FOUNDRY: connect to and set up your server

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

Connecting

Open the server page in the client area and click Start.
Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
Copy the address (IP:Port) at the top of the server page.
Launch FOUNDRY and connect via the server list or directly with the address. Alternatively add the IP with the query port (Ports tab) in Steam under View → Game servers → Favourites.

In the Startup variables tab:

[SERVER] Server Name (SERVER_NAME) – This is the name of the server listed in the Steam server browser.
[SERVER] Server World Name (WORLD_NAME) – Sets the server world name. This is the folder where the save files will be stored.
[SERVER] Server Password (SRV_PW) – Sets the server password.
[SERVER] Pause Server When Empty (PAUSE_SERVER) – Will the server pause when nobody is connected.
[SERVER] Autosave Interval (AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL) – Sets the autosave frequency in seconds.
[SERVER] Server Public (PUBLIC_SERVER) – Sets whether the server is listed on the Steam server browser.
[SERVER] Map Seed (MAP_SEED) – Sets the map seed used to generate the world.

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

The first start takes longer because the server files are downloaded and set up.
