Joining a MultiworldGG Session

Connecting to server

Once your save is loaded in DREDGE, you can join your MultiworldGG multiworld using any of the following methods:

Terminal Command

The in-game terminal lets you type commands directly.

To open the terminal:

• On most English (US/UK) keyboards, press ~ or ` (the key above Tab).
• On some non-English layouts, that key may differ:
  • 🇩🇪 German: try ö
  • 🇫🇷 French (AZERTY): try ù or ²
  • 🇪🇸 Spanish: try ñ
  • 🇸🇪 Swedish/Nordic: try § or ½
  • If none of these work, look for the key just above the Tab key or to the left of the number 1 key — it usually opens the terminal regardless of the printed symbol.

Once the terminal is open, type: ap connect <hostname> <port> <slot name> [-p <password>]

• Example: ap connect multiworld.gg 38281 boatguy
• You can include spaces in your slot name (e.g. ap connect multiworld.gg 38281 boat guy).
• The -p (or password=<value>) part is optional — only needed if the server requires a password.

Mod Config Menu

1. Open the in-game DREDGE Menu.
2. Click the Mods tab.
3. Enter your server details (host, port, slot name, and optional password).
4. Close the DREDGE menu.
5. Connect or disconnect at any time:

• Press F8 to connect using the current settings.
• Press F10 to disconnect.

(You can also open the terminal and simply type ap connect to connect using your current mod settings.)

Pop-up UI

1. Press F7 to open the in-game connection window.
2. Enter or confirm your connection details.
3. Click Connect to join the server.

• Press Disconnect to leave.

Notes

• All three methods use the same saved configuration, so updates made in one place will appear in the others.
• If connection fails, check your host, port, and slot name carefully.
• You can safely disconnect and reconnect at any time without restarting DREDGE.
