Map Selection: Exiled Lands, Siptah, and Savage Wilds

Available Maps

Conan Exiles supports multiple maps, each with its own world state and save database:

Setting the Active Map

The map is set via the ServerDefaultMap entry in Engine.ini or as a startup command line argument.

In Engine.ini:

[/Script/EngineSettings.GeneralProjectSettings]
ServerDefaultMap=/Game/ConanSandbox/Maps/ConanSandbox_Terrain

Alternatively, pass the map path directly in the startup command:

ConanSandboxServer-Win64-Shipping.exe /Game/ConanSandbox/Maps/ConanSandbox_Terrain -log

For Isle of Siptah:

ConanSandboxServer-Win64-Shipping.exe /Game/DLC_EXT/DLC_Siptah/Maps/DLC_Isle_of_Siptah -log

Per-Map Save Databases

Each map writes to its own save file:

ConanSandbox/Saved/game.db          # Exiled Lands
ConanSandbox/Saved/DLC_Siptah.db    # Isle of Siptah

Savage Wilds (mod map) uses its own save file as defined by the mod — check the mod documentation for the exact filename.

Switching maps does not delete or overwrite the other map's database. Progress on each map is preserved independently when you switch back.

Switching Maps

1. Stop the server.
2. Update ServerDefaultMap in Engine.ini to the target map path, or update the startup argument in the panel.
3. Start the server.

The server will load the corresponding save database for the selected map. If no save exists for that map yet, a fresh world is generated.

Isle of Siptah Requirements

Isle of Siptah is paid DLC. For the server:

• The server itself does not require a separate DLC license — the DLC map files are included in the dedicated server install (App ID 443030).
• Players connecting must own Isle of Siptah DLC on their Steam account to join a Siptah server.

Savage Wilds Setup

Savage Wilds is a Workshop mod map. In addition to the map path, you must:

1. Download the Savage Wilds .pak file (Workshop ID 2377569193).
2. Place it in ConanSandbox/Mods/.
3. Add it to modlist.txt:

   *Savage_Wilds.pak
   

4. Set the map path in Engine.ini to the map path specified in the Savage Wilds mod documentation (refer to the mod's Steam Workshop page for the exact path, as it may differ from base maps).

Savage Wilds uses its own .db file. Back it up before removing the mod.

Running Multiple Maps

You cannot run multiple maps on a single server instance. To offer players multiple map choices, run separate server instances, each configured for a different map, on different port sets.
