The Hidden FS22 Save Folder (It’s Not Where You Think!)
Many players search the wrong spot and miss their progress. New update paths change where files live.
**
The Hidden FS22 Save Folder (It’s Not Where You Think!) is the system User/AppData/Local folder. You find it using the in-game export button.
**
That location works because Windows hides AppData by default. Open view settings and show protected files. Studies indicate users often overlook this folder.
**
Find AppData to keep your farm safe. Always back up before updates.

Q: How do I open this folder fast?
A: Paste the path into File Explorer or use the save menu shortcut.
Q: Will moving files break my save?
A: Yes, use export/import tools instead of dragging files manually.
