Where Is the Cocoon Save File Located?
Cocoon files its single universe save per Steam account ID folder, with crash logs kept in a separate Temp tree.
Last updated
Geometric Interactive nests Cocoon saves one folder deeper than expected. Inside the game folder sits a numeric folder matching your Steam account ID, holding UniverseProgressSave.far as the entire run.
Single file saves make backup trivial and accidents total: one file is everything. Crash logs live in a Temp tree the game never cleans aggressively, which support requests for alongside saves. Shared PCs accumulate one numeric folder per player.
Where Cocoon stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\GeometricInteractive\Cocoon
UniverseProgressSave.far is the whole run inside your numeric Steam ID folder. Crash logs live separately in Temp for bug reports.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up my run?
Close the game and copy UniverseProgressSave.far elsewhere. Restoring means dropping it back into your numeric ID folder. The file is tiny, so keep dated copies without thinking twice.
What do I send for a crash report?
Collect the crash logs from the Temp tree plus the save file and send both to the developer address. Logs live apart from saves specifically so bug reports can include both halves.
