XMODhub<\/a><\/footer>\n<\/div>\nWindows PC Save File Location (Steam & Epic Games)<\/h2>\n
Because Modulus: Factory Automation is built on the Unity engine, it does not use the standard “Documents” folder or the Unreal Engine “AppData\\Local” path. For players who purchased the game on Steam or Epic Games Store, the save files are securely tucked away in the hidden Windows AppData directory under LocalLow.<\/p>\n
How to navigate there manually:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Press the Windows Key + R<\/strong> to open the Run dialog box.<\/li>\n
- Type
%appdata%<\/code> and press Enter. (This opens the Roaming folder).<\/li>\n- Click “AppData” in your folder address bar to go up one level.<\/li>\n
- Open the LocalLow<\/strong> folder.<\/li>\n
- Scroll down and open the folder named Happy Volcano<\/strong> and then Modulus<\/strong>. Your factory blueprints and
.sav<\/code> files are located here.<\/li>\n- Note:<\/strong> If you cannot see the AppData folder, open File Explorer, click the View tab at the top, and check the box for “Hidden items”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Where to Find the Config File Settings (Graphics & FOV)<\/h2>\n
If you are trying to manually tweak graphics settings that are missing from the in-game menu (such as disabling motion blur, forcing V-Sync off, or altering shadow cascades for better performance on massive factories), you need to know how Unity handles configurations.<\/p>\n
Unlike most games that generate an .ini<\/code> file, Unity saves your graphics, audio, and resolution settings in the Windows Registry.<\/p>\nHow to edit the config via Registry:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Press Win + R<\/strong>, type
regedit<\/code>, and press Enter.<\/li>\n- Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Happy Volcano\\Modulus\\<\/code><\/li>\n- Here you will find hex values for your resolution, graphics quality, and audio.<\/li>\n
- Warning:<\/strong> Editing the registry is highly risky. Do not alter these hex values unless you are experienced, as changing the wrong data can break the game’s startup sequence and force a reinstall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Steam Deck \/ Linux Save Location<\/h2>\n
Playing Modulus: Factory Automation on the go? The Steam Deck uses Proton to emulate the Windows file structure. Your save files are buried inside the compatdata<\/code> folder, routing specifically to the emulated LocalLow directory.<\/p>\nThe Steam Deck file path is:
\n\/home\/deck\/.local\/share\/Steam\/steamapps\/compatdata\/2779120\/pfx\/drive_c\/users\/steamuser\/AppData\/LocalLow\/Happy Volcano\/Modulus\/<\/code><\/p>\nTip:<\/strong> The folder “2779120” is the specific Steam App ID assigned to Modulus: Factory Automation.<\/p>\nXbox Game Pass \/ Microsoft Store Save Location<\/h2>\n
If you are playing via PC Game Pass or the Windows Store, Microsoft encrypts the save data and stores it in a completely different, highly protected system folder.<\/p>\n
The Windows Store file path is:
\nC:\\Users\\[Your Username]\\AppData\\Local\\Packages\\HappyVolcano.Modulus_[RandomString]\\SystemAppData\\wgs\\<\/code><\/p>\nInside the wgs<\/code> (Windows Game Saves) folder, you will see folders with long alphanumeric strings. These are your encrypted factory save files. Backing these up manually is incredibly difficult because the file names are randomized and lack standard extensions.<\/p>\nHow to Share Factory Layouts & Blueprints<\/h2>\n
One of the best parts of automation games is sharing your perfectly optimized designs with the community.<\/p>\n
To share your Modulus factory with a friend:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Navigate to the
LocalLow\\Happy Volcano\\Modulus\\<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n- Locate your specific profile\/save slot folder.<\/li>\n
- Compress the folder into a
.zip<\/code> file and send it to your friend.<\/li>\n- Have them extract the
.zip<\/code> file into their own LocalLow\\Happy Volcano\\Modulus\\<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n- When they launch the game, your factory will appear in their “Load Game” menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Troubleshooting: Steam Cloud Sync Errors & Corrupted Saves<\/h2>\n
If your factory save file keeps disappearing or reverting to an older layout where your newly placed stampers and painters are missing, Steam Cloud might be conflicting with your local Unity files.<\/p>\n
How to fix sync issues:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Right-click Modulus: Factory Automation in your Steam Library and select Properties<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Under the General tab, toggle Steam Cloud to OFF<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Play the game, place a few blocks on your grid to force a manual local save, and then exit.<\/li>\n
- You can safely turn Steam Cloud back on. Steam will ask which file to keep; choose to Upload to Cloud<\/strong> (your newest local save).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/h2>\n\n
Q: Can I transfer my Modulus: Factory Automation save file to another PC?<\/h3>\n
A: Yes. For Steam\/Epic users, simply copy the entire contents of the Modulus folder located in your LocalLow directory onto a USB drive, and paste it into the exact same directory path on your new computer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Q: What happens if I accidentally delete my Unity registry config?<\/h3>\n
A: Don’t panic. If you delete the configuration data, the Unity engine will automatically generate brand new, default settings the next time you launch Modulus. All your graphics settings will just revert to their defaults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Q: Can I get banned for modifying my single-player save file?<\/h3>\n
A: No. Modifying your local save file (e.g., unlocking tech early via a hex editor or trainer) in a single-player, meditative experience like Modulus will not result in a ban.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Conclusion: Protect Your Progress<\/h2>\n
Locating your Modulus: Factory Automation save file is a vital skill for recovering from game-breaking layout mistakes, sharing your intricate blueprints with friends, or migrating your production lines to a Steam Deck.<\/p>\n
However, digging through hidden system directories is a chore. If you prefer a highly secure, “set it and forget it” solution, the XMODhub Save Manager automates your backups and eliminates the risk of human error.<\/p>\n
