Fast explanation
Save and quit. Go to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Nolla_Games_Noita and make a copy of save00 folder. This is your save! Now every time you want to play from that point just paste it back in the folder.

alternatively just paste the following in the path bar: %userprofile%\appdata\locallow\Nolla_Games_Noita
Long explanation (with pictures)
Save & Quit


Press Win+R and type appdata


Next click on LocalLow


Then on Nolla_Games_Noita


Bam! you made it. Now just make a copy of save00 folder somewhere on your pc. If you die just delete the new folder in there and put your saved one in its place

%userprofile%\appdata\locallow\Nolla_Games_Noita
^alternatively put your pc username and paste it into the path bar
Extra info
You can alternatively save separate elements from the save00 folder
For example, you can just paste player.xml on the new world save to get to play on the fresh world as an old character and possibly farm a lot of perks (WARNING: your coordinates will be the same as in the old world and you may get stuck(it is possible to change coordinates by opening player.xml with notepad or other text editor and changing position.x and position.y components at the top of the file)).
player.xml and world_state.xml like to go together as world state keeps the orbs and some other stuff and player keeps most of the player stuff. However, if you just paste world_state some of the perks will remain. They will not show, but will work.

Here's the list of perks which are saved in world state: Gold is forever, Infinite spells, Friendly rats, Trick blood money, Trick kills greed.

Overall better to keep everything bundled, though sometimes changing the world folder is helpful as it gets heavy fast.

Check out my save editing guide if you want to dive deeper, tho that one does not have the best structure, proceed at ur own risk https://test-steamproxy.haloskins.io/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2689688828

nope, just choose local save if it asks you, but i do not think it does

do you need to turn off cloud save for this to work?

Don't mean to bump this but wanted a short shoutout since this guide will still really help beginning or unskilled Noitas that just cannot seem to find the luck they need to do a go(o)d run and might give up otherwise, and thus missing out on this masterpiece for the most part.

I personally only use this scumming to make sure i have a stable save since they can get a bit tricky when you have entered multiple parallels( i might have restored once since i forgot to pause :) ). Nevertheless it is clear Nolla is not trying to discourage this at least, but we all know a true Noita does not need this :)

Bruh have u gotten to like endgame? Idk bout u but for me after my 3-4th parallel world saves become like rlly unstable and have a tendency to corrupt or revert changes, or well idk havent played in a long time. Literally this is more of a safe measure, because after u got your heals and a shitton of health from the red guy u stop caring, game becomes ez, and going to the previous save becomes more of a burden and you are too lazy to do that.
