Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Locate Your Singleplayer Save

Your local Foundry saves are stored here:

C:\Users\your-username\AppData\LocalLow\Channel 3 Entertainment\Foundry\save

Each folder here contains multiple saves, including autosaves.

For this example we’ll use Jeer_178174133. You can rename this if you like, but just remember the name for step 5!
