Where Are Volcanoids Save Files Located?
Volcanoids keeps Unity saves under LocalLow Volcanoid with a legacy DefaultCompany spelling on old installs.
Last updated
Volcanoids is a Unity steampunk survival game at Steam AppID 951440. Saves live under LocalLow, not Local and not Documents. Linux builds mirror under the unity3d config tree. Worlds, config and Player.log travel together in the folder, so the location matters for full backups. Local copies stay authoritative after modding.
Old beta installs used a DefaultCompany vendor string that later builds renamed. Check both spellings when migrating across years. Back up before major updates. Drillship state can orphan on version jumps, so copy the whole folder with the game closed and verify the backup before wiping.
