User story

I want the server to start after install, even if by default settings.

Game

Stationeers

Linux distro

Ubuntu 20.04

Command

command: install

Further information

When running the install command, everything installs correctly until the it tries to pull the config files. It pulls the default.ini, but when it tries to pull the setting.xml it gives the following error;

Config file: /home/stserver/serverfiles/setting.xml (FILE MISSING)

Some games create these files on first run. This game does not.

When starting the server it does the following;

Downloading Stationeers Configs

default configs from https://github.com/GameServerManagers/Game-Server-Configs
copying default.ini config file.
Config file not found, cannot alter it.

Config File Locations

Config file: /home/stserver/serverfiles/setting.xml (FILE MISSING)
LinuxGSM Config: /home/stserver/lgsm/config-lgsm/stserver
Documentation: https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/game-server-config
[ OK ] Starting stserver: UNAVAILABLE

I've created a setting.xml from the stationeers wiki, only changing the save path line and I get this when attempting to start the server;

[ OK ] Starting stserver: NOT SET

Server never actually starts. The detail command says it does, but it doesn't create and save files or worlds and you cannot connect to the server.

Relevant log output

No response

This issue should be resolved as of a recent release. I have confirmed starting with default settings
