Space Engineers

This guide will detail how to install Tebex on both a vanilla and TorchAPI Space Engineers server.

Tebex is the provider of the official monetization solution for Space Engineers. We aim to ensure that as many servers as possible can rely on our service, so we provide two integrations:

  1. Space Engineers Vanilla Dedicated Servers

  2. TorchAPI

You can download the plugins for both server types from your control panel.

How to Install Tebex on the Space Engineers Dedicated Server

This guide is for vanilla Space Engineers, without TorchAPI installed. If you're using TorchAPI, consult the guide below.

The only commands available for vanilla Space Engineers are give_item and give_money. To run custom commands, you must use the TorchAPI-enabled plugin.

  1. Download the vanilla plugin from the plugins section of your control panel.

  2. Unzip Tebex-SpaceEngineers-VERSION.zip into your Server's folder

  3. Start the Space Engineers Dedicated Server, in the window that appears, click Continue to Server Configuration

  4. In the next window, click the Plugins tab.

  5. In the Plugins tab, click Add under Assemblies, navigate to where you unzipped the Tebex plugin, and select Tebex-SpaceEngineers.dll. After it's added, select Tebex from the list of Plugins to view its configuration area:

  6. Add your Secret Key from your Tebex control panel to the Secret Key field. Your secret key can be found here after setting up your Game Server: https://creator.tebex.io/game-servers

  7. Select Save & Start, you will be brought to the server console.

  8. After a few moments, the server will start up. You will see Tebex connecting to your store in the console:

2024-04-16 09:28:42.094: Plugin Init: TebexSpaceEngineersPlugin.TebexPlugin
2024-04-16 09:28:42.110: [Tebex] [INFO] Tebex is starting up...
2024-04-16 09:28:42.111: [Tebex] [INFO] Secret key is set. Loading store info...
2024-04-16 09:28:42.361: Game ready... 
2024-04-16 09:28:42.991: [Tebex] [INFO] Connected to store https://example.tebex.io as game server Example Store

Setup is completed once Tebex successfully connects to your store!

The Tebex plugin is mostly silent - you will only see messages in the console if errors occur or if items are successfully given to players for a payment.

If something is going wrong, you can enable Debug mode in the plugin's settings to see more in-depth logs.

Do not leave Debug Mode enabled for extended sessions. It should only be used for testing and debugging issues with your packages.

How to Install Tebex on the TorchAPI Dedicated Server

This guide is for a TorchAPI-enabled Space Engineers server.

  1. Download the Torch API plugin from the plugins section of your control panel. It is a zip file, but is it not necessary to unzip.

  2. Open the Plugins folder in your Torch API server’s base folder.

  3. Launch TorchAPI and set your store’s secret key. Your secret key can be found here: https://creator.tebex.io/game-servers

  • For a GUI server, go to the Plugins tab, choose Tebex from your list of plugins, and add your Secret Key from your Tebex control panel to the Secret Key field. Click Save Config.

  • For a dedicated server, start the game and join your server as an Owner. Run the command !tebex.secret yoursecrethere
