About Empyrion: space survival where you build every ship yourself
Empyrion: Galactic Survival is a space survival sandbox from Eleon Game Studios. You start stranded on a planet, gather resources, and build bases, hover vessels, small vessels, and capital ships block by block, then fly between planets and star systems. Planets range from protected PvE zones to open PvP worlds. A dedicated server keeps that galaxy running 24/7, so your faction's bases, ships, and progress stay in place while you are offline.
Workshop scenarios like Reforged Eden
Empyrion servers can run Steam Workshop scenarios, including the popular Reforged Eden overhaul. On Host Havoc, the Scenario Downloader in the control panel fetches a scenario by its Workshop ID, and the Custom Scenario setting points your server at it. Change the save name when you switch scenarios to start a fresh galaxy.
Full config and admin access
Set the server name, password, player cap, game mode (Survival or Creative), and save name in the config editor, tune world rules in your save's gameoptions.yaml, and grant admin rights in adminconfig.yaml. FTP access also works with Empyrion Admin Helper for remote management. Every server includes DDoS protection, automated backups, and 24/7 support.
How to Set Up an Empyrion: Galactic Survival Dedicated Server
With Host Havoc
The easy way: with Host Havoc
- Pick a plan and region. 20 to 100 slots, in the datacenter closest to your crew.
- Deploy in minutes. Your server launches on the latest Empyrion build, ready to join.
- Manage from the panel. Set the server name, password, scenario, and admins in the config editor. No SteamCMD or port forwarding.
Automated backups, DDoS protection, and 24/7 support are included.
Without Host Havoc
The manual way: self-hosting
Empyrion's dedicated server from Eleon Game Studios is a Windows-only build (Linux hosts need Wine). Each active playfield runs as its own process, so RAM climbs as players spread across planets. Plan for 4 fast cores and 16 GB of RAM, more for large scenarios like Reforged Eden. No GPU needed.
- Download the server with SteamCMD using the anonymous login and Steam App ID
530870:steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 530870 validate +quit - Edit
dedicated.yamlin the install folder. SetSrv_Name,Srv_Password,Srv_MaxPlayers, andSrv_Port(default30000), thenGameName,Mode, andCustomScenariounderGameConfig. - Add admins by listing Steam64 IDs with permission level 9 in
adminconfig.yamlin theSavesfolder. - Forward ports
30000to30003(TCP and UDP) on your router and firewall. Keep telnet on30004closed to the internet. - Launch with
EmpyrionDedicated_NoGraphics.cmdand keep it running as a Windows service.
After that it is on you: patching on every Eleon update, backing up the Saves folder, restarting after crashes, and absorbing DDoS yourself.
