Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes
- Set the dedicated server's world If you're starting a dedicated server, set LoadWorld to the world path you want loaded. Without it, the server may not load the save you intended. source
- Add admin Steam IDs before starting Use Administrators to list Steam IDs (the unique player IDs Steam uses) for people who should have server control, either in SteamID format or starting with STEAM_0:. Without them, you may not get admin access. source
- First startup First startup may take a long time because the container downloads the game server files. source
- Requirements Players need to own Space Engineers on Steam to join the server. source
- Archived Source Repo The official GitHub repository is archived and the source code is no longer updated; the Docker container image remains the active way to run the dedicated server. source
