The first thing to do is make sure the port is open and able to communicate with your friends. At the top you can see the “How to: Hosting a Server” link, which lists a couple of more in-depth tutorials but for this guide we’ll keep it simple and stick to the essentials which will get your server up and running. This is what the Server Wizard looks like. If you’re on the standalone or GOG version of Staxel, you can open up the wizard either from the Launcher, or by navigating to Staxel’s folder on your PC, going to the “/bin” folder and opening If you’re using the Steam version of Staxel, you’ll get the option for “Launch Dedicated Server” when you click on the “Play” button in the Steam Client. Note that some port forwarding may be required to successfully host a dedicated server. It’s a good idea if the player with the best internet connection and a suitable amount of RAM is the one to set up the server. Setting up a dedicated server is the most complicated of the three options, but technically it should supply the most stable connection for you and your friends to play on. Alternatively, your friends can click on your name from the Friends List and join your session in the same way. This should send them an invite to the game and they’ll be able to load into the world straight away. Click on the little downwards arrow next to your selected friend’s name, and choose “Invite to Lobby”. Then it’s just a case of inviting your friends to the session using Steam’s Friends List. Once you’ve done that you can click “Launch” and load into your world. In the options menu that pops up, you’ll want to make sure that “Allow friend joins” is enabled. Find the world you want to play on and open up the settings by clicking on the gear icon on the right-hand side.
Same as before, you’ll be met with the World Selection screen.
Once again, start by clicking the “Multiplayer” option on the Main Menu, and then select “Play with Friends”
