What should I configure when starting a game server for the first time?
Set name, slots, password, game mode and network settings without breaking the startup.
Each egg exposes its variables in Startup or Options. Start with the defaults, then change one parameter family at a time.
Step-by-step procedure
-
Start with defaults
First confirm that the server reaches the ready state in the console.
-
Change the name and description
Enter the public name, description and possibly a player password.
-
Adjust slots
Do not exceed the offer resources. More players increases CPU, RAM and traffic.
-
Change gradually
Save and restart after each group of changes to quickly identify an invalid setting.
