Where Are Dungeons of Dredmor Save Files Located?
Dredmor keeps saves in Documents\Gaslamp Games\Dungeons of Dredmor with one .dredmorsave folder per character plus config.xml and workshop mods.
Last updated
Dredmor stores each hero in its own .dredmorsave folder under Documents Gaslamp Games. Inside sit level files, mod data, and skill icons per character. The layout is readable enough that backups mean copying one folder.
Steam Cloud is the hazard with this old title. The game ignores the Steam toggle and follows its own config.xml flag instead, which eats manually copied saves on launch. Flip that flag off once and file copies behave from then on.
Where Dungeons of Dredmor stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Gaslamp Games\Dungeons of Dredmor
One .dredmorsave folder per living character with level.dat and savegame.dat inside. config.xml beside them controls cloud use. Workshop mods cache under steam_workshop subscribed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I fix a corrupted Dredmor save?
Back up the whole Gaslamp Games folder first, then check the character folder for 0 KB mod .dat files and replace them from the steam_workshop subscribed folder. Corrupt saves usually trace to one bad mod file rather than the whole dungeon.
Why do my copied Dredmor saves not show up?
Open config.xml in the save folder and flip the Steam Cloud tag from 1 to 0. The in Steam toggle alone does not stop this game, which surprises everyone. Copy saves manually with the game closed after that.
