Abiotic Factor World Save Schema

Save class: /Game/Blueprints/Saves/Abiotic_WorldSave.Abiotic_WorldSave_C (also handled by AbioticWorldSave for Abiotic_WorldMetadataSave_C).

The WorldSave_<Region>.sav files contain one save per game world region. Most regions are small (e.g. WorldSave_H_Cabin.sav ~ 18 KB JSON) and only contain a handful of doors. The main region (WorldSave_Facility.sav) is large (~108 MB JSON, ~13 MB binary) and contains the full set of deployed objects, containers, dropped items, and world flags.

Top-level properties (observed in WorldSave_Facility.sav)

Property	Type	Sample count	Notes
SimpleDoorMap	Map<Str, Struct>	4 / 604	Doors keyed by actor path. Has DoorState, Yaw, OneWayDoor_HasBeenUnlocked, NoReset.
WorldFlags	Array<Name>	109	List of triggered string flags (e.g. Office_NewGameStarted, Residence_TramLeft). Plain name strings, no metadata.
DeployedObjectMap	Map<Str, Struct>	604	Primary container source. Keyed by GUID, value is SaveData_Deployable_Struct. Most non-empty containers live here.
ResourceNodeMap	Map<Str, Struct>	169	Resource nodes (ore veins, plants, etc.).
SecurityDoorMap	Map<Str, Struct>	11	Security doors.
ElevatorMap	Map<Str, Struct>	3
ButtonMap	Map<Str, Struct>	3
NarrativeNPCMap	Map<Str, Struct>	2
PowerSocketMap	Map<Str, Struct>	223	Power sockets / wiring state.
TimeOfDay	Struct	6 keys	Day/time state.
TriggerMap	Map<Str, Struct>	7
NPCSpawnMap	Map<Str, Struct>	2
PortalMap	Map<Str, Struct>	8
LevelGUID	Str	–
VehicleMap	Map<Str, Struct>	10
TramMap	Map<Str, Struct>	10
PetNPC	Map<Str, Struct>	5
DroppedItemMap	Map<Str, Struct>	1 252	Items dropped on the ground. Each entry has location/rotation + a slot-shaped ChangeableData / ItemDataTable (single item).
CustomInventoryMap	Map<Str, Struct>	2	Custom (named) inventories - SaveData_Inventories_Struct keyed by string (e.g. "Boxy").
SaveIdentifier	Str	–

Deployable struct (SaveData_Deployable_Struct)

Every value in DeployedObjectMap is a struct with the following hash-suffixed fields:

Class_77_*                SoftObjectProperty   blueprint path (Deployed_*_C)
ActorPath_164_*           StructProperty       SoftObjectPath to the actor
ChangableData_37_*        StructProperty       single-item Abiotic_InventoryChangeableDataStruct
DeployableDestroyed_56_*  BoolProperty
BrokeWhenPackaged_63_*    BoolProperty
HasBeenPackaged_59_*      BoolProperty
Transform_50_*            StructProperty       Transform (location/rotation/scale)
DeployedByPlayer_71_*     BoolProperty
ConstructionMode_82_*     ByteProperty (enum)
ConstructionLevel_85_*    ByteProperty (enum)
ContainerInventories_110_*  ArrayProperty<SaveData_Inventories_Struct>
ActiveSeats_135_*         ArrayProperty
ItemProxies_149_*         ArrayProperty
CustomTextDisplay_152_*   StrProperty
FoundByPlayer_154_*       BoolProperty
Supports_158_*            ArrayProperty
NoResetVignette_161_*     BoolProperty
CustomSpawnedTime_169_*   ...

The interesting field for editing is ContainerInventories_* - an ArrayProperty of SaveData_Inventories_Struct. 197 of 604 deployables in the Facility save have a non-empty inventory.

SaveData_Inventories_Struct

Each entry of ContainerInventories_ (and of CustomInventoryMap) is a struct with one field:

InventoryContent_3_*  ArrayProperty<Abiotic_InventoryItemSlotStruct>

Abiotic_InventoryItemSlotStruct is the same struct used by player inventories - it has ItemDataTable_* (a DataTableRowHandle with RowName) and ChangeableData_* (CurrentStack_*, CurrentItemDurability_*, etc.). We can therefore reuse InventoryItemSlot and the existing read/write helpers.

What we model in the Core layer

The first pass models containers (the obvious editable category):

• WorldSaveData - top-level wrapper around SaveGame + typed container list.
• WorldContainer - one container (a deployable with a non-empty ContainerInventories_*, or an entry of CustomInventoryMap) with:
  • Id - the map key (GUID for deployables, name for custom inventories).
  • Source - Deployed vs Custom.
  • ClassName - blueprint asset name (e.g. Deployed_StorageCrate_Makeshift_T2_C) for deployables; null for custom inventories.
  • Inventories - list of WorldInventory, each holding IReadOnlyList<InventoryItemSlot>. A deployable can in theory have multiple inventories; the Facility data has one each in practice.

Future work (not in this pass):

• SimpleDoorMap / SecurityDoorMap - door state toggles.
• WorldFlags - add/remove triggered flags.
• DroppedItemMap - single-item slots scattered in the world.
• ResourceNodeMap, TimeOfDay, PowerSocketMap, NPCs, vehicles, trams.
• DayDiscovered (IntProperty) - day the level was first entered; present on every region save except Facility itself (found by the server-save deep dive, see research-server-saves.md). Read-only display candidate for a world-map view.
• CorpseMap (MapProperty) - Map<Str actorPath, {ActorPath (SoftObjectPath), IsGibbed (Bool), IsLooted (Bool)}>; NPC corpses, e.g. ...PersistentLevel.CharacterCorpse_OrderSniper_C_1. Harmless to leave unmodeled (round-trips untouched). Also from the server-save deep dive.
