Limit Planetary Spawns

Zyrack shared this bug ago

Solved

Good Morning Everyone,

I have a simple question and would love it if you could point me in the correct direction... I run a dedicated server and am looking to restrict planetary spawns to 1 specific planet. This forces the players to learn, build, create/manufacture then explore the other planets out there, find a new home and build a new or build a transport ship to carry their cargo vs. spawning on each planet until they find the one they want and planting a flag on it. PRE-Apex this was possable with a quick edit of the...I believe it was the respawnships.cfg. With the release of the new Apex, I am unable to find what file needs to be edited to have an "Earthlike" only spawn and no other planets are visable as a spawn point. Could you please help with this? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

I have the same bug

Hello Zyrack,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum.

You can limit respawn options to specific planets through the RespawnShips.sbc file.

To control where a respawn ship or pod can appear, look for (or add) this section inside its definition:

<PlanetType>Earthlike</PlanetType>

</PlanetTypes>

This section creates a whitelist of planet subtypes that the pod can be used for.

If the <PlanetTypes> section is not included, the pod will be available on all planets by default.

You can include multiple planets if you wish, for example:

<PlanetType>Earthlike</PlanetType>

<PlanetType>Alien</PlanetType>

</PlanetTypes>

After saving your changes, restart the server for the update to take effect.Where to Find the RespawnShips.sbc file

If you’re running the game via the Steam client, follow these steps :

In your Steam Library, locate Space Engineers Dedicated Server.
Right-click it and select Properties → Installed Files.
Click the Browse… button.
In the window that opens, navigate to Content→ Data
Find the RespawnShips.sbc file and edit it as needed.

We hope this helps you configure your server’s spawn rules exactly the way you want.
