## FAQ

### What is Enshrouded and how does multiplayer work?

Enshrouded is an action RPG survival game developed by Keen Games set in the open world of Embervale. Dedicated servers support up to 16 players cooperatively. The world is a fixed shared map (not procedurally generated), so all players explore the same terrain, dungeons, and Shroud zones together. A dedicated server keeps the world online 24/7, letting teammates log in independently.

### What is the Shroud and how does it affect gameplay on a server?

The Shroud is a toxic fog that covers large portions of Embervale. When players enter Shroud zones, a timer starts counting down — if it reaches zero, you die. These zones contain tougher enemies, boss encounters, and valuable loot. On a dedicated server, multiple players can coordinate Shroud runs together, making it easier to tackle boss progression and gather rare resources before the timer expires.

### How do the Flame Altar and base building work on a dedicated server?

The Flame Altar is the anchor point for every base in Enshrouded. Placing one claims a build zone, and upgrading it with resources expands the allowed building area. On a dedicated server, base decay settings can be configured in enshrouded_server.json to control how quickly unattended structures deteriorate. Players share the world, so multiple Flame Altars can be placed across the map for strategic outposts.

### What are Craftspeople NPCs and why do they matter?

Enshrouded features five rescuable Craftspeople NPCs — the Blacksmith, Alchemist, Farmer, Hunter, and Carpenter. Each NPC unlocks unique crafting recipes when placed at your base. For example, the Blacksmith enables metal weapon and armor crafting, while the Farmer unlocks cooking and crop cultivation. On a dedicated server, all players benefit from rescued NPCs, so coordinating who to rescue first is a key group strategy.

### How does the skill tree and class system work in Enshrouded?

Enshrouded uses a skill tree system with three base classes — Warrior, Ranger, and Mage — each branching into specializations like Champion, Battlemage, Assassin, Survivor, Healer, and Battle Mage. Players earn skill points through leveling and can build hybrid roles. On a dedicated server with up to 16 players, groups often specialize across different trees to cover tanking, healing, ranged DPS, and support roles.

### What port does Enshrouded use and how do I configure my server?

Enshrouded dedicated servers use UDP port 15636 by default. Server configuration is handled through the enshrouded_server.json file, where you can set the server name, password, player count (up to 16), game difficulty presets or custom difficulty, and base decay rates. On XGamingServer, these settings are accessible through the Pterodactyl game panel or via SFTP for direct file editing.

### Can I transfer my Enshrouded save files between servers?

Yes, Enshrouded save files are fully transferable between servers. You can download your world save via SFTP from your current server and upload it to a new one. This means you can migrate from a self-hosted setup to XGamingServer (or between plans) without losing any progress, builds, or rescued NPCs.

### How much RAM does an Enshrouded server need and does it support crossplay?

Enshrouded dedicated servers typically require 4-8 GB of RAM depending on player count and base complexity. For a full 16-player server with large builds, 8 GB or more is recommended. Enshrouded is currently Steam-only with no crossplay support, so all players need the Steam version to connect. XGamingServer plans for Enshrouded start with enough RAM for smooth gameplay and can be upgraded as your community grows.
