Important: Once the server has created a savegame, changes to the settings no longer work!
These are saved in the savegame, therefore the game ignores changed settings.
Important: You must set your server to Advanced Mode.
The server must then also remain in this mode, otherwise changes made in Advanced Mode will be reverted!
Tip: We recommend that you use a syntax checker for the JSon format.
If the syntax is not correct, the server will not start correctly.
