Host a Soulmask Shifting Sands Server

Soulmask 1.0 arrived on 9 April 2026 with Shifting Sands, a second map. A dedicated server runs one map at a time.

Choosing the map

MapName on the command line
Cloud Mist ForestLevel01_Main
Shifting SandsDLC_Level01_Main

The map is the first argument of the server's command line. On Flux it is the Map field in Deployment Settings.

Each map keeps its own world

The server saves each map in its own folder, WS/Saved/Worlds/Dedicated/<map>/world.db, so switching to Shifting Sands does not touch your Cloud Mist Forest world, and switching back finds it as you left it. Backups on Flux hold both.

What players need

The Shifting Sands DLC: a player without it cannot join a server running that map. The dedicated server is the same free download for both maps.

Frequently asked questions

Can one server run both maps at once?

No: one server runs one map. You can switch between them, and each keeps its own world.

Do players need the DLC?

Yes, to join a server running Shifting Sands.
