The important thing is to forward port 21025 over TCP to your computer acting as server.Īs a reminder, your friend needs to use the IP address that you got from what's my IP unless he's on your network. This depends on your router and is a great website with examples specific to various makes and models of router. If it comes back as closed, then you need to setup port forwarding. If you PM me your IP I'll see if I can connect. If that test comes back saying your port is open, then your friend is doing something wrong. That website should tell you if it's open or closed, and if it is open then your server window should spit out a bit of text about a denied connection and having expected a connection packet (that's normal, just ignore it). To see if this is the issue, go to and test port 21025 (the starbound server port) while your server is running. Exact instructions will vary based upon your network hardware. It sounds like your port is blocked, preventing your friends from joining. In an adventure game you generally play through a story, usually as the protagonist. Action games are fast paced and tend to put the player in the middle of the action, requiring you to jump over obstacles, climb ladders, and shoot things.
