Where Are Humankind Save Files Located?
Humankind Save Files folder in Documents on Windows, cloud coverage, and moving campaigns between machines.
Last updated
Humankind keeps campaigns in a Save Files folder under Documents, one of the plainest layouts in modern strategy. Steam Cloud and Epic both sync it, which covers most machine hopping without manual copies.
Manual backups still pay off before major updates and mod experiments, since Amplitude patches occasionally strand older campaigns. Copy the whole Humankind folder with the game closed. Matching DLC and mods on the target machine decides whether a transfer loads.
Where Humankind stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Humankind\Save Files
Campaigns and autosaves share this folder. Both Steam and Epic cloud sync cover it. The Documents path follows folder redirection on managed machines.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Humankind campaigns?
Close the game and copy the entire Humankind folder with a date in the name. Pause cloud sync before any restore, then launch once to confirm the campaign list loads.
Why won't my transferred Humankind save load?
DLC and mod mismatches are the usual cause. Match expansions and enabled mods on the target machine first. A campaign referencing absent content refuses to open.
