Are you looking to increase the current amount of devotion it has, or the amount of devotion levels you have?Hey does anyone know how to add devotion to the main shrine?
After reading all this trying to edit Nintendo Switch saves I figured it out by myself. Turns out saves are just gzip files with a single unencrypted JSON file in them. Probably needs a very specific way of compression or it won't work.
Here's how to edit Switch saves:
Do not decompress/edit/compress manually or it won't work. Haven't figured out how to compress back properly manually.
- Download 7-zip
- Use JKSV to create a new dump for the game
- Transfer the "slot_x" file from the dump of the slot you want to edit to your PC
- Open the save using 7-zip
- Select the only entry in the file named "slot_x~" and hit F4 or choose edit from the file menu
- Notepad pops up (awfully unformatted)
- Make your edits
- Save Notepad
- 7-zip asks whether to update the archive, choose Yes
- Upload save back to Switch, replace "slot_x" in the dump dir and restore using JKSV
The 7-zip part was luck. I'm a software dev and many formats I deal with are secretly archives, so I just tried and 7-zip handles many formats pretty well. The app says says it's gzip but based on the file header, I'm not so sure. And I figured if I can't re-compress properly, I'll just let 7-zip update the archive.Holy shit lets go! I'm actually interested, how did you work this out? Because this is how all the console editions "encrypt" their saves. (Sony, Nintendo [and I assume Xbox])
Appreciate the insight. With one line change I was able to port my PC save to switch, and JEEZ is it laggy on switch. Glad I didn't purchase it here.The 7-zip part was luck.

{"VersionNumber":1,"AllowSaving":true, ...
Yes, PS4 and I assume Xbox compresses their saves the same way.do it work for ps4?
I can't believe it's this easy to decrypt them wtf LOL that's hilariousAfter reading all this trying to edit Nintendo Switch saves I figured it out by myself.

The uncompressed JSON did not work and resulted in an endless loading screen for me.

EDIT: I believe it's possible to set a better editor in the 7-zip options (e.g. N++) to edit the file.
I tried to follow your steps to transfert my switch save to play on PC but I can't get it to work. What should I change inside the file to make it compatible ? Pc saves are shown as Json but switch version have no extension. When I add .json it doesn't work.After reading all this trying to edit Nintendo Switch saves I figured it out by myself.

Follow the same steps until step 5. Instead of opening the file inside the zip file, drag the file inside to your desktop/location of your choosing, and add .json to the end of it so it should look like slot_x.json and it should work for you then.I tried to follow your steps to transfert my switch save to play on PC but I can't get it to work.

Can you help me ?
nope, most of mine are way over that.I have a quick question about the website; I tried to decompile my save file, but it didn't automatically download. is there a limit on size? I know my save is over 50kb
Nevermind it decompiled, but I'm not sure how I did it lol thanks anywaynope, most of mine are way over that.
Are you sure it's already not decrypted?
Thanks a lot!! Successfully transfered my save from the switch to the steam deck with this tutorial. Runs a lot smootherFollow the same steps until step 5.
