How To Enable Voxel Destruction on Your Space Engineers Server

Note:

Voxel destruction allows players to mine ore, dig into asteroids, and permanently deform the terrain of planets. If disabled, all voxels (terrain) become completely indestructible, meaning players cannot mine by hand or with ship drills. This is often disabled on creative or racing servers to keep the environment pristine, but it is essential for standard survival gameplay.

1. Log In to Your Panel

---

2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

---

3. Selecr the ‘config’ Folder

---

4. Select the ‘Saves’ Folder

---

5. Select the ‘World’ Folder

---

6. Inside the ‘World’ Folder, Select the ‘Sandbox_config.sbc‘ File

---

7. Toggle Voxel Destruction

Scroll through the file or use Ctrl + F to find the <EnableVoxelDestruction> tag.

To enable mining and terrain damage, change the value to true so the line looks exactly like this:

<EnableVoxelDestruction>true</EnableVoxelDestruction>

To disable terrain deformation, change the value to false:

<EnableVoxelDestruction>false</EnableVoxelDestruction>

Ensure all letters are lowercase and there are no extra spaces.
