There has been a lot of praise for Against the Storm in the gaming community ever since its Early Access days. You will have to build up a bunch of settlements all around the map and get them to run as successfully as possible.
However, there is also the possibility of the Scorched Queen consigning your settlement as lost. In this game, the importance of the save file location and config file location will be very important as we discuss in the following guide.
Against The Storm – Save and Config File Location
The beauty of the game is that it is not entirely dependent on only the building settlement aspect. While you will be tasked with surviving for as long as possible in the early stages, players will also need to keep up with orders and make sure the people are happy.
The element of “randomness” plays a hugely important role as well here. You can get a blueprint of a building you need randomly from a bunch of rolls you already have.
The same goes for getting grain and roots that can be obtained out in the wild, or you may have a farm that grows them too.
This is where getting more and more familiar with the game helps in the long run. You will know better what to expect from the different settlements and how they run over time.
If you want to have something in a particular settlement, you will also have to think of the future in terms of how it can benefit your overall growth.
Therefore, it is clear that the game does have elements that vary from being easy to getting complex the deeper you dive into it. In light of all these, you are going to have to know the precise locations of the save file and config files.
Save File Location
For Windows users, the save file location is:
- %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm\Save.save
While Steam Play (Linux) players will be able to access them through
- <Steam-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/1336490/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Eremite Games/Against the Storm/Save.save.
These are the files that will keep your progress within the game, and that includes stuff like resources, research, information on settlements, and more.
The thing to remember is that there is only a single saved file in Against The Storm. You should backup this file as much as possible for your data to not get lost. That is why it is not recommended to change the code of this file on your own.
Config File Location
Windows users cannot edit the config files of this game, while Steam Play (Linux) users have some files that can be modified at
- <Steam-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/1336490/pfx/.
However, it is not sugged to go ahead with this plan as they can damage your files irreparably. Config files are vital for holding information like graphics, controls, and more. The game uses the default settings of Unity and stores them within the internal data.
The game’s in-game settings also have a lot of stuff you can change around. Cloud Saves are turned on across all platforms, so your progress is saved automatically and synced as well.
There are certain mods available to help you in editing files but it is not advised to use them for Against the Storm.
