How To Enable Crossplay (EOS) for Xbox and PlayStation Players on Your Space Engineers Server

Note:

Enabling crossplay changes a few fundamental rules for your server! Standard Steam Workshop mods will no longer work; you must use Mod.io to install console-friendly mods instead. Additionally, crossplay servers are limited to a maximum of 3 planets to ensure consoles can handle the performance load. If your current save has more than 3 planets, you will need to generate a new world.

1. Log In to Your Panel

2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

The Cybrancee panel dashboard with an arrow pointing to the Files tab.

3. Select the ‘config’ Folder

The server file manager showing the config folder.

4. Select the ‘SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg‘ File

Selecting the SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg file in the file manager.

7. Configure the Crossplay Settings

You will need to locate and change three specific lines within this file to successfully bridge the gap between platforms. Scroll through the file or use Ctrl + F to find and update the following tags:

Enable CrossPlatform (If Present): Locate the <CrossPlatform>false</CrossPlatform> line and change the value to true.

Changing the NetworkType tag to eos for crossplay

Change the Network Type: Locate the <NetworkType>steam</NetworkType> line and change the value to eos. The line should look exactly like this: <NetworkType>eos</NetworkType>

Setting the CrossPlatform tag to true in the dedicated server config

Enable Console Compatibility: Locate the <ConsoleCompatibility>false</ConsoleCompatibility> line and change the value to true.

Setting the ConsoleCompatibility tag to true in the dedicated server config

8. Save the Changes

9. Restart Your Server
