Here you'll learn how to connect to your Stationeers server and change the most important settings.
Connecting
- Start the server on the server page with Start.
- Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console.
- In the game, connect via the multiplayer menu or direct connect using the address from the server page.
- The address (IP:Port) is shown at the top of your server page.
Important settings
You change these values in the Startup variables tab. Changes take effect on the next restart.
- Server name (
SERVER_NAME) – the name your server is displayed under. - World (
WORLD_NAME) – the map, e.g. Moon, Mars, Europa, Mimas, Vulcan, Venus or Loulan. - Max. players (
MAX_PLAYERS) – how many players can join at the same time (1–30). - Save name (
SAVE_NAME) – the save that is automatically loaded and saved on start. - Autosave (
AUTOSAVE) and Save interval (SAVE_INTERVAL) – autosave on/off and interval in seconds.
Good to know
- During setup, the server files are downloaded via Steam. The first start can therefore take a few minutes longer.
- If you change World or Save name, the server loads a different save on the next start. Create a backup in the Backups tab first.
