How to Enable a Whitelist on your Astroneer server

Astroneer is a very cooperative PvE game, where working closely with fellow players is key to exploring the world around you. As a result, you may want to secure your server to only allow people you trust to join it. Enabling a whitelist will stop uninvited players from joining your server.

In order to enable a whitelist and add players to it, you will need to be the server's owner

Enabling a Whitelist

Your server's whitelist can be enabled while in-game by using the Server Admin menu.

  1. Press ESC to open the in-game menu.
  2. Click the Server Admin icon.
  3. Check the Allow Only Whitelisted Players To Join box.

Adding Players to Whitelist

Once you have enabled whitelisting, you will need to allow certain players to join. This can be done from the same Server Admin menu.

  1. Navigate to the Server Admin menu.
  2. Click Add Player To Whitelist.
  3. Enter the player's Steam name, then click Whitelist Player.
