About Starbound

Starbound generates planets on demand and then keeps them, which means the save grows quietly with every world anyone visits. It is otherwise light on hardware — a 2016 2D game is not going to trouble a Ryzen 9 — so the practical concerns are storage over time and keeping a mod list in step with your players.

Why run it with us

  • Storage that grows with the universe. Every visited planet persists. Our plans have room for that rather than a token allowance you hit in month three.
  • Frackin Universe works. The big overhaul mod roughly triples the content and the memory use; we size for it rather than treating vanilla as the target.
  • Cheap to keep alive. Small footprint, small price — worth leaving up between playthroughs rather than tearing down.

Getting started

Pick your slot count, billing cycle and region above and the server provisions automatically - most are joinable inside a minute. If it is not right within 72 hours, we refund you in full.

Yes, installed server-side with your players running the same version. It needs noticeably more memory than vanilla — start at 4 GB.

A few hundred megabytes for a busy server over a year. That is well within every plan; we mention it because some hosts cap storage far lower.

Yes, characters are client-side in Starbound. Your server stores the universe, not the players.
