Windrose Dedicated Server – How to Change Server Settings

Easily customize your Windrose dedicated server experience by adjusting gameplay settings directly in your server files. This guide shows you how to edit your world configuration using the file manager.

Access Your Server Settings

To modify your Windrose server settings:

1. Stop your server
2. Open the file manager
3. Navigate to:

R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/<game version>/Worlds/<world ID>/WorldDescription.json

Each world has its own WorldDescription.json. Make sure you select the correct world.

Configure the Active World

Inside the file, locate:

"IslandId": "YOUR_WORLD_ID"

This value must match:

• The world folder name
• The WorldIslandId in ServerDescription.json

This ensures your dedicated server loads the correct world.

Set Your Server Difficulty

"WorldPresetType": "Medium"

Available presets:

• Easy
• Medium
• Hard

Using custom settings will automatically switch this to Custom.

Customize Gameplay Settings
