Hearth syncs your Enshrouded world saves through Google Drive automatically. Every Craftsperson you've rescued, every base you've built — available to any player in your group, any time.
Up to 16 players can build and explore together — but the world save lives on one person's PC. When they step away, the whole world goes dark with them.
Your group has upgraded the Flame Altar, rescued Craftspeople, and built half a fortress together. Then the host goes on vacation. Every bit of that shared progress is inaccessible until one specific person decides to log in.
Enshrouded supports dedicated servers, but running one means a spare PC on 24/7 or paying a monthly hosting fee. For a group of four friends who play a few evenings a week, that's too much overhead for too little benefit.
Enshrouded's save system uses hex-coded folder names which already confuses players. Add Steam Cloud syncing into the mix and you have a recipe for version conflicts and corrupted world files. Hearth works entirely outside Steam Cloud.
Hearth handles the save sync automatically. You play, build, and explore. When the session ends, your progress is pushed to Drive and ready for whoever wants to host next.
Right-click Enshrouded in Steam → Properties → General → uncheck "Keep game saves in the Steam Cloud." Everyone in your group must do this to prevent version conflicts.
Open Hearth, find your Enshrouded world, and check the share box. Hearth pushes it to your shared Google Drive folder automatically. Your group sees it on their end within seconds.
When Hearth detects Enshrouded launching, it locks the shared world and pulls the latest version from Drive before you reach the main menu. You're always starting from the freshest save.
When Enshrouded closes, Hearth pushes your updated world to Drive. The next player pulls it automatically when they open Hearth. No manual steps, ever.
No server fees. No hex code confusion. No progress lost to version conflicts. Your shared Enshrouded world, available to anyone in your group at any time.
Every upgrade, every rescued Craftsperson, every unlocked recipe — all of it persists across sessions and is available to whoever hosts next.
When Enshrouded launches, Hearth locks the shared world. Nobody accidentally overwrites a live session or pushes a stale save.
Local backups every 25 minutes while you play. If the game crashes, you're never losing more than 25 minutes of progress.
Saves go to your own Google Drive. No third-party servers, no subscription, no account with us. You control your world files.
Every line of code is public on GitHub. Read exactly what Hearth does before you run it.
No trial. No premium tier. No monthly cost. Free because nobody should have to pay a server fee just to play with friends.
%APPDATA%\Enshrouded\savegames. World folders appear as hex codes like 38d857c4 rather than readable names, which makes manual transfers confusing. Hearth handles the correct folder automatically — you never need to touch it directly.Free download. Open source. Five minutes to set up. No account required on our end — just a Google Drive folder your group shares.
