These are the options on the Settings, Game Settings page of a PlayNHost Astroneer server, taken from the panel's own definitions. Rows marked read only are set by your plan or the server and cannot be changed.

Good to know
- Server Name, Server Password, Owner Steam Name, Owner Steam ID 64, Public IP and Max Players are written into the server's config file every time the server starts, so change them under Settings, then Game Settings, and restart the server. Anything you type over those values directly in the file is overwritten at the next start. Other settings in the config file should be edited only while the server is stopped, because edits made while it runs are lost.
- The panel saves a value when you leave its field. If the value is not allowed, the panel tells you and keeps the old one.
- Passwords and tokens are not listed with a value. Each server starts with one set for you, or with none, as the row says. Set a password before you invite players if you want a private server.
