How to wipe your The Forest server

Print
  • 21

The current The Forest package does not have a separate Wipe Server button. A fresh world is created by setting initType New for one start, then returning the setting to Continue.

This replaces the world in the selected save slot. Create a working backup first and check the slot value before continuing.
  1. Stop the server and click Backup Server.
  2. Open Configuration Files and the server.cfg Text Editor.
  3. Check the selected save slot, then change:
initType New
  1. Save the file and start the server once. Allow it enough time to create the fresh world.
  2. Stop the server, reopen server.cfg and change the line back to:
initType Continue
  1. Save and start the server again, then join and confirm the new world loads.

Do not leave initType set to New; doing so can create a new world again on the next start. To preserve the old world instead, choose another unused slot value and use the same one-start process.
