    Hello, would it be possible to have starbound run on one PC while setting up a dedicated server on my other pc? or would i need two game keys to do this? thanks.

    @Cias you could do it by logging in via steam on bolt computers, then logging out on the one you are hosting, and starting starbound in offline mode. Alternately, you could copy the Starbound folder to the server folder. You could also use the DRM free version from Humble Bundle (when it is available.)

    actually, by launching the server from the folder itself, the server.exe, it bypasses steam completely. so yes, you can run a server on one pc while play on another with the same cd key.
