Configuring Survival Settings on Your SOTF Server
1. Log in to your Game Control Panel and navigate to your service.
2. Before making any modifications, stop the server from running by clicking the Stop button.
3. Navigate to the Configuration Files Tab to continue.
4. In the Configuration Files section, locate the DedicatedServer.cfg file. This is your main Sons of the Forest server configuration.
Click the Config Editor next to the Text Editor to open it.
5. Scroll to the Survival Settings section and customize each option based on how you want your server to play.
6. When you’re finished, click Save to ensure all adjustments are applied.
If you prefer to change the server name directly in the file rather than through our UI, click the Text Editor next to the Config Editor and make your adjustments there.
This ensures that any custom changes you’ve made, such as mods or custom scenarios, are preserved and won’t be overwritten by the Config Editor’s preset settings.
When you’re finished, click Save to ensure all adjustments are applied.
