Where Are Besiege Save Files Located?
Where Besiege keeps machines, levels, and progress inside Besiege_Data, and the shortcut to open it in-game.
Last updated
Besiege stores everything beside its own executable in a Besiege_Data folder: saved machines, completed levels, and stats. The in-game load tab links straight to the folder, which is the fastest route in. Steam installs nest it under the common folder for the app.
Machine files are tiny .bsg files that share easily by mail or drive. Progress and creations back up together by copying the data folder with the game closed. A missing SavedMachines folder usually just needs creating or the correct user account.
Where Besiege stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Besiege\Besiege_Data
Machines as .bsg files in SavedMachines with progress in CompletedLevels and Level files beside them. Open it fastest through the in-game load tab link. Copy the data folder with the game closed for full migration.
Frequently asked questions
how do I back up Besiege
Copy the whole Besiege_Data folder with the game closed to move everything. Machines, unlocked levels, and stats travel together. Workshop subscriptions resubscribe on their own, so local files are the precious part.
how do I install downloaded machines
Click the file location link under the in-game load tab to open the folder directly. That beats hunting through Steam directories by hand. Drop downloaded .bsg files there, close and reopen the tab, and they appear.
what lives in Besiege_Data
Machines live as .bsg files in SavedMachines while progress sits in CompletedLevels and Level files. Keep a desktop shortcut to the folder for frequent builders. Missing folders usually mean launching the wrong install or user account.
