How to Join Your Solace Crafting Server

Solace Crafting offers two ways onto a dedicated server from the main menu: the server list and the direct connection. For the direct connection you use the Game Port of your server, not the Query Port.

Find connection details

Enter the ports in the server configuration

Solace Crafting reads the Game Port and the Query Port from its configuration file. If the values there do not match the ports assigned to your server in the dashboard, nobody can reach your server. Check the entries before you hand out your connection details.

3. Open the configuration file
   Open the following file:

4. Enter the ports
   Set port to the Game Port and steamQueryPort to the Query Port from your dashboard:

   "port": 27015,
   "steamQueryPort": 27016,
   

5. Start the server
   Save the file and start your server.
