How to Find a Player’s EOS ID on a 7 Days to Die Server

In 7 Days to Die, the EOS ID serves as a unique identifier for each player. It is important for server admins to know a player's EOS ID, as it allows them to manage access, moderate player behaviour and apply server commands to specific users.

# Finding a Player's EOS ID via Console

If a player has recently connected to the server, you can check the server console to locate a player's EOS ID.

1. Login to your Server Console.
2. Navigate to your server console tab.
3. Search for the Player in the console and take note of the CrossId.

When a player connects to the server, you will see something similar to:

PlayerSpawnedInWorld (reason: EnterMultiplayer, position: 12 123 12): 
EntityID=171, PltfmId='Steam_12345678910', CrossId='EOS_0001234567890abcdefg', 
OwnerID='Steam_12345678910', PlayerName='Username', ClientNumber='2'

Here is the information that each value corresponds to::

• CrossId= - This will be the player's EOS ID.
• OwnerID= - This will be the player's Steam ID.
• PlayerName= - This will be the player's username.

# Finding a Player's EOS ID via players.xml

If a player is not online but has connected to the server, you can find their EOS ID in the players.xml file.

1. Login to your Server Console and navigate to the Files tab.

2. Navigate to your world file and open the players.xml file.
3. Locate the line that includes the Player's username and take note of the userid.

A players information will be displayed like this in the players.xml file:

<player platform="EOS" userid="0000001234567890abcdefg" 
nativeplatform="Steam" nativeuserid="12345678910" 
playername="Username" lastlogin="2024-11-15 17:49:30" 
position="-1255,61,239" />

• To find the player you need, locate the line that contains the player's username as the value for playername=.

• The player's EOS ID will be the userid= with EOS in front. For example, if the userid is userid="0000001234567890abcdefg" then the player's EOS ID will be EOS_0000001234567890abcdefg .

• You can also find the player's Steam ID under nativeuserid=.

Congratulations, you now know how to find a player’s EOS ID on a 7 Days to Die server. Whether you’re troubleshooting or managing your server, you are now all set to find those details like a pro.
