Going Medieval Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-07

Save file location (Windows): %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval\VillageSaves

Quick answer: On PC, Going Medieval stores your saves in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval\VillageSaves\ — that is C:\Users\<you>\AppData\LocalLow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval\VillageSaves\ . Note it is LocalLow (not Roaming or Local), and each settlement is its own file in VillageSaves. This is NOT the Steam install folder, and AppData is hidden by default. Steam Cloud mirrors this folder and syncs on launch/exit, so a corrupted save can overwrite your good cloud copy — copy the Going Medieval folder before updating or moving PCs.

Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval\VillageSaves
Steam Cloud: Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Going Medieval keeps your settlements under AppData\LocalLow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval\VillageSaves — and the LocalLow part trips most people up. Here is the exact PC path, how to open the hidden folder, and how to back a settlement up before a bad cloud sync.

Save file locations

Windows

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval\VillageSaves

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\LocalLow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval\VillageSaves\ . It is LocalLow, not Roaming/Local. Press Win+R and paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval — AppData is hidden, so this is the reliable way in.

Steam Cloud

Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Steam Cloud keeps a mirrored copy and syncs on launch/exit. Coming back online or verifying files after a crash can pull the cloud copy down — see the cloud-conflict steps first.

Cloud saves

Going Medieval uses Steam Cloud on PC and syncs the VillageSaves folder on launch/exit. A corrupted or half-written save can overwrite your good cloud copy the next launch, with no visible version history. Treat a manual copy of the Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval folder as your real backup, kept outside the game directory.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

The common loss is 'my progress rolled back' after a crash or a session on a second PC — the cloud synced an older or half-written save over the newer local one.

Before relaunching after a crash, copy %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval somewhere outside the game folder.
If the cloud rolled your progress back, go offline / disable cloud sync for this game in its launcher before launching, so the bad cloud copy cannot sync down again.
Restore your copied folder into the same path, launch once offline to confirm the right progress, then re-enable cloud so the good save uploads.

Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

One-line backup: paste this in Command Prompt to copy your whole Going Medieval save folder to the Desktop before an update or PC move.

robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\GoingMedieval-save-backup" /E

Run it with the game closed. To restore, swap the source and destination paths.

FAQ

Where is the Going Medieval save file on PC?

In C:\Users\<you>\AppData\LocalLow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval\VillageSaves\ — note LocalLow, not Roaming/Local. Press Win+R and paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval .

Does Going Medieval use Steam Cloud?

Yes. The VillageSaves folder syncs through Steam Cloud on launch and exit, so a bad local save can overwrite the good cloud copy — keep a manual copy as a real backup.

How do I move my Going Medieval saves to a new PC?

Let Steam Cloud sync, or copy the AppData\LocalLow\Foxy Voxel\Going Medieval folder to the same path on the new PC before first launch.

Why can't I see the AppData folder for Going Medieval?

AppData is hidden by default. Press Win+R and paste the LocalLow path directly, or enable 'Hidden items' in File Explorer's View tab.
