Whether you lost your progress after a PC crash, want to skip the early game grind, or simply want to dominate the ocean as a max-level Leviathan from the start, mastering the save file is your golden ticket.
Some antivirus software protects the AppData\Local folder aggressively. If your edits don't "stick," temporarily disable real-time protection, edit the file, save it, then re-enable protection. Part 6: The Ethical Grind – Are Save Files Cheating? Let's address the elephant in the ocean.
Feed and Grow Fish updates frequently (adding the Lionfish, the Giant Squid, etc.). A save file from version 1.2 might crash version 1.5. If your game crashes on load, your save file is too old. You need to start a fresh save or edit manually.
