2. Enter App ID: `304930` (Unturned).
3. Add a memo (e.g., MyUnturnedServer) and click Create.
4. Copy the generated token.
5. Apply the token using one of the following methods:
- Control Panel: Paste the token into the GSLT field under your server's Startup tab.
- Config File: In
Servers/ServerID/Server/Commands.dat, add the line:
GSLT YourGeneratedTokenHere6. Save and restart your server.
