Editing Saves (Stellaris)

I opened the save 7 zip, edited it via Notepad ++, zipped back these 2 files with 7 zip, but the game does not see the saves, and if I drop the stupidly edited file and replace it into the archive being viewed (without first unzipping it), then when loading the save I get an empty world, without planets or at least something thread, who edited the saves, share your experience pliz!

The parameter must be added when archiving:

SpoilerThe savegames are zipped. In order to edit them, you'll need to extract them. There are two text files: gamestate and meta. meta includes the information that is shown on the load game screen. gamestate is the actual save game. Since the line endings are in unix style (LF) you'll need a more sophisticated editor than notepad like notepad ++.

After you saved your changes you have to compress the two files it into a zip again. I recommend 7zip. The settings are:

Name of the archive: something.sav

Archive type: zip

Algorithm: Deflate

And to make sure that 7zip doesn't include the ntfs timestamps:

tc = off as a parameter

This is important because otherwise the game will fail to open the archive.

Then you can just place the new archive in the same folder as the original and load your edited save in the game.
