To start your server:
Click on your game, click "Change settings", switch to "Allow multiplayer mode". Save changes. Go back to the game page and click Host Server; or if you want to change the port or player limit, change the numbers before clicking Host Server. Changing the port is only necessary if you have more than one server, because two servers can't share the same port.
Enabling Internet access to your server
-Make sure that the port you specified (usually 22015) is opened in your firewall.
-If you use a router, you have to tell it to send Internet requests on the Buildism port to your computer (this is usually called port forwarding). This is a good resource: http://portforward.com/ Locate and click the name of your router on the list, skip the ad, then click Default Guide and follow the instructions.
-To make sure your network settings are correct, use this tool: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ Enter the port of your server (usually 22015) in the box while the server is running. If it says the port is closed, you did something wrong and nobody can connect to your server!
