> The "Clan Size" limit is the single most important variable for defining your server's gameplay style. A limit of **1-2** encourages a hardcore, stealthy survival experience, while a limit of **10** creates massive "Zerg" wars where armies clash over territory.

## Configuration

This setting is controlled via the central settings file.

1. **Navigate:** Go to `/save-data/Settings/` via your File Manager.
2. **File:** Open `ServerGameSettings.json`.
3. **Variable:** Locate `"ClanSize"`.
4. **Values:**
   * `1`: Solo Only (No teaming allowed mechanics-wise).
   * `2`: Duos (Popular for competitive PvP).
   * `4`: Standard Squad (Default).
   * `10`: Maximum recommended for public servers.

## Mechanic Implications

Changing the clan size affects more than just the roster count:

* **Research Sharing:** Clan members share all unlocked technologies. In a 10-person clan, one player can research Iron Weapons, and all 9 others instantly learn it.
* **Castle Access:** Only clan members can interact with a Castle Heart or open secure chests inside a base.
* **Voice Chat:** Clans have a dedicated private voice channel in-game.

<Note>
  ### Mid-Wipe Changes

  You can change the Clan Size on an active server without wiping. However, if you **reduce** the size (e.g., from 10 to 4), existing large clans will remain intact but will likely encounter bugs when trying to invite new members or manage their roster.
