For Core Keeper, first confirm the connection method and server configuration your group needs. Check the current game hosting catalogue and ask about Core Keeper availability before choosing a service; this guide is not a Core Keeper sales offer.
Why Host a Dedicated Core Keeper Server
Core Keeper has an official dedicated server. Treat its installation, networking and availability as separate checks before inviting your group.
System Requirements
We have not verified a server RAM minimum or a reliable player-to-resource formula for this guide. Check the installed server documentation and observe your own world before choosing resources; a plan size alone does not establish capacity.
Setting Up the Server
The developer's 14 August 2025 announcement confirms dedicated-server play between PC users on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG and Microsoft Store. It does not establish console crossplay.
The 1.1.2.3 patch notes document joining a suitably configured dedicated server by IP address, port and password. Follow the README.txt included with your installed server for direct-connection configuration, rather than assuming a game ID is the only joining method.
On 7 October 2026, patch 1.3.0.5 corrected mod object IDs affected by load order, fixed Workshop mods loading when the no-mods option was used, and reverted a network data limit introduced in 1.3.0.3. These notes do not establish a measured performance improvement for your server.
World Settings Worth Tuning
Use the configuration instructions supplied with your installed server. Confirm the intended world, connection mode and any required mods before opening access; do not copy unverified settings from another server version.
Backups Are Non-Negotiable
Before updating or moving an existing world, keep an untouched copy and verify which files your installed server uses. Test recovery on a separate copy before relying on a backup.
Hosting Core Keeper on Space-Node
Contact us to check Core Keeper availability before ordering. Confirm the supported PC storefronts, installation responsibilities, world migration and support scope; a general game-hosting plan does not by itself confirm a Core Keeper service.
