How to Kick and Ban Players on Your Space Station 14 Server

Kick and ban players on a Space Station 14 server

3 min read

In Space Station 14 you remove players through the in-game console. Bans are stored in the database of your server – you do not have to edit any file.

Use commands in the game

  1. Open the console
    Press ~ in the game to open the console.

  2. Enter a command
    Enter the desired command, for example:

    kick ExamplePlayer
    

Kick a player

kick <PlayerName> [<Reason>]

The player is disconnected from the server but can rejoin at any time. The reason is optional.

Ban a player

ban <name or user ID> <reason> [<duration in minutes>]

Example for a 60 minute ban:

ban ExamplePlayer Griefing 60

Lift a ban

  1. Find the ban ID
    List the bans of a player:

    banlist <name or user ID>
    

    In the in-game console this opens a window listing all bans of the player together with their ID. In the server console one line per ban is printed instead, consisting of the ID and the reason – for example 12: Griefing.

  2. Lift the ban
    Lift the ban using its ID:

    pardon 12
    

Ban a player from a role

Instead of locking a player out completely, you can also ban them from a single job only:

roleban <name or user ID> <job> <reason> [<duration in minutes>]

A role ban is lifted using its own ID:

roleunban <role ban id>

The same rule applies here: no duration or 0 means permanent.
