Aloft Server Setup Guide


This guide covers setting up and configuring your Aloft dedicated server on Legion Hosting. Aloft is a co-op sandbox survival game set among floating islands where players build skyships, explore, and cure fungal corruption. For admin tools and server management, see our Aloft Admin Commands guide.

What is Aloft?

Aloft is a cooperative sandbox survival game developed by Astrolabe Interactive. Players soar through skies filled with floating islands, building skyships, gathering resources, and working to restore a corrupted ecosystem. The game supports up to 8 players in co-op multiplayer.

First Start

  1. Log in to GPanel at gpanel.legionhosting.net
  2. Select your Aloft server from the server list
  3. Review your Startup Variables — set your save name, server name, and player count before first launch
  4. Click Start to launch the server
  5. On first boot, the server will create the world with your configured number of islands — this may take a moment
  6. Once the console displays Server Ready, players can connect
Ports: Ports are randomly assigned unless you have a private IP. Your server's assigned port is shown in GPanel on your server's main page.

GPanel Startup Variables

These startup variables control your Aloft server configuration directly from GPanel:

Variable Description Default
SAVE_NAME Name of the save file and map. No spaces allowed. Aloft
SERVER_NAME Name displayed in the server browser. No spaces (use underscores). A_Pterodactyl_Hosted_Server
MAX_PLAYERS Maximum number of concurrent players (1-8) 8
NUM_ISLANDS Number of floating islands generated in the world. Only applies on first world creation. 500
CREATIVE_MODE Enable creative mode (1) or survival (0). Only applies on first world creation. 0
IS_VISIBLE Whether the server appears in the lobby browser (true/false) true
PRIVATE_ISLANDS Protect home island spawning (true/false) false
ADMIN_IDS Steam64 IDs of admins, separated by spaces (empty)
Important: The NUM_ISLANDS and CREATIVE_MODE settings only take effect when the world is first generated. Changing them after the world exists has no effect. To apply new values, you must delete the save and start fresh.

How to Connect

Via Server Browser

  1. Launch Aloft from Steam
  2. From the main menu, select Multiplayer
  3. Browse or search for your server by name in the lobby list
  4. Select the server and click Join

Via Direct Connect

  1. Launch Aloft from Steam
  2. Use your server's IP address and port from GPanel to connect directly
Finding Your Server IP: Your server's IP and port are shown on GPanel's main page. For details, see our How to Find Your Server IP and Port guide.

Save File Location

Aloft stores save data in the Wine prefix directory:

.wine/drive_c/users/container/AppData/LocalLow/Astrolabe Interactive/Aloft/Data01/Saves/
  w_YourSaveName/    <-- World save folder

Resetting the World

  1. Stop the server in GPanel
  2. Open the File Manager
  3. Navigate to the save path above
  4. Delete the w_YourSaveName folder
  5. Adjust NUM_ISLANDS or CREATIVE_MODE if desired
  6. Start the server — a new world will be generated
Warning: Deleting the save folder is permanent. All player progress and builds will be lost. Create a backup via SFTP before resetting.
