What uses the memory in Necesse

Every settler you attract is simulated with their own jobs and needs, and settlements keep ticking while players are elsewhere. A long-running world with several busy settlements costs more than a fresh one with the same number of players. These figures are our estimate.

Where people get it wrong

Buying far more than needed. A small group on a normal world needs little memory; add headroom as settlements grow rather than paying for it up front.

Rather not run the server yourself?

These tools are free and funded by the two hosting services we run. If you want a server that is already set up, here they are.
