Important paths

Notes: These assume you're using Steam, with default locations. For GoG, locate your hollow_knight.exe folder, and then follow from there. The Save Files location is the same for all versions (except for XBox Games) and additionally contains Global Settings as well as your ModLog.txt.
Note: Most mod installers have buttons to open these folders for you!

**Windows ** 🪟
- Save Files: %APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
- Game Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\
- Mod Files: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\
- Simple method to find Saves folder:
  1. Press [WindowsKey] + [R]
  2. Copy & Paste this: %AppData%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
  3. Press [Enter]
XBox Games 🎮
- Save Files: %AppData%\..\Local\Packages\
  - You'll need to look for a folder in here with Team Cherry in the name
- Game Files: C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content\
- Mod Files: C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\
- Some notes about this version:
  - This is the version for Gamepass and the Microsoft Store on PC; you cannot mod the XBox console version
  - Microsoft does some weird things with how it treats this install, and it syncs the Game Files (and Mods) to a hidden folder that you cannot interact with. This means that it may take a few minutes for any changes you make to take effect, and it also means that there can be bugs with installing/uninstalling mods.
Mac OS 🍎
- Save Files: ~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Cherry.Hollow Knight/
- Game Files: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Hollow Knight/hollow_knight.app/
- Mod Files: Right-click hollow_knight.app, and select "show contents", then navigate to: contents ᐅ resources ᐅ data ᐅ managed ᐅ mods
- ||Please double check that you followed correctly. The Unix versions of the game have multiple folders with the same/similar names, and it's easy to go to the wrong folder||
- Simple method to find Saves folder:
  1. Open Spotlight ([Command] + [Space]) and type terminal
  2. Press [Enter] to open the terminal
  3. Copy & Paste this into the terminal window: open ~/Library/Application\ Support/unity.Team\ Cherry.Hollow\ Knight/

I don't see modcommon in your mods list in the modlog

#

Who said that? While they may be similar in function, if a mod is designed to work with modcommon it's not going to just work with satchel afaik. I'd suggest installing that, trying again, re-uploading modlog. Unless someone else can decipher the erros in the current modlog (there's a LOT of them)

#

Well, all of the errors are gone, which is good. And also bad, if it's still not working, because it doesn't seem anything is malfunctioning

#

The mod should show up in lumafly now that you've installed it & you should be able to access the globalsettings file from there

#

otherwise if you want to manually navigate there, it's the same folder as your saves

Follow the instructions in the tag above. You cannot open the .bak directly

#

Ope, those are in the other save tag, here it is

Save Files

What do save files looks like?

Each Hollow Knight save file is a user#.dat where # is the save slot for the file
You can rename user3.dat to user1.dat to set it to your first save slot
You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer

Reverting Backups

Automatic backups are called user#.dat.bak#, where the first # is the save slot, and the second # is the backup number. You will usually have your last three backups
You restaore a backup by deleting the main file, and then removing the .bak# part of the backup version

Modded Saves

A modded save may also have a user#.modded.json (and similarly named backup). This file and the user#.dat are part of the save

Where are the files?

On windows, the default path for Save Files is:
- %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
- You should just copy and paste that path directly into the File Explorer path bar at the top.
For other operating systems (and Xbox Games), type ?tag saves into chat

I need a specific type of save file

Various save files can be found in the "Saves" section of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources
- If the file you download is a .rar or other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip

Editing save files

MoreSaves: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves
QoL: Opening a save with QOL installed will create an extra save file called user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor
DebugMod: While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod

(but also the .bak is not the global settings)

#

the globsettings should just be a json, which can be opened in any text editor like notepad

#

you save it.
