Server will connect to the database and there will be red text mixed in with green and yellow. If it is mostly red and crashes then check settings. If it is mostly green/white then it will be fine. You should let it run at least 5-10 minutes the first time before the name shows up on the steam list.

Closing thoughts

I want to thank Bobkik for all of his help the other day with getting started with this game. The initial documentation provided, while correct is lacking in detail that most users will need. I hope this guide will help you get a server up and running.

Total time smashing head against wall: 18 hours.
Head Smashers that I could not have figured this out without:
Clifford_AKA_Miku
Nehpets
and Mega thanks to:
STS_Desert whom spent over 8 hours on his own with no success.

Thank you all!

Please comment if one of the steps is wrong or I missed something and I will fix the guide.
Remember this is 1 day after release and a better guide may come in the future from the dev team. If not I hope this serves you all well!
