Change number of asteroids Space Engineers

Rent your own Space Engineers server at 4Netplayers.com

---

How you can change the density of the asteroids and thus their number, we describe here.
Important: Please make all changes only when the server is stopped!
Otherwise it can happen that the changes are not applied.

SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg

This method only works if the server has not been started yet!
If the server has already been started, the change can only be made in the savegame itself.
We describe how to do this further down.

To be able to edit the SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg your configuration must be in Advanced Mode.
Now search for the following lines:

<SpawnShipTimeMultiplier>0.5</SpawnShipTimeMultiplier>
<DestructibleBlocks>true</DestructibleBlocks>

Change them as follows:

<SpawnShipTimeMultiplier>0.5</SpawnShipTimeMultiplier>
<ProceduralDensity>0.35</ProceduralDensity>
<ProceduralSeed>1234567890</ProceduralSeed>
<DestructibleBlocks>true</DestructibleBlocks>

Click Save and start your server.
Info: You can enter any seed you want in <ProceduralSeed></ProceduralSeed>.
1234567890 is just an example here.

sandbox.sbc & sandbox_config.sbc

If the server has already been started, you can only change the number of asteroids in the savegame.
For this you have to download sandbox.sbc and sandbox_config.sbc.
We describe how to do this HERE.
Find the following section in both files:

<SpawnShipTimeMultiplier>0.5</spawnShipTimeMultiplier>
<DestructibleBlocks>true</DestructibleBlocks>

Change the section as follows:

<SpawnShipTimeMultiplier>0.5</SpawnShipTimeMultiplier>
<ProceduralDensity>0.35</ProceduralDensity>
<ProceduralSeed>1234567890</ProceduralSeed>
<DestructibleBlocks>true</DestructibleBlocks>

Save the changes and upload the files back to the Saves FTP.
You can find out how to upload your savegame HERE.
Info: You can enter any seed you want in <ProceduralSeed></ProceduralSeed>.
1234567890 is just an example here.
