How to Set Up the Savage Wilds Map on a Conan Exiles Server (Legacy Branch and Enhanced Compatibility)

For the legacy Conan Exiles branch, install Savage Wilds with Workshop mod ID 2377569193, set ServerDefaultMap=/Game/Mods/Savage_Wilds/Savage_Wilds in Engine.ini, save, and restart the server. Every connecting player must use the same game branch, Savage Wilds build, other mods, and load order. The legacy Workshop item is currently marked removed and incompatible with Conan Exiles Enhanced, so verify a current Team WildCypher build and ID before deploying on the Unreal Engine 5 version.

Godlike.Host offers hosted Conan Exiles servers with its own game panel, SFTP access and free DDoS protection, if you would rather not host it yourself.

What Savage Wilds adds—and which version this guide covers

Savage Wilds is a full-size custom map from Team WildCypher. The project site describes a handmade world of approximately 36 km² with four factions, eight dungeons, caravan fast travel, seasonal systems, event systems, and recipes from the Exiled Lands plus most Isle of Siptah recipes. The project’s stated design goal is that “Nothing in the base game is altered.” In practical terms, it is a map-and-content mod rather than a replacement for Conan Exiles’ core rules.

This procedure covers the legacy PC server branch documented by current hosting instructions. Its Steam Workshop entry is titled (Legacy) Savage Wilds 1.5.63, uses Workshop/mod ID 2377569193, and is approximately 1.7 GB uncompressed. The Workshop page currently reports that the item was removed from the community and is incompatible with Conan Exiles Enhanced.

Funcom moved the PC game to Unreal Engine 5 in the Enhanced release on May 5, 2026. Funcom also notes that mod support depends on compatibility with the new version. Therefore, do not assume that the legacy ID, package, or map path works on Enhanced. Obtain the current Team WildCypher release information for the branch you intend to run, and use the legacy values below only when both server and clients are on the legacy branch.

Decide which server branch you are running

Legacy Conan Exiles

Use the legacy instructions when the server and all players are using the pre-Enhanced PC branch supported by the Workshop item described above. The values are:

• Workshop ID: 2377569193
• Map path: /Game/Mods/Savage_Wilds/Savage_Wilds
• Map configuration section: [/Script/EngineSettings.GameMapsSettings]

The server must be restarted after the mod and map settings are saved.

Conan Exiles Enhanced

Enhanced is the Unreal Engine 5 PC release dated May 5, 2026. The legacy Workshop listing explicitly says it is incompatible with Enhanced, so installing ID 2377569193 on an Enhanced server is not a supported plan. Look for a current Team WildCypher build that specifically names Enhanced support and provides its current distribution method and ID. Do not carry the legacy Engine.ini path over automatically; use the path supplied for that build.

Why the branch check comes first

A server can have a correctly typed ID and map path yet still fail if its executable branch and the clients’ branches differ. Treat “legacy versus Enhanced” as a prerequisite, not a troubleshooting detail. A client on one branch cannot be made compatible merely by changing the map field.

Prerequisites and preparation

Before changing files, gather the following:

• A Conan Exiles server running the same branch that your players will use.
• Permission to stop and start the server.
• Access to the host’s Workshop Mods/Mods settings or to the server’s files.
• A current Savage Wilds package for that branch. For the legacy procedure, this is the Workshop item identified by ID 2377569193 when it is available to your server and clients.
• A way to edit Engine.ini or the equivalent server-properties fields.
• The same Savage Wilds build, every additional server mod, and the same load order on each client.

Stop the server before editing its mod list or map settings. This prevents a running process from overwriting a file while you are saving it and gives the restart a clean opportunity to load the map.

Install Savage Wilds through a control panel

Control panels use different labels, but the documented workflow is the same: stop the instance, enter the Workshop ID, set the custom map, save, and restart.

1. Stop the server. Use the panel’s Stop, Shutdown, or equivalent control and wait until the process is fully offline.
2. Open the mod configuration. Go to the panel’s Workshop Mods, Mods, or equivalent field. Some panels expose this as a server-properties editor rather than a separate mod page.
3. Add the legacy Workshop ID. Enter 2377569193 as a Workshop Mod ID. Enter the number itself, not the Workshop URL and not the map path.
4. Open the map setting. Find the panel’s Map field or open the server’s Engine.ini editor. The setting must be placed under [/Script/EngineSettings.GameMapsSettings].
5. Set the map path exactly. Use /Game/Mods/Savage_Wilds/Savage_Wilds, preserving the capitalization, underscores, slashes, and absence of a file extension.
6. Save the configuration. If the panel has separate Save or Apply buttons for mods and properties, use both before starting the server.
7. Start the server and wait for the mod download. Workshop retrieval and first startup can take longer than a normal restart because the legacy package is approximately 1.7 GB uncompressed.
8. Join only after the server is fully ready. The first successful boot should load Savage Wilds as the default map rather than the previous map.

When the panel provides both fields in one server-properties file, the equivalent entries are:

Workshop Mod IDs: 2377569193
Map: /Game/Mods/Savage_Wilds/Savage_Wilds

The exact property labels vary by host, so use the panel’s displayed names. The values themselves do not change for the legacy branch.

Set the map directly in Engine.ini

If the panel does not expose a Map field, edit the server configuration directly. The relevant Windows server file is:

ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Engine.ini

Add or edit the following section:

[/Script/EngineSettings.GameMapsSettings]
ServerDefaultMap=/Game/Mods/Savage_Wilds/Savage_Wilds

• Keep the section header in square brackets exactly as shown.
• Use one ServerDefaultMap line in that section; remove an older value if the file contains a conflicting one.
• Do not add quotation marks, a trailing .pak, or a filesystem drive path. This is an Unreal asset path, not the location of the downloaded mod file.
• Save the file while the server is stopped, then restart the server.

Funcom identifies Engine.ini and ServerSettings.ini as the key Conan Exiles server configuration files. Savage Wilds’ default-map value belongs in Engine.ini under the map-settings section shown above; ordinary gameplay settings belong in their own configuration areas.

Self-hosted installation when no panel is available

Install and initialize the dedicated server

Install the official Conan Exiles Dedicated Server from Steam tools and run it once. The first launch creates the WindowsServer configuration directory, including the location used for Engine.ini. Stop the process before making the mod changes.

Deploy the mod files

For manual deployment, Conan Exiles’ technical manual instructs administrators to place each server mod’s .pak file in:

Rank #3

Conan Exiles - Day One Edition PS4

• Explore a giant world, from the burning desert in the South to the snow-capped mountains in the North
• stay warm, cool yourself down, drink and eat, weather scouring sandstorms, prevent your mind from being corrupted when exploring dark dungeons, and battle vicious monsters to stay alive
• harvest resources to craft tools and weapons, then build anything from a small home to entire cities piece by piece

Buy on Amazon

ConanSandbox/Mods

List the mod filenames one per line in:

modlist.txt

The technical manual requires the client to have the same mods and load order to connect. Keep the filename spelling and line order identical between the server’s modlist.txt and the client’s active mod list. Do not substitute the Workshop ID for a filename in this file; the ID belongs in a Workshop-aware control panel, while manual deployment uses the downloaded .pak filenames.

Set the default map

Use the same Engine.ini section and value as the panel method:

[/Script/EngineSettings.GameMapsSettings]
ServerDefaultMap=/Game/Mods/Savage_Wilds/Savage_Wilds

Save the mod list and map configuration, then start the server. A self-hosted setup gives you direct control over files, but you are responsible for obtaining a branch-compatible package, keeping the package and load order synchronized, and maintaining the server process and network environment.

Control panel or self-hosting?

Choose a panel when you want labeled Workshop and Map fields and less direct file maintenance. Choose self-hosting when you need full control over package files, modlist.txt, and configuration. Neither method resolves the Enhanced incompatibility reported for the legacy Workshop item.

Prepare clients before they connect

Server installation is only half of the setup. A player can be rejected even when the server starts normally if the local mod state differs.

1. Match the game branch. Use legacy on both sides for the legacy package, or use Enhanced on both sides only with a build that explicitly supports Enhanced.
2. Install the same Savage Wilds build. For the legacy branch, that means the same Workshop item/version represented by ID 2377569193 when available.
3. Match every additional mod. The client must have all server mods, not only Savage Wilds.
4. Match load order. Keep the same order as the server’s Workshop configuration or modlist.txt.
5. Restart the game client after changing mods. This ensures the client rebuilds its active mod list before attempting to join.

If the server reports a mod mismatch, compare the branch, Workshop IDs, package versions, and ordering first. Changing ServerDefaultMap will not correct a client-side mod mismatch.

Troubleshooting by symptom

The server starts on the wrong map

• Confirm that ServerDefaultMap is under [/Script/EngineSettings.GameMapsSettings], not under an unrelated section.
• Check the value character by character: /Game/Mods/Savage_Wilds/Savage_Wilds.
• Remove or replace a duplicate ServerDefaultMap entry that points to another map.
• Save the configuration while the server is stopped and perform a full restart.

The server cannot find the mod

• On a control panel, verify that 2377569193 is in the Workshop Mods field and that the host actually supports the legacy branch.
• On a self-hosted server, verify that the Savage Wilds .pak is in ConanSandbox/Mods and that its exact filename appears on its own line in modlist.txt.
• Check available storage and allow time for the approximately 1.7 GB uncompressed legacy package to download and unpack.
• Confirm that you did not install the legacy package on Enhanced, which the Workshop page marks incompatible.

A player receives a mod-mismatch error

• Compare legacy versus Enhanced branch selection.
• Compare the Savage Wilds Workshop ID or package version on server and client.
• Compare every additional mod and the exact load order.
• On a manually managed server, compare the server’s modlist.txt lines with the client’s active mod list.

The panel has no Workshop or Map field

Use the panel’s file manager or configuration editor to open ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Engine.ini. If the host does not permit mod-file access or does not offer the legacy branch, the documented legacy procedure cannot be completed there; choose a host that exposes the required settings or self-host the dedicated server.

The map path looks like a normal Windows folder

Do not convert the Unreal asset path into a drive path. /Game/Mods/Savage_Wilds/Savage_Wilds is the map asset reference that belongs in ServerDefaultMap. The Windows folder used for manual mod files is a separate location: ConanSandbox/Mods.

Updating, changing branches, or removing Savage Wilds

Updating within the legacy branch

Keep the server and clients on the same build. A control panel may retrieve Workshop updates automatically, but the host’s behavior and continued access to the removed legacy item must be verified. With manual deployment, replace the server package only when you can distribute the same build to every client, then confirm the modlist.txt filename and order.

Moving from legacy to Enhanced

Do not treat an Enhanced game update as a routine mod update. The legacy Workshop page reports incompatibility, so wait for a Team WildCypher package that explicitly supports Enhanced and follow that package’s current ID, installation method, and map path. Update the server and all clients as one coordinated change.

Removing the map

Stop the server, remove the Savage Wilds entry from the panel or manual mod list, and change ServerDefaultMap to the map asset you intend to run. For self-hosting, remove the corresponding .pak from ConanSandbox/Mods only after it is no longer listed in modlist.txt. Restart before asking clients to connect.

Final deployment checklist

• Server and clients are on the same Conan Exiles branch.
• You verified that the Savage Wilds build is intended for that branch.
• Legacy deployment uses Workshop ID 2377569193 only when that legacy item is available.
• Engine.ini contains [/Script/EngineSettings.GameMapsSettings] and ServerDefaultMap=/Game/Mods/Savage_Wilds/Savage_Wilds.
• Self-hosted deployment places the .pak in ConanSandbox/Mods and lists its filename in modlist.txt.
• All additional mods and their load order match on server and clients.
• The server was stopped while files were edited and restarted afterward.
• You allowed time for the legacy package’s download and first startup.
• You have not assumed that the legacy Workshop item works with Enhanced.

The reliable legacy recipe is therefore straightforward—install ID 2377569193, set the exact Savage Wilds map asset in Engine.ini, restart, and synchronize every client—but the compatibility warning is decisive. Because the old Workshop listing is removed and marked incompatible with Enhanced, verify the current Team WildCypher release before committing a live server to either branch.
