How do I connect to my Avorion Server?

Category Avorion Last updated 2 min read

Setting up your AleForge Avorion server for players to join is easy. This guide covers three ways to connect: the in-game server browser, Steam Favorites, and joining by IP address.

Before You Begin

Section titled “Before You Begin”
  • Your Avorion server must be started and finished loading.
  • You need access to the AleForge Panel.
  • If you set a server password, have it ready.

Option 1: Connect Through the Server Browser

Section titled “Option 1: Connect Through the Server Browser”

First, give your server a unique name so it’s easy to find:

  1. Open the AleForge Panel and select your Avorion server.
  2. Click Startup.
  3. Change the server name to something unique. This is the name that appears in the server browser.
  4. Open the Console page and restart the server.

Then join from the game:

  1. Launch Avorion.
  2. Click Multiplayer, then Browse Servers.
  3. Click Change Filters next to Refresh.
  4. Type your server name into the search bar.
  5. Select your server and click Join.
  6. If you set a server password, enter it when prompted.

Tip: To find the server faster later, right-click your server name in the list and add it to your favorites.

Option 2: Add the Server to Steam Favorites

Section titled “Option 2: Add the Server to Steam Favorites”

You can also connect through Steam before launching Avorion:

  1. Open Steam and click View → Game Servers.

  2. Go to the Favorites tab and click Add a server.

  3. Enter your server IP, a colon, and the query port. For example:

    203.0.113.10:27000

  4. Click Find games at this address, then add the server to your favorites.

  5. In Avorion, open Multiplayer → Browse Servers → Favorites.

  6. Select your server and click Join.

The IP address above is an example only. Use your own server’s IP and query port.

Option 3: Join via IP in Avorion

Section titled “Option 3: Join via IP in Avorion”

Joining by IP address in the Avorion client requires the Dedicated IP addon for your server.

  • Once the addon is purchased and deployed, enter the IP address and port to connect.
  • You can order a dedicated IP when ordering your Avorion server on the AleForge billing site.
