Here's how to connect to your Archean server and adjust the most important settings.

Connecting

  1. Open the server page in the client area and click Start.
  2. Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
  3. Copy the address (IP:Port) at the top of the server page.
  4. Launch Archean and connect via the server list or directly with the address.

Important settings

In the Startup variables tab:

  • Server name (SERVER_NAME) – name on the public server page.
  • Game mode (GAME_MODE) – 0 = creative, 1 = adventure.
  • Online mode (ONLINE_MODE) – whether the server is publicly listed.
  • Password (PASSWORD) – password to join; empty = open.
  • Admins (ADMINS) – Steam IDs with admin rights, one per line.

Changes in the Startup variables tab take effect on the next restart.

Good to know

  • Only change entries marked [Experten] (expert) if you know what they do.
