How to Set Up a Space Engineers Server

Space Engineers is the voxel engineering sandbox of ships, stations and physics-driven construction. A dedicated server (Torch with plugins and Workshop mods) keeps your galaxy persistent for your crew. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a Space Engineers server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.

What you need

• A Space Engineers plan with around 6–12 GB of RAM — Space Engineers is a Heavy-class game.
• Support for Torch server with plugins and Workshop mods, included on every GGameHost Space Engineers plan.
• Your friends or community to play with (up to 16+ slots).

Step 1 — Choose your plan

Pick a plan sized for your Space Engineers community. We recommend about 6–12 GB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. Space Engineers plans start at $11.99/mo.

Step 2 — Deploy your server

Check out and your Space Engineers server provisions automatically in under 60 seconds, with console access right away — no manual install, no command line.

Step 3 — Connect & invite players

Once your Space Engineers server is online, share its address (IP and port) with your friends so they can join. Start, stop and restart it anytime from the control panel.

Step 4 — Install mods & configure

Your Space Engineers server supports Torch, Plugins, Steam Workshop, Config, FTP/SFTP. Install Torch server with plugins and Workshop mods straight from the one-click installer, or upload your own from the control panel — then tweak settings in the visual config editor.

Step 5 — Keep it running smoothly

Enable scheduled automatic backups, set restart timers, and monitor CPU, RAM and player counts from the dashboard. Always-on DDoS protection and 24/7 support keep your Space Engineers server stable.
