*.wld file location

[Sandman]

Good afternoon terrarians:
I have seemed to have lost a few worlds! I know they are out there somewhere. After doing some searches on the boards here - and internet - either I overlooked this topic or its not there.

I am using MoreTerrar to view some world maps and can not locate the worlds I just used.
If I use the cloud to back up the worlds I use, isnt that data also backed up on my system?
If yes , where exactly? I saw some old world information on my system:
(drive)
My Games
Terraria
(world name)

Even after some wildcard searches on the drive I use, I am unable to select the world from my desktop directory. Any guidance would be appreciated.

As a side note, MoreTerra has been updated and is working with a new world I created.

For starters, your Steam Cloud worlds are stored on the Steam Cloud and thus I'm fairly sure are lurking somewhere inside your Steam folder for offline use (you can still use Cloud worlds whilst Steam is running in Offline mode). A bit of googling says to check under Userdata.

Non-clouded worlds are hiding under My Documents / Games / Terraria (or it might be My Games - either way, it's around there).

Steam Cloud will occassionally corrupt itself, characters and worlds with it, which often causes worlds to vanish.

I took a look inside the steam folder you mentioned in the reply post. I didnt see any world (.wld) files. I was curious if there was a setting that was not saving the world information to my hard drive.
I opened steam, did a left click on the game, got the properties window. Under the updates tab, unchecked Enable Steam cloud synchronization for Terraria. When I logged out of the game, the one world showed up in the following drive:
User / (name) / mydocuments / My games / Terraria / World

Since 1.3 first came out, and with it steam cloud sync, I've heard nothing but heartache about world file corruption and the cloud.

As such, I always just manually backup and move my terraria files from computer to computer via a flash drive and the Documents/my games/Terraria folder.

Are all your saves on the Cloud?

Are you on a Mac or running Linux?

There should be. Are you on Windows?
