Cannot start new world - Premade world not found

[CyGor84]

Hello,

I'm trying to start a server with docker, but everytime I try to start it, the console on my Dockge tell's me:

space-engineers-server | 2023-12-18 21:40:51.122: Cannot start new world - Premade world not found
space-engineers-server | -----------------------------------END GAME----------------------------------
space-engineers-server | -----------------------------------BYE !!!!----------------------------------
space-engineers-server exited with code 0

Where can I set the new world, or transfer a world from other instance?

Hi,

You have to create a world first with the dedicated server tool. Then upload it to your server.
I have no detailed instruction right now as i am at work. If you need some please let me know, but i cant tell when i have time to add it.

First off, sorry to necro this discussion almost 2 months later, but I am having the same problem.

This is my file system inside of the Instances folder, what am I missing?

My relocation is almost done but i've still much work to do until i can focus on help here sorry. I Also will re-investigate the repo and maybe upgrade wine. Then i will add a detailled instruction how to setup an instance correctly.

Hello. I am having the same issue as above using the same folder structure. I am not sure how to get the image to accept the pre-made world from the dedicated server app.

Hello,

first create a new world and start it once with the Deditacted Server Tool.

Upload everything and renaming the folder
instance/<instance_name>/Saves/StarSystem 05-25-2025 19-44-13
to
instance/<instance_name>/Saves/StarSystem
get it working for me.

Verify that in the "SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg" the WorldName is set correct:
<WorldName>StarSystem</WorldName>

May someone helps this.

This worked! thank you, Essentially whatever you set the world name to in the initial set-up before transferring you just have to modify the save file to match!

I have built the world and imported it but i am still getting the premade world not found, i think i have followed everything correctly any suggestions?

I feel like the issue im running into may be related to where the .cfg file is?
