Tuning
Light QoL only. Combat, harvest rates, XP, and gathering all stay vanilla — the loop Funcom shipped is well-paced.
| Setting | Server | Vanilla | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friendly fire | 0× | 0.25× | Teammates can't damage each other |
| Crafting speed | 0.75× | 1.00× | 25% faster crafting timers |
| Wheel of Pain | 0.75× | 1.00× | 25% faster thrall conversion |
| Building decay | Disabled | Disabled | Bases never abandoned, no auto-demolish |
| Thrall decay | Disabled | Disabled | Followers don't disappear if you take a break |
| Living settlements | Enabled | Enabled | Workers wander, sleep, eat — immersion on |
Schedule
| When | Event |
|---|---|
| Daily · 04:00 CT | Server restart. RCON broadcasts at T−5 min, T−1 min, T−10 s. Save snapshot taken before stop. Back online within 60 s. |
| All other hours | Always PvE. No combat between players, no building damage from other players, no decay. |
Conan Exiles has known memory creep over multi-day uptime — a UE5-engine quirk Funcom hasn't fully eliminated. The 04:00 CT restart keeps it bounded; you'll be reconnected within a minute. If you're mid-fight or mid-craft when the warnings hit, find a wall first.
Backups
Five tiers stacked, each closing the gap left by the next coarser one. A bad pull, a corrupted save, or a regretted decision rolls back to whichever tier matches the elapsed time. The last tier lives offsite for protection against host-level loss.
| Tier | Cadence | Coverage | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 min | 2.5 h | Engine rolling backups (30 slots) |
| 2a | 15 min | 24 h | Live SQLite snapshot, integrity-checked |
| 2b | Daily | 14 d | Full save tarball at restart |
| 3 | Daily | 7 d | System rsync with hardlinks |
| 4 | Daily | 14 d · 6 mo | Encrypted offsite to Cloudflare R2 (restic, auto-synced) |
Security
The server is not on the public internet. Access is gated by a private Tailscale/WireGuard mesh — the public IP rejects unsolicited traffic. Game ports bind to the private interface, never the public one.
| Public exposure | None — public IP rejects unsolicited traffic |
|---|---|
| Network access | Private Tailscale mesh only |
| Admin endpoints | Loopback-bound, never network-reachable |
| Authentication | Key-only; no shared or root logins |
| Maintenance | Auto-patched; redundant recovery on misbehavior |
Roadmap
No wipes planned. The world, your character, your bases, and your thralls are permanent — nothing about your progress is going away.
| Phase | What |
|---|---|
| Now | Vanilla Conan Exiles Enhanced. This server tracks Funcom's Enhanced patches as they ship. No reset on patch. |
| Mods | Holding off until Pippi, Hosav's UI, Emberlight, or equivalent ports cleanly to UE5/Linux. Re-evaluated monthly; community will be polled before anything is added. |
| Long-term | This world stays online and patched for as long as people are still actively playing on it. If a future Funcom event ever forces a fresh-world option, the legacy world stays available alongside. |
Translation — if you're invested in this world, keep playing. Patches don't reset the save. Mods, when they happen, won't either.
Joining
Three steps, about five minutes total. Vanilla server, no mod sync, no workshop dance, no version-mismatch boot screens. One install and you're in.
That install is Tailscale, the private WireGuard network Mozilla, OpenAI, and modern engineering teams run their own infrastructure on. On this server it means zero public exposure: no bot scans, no DDoS, latency stays tight, and the player list stays clean. You join the network once, and from then on Conan is just there.
| Step | What |
|---|---|
| 1 | Click the Tailscale share link in Discord to join the network. Free Tailscale account, about two minutes. |
| 2 | Install Tailscale, sign in, and you're on the network. (Quick check: ping 100.127.87.32. If it answers, you're set.) |
| 3 | Launch Conan Exiles: Play → Online → Direct Connect → 100.127.87.32:7777. Welcome in. |
