Adjusting Difficulty Settings on Your The Forest 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. Go to the Configuration tab, find server.cfg, and click the Config Editor to access its settings.
5. Within the Config Editor, find the Difficulty field and change it based on the level you want.
6. When you’re finished, click Save to ensure all adjustments are applied.
If you want to modify the server name through the file itself, select the Text Editor next to the Config Editor and apply your updates.
This way, all custom modifications you’ve applied, including mods and custom scenarios, remain intact and aren’t affected by the Config Editor preset.
