HOW TO RUN YOUR OWN DEDICATED SERVER!

Hi there, just a quick post to give instructions for eveyone on how to run thier own dedicated server for the new game updates!

Navigate to your steam folder where age of survival is saved, you will see a folder called "WindowsServer".

Navigate there and find the executable for the server, which is called AOS2023Server.exe

Right click and create a shortcut to that file. Right click the shortcut you just created, and click on properties.

In the target field AFTER everything in parenthesis, add this : -log -server -port=7777

It should look something like : yourpathhereetcetc\AOS2023Server.exe" -log -server -port=7777

You also want to navigate to the WindowsServer\AOS2023\Content folder and open up the Serverconfig.json file.

You can edit these parameters to your liking :

"Server_Name": "AOS USA West Coast", - please name this to something custom "ServerMap": "Tanganzibar", - there is only one map right now, but that will change! "MaxPublicConnections": 25, - max players "MaxPrivateConnections": 0, - not used yet but will be soon "ServerHarvestRate": 1, - set these rates to your liking "ServerExperienceRate": 1

When you are done run your server using the shortcut you created.

Properly shut down the server by clicking on it's window and pressing CRTL + C twice, you will see the window close if you have done it properly.

AVOID CLOSING THE SERVER THROUGH OTHER METHODS like the X button on the window, or ALT + f4. Those methods will not properly close the server, and you may lose experience / buildings / inventory data.
