Editing save games

[BetrunkenerSeamus]

Has anyone found a way to encrypt the .sav file?

It's easy to unzip the file (use WinRar or 7zip) and the file itself is like any other Paradox save game file but you can't replace the save game in the .sav file with your modified one. It seems that the .sav file is somehow encrypted. Is this intended, @Paradox? I'm more of a editing aficionado than using the console (although it seems that the console commands for Stellaris are pretty fleshed out!)

No one?

I'd like to know this too, so I can fix things like an embassy gone AWOL.

Didn't work for me, I tried doing as it said and the save wouldn't show up for loading. I even tried extracting the save file, editing it and then dragging and dropping it back in into the archive through 7z manager, but when I loaded the edited save I just got a completely blank map. I got the same resault even when undid all the changes, saved and then dropped in back in again, same result: a blank map. Can anyone help me out here?

Are you making sure to do the no timestamp parameter thing? That's crucial -- without that, I was getting the same blank map error.

timestamp parameter?

timestamp parameter?

When you create the .zip archive in 7-zip, there's a little box for "parameters" in the bottom left. Put tc=off in that box, otherwise the .sav file can't be read by Stellaris.

I have the problem too. I made sure every setting is right and it still messed up.

Closed for necro. As well as the fact that this is in the wrong area.

@Siuwa I recommend you make a new post in the modding sub forum or use the question thread in the modding sub forum.

Thanks,
