Installing the server is only half the road; it's the configuration that decides whether your world will go the distance. A well-tuned Frozen Flame server means smooth co-op, closed to intruders and cut to fit your group, with no nasty surprise on the evening everyone connects at once. Let's go over the levers that really matter.
The settings you can't get wrong
- Server name: the label shown in the list. Keep it crystal clear so your crew spots it at first glance.
- Password: the key to a private world. Without it, the first passer-by wanders into the middle of your base.
- Slot count: the simultaneous players allowed. Line it up with the available RAM and the CPU frequency.
- Difficulty: tunes the ferocity of the creatures and the harshness of survival. Dose it to match the group's experience.
- Save cadence: enable automatic saving and space it out sensibly so you never lose a session of progress again.
Should you plan a wipe?
On a persistent world, the question of a wipe (resetting the map and the builds) comes up sooner or later: after a big game update, a change of starting biome or simply to restart on clean foundations. Before any wipe, archive the current save: you can go back to it if the group misses the old world. Warn players ahead of time too — nothing kills morale like a base razed without notice.
Secure the server and keep it up to date
Once SteamCMD is in place, replay the update with every new version of the game: a server that's behind flat-out refuses connections. Keep a robust password and check from time to time that your saves are actually written to disk, not merely scheduled.
Tune the performance
- Grant RAM consistent with the number of players: neither famine nor waste.
- Bet on a high-frequency CPU (a Ryzen 9 7950X3D works wonders): the smoothness of the world flows straight from it.
- Restart cleanly after every heavy config change to apply it.
Write your settings down somewhere: on the day of a wipe or a reinstall, recovering your ideal config from memory is an uphill battle.
The FlyPanel version, without touching the files

SteamCMD updates are automated and the included Anti-DDoS stands guard around the clock. No server on hand yet?
