Space Engineers - Torch Server

Torch is the successor to SE Server Extender and gives server admins the tools they need to keep their Space Engineers servers running smoothly. It features a user interface with live management tools and a plugin system so you can run your server exactly how you'd like. Torch is still in early development so there may be bugs and incomplete features. !!!!! DO NOT CANCEL THE FIRST START, OR YOU NEED TO DELETE THE SERVER AND CREATE FROM SCRATCH !!!!

Description

Torch is the successor to SE Server Extender and gives server admins the tools they need to keep their Space Engineers servers running smoothly. It features a user interface with live management tools and a plugin system so you can run your server exactly how you'd like. Torch is still in early development so there may be bugs and incomplete features.

NOTE Because of the winetricks installation, the install process could take some time. Likewise, the first start of the server takes its time.

SPECIAL NOTE When installed, the Server loads a base World and config from this repo. ONLY THIS WORLD IS SUPPORTED. Everything which is not defined in a variable could be edited directy in the config file /config/SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg and config/Saves/World/Sandbox.sbc

Server Ports

Default server ports are listed below, but the Main, STEAM and API port can be any port.

Port default
Game 27016
Steam 8766
API 8081

Minumum server settings

RAM

This server requires about 6GB.

Based on the information provided by the developer: See here

Disk

This server uses about 7GB of diskspace.

Updating

Because some logic in this egg changed. Already made servers will manualy have to be updated.

This has to be done manual for every server!!

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Update the already impored egg to the newer version.
  3. Change the startup (on the startup tab on the admin side) of the already made server's to: export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="mscoree=n,b;mshtml=n,b"; wine /home/container/Torch.Server.exe -noupdate -nogui -console
  4. Change on the same tab (bottom left) the docker image to: ghcr.io/Ptero-Eggs/yolks:wine_latest
  5. Change the contence of the variable WINETRICKS_RUN to: vcrun2022 corefonts dotnet48
  6. Remove the .wine and .cache folder.
  7. Start the server again.

Changes
