Enshrouded Server Performance Guide

Daily Restarts (Essential)

Enshrouded has known memory leaks. Restart every 8–12 hours for stability.

Set up a scheduled restart in the XGamingServer Panel via Schedules.

Performance Tips

• Group players together — players in different biomes load separate terrain, which is the biggest RAM consumer
• Reduce enemy spawns — set randomSpawnerAmount to "Few" in Custom difficulty
• Match slotCount to reality — don't set 16 if you expect 4 players
• 8GB RAM minimum for 8+ players
• "Server Overloaded" messages are a known issue with the official server software — restarts help

Heavy Areas

Hollow Halls and certain late-game areas are especially hard on performance. Expect lag when multiple players are there simultaneously.
