The Isle Evrima Dedicated Server Requirements

An empty Evrima server is light: about 1.2 GB with the AI on. What grows is the island in use: players spread over Gateway, and the wildlife the AI keeps spawning around them.

Memory

Measured on Gateway with the AI on and nobody playing (build 24664709): 1.2 to 1.3 GB. Every player keeps a part of the map alive, and the AI spawns wildlife around them, so memory grows with players times AI density. The plans here start at 6 GB for that reason.

CPU

Idle, the server used 5 to 10% of one core in our tests. Players, AI and migrations are what it works on, and a busy 100-player server keeps several cores in use.

Tip:The player figure is each plan's starting Max Players: you can change it, up to 300, but the plans are sized for their own figure. If the server struggles, lower the AI density before anything else.

Disk

The install is about 1.5 GB. The player database, Game.ini, the logs and the backups take the rest; replays, if players record them, take more.

Frequently asked questions

How much RAM does an Evrima server need?

About 1.2 GB empty with the AI on, measured. For a community, plan around 6 GB for 30 players, 10 GB for 60 and 16 GB for 100; dense AI wants more.

What ports does an Evrima server use?

UDP 7777 for the game and TCP 10000 for the join queue. The RCON (TCP 8888) should never be public.
