== Settings ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Key !! What it does
|-
| <code>DedicatedServerName</code> || The server's public name in the in-game server list. This is also '''how players join''' — there is no direct-IP join — so keep it unique.
|-
| <code>MaxPlayers</code> || Player cap. Dedicated servers support up to '''16''' (raised from 8 in update v0.8.7).
|-
| <code>DedicatedServerDescription</code> || Free-text description shown with the server in the in-game list.
