# What is Torch?
|
|
Torch is the successor to SE Server Extender and gives server admins the tools they need to keep their Space Engineers servers running smoothly. It features a user interface with live management tools and a plugin system so you can run your server exactly how you'd like. Torch is still in early development so there may be bugs and incomplete features.

### Features
|

* WPF-based user interface
|
|
* Chat: interact with the game chat and run commands without having to join the game.

|
|

|
|
* Extensible using the Torch plugin system
|
|

|
### Fork Difference

|
* .NET 8.0 runtime
|
|
* Optimized in-game scripts (also newer compiler & language versions)
|
|
* Better configuration via cli arguments, environment variables or xml config
|
|
* Designed to run multiple instance from same install directory without having you to waste disk space
|
|
* Mostly compatible with original torch's plugins

### Installation
|
|
|
|
* Unzip the Torch release into its own directory and run the executable. It will automatically download the SE DS and generate the other necessary files.
|
|
- If you already have a DS installed you can:
|
|
* Unzip the Torch files into the folder that contains the DedicatedServer64 folder.
|
|
* Pass path to game files using config parameter `gamePath`
|
