How to Set the Island ID on Your Windrose Server ​

The island ID determines which world your server loads on startup. If no island ID is set, the server automatically loads the most recent save. If you want to continue with a specific older world, you can enter its island ID here.

Find the island ID ​

1. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

2. Open the worlds directory
   Navigate to the following directory. Each saved world has its own folder here:

   /R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB_v2/<GameVersion>/Worlds/

   /R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB_v2/<GameVersion>/Worlds/

   Note

   <GameVersion> is the game version the world was created with — e.g. 0.10.0. If you see multiple versions, open the correct one.

3. Identify the island ID
   The folder name of each world is the island ID. Example:

   /R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB_v2/0.10.0/Worlds/A1b2C3d4E5

   /R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB_v2/0.10.0/Worlds/A1b2C3d4E5

   In this example the island ID is A1b2C3d4E5.

4. Match the world (optional)
   To make sure you assign the correct folder to the correct world, open the WorldDescription.json file inside the world folder. The display name is shown under the WorldName field.

Set the island ID in the dashboard ​

1. Open dashboard
   Open the dashboard of your server.

2. Open settings
   Navigate to the Settings.

3. Set island ID
   Enter the island ID from the world folder in the Island ID field and save the setting.

4. Restart the server
   Restart your server for the change to take effect.
