Explore Different Stages with Shared Saves!

Howdy Builders,

We want to share a few save files to help you dive into the later stages of the game! These saves include a few files around the final main storyline and various side quests. Keep in mind they’re not perfect – some workshops, resources, and weapons might not be fully complete.

[h3]Before you jump in, here are a couple of things to keep in mind:[/h3]
Spoilers: Some of these saves are from the late game and contain major spoilers, including lots of completed main quests and NPC side quests. You might accidentally spoil key parts of the story.

Reduced Experience: Skipping parts of the game might reduce the overall challenge and satisfaction, and you could miss out on important characters and storylines.

[h3]How to Access and Use the Save Files:[/h3]
-Download the save files from [Google Drive].
-Place the save files in the appropriate folder for your platform:
  • Steam: \steam\userdata[Steam User ID]\1084600\remote
  • Epic: C:\Users[Username]\AppData\LocalLow\Pathea Games\My Time at Sandrock\Epic\UID
  • Consoles: Unfortunately, due to platform restrictions, shared save files won’t work.
-Restart Steam or Epic.
-Launch the game and load the new save to start your new adventure!

We also love seeing Builders help each other out! If you’d like to share your own save files with the community, send them to us at [email protected], and we’ll add them to the collection.

Happy Building!
