Dedicated Server?

[BunBun]

Could someone please tell me where's the docs for setting up a dedicated server? Or anything reasonably close?

Documentation, please. From the dev if it exists. Not a video, not a terrible article on Warlizard's Gaming Forum.

And then where was that linked? Apparently I've missed something really obvious because web searches turn up zilch.

As I'm not 100% sure about what are you exactly asking about, I'll share with you the general dedicated server hosting guide. This should be more than enough to get everything sorted out, but if it isn't what you needed, please specify it and I'll get back right at you :)

How do I host a dedicated server?

The easiest way to host a dedicated server is to use the Core Keeper Dedicated Server App in Steam. To do this, please follow the instructions below:

1. Launch Steam and navigate to your Steam Library
2. On the left-hand side of the screen, above your games list, you should see the word “GAMES”
3. Click on this to open a dropdown menu, then select “TOOLS”
4. Once “TOOLS” is selected, use the search box below this dropdown menu to find “Core Keeper Dedicated Server”
5. Right click “Core Keeper Dedicated Server” and click “INSTALL”
6. Once this has installed, launch “Core Keeper Dedicated Server”
7. Make sure “Launch Dedicated Server” is selected, and click “PLAY”
8. This should open a command window (cmd.exe), wait a few moments and this should generate a Game ID for you (if it doesn’t, hit the enter key to prompt this)
9. Your server is now running, do not close this command window. If you close this window, your server will continue to run in the background, and you will have to restart your computer to end this process
10. Run Core Keeper and join the dedicated server by entering the Game ID in the “Join Game” menu. You can distribute this Game ID to anyone you wish to play with, and they will be able to access your server while it is running
11. When you are finished running the server, navigate back to the command menu and press “q” to quit. You are now free to close the command window

Step by step info, clear and concise. A very excellent post. I never use my Steam points for jack shizzle, so I may as well dump a bunch of em on you as a thanks. Thanks!

So you had to get this info from somewhere, right? Where exactly did you get it? This is my main question.

In other games with dedicated servers you can specify all kinds of options, so I'd like to know what tweakables are out there.

Thanks again.

this is great !! but how to use my own world on dedicated server?

If i recall correctly, you can always use a paid server host such as https://www.bisecthosting.com/ When you pay for the service, you specify the game, in this case Core Keeper. They will set you up for you as part of that paid service. Once the world is up and online (mine took only an hour or less), you can go into the files to get the map join code. The server is up and running 100% of the time, anyone can join by entering that map join code, at anytime they want. I have done this with bisecthosting for my factorio server, and it works fantastic, and was thinking of doing one for Core keeper as well now.

[Huh?]

Does anyone know if this can be done on the same account you are playing on through Steam? I have a dedicated server pc and I want that to run the server, and I want to join in to the server on my other main pc and let my friends join, but I am getting the message that I cant play core keeper on my main pc AND host a server on my server pc.

you ca host a server using the steamcmd which will host it anonymously which will free up your account to play on your main PC. There is a Youtube video availible to help with that but the instructions are a little lacking but it does give a good base to help.
