This is the correct answer.

For example, mine is...
C:\Users\Ventus\AppData\Roaming\HelloGames\NMS

in that folder is one called st_349728423978789. Thats your save folder.

Note, thats the %APPDATA% folder.

Cut some of the saves out of the folder , then copy them back one by one to know which is which one
Or you can just look at the date of the files

i have no appdata folder under my user name.... nor in any of the other files under users. any other ideas? ive even searched "hello games" in the entirety of my c drive to no avail...

Side note - is anyone else getting constant CTD issues? started happening to me round 6pm 8-7-18 and has been getting progressively worse. the whole reason im looking for my save file is so i can back it up and re-install to see if that fixes the problem...

AppData is a hidden folder by default, so you'll need to go in to the folder options and enable viewing hidden files and folders. After you do that, you can make a shortcut to the folder so you don't have to re-enable hidden files/folders every time you need to access it.
