V Rising Advanced Server Configuration
To get more fine-grained control over your server settings, you can manually edit the game settings JSON file.
TLDR:
We need to copy the file VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings/ServerGameSettings.json to this folder: save-data\Settings, and then make our changes to the save-data/Settings/ServerGameSettings.json file.
You should never make changes inside the VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings folder, because they can be lost when the game updates. Make sure to follow the steps below and copy the file into save-data instead, then you're safe to make any changes you like.
The only exception is the adminlist and banlist, which must be changed in the VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings folder.
Let's see how to do this below:
Copy the settings file
There are a couple of ways to do this, but the easiest way is using the built in copy function.
Go to your server's file browser, and browse to the VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings folder.
Click the options button on the ServerGameSettings.json file and select the "Copy" option.
Move and rename the file
You should now see a second ServerGameSettings.json file but with some random numbers afterwards. Click the options button on the copy we created, and select the "Rename/Move" option.
Paste in the following: /save-data/Settings/ServerGameSettings.json
What we're doing here, is both moving the file to the right place and renaming the file back to the correct name both at the same time
Edit your game settings
Finally, you can go back to the container folder, and then go into /save-data/Settings/ where you'll find the file we just copied.
Open ServerGameSettings.json in the file browser and make your desired changes. When you're done, click "Save".
Don't forget to restart your server back on the console page for the changes to take effect!
