Server Configuration
Server Configuration can be done either through the /serverui admin command or by directly editing configuration files. Many aspects of the world, items, and player settings can be changed in this way.
Basic Configuration
When setting up a server using the 'Host a World' option in the main menu, it is possible to configure a world using only a few options. They map to the Difficulty.eco configuration file. Also see WorldGenerator.eco for configuration related to world generation and EcoSim.eco for configuration related to the climate.
Editing Config Files (advanced)
Editing config files can allow for more detailed changes. You can alter world generation and gameplay in many ways.
The configuration present in the files can generally be accessed using the /serverui command in-game (you must be authorized to use admin commands in Users.eco).
Before You Begin
Note that each file has a "template" version. Keep this as a backup of the default values and create a version without the '.template' extension; this will be the real configuration file. Also note that game updates frequently change these settings and may plow over your configuration.
Any changes made to these configuration files will require a server restart before they will take effect.
