Custom Game Creator with its options.

Custom Game Creator with its options.

The Custom Game Creator is an ECP feature that allows players to generate their own private Starblast.io server with custom settings which can be shared with friends or other players. Maps generated cannot be joined by other players as they are unlisted unless if they have the link, which can be shared by the person who generated the map among friends or among the Starblast.io community, primarily through the Starblast.io Discord server. This is different from the mod editor.

The following settings are available to be tweaked in the Custom Game Generator:

  • Server Location (America, Asia, Brazil, and Europe)
  • Map name (if left blank, a random map name is generated)
  • Map size (Micro, Tiny, Small, Average, Big, Bigger, Even Bigger, Really Big, Biggest, Huge)
  • Map pattern (any number from 1 to 9999, each number has a unique procedurally generated map)
  • Game mode
    • Survival Mode
      • Survival Trigger Time (1- 60minutes)
      • Survival Trigger Level (2-Infinite)

One of the best usages (and most common use) of the Custom Game Creator is for dueling between players. Sporadic events arranged by the community or the developers also often happen in custom servers. Custom servers are posted frequently in the discord server.

One of the unique features of custom servers is the Survival Teams Mode, which allows the removal of all ship-to-ship damage between friendlies. Hence, a setting of 1 will disable all ship-to-ship damage, allowing for unique events. Players in this mode are arranged to teams alternatively when joining.

With the mod editor, player-created ships can be used in custom games. With enough ships, the entire tree can be replaced. Players are now also able to create their own maps. The best thing is that players can even create their own game modes (for example, barracuda demolition derby) through the mod editor. See Modding Tutorial for more details about this special feature.
