Does my Valheim server auto-save?

Yes. Your Valheim server saves the world every 30 minutes by default, and when you stop or restart it from the control panel.

Change how often it saves

1. Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your Valheim server.
2. Open the Startup tab. Under World, set Save every (seconds): for example 900 for every 15 minutes (from 60 to 7200).
3. Click Save startup, then Restart at the top of the page.

Save now

If you're an admin on the server, press F5 in the game and type save. See How do I add myself as an admin to my Valheim server?.

If your world is lost or damaged

• Restore a backup from the Backups tab of the control panel. See How do I backup my server?.
• Valheim also keeps its own automatic backups of the world next to it in saves/worlds_local. How many it keeps and how often it makes them are under World on the Startup tab (Automatic backups kept, First backup after, Later backups every). If you need one of these restored, open a ticket.

To avoid damage, stop or restart the server from the control panel: it saves the world first.
