FAQ

Yes. Set a join password in the control panel. The dedicated server's ownerswhitelist.txt is an owner list, not a normal player whitelist; see the access guide.

Sons of the Forest dedicated servers cap at 8 players (engine limit). Plan M covers the full 8-slot cap plus uncapped RAM and mod support.

You can upload a world copy through the file manager or FTP, but save layouts and player state need testing. Keep the original backup and follow the migration guide.

We host in US West (Oregon), US North-East (Toronto), Europe West (Paris), and Australia (Sydney) for low latency.

Yes. We run automatic snapshots and provide on-demand backups for quick restores.

On Supercraft, Sons of the Forest hosting starts at $9.99/month on the monthly term and drops to $7.83/month effective on the 12-month term ($94 prepaid). All plans include the full 8-player cap, NVMe storage, daily snapshots, and mod support.

File access may let you experiment with community loaders, but BepInEx and individual plugins are not official server features and compatibility is not guaranteed. See the plugin compatibility guide before changing a live world.

A save copy may be transferable, but do not assume every inventory, companion state, or progression detail carries over. Preserve the source, test the destination, and follow the save migration guide.
