Empyrion: Galactic Survival

Change an Empyrion scenario without overwriting the wrong save

Custom Scenario and Save Name serve different purposes. The first chooses scenario content; the second identifies the game save. A scenario change should be planned with a compatible save rather than applied blindly to existing progress.

File locations used below — relative to the server root
dedicated.yaml

Make the change

  1. Stop the server and back up Saves plus dedicated.yaml.
  2. Record Save Name, Custom Scenario, Game Mode and Seed.
  3. Install the custom scenario’s complete package using the layout specified by its author.
  4. For a new scenario world, use a distinct Save Name and keep the old save untouched.
  5. Start and inspect the playfield logs, then join and check the expected starting location.

Check the result

If the server remains at a playfield-loading stage, check missing scenario files before increasing timeouts. Return to the original scenario and Save Name to test the previous world.
