Short answers to the Enshrouded questions we hear most. Console players cannot join, you become admin with the Admin Password, the game settings only work under Custom difficulty, terrain outside a Flame Altar's area grows back by design, the game saves by itself every few minutes, and there are no mods at launch.
No. Your server runs the Steam PC version of Enshrouded. PlayStation 5 gets the game at 1.0 on October 15, 2026, and Xbox later, but Keen has not announced crossplay, so console players cannot join a PC dedicated server on any host.
Join with the Admin Password from the Details tab of your card. Enshrouded has no admin list, console, or RCON: the password typed at join sets the role, and admins kick and ban from the in-game player list. Full guide: .
The individual game settings only apply when Difficulty is Custom. Under any preset the game ignores them, and it says so in the log at every start: 'gameSettings' will not be applied Preset is not set to 'Custom'. You can spot that line in your Console card. Set Difficulty to Custom and restart: Enshrouded difficulty and custom game settings.
That is how Enshrouded is built, not a rollback on your server. A Keen developer confirmed it on the official forum: changes inside a Flame Altar's area are permanent, and outside that area the world returns to its natural state over time (Keen's answer on Steam). Dig, build, and terraform inside a Flame Altar's area to keep your changes. It works the same on every host.
No, and you do not need to. Enshrouded has no autosave setting. It saves the world about every 5 minutes, and your server saves it once more every time it stops, restarts, or goes to sleep, so a normal stop loses nothing.
Not today. Keen has no official mod support. The community mod loader is unofficial, works by placing its own DLL file in the Windows game files, and can stop working whenever the game updates, and 1.0 is a big update. So we are not offering it at launch, and your server runs Enshrouded as Keen ships it. You still have full access to your config and saves in the Files card.
On your PC, single-player worlds are in %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Enshrouded, and world 1 is the file named 3ad85aea. On your server, the world is the savegame folder in the Files card. To move one to the other: Enshrouded: move your world to your server.
No. Players can only join a server on the same build as their game, and Steam updates everyone automatically, so your server follows the latest build: Enshrouded: 1.0, game updates, and version mismatch.
