How to use this generator
Start with the server name and player slots, then choose a difficulty preset. If you want your own mix, pick Custom and open any group of settings, like Enemies or World and weather.
Set up your groups next. Every group gets a strong password made in your browser. Copy each one and send it only to the people who should have it.
The file on the right (or below on a phone) updates as you go. Copy it or download it when the checks say it is ready.
Where the file goes
Stop the server first. Then put enshrouded_server.json in the server folder, next to enshrouded_server.exe, and replace the old one. Start the server again and your settings load.
Already have a file? Use Import to load it. The tool keeps settings it does not know, fixes values that are out of range and tells you exactly what it changed.
Difficulty presets and Custom
Default is the normal game. Relaxed gives fewer enemies and more loot, Hard makes fights tougher, and Survival adds extra survival rules on top.
Only Custom reads the gameSettings block. Numbers there are multipliers: 1 is normal, 2 is double and 0.5 is half. Day and night lengths are stored in nanoseconds, so the tool lets you pick minutes and does the math.
Roles, passwords and reserved slots
A fresh file has four groups: Admin, Friend, Guest and Visitor. Each one is a set of switches, like building in bases, opening chests or kicking players. You can rename them, add your own or remove the ones you do not need.
Reserved slots keep room for a group. If Admin has one reserved slot, the server shows as full to everyone else when only that slot is left, so you can always get in.
What changed in 1.0
Enshrouded 1.0 added flameLevelFogRemoval, the Flame level at which Flame Altars push back the Shroud (11 by default), and an Automatic choice for the number of enemies. The ban list is saved as bannedAccounts.
