If the World Name does not match the folder name listed in `LastSession.sbl`, the installer cannot find the correct save and the mod will not load.\n\n## Steps\n\n## Check which save is loading\n\n1.

Note the folder name after `\\Saves\\`. In the example above, the save name is `MyWorld`.\n\n## Match the World Name\n\n5. Open `SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg` in the **Config Editor**.\n6. Find the **World Name** field and make sure it matches the save name you noted in Step 4 (for example, `MyWorld`).\n   - Alternatively, you can update `LastSession.sbl` to point to the world name already set in `SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg`. If you change `LastSession.sbl` to a new world name, the server must run at least once to generate the save file before mods can be written to it.\n7. Save your changes.\n\n## Reinstall mods\n\n8.

This method is required when using the EOS networking mode.","When your Space Engineers server uses [crossplay (EOS networking)](\u002Fwiki\u002Fgame-servers\u002Fspace-engineers\u002Fenable-crossplay), the standard Steam64 ID method cannot be used to promote admins. Instead, use the VRage Remote Client included with the Space Engineers Dedicated Server tool.\n\n## Before you start\n\n- Download the Space Engineers Dedicated Server tool from Steam (App ID 298740).\n- The player to be promoted must be connected to the server in-game when you click Promote.\n\n## Steps\n\n## Get your Remote API credentials\n\n1. In the [Game Control Panel](https:\u002F\u002Fgamepanel.hosthavoc.com\u002F), navigate to **Configuration Files** and open `SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg` using **Text Editor**.\n2. Scroll to the bottom and note the values for `\u003CRemoteSecurityKey>` and `\u003CRemoteApiPort>`.\n\n## Open VRage Remote Client\n\n3. On your local computer, navigate to `\\SpaceEngineersDedicatedServer\\DedicatedServer64\\` inside the installed Dedicated Server tool folder.\n4. Open `VRageRemoteClient.exe`.\n\n## Connect to your server\n\n5. In the **Connect** section of VRage Remote Client, enter:\n   - **Remote URL:** `http:\u002F\u002F\u003Cyour-server-IP-address>`\n   - **Port Number:** the value from `\u003CRemoteApiPort>` in your config\n   - **Security Key:** the value from `\u003CRemoteSecurityKey>` in your config\n6. Click **Connect**.\n\n## Promote the player\n\n7. Once connected, make sure the player to be promoted is in-game on your server.\n8. Locate the player in the VRage client and click **Promote**.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n**\"Warning: Remote API - Invalid date from IP\" error**\n\nThis error occurs when your local computer's time zone differs from the server's time zone. To resolve it:\n\n1. Change your local computer's time zone to **UTC**.\n2. Try connecting again.\n3. If it still fails, keep the time zone at UTC and set your clock back one minute. For example, if the time is 12:00, change it to 11:59.\n\nOnce adjusted, the connection should succeed normally.\n",{"id":347,"article_path":348,"sort":84,"date_created":245,"date_updated":349,"author_name":102,"featured_image":84,"subcategory":350,"translations":353},185,"add-admins","2026-06-10T18:25:12.000Z",{"id":27,"slug":104,"sort":105,"display_style":106,"translations":351},[352],{"languages_code":93,"name":109},[354],{"languages_code":93,"title":355,"title_short":356,"description":357,"content_md":358},"How to Add Admins to Your Space Engineers Server","Add Admins","Learn how to grant in-game administrator access on your Space Engineers server by adding Steam64 IDs to the SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg configuration file.","This guide covers how to add in-game administrators to your Space Engineers server.

Use a tool such as [steamid.io](https:\u002F\u002Fsteamid.io\u002F) to look up IDs from a Steam profile URL.\n\n## Steps\n\n## Open the configuration file\n\n1. Log in to the [Game Control Panel](https:\u002F\u002Fgamepanel.hosthavoc.com\u002F) and navigate to your Space Engineers server.\n2. Click on **Configuration Files** and open `SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg` in the **Configuration Editor**.\n\n## Add Steam64 IDs\n\n3.

Click **Save & Exit**.\n\n## Restart your server\n\n6. Restart your Space Engineers server.\n\nOnce the server is back online, each player whose Steam64 ID you added will have admin access when they connect.\n\n> **Note:** If the ID is invalid or formatted incorrectly, admin access will not be granted. Double-check each ID at [steamid.io](https:\u002F\u002Fsteamid.io\u002F) if a player is not receiving admin rights.\n"]
