(Palworld) Transferring local save data to Nitrado

hey everyone uh welcome back to another tutorial I'm going to go through really briefly how to Port over a save um uh that is on your local folder structure you're playing with kind of on your own computer to a dedicated server specifically in a TR out there's not a lot of uh stuff that's you know talking about how to transfer stuff I will say that you're not going to be able to transfer over character progress um what you'll need to do in your server before you'll do this is um if you want to keep repels you're going to need to drop them on the ground you know they'll they'll be in your same base area you can you can Spike uh your exp rate your catch rate and be able to catch them all you know right afterwards um but kind of the thought is is basically there's no real easy way to kind of get everything back and the reason that is is because uh you know basically uh the your dedicated server is not going to know you know which character you are and So currently there's no as far as I know so really this is just kind of preserving kind of the the building structures or kind of the game step that you had previously and so might help if you made a bunch of buildings or invested a lot of time into um basically uh you know capturing resources and so if you wanted to have some crack at uh basically you know saving a little bit of time this is one way to do it and so basically uh the gist of this is um you're going to want to Source your save files and so how you do that is you go into your you run first off you run this particular line of code percent app data percent and it will basically pull up your program list it'll go into app data the roaming director you want to go backwards and click into local and then from local you want to find the pal folder um and you'll want to go into saved your saved Gams because you want to transfer save and then click keep click looking in into this numerical file and you'll find all of your saves and so um the one we're going to be using for an example is this FDA folder and you'll notice it has like a bunch of these files within it I would say copy this uh into your desktop so you don't like corrupt your save that you might have worked very hard on and then you want to click inside of it in your desktop and so you'll notice that there's all these things I don't know these level save states basically just captures what the world looked like before you um had uh made a new server or sorry before you had locked off basically and so um what you're going to want to do is within n trotto you're going to want to go to all the way to the zero folder pass the save games and then you're going to want to create a new directory that mirrors this exact directory basically so really you're just gonna you know take the process to copy and paste everything in it's you know not the most fun thing to do with the world but I'll do it really quickly just as an example as to what it kind of look looks like um you can kind of select multiple things at once uh basically you can't can't choose uh folders to my knowledge as far as I know but uh I guess we'll see how easy it truly is these days yeah it doesn't you know it doesn't copy over the folders and so what you're gonna have to do is you're going to have to create folders that are like backup um as well as players go into backups and now you're going to want to do is are going to want to upload files from backup as well um let's start with local first um you'll need to replicate them pretty similarly there are some caveats so what you can do is you can choose the most recent file um you know should be ordered uh these are all like 12 13 14 this 15 252 it's basically just like 24-hour clock times is the most recent one and so what you're going to want to do is you can create uh another directory that's called whatever this number is uh know copy copy address this text there's probably an easier way to do that but you know you create a new directory that has that name and then you copy this path copy this file into your uh browser over here and so this way basically this is like you know allocating data from your most recent save into kind of like this backup area which I presume uh the game use this and then you should be go the local at this point you don't need to bring everything in you only need to bring one in you can then go to world and then world is the exact same thing uh you know of course you need to make sure you're in the right directory it should be backup make sure in backup um and then you need to make uh sorry you need to make a world directory um so I think I actually messed this up because I didn't make the local directory but um that's okay and so the world's a little bit more annoying um basically you're going to need to move all these in here and so you can like cycle through this however you need to go to the most recent save do this okay I should load that in after that you're going to want to make the players directory as well um so apologize if this is a little bit fast but this is definitely not uh my favorite thing to do in the world um it's just really wish there was an easier way to do it but there's not um you know I'm not really sure if you need to add like this player in I think this is like the first player ID it's not GNA you're not going to be able to connect to your previous characters but I think just for kind of posterity sake and just making it work uh it's good to just keep it as similar as possible um so I'm going to go backwards we basically finished up World effectively um I'll go back to backup you'll notice I messed this up because uh there's no uh local so where this is placed it's placed in the wrong area is the issue so I'm going to delete this this directory I'm going to create a new directory and I'll call it local and then we'll go through the same process again we're going to create another directory that has this time on it very exciting and now we're in the same folder now we now we uh do our shift right click copy this local data file into this subsequent local as well cool so that's backup um that's the backup folder uh there's also the players folder which is you know another thing that you have to do um let me get back to the very front so yeah I think the last thing really have to do all all you have to do is create the players folder now and you can basically again created another directory and then add the players in once more and then you should basically be done done with the importing section at least and so um this this is you know really it doesn't take too long uh once you kind of know what you're doing at the very least um what you're going to want to do after is there is a file that you're going to need to edit called games settings.ini I believe um game setting okay go back to power world you might know you might need to be way higher up in the file structure for it to to notice to find the file maybe settings oh game user settings that's strange maybe this is in config files it's usually almost always here and so I'm wondering if I'm just in the wrong area okay I'm just in the wrong game user settings there we go game user settings um you might need to back out a little bit or you know it's a little buggy and so basically click inside of it and what you're going to need to do is you're going to the really important thing here is that you update this dedicated server name so that up so it's targeting or pinpointing the right file and so all you need to do is just add this code in and replace this dedicated Ser server name with uh the one that we Bas the folder that you created basically uh and so I would replace it with this FDA I'm going to do that because U I currently have a different server on but this is just for kind of the example sake and after this basically your server should basically point it to um your own kind of progress or reflect your own progress um and of course you know from here on out you can uh update the configurations as needed uh sorry the config file as needed um and basically do whatever it is that you need to do to kind of uh update things um it seems like they've also like changed the layout of basically where the file is uh when it comes to you know things that you want to change and so um that's interesting maybe they like stop it when well while your service on stop but for kind of the purposes of this video this is basically all you need to know um and so yeah feel free to kind of scroll back leave in the comments if you have any additional questions um not the most fun process they make it pretty difficult but hopefully this gets you what you need at the end of the day um I I'll kind of leave off uh for those interested um there should be some documentation in the comments about uh how to trans for over character formation um for as much as I know it's a difficult process and maybe things have changed in the last week or so um but I think that this is kind of the the how things are looking at the moment and so hopefully this is a Band-Aid that helps you um but yeah please let me know if there's anything else that I can help with but otherwise yeah have em y'
