I am looking into building a home server and would like to know how much ram is needed and storage ect... Ive got a pc that was taken in on trade, its an i3-10100 8gb ddr4 2666mhz ram and a 512 gb nvme ssd. I know it will need ram without a doubt but would like to know if it would hold up to a 40 person server?
External link →RAM requirements are dependant mostly on world size and sophistication of play (how many laws are used and how complicated they are, for example). We officially only support a maximum of 4km². 32 GB of RAM is recommended for that size and a permanent player count of 40 players online that are very active, you can go with notable less for smaller words and less active servers.
For CPU you generally want a high frequency CPU, a CPU with many cores will not benefit Eco.
Storage depends on activity of the server and the time its running as well. White-Tiger needs about 10 GB per savegame and hence about 250 GB for all backups.
Thank you very much for the fast and informative reply! I plan on running a long term server and using a 2km map, the 40 player cap will never see the full capped amount as I've only got about 10-12 truly active players.
Will it make a noticeable difference using HHD or SSD for storage?
Yes, SSDs greatly speed up the access to the database and hence anything law and statistics related, which often causes the most lags. I would never use a HDD for a public Eco Server.
