Idle Research – Save game – location, backup, installation

Where can I find the Idle Research game save, in what directory to backup or install another saved game downloaded from the internet?

Save Game location

To install a new save game or make a backup copy of the current save game you need to get to the hidden folder, there are three ways (Windows):

  • Enter the path in the folder address bar: C:/Users/Username/AppData/LocalLow/CryptoGrounds/Idle Research/saves/ (replace “username” with the name of the account you are currently using)
  • Press “Win + R”, then enter %appdata%, go back to the AppData folder and then open: LocalLow -> CryptoGrounds -> Idle Research -> saves
  • In the system search engine, type %appdata%, go back to the AppData folder and open: LocalLow -> CryptoGrounds -> Idle Research -> saves

MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/CryptoGrounds/Idle Research/saves/
Linus: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME//unity3d/CryptoGrounds/Idle Research/saves/
