Best way to backup your farm

[Wimder]

Hello all,

I am new to game just starting today, But I can already see myself spending alot of time playing! I use to play minecraft and one of my biggest heart breaks was playing a world for 6 months and then my computer crapping out on me, and I lost everything. So I was hoping to learn early on how to back up my farm to a thumb drive every few days or so, that way if my computer does nose dive ever again, I wont have to start from scratch.

Was wondering where the save file is located by default, Im on pc and using steam.

Hi! If you're on Windows, press the windows key + r and then search for %appdata%\StardewValley\Saves

Other methods are here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Find_your_save_files

Your saves are located here:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\Saves

Each save has it's own folder in the format FarmName_serialnumber:

FuturePrfect_359069627

It's fully portable and should work on any current version of Stardew Valley, including on Mac, Android, and iOS. Getting your save to those other platforms can be a fun challenge, though!
