Hosting a Core Keeper server
Core Keeper is a co-op mining and exploration game set underground, and a dedicated server lets your group keep a shared world available without one player acting as host. One convenient detail is that players can join with a Game ID, so nobody needs to type in an IP address or set up port forwarding.
What to check
- Sensible sizing. Core Keeper is not heavy for a small group, so compare plans against your real player count and avoid paying for capacity you will not use.
- World management. Look for automatic backups, easy restores and a way to upload an existing world if you have already started playing.
- Settings access. World seed, difficulty, passwords and player limits are set in server configuration, so check you can edit them yourself.
- Updates. Core Keeper receives regular updates, and servers must match the client version, so choose a host that keeps the server in step.
- Reliability. A stable server with responsive support matters more than raw power for a game like this.
- Location. A datacentre near your group keeps combat and building responsive.
- Simple setup. Because most groups just want to play, a clear control panel and a straightforward way to share the Game ID make a real difference.
