If your server isn’t with us here at Nodecraft, and on Windows, this file is typically in the `C:\\Users\\YourUsername\\AppData\\LocalLow\\SKS\\TheForestDedicatedServer`.

### Edit the `server.cfg` File

Select the `server.cfg` file and click the Edit button.

Find or add the following setting:

```
TreeRegrowMode

### Save and Restart the Server
