Necesse: Connecting to and setting up your server

How to connect to your Necesse server and set the save, slots and password.

Here you'll learn how to connect to your Necesse server.

Connecting

  1. Start the server on the server page with Start.
  2. Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
  3. 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

  • Save name (SAVE_NAME) – name of the world that is loaded.
  • Player slots (SERVER_SLOTS) – how many players can join.
  • Server password (SERVER_PASSWORD) – optional password for joining.
  • Steam beta branch (SRCDS_BETAID) – only needed if you play a beta version.

You'll find further settings in the Files tab in cfg/server.cfg.

Changes to the Startup variables take effect on the next restart.

Good to know

  • Automatic updating (AUTO_UPDATE) is off by default. Turn it on if your game can no longer connect after an update.
