• Tooltips on every setting with descriptions and valid ranges
• Server log viewer
• Writes enshrouded_server.json automatically before each server start
• Check for Updates via GitHub releases

Folder Structure

On first launch the manager creates an EnshroudedServer\ folder next to the exe:

EnshroudedServerManager.exe
EnshroudedServer\
├── server_config.json      ← manager config (edit here or via Settings tab)
├── server\                 ← enshrouded_server.exe lives here after update
├── steamcmd\               ← SteamCMD downloaded here automatically
├── backups\                ← zip backups stored here
└── logs\                   ← manager log (server_manager.log)

Notes

• Run as Administrator for full process control.
• SteamCMD is downloaded automatically on first Update.
• On Windows Server, install the Visual C++ Redistributable before clicking Update. SteamCMD exits with code 8 if it is missing.
