Apply a Startup change
- Stop the server between sessions. For a save-related change, make a backup first.
- Open Startup → Variables, enter a value accepted by the field and wait for it to save.
- Start the server and check the result in game. If startup stops, read the first Console error before making another change.
| Panel field | Purpose and accepted values |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Starting map difficulty, choose from [easy, medium, hard, extreme]. Used for the very first map, if one is not supplied from an imported character. Accepted values: easy, medium, hard, extreme. |
| Password | The password for players joining the game. Do not reuse your panel account password. |
| Admin Password | The password for remote administration. Keep it separate from the player join password. Up to 20 characters. |
Why a file edit can revert
Startup values are written to their mapped configuration entries when this server starts. Change a listed setting in Startup; use Files for settings that are not mapped to a panel field.
