Questions, answered
What are the requirements for a Sons of the Forest server?+
Sons of the Forest is a little heavier than the original — around 4–6 GB of RAM is a comfortable baseline for a co-op group, with fast storage helping the larger world. Our Pro plan gives a full group headroom.
Why run a dedicated server?+
Peer-to-peer co-op only runs while the host is online and ties progress to their save. A dedicated server stays up 24/7, so your base and progression persist and anyone in your group can join whenever they like.
How many players can join?+
Sons of the Forest supports up to eight players in co-op. A dedicated VPS keeps all eight synced with low latency across the island.
How is the dedicated server installed?+
The dedicated server installs via SteamCMD with full root over SSH. You set the world, difficulty, and a password, and your players connect with their own copies of the game.
Is my world backed up?+
Yes. Our platform adds scheduled backups and snapshots so your save is protected against a crash or a bad update.
