The Forest Dedicated Server Setup
The Forest works best when you keep the setup boring. Use a clear server name, password-protect the world, test persistence early, and avoid changing several settings before anyone has even joined once.
- Create the server in the lowest-latency region for the core group.
- Set a password before posting join details anywhere public.
- Run a short test session and verify the save still exists after restart.
- Only then invite the full group.
