If you’ve tired hours building the ideal base, fine-adjusting your ships, or casting an epic handle scenario in Space Engineers, it makes sense to bring that nature online for assistance. Hosting on GTXGaming lets you share your nature with friends or a section—but how do you shift your regional save to the waiter?
In this lead, we’ll walk you across the entire process of uploading your world save to GTXGaming, with clear steps, tips you won’t find elsewhere, and a few small stratagems that’ll help escape common issues.
🧰 What You’ll Need Before You Start
Before diving in, make sure you’ve got:
- A working Space Engineers world save on your PC.
- Access to the GTXGaming control panel for your Space Engineers server.
- Basic understanding of zipping files and using a file manager.
💡 Tip: Avoid uploading a corrupted or autosave world. Always use a manual save when possible.
🗂️ Step 1: Locate Your World Save on PC
Space Engineers stores all world saves locally in this directory:
mathematica
CopyEdit
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves\
You’ll find a folder for each world you’ve played. The folder name generally matches the universe name you set in-game.
📝 Note: The AppData folder is secret by default. You may need to enable “Show secret files” in Windows Explorer.
📦 Step 2: Zip Your World Folder
To upload your save to GTXGaming, you first need to compress it into a .zip file.
Here’s how:
- Right-click on your world’s folder.
- Pick “Send to” → “Compressed (zipped) folder.”
- A new .zip file will be produced in the matching location.
🧠 Insight: Zipping isn’t just through saving upload time. Some control panels won’t recognize loose folders, so this step prevents extraction errors.
🔐 Step 3: Log in to GTXGaming Control Panel
Head over to the GTXGaming control panel:

- Log in using your account details.
- Go to “Game Servers”.
- Click on your Space Engineers server.
From here, you’ll access everything related to file management and configuration.
🧭 Step 4: Navigate to the Correct Folder
In the waiter dashboard, look for “File Manager” on the left-hand card.
Now go to:
bash
CopyEdit
/spaceengineers/saves/
This is where the server stores all your world saves.
⬆️ Step 5: Upload and Extract the World Save
Upload your zipped world file to the saves folder.
Once uploaded:
- Select the .zip file.
- Use the Extract option (usually a right-click or button in the File Manager).
After extraction, your world will appear as a folder. This folder name should match what you will represent in the config.
⚠️ Important: Avoid spaces or particular characters in folder names. It’s best to use underline (_) or keep it simple.
⚙️ Step 6: Set the Server to Load Your World
Now it’s time to tell your server to load the new world.
Go to the Commandline Manager or Configuration Files (depending on your server type).
Look for an option like:
- “World Name”
- “Save Name”
- “World Folder”
Set this to the exact name of the folder you just uploaded (case-sensitive).
🧠 Pro tip: If you don’t see your world load, triple-check that the folder name matches exactly—including spacing and capitalization.
🔁 Step 7: Restart Your Server
With the world uploaded and selected, restart your server from the dashboard.
When it boots up, it should now load your custom world.
Log in through the game client and enjoy your creation—now live on the server!
🧩 Common Issues & Tips
Even though the process is simple, here are a few things many people miss:
❌ Problem: World not showing up after restart?
Solution: Ensure you extracted the zipped file and didn’t leave it zipped. Also, double-check the folder name in config settings.
❌ Problem: “Server not responding” after upload?
Solution: Large or corrupted world files can cause this. Try uploading a backup version or removing mods that aren’t installed on the server.
✅ Best Practice: Always generate a local backup before load any changes. Faults can happen, and processing a backup gives calm of mind.
🌌 Final Thoughts
Racing your practice Space Engineers nature on GTXGaming isn’t just realizable—it’s a great way to expand your gameplay with buddies or a company. In case you’re revealing an epic space depot or testing a ride map, transferring your world unlocks the door to constructive multiplayer skills.
Remember, the key marks are:
- Zip your save folder,
- Upload to the right server directory,
- Configure the server to load it,
- And restart!
With a little construction, you’ll have your nature up and running in no time.
