This is the dedicated server's settings file, according to RocketWerkz: the players' password, 1 to 8 slots and the prospect resumed at startup. Open it in the file manager or over SFTP with the server stopped, save, then start. It is in place from installation and your settings are kept. The server name and the admin password are rewritten there at every start from the OuiPanel variables.
Here, only admins can start a prospect. With the server stopped, save, then start.
Your prospects, file by file
The server keeps each prospect in its own .json file. Keep a copy over SFTP, or let OuiPanel backups handle it. Never rename these files: RocketWerkz warns that they would be corrupted.

Your Icarus session on a dedicated server.
The Icarus dedicated server is the official version from RocketWerkz, made for playing together without leaving a PC on. The studio recommends it for Open World. Here's how it works.
8 co-op playersThe game's limit, the same on our four plans. You never pay per slot.
Missions, Open World and OutpostsAccording to RocketWerkz, when no prospect is running, players land in the server lobby and start a mission, an outpost or the open world from there.
Settings in ServerSettings.iniPlayers' password, number of slots and resuming the last prospect.
Admin from the chat/AdminLogin and the admin password, then KickPlayer, BanPlayer or ReturnToLobby.
A session that waits for youAfter 5 minutes with no players, the server goes back to the lobby and the prospect pauses until you return.
An Icarus server host since 2018.
An Icarus server keeps your world, your bases and your creatures in memory while the session runs. Our Icarus server hosting gives it 10 to 24 GB of memory, NVMe storage and our network's DDoS protection. Your server runs in Marseille, Frankfurt, New York, Beauharnois or Sydney, close to your players. 24/7 support.

A question about your project? Our support answers 24/7.
Icarus server hosting costs $9.26 to $23.17 a month depending on memory, with Start 10 GB, Plus 12 GB, Pro 16 GB and Ultra 24 GB. All four plans take 8 players, the game's limit, so you never pay per slot. For cheap Icarus server hosting, Start is the entry plan, with DDoS protection, SFTP access and backups included.
The best Icarus server hosting gives you enough memory for your world, NVMe storage, access to ServerSettings.ini and your prospects, backups and the freedom to switch plans with no data loss. Our four plans tick every box, from $9.26 to $23.17 a month, with support that answers 24/7.
The Icarus dedicated server itself is free: RocketWerkz provides it without a game license. To host it at home, though, you need a Windows PC running all the time and port forwarding on your router. We offer neither free hosting nor a free trial. Renting an Icarus server from us starts at $9.26 a month, with no commitment.
With a host like OuiHeberg, pick a plan and a country, then pay: your server is created in OuiPanel with the official RocketWerkz dedicated server. Then set the password and the number of slots in ServerSettings.ini, and start the server. The admin password is already created, in OuiPanel.Read the setup guide →
No. The Icarus server downloads without a Steam account or a game license, as RocketWerkz intends. We need neither your username nor your password. Only your players need the game.
A few minutes: your server is online shortly after you order, the time it takes to download the server files, about 10 GB once installed.
On an Icarus private server, the world no longer depends on whoever hosts the session. Everyone joins when they like, nobody leaves a PC running, and the password decides who gets in. RocketWerkz also recommends a dedicated server for Open World.
8 players at once at most, on all our plans. That is the limit RocketWerkz sets for the dedicated server: the MaxPlayers setting goes from 1 to 8. A bigger plan doesn't add slots, it gives your world more headroom.
Yes. It appears in the Steam server list, under the name entered in the Server Name variable in OuiPanel.
RocketWerkz gives no official figure. RAM grows with the size of the world and the number of players: 12 GB suits a group of 8, which is the Plus plan. The plans above leave headroom for a large open world.
RocketWerkz only releases a Windows version of the dedicated server. On our Linux machines it runs with Wine, a compatibility layer for Windows programs. You have nothing to install, and ServerSettings.ini stays the same as on Windows.
Yes, every player, on PC with Steam. Our servers are built for the PC version. For the console edition, released on PS5 and Xbox Series in March 2026, we promise neither dedicated servers nor crossplay.
They are Icarus's three modes. Missions are timed prospects, Open World is a persistent world, and Outposts are permanent bases. RocketWerkz recommends a dedicated server for Open World.
No, the session waits for your players. That's how RocketWerkz designed it: after 5 minutes with no players, the dedicated server goes back to the lobby and pauses the prospect, which resumes when they return. The ShutdownIfEmptyFor and ResumeProspect settings in ServerSettings.ini change this behavior.
In ServerSettings.ini, the dedicated server's official file. JoinPassword sets the players' password, MaxPlayers the number of slots from 1 to 8, and ResumeProspect resumes the last prospect at startup. Open it in the OuiPanel file manager or over SFTP with the server stopped, save, then start. The file is in place from installation and your settings are kept. The server name and the admin password are rewritten there at every start from OuiPanel: change them in the variables, not in the file.Read the SFTP guide →
Restart it after a game update. The automatic update variable is on by default: at every start, the server checks the Icarus version and installs the latest one. Your players need the same version as the server.
The admin password is generated at delivery, 16 characters long. You'll find it, and can change it, in OuiPanel under Server Settings, in the Environment Variables card. In game, type /AdminLogin followed by that password in the chat and you are admin.
You type them in the game chat, after a slash: AdminLogin, KickPlayer, BanPlayer, UnbanPlayer, ReturnToLobby, ReturnToLobbyWhenEmpty and AdminSay. In the lobby, LoadProspect, CreateProspect and ResumeProspect load, create or resume a prospect. Icarus has no remote RCON.Read the admin commands guide →
Yes, without support from us. Icarus has no official mods and no Steam Workshop: community mods are .pak files, which you upload over SFTP to Icarus/Content/Paks/mods. Every player must install the same ones. A mod can stop working after a game update. Make a backup first. OuiPanel backups don't include mods, so keep your .pak files on your side.Read the mods guide →
From OuiPanel, on demand or scheduled, every night for example. Start keeps 2 backups, Plus 3, Pro 10 and Ultra 20. The server stores each prospect in its own .json file, which you should never rename. Backups are light: they keep the world, the configuration and your prospects, without the game files. A backup is restored from the Backups tab in OuiPanel, and the game downloads again on its own.
Yes. When you stop the server from OuiPanel, Icarus saves the game before shutting down.
Yes. Every server is protected by our network's DDoS protection, up to 3 Tbps, at no extra cost.
In France in Marseille, Germany in Frankfurt, the United States in New York, Canada in Beauharnois and Australia in Sydney. Start, Plus and Pro are available everywhere, Ultra everywhere except Australia, at the same price. Pick the country closest to your players.
Yes. Upgrading resizes your server with no reinstall and no data loss, in the same country.
Yes, with OuiPanel sub-users. You choose what each person can do, like starting the server, opening the console or editing files, without sharing your password.
