Where the settings are
- ServerSettings.ini ([ServerSettings]): the rules below, and AdminPassword.
- Engine.ini: the server name, the join password and which regions of the map run.
- Game.ini: Max Players ([/Script/Engine.GameSession]) and RCON ([RconPlugin]).
Tip:The server can write ServerSettings.ini back as it shuts down, so edit it with the server stopped, or your change may be undone. On Flux the Server Settings tab stops the server, writes and starts it again for you.
Rates
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| PlayerXPRateMultiplier | 1 | Experience from everything (Kill, Harvest, Craft and Time multipliers on top) |
| HarvestAmountMultiplier | 1 | Resources per hit |
| ResourceRespawnSpeedMultiplier | 1 | How fast trees, rocks and plants grow back |
| ItemConvertionMultiplier | 1 | Crafting station time; lower is faster |
| ThrallConversionMultiplier | 1 | Time on the Wheel of Pain; lower is faster |

PvP, raids and the schedule
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| PVPEnabled | False | Players can hurt each other |
| CanDamagePlayerOwnedStructures | False | Raiding: players can damage other players' buildings |
| RestrictPVPTime | False | PvP only during each day's PVPTime<Day>Start / End |
| RestrictPVPBuildingDamageTime | False | Raids only during each day's PVPBuildingDamageTime<Day>Start / End |
| DynamicBuildingDamage | False | Offline raid protection, after DynamicBuildingDamagePeriod seconds (1800) |
Each day has its own switch (PVPEnabledMonday ... Sunday) and its own window, written as a number of hours and minutes: 1800 is 18:00. Raids have a separate set of the same keys. That is 44 keys for a weekly schedule, which is why the PvP Schedule tab on Flux shows it as a week.
Building, clans and thralls
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| DisableBuildingAbandonment | True | Buildings never decay; turn it off on a busy server |
| BuildingDecayTimeMultiplier | 1 | How long an abandoned building lasts |
| clanMaxSize | 30 | Players per clan (Enhanced writes it with a lowercase c) |
| UseMinionPopulationLimit | False | Caps thralls and pets per clan |
| AvatarsDisabled | False | Stops god avatars being summoned |
Frequently asked questions
How do I change the XP rate on my Conan Exiles server?
Set PlayerXPRateMultiplier in ServerSettings.ini with the server stopped (2 doubles it). On Flux it is XP in the Server Settings tab.
How do I make PvP only at night?
Turn PvP on, set RestrictPVPTime=True and give each day a PvP window. On Flux: PvP in Server Settings, then the hours in the PvP Schedule tab.
Why did my ServerSettings.ini changes disappear?
The server can write the file back as it shuts down, so a change made while it runs may be overwritten. Edit it with the server stopped.
