How many CPU cores should I allocate to my Starbound server?

invalid@example.com (Rattle189) — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 14:41:48 +0000

Heya,

I got a virtual machine running Debian 11 with 2 CPU cores and 6GB of RAM allocated to it and it's running both a Starbound server and StarryPy3k on it. My host machine is Arch on an AMD Ryzen 5 2400G with 16GB RAM.

A little background on why the server is running on a virtual machine is because I wanted to try out running StarryPy3k too and saw that it adds more commands and features to the server both in terms of commands and...

Multiplayer error with no message

invalid@example.com (DoctorSanchezSenior) — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 15:57:15 +0000

Hi!

I've been playing on dedicated linux server with my kids. Me and my younger kiddo are doing fine but my older kid is experiencing odd begavior. His client gets desynced, we see his movements but his client does not get any updates. Like if I'm using matter manipulator when his client desyncs, he can see blocks wiggling forever. Monsters do kill him, he just can't see them moving anymore. There's no message in logs nor server in debug-mode.

I have tried to check CPU usage, network...

Steam workshop mods on dedicated server

invalid@example.com (Fruiteyes) — Mon, 10 Oct 2022 18:37:38 +0000

I've noticed that a lot of people have been struggling to get the built-in dedicated server to work with mods downloaded from the Steam workshop, both on this forum and on the Steam discussion for Starbound. Some discovered a workaround that involved editing the sbinit.config file, which is found in both the win32 and win64 folders of the Starbound directory. However, they stated that you had to add a line for each individual mod, which would mean you'd have to edit the file every single...

Would Chucklefish consider publishing the server publicly?

invalid@example.com (slifty) — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 14:32:29 +0000

I'm working to set up a dedicated server on a server I own via Docker, running Debian (I own Starbound through steam and I game on a Mac these days which means the installed files are all compiled for MacOS.

I was wondering if Chucklefish would consider publishing their latest server versions publicly, which would make it much simpler to have a Docker container download a given copy of the server. As it stands every time a new version is released I would need to manually log into the...

Default Spawn

invalid@example.com (sagenth) — Tue, 21 Jun 2022 22:28:04 +0000

So I'm trying to setup my server to have a default starting planet for players.. but I can't seem to get it working.

Code:

[
    {
        "op" : "replace",
        "path" : "/defaultWorldCoordinate",
        "value" : "53_5_-107441380_11"
    }
]

The value I took from the storage directory for a lush world near the center of the universe (using FU). I am pretty sure the problem is I haven't put my `universe_server.config.patch` file in the correct directory. And instead of trying...

Hello call me Rapture. You see, I got a friend who I played with in the past and he lagged like a beast. I had over 300 mods back then. I wanna invite him again and have reduced the modcount to 125 and wanna know if it'll work. One thing I know a out the my friend is that he is in a rather poor country and cannot afford good wifi. He said that it could be the mods causing the issue so I want an opinion from the community. Plz note that I will find it hard to post here due to reasons but I...

Inconsistent Asset Digest, Identical Mods (Dedicated Server vs Players Client)

invalid@example.com (KittyHanahara) — Mon, 23 May 2022 18:56:21 +0000

I'm trying to host a modded starbound server using mods from the steam workshop, I'm hosting the server on a ubuntu system, and managed to get 17 mods to work with disallow asset mismatching on, but the moment I add any more, the asset digest never matches.
It seems like when I add any more, the server and the clients begin loading the mods in different orders. How can I fix that?

What happened to Starbards.net?

invalid@example.com (ZIOM5000) — Sat, 09 Apr 2022 07:29:36 +0000

Been away from Starbound for a while and noticed that both the Starbards server and website are down. While I wasn't really playing there much, I did use the website a lot, browsing through abc files once in a while or adding something from my own findings.

Does anyone know what happened to them? Any info would be appreciated.

Hoi!
I'll try to keep it short. I recently picked up starbound again and I'm (once again) loving it.
though I have played through the game for like 16 times already, so I decided to mod the game. I chose some mods that I wanted to look at and test. they all worked perfectly fine.

Now I wanted to play with some friends and since I'm not always there to let them play on our universe, I rented a server on nitrado. after an entire day of researching I finally found out how to put mods into the...

Hello and welcome to my thread.
I'm here to teach you how to do LAN.
First you need to launch Starbound.
Then you have to click the button that says 'Launch starbound server'.
A window should popup so you need to wait for it to finish loading the materials.
Now launch up starbound and check to see if the window you opened earlier says 'Listening in on [ipv4]*:21025 <---- (that's the default port)
If it says...

Can't connect to my own modded server

Hi,

I created a Starbound server with the Steam-tool "Starbound Dedicated Server" and used portforwarding so my friend and I can play together.

I installed a few mods and the server itself is running without problems, my friend and I can connect, but heres the problem:

I can only connect to the Server if I restart my PC. If I don't do that, I almost always get the error message "Incoming client packet has caused exception".

The console also gives me the following Error if I try to join:...

I "Inherited" a friend's Server worldfiles, asking for some security and practical tecnical tips

invalid@example.com (Lucretia) — Thu, 25 Nov 2021 21:40:47 +0000

Hi everyone! I just "Inherited" a Starbound server from a friend who don't have time/willingness to run it anymore.

She had some major security issues in the past with it, people breaking havoc exploting bugs and making damages, she blocked most of them with a vpn ip filter list (because most of the attackers used vpn to break in).

But I think most of the security issues she had was due to the fact that she was stubborn to use an unauthorized downloaded version of the game and had...
