https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdLNFowq8WI At 11:28, I go over a method of using playit.gg, which can bypass the issues of a dynamic IP, and performs UDP punching which removes the need to port forward. It's still at attack surface, but only while running the playit.gg tool, at least.

Hi! Unfortunately yes, this is an issue with how they've implemented servers / matchmaking / crossplay. The devs are aware of the problem, but I'm not sure if they ever plan to fix this, as it would require a complete rework of how dedicated servers work.

No dedicated server has achievements disabled, unless you're playing on a save that has had creative mode turned on at some point.

I'm not sure where everyone gets this misconception. Rented Dedicated (which allow crossplay) servers have never turned off achievements, and self-hosted dedicated servers (which do not allow crossplay) have not disabled achievements since the first week they were out. Go rent a server from GPortal. https://www.g-portal.com/us/en/gameserver/astroneer-server-hosting

The Server URL is the IP:Port combination that you'll find on your GPortal or Nitrado dashboard

For anybody finding this post in the future, I wrote a tool called AstroLauncher last year that provides a UI, save management, and much more. Here's my post with a video guide you can follow if you want to setup your own server:

Reddit is the platform with the highest viewer count. While the forums barely gets maybe a dozen unique viewers a week, the subreddit gets thousands. 6000 unique users per DAY on average. 25,000 total pageviews per day. The subreddit simply has higher visibility
