How to Host an Eden Star Server – Step-by-Step Guide for Pioneers & Defenders

If you're ready to build, craft, automate, and defend your base from hostile creatures on Pharus 7, hosting your own Eden Star server is the best way to take full control of your experience. Customize world settings, difficulty, enemy waves, mods, and create a unique environment for your group or community.

This guide explains how to host your own Eden Star server and why Citadel Servers is an excellent partner for your sci-fi survival adventure.

Step 1: Choose a Reliable Hosting Provider

Eden Star is a physics-driven sci-fi survival game featuring destructible environments, modular base building, energy systems, and wave-based enemy attacks. To maintain smooth performance—especially during intense combat, large bases, or modded sessions—you need strong hardware and stable networking.

Performance: High-frequency CPUs and NVMe SSD storage ensure smooth simulation ticks, fast world loading, stable physics interactions, and responsive combat.

Network Quality: Low-latency connections help maintain stable multiplayer sync, smooth movement, consistent energy transfer systems, and reliable enemy behavior.

Ease of Management: A clean control panel makes it simple to adjust server rules, difficulty settings, mod configurations, and custom world options.

Support Availability: 24/7 support ensures help is always available—especially useful when configuring custom settings, mods, or optimizing performance.

Citadel Servers provides all of this, delivering the stability and performance needed for intense combat, large bases, and heavily modded Eden Star sessions.

Step 2: Order Your Hosting Plan

Setting up your Eden Star server is quick and easy:

1. Go to the Eden Star hosting page.

2. Choose how many player slots you want.

3. Pick your server location closest to your player base for the best ping.

4. Select any extras, like process priority, premium support, etc.

5. Proceed to checkout — once payment is confirmed, your server deploys automatically.

You’ll receive an email with your control panel login details and connection info within minutes.

Step 3: Configure Your Server

Now it’s time to customize your Eden Star experience:

- Follow our Quick Start Guide

Then adjust your world and gameplay options:

Set your server name, description, password, and admin access.

Configure difficulty settings: enemy strength, wave frequency, resource abundance, and environmental hazards.

Adjust world rules: day/night cycle, decay rate, respawn settings, and building restrictions.

Install mods using the built-in Mod Manager or upload files manually via FTP/SFTP.

Manage auto-saves, backups, scheduled restarts, and log settings.

Edit configuration files directly through the Citadel Control Panel for deeper customization.

The control panel is designed for both beginner and advanced players, giving you full control with minimal complexity.

Step 4: Launch and Play

Once your configuration is complete, start your server with a single click and invite your players.

They can join through the in-game server browser or by entering your server’s IP and port directly.

You can monitor players, restart the server, review logs, apply new configurations, or manage mods at any time—right from the control panel.
