Example: the generated Network.eco
You set the options using a form or AI Easy Mode, and the generator creates the finished Network.eco for Eco - Global Survival live. Below are the first lines of the default configuration; your file contains your values and all other settings.

Settings
These Eco server settings go in Network.eco
The server configuration is divided into three sections. Each value's key in Network.eco is shown in parentheses. The generator writes the current keys Name, DetailedDescription and DefaultSlots; the current Eco server ignores the old keys Description and MaxConnections.
Server identity
Server name (Name, up to 250 characters), detailed description (DetailedDescription, up to 500 characters), server password (Password), listing in the public Strange Loop Games server browser (PublicServer, off by default) and maximum player Slots (DefaultSlots, 5–250, default 8).
Server browser listing
Server category (ServerCategory, default None) as free text using the known values None, Beginner, Established, Beginner Hard and Strange, plus your Discord invite code (DiscordAddress), for which you enter only the part after https://discord.gg/.
RCON & network
RCON password (RconPassword), which enables RCON; update rate in seconds (Rate, 1–60, default 20); reserved Slots for players with queue priority (ReservedSlots, -1 for unlimited to 100, default 5); and UPnP (UPnPEnabled), which is not relevant on a rented ZAP-Hosting server.
The generator only covers Network.eco. It deliberately omits the IP address, remote address and ports. You also cannot set world size, difficulty or skill points here.
Guide
How to configure your Eco server step by step
From the first setting to a running server: how to get Network.eco onto your Eco server.
- 1
Step 1
Open generator
The generator starts with a default Network.eco that you can see immediately in the live preview. If you already have a Network.eco, upload it using the import feature or paste its contents.
- 2
Step 2
Choose Easy Mode or the form
In Easy Mode, describe your server in your own words, for example, “a small private server with a password for friends.” The AI suggests suitable values and explains each change; only changes you confirm are applied. In advanced mode, you set each option yourself.
- 3
Step 3
Set server identity
Enter a server name, description and, optionally, a server password. Decide whether the server appears in the public server browser, and set the player Slots between 5 and 250.
- 4
Step 4
Set up listing and RCON
Choose a server category, enter your Discord invite code and set an RCON password if you want to use RCON. Adjust the update rate, reserved Slots and UPnP if needed.
- 5
Step 5
Check and save Network.eco
Check the file in the live preview; the generator flags invalid values. Then copy Network.eco, download it or share a link without passwords.
- 6
Step 6
Stop server, replace file, start server
Stop your Eco server, replace Network.eco in the Configs folder, for example using the File Manager, and start the server again. Eco only reads the file at startup and overwrites it on shutdown.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Settings, file location, privacy, RCON, player Slots and Easy Mode, explained briefly.
Eleven Network.eco settings across three sections: server name, detailed description, server password, public server browser listing and player Slots, plus server category and Discord invite code, RCON password, update rate, reserved Slots and UPnP. The IP address, remote address, and game, web and RCON ports depend on your server infrastructure and are deliberately omitted. This generator cannot set world size, difficulty or other gameplay values.
Network.eco is in your Eco server's Configs folder: Configs/Network.eco on Linux, Configs\Network.eco on Windows. On a ZAP-Hosting server, you can view and edit it directly using the File Manager in the ZapX Customer Panel.
Eco only reads Network.eco at startup and overwrites it on shutdown. If you upload a new file while the server is running, your changes will be lost at the next shutdown. Downloading the file does not apply it automatically either. The correct order is: stop the server, replace the file, start the server.
Set a server password and leave listing in the public Strange Loop Games server browser (PublicServer) turned off, as it is by default. Players on your server's whitelist can join without a password.
Enter an RCON password (RconPassword), because RCON only becomes active once a password is set. Use a long, random value: anyone who knows the RCON password has full remote access to admin commands.
In the generator, you can set the maximum player Slots (DefaultSlots) between 5 and 250; the default is 8. Reserved Slots (ReservedSlots) for players with queue priority are added on top: from -1 for unlimited to 100; the default is 5.
Describe the server you want in your own words, for example, “a small private server with RCON and no public listing.” AI then suggests suitable settings, explains each change individually and applies nothing until you confirm. Server and RCON passwords are not sent to the AI.
The generator is free to use without signing up: the form, Easy Mode, import, copy, download and share features all work without an account. Server and RCON passwords are masked in the form and never saved in a share link. A share link contains only the non-secret values you have changed.
