I know this post is old, but I seek everywhere to find out this -> How do you set up the server to do this? We also want the Fog of War back and explore the maps ourself.

You u need to find the file: GameUserSetting.ini
First make it NOT readable only.
Change what u need and after saved the file, turn READ ONLY on again.

Below:
[/game/primalearth/coreblueprints/testgamemode.testgamemode_c]

You have to put:
bDisableFogOfWar=False

False will have Fog of War and true will not.
BUT u have to know after u enabled this setting, to turn it back again, u will have to wipe all ur server data =(
Idk if now a day is possible disable again without need wipe all server, but at least the last time i tried it is not.

I don't get it, the gray cloud covering the whole map is there when I start a new single player, but not on my dedicated server.
I have a dedicated server if that has anything to do with the procedure.
I may have misunderstood what fog of war is, but it is the gray cloud that appears when starting a new single player that I want to have on the server so that the players can explore themselves and have exploration activated on the islands and see this when they have been on the islands, and that the road and the islands they have been on remain visible after they have gone from there to a new place.

Yes.

You have to change the GameUserSetting.ini for every grid u have (if i am not mistake) as I told U before, and set the value to False:
bDisableFogOfWar=False
