Barotrauma server settings explained
All 22 settings a Barotrauma server has on ToastHosting, as its Settings page shows them: what each one does, its default, and the values it takes. Where a setting has a name in the game's own configuration file, that name is shown next to it.

The ports a Barotrauma server uses
- 27015/UDP Game
- 27016/UDP Steam query
These are Barotrauma's standard ports. On ToastHosting each server gets ports of its own; the server page shows the address and port to join with, so there is nothing to forward.
