Palworld XGP Save Extractor

C# console app to package a PalWorld save from Xbox Game Pass to another platform (e.g. steam)

Based off of https://github.com/Z1ni/XGP-save-extractor/ but re-wrote for Palworld only as I didn't have python installed on my gaming PC to modify the script.

This program was rushed to work and not in a good state, but I have released it to help others. I apologise if it doesn't work.

Prerequisites

• Install .NET Runtime 8.0.1 or .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.1 if using the famework dependant release

Instructions

1. Download and extract
2. Run PalWorldXGPSaveExtractor.exe
3. Follow promps
4. Once finished check "extracted" folder for the save archive
5. Go to %LocalAppData%\Pal\Saved\SaveGames
6. Extract and overwrite UserOption.sav
7. Extract all other folders into steam user save folder

The savegames folder structure should look similar to this:

SaveGames
 └  <steam_user_id_code> e.g 12345678901234567
   └ <world_savefile_guid> e.g.71787C374B88F0E4F81E9DBAD77B81E6
     ├ Players
     | └ 00000000000000000000000000000001.sav
     ├ Level.sav
     ├ LevelMeta.sav
     ├ LocalData.sav
     └ WorldOption.sav

Thanks

Thanks to @Z1ni for the python script this is based on & @snoozbuster for figuring out the container format at goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor#306.
