How To Set A Password On Your RimWorld Server

A server password keeps your RimWorld server private, so only players you share it with can join. How you set it depends on your server's mod.

Setting a Password on RimWorld Together

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Console.
  3. 3
    Type setpassword yourpassword with your own password and press Enter.

The password works straight away, no restart needed, and players enter it when they join. Use a password without spaces. To remove it, type clearpassword and press Enter.

Setting a Password on Open World

    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  3. 3
    Open Data/Config.json.
  4. 4
    Type your password between the quotes after ServerPassword, for example "ServerPassword": "yourpassword", then save the file.
  5. 5
    Start your server.

To remove the password, clear it so the line reads "ServerPassword": "", then restart your server.
