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.

==Save files==
===Where they are===
The game puts save files here:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Platform
! Path
|-
| Windows
| <tt>%appdata%\StardewValley\Saves</tt><br /><small>(Paste "<tt>%appdata%</tt>" into the address bar, Windows knows where it is.)</small>
|-
| Linux
| <tt>~/.config/StardewValley/Saves</tt><br /><small>(The folder is hidden by default. From Files, click ''Go » Enter Location'' and enter "~/.config".)</small>
|-
| Mac
| <tt>~/.config/StardewValley/Saves</tt><br /><small>(The folder is hidden by default. From Finder, click ''Go » Go to Folder'' and enter "~/.config".)</small>
|}
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.
To share or backup your save, zip the entire <tt>JonSnow_123456789</tt> folder.
===Undo the last save===
If something went wrong, you can undo the last save.
# [[#Where they are|Find your save files]].<br /><small>You should see two files with an <tt>_old</tt> suffix in the name; if not, ask for help instead!</small>
# Delete <tt>SaveGameInfo</tt> and the file that looks like <tt>YourName_123456789</tt>.
# Remove the <tt>_old</tt> suffix from <tt>SaveGameInfo_old</tt> and the file that looks like <tt>YourName_123456789_old</tt>.
===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.
