KingPhantom 0 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hi I cant find the "Astroneer Dedicated Server" in my Tools in Steam. I got the servers and SDKs for many other games but Astroneer is missing. Do I have to add it? And using it in Steam means that we have to run the server on the "Gaming Machine" (I have Steam on that one) but I would prefer to use a dedicated server on my own server (next to me :D) which is running all the time. Is ther nothing like an exe or zip to run a dedicated server on complete gaming server setups (without Steam)? Like it is possible for Rust or Minecraft. Thx!

Mirosya 0 Share Posted May 27, 2020 The developers suggest using someone else's dedicated server (Nitrado Game Server), for which you need to pay money - monthly payment. And all of the fact that the local cooperative has problems, then, in fact, nothing has changed with the last patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominik_andreas 0 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I have the same problem.. Dedicated Server is not showing up in Steam Library under Tools. Maybe the dedicated server isn't released in all regions yet or rolled out to users over time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominik_andreas 0 Share Posted May 27, 2020 seems to work using steamcmd. after installing steamcmd, open steamcmd in a terminal / commandline and execute the following: login anonymous force_install_dir <your preferred installation directory> app_update 728470 Your game will then be downloaded in the given directory. It needs to download ~1.7GB and shouldn't take long with a decent connection. Unfortunately I don't know how to actually run it yet. When I run one of the binaries it just quits without any message or logs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominik_andreas 0 Share Posted May 27, 2020 actually it seems the server just forks to the background (I can see the process running in the task manager). so probably working, but will need to do some port forwarding to actually check it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominik_andreas 0 Share Posted May 27, 2020 its working fine, but only if you actually use your public IP in the server config. this is super annoying for everyone who wants to run a dedicated server at home. why you can't just use a domain instead is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Hamilton 0 Share Posted May 27, 2020 What happens if you bought the game on PC through the Microsoft Store, are you still able to host your own dedicated server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominik_andreas 0 Share Posted May 27, 2020 you don't need to own the game to run a dedicated server. just log in anonymously in steam cmd, download the server and run it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I run one of the binaries it just quits without any message or logs.. download worked. i added the port to engine.ini and i did the publicip entry in the config ini. i also added a servername and an owner to it. i have 2 processes running: Astro.exe AstroServer.exe nothing is working. i can't connect via dns name, publicip, internal network ip. very strange. edit: portforwarding is active. similar to minecraftserver which is working. so portforwarding should be correct.

Mirosya 0 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Download with steamcmd (login as anonymous) worked. Server starting silently and stop working without any error or log files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Cocofang 0 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Just the fact that the very first step of their own tutorial about how to set up your server doesn't work because there is nothing added to steam tools is kinda disgraceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thw0rted 0 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I added the port number to Engine.ini and in AstroServerSettings.ini I set the PublicIP, ServerName, and OwnerName. I changed nothing else, clicked "Launch" from inside Steam, and I have AstroServer and AstroServer-Win64-Shipping in my task manager. I actually came here to ask if there's an official / graceful way to have it shut down, rather than just killing the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strat38 0 Share Posted May 29, 2020 found out steam english/french is not exactly the same layout. Had to switch back and forth to be able to SEE the astroneer dedicated server stuff... Also, you have to launch it with the incoming connection enable !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
