Run the server once to automatically generate the `enshrouded_server.json` configuration file, then shut it down.
Open `enshrouded_server.json` in Notepad, set `"slotCount": 16`, set your server name and password, and verify ports 15636 and 15637 are forwarded.
Launch the server batch file and connect in-game via the Server Browser or direct IP connect.
Test, convert, and benchmark your gaming settings right in your browser:
