The Forest provides 5 save slots for dedicated servers. Each slot stores a separate world with its own buildings, progress, and player data.
Switching save slots does not delete existing saves. Your previous world will remain in its slot and can be accessed again by switching back.
Changing the Save Slot
- Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and Stop your server.

- Click the Settings tab and select The Forest Game Settings.

- Locate Save Slot and select from Slot 1 through Slot 5.

- Click Save and Start your server.
Save Slot Uses
Using multiple save slots allows you to:
- Maintain separate worlds for different playstyles
- Keep backup saves of your progress
- Run different game modes (survival, creative, etc.)
- Test settings without affecting your main world
Starting Fresh on a New Slot
If you want to start a new game on a different slot:
- Change the save slot to an empty slot
- Set the Init Type to New
- Save and start the server
See How to Start a New Game or Continue for more details.
Your server is now using the selected save slot.
