FAQ

Questions, answered

What are the requirements for a The Forest server?+

The Forest's dedicated server is moderate — around 4 GB of RAM is a comfortable baseline for a co-op group, with fast storage helping world saves. Our Pro plan gives a busy group headroom.

Why run a dedicated server instead of hosting in-game?+

In-game co-op only runs while the host is online, and progress is tied to their save. A dedicated server stays up 24/7, so your world keeps its structures and progression and anyone in your group can hop in whenever they want.

How many players can join?+

The Forest supports up to eight players in co-op. A dedicated VPS keeps all eight synced smoothly with low latency, which matters when the cannibals attack at night.

Do I need to own the game to run the server?+

The dedicated server (Steam app 556450) is separate from the game client and installs via SteamCMD with full root. Players connect with their own copies of The Forest.

Is my world backed up?+

Yes. Our platform adds scheduled backups and snapshots so your save — structures, progress, and settings — is protected against a crash or a bad update.
