Where Are Griftlands Save Files Located?

Where Griftlands keeps its campaign saves and unlocks in the Klei folder on PC, per studio pattern.

Last updated

Griftlands saves at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Klei\Griftlands, following the Klei studio pattern shared with Don't Starve and Oxygen Not Included. Klei games use Documents, never AppData.

That house style is the whole guide: look for the studio, not the title. Copy the Griftlands folder with the game closed and campaigns, unlocks, and settings all move. Steam Cloud mirrors the same tree when enabled. Both battle types share files. Sal, Rook, and Smith persist together. Shills persist too.

Where Griftlands stores this, by platform

Windows
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Klei\Griftlands

Campaign and unlock saves here plus settings beside them. Paste the path into Explorer. Sibling Klei folders hold the other games, so copy only Griftlands for a clean move.

Linux
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/601150/pfx/.../Klei/Griftlands

Same Klei tail under the home share path for native builds. Proton runs use the Windows shaped Documents tree inside the prefix. Copy the folder contents straight across either way.

Frequently asked questions

how do i back up griftlands saves

Copy %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Klei\Griftlands to the same path with the game closed. Campaign runs and unlocks travel together. Steam Cloud may mirror saves, but the folder copy is certain and keeps negotiation decks intact.

why is there no griftlands folder in appdata

Search Documents for Klei, the studio folder every Klei game shares. Don't Starve, Oxygen Not Included, and Griftlands each get their own subfolder under it. One bookmark for Klei covers the whole catalog.

where is the griftlands config file

In the same Klei tree (settings and logs beside the saves). Deleting the settings file resets options without touching a single run. The pattern matches every Klei title, so experience transfers directly.
