=== Logging Alternates ===
 
−
Logging seems to be broken, here are some old skool alternatives.<br>
 
−
Small downside is they break the input of the console but it doesn't seem to throw warnings like usual.
 
−
 
−
* Linux <code>rocketstation_DedicatedServer.x86_64 2>&1 | tee filename.txt</code>
 
−
** extra options would be --a or --append in front of the filename to keep appending to the logfile
 
−
* Windows (powershell) <code>rocketstation_DedicatedServer.exe &> | tee -file filename.txt</code>
 
−
** extra options would be -Append at the end to keep appending to the logfile
 
−
** Command Prompt <code>powershell rocketstation_DedicatedServer.exe ^| tee -File filename.txt</code>

The Mods folder in /StreamingAssets/ is not premade, but needs to be added manually. Put the mods you want in here, and the server will load them. It is unknown if a ModConfig is even needed when doing it this way.
