Enshrouded: connect to and set up your server

Start your Enshrouded server, find it in the server list and set the name, password and player count.

Here's how to connect to your Enshrouded server and adjust the most important settings.

Connecting

  1. Open the server page in the client area and click Start.
  2. Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
  3. Copy the address (IP:Port) at the top of the server page.
  4. Find the server by its name in the in-game server list and join with the server password.

Important settings

In the Startup variables tab:

  • Server name (SRV_NAME) – name of the server.
  • Server password (SRV_PW) – password for joining.
  • Max. players (MAX_PLAYERS) – maximum number of players.
  • Automatic update (AUTO_UPDATE) – updates the server on start.

More settings are in enshrouded_server.json in the Files tab. Changes in the Startup variables tab take effect on the next restart.

Good to know

  • The first start takes longer because the server files are downloaded and set up.
