10 November 20262 min read0 Views0 helpful

Introduction

With the right configuration, you can make your Deadside game server exactly what you want: PvP or PvE, custom raid times, loot amounts, squad sizes, and restart schedules. You can change most Deadside settings directly in the game through the Server Admin Panel. This guide shows you what you’ll find there.

Requirements

To use the Admin Panel, you must be listed as a Lead Admin on your server. To do this, enter your EOS ID in your server settings and restart the server. You can find your EOS ID in the top-right corner of Deadside’s main menu. For step-by-step instructions, see Connect to the server.

Open the Server Admin Panel

Join your server and press F10 on PC. The Admin Panel is divided into several sections:

Section	What it’s for
Server	Your server’s basic settings, such as the server password
Restart/wipe	Your server’s restart schedule
Players	View, search, and ban players online, and make players admins
Items	Customize the starter kit for new players
Messages	Send messages to players
Log	Record of events on your server
Gameplay	Gameplay settings such as activity, hardcore options, events, and vehicles
Tools	Other tools for admins

Important settings

According to tinyBuild, you can configure, among other things, the following in the Admin Panel:

Combat mode: PvP, PvP without raids, PvE, or PvP with scheduled raid times
Camera: first or third person
Raid schedule: when bases can be attacked
Loot: the probability of loot appearing
Squads: maximum squad size
Reserved admin slots: slots reserved for admins
Beds and sleeping bags: number of beds per player and sleeping bag rules
Vehicles: maximum number and spawning of vehicles
Playtime: time in the game world
Activity: various gameplay settings from 0% to 200%
Hardcore mode: additional options for a more challenging experience
Events: events in the game world

Info

A new server password applies to new connections. Players already on your server will remain connected.

Schedule restarts

In the Restart/wipe section, you can set one or more restart times. According to tinyBuild, a Deadside server must restart at least once every 24 hours. Times are based on your server’s time zone, and changes take effect immediately.

Manage players and admins

In the Players section, you can see everyone online, search by name, and view a player’s EOS ID.
There, you can make players admins or revoke their permissions. You can have up to 50 admins and moderators.
You can ban players directly from the list. You can also ban players by EOS ID in the ban list—for example, if a player is offline or has changed their name. The ban list can hold up to 500 entries.

Important

According to tinyBuild, any form of monetization of your Deadside server is prohibited without prior written permission from tinyBuild. This also applies to players who receive a starter kit or other in-game items.

Conclusion

Your Deadside server is now configured just the way you want it. If something isn’t working as expected, see our guide to Common issues. If you have any other questions, our support team is available every day! 🙂
