How to Reset Your Icarus Server

Resetting an Icarus dedicated server involves clearing or deleting certain data files and settings to revert the server to its original state. This process can help if you’re troubleshooting or just want to restart your game world from scratch. Here’s how to reset your Icarus server step-by-step.

Backup Important Data

Before proceeding with a reset, it’s a good idea to back up any important data, such as player information, session progress, or configurations. If you don't need to keep any data, feel free to skip this step.

Stop the Server

Always stop your Icarus game server before making any changes, including resetting your progress or deleting a Prospect. This helps prevent file corruption or incomplete deletions during the reset.

Create Backup

1. Open the Nodecraft Pro Panel for your Icarus game server.

2. Navigate to the Backups tab.

3. Click the Create Backup button.

4. Wait for the process to complete before proceeding.
   Note: The backup process will vary in length depending on the size of the server files you are backing up!

Full Reset

To complete a full reset of your server back to brand new state, navigate to the One-Click Installer tab and select the Fresh Install option.

Reset Specific Files

Delete Saved Game Data

To reset the game world and player progress, you need to delete the relevant save files from the server.

1. Go to the Server Files tab within the Nodecraft Pro Panel.

2. Navigate to the following directory:
   /Icarus/Saved/PlayerData/DedicatedServer/Prospects

3. Delete the prospect.json files you want to remove.

Delete Configuration Files (Optional)

If you also want to reset settings like difficulty, mods, or game rules, you may also want to clear or edit the configuration files.

1. Go to the Server Files tab within the Nodecraft Pro Panel.

2. Navigate to the following directory: /Icarus/Saved/Config/WindowsServer

3. Find the ServerSettings.ini config file and either Edit to modify the settings or Delete to remove it entirely.

Start the Server

After deleting the necessary files, restart your Icarus dedicated server. The server will regenerate new game files, giving you a fresh start!

Let the Adventure Begin!

Now that you've successfully reset your Icarus server, it’s time to jump back into the action! Whether you’re launching new prospects or experimenting with different settings, enjoy the thrill of a brand-new game world. Happy exploring!
