I would like to make a suggestion.   When you push out these minor updates ... would you PLEASE STOP replacing the serverconfig.xml files.      Ever frecking time I have to fix that on my dedicated server.

If there is no change to the xml for that file.... don't replace what we have.   Its really REALLY annoying.   

 
Easy solution. When you first start the game, copy the serverconfig.xml to serverconfig-world.xml where "world" is something meaningful to you. Your startup script should explicitly use this file during start up.

When you upgrade, the unused serverconfig.xml file gets blotted over, and your custom one remains the same, don't even have to touch your startup script.

 
Well, considering 20.4 added some new properties to that file, it had to wipe it. Though it does it every update I'm pretty sure.

Either do what Pernicious stated or at least make a copy that you can leave in the server's folder and when an update wipes it, just overwrite it with your copy. Takes like 2 seconds...

That´s not true for everyone it seems. My serverconfig.xml didn´t need any work after the update, everything worked as before, no wipe happened. Using G-Portal.

 
If they change a single character in the file, it's going to overwrite it when it updates..   that's just how it is.   How do you expect them to update anything if they can't change the files?

 Just make a copy of it so you can quickly copy over your changes to the new one.

I have a folder and copy over the xml files that I edit so if the game updates while I'm sleeping, I can edit over my changes quicker and without needing to try and remember everything off the top of my head.

But even if you backed yours up and copied it over the new one, it wouldn't work because they added new region commands.
