Aloft

Soar the skies in Aloft, the co-op sandbox survival game set in a world of floating islands. Build any island into a skyship, your home in the clouds. Find lost knowledge, cure the fungal corruption, and brave the hurricane to restore the ecosystem.

The egg will automatically generate a world using the settings you provide on the first startup, or if the world file specified doesn't exist. Once the world is generated it will automatically load the server with this world.

Save file location

The save files are located in .wine/drive_c/users/container/AppData/LocalLow/Astrolabe Interactive/Aloft/Data01/Saves. Please be careful and backup your saves if you need to remove the .wine folder!

Steam Account Required

A steam account that owns the game is required to install this server. The official word from the developers is they have discussed this and have no intention to change this.

Server Ports

Aloft requires one port. They do not specify a default port.
