See live Vintage Story serversVintage Story RAM and player count: how to size your plan
Vintage Story is a chunk-streamed voxel sandbox. Memory grows as players spread out and as mods accumulate. The rough mapping below covers vanilla through moderate mod stacks. Heavy overhaul mods like Better Than Wolves equivalents push the next tier up.
| Players | Vanilla | Light mods | Heavy mods | Suggested plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-4 (friends) | 3-4 GB | 5-6 GB | 8 GB | Plan S |
| 5-10 (small community) | 4-6 GB | 8 GB | 10-12 GB | Plan M |
| 10-20 (mid community) | 8-10 GB | 12 GB | 16 GB | Plan L |
| 20-30 (large public) | 12 GB | 16 GB | 20+ GB | Plan L (or talk to us) |
CPU matters less than RAM here. Vintage Story uses 2-4 cores effectively for chunk generation and AI; the difference between a fast modern CPU and a very fast modern CPU is barely visible to players. For sizing across other games, see the cross-game hardware-sizing reference on ServerHosting.wiki.
From order to running server: the first 15 minutes
- Plan selected. SteamCMD pulls the current Vintage Story server build automatically. No manual install steps; the file system is provisioned and the world is ready to generate.
- Region picked. Pick the closest of US West (Oregon), US East (Virginia), US North-East (Toronto), Europe West (Paris), or Australia (Sydney). Latency under 50ms feels native; 50-120ms is comfortable; above 120ms players notice in PvP encounters.
- World settings configured. Default values are sensible. Adjust difficulty, chunk-radius, save-interval, and player cap from the panel. Restart applies the changes.
- Mods uploaded (optional). Drop .zip mod files into the panel mod manager. Vintage Story scans the directory at startup. Test mod compatibility before opening to players.
- Backups confirmed. Auto-backups run before every update and on a schedule you set. Test a restore before week two; the corruption you have not had yet is the corruption that will cost the most.
- Players invited. Share the connection address from the panel. Friends use either the Vintage Story client’s Multiplayer menu or a direct address.
Migrating from a self-hosted Vintage Story server
If you have been running Vintage Story on a home machine and the operational load is wearing thin, the migration is straightforward. Stop the local server, copy the world folder out, upload it via the Supercraft panel’s file manager or FTP, restart the deployment. Player accounts (when using Vintage Story’s auth) and saved progress carry over without modification. The whole switchover usually takes 15-30 minutes including upload time.
Whether to make the move at all is its own question. The honest version of the self-host vs managed tradeoff lives at ServerHosting.wiki: when self-hosting wins, when it stops winning, and the breakeven point that decides which way to go.
Supercraft vs Other Vintage Story Hosts
Honest comparison based on what each provider publicly advertises on their Vintage Story hosting page as of 2026-05-01. Self-hosting via vintagestory.at is also a great option if you have a spare PC and time to maintain it.
