Config Generator

Fill in the fields below to generate a ready-to-use serversettings.xml for your Barotrauma dedicated server.

The main dedicated-server settings file, in the Barotrauma root folder. Always stop the server before editing -- it overwrites this file on shutdown, discarding edits made while it was running.

Source: Cross-checked against multiple hosting providers' generated copies of this file rather than a single fetchable page; attribute casing has lower confidence than this generator's other games, so double-check against your own server's generated copy before relying on it.
