Hosting a dedicated server for Sunkenland not only enhances your gaming experience but also allows you to create a persistent world for you and your friends. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the entire process of setting up a Sunkenland dedicated server on Steam, from downloading the server program to configuring your game world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Started with the Sunkenland Dedicated Server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

System Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before you begin, ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for hosting a Sunkenland dedicated server. While specific requirements may vary based on the number of players and server configuration, a basic understanding of scripting and network configuration is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downloading the Dedicated Server Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are two methods to download the Sunkenland Dedicated Server program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method 1: Steam Desktop Application<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Open the Steam Library.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Click the top-left dropdown menu and select the \u2018Tools\u2019 checkbox.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Find \u2018Sunkenland Dedicated Server\u2019 in the list and click \u2018Install\u2019.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Method 2: SteamCMD<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Download SteamCMD from Valve’s official page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Launch SteamCMD and run the following command, replacing placeholders with your specific information:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
         steamcmd +force_install_dir \"Your_Installation_Directory\" +login \"Your_User_Name\" \"Your_Password\" +app_update 2667530 validate +quit<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      Ensure your account owns Sunkenland to download the server program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Preparing Your Server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Preparing the World Save File<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Before launching the server, you need a valid world save file. Use the Sunkenland game client to generate a world, then transfer it to your server machine. For Windows users, save files are located in C:\\Users\\Your_User_Name\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Vector3 Studio\\Sunkenland<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Configuring the Server Script<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Edit the start_headless_server.bat<\/code> script in the server installation folder. Make a copy of the original script to preserve your changes through updates. The script includes parameters such as -nographics<\/code> and -batchmode<\/code>, which must remain unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Optional Configurations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Administrator Steam ID<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      Create a AdminSteamIDs.txt<\/code> file within your world save folder and list the Steam IDs of users with administrator privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Banned Steam IDs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      Similarly, create a BanSteamIDs.txt<\/code> file to list the Steam IDs of banned users, preventing them from accessing the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Server Configuration Parameters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Configure your server by editing the start script with the following parameters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
