Upload or switch Space Engineers world saves
A Space Engineers world should be uploaded as the whole world folder, not just one file. The server also has to be pointed at the correct folder before it will load the save.
Prepare the save
On Windows, the world is usually under %appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Saves. Zip the full world folder so it includes files like Sandbox.sbc, Sandbox_config.sbc, and SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbs.
Upload the world
- Open the server in the VialStack panel.
- Go to Files.
- Upload the zip to the server.
- Extract it under
Instance/Saves/.
Point the server at it
Open Instance/SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg and make sure the load world path/name points to the uploaded save folder. The panel world-name variable may also need to match the same save name.
Common mistakes
- Uploading only
Sandbox.sbcinstead of the whole folder. - Leaving the world zip unextracted.
- Using a different folder name than the config expects.
- Restarting before the save path is correct.
