			== Resetting to a Fresh World ==
			On startup, the server loads the latest <code>.sav</code> file it finds there; if the folder is empty, it generates a new default world using the values currently in <code>DedicatedServer.ini</code>.

			To start over with a fresh world while keeping your server files and config intact:

			<syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
			# As the dragonwilds user, stop the server first (see Managing the Server below)

			# Clear the save folder and the server will generate a new world on next start.
			rm -rf ~/rs_server/RSDragonwilds/Saved/Savegames/*
			</syntaxhighlight>

			Then start the server normally (<code>sudo systemctl start dragonwilds</code>). A new world generates using the current <code>DefaultWorldName</code> and other values from <code>DedicatedServer.ini</code>.
