How To Whitelist Players On Your Colony Survival Server

A whitelist allows you to control exactly who can join your Colony Survival server. When there are SteamID entries in whitelist.txt, only those players will be able to connect. All others will be denied access.

Setting Up The Whitelist

Caution

Once you add any IDs to whitelist.txt, only those players will be able to join your server. Make sure to include your own Steam64 ID!

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files and navigate to gamedata/savegames.
  3. 3
    Open whitelist.txt. If it doesn't exist yet, click Create File to make one.
  4. 4
    Add your SteamID64 on its own line. For multiple players, add each ID on a new line:
    76561198106341655
    76561325467543212
    
  5. 5
    Start your server.

Removing The Whitelist

To disable the whitelist and allow anyone to join, delete all the IDs from whitelist.txt so the file is empty.
