Setting Everything Up

Assuming you already own Core Keeper on Steam, you already have access to the dedicated server software.

  1. Open your Steam Library
  2. Search for Core Keeper (the server is usually hidden until searched)
  3. Install Core Keeper Dedicated Server

After installing the game server, you can immediately open the server within Steam, however we need to set some things up.

Create the tunnel

  • Type: UDP
  • Local IP: 127.0.0.1
  • Port: NULL

After the tunnel is created, set the local port to the tunnel’s public facing port (41272)
