Working with save files

[Theodore]

Hello! Recently I was wandering how I can create a back up from a specific save file/slot as well as move their slot in game and so on. I have been looking through the internet but could not find anything of help. As you can imagine, I am playing SR on Steam. Thank you in advance for your time!

The best way to create a backup of a specific save is to make a copy of the save file. Trouble is, Steam cloud saves will always overwrite any saves that you replace. In order to prevent it, you have to Disable Steam Cloud Saves for SnowRunner before replacing your save file with a backup copy. Then play awhile with the replaced Save file before you activate Cloud Save again.

Save Location for Steam Version:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\% UNIQUE FOLDER NAME %\1465360\remote\CompleteSave.cfg

Save files are as follows:
CompleteSave.cfg = First Slot Save
CompleteSave1.cfg = Second Slot Save
CompleteSave2.cfg = Third Slot Save
CompleteSave3.cfg = Fourth Slot Save

If you want to relocate the position of your save, you can rename the file accordingly. But keep in mind, Steam Cloud save will overwrite it again if Cloud Save is still active when you change the save.

Hi there,
Though I have found and changed the file names doing so will cause the file to not show up. I have tried to move my first save to last and second to first, but the renamed file will never show up in the save slot. Is there something else I'd need to change? Steam Cloud is off and after closing the game the files are still there unchanged. It just does not seem to work once in game. Thank you for your reply!

I had that issue too. SR didn't like it when I renamed or modified the files in any way. I know it can be done but it always corrupted my files. Thankfully, I had a backup.

Would be interested to see how you fix it, if you can.

Hello. Maybe someone can help me here. I'm trying to play around and change some values in my CompleteSave.cfg file, but currently I was able only to change the amount of currency I have. That's not actually what I need, but it's working. Changing other settings is not. Like:

"gameDifficultySettings": {
"needToAddDlcTrucks": false,
"startingLevelState": 1,
"recoveryPrice": [0, 0, 2500, 5000, 8000, 5000, 2000],
"autoloadPrice": 150,
"trailerSellingFactor": 1.0,
"sellMultiplier": 0.5,
"fullRepairPrice": [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
"deployPrice": {
"Map": 100,
"Region": 100

Here I changed the deploy price,but when I'm trying to deploy my truck to another region it still shows standard 3500$ price. Same for trailer selling possibility. Another starnge thing is that I changed the IsHardmode to false, but the game still consider I'm playing on the Hardmode.
Any suggestions?

I know this is an old topic but did you manage to fix the situation? Same thing happened to me, I digged a lot but haven't found anything about that :(

Hello.
I would like to make a copy of the save (my current save file is CompleteSave1) and change this copy to hard mode.

According to many guides, I copied this file and changed 1 to 2 in its name. I also copied all files starting with '1_sts_level', '1_fog_level' and '1_sts_mudmaps_' and also changed the first 1 to 2.
Additionally, in 'CompleteSave2' I changed:
a. {"CompleteSave1" to {"CompleteSave2" (at the very beginning)
b. parameter isHardMode" to "true"
c. parameter "gameDifficultyMode" to "1"

Effect: I see new save in the game appeared in the 3rd slot (with the information HARD MODE), but when I load the game all maps are undiscovered and trucks are in the storage. Despite this, the status of contracts matches the original save. What am I doing wrong?

I'm afraid no solution has been found thus far.

There is really no possibility?
