How to change your Space Engineers server name and settings

Most common Space Engineers server settings are in worlds\SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg. Use the Config Editor for standard fields like server name, description, world name, autosave interval, whitelist group, and common gameplay toggles.

Edit Server Settings

1. Open your Space Engineers server in the control panel.
2. Click Configuration Files.
3. Open worlds\SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg with Config Editor.

   

4. Change the fields you need. For example, Host Name controls the server name and World Name controls the active save.

   

5. Click Save & Exit.
6. Restart the server so the new settings are applied.

Some advanced save-specific settings are stored in the world SBC files. Back up the server before editing those manually.
