Where Are Knytt Underground Save Files Located?
Where Knytt Underground keeps chapter ini files on each OS, and which color maps to which chapter number.
Last updated
Knytt Underground keeps chapters as color named ini files in the user location for each OS. Windows uses Roaming app data under the developer tree. Linux uses a dot folder in home outside XDG rules. Mac standalone builds nest settings inside the app bundle.
Steam Cloud mirrors the same files under AppID 248190 for transfer between machines. A Cloud ini file can also fix fullscreen flags by hand editing. Copy the set whole with the game closed. Powerup states share the ini files, so copy the color set whole.
Where Knytt Underground stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Nifflas

~/.Nifflas/Knytt Underground

Frequently asked questions
Which Knytt Underground file is which chapter?
Red covers chapter one, green covers chapter two and blue covers chapter three. Each file name carries its color plus the world name. Back up the whole folder to carry the trilogy at once.
How do I move standalone Mac saves into Steam?
Start a fresh game in each chapter first, then overwrite the generated ini files with the old ones while Steam is closed. The Cloud copy accepts the swapped files on next launch. Keep the originals until the moved chapters load.
