How To Change Difficulty on The Forest Server

Changing the difficulty on your The Forest server is a great way to customize your gameplay experience and adjust how challenging survival will be for you and your friends. With GGServers, you can easily switch between different difficulty modes such as Normal, Hard, or Peaceful, depending on how you want to play. In this guide, we’ll show you step-by-step how to change the server difficulty safely and effectively.

To start, go to the GGServers Control Panel at https://panel.ggservers.com and log in with your account. Before making any changes, you should stop the server. This ensures that the difficulty setting saves correctly and prevents issues when the server restarts.

Once the server is stopped, go to the left-hand menu and click on Server Settings. This is where you’ll find the configuration options that let you customize your The Forest dedicated server.

Next, click on General Settings. This section allows you to edit your server’s key properties, including name, password, and difficulty level.

Scroll down until you find the Difficulty box. Here, you can choose the difficulty level you want your The Forest server to run on. The available options typically include:

• Peaceful – No enemies, focus entirely on building and survival without combat.
• Normal – Standard difficulty, balanced survival experience.
• Hard – Enemies are stronger, resources may be harder to manage.

After selecting your desired difficulty, the panel will automatically save the change. Once saved, return to the main control panel and start your server again. Your The Forest world will now load with the updated difficulty setting, and all players joining will experience the game at that level of challenge.

Adjusting the difficulty can completely change the way you and your friends play The Forest. Whether you want a relaxed building session in Peaceful mode or a high-intensity survival experience in Hard Survival, customizing this setting ensures your server is tailored to your group’s playstyle.
