    Space Engineers server hosting without a spare PC

    Hosting a world from your own game means it vanishes the moment you log off, and everyone else plays at the mercy of your connection. A Space Engineers dedicated server fixes both. The world runs on its own machine, so friends can mine, refine and weld while you are away, and nobody has to leave a PC on all night.

    With TheGameHosting the server is ready within 60 seconds after payment. Space Engineers needs at least 8 GB of RAM, so it starts on our 8 GB plan at $6.96 USD a month, with unlimited slots, full sFTP access and DDoS protection included.

    Steam Workshop mods and your own saves

    Most long-running Space Engineers servers end up with a few mods: extra blocks, weapons, quality-of-life tweaks or new planets. The dedicated server reads Workshop items by their ID from the world configuration and downloads them when it starts, and players receive the same mods when they join.

    How to add mods to a Space Engineers dedicated server

    Stop the server, open the world configuration in the file manager, add the Workshop IDs of the mods you want and start it again. Take a backup first: removing a mod later can leave missing blocks behind in the world.

    Upload an existing world

    Started a save in single player? Copy the world folder from your PC, upload it and point the server at it. Large worlds with hundreds of grids go up faster over sFTP than through the browser.

    Keeping sim speed close to 1.0

    Sim speed is the number every Space Engineers admin watches. At 1.0 the game runs in real time. Below that, ships drift, pistons stutter and everything feels slow. It drops when the server has more physics to calculate than it can keep up with, usually from many moving grids, collisions, rotors and pistons.

    • Set PCU and block limits in the world settings, so one player can't build a lag machine.
    • Clear out abandoned grids and floating objects from time to time.
    • Keep programmable block scripts that run every tick to a minimum.

    Our AMD 9950X/7950X3D processors run up to 5.7Ghz, so the simulation has fast cores to work with. And when your group wants a change of scenery, the Game Changer moves the same plan to Empyrion: Galactic Survival or Stationeers. Back up your world before you switch.

    How much RAM does a Space Engineers server need?

    Space Engineers needs at least 8 GB of RAM on our servers, so 6 of our 9 plans run it, from 8 GB up to 64 GB. Memory use grows with the world itself more than with the player count:

    • A fresh survival world with a few friends and a handful of ships fits on the 8 GB plan.
    • Planets, large stations and a growing grid count all add memory as the months go by.
    • Mod-heavy servers and big factions need room to grow, so move up the slider.

    We don't cap slots, so RAM and the number of grids set your ceiling. Not sure where to start? Tell our support team what you plan to build and we will suggest a size.

    Hardware we own, in Dallas and Amsterdam

    Your station runs on servers we bought and look after ourselves, not on rented capacity. Space Engineers calculates physics for every moving grid, so it rewards fast cores: every plan runs on AMD 9950X/7950X3D processors up to 5.7Ghz, with DDR5 RAM and Samsung NVMe storage for quick saves and world loads.

    Pick Dallas, TX (United States) or Amsterdam (Netherlands) for your server. Both sites sit on a 10 Gbps network with advanced cooling, UPS backup power and DDoS protection in front of every server.

    Space Engineers server questions

    Can't find your answer? Ask our support team.

    How fast is my Space Engineers server ready?

    Within 60 seconds after payment. The access details arrive by email and you can start the server from the panel straight away.

    How much RAM does a Space Engineers server need?

    Space Engineers needs at least 8 GB of RAM on our servers, so it starts on the 8 GB plan at $6.96 USD a month. Planets, large stations, many grids and mods all use more memory, so busy or modded servers do better on a bigger plan.

    Can I use Steam Workshop mods?

    Yes. Space Engineers dedicated servers load Steam Workshop mods listed by ID in the world configuration and download them at startup. You can edit that configuration in our file manager or over sFTP. Take a backup before adding or removing mods.

    Can I upload my single-player world?

    Yes. Copy the world folder from your PC, upload it through the file manager or over sFTP and set the server to load it. If the world does not start, our support team can take a look.

    What is sim speed and how do I keep it high?

    Sim speed shows how fast the server runs the game compared with real time, where 1.0 is full speed. It drops when there is more physics to calculate than the server can handle. PCU and block limits, regular clean-ups of old grids and fewer scripts running every tick keep it close to 1.0.

    How many players can join my server?

    We do not limit slots. The player limit in your server settings and your RAM decide how many engineers fit, and the number of large grids matters more than the number of players.

    Can I switch to another game later?

    Yes. The Game Changer in the panel moves your plan to another game it runs, such as Empyrion: Galactic Survival or Stationeers, with nothing new to buy. Make a backup before you switch.

    Where are your Space Engineers servers hosted?

    In Dallas, TX (United States) and Amsterdam (Netherlands), on hardware we own in both places: AMD 9950X/7950X3D CPUs, DDR5 RAM, Samsung NVMe storage and a 10 Gbps network.
