Where Are PC Building Simulator Save Files Located?
PC Building Simulator saves rigs as .binary files inside the Steam install folder, so verify and uninstalls threaten them.
Last updated
PC Building Simulator keeps saves in a Saves folder inside its own Steam install directory, per Steam-ID subfolders with .binary files (career, freebuild, achievements each separate). GOG mirrors the pattern under its Galaxy tree.
Install-folder storage is fragile by design: Steam verification and uninstalls can clear it. Treat the folder as transient and keep dated copies elsewhere after every build session.

Per-ID .binary files (career, freebuild, achievements). Install-folder location means verifies threaten saves; keep copies outside Steam.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up PC Building Simulator saves?
Copy the Saves folder out of the install tree with the game closed. Keep it outside Steam: verifies and uninstalls can wipe install-folder saves.
Which file do I send for a broken career save?
Sort the Saves folder by date modified and share the newest non-freebuild .binary. Freebuild rigs travel in freebuild.binary instead.
