How to Configure Your The Isle Evrima Server

Last updated: May 6, 2026

This guide shows you two ways to configure your The Isle Evrima server: the Game Panel for common settings, and the Game.ini configuration file for advanced options.

Basic Configuration via the Game Panel

Settings such as server name, player slots, and password are available directly in the panel — no file editing required.

  1. Log in to the NolimitHost Game Panel at https://panel.nolimithost.cc/ and select your server.
  2. Stop your server first — this ensures the changes are applied cleanly on the next start instead of being overwritten.
  3. In the left sidebar, click Startup.
  4. Edit the settings you would like to change.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Go back to the Console tab and start your server again to apply the changes.

Advanced Configuration via Game.ini

Game.ini is the main configuration file for your server. For deeper control over gameplay, day/night cycles, admin access, and more, edit it directly.

  1. Log in to the NolimitHost Game Panel at https://panel.nolimithost.cc/ and select your server.
  2. Stop your server first — this is important so the server doesn't overwrite your changes when it shuts down.
  3. In the left sidebar, click File Manager.
  4. Navigate to /TheIsle/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini.
  5. Edit the settings you would like to change (see reference table below).
  6. Save the file.
  7. Go back to the Console tab and start your server to apply the changes.
Important: Always stop your server before editing configuration files. Editing a running server's config can cause changes to be overwritten on shutdown.

Common Game.ini Settings

All settings below belong under the [/script/theisle.tigamestatebase] section in Game.ini.

Setting Default Description
AdminsSteamIDs (empty) SteamID64 (the long numeric ID for a Steam account) of admin players. Repeat the key for each admin. See the Add Admins guide.
AllowedClasses (all) Restrict which dinosaur species players can spawn as. Repeat per species. See the Allowed Dinosaurs guide.
ServerDayLengthMinutes 45 Length of in-game day in real-world minutes.
ServerNightLengthMinutes 20 Length of in-game night in real-world minutes.
Tip: If the time of day appears frozen on your server, it is usually caused by non-default day/night length values. Reset them to the defaults above to resolve the issue.
