Where Are The Planet Crafter Save Files Located?

The Planet Crafter saves as plain JSON files in LocalLow under MijuGames. Path, naming pattern and the in game shortcut to open it.

Last updated

The Planet Crafter stores saves as readable JSON in LocalLow rather than Local, which is the first place people look and fail. Each file is named for its world type with a number, like Survival-1.

You never need to memorize the path. Pressing F1 in the main menu opens the save directory directly. A Backup subfolder holds fallback copies, and Player.log sits next to the saves when you need to send the developers a bug report.

Where The Planet Crafter stores this, by platform

Windows
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\MijuGames\Planet Crafter

World saves are JSON files at this level with a Backup folder beside them. LocalLow is hidden by default, so enable hidden items in File Explorer or use the F1 shortcut in game.

They are plain JSON and open in any text editor, though one missed comma breaks the file. Copy the save to your desktop before editing so a bad edit costs you nothing.
