How to Change the Difficulty Preset on Your Enshrouded Server
This guide will show you how to change the server difficulty on your Enshrouded server.
Difficulty Presets
Section titled “Difficulty Presets”By default, Enshrouded comes with five difficulty presets that you can use to quickly adjust how hard the game is. You can adjust these directly from our game panel.
- Log in to the Game Host Bros Panel and stop your Enshrouded server.
- Go to
Configuration > Startup Parameters
. - Find the
Difficulty
setting and change it to the desired difficulty. - Start your server.
Here are the Enshrouded difficulty presets you can select and what they do:
- Default - The “Default” difficulty setting configures all values to default. It’s the direct continuation of how Enshrouded was first configured and is the recommended setting for first-time players.
- Relaxed - The “Relaxed” preset reduces the number of enemies and provides players with more resources and loot. This mode targets players who are most interested in base building and lighthearted adventuring.
- Hard - The “Hard” preset increases the number of enemies and makes them more aggressive to give players a tougher combat experience.
- Survival - The “Survival” preset is for those who seek punishment with additional survival mechanics on top of more aggressive enemies.
- Custom - When “Custom” is selected, a long list of individual settings can be tweaked. This setting is required if you manually adjust your
enshrouded_server.json
file.
If you want to tweak individual game settings, you’ll need to do it from the enshrouded_server.json
file and Difficulty
must be set to Custom
in our game panel. Our guide on that can be found here:
