Many gameplay settings are no longer configured individually via the server configuration, but are instead stored in what is known as a sandbox code. This code combines all sandbox settings into a single string and can be used for both single-player worlds and dedicated servers. What is a sandbox code? A sandbox code contains all the important settings for your game world\u2014such as difficulty level, loot multipliers, zombie behavior, and progression options. If you change any of these settings, a new code is automatically generated. This makes it easy to save, share, and reuse entire game configurations on other servers. Creating sandbox code ingame Here&#8217;s how to create your own sandbox code: Any change to the options automatically generates an updated code. Create sandbox code outside the game You can also create a sandbox code on the following external site, for example, then copy it again and use it for your world. Labyricorn&#8217;s Sandbox Encoder Using sandbox code on a server Once you&#8217;ve created your sandbox code, you can use it on your game server. After restarting, the server will adopt all settings from the inserted sandbox code. Apply existing settings (Pre. 3.0) If you&#8217;ve already been playing with older server settings, we recommend noting them down first and then recreating them in the game using the sandbox options. Once you&#8217;ve created the appropriate sandbox code, you can use it on your server and continue using your preferred configuration in version 3.0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":12008,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"post-blog-template.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,22],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
