# How to Connect to your SCUM Server

Not seeing your server in the list? Learn how to connect directly using your server’s IP and port.

If you've just set up your SCUM server with Nodecraft, connecting to it is straightforward. Follow these steps to join your server and start playing.

**Note: Before you begin, make sure your SCUM game is up to date, and your server is fully started in the Nodecraft control panel.**

1. Gather your server's IP and port from the **Overview** page in the Nodecraft panel and combine them using a colon.

  Example:

  ```
  1.1.1.1:1234

  ```

  *Example screenshot: IP and port highlighted on the Overview page in the Nodecraft panel.*
2. Launch SCUM and go to the **Multiplayer** tab in the main menu.

3. Paste your **server's IP and port** into the box at the bottom.

4. Press **Connect** to join your server.

**Note: If the connection fails, double-check the IP and port, and make sure your server is fully started in the Nodecraft panel.**
