Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Bitburner saves?
Export from in-game options to base64 JSON. Local files hold config plus logs only. Steam Cloud syncs the exported state. Never trust userdata cache as authority.
Roaming SaveGames folder?
Fabricated Roaming save folder guides are wrong. Saves live in WebKit localStorage with export as the path out. Config JSON plus logs are the only real files.
