Hurtworld: connect to and set up your server

Here's how to connect to your Hurtworld 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. Open the console in Hurtworld (F1) and enter connect IP:Port – or use the server list.

Important settings

In the Startup variables tab:

• Max Players (MAX_PLAYERS) – Max players allowed on the server at one time.
• Server Name (HOSTNAME) – The name of your server in the public server list.
• Server Owner Guid (ADMINS) – Steam id of the server owner.
• Creative Mode (CREATIVE_MODE) – Turn creative mode on and off (free build). Value as 0 for off, 1 for on.

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

Good to know

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