When I tried to copy the game save and the height map file from my PC, I can't find the game save directory on my mac like "C:/User/My document/Simutrans" on the PC.

I also tried to save the game and took a screenshot in the game but I still can't search the game save file and the screenshot, so I want to know the game save directory on the Mac, thank you!  :)

I don't use Mac but Linux... But there is explanation to create these sub-repositories in simutrans repository root (I think it will be running with Mac like another OS) :
1) Open global parameters file :
<main installed repository>/simutrans/config/simuconf.tab
2) Then uncomment "singleuser_install" line and write 1


...
#################################program stuff##################################
#
# This simuconf.tab will be read first => we set meaningful defaults here.
#
# load/save the files in the users or the program directory directory? (default: 0 = user directory)
# ATTENTION!
# will be only used if this file is located in the program directory at config/simuconf.tab!
singleuser_install = 1
#
...


3) Save the file.

4) Run again simutrans and now repositories named "map","screenshots", "save", "addons" are in your main repository of Simutrans (<main installed repository>/simutrans/)

Enjoy

But any existing stuff will now be even more lost.

You can always use Finder. Search for Simutrans and look for folders with this name. One must be it.

In the Finder, choose Go->Go to Folder ... (Shift-command G), and enter "~/Library/Simutrans/save".

Searching with Spotlight may not find it, since by default it doesn't look in the Library folder.
