Good to know
- Settings are written into the server's settings file when the server starts, so restart the server after changing them. Hand edits to the fields that have a panel setting are overwritten at the next start, so change them in the panel. Max Connected Users is set by your plan and cannot be edited.
- The panel saves a value when you leave its field. If the value is not allowed, the panel tells you and keeps the old one.
- Passwords and tokens are not listed with a value. Each server starts with one set for you, or with none, as the row says. Set a password before you invite players if you want a private server.
