Introduction

Enshrouded offers several configuration options at launch that you can customize to your liking. In this guide, we will review all currently available configuration parameters and explain them in detail.

Server Configuration Options

These are the currently available server configuration options provided by the game to customize your server—mainly server name, password, and some internal settings.

Tip

We do not recommend changing the port, IP, or directory settings, as these are automatically configured by the game server. Changes here can break your game server!

After making your changes, save the file in the correct location and restart your server. On the next start, your server will use the settings you specified.
