Port | Default (UDP) |
---|---|
Game (Primary Port in Pterodactyl) | 7777 |
Server Query | 27015 |
Bare Minimum | Recommended | |
---|---|---|
Processor | No ARM support. | Recent x86/64 (AMD/Intel) processor. |
RAM | 550 MiB | 1024-4096 MiB |
Storage | 5632 MiB | 7168 MiB |
Network | 3 MiB/s | 7 MiB/s |
Game Ownership | Not required to start. | Recommended to fully configure server (see Server Configuration below) |
NOTE: Server Name and Max Players will be overwritten by your Pterodactyl Startup settings every time the server is started.
Configuring all aspects of the server (MOTD, game rules, map list, admins, etc.) is, by far, the easiest (and safest) to do in-game via the built in admin menu. Perform the following steps to do so:
/home/container/GroundBranch/ServerConfig
within Pterodactyl's file browser and open AdminSetupPassword.txt
.`
and run the following command: admin setup <your_setup_password>
. This will add you as a SuperAdmin.admin
will open the Admin Menu where you can configure everything about the server.All configuration files for the server can be found here: /home/container/GroundBranch/ServerConfig
Please refer to the Unofficial Ground Branch Wiki for configuration info.
At the time of writing this (2023/08/01), no workshop mods for Ground Branch exist. However, if they were to be introduced or you would like to install a mod, mods can be installed to /home/container/steamapps/workshop/content/16900/
. The server should then stage them to /home/container/GroundBranch/Mods
and show up as "Mod ID #" in the in-game modding menu.

[REQUIRED] Server Query Port | This is the port that your clients will type in and use to connect to the lobby (not the game world). Ensure this port matches your externally forwarded port, and is distanced from other running Ground Branch servers in Pterodactyl (increments of 100 are recommended). This is also true for the Primary/Game Port! | QUERY_PORT | 27015 | Yes | No |
Automatic Updates | Quickly checks for any server updates on startup, and updates if necessary. (1 ON | 0 OFF) | AUTO_UPDATE | 1 | Yes | Yes |
Server Name | The name of the server that will appear in the server list. | SERVER_NAME | Unnamed Ground Branch Server | Yes | Yes |
Max Players | Maximum number of players allowed to connect to the server. | MAX_PLAYERS | 16 | Yes | Yes |
[Repair] Validate Server Files | Leave empty (no value) for OFF or type "true" or "1" for ON. Validates all server files when Automatic Updates is enabled. Note: This will significantly increase server startup times, so it is recommended to only enable this when needed. | VALIDATE | Yes | Yes | |
[System] Ground Branch Dedicated Server App ID | Steam App ID used for installation and updates. Cannot be changed. | SRCDS_APPID | 476400 | No | No |
[System] Use Windows Branch | Tells the installer/updater to only download the Windows branch of the server (the only branch currently available) so that it can run on Wine. Cannot be changed. | WINDOWS_INSTALL | 1 | No | No |
[System] WINEDEBUG | Used to suppress WINE FIXME messages. Rarely needs to be changed. | WINEDEBUG | -all | No | No |
[System] WINEARCH | Used for compatibility. Cannot be changed. | WINEARCH | win64 | No | No |
[System] WINEPATH | Used for compatibility. Cannot be changed. | WINEPATH | /home/container | No | No |
