Where Are Empires of the Undergrowth Save Files Located?
Empires of the Undergrowth saves under the EotU abbreviation in Local AppData, with configs beside them.
Last updated
Empires of the Undergrowth abbreviates its save folder to EotU in Local AppData. Anyone searching for Empires or Undergrowth finds nothing, which is why this one gets asked about far more than its popularity would suggest.
The layout is standard Unreal Engine underneath: SaveGames for colonies and Config for settings. Steam Cloud, GOG Galaxy and Epic all sync their builds, so manual backups matter mostly before reinstalls and Linux experiments.
Where Empires of the Undergrowth stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\EotU\Saved\SaveGames
Search for EotU, not the full title. Graphics settings sit beside saves in Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no Empires of the Undergrowth folder in AppData?
The folder is abbreviated to EotU. Look for EotU/Saved/SaveGames in Local AppData instead of anything with the full game name.
Do GOG and Steam versions share saves?
Both use the same EotU folder, so saves transfer between stores by simply existing. Cloud sync is per-store, so copy manually when switching.
