Farming Simulator 25 server backups and savegames

Your Farming Simulator 25 farm is backed up every 10 minutes while the server runs, and before every risky step. A backup holds your savegame, the server’s settings and your mods. You can restore one, or download it as a zip, from Backups.

What a backup holds

The game’s own files aren’t in backups. They install fresh from GIANTS’ official source.

How backups work on Wilderack

• Every 10 minutes while the server runs and something has changed, a safe copy is made of the last save.
• Every time it sleeps, if you turned sleep on. Farming Simulator 25 stays awake by default.
• Before every risky step: switching games, restoring, updating and installing mods. These copies are kept for 7 days.
• By hand: open Backups and make one, with a label like “before harvest”.
• On a schedule: add a backup to Schedules, such as every 6 hours.

The game writes the farm to disk when it saves, which it does on its own every so often. Backups copy the last save, so anything since then isn’t in them yet.

Restore a backup

1. Open Backups and pick the backup by its date or label.
2. Choose restore. The panel makes a backup of the current farm first, so you can undo it.
3. The server restarts with the restored farm.

Download a backup

Open Backups, choose a backup and download it. You get a zip with a link that works for 24 hours. Inside is the savegame folder, which you can load in single player too.

Where the farm lives on the server

On the server, your farm is in a savegame folder, savegame1 unless you pick another slot. It’s in the server’s Farming Simulator 25 data folder, next to the mods folder. You can see both in Files.

Stop the server before you change anything in a savegame folder. The game rewrites it when it saves, so a running server would overwrite your change.

Bring your single-player farm

Find your savegame

Each farm is a folder named after its slot in the game’s career menu: the first slot is savegame1, the second savegame2 and so on.

On Windows, if Documents is synced with OneDrive, the folder may be inside your OneDrive folder instead. On a Mac, press Cmd + Shift + G in Finder and paste the path to open it.

Upload it

1. Close Farming Simulator 25, so the savegame is fully saved.
2. Zip the savegame folder, for example savegame3.
3. In the panel, open Games > Bring your world and upload the zip.
4. Upload the same mods your farm uses, from your own mods folder, or install them from Mods.
5. Check that the server has every DLC your farm uses.
6. Start the server.

A single-player farm keeps its money, fields and machines. Your friends join it as new players and can join your farm or start their own.

Move a farm from another host

1. Stop the server at the old host.
2. Download its savegame folder and its mods folder, through the old host’s panel or file access.
3. Zip the savegame folder and upload it in Games > Bring your world.
4. Upload the mods, or install them from Mods.
5. Set your server name and passwords in Settings, then start the server.

Players find the server by its name, so keep the same name if you want your regulars to find you.
