Unlike the in-game co-op host option (which runs as a listen server tied to one player&#8217;s session), a dedicated server keeps your world available around the clock. This guide walks through the full setup using SteamCMD, the correct ports, and the <code>enshrouded_server.json<\/code> config file, then helps you decide whether self-hosting or renting makes more sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need before you start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Enshrouded dedicated server tool is a free, separate download from the game itself, distributed anonymously through SteamCMD. You do not need to own a second copy of Enshrouded to run it. Before installing, make sure your hardware and network can handle it. Enshrouded is CPU- and RAM-heavy as player count and base size grow, and community guidance recommends at least 8 GB of RAM for servers expecting 8 or more regular players. For exact specs, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/enshrouded-dedicated-server-requirements\/\">Enshrouded dedicated server requirements<\/a> breakdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A Windows or Linux machine (or rented server) you can leave running 24\/7<\/li>\n<li>SteamCMD installed (the command-line Steam client)<\/li>\n<li>Roughly 8 GB+ RAM recommended for larger groups; less is fine for small co-op<\/li>\n<li>Router or firewall access to open the required ports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Install the server with SteamCMD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Enshrouded dedicated server installs under Steam <strong>AppID 2278520<\/strong>. Once SteamCMD is set up, log in anonymously and download the server files into a dedicated folder. On Windows, the command looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir \"C:\\enshrouded-server\" +app_update 2278520 validate +quit<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <code>validate<\/code> flag verifies the files after download, which is worth keeping in your update routine. After major patches you simply re-run the same command to pull the latest build. Note that the official server binary is a Windows executable (<code>enshrouded_server.exe<\/code>); Linux hosts typically run it through Proton or a compatibility layer, which most Linux self-host guides cover. If you&#8217;d rather not touch the command line at all, the <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/enshrouded-windowsgsm-self-host-guide\/\">WindowsGSM self-host guide<\/a> wraps these steps in a GUI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Generate and edit enshrouded_server.json<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Launch <code>enshrouded_server.exe<\/code> once. On first run it generates <code>enshrouded_server.json<\/code> in the server&#8217;s base folder, then you can stop the server and open that file in any text editor. This single JSON file controls nearly everything about your server. The main top-level fields you&#8217;ll work with are below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Field<\/th><th>What it does<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><code>name<\/code><\/td><td>The server name shown in the server browser<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><code>saveDirectory<\/code> \/ <code>logDirectory<\/code><\/td><td>Where world saves and logs are written<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><code>ip<\/code><\/td><td>Bind address (leave at default for most setups)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><code>gamePort<\/code><\/td><td>Game traffic port (default 15636)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><code>queryPort<\/code><\/td><td>Server-browser query port (default 15637)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><code>slotCount<\/code><\/td><td>Max players; supports up to 16<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><code>gameSettingsPreset<\/code><\/td><td>Default, Relaxed, Hard, Survival, or Custom<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><code>userGroups<\/code><\/td><td>Roles with passwords and permissions<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two things commonly trip people up. First, <code>slotCount<\/code> supports up to <strong>16<\/strong> players \u2014 see our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/enshrouded-co-op-multiplayer-player-count\/\">co-op player count guide<\/a> for how that scales with performance. Second, Enshrouded uses a <code>userGroups<\/code> array for access rather than a single server password. By default it ships with groups such as Admin, Friend, and Guest, each with its own <code>password<\/code> and permission flags like <code>canKickBan<\/code>, <code>canAccessInventories<\/code>, <code>canEditBase<\/code>, <code>canExtendBase<\/code>, and <code>reservedSlots<\/code>. Players join by entering the password for the role you want them to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <code>gameSettings<\/code> object holds the granular difficulty multipliers (player health, mana, stamina, enemy damage, durability loss, and so on). Important caveat: if <code>gameSettingsPreset<\/code> is set to anything other than <strong>Custom<\/strong>, your individual <code>gameSettings<\/code> values are ignored and the preset&#8217;s values are used instead. Because these fields have shifted across updates (the &#8220;Back to the Shroud&#8221; update notably expanded them), treat any specific multiplier as version-dependent and confirm it against your installed build. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/enshrouded-server-config-json-settings-explained\/\">enshrouded_server.json settings explained<\/a> guide goes field by field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Open the firewall and forward ports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enshrouded needs two ports open: <strong>15636<\/strong> (the game port) and <strong>15637<\/strong> (the query port). Open both for inbound traffic on your firewall, and if you&#8217;re hosting from home, forward both to your server&#8217;s local IP in your router. If you change <code>gamePort<\/code> or <code>queryPort<\/code> in the JSON, forward the ports you actually set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>UDP 15636 \u2014 game traffic (gameplay data)<\/li>\n<li>UDP 15637 \u2014 query port (server listing\/browser)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start the server again and watch the console \u2014 a <code>HostOnline<\/code> message means it launched successfully. To verify connectivity, add the server to your Steam favorites using your public IP and the query port (for example <code>IP:15637<\/code>), then connect through the in-game server browser. If players can&#8217;t find or join the server, the cause is almost always a port or firewall issue \u2014 our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/enshrouded-server-not-showing-up-cant-connect-fix\/\">server not showing up \/ can&#8217;t connect fix<\/a> walks through the usual culprits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self-host vs. rent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Self-hosting is free aside from your hardware and electricity, and it gives you total control. The trade-offs are real, though: the machine has to stay on 24\/7, you&#8217;re responsible for port forwarding, patching, backups, and DDoS exposure, and a busy 16-player base can tax a home CPU and your upstream bandwidth. Renting removes that overhead \u2014 instant SteamCMD provisioning, managed updates, a control panel for the JSON, and a static IP. If you&#8217;d rather skip the maintenance, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/enshrouded-server-hosting\">spin up a managed Enshrouded server<\/a> in a few minutes, and our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/docs\/enshrouded\">Enshrouded hosting docs<\/a> cover panel-specific setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many players can an Enshrouded dedicated server hold?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enshrouded supports up to 16 players, set via the <code>slotCount<\/code> field in <code>enshrouded_server.json<\/code>. Hitting that ceiling smoothly needs adequate hardware \u2014 plan for at least 8 GB of RAM once you regularly run 8 or more players, since base size and player count both drive CPU and memory use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need to buy the game to run a dedicated server?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The Enshrouded dedicated server is a free, separate tool downloaded anonymously through SteamCMD under AppID 2278520. Players connecting to it do need to own Enshrouded, but the server host does not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I make myself an admin?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enshrouded handles permissions through the <code>userGroups<\/code> array rather than a single admin password. Set a password on the Admin group in <code>enshrouded_server.json<\/code>, then enter that password when joining so the game assigns you the admin role and its permissions (such as <code>canKickBan<\/code>). For the full role and command reference, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/enshrouded-admin-commands-server-roles\/\">admin commands and server roles<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Running your own Enshrouded dedicated server gives you a persistent world that stays online whether or not the host is playing, plus full control over difficulty, player slots, and admin roles.
