Settings
Configure these server settings in your HumanitZ server's GameServerSettings.ini
The generator organizes server settings into seven areas. The keys used for the values in GameServerSettings.ini are shown in parentheses.
Server identity
Server name (ServerName, up to 64 characters), join password (Password, leave blank for a public server without a password), save name (SaveName, a new name starts a new world), Search ID for the in-game server browser, maximum player count (MaxPlayers, 1–64, default 16), the official global ban list, and hiding join and leave messages.
Admin & RCON
Admin password for in-game admin commands (AdminPass), reserved Slots for players listed in F_ReservedSlots.txt (ReserveSlots, 0–32), and the remote console: RCONEnabled enables it; only then do the RCON port (RConPort, default 8888) and RCON password (RCONPass) take effect.
PvP, death & loot
PvP on or off, permadeath, item loss on death (OnDeath: nothing, backpack, backpack and equipment, or everything), respawn delay (0–300 seconds), XP multiplier (0.1–10), loot respawn for emptied containers with an interval in minutes, and airdrops at intervals of 1–30 in-game days.
Enemies & Wildlife
Multipliers for zombie, bandit, and wildlife numbers (0–5 each), zombie health and damage (0–5 each), and the frequency of random AI raids (AIEvent: off, rare, normal, frequent, or very frequent).
Time & seasons
Day and night length in real minutes (DayDur and NightDur, 5–240 each, defaults 40 and 20), days per season (DaysPerSeason, 1–60), and starting season (StartingSeason), which only applies to a new save.
Building & Decay
Building health multiplier (BuildingHealth, 0.1–10), allow dismantling your own structures, Free Build without foundations, and decay of unvisited structures in real-world days (BuildingDecay, 0–90, default 7).
Companions
Enable or disable companion dogs (DogEnabled) and set the maximum number of dogs a player can recruit (DogNum, 0–20, default 8).
The generator covers 37 settings in the [Host Settings] and [World Settings] sections of GameServerSettings.ini. Other keys from the official file, such as individual weather probabilities, are not in the form.
Guide
How to configure your HumanitZ server with GameServerSettings.ini
From your first setting to a running server: how to get your GameServerSettings.ini onto your HumanitZ server.
- 1
Step 1
Open generator
The generator starts with HumanitZ's default config, which you can see immediately in the live preview. If you already have a GameServerSettings.ini, upload it using Import or paste its contents. The generator adds back any unrecognized key=value entries on export. The import does not retain comment lines or blank lines. Check the live preview to see whether the result is right.
- 2
Step 2
Choose Easy Mode or the form
In Easy Mode, describe your server in your own words, such as “hard PvE server with scarce loot, more zombies, and permadeath.” The AI suggests suitable values and explains each change; only suggestions you confirm are applied. In Advanced Mode, you set each option yourself.
- 3
Step 3
Set server identity and access
Enter a server name, an optional join password, the save name, and the maximum player count (1–64). For RCON, first enable “Enable RCON,” then set the port and password.
- 4
Step 4
Set up gameplay
Adjust PvP, permadeath, item loss on death, loot respawn, airdrops, zombie, bandit, and wildlife numbers, day and night length, seasons, building decay, and companion dogs.
- 5
Step 5
Check and save the config
Check GameServerSettings.ini, including its [Host Settings] and [World Settings] sections, in the live preview. Then copy its contents, download the file, or share a link without passwords.
- 6
Step 6
Upload and restart server
Upload GameServerSettings.ini to your server at ./TSSGame/GameServerSettings.ini on Linux or .\TSSGame\GameServerSettings.ini on Windows, using the File Manager, for example, and replace the old file. Then restart the server, as HumanitZ only reads the file on startup.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
File location, server settings, day and night, import, Easy Mode, passwords, and RCON—briefly explained.
In your server's TSSGame subdirectory: ./TSSGame/GameServerSettings.ini on Linux or .\TSSGame\GameServerSettings.ini on Windows. On your ZAP-Hosting server, you can view and edit it directly in the File Manager in the ZapX Customer Panel. Do not confuse it with GameUserSettings.ini, which only contains client-side graphics settings unrelated to the server.
No — the download gives you a ready-to-upload GameServerSettings.ini for the File Manager. The server only reads this file on startup, so you need to restart it for your changes to take effect.
37 settings in seven areas: server identity, admin & RCON, PvP, death & loot, enemies & wildlife, time & seasons, building & decay, and companions. Other keys from the official file, such as individual weather probabilities, are not in the form. If you import a GameServerSettings.ini containing these entries, the generator adds them back on export.
Under “Time & Seasons,” DayDur and NightDur set how many real-world minutes an in-game day and night last (5–240 each, defaults 40 and 20). DaysPerSeason sets how many in-game days a season lasts (1–60). StartingSeason only applies to a new save: an existing world keeps its season, while a new SaveName starts a new world. Restart the server after each change.
Yes. Use Import to upload a file up to 2 MB or paste its contents. Recognized settings fill the form, while the generator adds other key=value entries back on export. Comment lines and blank lines are not retained. Check the live preview to see whether the result is right.
Describe the server you want in up to 500 characters, such as “Co-op server for friends only, no PvP, lots of dogs, short nights.” An AI suggests suitable settings and explains each change. You choose which suggestions to apply; nothing changes without your confirmation. Join, admin, and RCON passwords are not sent to the AI.
The join, admin and RCON passwords are not saved in share links and are masked in the form. A share link contains only the non-secret values you deliberately changed.
Yes. The RCON port (default 8888) and RCON password only matter if you turn on “Enable RCON” under “Admin & RCON.” They are ignored when RCON is disabled.
The generator is free to use without signing up: the form, Easy Mode, import, copy, download, and sharing all work without an account. The GameServerSettings.ini is generated directly in your browser. Only Easy Mode suggestions send your description and current values, without passwords, to the AI.
