login as admin bu "enablecheats "PASS""
then type saveworld
How do you do that? I press tab and the console doesn't come up anymore?

the default is ~
Well ♥♥♥♥ I've pressed every key on my keyboard and can't find it, is there another way to save our progress?

it should be auto saving. the save command is normally used before testing out a potentially risky command.

Theory: they changed something about this yesterday if I'm not mistaken.

Search the forum for it, I think it's in one of the dev notes that they changed the default command to something like "admincheat"

Doesn't change the fact though that they seriously need to do some work on the server application to give way more feedback in the console and allow for commands to be entered there directly.

Havng to load a resource heavy game to admin a server is just nuts.

Having to load a networked game to do administration and debugging is just stupid.

If there's issue's that no one can connect, you have no choice but to hard exit the server and go from there.

Have you tried turning it off and back on to see, because i have not needed to save manually when relaunching a server.

How do you shut the server down normally? just close the server cmd?

No right now they need to work on completing the game after that they can start working on privet server management
