Managing a Destructible Ecosystem

The world of Embervale is built upon a fully destructible voxel engine, empowering players to sculpt mountains, excavate subterranean tunnels, and flatten terrain for massive architectural projects. However, unintentional landscaping errors or excessive terrain scarring can occasionally detract from your server’s aesthetic. Understanding the technical logic behind voxel persistence and regeneration is essential for maintaining a clean and navigable world environment. This guide walk you through the procedures for managing and restoring your server’s terrain.

Technical Persistence Logic

Enshrouded uses proximity-based logic to determine whether a terrain modification should be persistent or temporary.
Terrain modifications performed within the active radius of a Flame Altar are considered permanent. These changes are written directly to your world’s database and will not regenerate naturally, regardless of server uptime or player activity.

​
Procedure for Forcing a Terrain Reset

If you have encountered a significant landscaping error within a protected base zone and need to revert the terrain to its natural state, use the following technical workflow.
1

Deauthorize the Zone

Interact with the responsible Flame Altar and select “Extinguish Flame” to remove the territorial protection. This immediately converts the permanent voxel data into volatile data.
2

Evacuate the Sector

Ensure all players leave the localized area (chunk). The engine requires the sector to be unloaded from memory to initialize the regeneration logic.
3

Initialize Engine Reboot

Navigate to the Game Panel and Restart your server.
4

Verify Restoration

Rejoin the server and inspect the coordinates. The terrain will have materialized in its original, untouched form.

​
Building Stability & Structural Loss

Forcefully resetting the terrain via altar removal is a destructive action. Any player-placed structures (walls, roofs, furniture) within that radius will lose their stability and protection data. Only initialize this procedure if you are prepared to completely reconstruct any architectural assets in that specific zone.
