This guide covers the most common configuration tasks for a Conan Exiles Enhanced dedicated server hosted at Survival Servers — server name and password, gameplay multipliers, PvP rules, raid hours, and where each setting actually lives on disk.
Most settings are exposed as form fields in the control panel and write to the standard Conan config files for you. Use this page as a reference for where to find each common setting.


== Where settings live ==
== Server name, password, max slots ==
 
Conan Exiles Enhanced reads three configuration files for most server-side options:
 
* <code>ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\ServerSettings.ini</code> — server name, password, max players, base gameplay tuning
* <code>ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\Game.ini</code> — extended gameplay rules and PvP rules
* <code>ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\Engine.ini</code> — networking and engine-level toggles
 
The Survival Servers control panel exposes the most-used options as form fields and writes them to these files for you. You can also open each file directly through the panel's Advanced Config pills (ServerSettings.ini, Engine.ini, Game.ini) if you want to edit a setting that is not yet in the form.
 
== Server name, password, and slots ==


# Open your Conan Exiles Enhanced server in the control panel.
# Open your Conan Exiles Enhanced server in the control panel.
# Set '''Server name''', '''Server password''' (leave empty for an open server), and '''Max slots''' in the form.
# Click '''Modify Server Config'''.
# Click '''Save and restart''' to apply.
# Set '''Server Name''', '''Server Password''' (leave blank for an open server), and your slot count.
 
# Click '''Save and restart server'''.
The server password lets only players who know it connect. The admin password (next section) is separate — it is what gives logged-in players admin abilities once they are on the server.
 
== Setting an admin password ==


The admin password lets in-game players elevate to admin so they can spawn items, teleport, or run admin commands. To set it:
== Admin password ==


# Open '''Server Config''' in the panel.
# Open '''Modify Server Config'''.
# Set '''Admin password''' to a strong password.
# Set the '''Admin Password''' field.
# Save and restart.
# Click '''Save and restart server'''.
# In-game, open Settings and look for the admin password field; entering the password elevates that character.


For a step-by-step on running admin commands once elevated, see [[Adding Admins to a Conan Exiles Enhanced Server]].
For logging in as admin in-game, see [[Adding Admins to a Conan Exiles Enhanced Server]].

The most-tweaked gameplay settings:
The most-tweaked options live in '''Modify Server Config''':


* '''XP rate''' — how fast players level
* '''XP rate'''
* '''Harvest amount''' — resource yield from gathering
* '''Harvest amount'''
* '''Item spoil rate''' — how fast food, corpses, and consumables decay
* '''Item spoil rate'''
* '''Crafting time''' — how long crafting actions take
* '''Crafting time'''
* '''Stamina cost''' — combat and movement stamina drain
* '''Stamina cost'''
* '''Avatar lifetime''' — how long avatars (the giant gods) stay summoned
* '''Day/night cycle speed'''
* '''Day/night cycle speed'''


All of these are exposed as panel fields. The defaults match Funcom's official server defaults; raise above 1.0 for "easier" servers, lower for harder.
Default values match Funcom's defaults. Raise above 1.0 for an easier server, lower for harder.


== PvP, PvE, and PvE-Conflict modes ==
== PvP, PvE, and PvE-Conflict ==


Three server modes:
Pick the mode in '''Modify Server Config''' under '''Game Mode''':


* '''PvP''' — players can damage each other and structures at any time
* '''PvP''' — players can damage each other and structures any time.
* '''PvE''' — players cannot damage each other or each other's structures
* '''PvE''' — players cannot damage each other or each other's structures.
* '''PvE-Conflict''' — players can damage each other, but not each other's structures, except during raid hours
* '''PvE-Conflict''' — players can damage each other; structures take damage only during raid hours.
 
Mode is set in the panel's Server Config form and writes to the appropriate flags in <code>ServerSettings.ini</code>.


== Raid hours (PvP and PvE-Conflict only) ==
== Raid hours (PvP and PvE-Conflict only) ==


Raid hours define a window during which structure damage is allowed. Outside that window, building structures are invulnerable. Settings:
Raid hours define when structure damage is allowed. Outside the window, buildings are invulnerable.
 
* '''Raid hours start''' — UTC hour the raid window opens (0–23)
* '''Raid hours end''' — UTC hour the raid window closes (0–23)
* '''Raid hours weekday/weekend split''' — Conan Exiles supports a different window for weekdays vs weekends
 
Set these in the Server Config form and restart to apply.
 
== Whitelist and banlist ==
 
Whitelist mode lets only listed players connect. Useful for private clan servers or paid memberships.
 
* Toggle '''Whitelist enabled''' in the panel.
* Add Steam ID or Funcom ID entries to <code>ConanSandbox\Saved\Whitelist.txt</code> through the file manager.
* Save and restart for the whitelist to apply.
 
Bans are managed in-game by an admin, or by editing <code>ConanSandbox\Saved\BanList.txt</code> directly.
 
== Saving config changes ==
 
Conan Exiles applies most configuration changes only on a server restart. After saving in the panel, the panel will prompt you to choose:
 
# '''Save and restart server''' — saves and bounces the server. Recommended for changes that need to take effect right now.
# '''Save without restart''' — writes the new values to disk; they apply at the next natural restart.
# '''Save form values only''' — writes the panel form's values without rewriting the .ini files. Used to stage config changes without hitting the server yet.
 
If a setting does not appear to take effect, restart the server and verify the corresponding line in <code>ServerSettings.ini</code> through the file manager.
 
== Working with the merged Enhanced world ==
 
Conan Exiles Enhanced uses a single merged world map. Isle of Siptah is no longer a separate dedicated-server map selection. The map dropdown in the Conan Exiles Enhanced panel offers '''Enhanced World (Merged Map)''' as the default and only map; older Siptah-specific options are not available.


If you are migrating from a Conan Exiles Legacy Siptah server, see the [[Conan Exiles Enhanced Server Migration Guide]] for the path to move characters to Exiled Lands first.
# Open '''Modify Server Config'''.
# Set '''Raid Hours Start''' and '''Raid Hours End''' (UTC, 0–23).
# Optionally set a different window for weekends.
# Click '''Save and restart server'''.


== Working with mods ==
== Map selection ==


For Workshop mod installation and management, see [[Installing Workshop Mods on Conan Exiles Enhanced]]. Mod settings live alongside the rest of your config; mods may add their own settings panels in-game once installed.

== Troubleshooting ==
== Saving changes ==


* '''Setting reverts to default after restart.''' The .ini file may be locked or the server may not have permission to write. Open the file in the file manager and verify the change was saved; if not, contact support.
The control panel offers three save modes:
* '''Players cannot connect after a config change.''' Check '''Server password''' did not get accidentally set, and verify '''Whitelist enabled''' is off (or that the player is on the whitelist).
* '''Admin password not working in-game.''' Confirm the admin password is set in the panel, the change was saved, and the server has been restarted since.
* '''Server starts but no settings applied.''' Make sure you used '''Save and restart''', not '''Save form values only'''.


== Related guides ==
* '''Save and restart server''' — applies immediately.
* '''Save without restart''' — writes the values; they apply on the next restart.
* '''Save form values only''' — stages values without writing the server's config files.

Gameplay multipliers

The most-tweaked options live in Modify Server Config:

  • XP rate
  • Harvest amount
  • Item spoil rate
  • Crafting time
  • Stamina cost
  • Day/night cycle speed

Default values match Funcom's defaults. Raise above 1.0 for an easier server, lower for harder.

PvP, PvE, and PvE-Conflict

Pick the mode in Modify Server Config under Game Mode:

  • PvP — players can damage each other and structures any time.
  • PvE — players cannot damage each other or each other's structures.
  • PvE-Conflict — players can damage each other; structures take damage only during raid hours.

Raid hours (PvP and PvE-Conflict only)

Raid hours define when structure damage is allowed. Outside the window, buildings are invulnerable.

  1. Open Modify Server Config.
  2. Set Raid Hours Start and Raid Hours End (UTC, 0–23).
  3. Optionally set a different window for weekends.
  4. Click Save and restart server.

Map selection

Conan Exiles Enhanced uses a single merged world. The map dropdown shows Enhanced World (Merged Map) and that's the only option. Isle of Siptah is no longer a separate dedicated-server map.

Saving changes

The control panel offers three save modes:

  • Save and restart server — applies immediately.
  • Save without restart — writes the values; they apply on the next restart.
  • Save form values only — stages values without writing the server's config files.

Most settings only take effect after a restart.
