  1. 🛠️ SCUM Admin Guide – How to Add Yourself as an Admin

    This guide walks you through the full process of giving yourself (and others) admin access on a SCUM server using the SCUM.db file.

    ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Back Up Your Database Before Editing

    Before you make any changes to your SCUM.db file:

    1. Create a backup copy of the original file you downloaded from the server.
      • Right-click the file and choose Copy, then Paste it in the same folder.
      • Rename it to something like:SCUM_backup.db
    2. This ensures you can restore your server to its previous state if something goes wrong.

    🛑 Never edit your only copy of the database — always work from a backup!


    📋 What You’ll Need

    • ✅ DB Browser for SQLite – Free tool to edit your server’s database.
    • ✅ FTP Client (e.g., FileZilla or WinSCP) – To access your server files.
    • ✅ Your Steam64 ID – Find it at steamid.io.

    🛑 Step 1: Shut Down the Server

    1. Log into your server control panel.
    2. Click Stop Server to safely shut it down.Important: This step prevents data corruption when editing the database.

    📁 Step 2: Download SCUM.db

    1. Open your FTP client and connect to your server.
    2. Navigate to the directory:/SCUM/Saved/SaveFiles/
    3. Download the file named:SCUM.db
    4. Save it somewhere accessible on your PC.

    🧰 Step 3: Open the Database

    1. Launch DB Browser for SQLite.
    2. Click “Open Database” and select the SCUM.db file you downloaded.

    💻 Step 4: Add Admins via SQL

    1. Click the “Execute SQL” tab.
    2. To add yourself, enter the following (replace with your own Steam64 ID):INSERT INTO elevated_users (user_id) VALUES ('76561198412044824')
    3. To add multiple admins in one command, use:INSERT INTO elevated_users (user_id) VALUES ('76561198412044824'),('76561198000000000'),('76561198012345678')
    4. Click the ▶️ “Execute” button.

    ✅ Step 5: Confirm the Admins Were Added

    1. Click the “Browse Data” tab.
    2. In the table drop-down at the top, select:elevated_users
    3. You should see your Steam64 ID(s) listed.

    💾 Step 6: Save and Upload Back to Server

    1. In DB Browser, click:File → Write Changes
      or use the 💾 Save icon.
    2. Close the program.
    3. Reopen your FTP client and go to:/SCUM/Saved/SaveFiles/
    4. Upload your modified SCUM.db file, overwriting the original.
    5. Return to your server control panel and start the server.

    🎉 You're Now an Admin!

    Please could you refund my payment? Based on distance selling rights, I paid for a service that did not work, therefore due a refund. 

    It looks like your name was different than what the forum was. You should be taken care of now.

    The main page says Sunkenland is one of the games they have servers for, but it doesn't look like they do.  

    Currently we are not offering it. I will get with Ryan thou to update him that you are interested and to see if anything has changed.

    Is there an update for this?  The main page says you host Sunkenland, but I don't see a way to actually rent the server.  

    Currently there is no update on this as of yet as we are still waiting for some stable updates to be pushed out. The current way things are makes the server joining process almost impossible at times.

    Where can I change the number of players on the server from 100 to 50?

    We can get this fixed up for you within a ticket. Simply send a ticket in letting us know which slot count you would like to drop down to and we can get it set on the back end.

    I can get this manually set for you if you would like? Simply send a ticket in and I can get the files set up with the lines. I sadly do not have an eta as of yet.
