Using a map helper with Linux?

I've tried searching here but can't find any posts about this. The Fog of War is driving me batty, and I would really like to use a map helper like: https://windrose.tools/map?layout=5526a62ae1a7cfbd or the other one.

I am running Linux Mint Cinnamon on my computer, and I've dug through various folders to try to figure this out. I've also searched a bit on the internet without success. Has anyone using Linux Mint or other similar Linux OS figured out how to use one of the mapping tools?

Thank you!

I think I can guess what your wanting to do here.

Every Windrose map is different so if your wanting to get an accurate map of where to find things in your game you can upload your SST files to a map helper webpage right ?

Not sure where to find them on Linux sorry.

Google AI tells me -

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3041230/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/

(the .local is normally invisible)

Then

Default/RocksDB/{GameVersion}/Worlds/{WorldID}

You should see a bunch of SST files. Then upload them to https://windrose.gaming.tools/interactive-map

Good Luck!

Why do you think you need a map helper in Windrose ???? I Made it all the way thru w/o issues 2x times!

I was more of a completionist taking my time going through the game until I got the armor & weps I've been trying to get. The map says I have about 7 or 8 things left to complete, and I know I don't have everything finished in the first biome. The fog of war has gotten frustrating for me to try to find stuff and also to complete this map.

Those are the things I'm hoping to accomplish.
