Introduction

Sunkenland servers require a quick initial setup to function correctly. This guide will walk you through the necessary steps to configure your Sunkenland game server.

Preparation

Before you begin, start Sunkenland and save a world. Make sure to save the world before proceeding.

To access your server files later, you will also need an FTP client such as WinSCP or FileZilla, both of which are open-source and free.

Accessing Your Local Data

The first step is to access your Sunkenland savegame data.

Simply press CTRL+R on your keyboard and enter the following in the Windows Run dialog:

Code

%localappdata%low\Vector3 Studio\Sunkenland\

Here you will find a folder named Worlds containing all your local savegame files. Select the world you want to host on the server, or if new, the world you created before starting this guide.

Tip

Don’t see anything here? Please start Sunkenland and create a world so the folder is generated.

Uploading the Savegame

Next, connect to your game server via FTP and upload the savegame you selected in the previous step.

Connect to your server using an FTP client with the credentials found in your game server’s web interface under the Files tab (or FTP/SFTP access). Feel free to use our FTP Access Guide for additional help.

Once connected, navigate to the Sunkenland folder, open the "AppData" folder, then the "Worlds" folder. Upload the savegame from the previous step here.

The folder structure should now look like this, where Marvin's World~cef76ff5-447a-48df-b3a8-74b9ea5b7a86 is your savegame.

Important

Copy the GUID at the end of the world name now. You will need this in the next step to get your server running. The GUID looks like this:

Code

ZAP-Hosting's World~cef76ff5-447a-48df-b3a8-74b9ea5b7a86 # Full world name
cef76ff5-447a-48df-b3a8-74b9ea5b7a86 # The GUID you need

Activating the Server

Finally, open the Configuration tab of your game server.

Look for the option World GUID. Paste the GUID you copied in the previous step into this field.

Be sure to click the green Save button at the bottom of the page. Now try to start your server – it should boot up correctly.

You have successfully set up your Sunkenland game server.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A Sunkenland server requires a World GUID from a locally created savegame – without this initial setup, the server cannot start properly.

They are located under %localappdata%low\Vector3 Studio\Sunkenland\ in the Worlds folder, which contains all your locally created worlds.

It’s at the end of the world name after the tilde (~). For example, in “ZAP-Hosting's World~cef76ff5-447a-48df-b3a8-74b9ea5b7a86”, the GUID is cef76ff5-447a-48df-b3a8-74b9ea5b7a86.
