How To Join Your Astroneer Server

Connecting to yourĀ Astroneer dedicated server on Steam is simple! This guide will walk you through everything you need to know, from configuring your game settings to connecting to your server for the first time.

Before joining your Astroneer server, youā€™ll need to modify the Engine.ini file on your PC. This is necessary due to compatibility issues with servers hosted using Wine (like ours). If youā€™re not sure how to do this, please refer to our Getting Started guide for detailed instructions.

  1. Navigate to the Nodecraft Pro Panel for your Astroneer dedicated server.Ā 

  2. Start your server.

  3. Find your server's IP address in the Overview tab. It is located in the Server Information area.Ā

Note: Some players report that they need to create and join a single-player world first for the server list to update properly.

7. Once your server appears in the list, select it and click Join. If the server has a password, youā€™ll be prompted to enter it at this stage.

After a brief loading screen, you will be connected to the server but remain on the main menu screen. As an Admin/Owner, youā€™ll see the Server Admin tab, allowing you to configure the server as needed.

To begin playing, navigate to the CO-OP tab and select Join Game. Youā€™ll now begin your descent to the planet on your Astroneer server.
