Get all your friends you want to play with to download and install this too, set up a network and have them join it. Host on the Dedicated Server Tool and in the console tab on the server window type in your svlan and svlan0, and heartbeat just as a fail safe. In the game, if you're on PC, press shift+tab, and the Steam Community Page will pop up. Then Press view friends in the bottom right coner next to your profile picture. Then when the Friends page. Also an easy way is to tell your friends the name of the map, then your friends put the name of the map in search filters on the server list, it will take about a 2 minute wait and your server should appear on the server list, also always put svlan 0 in console or in your listenserver.cfg.

How To Invite Friends Friendster

Since the inception of the TF2 Newbs server (a stock rotation server) on the first day of beta one of the challenges has been to keep the server full, or at least populated enough where I don’t have to sit there for 6 hours by myself. Unfortunately due to things outside of my control we’ve had to change the IP addresses of our servers a couple of times, combined with our rapid expansion in total servers (currently we have 8 maintained by me + 2 donated to the community by others) early in the day its common to find the servers empty, requiring people interested in playing to sit on an empty server waiting for those first few people to join. When I have time, this would be me. Oh how I yearned for a way to easily invite my friends who were around to come play too. Once in a blue moon I could hit shift-tab, bring up the overlay pick a friend, and invite them to the game I’m in. But most of the time the option just wasn’t there. I then learned from someone very very smart, that all you need to do in order to get the invite option to come back is to change your ‘status’ on steam, and it’ll magically reappear.

Here are some non-resized pictures to help.

Lets go change our status

• Steam (all OS)

The easiest way to connect to friends playing Starbound is through your Steam friend list. Simply right click a player's name in your friends list and select 'Join Game'. This will connect you to their in-progress game of Starbound and you'll appear in their universe. There you'll have everything on your ship with you, but anything on planets will appear as it does in their game, not yours.

Alternatively you can select 'Invite to game' which will invite them to join your game with whatever character they're playing with. You must be logged into the game with a character for this option to be available.

After selecting to open Starbound in Steam the option comes up to launch a dedicated server. This will launch starbound_server.exe which hosts a server from your machine. This allows players to connect to your machine to play Starbound, even if the game is closed (provided the server software is still running).

• Linux (Ubuntu)
  • A guide for setting up a linux server can be found here Guide:LinuxServerSetup

If the computer you wish to run the server on has a private IP:

You will need administrative access to all routers between the server and the internet (In a typical home, you may have up to 2 or more. In some cases the modem itself has a built in router that is often overlooked)

You will also likely need administrative access to any firewalls between the server and the internet (In a typical home, this would just be the firewall built into your OS)

Manually

• Run the Starbound server in your Starbound directory. The default location is:
  • On 32-bit Windows, C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonstarboundwin32starbound_server.exe
  • On 64-bit Windows: C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonStarboundwin32starbound_server.exe
  • On Mac OS, ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound
  • On 64-bit Linux, ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linux/starbound_server (there is no 32-bit Linux server)
  • If the Starbound server cannot be found at these locations, then right-click the game in Steam to find the Starbound directory.​

To host a server you will need to forward/allow TCP port 21025 on your router and firewall (if enabled)

See the resource section on a Remote Port Testing URLIf the resource reports that the port is closed then you will need to:

• Check your firewall(s) in your OS
• Check your forwarding rules on your router(s)

Locally, you should still be able to connect to your server using the IP 127.0.0.1 (Local Loopback) in the Starbound client, however your friends won't.

Once the remote tool reports that the port is open, then you may give your IP out to your friends to play. To locate your IP use this, or another similar URL

• Load the game, click 'Multiplayer' in the main menu​
• Select the character you wish to use
• Server Address: Enter the IP or DNS name you wish to connect to.
• Enter the server account and password if this has been configured, otherwise it can be left blank
• Click on 'Join Server'
• Invite your friends to connect too!​

Forming a Party

Once you're in-game, you and your friends will be on different ships and or planets. To CREATE a party, once the friends have joined your game, press the ( + ) icon in the upper right, below your character portrait, and put in your friend('s/s') character nickname. (If you do not know the friend's nickname, check the chat for it, displayed such as: '(Name) Has Connected'), and click on invite. To JOIN a party, once the owner of the party has sent you an invitation, simply click accept, or deny. In a few seconds, you should see the owner's Character Picture, as well as any other Player's Characters pictures that are already in the party.

Note: Once you're in a party with someone, you can warp to their ship by clicking on their portrait.

By editing the file 'starbound.config' in the giraffe_storage directory, players can adjust the settings for the server they're hosting. This method allows players to configure server passwords, ports, default game settings and much more by adjusting values.
