===Where they are===

The saves are stored as XML files on your computer. They're stored separately from your game, so you can safely reinstall or update the game without losing them. They're shared between different copies of the game (e.g. if you buy it from both GOG and Steam).
The game puts save files here:

Each save has a folder like <tt>JonSnow_123456789</tt>, with two main files inside it: <tt>JonSnow_123456789</tt> and <tt>SaveGameInfo</tt>. Both files are needed to load the save.

===Edit the save===

You can edit your save to fix some common issues or change your choices (see [http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/save-file-editing-guide-for-solving-some-common-issues.110762/ walkthrough]), but make sure to back up your save first. Be careful using save-editor tools, since they can break your save.
