## About Enshrouded servers

An Enshrouded dedicated server keeps your world online without anyone hosting from their own game. In a normal co-op session the world only exists while the host is playing, so everyone else waits for them. A dedicated server runs on its own, holds up to 16 players and lets anyone in your group log in, farm, build or explore whenever they have time.

The official server is a Windows program installed with SteamCMD under app ID 2278520 and configured through a single file, enshrouded_server.json. Access works through user groups rather than one shared password: each role such as Admin, Friend or Guest gets its own password and its own permissions for kicking players, opening chests and editing bases. The same file holds the game settings preset, and choosing Custom unlocks detailed options like enemy damage, resource yield and day length.

Enshrouded is heavier on the server than most survival games because the whole voxel world, including every base the players carve and build, stays loaded and simulated. Memory and CPU use rise with player count and base size, which is why a full 16 player world wants around 16 GB. Hosted with us, you can take a one click backup before every big update and upgrade your plan later if your builds outgrow it.

## FAQ

### How much does a Enshrouded server cost?

Enshrouded servers start at $5.00 for 3 days, with no subscription. Monthly plans are 8 GB for up to 2 players at $19.99, 12 GB for up to 4 players at $29.99 and 16 GB for up to 8 players at $39.99. Pay monthly or prepaid, split the bill with friends, and cancel any time.

### Can I upload my current save?

Yes. Start the server once so it makes its own world, then stop it and take a backup. On your PC, copy every file of your world from the Enshrouded folder in Saved Games, including its numbered copies and its index file. In Files, upload them into the savegame folder and rename them to start with the same code as the server's own world files, replacing those. Start the server and it loads your world.

### Do we keep our characters?

Yes. Characters are saved on each player's own PC, not on the server, so everyone joins with the character they already have and keeps it for other worlds. The server holds the world: your bases, chests and map progress.

### How many players can join an Enshrouded server?

Up to 16, which is the limit set by the game. Pick a plan with enough RAM for the group you expect.

### Is my server on Enshrouded 1.0?

Yes. Enshrouded 1.0 came out on 15 October 2026, and the server updates Enshrouded every time it starts, so a restart brings it up to date. Take a backup first, since big releases can change how saves load. Every player's skill tree resets the first time they load in on 1.0.

### Can PlayStation 5 players join?

Not yet. Enshrouded 1.0 launched on PS5 without crossplay, so dedicated servers are for PC players only.

### How do I set a password or make myself admin?

Enshrouded uses user groups. Your server has an Admin group, which can kick and ban, and a Friend group, which can build, open chests and edit bases. Set both passwords in your server settings. Players type the password for the role they should get when they join. Leave the Friend password empty for an open server. More groups, like a Guest group, can be added in enshrouded_server.json.

### Can we use voice chat?

Yes. Turn on Voice chat in your server settings, pick whether players hear people nearby or everyone on the server, then restart. Text chat is on already.

### Can I change difficulty and game settings?

Yes. Pick the Default, Relaxed, Hard or Survival preset in your server settings. Choose Custom to use the gameSettings block in enshrouded_server.json for enemy damage, resource yield, day length and more.

### Can I use mods on an Enshrouded server?

Not really. Enshrouded has no official mod support for dedicated servers, so servers run the game as Keen Games ships it. You can still change a lot through the custom game settings.

### Do my friends need to own Enshrouded?

Yes. Every player needs their own copy of Enshrouded on Steam. The server itself does not need a game license.

### Can my friends and I split the cost?

Yes. At checkout choose "Me and my friends" and up to 10 people each pay their own share with their own card, on any plan length, from 3 days to a year. It is not a payment plan: nobody pays in parts over time, each friend simply pays their own share. You pay yours, send each friend their link, and the server starts straight away. Each share includes a $1 payment fee.

### Can I build a custom plan?

Yes. Every game has a Build your own page: pick any amount of RAM up to 32 GB, any length from 3 days to 1 year, prepaid or a subscription, plus your server type and settings. A custom size costs 15% more per GB than the standard plans next to it.

### Can I pay once instead of a subscription?

Yes. Pick Prepaid and pay once for 3 days, 30 days, 6 months or a year. Nothing renews: when the time is up the server pauses and keeps its world for 14 days. Add time or switch to a subscription from your panel any time. Short rentals cost more per day, since every server is set up from scratch.

### How fast is setup, really?

Your server starts building the moment Stripe confirms payment. Most are online in under a minute, and the address and login appear on your dashboard automatically.
