[2022] Asynchron play

Yep - there is a dedicated server for either linux or windows.

A guide is available: https://github.com/rocket2guns/StationeersDedicatedServerGuide

Note that it has recently been updated with entirely new netcode. Much better than before, but many guides will be outdated and based on the old system.

There is a setting for "pause when empty".

Note players need to be in an oxygenated (and CO2 scrubbed) sleeper to keep living.

This a setting in the settings.xml file, sorry should have mentioned that. I'll get it added to the guide.

Originally posted by Bracht: Thank you Rocket. Do you mind telling me the function i'm looking for in the settings.xml? I checked that file and I didn't see anything that was obvious

Im having trouble finding myself! I'll double check, I believe it should be on by default. It is supposed to be toggleable.

We are in the process of migrating a number of things, so I will check this and confirm.
