Subnautica Nitrox Admin and Commands Guide

Available in: ESPAÑOL

This guide covers server administration, console commands, permission management, save management, and troubleshooting for your Subnautica Nitrox server on Legion Hosting. For initial setup and player connection instructions, see Subnautica Nitrox Server Setup Guide.

1. Server Console

The Nitrox server provides a console accessible via the Console tab in GPanel. Type commands directly into the console input field while the server is running.

2. Admin Access

Admin access is controlled by the SUBNAUTICA_ADMIN_PASSWORD startup variable (or AdminPassword in server.cfg). Players can authenticate as admin in-game to execute privileged commands.

Change the default admin password. The default admin password is PleaseChangeMe. Change this immediately in the GPanel Startup tab to prevent unauthorized admin access.

3. Console Commands

Command Description
help Lists all available server commands.
say [message] Broadcasts a message to all connected players.
list Shows all connected players.
kick [name] Kicks a player from the server.
ban [name] Bans a player from the server.
unban [name] Removes a player's ban.
save Forces an immediate world save.
op [name] Grants a player admin/operator permissions.
deop [name] Removes admin/operator permissions from a player.
stop Gracefully shuts down the server.
Use stop for clean shutdowns. Always prefer the stop command or the GPanel Stop button to ensure the world is saved before the server shuts down.

4. Permission Levels

Nitrox uses a permission hierarchy for player access control. The DefaultPlayerPerm setting in server.cfg determines what permissions new players receive.

Level Description
NONE No permissions. Players cannot interact with the game world.
PLAYER Standard player permissions. Can play the game normally.
MODERATOR Can kick players and perform basic moderation.
ADMIN Full admin permissions including ban, op, and server configuration.
CONSOLE Highest level. Only available through the server console.

5. Save Management

Auto-Save

Auto-save is controlled by two settings:

  • SAVE_INTERVAL -- Time between auto-saves in milliseconds. Default is 120000 (2 minutes).
  • SAVE_DISABLE -- Set to True to disable auto-save entirely.

Manual Save

Use the save command in the GPanel console to trigger an immediate world save.

Save File Location

World saves are stored in the server directory with the name specified by SAVE_NAME (default: world).

Backups

  1. Stop the server (or use save first).
  2. Download the save directory and server.cfg via SFTP.
  3. Store the backup in a safe location.

6. Default Player Stats

The following default player values can be adjusted in server.cfg:

Setting Default Description
DefaultOxygenValue 45 Starting oxygen level for new players.
DefaultMaxOxygenValue 45 Maximum oxygen capacity for new players.
DefaultHealthValue 80 Starting health value for new players.
DefaultHungerValue 50.5 Starting hunger level for new players.
DefaultThirstValue 90.5 Starting thirst level for new players.
DefaultInfectionValue 0.1 Starting infection level (Kharaa). Set to 0 to start cured.

7. Updating Nitrox

To update to a new Nitrox version:

  1. Set NITROX_VERSION to latest (or a specific version) in the GPanel Startup tab.
  2. Click Reinstall in GPanel to download and install the new version.
  3. Ensure all players update their client-side Nitrox to the matching version.
Back up your save before updating. While Nitrox updates generally preserve saves, it is always best to back up your world before performing an update.

8. Troubleshooting

Issue Solution
Installation fails (Steam Guard) Enter the Steam Guard code in STEAM_GUARDCODE and reinstall. Codes expire quickly -- act promptly.
Players cannot connect Verify IP/port in GPanel, check Nitrox version match between client and server, and ensure the correct password is used.
Desync between players This is a known Nitrox limitation. Try having all players disconnect and reconnect. Ensure all players are on the same Nitrox version.
Save corruption Restore from a backup. If no backup exists, try starting with a fresh save by changing the SAVE_NAME value.
Server crashes after Subnautica update A Subnautica game update may break Nitrox compatibility. Check the Nitrox GitHub for a compatible release.
