How to Change Max Players on Your Avorion Server

How to set the player count limit on your Avorion dedicated server.

In server.ini under [Administration]:

maxPlayers = 10

Or use --max-players 10 as a startup parameter.

📝 Note: The server always reserves +1 extra slot above maxPlayers for admins. So maxPlayers = 10 means 10 players + 1 admin = 11 total possible connections.

Performance Impact

Each player loads additional sectors into memory. Adjust aliveSectorsPerPlayer in [System] to control this:

aliveSectorsPerPlayer = 5

Reduce this value if you have many players and limited RAM.
