Once they've joined, you'll need to invite them into your party by clicking on the plus sign on your character portrait on the upper left and typing in their character name. That is what your friends need to type in to join your server. To find the IP that you need to supply your friends, go to google and search "my IP", which will show your public address. This is the default "connect to yourself" IP address. To connect to your own server, type in the IP "127.0.0.1". You should recognize our old friend the command prompt feeding infomation as the server loads and will also list useful information such as when people connect and their character names. Setting up a basic server in Starbound is accomplished by launching it through the Starbound launcher. This guide is meant to be maximally simple, not maximally efficient.
This is true, but knowing your make and model is useful for looking up default passwords and possibly where the port forwarding section is. NOTE: Some of you will notice that looking up the IP address for your router is unnecessary in step 1 since you're going to open the command prompt for your IPv4 address anyway. At this point you can hit save settings on your router and begin testing.
So in my case, I have port 21025 forwarded to 192.168.1.1xx. Your router may fill in everything but the last 3 digits. This is the IP address you want the ports to be forwarded to. The information you're looking for is a line that says NOTE: The command for Mac, Linux, and other UNIX-like systems is "ifconfig" (credit for this tip goes to "A Rather Festive Icehat".
Once in the command prompt, type "ipconfig" (again, no quotes) and hit enter. If you've never used the command prompt before, know it's a very powerful tool that can ruin your PC if used improperly, or if you get PC advice from bad sources. Go to start and run, and type "cmd" (no quotes). Starbound's multiplayer utilizes port 21025, so you'll want to enter that into the appropiate location, and that port will be forewarded to the IP address of the wireless router (which will be identical to the IP address with an additional 2 digits that you need to figure out. Step 2: Finding your IPv4 Address and Forwarding a Port
