Building Boundaries in Embervale


Flame Altars serve as the heart of your base in Enshrouded, defining the protected buildable area and providing safe zones from the Shroud. However, there are inherent limits to how many altars a server can host simultaneously.

Current Technical Constraints

As of the current Early Access build:
  • Server-Wide Limit: The total number of Flame Altars is generally capped per server instance.
  • Configuration: There is currently no direct variable in enshrouded_server.json to hard-override this limit beyond the game’s intent.
  • Player Scaling: In many cases, the number of altars available is tied to the collective “Flame Level” progress of the server’s world.

Modifying Limits

Currently, the only way to significantly bypass the 20-30 base limit is through the use of dedicated mod frameworks or unofficial server wrappers. No official support exists yet for a “Build Anywhere” mode without limits.

Efficiency Suggestion

To maximize your server’s building potential, encourage players to group up. Shared Flame Altars allow multiple players to contribute to a single massive base rather than depleting the server’s altar quota on individual, smaller outposts.
