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.

Adding a mod file

Todo

World Settings Attributes

( Maybe a new page for this info ? )

GameMode

Survival or Creative

MaxSunIntensity

Factor 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

Time of day factor on world creation.

Value between 0.0 and 1.0

WorldOreDensity

Density of ore spawn. Higher values result in more ore spawn.

Default is 0.001; Vulcan is 0.005

SolarScale

Power factor to solar panels. Higher values result in increased solar panel output.
