Build a correct enshrouded_server.json for Enshrouded 1.0
The Enshrouded dedicated server is configured with one file, enshrouded_server.json, next to enshrouded_server.exe. This generator follows the official readme that ships with the 1.0.0.0 server, so every key, default value, minimum, maximum and option matches what the game expects, including flameLevelFogRemoval, the setting added in 1.0 that controls which Flame level lets players place altars in the Shroud (default 11, range 0 to 20).
Pick a difficulty preset (Default, Relaxed, Hard or Survival) or switch to Custom to tune the full gameSettings block: player health, mana, stamina, body heat and diving time; hunger, food buffs and Shroud time; tombstone mode; weather and fishing difficulty; mining, plant growth, resource and workshop speeds; XP rates; enemy amount, damage, health, perception and attack frequency; boss damage and health; taming; day and night length; and the Shroud curse. Your gameSettings values only take effect with the Custom preset, and the tool reminds you when they won't apply.
Day length, night length and the hungry state are stored in nanoseconds in the file. You set them in minutes here and the tool converts them, so a 30-minute day is written as 1800000000000.
User groups decide what each player can do. The tool starts with the four official groups (Admin, Friend, Guest and Visitor) with the official permissions and fresh random passwords, just like a newly created server file. Each group has canKickBan, canAccessInventories, canEditWorld, canEditBase and canExtendBase plus reserved slots. Bans are added in game from the Social tab and stored in bannedAccounts.
Network settings cover the bind IP, the query port (default 15637) and slot count (1 to 16). Since update 0.9 the file has no separate game port or single server password; passwords live in the user groups. Copy or download the file, put it in the server folder and restart the server.
Enshrouded Server Config Generator (1.0) — FAQ
Where does enshrouded_server.json go?
In the same folder as enshrouded_server.exe. If the file doesn't exist, the server creates a fresh one with default values on start.
Why are my gameSettings not working?
The gameSettings values are only used when gameSettingsPreset is set to "Custom". With Default, Relaxed, Hard or Survival the preset's own values apply.
How do I set a server password in Enshrouded?
Passwords belong to user groups. Each group (Admin, Friend, Guest, Visitor or your own) has its own password and permissions, and players join with the password of their group. The old single "password" line has been legacy since Update 2.
What is the maximum slotCount?
16. The official readme says the slot count can only be between 1 and 16.
What are the tombstoneMode options?
AddBackpackMaterials (default, players lose only materials on death), Everything (players lose all backpack items) and NoTombstone.
What is flameLevelFogRemoval?
A setting added in Enshrouded 1.0. It sets the Flame level required before players can place Flame Altars inside the Shroud. The default is 11 and the range is 0 to 20.
Which port does an Enshrouded server use?
The config file has a queryPort setting with a default of 15637. Since update 0.9 there is no separate gamePort key in the file.
Do I need to restart after editing the file?
Yes. Stop the server, edit enshrouded_server.json, then start it again.
