Where is ServerSettings.ini on a Linux server?

SCUM only ships a Windows server: the path stays SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/ServerSettings.ini (through Wine/Proton if hosted on Linux).

Why is my server name overwritten at start?

Some hosting panels rewrite scum.ServerName, scum.WelcomeMessage, etc. on every start: change them in the panel (Startup tab) rather than in the file.

How to use SCUM ServerSettings.ini generator?

SCUM stores its settings in SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/ServerSettings.ini, with scum.* keys split into [General], [World], [Respawn] and [Features] sections. This tool only writes the keys you fill in; the others keep the game's value.

Start the server once, then stop it: it generates its own full ServerSettings.ini (the key list changes with each update).
Import that file into the tool (optional); known keys are loaded.
Fill in the keys you want; leave empty to keep the game default.
Copy only the relevant lines into your ServerSettings.ini (server stopped).
Restart the server.
