How much does an Enshrouded server cost?

At RespawnHost the 6 GB package (Flameborn Starter) starts at 0.0504 € per hour pay-per-use or 10.00 € per month as a fixed package. A 4-hour co-op session costs around 0.20 € — when the server is off, you pay nothing.

When does Enshrouded 1.0 release?

Enshrouded leaves Early Access on October 15, 2026 and launches as version 1.0 on Steam. Your RespawnHost server installs the update automatically on the next restart.

Do I need a password?

No, a server password is optional — without one, your server is open. Via the userGroups in enshrouded_server.json you can additionally create up to 10 roles with their own passwords and permissions, e.g. separate ones for admins and guests.

How many players can play along?

The game supports a maximum of 16 players simultaneously on one server.

How is quest progress saved?

Quests are server-wide. When a player completes a quest, it is often considered completed for the whole group. Character progress (level, skills) is individual.

Can I use my singleplayer character?

Yes, characters and inventory are separate from the world. You can join any server with your character and keep your equipment.

How much RAM do I need?

6 GB is enough for 2-4 players, and we recommend 10 GB for 4-8 players. Full 16-player lobbies with large voxel bases run smoothest on 14-20 GB RAM.

How do I find my server?

There is a server browser in the game. Search for your server name. Sometimes it takes a moment until it is listed. You can also save it as a favorite.

No, Enshrouded is a pure co-op game (PvE). There is no friendly fire.

Simply restart the server. Our system installs the update automatically.

Can I upload the world?

Yes, you can upload your local world (savegame) via SFTP to the server.

Where are the servers located?

We have servers in Germany and in USA (Salt Lake City).

Are there admin commands?

There are no classic chat commands — admin rights work via the userGroups in the server config. There you assign permissions per role, such as kick/ban, access to inventories, or editing bases.

Is the server persistent?

Yes, everything you build and change is permanently saved.

Do resources respawn?

Yes, trees and ores respawn after a certain time if they are not within a base zone.

How big is the world?

The world is entirely hand-built (no random gen), highly vertical, and has been expanded with new biomes several times through free updates since the Early Access launch.

What happens if my credit runs out?

The server stops. Your world remains. After topping up, it continues.

Can I change the server name?

Yes, at any time in the web interface in the settings.

There is no official mod support yet (as of July 2026). The community has built the Enshrouded Mod Loader (EML), an unofficial tool that also works on dedicated servers — use at your own risk.

How do I save my progress?

We make automatic backups. You can restore them in the web interface.

Can friends play when I'm offline?

Yes, that is the advantage of a dedicated server. It continues to run even if you are not there.

Yes, Enshrouded now has built-in voice and text chat. In the server config you choose between Proximity (audible only nearby) and Global — or disable chat entirely.

You can create backups manually or set them up automatically (for a small fee) and restore them in the web interface at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions about Enshrouded Servers

Enshrouded Dedicated Server Hosting: Together Against the Fog

Enshrouded combines survival, crafting, and action RPG in a beautiful voxel world. But Embervale is dangerous. Alone you hardly have a chance against the horrors of the Shroud. With your own dedicated server from RespawnHost, you can fight, build, and uncover the secrets of the kingdom together with up to 15 friends (total 16 players). And there's no better time to start: on October 15, 2026, Enshrouded leaves Early Access — version 1.0 launches on Steam.

Why rent an Enshrouded server at RespawnHost?

Enshrouded uses a voxel engine that allows you to change almost everything in the world. This requires a lot of computing power and memory, especially when 16 players are digging up the world or building huge fortresses at the same time. Our servers are designed to process these amounts of data quickly so that your game remains fluid.

The co-op aspect is in the foreground. Unlike peer-to-peer connections, where the host must always be online, your dedicated server continues to run. Your friends can continue building the base even if you don't have time. Progress is stored centrally.

Features for Heroes

16 Player Slots: Maximum group size for epic raids
Role system: Up to 10 userGroups with their own password and permissions (kick/ban, base editing, reserved slots)
Persistent World: All buildings and changes remain
Easy Configuration: Change server name and password in the web interface
DDoS Protection: Undisturbed gaming
Backup System: Security for your savegame

With our Pay-Per-Use model, you only pay for the time you experience adventures together. Perfect for groups that have fixed playing times.

Fairness through Pay-Per-Use

Why pay for a 24/7 server when you only meet in the evening? At RespawnHost, you start the server before the session and stop it afterwards. So you save money and only pay for real playtime.

Full transparency: You see exactly what the server costs. No hidden fees. You have full control.

Tip: Use the automatic updates so you can always play the latest content as soon as it is released.

How do I configure an Enshrouded dedicated server?

The heart of every Enshrouded server is the enshrouded_server.json file. At RespawnHost you manage the key values comfortably in the web interface — and if you want to go deeper, you can edit the file directly via SFTP. The most important settings at a glance:

By the way, a server password is optional: leave the field empty and your server is open — instead, userGroups let you hand out separate passwords per role, for example one for admins and one for guests. You can also upload your local savegame to the server via SFTP at any time and continue seamlessly.

slotCount: Maximum number of players, the game's hard cap is 16
queryPort: Default port 15637 — preconfigured on our servers, no port forwarding needed
gameSettingsPreset: Difficulty as a preset — Default, Relaxed, Hard, Survival, or Custom
gameSettings: The Custom preset unlocks around 40 individual values, e.g. enemyDamageFactor, dayTimeDuration, resourceDropStackAmountFactor, or tombstoneMode
userGroups: Up to 10 roles, each with its own password and permissions like canKickBan, canEditBase, and reservedSlots
enableVoiceChat / voiceChatMode: Built-in voice chat, either Proximity (audible only nearby) or Global

Enshrouded 1.0: What does the release mean for your server?

Keen Games has made it official: Enshrouded leaves Early Access on October 15, 2026 and launches as version 1.0 on Steam. Details on new content, optimizations, and quality-of-life changes are announced for the summer.

For your server at RespawnHost this simply means: restart once the update is live — our system installs the new version automatically. If you start with the Early Access build now, you'll enter the 1.0 launch with an established base and a well-practiced group.
