Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\\281990\remote\save games Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata//281990/remote/save games Linux: ~/.local/share/Steam/userdata//281990/remote/save games/ Prerequisites A backup is also kept locally on your computer, at: The save will be always compressed and uploaded to the Steam servers.

Linux: ~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/save games/ Steam Cloud files Local Ironman saves are always uncompressed and are stored in: There are two options for save locations for Ironman mode, local and Steam Cloud. Save files can be stored in the Steam cloud or on a local drive, but are encrypted and cannot be edited.This includes closing the game with Alt+ F4. The game saves automatically when exiting to main menu or desktop.The game saves automatically whenever almost any decision is taken (such as declaring war).Only a single save will be stored it is thus impossible to load an earlier save if something goes wrong (unfortunately, this includes save game corruption).Any mod that changes it (broadly, this means one that affects gameplay) will cause ironman mode to be disabled.
