Payment is monitored automatically. Once confirmed, your application will be deployed, and a blue Manage button will appear—directing you to your application’s management panel.
⚠️ Important: FLUX Payments
FLUX payments are only accepted via the FLUX Mainnet, not through any of our EVM tokens.
We ALSO strongly recommend not sending FLUX payments from exchanges, as:
Transactions or withdrawals may not complete within the required 30-minute window.
Many exchanges do not support adding a MEMO, which is required for proper payment processing.
Finding our your IP of the Game Server
Flux runs on a decentralized network, meaning your application is deployed across three instances. For game servers, a Primary/Standby setup is used — your game runs on the primary instance, while others are on standby for redundancy.
To find your server’s primary IP address:
Visit cloud.runonflux.com and log in.
Go to Applications → Management.
Click the Settings icon on your Enshrouded Server.
Open the Instances tab.
The Primary IP address is shown here.
You can also view geolocation details for all instances.

Adding Your Server to Steam Favorites

In the Game Servers window, go to the Favorites tab.
Click the “+” icon in the bottom-right corner.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I update my game server to the latest version?
Your Palworld server automatically checks for updates during startup and at regular intervals. If you’d like to update immediately, you can do so from your application’s management panel.
Simply open the Applications → Management section on FluxCloud, select your Palworld server, and go to the Control tab. From there, choose Global and click Restart Application. This will redeploy your server with the latest available version.
What happens if the primary server goes down?
If your current primary server becomes unavailable or experiences downtime, one of the standby instances automatically takes over as the new primary after a short delay. All your game data remains intact, so you can continue right where you left off once the switch is complete. You can check which instance is currently the primary from your application’s management panel under the Instances tab.
Can I change the game server settings and/or setup a password to connect to my game server?
Yes, you can customize your Enshrouded server settings just like on a standard VPS. Please note that basic terminal and Linux proficiency is required for this process.
Go to Applications → Management, select the settings icon to manage your Palworld server, and open the Secure Shell tab. Select the Enshrouded component, choose bin/bash, and click Connect.
Once connected:
Update your package lists with:
apt updateInstall the Nano text editor (only required once after purchase):
apt install nanoNavigate to the game server directory:
cd /opt/enshrouded/server/Open the configuration file for editing:
nano enshrouded_server.jsonYou can now modify settings such as the server name, player limit, or password directly in this file. When finished, save your changes with Ctrl + S, then exit Nano using Ctrl + X.
After editing, open the Control tab in your management panel, select Global, and click Restart Application to apply your new settings.
⚠️ Important: Be cautious when modifying configuration values — incorrect changes may prevent your game server from functioning properly.
What if a new version of the game server is released and my server doesn't update automatically?
Your server normally updates itself automatically during startup or periodic checks. However, if it hasn’t updated yet, a simple restart from the management panel will trigger the update and ensure you’re running the latest version.
