You can use a website such as CanYouSeeMe [to figure out if your port forwarding did indeed work, otherwise, you can just have someone attempt connection. Personally I forward TCP and UDP both, but Starbound claims you only need to forward TCP. Every router is different, so I cannot possibly give a detailed guide for everyone. This should provide you with enough information to get you through it. If this becomes a problem for you, you'll have to find a guide for your specific Anti-virus.)įor specific information on how to port forward for your router, look on the back or bottom of your router for the model number, and google the model number + port forwarding guide.

However I personally have never had any need for this step.

(NOTE: If you have a third party anti-virus / firewall you MAY need to add exceptions for the game and or ports for it aswell. You will need to forward port 21025 on your router AND add exceptions in your windows firewall. If you haven't port forwarded and have followed this guide correctly and it STILL doesn't work, then port forward, chances are your problems will be solved. This is REQUIRED for people to connect to you 99% of the time. MODS: installing mods is the same as all the other methods but i would recommend following the steps laid out in as it makes life a lot easier. Step 4: the rest should be obvious for most of you, when you launch PenGUIn you'll find basic server actions in the bottom left of the interface (Start/Restart/Stop), there's a lot of information this application provides in one place for ease of access take some time to go through it at your own leisure. Step 3: Create a shortcut to your desktop then launch PenGUIn.exe
