Your Conan Exiles server's settings are in the file ServerSettings.ini. You'll find it in the Files tab under ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/ServerSettings.ini. The file is created when the server starts for the first time.
How to proceed
- Stop the server and wait until it is "offline".
- Open
ServerSettings.ini, change values and save. - Start the server.
Ideally only change the file while the server is stopped – the server writes it itself when starting and shutting down.
Popular values
All values are under [ServerSettings]. 1 is the default, 2 twice as much. If a value isn't in the file yet, add it as a new line directly below [ServerSettings].
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
PlayerXPRateMultiplier | overall experience |
PlayerXPKillMultiplier, PlayerXPHarvestMultiplier, PlayerXPCraftMultiplier | experience from combat, harvesting, crafting |
HarvestAmountMultiplier | how many resources you get when harvesting |
CraftingCostMultiplier | material cost when crafting (smaller = cheaper) |
PVPEnabled | True turns PvP on |
CanDamagePlayerOwnedStructures | True = other players' buildings can be damaged |
KickAFKTime | after how many seconds of inactivity players are kicked |
PvP only at certain times: RestrictPVPTime=True and then start and end per weekday, e.g. PVPTimeSaturdayStart=1800 and PVPTimeSaturdayEnd=2300 (time without colon).
Admin password
Add this line below [ServerSettings]:
AdminPassword=YourAdminPassword
In the game, press Esc, open Settings, choose Server Settings, enter the password and click Make me Admin. After that you'll find the Admin Panel in the Esc menu.
Good to know
- Server name and join password are set in the Startup variables tab (
SRV_NAME,SRV_PW). - Download the file before larger changes – then you have a backup.
- Connecting and ports: Connecting and setting up a Conan Exiles server.
