7 days to die private server8/5/2023 ![]() In my experience, A16 Starvation with 20+ peoples online works normal with 16GB. If you want public server with a heavy mod (like "Starvation" for example) and many player slots, choose from 16Gb and higher. You cannot have too many! For an ordinary server, 8 GB is entry level, good for you playing with 3 friends on standard size Navezgane map without additional mods and building packs. Things can change dramatically in new processor families planned for 2019, but for now it's a general rule of thumb. You need "Processor Base Frequency" to be high, NOT "Max Turbo Frequency". When time comes to choose, please read processor datasheets carefully. You need 2 (minimum) or preferably 4 or more cores working at 3.5 GHz or higher. In case of slow CPU cores, big collapses can cause the game to be unplayable for all connected users for several minutes. Peak processor loads occur when a large amount of soil or walls collapse ingame. This means, 10 cores working at 2 GHz is MUCH slower than 4 core at 4 GHz. Despite the fact that you need more than one core, CPU frequency is main factor of server performance. 7 days to die is a CPU-frequency hungry gameserver. You have decided to create own server and not to rent a ready one? What a brave spirit! Lets talk about hardware Renting physical machine for just one gameserver is pure madness and waste of money, # Choosing hardware This solution is good when you have several gameservers (for example, with different mods) on one physical machine. Of course, you can rent a whole physical (dedicated) server for private use, but spending more than 100 euro per month is not so pleasant. You need to be as close to hardware as possible. Cheap VPS/VDS usually have lot of hidden traps, which could lead you to lag and slow performance due to virtualization of main resources. In two words - just forget all the "V" acronyms. Stop right now! VPS is not for you, due to limitations, this technology has. This solution offers some "share" of computing resources (disk, CPU power, memory) for processing your tasks. Many general-use hosting companies offers a really cheap VPS (Virtual Private Server) or VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) deals. Can be hard to implement some non-standard solutions, such as unpopular mods, additional modules, or automation scripts (depending on company, though).Tech support, in most cases, works to not let you to broke everything.Have enterprise-grade network equipment, pre-configured for you.Usually, OS and gameserver pre-installed, no need to spend your time to this.Usually have web-interface to edit configuration files and stop/start/restart buttons. ![]() ![]() Cooling and uninterruptible power supply. ![]()
