### Workshop maps as the starting map

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not set a Workshop map as the starting map until the server has downloaded it. If the map is not downloaded yet, the server aborts at `LoadMap` and fails to start.
{% endhint %}



Start the server on a stock map first, such as the default `KF-BioticsLab`, so it can download the Workshop items listed in `ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems`. Once the download has finished, the Workshop map can be used as the starting map by setting `defaultmap` in the LinuxGSM config.
