Guides, tutorials, and tips for game server hosting. Everything you need to get the most out of your server.
The settings that shape a ReSkate server: name, password and listing, admins and roles, reserved slots, map pool and rotation, player votes, AFK kicks and object limits, and how to change them without the server overwriting you.
Put custom maps in the server’s Mods folder, keep the Thunderstore folder name so players are offered the download, keep maps on their latest version, and spawn Park Editor parks for everyone with park-mod.
The ReSkate server browser now lists only servers with a Steam game server login token. How to make one for App ID 3354750, where it goes, and the other reasons a server goes missing or turns players away, version mismatches first.
The 1.0 server converts an Early Access world on its first boot. The savedata2-migration log lines from a real server, which files in savegame are involved, what to do if the lines never appear, and why the update is one-way.
Your players updated to 1.0 and cannot join, the server restarted fine, and the log still says Game Version (SVN): 1024233. The Steam update step failed and the game started the old build anyway. How to read the steamcmd output, what the failures look like, and how to force the update.
Six checks for the first week of Enshrouded 1.0 on a dedicated server, with the exact log lines: confirm build 1267041, watch the save migration, warn the group about the skill reset, leave roles alone, look at the new enemy-count option, and do not promise crossplay.
tModLoader is on Terraria 1.4.4 and PC-only; the vanilla server is on 1.4.5.8 and the one Re-Logic’s crossplay plan points at. The facts side by side, why worlds do not cross over, and how to decide for your group.
Journey is a world difficulty fixed at creation, and fifteen journeypermission keys decide who may freeze time, use god mode or slide the difficulty. What 0, 1 and 2 mean on a dedicated server, and which powers to lock on a shared one.
Every serverconfig.txt key from the official 1.4.5.8 zip — world, autocreate, difficulty, maxplayers (1–255), port, password, worldrollbackstokeep, secure, npcstream, the fifteen Journey permissions — plus the command-line flags that duplicate them.
One .wld file: where worlds live on Windows and Linux, getting one out of Steam Cloud, placing it where worldpath points, why the name is the identity, and the two moves that do not exist — from tModLoader, and from a console.
Only two sourced figures exist: 500 MB for a small world (Terraria wiki) and at least 768 MB (Pelican egg README). What drives memory — world size first, players second — what nobody has measured, and how we size 2, 3 and 4 GB plans.
