There may come a time when you want to start over on a brand new world. Thankfully, resetting your server world is incredibly easy. You can choose to either delete your existing world or simply create a new one, which is useful if you ever want to return to your old world.

Changing your Server World

If you just want to change your world, rather than deleting it entirely this can be done easily using your server's Astroneer Server Settings file.

Step 1:

Access your control panel.

Step 2:

Click on Files.
