Installing the Dedicated Server
After installing, launch it. You’ll probably have to restart it a few times while it installs files and asks for internet permissions. You’ll know when its good to go when you get the message “Dedicated server loaded.”:
Configuring the Settings
C:\Users\(yourPCusername)\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForestDS:

If you don’t know what your user ID is, you can find it in the URL of your steam profile (unless you set it to have a custom URL):
For convenience, and so we don’t have to get into port forwarding, we’ll set the server to be a LAN server. In the same folder that the “ownerswhitelist” file was in, there’s a “dedicatedserver” file. Open it and change where it says “LanOnly” to ture:
Joining the Server
Go ahead and join it now.
Making Yourself Admin
Right now you’re an owner, not an admin, it’s the same as just hosing a game. What we need to do is close out the game and the server, and then remove your steam ID from the “ownerswhitelist” file. The server will remember that you have have privileges but aren’t an owner, making you an admin.
Launch the server again, join it, and bada bing bata boom you’re an admin. Which means you should have gotten the achievement the second you joined.
