How To Remove or Increase the PCU Limit on Your Space Engineers Server

Note:

PCU (Performance Cost Unit) is a hard limit in Space Engineers on how many blocks and functional systems you can build in one world. This stops servers from crashing due to huge, overly complex player creations. If you’re running a private server for a small group of friends, or have upgraded hardware, you’ll probably want to increase this limit, allowing players to build massive capital ships and sprawling stations.

1. Log In to Your Panel

---

2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

---

3. Select 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. Adjust the PCU Limits

Scroll through the file or use Ctrl + F to locate the following tags to customise your limits:

To increase the total limit: Find the <TotalPCU> tag. The default is often 100000. You can safely increase this to 500000 or even 1000000 for a much more relaxed building experience.

To completely disable the limit: Find the <BlockLimitsEnabled> tag. By default, this is usually set to GLOBALLY or PER_PLAYER. To remove all building limits and allow infinite PCU, carefully change this word to NONE.

Note: Setting limits to NONE means players can build until the server hardware physically cannot keep up, which can cause lag or crashes on very busy servers.

8. Save the Changes

9. Restart Your Server
