These are the server options which can be found in the server.ini : 

Option Effect Default
[Game Options]
BigWreckageDespawnTime Time in seconds it takes for new (as in: not created by the generator but during gameplay, such as combat) large wreckages (more than 15 blocks) to disappear. 1800
CollisionDamage A multiplier for damage to colliding objects. Accepts floating-point numbers, e.g. 0.5 is 50% collision damage. 1
Difficulity Note the typo. The difficulty of the server. Accepts an integer between -3 and 3. [Needs testing] 0
InfiniteResources Toggles infinite resources (or "creative mode") server wide false
SafePlayerInput [Experimental] If enabled, updates sent from players to server are double checked and only control input is accepted to avoid cheating/hacking.

Disabling this will result in much smoother performance at the time of this writing. Enabling this may result in very bad performance over slow networks.

false
Seed The random seed used for galaxy generation. Accepts upper and lower case letters and numbers. [random]
SmallWreckageDespawnTime Time in seconds it takes for new (as in: not created by the generator but during gameplay, such as combat) small wreckages (15 blocks or less) to disappear. 900
