Adding new worlds

Adding new worlds

There is two ways of adding new worlds to your game.

Adding a game file

1. Navigate to your stationeers game folder. (For Steam this is usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stationeers\)
2. From there navigate to rocketstation_Data\StreamingAssets\Data
3. Create a new file there named "worldsettings-custom.xml"
4. Edit your new file using an appropriate text editor.
5. Copy and paste the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GameData xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<WorldSettings>

<!-- Your worlds go here -->

</WorldSettings>
</GameData>

• Now you can insert your custom worlds where the placeholder is.

Notes

• You can look up built-in worlds in a file called "worldsettings.xml"

Example Worlds

Mimas

Mimas View

• Survival; 10% Gravity; 0 kPa; 18% Solar Power; 126° Inclination
• Nice view on Saturn
• Moon terrain, many craters
• Recycled from game files
• Missing translation; so it will state <T:EN:NEWWORLDAREAMIMASCUSTOM> instead.

( Maybe a new page for this info ? )

GameMode

Survival or Creative

MaxSunIntensity

How bright lighting is on this world. No effect to solar panel power. Value >= 0; Default is 1

Gravity

In m/s. Has to be negative.

TimeOfDay

Current time in %

Value between 0.0 and 1.0

WorldOreDensity

Default is 0.001; Vulcan is 0.005

SolarScale

Power factor to solar panels. Lower values reduce solar panel output.
