How to Connect to a Space Engineers Server
Join your Space Engineers server, invite friends, and check common connection problems.
Open Dashboard → Servers, choose Manage on your server, and find Connection. Copy Address, including the colon and number at the end.
Connect
- Start Space Engineers and open Join Game.
- Choose the appropriate server list for your server: Steam for a Steam server, or EOS for a crossplay server.
- Select Direct Connect, enter the full Address, and connect.
- Enter the player password if asked and allow required content to download.
Invite friends
Share the address, player password, and whether the server uses Steam or crossplay. Confirm your friends’ platforms and required mods are supported by that server.
If you cannot join
Check the Steam/EOS selection first. If the game says Experimental Mode or particular mods are required, confirm those requirements with the owner. Crossplay depends on server setup and mod compatibility.
Still stuck? Check the server’s status in Jovian, allow startup time, then contact Support with its ID and the error message.
