Set the rules for your game version​

The available choices follow the version your server uses. On versions with the newer sandbox rules, use the Panel's difficulty, loot, zombie-speed and Blood Moon controls to change those rules. Older versions retain their compatible choices.

Adjust the rules you want to change and leave the rest as they are. You do not need to replace a whole custom ruleset just to change one setting. If a value is unfamiliar, read its description before saving.

Blood Moon interval controls the schedule; Blood Moon random delay adds variation. Blood Moon zombies per player and Maximum active zombies are different limits, so raising one does not remove the other.

Keep the right world​

World to load selects an installed world, or RWG for generation. World generation seed and World generation size apply when generating a world; changing the size does not resize an existing one.

Save game name identifies the save within that world. Changing it can start a different save. Download a backup before switching worlds or experimenting with new generation settings.
