Run Only a Custom Map
To run only a Workshop map without the base map:
Map=RavenCreek📝 Note: Some Workshop maps require the base map to be loaded. Check the mod's description for requirements.
Reset After Map Changes
If you change maps on an existing server, you may need to reset the world for changes to take full effect. See Reset World for instructions.
For minor additions (adding a new map alongside existing ones), a reset usually isn't needed — the new area simply becomes available.
