FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much RAM does a 7 Days to Die server need?

About 6 GB for a vanilla server with a small group, and more for big maps, high player counts or overhaul mods. Plus (8 GB) is our starting recommendation.

Can I install overhaul mods?

Yes. Upload the mod folders to Mods over SFTP or the file manager. Players need the same mods if they include client-side content.

Can I change the world or map size?

Yes. Set world generation and size in serverconfig.xml, then start a new world.

Can I upgrade or cancel later?

Yes. Upgrade in place without losing your files, and cancel any time from your client area. Longer billing cycles save up to 15%.
