Save location on dedicated server?

[PyroMancer]

I'm trying to find where the saves are on the dedicated server but not having much luck. I checked in C:\Users\steam\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineersDedicated\Default\Saves but the only thing there is a last loaded file which is only a few KB in size.

I also checked the SE folder with the Dedicated in the title and nothing there as well. There have been like 5 different worlds hosted on this server thus far and they were several MB so they should be easy to spot in the folders listed. On my personal computer the saves are in that location and SEToolbox is able to find the files on the Dedicated server so it doesn't make sense they aren't there.

Sadly SEToolbox doesn't show where it's getting this list from. The save option doesn't show where it's saving to and trying to open another directory just defaults to My Documents folder.

Location of saved worlds:

• If the dedicated server is started as a local/console application:
  "%APPDATA%\SpaceEngineersDedicated\Saves"
  
  
• If the server is started as a Windows service:
  "%ProgramData%\SpaceEngineersDedicated\<service_name>\Saves"

(a copy/paste of that post, as I didn't want to write it by hand again :P)

No. I can't see an option for that. But you can use directory junctions or symbolic links.

Part of me looking for the Save location was because I wanted to backup the world as I was going to start looking into mods. I was wondering since the server is set as a window service will that also effect where I need to put the mods?

Workshop mods will be downloaded automatically by the dedicated server into its directory (%ProgramData%\SpaceEngineersDedicated\<service_name>\Mods) if you configure it correctly (by providing workshop IDs).

While the server mods will be placed in the server's directory, if you connect to it from the same machine with a client, they will be as well downloaded into the client's directory (%APPDATA%\SpaceEngineers\Mods). In such case you can save space used by these mods by soft- (symbolic) or hard-linking the mod archives.
