Where Are Workers and Resources Saves Located?

Workers and Resources keeps saves in media soviet save inside the Steam install, not in AppData at all.

Last updated

Workers and Resources breaks the AppData habit. Saves live in media_soviet save inside the game install folder itself, usually SteamApps common SovietRepublic. Configs sit beside them as config.ini and controls.ini. That surprises everyone hunting Roaming first.

The install bound layout has consequences. Verifying files or moving libraries moves saves along with the game. Workshop maps merge into the same tree. Back up the save folder before updates, and open saves through the header.bin entries the community editor reads.

Frequently asked questions

Why are my Workers and Resources saves gone after moving drives?

They travel with the install folder, not AppData. Move the library without the game and saves stay behind. Copy media_soviet save across manually when relocating.

Where is the Workers and Resources config file?

At media_soviet config.ini beside saves. Set windowed mode and language through the launch Configuration Tool instead of hand editing where possible.
