Where Are Forager Save Files Located?
Forager saves GameMaker files in Local Forager folder, with Linux builds under ~/.config.
Last updated
Forager stores saves as data.txt plus slot files in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Forager on Windows with Steam Cloud mirroring. Linux builds use ~/.config/Forager instead. One Windows profile means one save set, which surprises shared PCs.
Back up the folder with the game closed before mod experiments. Humble builds transfer through the same data.txt copy trick. Cloud conflicts resolve by picking local or remote explicitly.
Where Forager stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[You]\AppData\Local\Forager
data.txt plus slot and ini files. Steam Cloud mirrors them. Shared Windows profiles share saves, so separate OS users per player.
~/.config/Forager
Same GameMaker layout under XDG config. Copy with the game closed. Steam Play builds instead mirror the Windows path in compatdata.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Forager saves from Humble to Steam?
Copy the Humble data.txt contents into the Steam install data.txt per Humble support docs. Options and mods do not transfer, only progress.
Why did my brother's Forager saves overwrite mine?
Same Windows profile shares the Local folder and cloud account merges followed. Use separate OS users per player going forward.
