Example result
Example: the generated ServerSettings.ini
You set the options using a form or AI Easy Mode, and the generator creates the finished ServerSettings.ini for Conan Exiles live. Below are the first lines of the default configuration; your file contains your values and all other settings.

Settings
Which Conan Exiles server settings you can configure
The settings are divided into the same categories as in the generator. The key used in ServerSettings.ini appears in parentheses.
Server identity
Server password (ServerPassword; leave blank for a public server), admin password for the in-game console command “MakeMeAdmin <password>” (AdminPassword), and message of the day (ServerMessageOfTheDay). Server name and maximum player count (1–100, default 40) are also in the form but are not written to the file, because Conan reads them from Engine.ini and Game.ini.
PvP & Social
Turn PvP on or off (PVPEnabled), limit PvP to a set time window (RestrictPVPTime), enable BattlEye anti-cheat (IsBattlEyeEnabled), remove ownership restrictions so anyone can use any chests, doors, and workbenches (NoOwnership), and set the maximum clan size (clanMaxSize, 1–100, default 20). The generator does not set the times for the PvP window.
Rates & Progression
XP rate (PlayerXPRateMultiplier) and harvest amount (HarvestAmountMultiplier), each 0–100 with a default of 1.0, plus crafting time via the actual key ItemConvertionMultiplier, spelled exactly that way (0.1–10; lower values make crafting faster).
Combat & Durability
Damage players deal (PlayerDamageMultiplier) and take (PlayerDamageTakenMultiplier), damage from NPCs and creatures (NPCDamageMultiplier), and damage to buildings during raids (StructureDamageMultiplier). Each ranges from 0 to 20 and defaults to 1.0.
Death & Purge
Whether equipped weapons and armor drop in a bag on death (DropEquipmentOnDeath). The server expects 1 or 0, which is exactly what the generator writes. You can also turn the Purge—NPC attacks on clan bases—on or off (EnablePurge) and set its strength (PurgeLevel, 1 = weakest, 10 = strongest).
Day/Night Cycle
How fast the overall day/night cycle passes (DayCycleSpeedScale) and how fast the night passes in addition (NightTimeSpeedScale). Each ranges from 0.1 to 10 and defaults to 1.0.
Advanced & startup parameters
Multihome bind IPs and additional startup parameters for ConanSandboxServer. These are not ServerSettings.ini keys, so the generator does not write them to the file. If you host yourself, pass them when starting ConanSandboxServer.
The generator covers 25 fields across 7 categories, a curated selection of more than 130 documented ServerSettings.ini keys. The remaining values stay at the game's defaults and can be added to the file manually if needed.
Guide
How to configure your Conan Exiles server
From your first setting to a running server: how to apply your settings to your Conan Exiles server.
- 1
Step 1
Load the default configuration or import a file
The generator starts with the default configuration. To change an existing ServerSettings.ini, paste its contents into the import field or upload the file, up to 2 MB. Recognized values appear in the form, while unknown lines are preserved in the file.
- 2
Step 2
Set server settings in the form
Go through the categories: Server Identity, PvP & Social, Rates & Progression, Combat & Durability, Death & Purge, and Day/Night Cycle.
- 3
Step 3
Or use Easy Mode
Describe your server in your own words or choose an example preset, such as a public PvE server with BattlEye. The AI suggests values and explains each change; only what you confirm is applied.
- 4
Step 4
Check live preview
Check the finished ServerSettings.ini in the live preview. The generator flags invalid values.
- 5
Step 5
Copy, download, or share
Copy the contents, download ServerSettings.ini, or share a link. Admin and server passwords are never included in the link.
- 6
Step 6
Upload and restart server
Replace the file on your server at ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ServerSettings.ini on Linux or ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\ServerSettings.ini on Windows, then restart the server. Conan Exiles reads ServerSettings.ini only at startup.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
File location, restart, PvE and PvP, rates, the Purge, and Easy Mode—quick answers.
Under ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ or WindowsServer/.
On Linux, it's located at ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ServerSettings.ini; on Windows, at ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\ServerSettings.ini. On a ZAP-Hosting server, you can open it through the File Manager in the ZapX Customer Panel.
Conan Exiles reads the file only on startup: upload it and restart.
The download only gives you the finished ServerSettings.ini; it does not change anything on your server. Upload the file to the config folder and restart the server, as Conan Exiles reads it only at startup. If you edit the file manually, watch out for DropEquipmentOnDeath: the server expects 1 or 0 and reads “True” as 0. The generator therefore always writes 1 or 0.
Conan reads them from Engine.ini and Game.ini, not ServerSettings.ini.
Conan Exiles reads the server name from Engine.ini ([OnlineSubsystem] ServerName) and the maximum player count from Game.ini ([/Script/Engine.GameSession] MaxPlayers). Neither would have any effect in ServerSettings.ini. The generator therefore includes them in the form but does not write them to the file. If you host yourself, enter them in those two files.
Use PVPEnabled, along with RestrictPVPTime and the damage multipliers.
PVPEnabled switches between PvE and PvP with base raiding. RestrictPVPTime limits PvP to a set time window; the generator does not set the times themselves. In Combat & Durability, you can adjust damage between players, damage from NPCs, and damage to buildings (StructureDamageMultiplier), and see the effect immediately in the preview.
PlayerXPRateMultiplier, HarvestAmountMultiplier, and ItemConvertionMultiplier.
PlayerXPRateMultiplier controls how quickly players gain experience, and HarvestAmountMultiplier controls how many resources they get from harvesting. Both range from 0 to 100 and default to 1.0. Crafting time is controlled by the key ItemConvertionMultiplier, spelled exactly that way in the game: values range from 0.1 to 10, with lower values making crafting faster.
EnablePurge turns it on; PurgeLevel sets its strength from 1 to 10.
The Purge sends NPC attacks against clan bases. EnablePurge turns it on or off; it is on by default. PurgeLevel sets the strength of the attacks from 1 (weakest, the default) to 10 (strongest).
Describe it instead of clicking through options—only what you confirm is applied.
Describe the server you want in your own words, such as “a small PvE server with faster harvesting for a group of friends,” or choose an example preset. The AI suggests suitable values and explains each change individually; only changes you confirm are applied. Your description and current values are sent to the AI, but your admin and server passwords are not.
Free, no sign-up, and passwords are never included in a share link.
The form, Easy Mode, import, copying, downloading, and sharing work without an account. ServerSettings.ini is generated directly in your browser. Admin and server passwords are masked in the form and never stored in share links; a link contains only the other values you changed. To keep Easy Mode available to everyone, its requests per minute are limited.
