Starting a new prospect allows you to begin a fresh survival experience with a new objective, environment, and progression path. If you are hosting an ICARUS server for yourself or a group of players, knowing how to properly create and launch a new prospect is essential for keeping your server organized and ensuring everyone can join the correct game session. A prospect is a dedicated gameplay session where players can explore the world, gather resources, build bases, complete objectives, and work together to survive the planet's challenges. Depending on the type of prospect you want to run, you may need to select the appropriate map, mission, and gameplay settings before starting the session. These choices can influence the overall experience and determine the objectives players will need to complete. When managing a dedicated server, creating a new prospect may involve configuring the server's settings and selecting the appropriate prospect information before launching it. Verify your existing server configuration and make sure the required settings are applied correctly. If you are replacing an existing prospect or starting a completely new session, taking a moment to review your configuration can help prevent unexpected issues when players connect. This process is particularly useful when you want to start a new playthrough without affecting an existing prospect. A new prospect can provide a clean starting point for a different group of players, a new mission, or a different style of gameplay. It can also be useful for server administrators who regularly rotate missions or want to provide their community with fresh content. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to create and start a new prospect on your ICARUS server. We'll cover the necessary steps to prepare the server, configure the new prospect, launch it successfully, and verify that it is available for players to join. Following these steps will help ensure your new prospect is set up correctly and ready for your next ICARUS session.
