Big news for survival enthusiasts! The upcoming 1.0 update for SCUM is set to revolutionize how server owners and players interact with the brutal prison island. From accessible server files to custom quest creation, here’s everything you need to know about this game-changing update.
SCUM 1.0: Server Files and Customization Unleashed
Fresh from the developers at Gamepires, the 1.0 update for SCUM is just around the corner, and it’s packing some serious tools for server owners. For the first time, server files will be available directly through Steam’s tools section for all game owners. This means you can host your own slice of TEC01 chaos without jumping through extra hoops.
However, heads up—existing server settings and .ini files will need a full reset with this update. Make sure to back up your current configurations before diving in. JSON files will still function, though some edits might be necessary due to renamed blueprints in economy or loot systems. Custom zones? They’re getting a complete wipe, so plan accordingly.
Enhanced Control for Server Admins
For those without direct server access, you’re not left out. Server providers can now share settings and JSON files upon request. Plus, if Battleye isn’t your thing, server owners have the option to launch without it. Need help tweaking settings? The official SCUM Discord offers resources, including a dedicated JSON channel and in-game UI for admins.
What’s New with Quest Modification?
One of the most exciting additions in 1.0 is the quest modification JSON. Server owners can now craft unique quests for their communities, adding fresh challenges to the prison island grind. Two resources—a detailed guide and a visual tool by Kuriisu (aka Trohi)—are available on Discord to help you get started. Check them out here.
From the perspective of a grizzled prisoner like Machete, this update means more ways to earn Fame Points and survive the BCU’s cruel experiments. Whether you’re a server admin or a lone survivor, these changes are set to deepen the hardcore realism that defines this game. Stay tuned for more updates on the brutal world of TEC01!
