Make the change
- Take a backup and note the exact World Name, including capitalization.
- Stop the server between play sessions.
- In Startup, change Server Name only. Keep World Name and the assigned network fields unchanged.
- Start the server and look for its new name in the multiplayer list.
- Join and inspect a known building and colonist before announcing the new listing to everyone.
| Panel field | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|
| World name | Identifies the world or save to load. Record the original value before changing it; another name can select a different save. Up to 32 characters. |
| Server name | The name players see when looking for the session. Use a distinctive name so it is easy to distinguish from other servers. Up to 32 characters. |
Check the result
If an empty world appears, stop and restore the previous World Name first. Do not overwrite the old save with files from the newly generated world.
