I was playing Rimworld while visiting my parents over the holidays on their mac but I couldn't find the save game files to bring home with me.


  • The file ReadMe_SaveFiles.txt in the root of the package says they should be in a folder in Users/[username]/Library/Caches/... but couldn't find a rimworld-related folder there.
  • Google led me to a post on reddit saying that it was a unity bug and that they should be in .../Library/Application Support/...  There was a folder there (named something like unity.ludeon.rimworld) but it was empty.
  • The "Open save data folder" button in the settings screen did nothing (note: I had a bunch of mods installed at the time, so ignore this point if no one can reproduce).

Unfortunately, I am home now and cannot reproduce any of these problems on my Windows computer (even with the same mods installed) and my parents aren't computer-literate enough for me to get them to hunt for the files.  As for my colony, I can only presume that there has been a catastrophic failure of the underground geothermal generator and they have all been boiled alive in their sleep without having a chance to call for help :).

For windows its  C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld\Saves

What you could try is using finder to search for RimWorld or Ludeon Studios
