How much RAM does a Vintage Story server need?

Three GB at $7.50 per month suits a small group on a vanilla world. Ten to fifteen players with a moderate mod list are comfortable at 6 GB, and large public servers with heavy content packs should run 16 GB, which includes five cores. Memory is priced at a flat $2.50 per GB.

Can I change world settings after generation?

Some settings are fixed when the world is created, including certain world generation choices, while many gameplay values such as hunger rate, crop growth and temporal stability can be adjusted afterwards through serverconfig.json and world config commands. Always take a backup before changing values on an established world.

Can I upload an existing world save?

Yes. Stop the server, upload your .vcdbs world file into the saves directory through the file manager or SFTP, point the server configuration at it, and restart. Match your mod versions to the ones the world was built with, otherwise blocks and items from a missing mod will not load correctly.

How do I switch Vintage Story versions?

The panel includes a one-click version changer, which is useful when a new stable or release candidate build appears and your mods have not caught up. Keep the server on the version your mod list supports, take a backup before changing, and confirm the mod list in the console after restarting.

About Vintage Story hosting

Installing Mods From The ModDB

Vintage Story mods are distributed as zip files from the official ModDB, and installation on a rented server is refreshingly plain. Download the version that matches your game build, upload it into the Mods folder with the panel file manager or SFTP, and restart from the live console.

The startup log prints every mod it loads along with its version, so a mod compiled against an older release is easy to spot and remove. Clients generally need the same mods installed locally, which is worth stating clearly in your Discord or server description.

World Configuration And Seasons

When a world is first created, its playstyle and world config settings define the experience: season length, temporal stability and storm frequency, block gravity, hunger rate and crop growth. Those choices matter because some of them are fixed once the world is generated, so decide before you invite people in.

Anything adjustable afterwards is still yours to change through serverconfig.json and the in-game world config commands. Take a backup before you touch an established world, restart cleanly so the values load, and let the panel scheduler handle nightly restarts to keep a long-lived save responsive across in-game years.

Keeping A Long Survival World Alive

A Vintage Story save grows steadily as players explore, mine deep, and build across chunks. Unmetered NVMe storage means that growth never runs into a quota, and automatic daily backups with ten rolling slots protect worlds that represent months of real time.

For sizing, a small group of survivors runs fine on 3 GB at $7.50 per month, ten to fifteen players on a modded world are comfortable on 6 GB, and large public servers with heavy mod lists should use 16 GB, where five cores are included. Support is available 24/7 through the portal and Discord.

Download the mod zip from the official ModDB, upload it into the server's Mods folder using the panel file manager or SFTP, then restart from the live console. The startup log lists each loaded mod and version. Players usually need the same mods installed client-side, so publish your list somewhere visible.
