Tip:Icarus takes at most 8 players. The player count of a plan is where Max Players starts and the number its hardware is sized for, never a cap: set up to 8 on any plan if you like.
How the plans are sized
Icarus is memory-hungry: guides and hosts put a small crew at 6 to 8 GB and a full eight-player server with large bases at 16 GB or more. Each plan is sized for its player count with room for the bases your crew builds, on dedicated fast cores. If your crew outgrows one, the Hardware tab adds CPU, RAM or disk.
Included on every plan
- Every ServerSettings.ini key in a form, with the game's defaults.
- Prospects: play one, upload one from your own game, download any of them.
- Admins by SteamID, the admin password, and the ban list.
- Backups on start and every six hours, and restarts onto new game builds when the server is empty.
- DDoS protection, and your data synced to a standby node.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an Icarus server cost?
On Flux, $8.49/month for 4 players (3 vCores, 10 GB), $10.99/month for 6 players (4 vCores, 14 GB) and $12.99/month for 8 players (5 vCores, 18 GB), with no contract.
Does the prospect save when the server stops?
Not by the stop itself: the game autosaves every 5 minutes by default and cannot be told to save sooner, so a stop or a restart can lose up to one autosave period. Every prospect is also backed up on start and every six hours.
