Enshrouded
Difficulty
When creating a world you pick a preset or set the values yourself. Default is highlighted.
RelaxedThis is the most relaxed and easiest preset. Enemy amount and difficulty are tuned down, while resource gain is increased. If you mainly love to build huge bases, this is the mode for you.
DefaultThis is a balanced preset and is recommended as first time experience for most players. Enemy amount and difficulty is challenging but not overwhelming.
SurvivalChoose this difficulty if the "Hard" preset is too forgiving. In “Survival”, you will gain less XP and have lower health. Additional survival mechanics like hunger are introduced.
HardIf you love a challenging combat experience, this preset is for you. There are more enemies in the game world, they attack more often and deal more damage.
