Where Are Islanders Save Files Located?
Where Islanders keeps its run save file in LocalLow on PC, the publisher folder rename, and backups.
Last updated
Islanders keeps its active run in a single island file inside LocalLow, with archived islands accumulating beside it. A publisher rename moved the folder from the original studio name to the new one, dating half the guides. Unity mac and Linux paths mirror the same layout.
Snapshot play means copying the live file aside under telling names. Cloud sync handles same-account moves while manual copies guard reinstalls. Both cost nothing, so maintain each. Show hidden folders to browse LocalLow at all.

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Coatsink\ISLANDERS
