This guide takes you through your server’s product management from start to finish—and shows you how much time the built-in automation and AI assistance can save you in your day-to-day administration.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. If live queries are supported, the Overview displays the current player count, map, and ping right in the dashboard, without any external tools.
No. ZapX automatically detects unexpected crashes in the background and updates your Overview for you.
You can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, view your credentials at a glance, access them directly in phpMyAdmin, and export the database structure. You can mark one database as primary. To delete one, you’ll need to enter its name again for security.
Use the Savegames tab, which has a dedicated file manager limited to your savegame folder.

The console detects this automatically and displays a clear warning with a recommended action.
With a ZapX Pass, you can restore backups with one click under Backups. You’ll see live progress, and the server is only stopped briefly. We also back up your server automatically every day.
It shows incoming traffic live in a graph and lists past attacks with their time, duration, and peak bandwidth. ZapX automatically learns which ports and services belong to your server and filters traffic accordingly. If you have your own IP address, you can customize the protection settings.

Controls
Overview
The Overview is your cockpit: server status, IP:port with one-click copying, and live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. Each resource tile has a direct "Upgrade" button in case you run low on resources. If your game supports live queries, you can even see the current player count, map, and ping right in the dashboard, without any external tools.
Tip
If your server crashes unexpectedly, ZapX detects it automatically in the background and updates your Overview for you—you don’t need to reload the page manually to see the actual status.
Configuration
Manually searching through configuration files is a thing of the past: under Configuration, AI automatically scans your server files, identifies the relevant settings, and turns them into easy-to-understand form fields grouped by topic—with an explanation in German for each parameter. Critical values are specially marked with a "Caution" notice so you don’t accidentally bring your server to a halt. If you prefer the classic approach, you can open the raw text view of the config file—both options are available in the same view.
After you save, ZapX offers to restart the server right away so your changes take effect immediately.
ZapX AI Agent
With the ZapX Pass, you have the ZapX AI Agent at your side—your personal on-demand server admin. In chat, it can read and analyze your console log, browse and edit files, manage backups, show or reset your FTP credentials, and suggest updates. Any action that changes something on your server is presented to you for confirmation first—the AI Agent never acts on its own, so you always stay in full control.
Manage Content
Files
The file manager under Files works like an FTP program right in your browser—upload files with drag and drop, edit them online, rename them, or delete them. You’ll find your SFTP credentials for external programs like FileZilla or WinSCP in the same tab, including one-click password rotation if you want to update them.
Databases
Under Databases, you can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, view your credentials at a glance, open them directly in phpMyAdmin, or export the database structure with one click. You can mark one database as primary—to delete a database, you’ll need to enter its name again for security.
Savegames
Under Savegames, you have a dedicated file manager limited to your savegame folder. You only see what you need, without having to navigate through the entire server file tree.
Operations and Maintenance
Console
The Console shows your server’s live output in a real terminal. The special feature: ZapX uses AI to automatically generate a command palette tailored to your game, organized into categories such as administration, gameplay, or chat—with autocomplete as you type. If your server starts struggling because it’s running low on memory, the console detects this automatically and displays a clear warning with a recommended action.
Backups
We back up your server automatically every day, so you always have a recent backup without having to remember to create one yourself. With the ZapX Pass, you get full control under Backups: create, restore, and download backups with a click. Each backup contains a complete version snapshot (game version, configuration), so you can return to exactly that state whenever needed. Restoring a backup includes a live progress indicator, and the server is only stopped briefly. With ZapX Pass Pro, your backups can even run automatically on your own schedule.
Tip
With ZapX Pass Plus, you get 1, with Pro 3, and with Max 5 personal backup slots per server. See all the benefits on the ZapX Pass page. There’s also an account-wide storage limit for all backups of your services combined, daily backups included: Plus 250 GB, Pro 500 GB, and Max 1,000 GB. If needed, you can add more backup storage on the ZapX Pass page.
Schedules
Under Schedules, you can automate recurring tasks: start, stop, or restart the server, create a backup (with ZapX Pass Pro or higher), or run a custom command. Choose from handy presets such as "Every hour" or "Every day at 04:00," or create your own schedule using a custom cron expression.
Statistics
Under Statistics, you can monitor your server’s resource usage. Choose a time period from 1 hour to 30 days and view CPU, RAM, disk, network traffic, and your player count compared with your purchased slots.
Activity
Activity keeps a complete log of what happens on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes, backups, and console commands. You can always see when something was changed and what it was.
DDoS Manager
The DDoS Manager displays incoming traffic live in a graph and lists past attacks with their time, duration, and peak bandwidth. ZapX automatically learns which ports and services belong to your server and filters traffic accordingly. If you have your own IP address, you can even customize the protection settings.
Conclusion
You now know all the sections of your RimWorld Together server management in ZapX—from AI-powered configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
