Instead of hosting locally, you can connect directly to a dedicated server using its <strong>Game ID<\/strong>. Below, we\u2019ll guide you step by step through the process of finding your Game ID and joining the server from inside the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Start your server.<\/strong><br>Log in to your control panel and click on <code>Start<\/code> to launch your Core Keeper server. You must have the server online before attempting to join.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open the server files.<\/strong><br>From your control panel, click on the <code>Files<\/code> section to view your server\u2019s directory. This is where configuration files and server identifiers are stored.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Locate the <code>GameID.txt<\/code> file.<\/strong><br>Inside the server files, look for a document called <code>GameID.txt<\/code>. This file contains the unique identifier used to connect to your server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Copy your Game ID.<\/strong><br>Open the <code>GameID.txt<\/code> file and copy the string of characters inside. This is your server\u2019s connection code and you\u2019ll need it in the next step.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Launch Core Keeper.<\/strong><br>Start the Core Keeper game on your PC and wait until you reach the main menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Select &#8220;Join Game.&#8221;<\/strong><br>From the main menu, click on <code>Join Game<\/code> to open the multiplayer connection screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paste the Game ID.<\/strong><br>In the text field provided, paste the Game ID string you copied earlier. Double-check that you copied the entire code with no spaces missing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Click &#8220;Join.&#8221;<\/strong><br>Finally, click on <code>Join<\/code> to connect. If the server is online and your ID is correct, you will load directly into the shared Core Keeper world.<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
