Where Are Necesse Save Files Located?
Necesse keeps worlds in Roaming Necesse saves with config beside it, plus Mac and Linux mirrors. Back up with the game closed.
Last updated
Necesse is a pixel survival game at Steam AppID 1169040 that stores in Roaming, not Local. Worlds sit in saves with config in cfg next door. Mac and Linux follow their platform conventions with the same leaf names. The location matters because worlds and settings live side by side. Saves grow with each world.
Steam Cloud is enabled and covers part of the tree. Back up before major updates. World format bumps can orphan old saves while settings carry over. Copy with the game closed. Prefer sync over hand copies for routine moves. Check worlds inside the game after restore.
