Persistent worlds keep the selected Medieval Engineers world loaded between restarts instead of starting from a fresh or different world. Enable this from the world configuration, then restart the service.
Enable persistence
- Log in to your game control panel and open the Medieval Engineers server.
- Stop the server.
- Open Configuration Files.
- Open the configuration editor for the world settings.
- Select the world you want the server to use.
- Enable or select the Persistent option for that world.
- Save the configuration.
- Start the server.
Check the correct world loads
Join the server after restart and confirm the same world, grids, and player progress are present. If the server loads a different world, stop the server and check that the selected world name matches the save folder you intended to use.
Troubleshooting
- If the option is missing, check whether your service is using an older configuration template.
- If the world resets, restore a backup before making more changes.
- If you have several worlds with similar names, rename or archive old saves so the active world is obvious.
