Conan Exiles server

How do I connect to my Conan Exiles server?

In Conan Exiles, open Direct Connect and enter the IP address and port shown at the top of the GamePanel console. The server is ready when the console shows "Started SourceServerQueries".

  1. Start the server and wait for the "Started SourceServerQueries" line in the console (about 30 seconds, longer with mods).

  2. Note the server address and port at the top of the console: this is the game port, not the query port.

  3. In the game, choose Direct Connect, enter the address and port, then the server password if you set one (SERVER_PASSWORD).

Common errors

  • The query port (QUERY_PORT) is only used for status queries: connecting with it fails.
  • The Enhanced edition is on PC (Steam): console versions cannot join this server for now.
Backups, subdomain, SFTP and ports

These topics are common to all games: see the GamePanel guide. For SFTP, follow the step-by-step FileZilla guide.

  1. Help center home, GamePanel guide (all games).

Guides 5

How do I become an admin in game?

An admin password is created when you order: it is in GamePanelServer Options, setting "Mot de passe administrateur" (ADMIN_PASSWORD). Enter it in the game settings to open the admin panel.

  1. GamePanelServer Options: copy or change the admin password (letters, digits and _ . @ # % + ! ? -).

  2. Restart the server: the password is written to ServerSettings.ini at every start.

  3. In game, open the settings, choose the option to become an admin and enter the password.

Common errors

  • Setting left empty: the password already in ServerSettings.ini is kept as is.
How do I switch to PvP or PvE, change the name or the number of players?

GamePanelServer Options: "Combat entre joueurs (PvP)" (1 = PvP, 0 = PvE), server name, max players (70 at most) and server password. They apply at the next start.

  1. Stop the server.

  2. GamePanelServer Options: change the settings you want.

  3. Start. PvP is rewritten in ServerSettings.ini at every start, the rest is passed to the server at launch.

  4. The other game rules (experience, harvesting, thralls, building damage) are in ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ServerSettings.ini: edit it with the server stopped, in GamePanelFiles.

Common errors

  • PVPEnabled edited by hand in ServerSettings.ini: the panel setting replaces it at start. Change "Combat entre joueurs (PvP)" instead.
How do I add mods?

Open GamePanelSteam Workshop, search for the mod by name and install it. The server downloads it at start and adds it to ConanSandbox/Mods/modlist.txt, in the order you chose. Your players need the same mods.

In the GamePanel

your serverSteam WorkshopOpen

  1. In your server menu, open "Atelier Steam" (Steam Workshop).

  2. Search for the mod by name and install it. Pick mods tagged "Enhanced": "Legacy" mods do not work on the Enhanced edition.

  3. Restart: mods are downloaded and updated at every start.

  4. Your players subscribe to the same mods on the Steam Workshop (a Steam collection makes sharing easier).

  5. Without the window: GamePanelServer Options, "Mods de l'Atelier Steam" (MODS), IDs separated by commas in load order (example: 3725018456,3750659229). Emptying this setting also empties modlist.txt at the next start.

Common errors

  • The server stops at start with "Mod is too old and needs to be updated for this game version": this mod is not updated for the game version. Remove it and restart, until its author updates it.
  • "HelloServ : mod … introuvable sur l'Atelier Steam" in the console: the ID is wrong or the mod was removed from the Workshop.
How do I bring an existing world?

The world lives in a database file, ConanSandbox/Saved/game_0.db on the Enhanced edition. With the server stopped, replace it with yours, then restart.

  1. Stop the server, then download ConanSandbox/Saved/game_0.db to keep the current world.

  2. Upload your file to ConanSandbox/Saved with GamePanelFiles or SFTP, named game_0.db, and delete game_0.db-wal and game_0.db-shm if they exist.

  3. Start: the server loads this world.

Common errors

  • A world that used mods needs the same mods on the server.
How do I schedule an automatic restart of my Conan Exiles server?

A scheduled task restarts the server at a set time. Each restart also installs the latest version of the game and the mods.

In the GamePanel

your serverSystemScheduled TasksOpen

  1. GamePanelSystemSchedulesCreate, choose Empty task, Continue, then the name, frequency and time, and Create the task.

  2. On the task page, Create a task: Send power action, Restart the server, offset 0.

  3. Trigger runs the task right away to try it, restart included.

Common errors

  • Pick a time when nobody plays: the stop takes about a minute and connected players are disconnected.
