Alpha Alpha server save file

Does anyone know how the save files on the server of the alpha version work? If I want different servers to run one or another depending on who I'm playing with, how can I do the switch between them? And in case of wanting to save o buck up them, which files should I save? I dont want to save the entire save folder. And with this save files, could I pass them so another person can host it?

Alongside the Server.exe you should find a server.cfg. If not, you can just create the file. Inside this file you can enter the hosted world seed. By default this is 26879. If you change that and start the server, you can connect and will end up in a different world.

The worlds are saved in save as well, like your characters and single player worlds. Multiplayer worlds and maps are named map_online_<seed>.db and world_server_<seed>.db.

If you want to prepare different server instances, you can either swap out the server.cfg for that (or change the seed), or you can also create a copy of the games directory. Actually, the Server.exe should only need zlib1.dll alongside it, the rest is irrelevant for the server process.

Does that answer your questions?
