Multiplayer, Steam & Server Admin

Map / Steam / LAN / IP:Port selection appears only at game start.
It is not bound to a key in-game (M is reserved for the world map).

Steam

Steam Client must be running.
Dev AppId is 480 (Spacewar) in Config/DefaultEngine.ini — replace with your own AppId for release.
In the menu choose Backend Steam or Auto.
Host on one PC, Find Steam on the other.

LAN/IP works without Steam (Backend LAN or Direct Connect).

Direct Connect

IP: 192.168.x.x
Port: 7777

Or console: open 192.168.x.x:7777

Dedicated Server Web Admin

On headless / dedicated start, admin UI binds to AdminHttpPort (default 8080):

http://192.168.178.129:8080

Default password: vocation (change in Config/ServerConfig.ini).

You can change:

Server name, game port, max players, map
LAN / Steam preference
Game rules (friendly fire, day length, mining respawn, …)

Game port changes require a server restart.
JSON status: GET /api/status

Force web admin on a non-dedicated run: -WebAdmin
