Adjusting the maximum number of players on your Sons of the Forest dedicated server is simple with GGServers. Increasing or reducing the player cap allows you to tailor the survival experience to your needs, whether you want a private adventure with a few close friends or a larger multiplayer session with a full group. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll explain how to change the max players setting from the GGServers control panel, ensuring that your server is configured exactly the way you want for smooth multiplayer gameplay.
To get started, log in to the GGServers Control Panel using your account credentials. Once you are logged in, locate your Sons of the Forest server and stop it before making any configuration changes. Stopping the server ensures that the new settings will save properly and apply without issues.

In the left-hand navigation menu, click on Server Settings. This section contains all of the essential configuration options for your Sons of the Forest server, including world setup, gameplay parameters, and multiplayer settings.

Next, open the General Settings tab. This is where you’ll find the most important customization fields for your server, such as difficulty, server name, password options, and of course the maximum number of players allowed.

Look for the option labeled Max Players. This setting controls how many players can join your server at the same time. If you want to run a small private world, you can lower the number. If you want a larger community experience, increase the max player count.

Enter your desired number of players and save the change. The system will automatically update the configuration. Once you’ve set your preferred max players, return to the main control panel and start the server again. Your Sons of the Forest server will now run with the updated player limit, allowing you to fully customize the size of your multiplayer sessions.
That’s all it takes! With GGServers, changing the max players on your Sons of the Forest server is fast and user-friendly. Whether you’re hosting an intimate survival run with friends or building a large-scale multiplayer world, you have full control over how many survivors can join your adventure.
