Save file location (Windows): %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\FieldsOfMistria\saves
- Windows
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\FieldsOfMistria\saves- Steam Deck / Linux (Proton)

Here is exactly where Fields of Mistria stores your farm save on PC and Steam Deck, how to open the folder, and how to back it up before you mod or move machines — plus the auto-save gotcha that catches players.
Save file locations
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\FieldsOfMistria\saves
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\FieldsOfMistria\saves . This is AppData\Local (not Roaming) — a common mix-up. Each farm/character has its own save inside.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2142790/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/FieldsOfMistria/saves
Under Proton the Windows path is emulated inside the compatdata prefix for app id 2142790.
Cloud saves
Fields of Mistria supports Steam Cloud, so saves sync across machines on the same account. Because the game auto-saves when the PC sleeps and has no manual save, a Steam Cloud conflict can quietly overwrite a newer local farm — if Steam asks which save to keep, pick the one with the later timestamp.
Fields of Mistria saves to AppData\Local (not Roaming), and early-access updates have reset saves — so back up before every patch:
robocopy "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\FieldsOfMistria\saves" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Mistria-Save-Backup" /E /COPY:DAT /R:1 /W:1
This mirrors your whole saves folder to the Desktop untouched. Because it's AppData\Local, cloud tools that only sync Roaming won't have a copy — this backup is your only rollback.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\FieldsOfMistria\saves and press Enter (AppData is hidden, so pasting the full path is easiest).
- Copy the whole saves folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.
Save problems & fixes
Fields of Mistria save won’t load or looks corrupted
Because saves auto-write on sleep, a crash mid-save can corrupt the current day. Check AppData\Local\FieldsOfMistria\saves for an older or backup copy and restore it. On Steam, also verify integrity: right-click the game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files, then let Steam Cloud restore the last good sync.
Progress reset after closing the game
This usually means the day’s auto-save did not complete. Always let your character finish sleeping and reach the next morning before quitting, and confirm Steam Cloud finished syncing (green check in the library) before closing.
FAQ
Where is the Fields of Mistria save file on PC?
At %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\FieldsOfMistria\saves (i.e. C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\FieldsOfMistria\saves). Press Win+R and paste that path. Note it is AppData\Local, not Roaming.
How do I back up my Fields of Mistria farm?
Close the game first (it auto-saves on sleep, so backing up while running can catch a half-written file), then copy the entire FieldsOfMistria\saves folder to another location. To restore, paste it back.
Does Fields of Mistria have a manual save?
No — the game auto-saves when your character sleeps at the end of the in-game day. There is no manual save button, so the safest backup point is right after sleeping, with the game closed.
Can I move a Fields of Mistria save to a new PC?
Yes. Copy the saves folder from AppData\Local\FieldsOfMistria on the old PC to the same location on the new one, or let Steam Cloud sync it. If both exist, keep the newer timestamp to avoid losing days of progress.
