Where Are Planet Coaster Save Files Located?
Planet Coaster Saves folder with its user ID level, the Config sibling, and moving parks between machines.
Last updated
Planet Coaster files saves under Saved Games in a Frontier Developments tree, with a numbered user ID folder between the game name and the Saves directory. That middle level trips up manual backups that copy one level too few.
Settings sit in Config beside Saves at the same depth, while a second config tree lives in LocalAppData. Steam Cloud covers the saves. Copy the whole numeric user folder with the game closed to keep parks, blueprints and settings aligned.

Your Frontier user ID. Each account on the machine gets its own, so pick the right one when several exist. Copy that whole folder to move everything for one account.
