Here you'll learn how to connect to your Avorion server and set up the galaxy.
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 multiplayer menu or direct connect using the address (IP:Port) at the top of your server page.
Important settings
- Server name (
SERVER_NAME) – the name in the server list. - Galaxy name (
GALAXY_NAME) – name of the galaxy that will be created. - Admin ID (
ADMIN_ID) – your Steam64 ID so you become server admin. - Difficulty (
DIFFICULTY) – values from -3 to 3, default 0. - List publicly (
SERVER_LISTED) – whether the server appears in public server lists. - Same start sector (
SAME_START_SECTOR) – whether all players start in the same sector.
Changes to the Startup variables take effect on the next restart.
Good to know
- If possible, enter your Admin ID before the first start.
- On first start, the server downloads the game files. This can take a few minutes – please don't interrupt it.
