Crossplay servers run without mods, and without Torch. Clear every Steam Workshop mod from Mods on your server page before you turn on Console Compatibility. A Steam mod stops a console world from loading.
Consoles load a world with at most 3 kinds of planet. For a planet world, pick Home System, Distant Worlds or Distant Moons as the Map on your server page. The panel will not turn on Console Compatibility for a PC-only world such as Star System or Alien Planet.

In order to see your server in the in game browser, you must click on this button.
Space Engineers server browser with the Steam button and the E (Epic Online Services) button beside the search box, a red arrow pointing at the E button.

If you have saved settings in TOOLS > Server Config, set Network Type to Crossplay (Epic Online Services) and turn on Console Compatibility there instead, because Server Config writes this file every time the server starts.

1. Stop your server from the panel.

2. Log in to FTP using WinSCP (a free FTP software) using the connection details found in the "FTP Details" section of your server's page in the Command Center, with encryption set to TLS/SSL Explicit encryption.

3. Navigate to the "Instance" directory and open the SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg file
4. Scroll to the bottom of the file to locate the below settings

  • ConsoleCompatibility
  • NetworkType

5. Once those settings have been located change them as follows:

  • NetworkType set it to -> eos
  • ConsoleCompatibility set it to -> true

6. Save the file and restart the server
