FAQ
- Which Colony Survival server-admin tools are available?
- We list 5 tools for Colony Survival: Measured memory budget, Template port check, Optional firewall rules, Install and backup, JSON config and launch. All of them run straight in your browser.
- Does current Colony Survival require two fixed ports?
- The official 0.17 announcement improved automatic discovery without prior manual forwarding. The old developer Compose and JSON differ on ports; they are not mandatory-port rules for current builds. Use the game browser; this site does not implement current queries. Prefer +server.config and preserve WorldName and passwords.
- How do I install a dedicated Colony Survival server?
- Stop and back up gamedata/savegames, config and mods. After anonymous SteamCMD login, app_update 748090 -beta public validate explicitly returns to the default branch. The old 0.16.1 template is not a current-build guarantee. Use +server.config for server.config.json, preserving worlds and passwords. validate does not test recovery.
- Do these tools cost anything or need installing?
- No. Everything runs in the page: no install, no sign-up, no cost. Enter your values and the result appears instantly, and you can copy the generated configs and commands with one click.
