How to Add Reserved Player Slots to Your Space Engineers Server

Reserved slots let specific players join your Space Engineers server even when it is at full capacity. This guide shows you how to configure them.

You will also need each player's Steam64 ID. See Add Admins for a link to a Steam64 ID lookup tool.

Before you start

Collect the Steam64 ID (SteamID64) for each player you want to reserve a slot for. You can look these up at steamid.io.

Steps

1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your Space Engineers server.
2. Click on Configuration Files and open SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg in the Configuration Editor.
3. Find the configuration item named Reserved (follow format, 1 per line).
4. Enter each Steam64 ID wrapped in <unsignedLong> tags, one per line. For example:

   <unsignedLong>76561197960279927</unsignedLong>
   <unsignedLong>76561197343529953</unsignedLong>
   <unsignedLong>76561197965342525</unsignedLong>
   

5. Click Save & Exit and restart your Space Engineers server.

Once the server restarts, any player whose Steam64 ID appears in the Reserved list will have reserved access rights when connecting.
