Summary
In Space Engineers, a whitelist is a feature used by server administrators to control access to their servers. It is essentially a list of approved player SteamIDs or usernames, allowing only those listed to join the server. By implementing a whitelist, server owners can create a private and exclusive gaming environment, ensuring that only trusted players or friends can participate in their Space Engineers world.
| Note | Space Engineers Torch uses a separate Whitelist system. Learn how to here. |
