The Colony Ship save folder on PC, in Unreal layout under a spaceless folder in Local AppData.

Last updated

Colony Ship saves the generation ship in Local AppData under a spaceless ColonyShipGame folder, with standard Unreal SaveGames below. Iron Tower's post apocalyptic corridors follow engine convention throughout.

Steam Cloud mirrors the tree, which covers most reinstalls. Copy SaveGames before the Pit fights turn serious, since the ship shows no mercy to the unbacked.
