Windrose is out now in early access and is already an impressive survival crafting pirate adventure in its current state. With a planned early access period of around two years, thereโs a lot more coming, and if you want to secure your local progress data, here is the save file location.ย
Windrose Save File Location

Your character and world data are individually stored in dedicated folders within major versions. Iโd highly advise against moving around data for individual characters since there are a lot of subfolders set up to keep things organised for the developers. Instead, if you want to move your progress or secure it for whatever reason, I recommend backing up the entire R5 folder.ย

This post is a great resource for anyone diving into Windrose! It’s exciting to see such a unique pirate adventure in early access. Looking forward to exploring the game more!
