Introduction

RCON (Remote Console) is a network protocol that lets you control your game server remotely. You can use it to run administrative commands without being connected to the game, for example to manage players or check the server status.

RCON is password-protected in Avorion and disabled by default. This guide explains how to enable RCON on your VPS and connect to it.

RCON commands

Once connected via RCON, you can run various administrative and diagnostic commands. Common commands include:

CommandDescription
/saveSaves the current game world
/statusDisplays the server and player status
/kick <playername>Kicks a player from the server
/ban <playername>Bans a player from the server
/unban <playername>Lifts a player's ban
/teleport <x> <y>Teleports the player to the specified sector coordinates
/tpto <playername>Teleports you to another player
/sethomeSets the current sector as your home
/homeTeleports you to your home sector
/give <itemName> <amount>Gives you items or resources

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Stop the server, enter a secure password for rconPassword in server.ini, and restart the server. RCON remains disabled while this value is empty.
RCON uses the port specified by rconPort in server.ini. The installer does not open it automatically, so if needed, allow it in the Windows Firewall and your VPS's network firewall.
You can use the rcon-cli command-line tool, for example: rcon-cli -a <IP>:<PORT> -p <PASSWORD> command.
