How to Become an Admin on Astroneer

Becoming an admin/owner on your Astroneer server is easy and essential for managing your game experience effectively. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you set up and manage your server like a pro!

Steps to become an owner and manage the server

1) Make sure you added the right Steam/PSN gametag name to the Server Owner Name in Basic Settings and that it matches your name exactly.

2) Once you add your server, you should be admin and see the admin panel.

If you changed the owner name, the server needs a restart to apply the change.

3) That’s it! You’re the owner of the server and can ban or whitelist players, but more importantly, manage the game session to change the game mode to whatever you want.

Tips for Managing Your Astroneer Server

• Regularly check the player list to monitor who is playing on your server.
• Keep an eye on any disruptive behavior and use the kick or ban features if necessary.
• Whitelisting players can help create a safer environment by allowing only approved friends to join.
• Make sure to communicate with your players about any changes you make to the game settings.

• Consider rotating admin responsibilities among trusted players to share the management workload.

   

Troubleshooting

• If you can't access the admin panel, double-check that the Steam/PSN gametag entered is exactly correct.
• For changing the server owner, remember that the server must be restarted for changes to take effect.
• If players are unable to connect after whitelisting, ensure their usernames are correctly added to the whitelist.
• Admins can't be banned or whitelisted, so they should be removed as the admins if they need to be banned.
