Where Are Timberborn Saves Located?
Timberborn Documents folder with map saves and Timberborn depot files on PC.
Last updated
Timberborn saves into Documents under its own folder, with colony saves per map plus the custom map editor files. Update 6 reorganized internals, so very old guides name paths that no longer exist.
Each save bundles the colony, water simulation state and beaver census together. Copy the folder and droughts resume exactly mid-season.
Where Timberborn stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Timberborn
Colony saves and custom maps sit inside with settings nearby. Exact inner names shifted across early access updates, so back up the whole Timberborn folder with the game closed rather than single files.
