Use this when you already have an Icarus prospect .json file and want the dedicated server to load it. If you only want to make a fresh world, use How to create a world on your Icarus server instead.

Icarus dedicated server prospects are stored in Icarus/Saved/PlayerData/DedicatedServer/Prospects.

  1. Open your Icarus server in the control panel and stop the server.
  2. Take a backup first: How to backup your Icarus Server.
  3. Click File Manager.
  4. Open Icarus/Saved/PlayerData/DedicatedServer/Prospects. Create any missing folders in that path if they are not already present.
  5. Click Upload, then upload the prospect .json file. A prospect created in-game is saved as a JSON file, for example my prospect.json.

    For SFTP uploads, use the same folder path in FileZilla: How to connect to SFTP using FileZilla.

  6. Copy the prospect name from the JSON file name. For example, my prospect.json is the prospect name my prospect.
  7. Set the server to load that prospect using How to change which prospect your Icarus server loads.
  8. Start the server and test it in-game.
