ServerHostSettings.json: Server name, password, ports, slot count
ServerGameSettings.json: Gameplay rules (damage, gather rates, raid windows)
AdminUsers.txt: Admin SteamID64 list
BanUsers.txt: Banned SteamID64 list

Raid Windows (PvP-Specific)

The CastleDamageMode and related fields control when raids can happen. Most PvP servers schedule raid windows so offline players are not destroyed:

"OfflineRaidProtection": "Enabled",
