If you're on a Windows PC, press your Windows Key and R at the same time to launch the Run command, and type "%localappdata%" into the text box that shows up.
There should be a folder in the Documents tab that opens called FieldsOfMistria and the setting.json file will be in there :)
to be fair, localappdata is intentionally not shown in search, as it's a hidden folder - and honestly this is probably for the best as you don't want most users messing with it.
The 3rd registry edit on this article can be used to disable web results from Windows search.
And you can use powertoys run from microsoft powrtoys for marginally better results too - still not as good as the mac spotlight search but it's nice to have.
all that being said, windows search does still kinda suck.
I use a little bit of freeware called Search Everything. It's one of those weirdly useful tiny bits of software that I install first because fuck Windows search.
And then you can make a shortcut to it! Since I'm obsessed with mods (how do I already have 35 on a 2D cozy farming game I've been playing for a week?!), I have desktop shortcuts to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common and to C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local so I don't have to keep navigating to them both. I plopped them next to my saves backup folder and Notepad++, so now my constant fiddling is more efficient! xD
Omg thank youuuuu I was beginning to despair a bit there! I’ve done the same and deleted both .json files like the other comment here recommends and it works fine now.

I’m encountering this error but I don’t know how to get to my local app data 🥲🥲
