Where Are Starsand Save Files Located?
Starsand saves per user ID inside a Tunnel Vision Studio folder in LocalLow on Steam.
Last updated
Starsand files its saves under the Tunnel Vision Studio developer name in LocalLow, inside a per-user-ID subfolder. Shared machines keep each player's desert separate automatically, which is convenient until you need to tell the folders apart.
The numeric ID folder matches the Steam account, so migrating means copying the right numbered directory rather than the whole tree. Steam Cloud syncs the game, but the per-ID layout is what makes manual backups slightly fiddly.
Where Starsand stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\LocalLow\Tunnel Vision Studio\Starsand
Open the numbered user-ID folder inside for the actual saves. Match the ID to your account when several people share the PC.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1380220/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Tunnel Vision Studio/Starsand
Proton prefix for Steam Deck and Linux desktops, app ID 1380220. Same per-ID nesting inside the prefix.
Frequently asked questions
Which Starsand folder is mine?
The numbered subfolder matching your Steam user ID. When only one person plays on the machine there is just one, so the choice is obvious.
Does Starsand support Steam Cloud?
Yes. Cloud sync covers the save tree, with Epic and GOG Galaxy handling their own builds the same way.
