Where Are Terraforming Mars Save Files Located?
Terraforming Mars keeps local saves in AppData\LocalLow\LuckyHammers\Terraforming Mars\Saves\LocalGameSave on PC and in its app folder on Android.
Last updated
Terraforming Mars stores local games under a LuckyHammers folder in LocalLow, with one LocalGameSave folder holding them. Logs sit beside the saves, which is why bug reports ask for both paths together. Configuration hides in a BaseConfiguration sibling.
Android keeps the mirror layout inside the app folder rather than shared storage. Online multiplayer progress stays server side and never touches these folders. Only solo local games depend on files you can see.
Where Terraforming Mars stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\LuckyHammers\Terraforming Mars\Saves\LocalGameSave
LocalGameSave folder for solo games plus Player.log for diagnostics. Copy both with game closed for backups. Config lives in Saves BaseConfiguration.
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.asmodeedigital.terraformingmars/files/Saves/LocalGameSaves
Mirror of the PC layout in app private storage. Pull over USB for backups. Reinstalls wipe it, so copy first.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/800270/pfx/
Proton prefix for app ID 800270 mirroring the Windows tree. Steam root varies. Copy saves out before Proton changes.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Terraforming Mars saves?
On PC copy the Saves folder with the game closed. On Android pull the Saves folder over USB or back it up before reinstalls. Online games live on Asmodee servers instead and need no file care.
What files do devs want for bug reports?
Grab Player.log from the same LuckyHammers folder on PC and send it with the LocalGameSave folder. The developers ask for both in bug reports. On Android the equivalent comes from the app folder.
