How To Adjust the Optimal Player Spawn Distance in Space Engineers

Note:

Decreasing this distance is fantastic for co-op servers, as players will spawn much closer together and can group up quickly. If you are running a massive PvP server, increasing the distance ensures players have a safe, hidden buffer zone to start building their first base.

7. Configure the Optimal Spawn Distance Setting

Scroll through the file or use Ctrl + F to find the <OptimalSpawnDistance> tag. The value inside this tag is measured in meters.

For Distant Spawns (Hidden/PvP): Increase the value to 25,000 meters or higher. Example: <OptimalSpawnDistance>25000</OptimalSpawnDistance>.

For Close Spawns (Co-op/Action): Lower the value to something like 4,000 meters. Example: <OptimalSpawnDistance>4000</OptimalSpawnDistance>.

For Standard Vanilla Spawns: Set the value to <OptimalSpawnDistance>16000</OptimalSpawnDistance>.
