Notes

By default our servers look for the file to be named 'gamesave.zip'.  This can be changed by navigating to the 'Startup' tab and changing the value under 'SAVE NAME'.  REMEMBER: Remove the ".zip" from the input to prevent any issues - so if your save file is named 'save1.zip' you'll want to enter 'save1' into the 'SAVE NAME' field.

You can also download a save file from the server for offline play or moving to another server by clicking the three dots ("...") to the left of the file and clicking the 'Download' option from the pull-out menu that appears.
