Why These Specs Matter
CPU Performance
The Front is CPU-intensive due to:
- Complex survival mechanics (crafting, building, farming)
- Large map with player tracking
- Base destruction and reconstruction
- AI wildlife and enemies
Recommendation: Use CPUs with high single-core performance. AMD Ryzen or Intel Core i7/i9 series perform well.
RAM Requirements
Memory usage scales with:
- Number of players and their locations
- Constructed buildings and structures
- Items in inventories and storage
- Loaded map chunks
Recommendation: Allocate at least 16GB for 30+ players. 32GB provides headroom for stability.
Storage Speed
The Front loads and saves frequently. SSD is strongly recommended for:
- Faster world loading and chunk generation
- Reduced lag during save operations
- Quick backups and restores
NVMe SSDs provide the best performance for high-player servers.
Network Requirements
Stable connection is crucial for PvP combat:
- Upload speed: Minimum 20 Mbps, recommended 100+ Mbps for 60+ players
- Latency: Keep under 50ms to target region players
- Bandwidth: ~50KB per player base, more with building and combat
Operating System
The Front dedicated servers support:
- Windows Server 2019/2022: Easier setup, txAdmin support
- Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+): Better performance, lower overhead
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run The Front on shared hosting?
Not recommended. The Front requires dedicated resources. VPS with allocated cores may work for small servers.
