import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Server Browser [#server-browser]

1. Launch Empyrion → **Multiplayer**
2. Search for your server by name
3. Click **Connect**

Server must have `Srv_Public: true` in `dedicated.yaml`.

Direct Connect [#direct-connect]

Enter `IP:Port` (e.g., `192.168.1.100:30000`) in the Direct IP field.

EAC Note [#eac-note]

If the server has `EACActive: true`, players must launch with EAC enabled. Mismatched EAC settings prevent connection.
