Here you'll learn how to set up your Astroneer server and connect to it.
Connecting
- Start the server on the server page with Start.
- Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
- In the game, connect via the server browser or by adding a dedicated server using the address (IP:Port) at the top of your server page.
Important settings
- Server name (
SERVER_NAME) – the displayed name. - Public IP (
PUBLIC_IP) – the IP players connect through. Enter the IP from your server page here. - Owner name (
OWNER_NAME) – your Steam username as the server owner. - Owner Steam ID (
OWNER_GUID) – your Steam ID. - Server password (
SERVER_PWD) – if set, players need this password.
You'll find further settings in the Files tab in Astro/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/AstroServerSettings.ini and Astro/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Engine.ini.
Changes to the Startup variables take effect on the next restart.
Good to know
- On first start, the server downloads the game files. This can take a few minutes – please don't interrupt it.
