This guide covers admin commands, server management, and gameplay tuning for your Citadel: Forged with Fire server. For initial setup and configuration, see Citadel: Forged with Fire Server Setup Guide.
1. Admin Access
Admin access is controlled via the ADMIN_PASSWD startup variable. Set this in the Startup tab of GPanel before starting your server.
To log in as admin in-game, open the console and enter the admin password when prompted. This grants access to server management commands.
2. Server Management
Starting, Stopping, and Restarting
Use the Console tab in GPanel to start, stop, and restart your server. The server auto-updates on startup when AUTO_UPDATE is set to 1.
Monitoring
The GPanel console displays server status, player connections, and error messages in real time. Watch for the message Steam Server initialized and registered with UWorks to confirm successful startup.
3. Gameplay Configuration
All gameplay settings are in Config/Game.ini under the WorldCreationSettings block. Edit via GPanel Files tab or SFTP.
