Option 1: Importing the Entire Server

Importing the entire server allows you to retain map saves, configuration files, mods, plugins, and more. The downside is that it requires more storage space (2GB to 3GB).

First, create a server (you can use any name, as it will be overwritten later):

Once the creation is complete, right-click on the server instance and click on "Server Folder":

Open your original server folder (if you're using steamcmd, the path will be similar to steamapps\common\PalServer). Copy all the contents and paste them into the GUI's server folder, and replace everything.

At this point, all your original data will synchronize, including world settings, modules, and map saves.

Click on the bottom right corner "Server Management" -> "Server Settings" -> "Server Update" button to ensure your server is on the latest version.

Option 2: Importing Map Saves Only

This option allows you to import only map saves (map and player data), requiring adjustments to world settings and modules. The advantage is that it requires less storage space (10 KB to 30 MB).

First, create a server (you can edit detailed settings later):

Once the creation is complete, right-click on the server instance and click on "Save Data Folder":

Open your original server save data folder (if you're using steamcmd, the path will be similar to steamapps\common\PalServer\Pal\Saved). Drag the "SaveGames" folder from there into the GUI's save data folder.

Afterward, you can reconfigure the original world settings, modules, and others to start playing again.
