Enshrouded | How to configure your server / Server Settings Print

It's easy to configure your Pingperfect Enshrouded Server. Just follow the steps below.

1. Stop your server from the control panel before making any changes.
2. Open the 'Configuration Files' section from your control panel.
3. Select the 'Text Editor' option next to 'enshrouded_server.json'
4. Refer to the Example Configuration and Settings Guide below and change the respective settings where you need to do so in order to configure your server to your desires.
5. Click 'Save' and start your server.

IMPORTANT: This is a JSON file, so it must stay valid. Keep all quotation marks, commas and brackets in place, and do not add comments to the file. A missing comma or bracket will stop the server from starting.

IMPORTANT: Do not change the ip, queryPort, saveDirectory or logDirectory values. These are set up for you by Pingperfect and changing them may stop your server from working.

Settings Guide

General Server Settings

IMPORTANT: The values in the gameSettings section are only used when gameSettingsPreset is set to "Custom". With any other preset, the preset values are used and gameSettings is ignored.

Player Settings (gameSettings)

World Settings (gameSettings)

Enemy Settings (gameSettings)

Time Values

Time settings such as dayTimeDuration, nightTimeDuration and fromHungerToStarving are measured in nanoseconds. To convert minutes to nanoseconds, multiply the number of minutes by 60,000,000,000.

User Groups

User groups let you control what players can do on your server. Players choose which group to join by entering that group's password when they connect, so make sure each group has a different password and keep the Admin password private.

You can add or remove groups by copying or deleting a complete group block. Remember to keep a comma between each block, with no comma after the last one.

Banned Accounts

The bannedAccounts section lists accounts that are banned from your server. Players with the canKickBan permission can add to this list in game, and you can also edit it manually.

Tips

• Always stop your server before editing the config file, otherwise your changes may be overwritten.
• Keep a copy of your working config before making large changes.
• If your server will not start after an edit, check the file for a missing comma, quotation mark or bracket, or paste it into a JSON validator such as jsonlint.com.
• Use slotCount to match the number of players your server plan supports.
