Expedition Control

Set how cruel tonight’s expedition should be, then launch a server for that map. Two games can run at once, each in its own panel below — the server’s settings are what everyone actually plays, the lobby only advertises.

Server 1

Unknown

Which expedition

The map this game will load. The server restarts into it.

Start from a profile

A starting point. Adjust anything below afterwards.

Conditions

Values matching the game’s own default are left out of the launch entirely.

Thralls

Traitors hidden in the crew. Zero makes the expedition purely co-operative.

thralls
gentler harsher
Boiler fuel burn

How fast the boiler eats coal. Lower means the coal you find lasts longer.

coalburnrate
gentler harsher
Hunger

How quickly the crew starves.

hungerrate
gentler harsher
Cold

How savagely the cold bites away from a fire.

coldintensity
gentler harsher
Predator damage

Damage dealt by wolves and bears.

predatordamage
gentler harsher
Length of a day

Minutes of daylight. Longer days give newcomers room to learn.

dayminutes
harsher gentler
Days before the blizzard

How long until the weather turns. Later means a gentler endgame.

daysbeforeblizzard
harsher gentler

Crew size

Maximum players, 1–8.

Mods

Extra behaviour from the server mod. Off unless ticked.

Thralls start with all spells

Every spell available from the start. Charge is earned as normal.

allspells
Assign roles randomly

Roles are dealt at random, so nobody picks. The card phase still runs.

autoroles
Thralls start with charge

Starting spell charge tier. Tier 1 is enough for a tier-one spell such as Hush.

startcharge
Director (server-side antagonist)

The server plays an invisible thrall: cannibal calls, whiteouts, hush, poisoned food, jammed wheel and doors, hull leaks, wolves, phantom sounds and more, following one of twelve strategies. Works with thralls or with thralls set to 0. Mild / Normal / Brutal sets how often and how hard.

Launch

Connect the lobby to
216.201.76.195

The port is picked fresh for each game and appears here once the server has started. Enter it in the dialog’s port box — it is not 7777, so leaving that box empty will not connect.
