How to Configure the Purge on Your Conan Exiles Server

What the Purge is and how to configure purge frequency, difficulty, and offline purges on your Conan Exiles server.

The Purge is a PvE raid event where waves of NPCs attack player bases. The enemy type depends on the biome where you built.

Purge Settings

In ServerSettings.ini:

Setting	Default	Description
`EnablePurge`	`True`	Enable/disable purge events
`PurgeLevel`	`6`	Difficulty 1–6 (higher = harder waves)
`PurgePrepareTime`	varies	Warning time before purge starts (seconds)
`PurgeDuration`	varies	Max length of a purge event (seconds)
`MinimumNumberOfOnlinePlayers`	`0`	Min players online for purge to trigger. 0 = offline purges enabled.
`PurgeMeterTriggerValue`	varies	Activity threshold to trigger a purge
`PurgeNPCBuildingDamageMultiplier`	`1.0`	Damage purge NPCs deal to structures
`AllowBuilding`	`True`	Allow construction during purge

EnablePurge=False

Set a minimum player count — purges only trigger when enough clan members are online:

MinimumNumberOfOnlinePlayers=1

💡 Tip: Many private PvE servers set MinimumNumberOfOnlinePlayers=1 to prevent bases being destroyed while players are offline.
