Getting Started with your Astroneer server

Before You Begin

Unfortunately, due to a compatibility issue, you will need to configure a game setting on your client. Thankfully, this should only take 2 minutes!

  1. Make sure you have completed the first-time setup for Astroneer.
  2. Navigate to  %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Astro\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor.
  3. Open Engine.ini with a text editor, we recommend Notepad++.
  4. Insert the following to the bottom of the file:
    [SystemSettings] 
    net.AllowEncryption=False
  5. Save and you can now join your server!

Getting Started

Players can work together to build custom bases and vehicles and use terrain to create anything they can imagine. A player’s creativity and ingenuity is the key to thriving on exciting planetary adventures!
