Save Files and Updating

How to find your save folder

⚠️

To access these folders you might need to tick the box that says "show hidden files".

Mac:

library/applicationsupport/com.moonlightingarland.moonlight/(USER_ID)

File types

From 1.3.6Y and beyond, save files are stored as editable json. Pre-1.3.6Y, files were stored as a mixture of json and ds_grid information and are not editable.

Files are orangised per user by your user_id and save_id.

⚠️

USER_ID - Steam’s user id or a default 0000000000 for non-Steam players.

SAVE_ID - A randomly generated 6 digit number specific to your save file.

Save file:

MiG_SaveDataJson_slot_(SAVE_ID).sav

Debug log:

MiG_debug_slot_(SAVE_ID).log

User settings:

(USER_ID)_MiG_Settings_Data.json

⚠️

Back ups:

When you save, your old save file is transferred to the /BACKUP folder. Old full log files are also stored here in case they need to be retrieved.
