Prospects Versus Open World Saves

Icarus servers handle two very different jobs. Prospects are timed drops with an objective and a hard return to orbit, so the server's value is keeping that session alive while your crew logs in and out across a week. Open world mode is the opposite: a persistent map that grows for months, which is where automatic daily backups with 10 rolling slots really earn their place.

Both modes store their state as save files on the server. You can download a prospect or open world save from the panel, keep it as an archive, and upload it again later, which makes moving between maps such as Olympus, Styx and Prometheus a file operation rather than a reset.

Configuring Your Icarus Server

Server behavior lives in ServerSettings.ini. Open it in the panel file manager or over SFTP to set the session name shown in the browser, a join password, an admin password, whether non-admins may launch prospects, and how long the server waits before shutting an empty session down. The live console reports the result of each change on restart, and the one-click version changer keeps you matched to the build your players run.

Sizing A Plan For Your Crew

Icarus asks more of a server than a 2D survival game does. An eight-player prospect is comfortable on the 8 GB plan with four cores, our most popular tier, at $20.00 a month. Long open world saves with sprawling bases and reshaped terrain do better on 12 GB or 16 GB, where you also pick up a fifth core. RAM is flat at $2.50 per GB, so scaling up stays predictable.

Still unsure? Ask our team.

Start at 8 GB for a crew of up to eight on a standard prospect; that tier includes four cores and is our most popular. Persistent open world saves with large bases benefit from 12 GB or 16 GB and five cores. Every plan is a flat $2.50 per GB, and NVMe storage is unmetered at any tier.
