Astroneer

Connect Astroneer dedicated servers to Takaro through the community bridge and outbound generic connector.

Takaro connects to your Astroneer dedicated server through the community-maintained Takaro Astroneer Bridge. The bridge runs next to your server, talks to Astroneer over RCON, and connects outbound to Takaro.

For a product overview, see the Astroneer server manager page.

Prerequisites​

  • An Astroneer dedicated server with file access
  • Node.js 18 or newer
  • A Takaro registration token for a Generic game server
  • Access to restart the Astroneer server

Install Node.js​

On Windows, open PowerShell as Administrator and install Node.js:

winget install OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS

Restart the machine after installing Node.js so node and npm are available in new terminals.

Download the bridge​

Download the bridge from the Takaro Astroneer Bridge releases page or from the upstream installation guide. Extract it into a folder outside the Astroneer server directory.

If the extracted package includes source files, open PowerShell or Command Prompt in the bridge folder and install dependencies:

npm install

Enable Astroneer RCON​

Edit the Astroneer server settings file:

\astroneer\Astro\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\AstroServerSettings.ini

Add or update these values:

ConsolePort=5000
ConsolePassword=your-password-here

Save the file and restart the Astroneer server.

Configure Takaro​

Edit TakaroConfig.txt in the bridge folder:

IDENTITY_TOKEN=my-astroneer-server
REGISTRATION_TOKEN=your-takaro-registration-token
TAKARO_API_URL=https://api.takaro.io
HTTP_PORT=3535
RCON_HOST=127.0.0.1
RCON_PORT=5000
RCON_PASSWORD=your-password-here

Use the same RCON_PASSWORD value as ConsolePassword in AstroServerSettings.ini.

To get a Takaro registration token, open the Takaro dashboard, add a game server, select Generic as the game type, and copy the registration token.

Start the bridge​

Start the bridge after the Astroneer server is running:

start.bat

The bridge should connect to Takaro and to Astroneer RCON. Keep the bridge running while the Astroneer server is online.

Verify the connection​

Check the bridge window or takaro-bridge.log. Takaro should show the Astroneer server online after the WebSocket and RCON connections succeed.

For the upstream guide, see the Takaro Astroneer Bridge documentation.
