# Transfer a Co-Op (local) save to Oxygenserv

{% hint style="info" %}
This guide is for migrating a save **Co-Op (local)** to a server **Palworld** at **Oxygenserv**.
{% endhint %}

### Objective

* Copy the local save to the server.
* Generate a “new” player on the server side.
* Migrate the player's data (inventory, progression).

{% hint style="danger" %}
Shut down the server before modifying files.

Run the server at least once to generate the directory structure, then turn it off.
{% endhint %}

### Step-by-step guide

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open the local save folder**

In Palworld, select your save.

Click the **folder** icon at the bottom left.

The save folder opens.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Upload the save to the server (map + world)**

In the FTP, go to:

`Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/`

This is a folder with **32 characters** (random).

Copy your local save files into it.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not copy `WorldOption.sav`.

Otherwise your server settings may be ignored.

Do not copy the `backups`folder. It is useless here.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Start the server and create a “new” character**

Start the server.

Connect in-game and create a new character (temporary).

{% hint style="success" %}
At this point, the map should be correct.

We will now migrate the players.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Download the updated server files**

Turn off the server.

In the FTP, go back to:

`Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/`

Download this folder to your PC.

Put it in a **new folder** (to avoid mixing).

<figure><img src="/files/04c1ab966aa0f6e7f4f934e9a3a4cfc5c03adc43" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="success" %}
In `players`, you will see a new file `.sav`.

This is the “temporary” character created on the server.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Convert / migrate the player's data**

Download the tool **palworld-host-save-fix** :

<https://github.com/JannikBirn/palworld-host-save-fix/releases/download/v.0.1.2/palworld-host-save-fix.exe>

{% hint style="info" %}
Windows Defender / an antivirus may block it.

Verify the source and decide according to your security policy.
{% endhint %}

Open the application.

Click **Browse**.

Select the file `Level.sav` from the folder downloaded in the previous step.

<figure><img src="/files/db3f336f50b9bdff67cc87b6f918837269895ae3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

On the next screen:

* List 1: select the old character (local).
* List 2: select the “temporary” character (server, level 0).

<figure><img src="/files/dc9f3e113b4d6c9a1e6552bcd2c7995a0be2b937" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Click **Migrate**.

Confirm the confirmation.

<figure><img src="/files/6ffdda40ab0b4db825ea90f019a8eccf908dae84" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Re-upload the converted files to the server**

In the FTP, send the modified files back to:

`Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/`

<figure><img src="/files/71dd9eefbb9927bd686945da484af6b66be4f1b1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Restart the server.

Reconnect. You should find your progression.

{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Common issues

#### The server starts on a new map

* You are not in the correct folder `.../SaveGames/0/<32-characters>/`.
* The server was not stopped during the upload.
* Not all files were copied.

#### My player progression disappeared

* You did not do the player migration step.
* You migrated the wrong pair “old player” → “temporary player”.

#### The tool is blocked by Windows / antivirus

* Download only from the indicated GitHub page.
* Scan the file if needed.
* If you do not want to run it, use another migration method.

### FAQ

#### Do I have to migrate all players?

Yes, each player has a `.sav` dedicated file.

#### Why not copy `WorldOption.sav` ?

This file can overwrite your server settings.

Keep the dashboard configuration.
