Where Are Stranded: Alien Dawn Save Files Located?
The Alien Dawn save folder on PC, with per-account saves in Saved Games and config in Roaming.
Last updated
Alien Dawn splits its data across two homes: colony saves in the Saved Games profile folder under a per account level, and settings in a lua file in Roaming. Neither side mentions the other, so full backups need both stops.
The dash spacing in Stranded - Alien Dawn matters for typed paths. Copy it exactly and the crash site opens on the first try.
Where Stranded: Alien Dawn stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Stranded - Alien Dawn\[SteamID64]
Profile Saved Games folder with a 64-bit account level at the bottom. Settings live apart in Roaming as LocalStorage.lua, so back up both for a full transfer.
Frequently asked questions
Is Saved Games the same as Documents?
No. Saved Games sits directly under your user profile beside Documents. Paste the full path above into Explorer.
Why did settings reset after moving PCs?
Options live in Roaming, not the save folder. Copy LocalStorage.lua alongside the colony saves for a complete move.
