Save files are YAML-based and are backed-up with Steam cloud. They also work cross-platform on Windows and Linux. Save files typically take up around 1-2MB in space.

Save Locations

Windows

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\NewStars\NewStars\[steam_user_id]\Saves

Linux (Ubuntu)

~/.config/unity3d/NewStars/NewStars/[steam_user_id]/Saves

Identifiers

Some fields in save files implicitly contain string values, which represent an integer value behind the scenes (enums). In this example, 'Origin' and 'Ethics' use a specific ID or Identifier to represent a value. All identifiers use underscores where there are spaces (snake case). Saves should also load with numbers instead of IDs, although using listed identifiers is the recommended approach.
