🚀 The Island’s Starbound Server

This website is to provide info for our Discord’s dedicated Starbound server.

💤 Info about the Server

The game has been modded to be greatly expanded in content, with deeper character RPG customization. These features along with more playable species offer a small-scale MMORPG-like experience.

🔌 How to Connect

In order to connect to the server, go to the multiplayer menu and connect to the IP 192.46.223.180 and the port 21025.

The server account and server password fields should be left blank.

🐥 Gameplay Info

  • Frackin’ Universe is a BIG mod. The Wiki offers a plethora of useful information. You can read more about Frackin’ Universe at the official Github hosted website.

  • Starbound is an unoptimized game with more than a few performance issues. It’s normal to have the occasional frame drops and lag. You can read more about the performance issues and possible fixes here. Tl;dr - Starbound is spaghetti code, renders from a single CPU core, and doesn’t utilize the GPU at all.

  • Expanding on the last point, starting the game in 32-bit mode avoids a potential memory leak.

  • I recommend setting the Zoom Level to 2x. This may cause a performance drop, but has obvious benefits. In game, select Options, then Graphics. On the left side of the window, drag the zoom slider to your preference.

  • The Quickbar menu in the top right corner contains a lot of useful features, be sure to check them out.
