V Rising: Host & Foundation Settings
While gameplay modifiers live in one file, the ServerHostSettings.json file defines your server's technical identity, network rules, and administration ports.
1. Server Identity
Name & Description: How your server appears in the public list. Use clear, descriptive names to attract players.
2. Network Ports
UDP 9876/9877: The lifeblood of the connection. Ports MUST be open for players to see or join your server.
3. Admin Control
RCON: Remote Console access. Allows you to manage the server without being in-game.

}Save Data Paths
On advanced setups, we recommend using a specific save name to keep different world versions separate.
"SaveName": "Vardoran_Main"Changing the SaveName on an existing server will cause it to start a new, fresh world. To keep your progress, you would need to rename the physical folder in your /Saves/ directory to match.
Pro Tip: If your server is lagging during save events, try increasing the AutoSaveInterval to 600 or 900 seconds to reduce disk I/O frequency.
