Apply a Startup change
- Stop the server between sessions. For a save-related change, make a backup first.
- Open Startup → Variables, enter a value accepted by the field and wait for it to save.
- Start the server and check the result in game. If startup stops, read the first Console error before making another change.
| Panel field | Purpose and accepted values |
|---|---|
| Map Name | The map name displayed in Astro Colony’s server list. Keep it separate from the map seed and save-loading option. Up to 30 characters. |
| Autosave Interval | Minutes between Astro Colony autosaves. For example, 5.0 means five minutes. |
| Should Load Latest Savegame | Controls whether Astro Colony loads its latest save at startup. Keep the existing save files when changing this option. On or off (the panel may display True/False or 1/0). |
File settings and Startup overrides
These fields are written into AstroColony/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ServerSettings.ini. Editing only that file can be undone on the next start.
