How to Change the Maximum Player Count on Your Enshrouded Server<\/h2>\n

The Max Players<\/strong> setting determines the total number of survivors who can inhabit your world simultaneously. Whether you are looking to create an intimate co-op experience for a few friends or expand your realm for a larger community, adjusting this limit is simple via the GGServers panel. Follow the steps below to configure your server’s capacity.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Access the Panel<\/h3>\n

Log in to your GGServers Control Panel<\/a> and select your Enshrouded server. This dashboard is your central tool for managing all technical specifications of your instance.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n

To ensure that the new player limit is correctly applied to the server’s startup parameters, you must first stop the server. Click the red Stop<\/strong> button on the main console. Wait for the status indicator to show “Offline” before proceeding.<\/p>\n
