HumanitZ 1.0 Official Release: Dedicated Server Update Checklist

HumanitZ 1.0 released on February 6, 2026. If you run a dedicated server, plan for a full update and a fresh save.

Quick summary

• Update required: Make sure your server is updated to the latest build before letting players back in.
• New save needed: The 1.0 release requires starting a new save (existing saves may not be compatible).
• Back up first: Even if you cannot reuse the old save, keep a backup for reference or rollback.

Step-by-step checklist

1. Announce downtime. Let your players know you are updating for the 1.0 release.
2. Back up server data. Copy your entire save/config directory somewhere safe.
3. Update via SteamCMD. Re-run your SteamCMD update command (and include validate if you suspect file issues).
4. Create a new world/save. Plan a fresh start for 1.0.
5. Re-apply configuration. Re-check settings like server name, password, max players, and any loot or PvP/PvE rules.
6. Verify connectivity. Confirm ports/firewall rules are still correct and that players can connect.
