How to connect to your Foundry server

This article covers joining your PlayNHost Foundry server and what to give your friends.

1. Find your server address

1. Log in to the Client Area at https://playnhost.com/billing and open your Foundry service.
2. Note the IP / Hostname and Port. Foundry uses 3724 for the game by default and 27015 as the Steam query port.
3. If the panel lists two ports, the first is the game port and the second is the query port.

2. Start the server

1. Open the server in the Game Panel at https://panel.playnhost.com and click Start.
2. Watch the Console. The first start generates the world and takes a few minutes.

3. Join from the game

1. Launch Foundry.
2. Choose the multiplayer option and open the server browser.
3. Search for your server name, or use the direct connect field with IP:Port using the game port.
4. Enter the password if one is set.

4. Steam favourites

1. Open the Steam client, click View, then Game Servers.
2. On the Favorites tab click Add a Server and enter IP:QueryPort.
3. Select it and connect.

5. What to give your friends

• The IP and game port.
• The password, if you set one.
• A note that the server only appears in the public browser when it is set to public in the config.

If a player cannot connect, check the player limit, confirm the server has finished generating the world, and restart the server after a game update so it matches the clients. Open a ticket from Support with the exact error if it continues.
