How to Connect to Your Stationeers Server

Stationeers servers are joined by address. Your server also has an update port, used for content, which players never type in.

Find your address

Open your server at https://panel.playnhost.com. The overview shows the IP and the ports assigned to SERVER_PORT and UPDATE_PORT. Players connect on SERVER_PORT.

Join the server

1. Launch Stationeers and choose Join Game.
2. Select the direct connect or Join by IP option.
3. Enter the address as 203.0.113.10:27016, using your own IP and port.
4. Enter the server password if one is set.
5. Connect.

That address line is what you send to your friends, along with the password.

The public list

Stationeers has a public server list, but it is slow and heavily filtered. A direct join by IP is faster and always works, so use the list only if you want strangers to find you.

The first start takes a while

A new server generates its world before it accepts anyone. Watch the panel console rather than the client.

If you cannot connect

• Check the panel console. Stationeers logs the world loading and then reports the server is ready.
• Confirm you used SERVER_PORT and not the update port.
• A version mismatch after a game update is refused. Restart the server so it pulls the new build, and check whether the server and your client are on the same branch, since Stationeers has a beta branch that is not compatible with the default one.
• If the password is rejected, check the config with the server stopped. Editing it while running loses the change.
