Uploading a world to your Starbound server is quick and easy, whether you're continuing a single-player world or trying out a custom map.
Preparing Your Server for a Custom World

Note: Before proceeding with the next step, it’s recommended to backup your server and download this to your computer. - Access your server's FTP directory
- Navigate to
/storage/universe/. - Delete all the files in this folder.
Locating Your Universe Folder

- Access your Steam Library.
- Navigate to Starbound, right-click the game and click Properties…
- Navigate to Installed Files and click Browse…
- Navigate to
/storage/universe/.
Uploading Your Universe to The Server
Once you’ve located your Universe folder, you’re ready to upload this to the server. If you’re continuing from a Singleplayer world, ensure your game is closed before proceeding.
- Access your server's FTP directory.
- Navigate to
/storage/universe/inside your server. - Move all Universe files from your computer to the
/storage/universe/folder on your server.
