The game '''saves''' progress when the [[Day Cycle|in-game day]] ends, ''i.e.'', when the farmer goes to bed, collapses from exhaustion, or collapses at 2am. All progress during a day is lost if the player quits the game without ending the day. In [[multiplayer]], the game saves after all players click through the prompts at end of day and wake up in the morning.

Save files are tagged with the version of the game that last saved the file (''e.g.,'' <code><gameVersion>1.5.4</gameVersion></code>). An older version of the game is not able to load a newer save file, but a <i>newer</i> version can load an older save. Once a newer version saves over an older save file (''e.g.,'' when you save for the first time after the game itself was updated to a new version), the save file will be tagged with the newer version number.
