Sizing
Which plan fits your Space Engineers server?
Our estimate of the memory a Space Engineers server uses, and the smallest plan that covers it. Heavy modpacks can need double.
Grid count matters more than player count. Plus suits most factions; big survival servers with lots of grids and mods want Max.
| Players | Vanilla | Lightly modded |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | ≈ 6.6 GB · Plus | ≈ 9.9 GB · Pro |
| 8 | ≈ 7.2 GB · Plus | ≈ 10.8 GB · Pro |
| 16 | ≈ 8.4 GB · Pro | ≈ 12.6 GB · Max |
| 32 | ≈ 10.8 GB · Pro | ≈ 16.2 GB · VDS |

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I upload my single-player world?
Yes. Upload the save folder and point the server at it in the config.
How do I add mods?
Add the Workshop IDs to the mods section of the world config and restart.
How do I keep sim speed high?
Set block and PCU limits, turn on cleanup of abandoned grids and limit physics-heavy builds. Max gives the most headroom.
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%.
