How to Configure Your 7D2D Server

Learn how to configure your 7 Days to Die dedicated server. This guide will walk you through the various settings available.

At GhostCap, we've integrated 7 Days to Die settings directly into our game panel, so you can effortlessly change settings such as zombie speed, max zombies, difficulty, server name, and more. Otherwise, 7 Days to Die settings are normally changed in the serverconfig.xml file.

Configuring Your 7 Days to Die Server

  1. Log into your GhostCap panel and select your 7 Days to Die server.
  2. In the sidebar, go to Startup Parameters.
  3. Edit the settings you'd like to change.
  4. Restart your server.
Note

If you want to manually customize your server using the serverconfig.xml file, you can disable File Parser in Configuration > Startup Parameters.

This will stop our panel from writing to your serverconfig.xml file, and you will need to manually configure your server correctly. You should only consider this if you know what you're doing, as incorrect configuration will make your server unable to start.
