Whats the point to building a towering monument dedicated to your greatness if no ones around to see it Unfortunately joining and hosting servers for Starbound is not the most user friendly experience and involves some old school port forwarding and IP Addresses.

Weve compiled a handy quick guide to hopefully get you and your friends exploring the stars together.

The first thing youll need to do in order to host a server is enable port 21025 on your router.

On most modern routers simply type your gateway IP address directly into your web browser.

Specific router layouts differ, but you want to look for a section called Firewall or Applications and Gaming or something similar.

Add a new user-defined application (make sure your gaming PC is selected).

You can name it Starbound or whatever you like, make sure its on TCP and the port range is 21025.

After youve saved it you still need to go back and addallow it into your system as an exception or hosted application.

Note that you will probably need your router password to make the change.

Alternatively you can easily launch starboundserver.exe from the games directory (such as Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonStarboundwin32).

Let it run for a few seconds until it stops scrolling, then fire up the game with Launch Starbound (leave the server cmd window open).

If you have a firewall and it hasnt prompted you to allow or negate access to Starbound, allow it now.

This is located by using the same ipconfig all command and finding the IPv4 address, usually something like 192.168.1.50.

Type that into the IP box (leave password blank) and hit join server and you should pop right in.

If you dont, you either got the address wrong or you didnt leave the server window open.

Note that anyone on your local area network will use this internal IP to connect.

Your online friends however will need to use your external IP address to connect.

There are a myriad of websites that can quickly tell you, or simply type What Is My IP into Google.

Give them this IP address and if youve done everything right they should be able to join your server.
