3. Configuration Files
Rimworld Together uses several configuration files in the Configs/ directory. Edit these through the GPanel Files tab or via SFTP.
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
Configs/ServerConfig.json |
Core server settings (IP, port, max players, verbose logging). |
Configs/WorldConfig.json |

Configs/DifficultyConfig.json |

Configs/ActionConfig.json |
Controls which multiplayer actions are allowed (trading, raiding, etc.). |
Configs/ModConfig.json |

4. Player Management
Rimworld Together handles player accounts server-side. When a player connects for the first time, they create an account with a username and password stored on the server.
- Player data is stored in the server's data directories. Each player has their own save data.
- Use the
kickandbancommands to manage disruptive players. - Banned players are stored in a ban list file. Use
pardonto unban. - Player settlement data can be found in the server's save directories if you need to manually remove or reset a player.
5. Mod Enforcement
The server can enforce mod lists to prevent desyncs. Configure mod enforcement through Configs/ModConfig.json.
- Required mods -- Players must have these mods installed to connect.
- Optional mods -- Players can have these mods but they are not required.
- Forbidden mods -- Players with these mods will be rejected.
6. World Data and Backups
The server stores world data and player saves in dedicated directories. To back up your server:
- Stop the server.
- Download the entire server directory (or at minimum the
Configs/and data directories) via SFTP. - Store the backup in a safe location.
To restore a backup, upload the saved files back to the server directory and restart.
7. Updating the Server
To update the server to a new version:
- Set
VERSIONtolatest(or a specific version tag) in the GPanel Startup tab. - Click Reinstall in GPanel to download the new version.
- Ensure all players update their client-side Rimworld Together mod to the matching version.
