# StarRupture Server – What Hardware Do I Need?

What hardware does your Starrupture need? CPU, RAM and storage recommendations for stable performance with NexoraHost.

**Quick answer:** This guide walks you through the topic step by step with practical examples and configuration tips.

This overview helps you choose the right hardware for your StarRupture server – depending on player count and playstyle. StarRupture is in Early Access, so these recommendations are based on initial practical tests.

## Recommended hardware by player count

    
        Players
        RAM
        CPU
    

    
        1–4
        8–12 GB
        4 cores at 3.5 GHz+
    

    
        4–8
        12–16 GB
        4–6 cores at 3.8 GHz+
    

    
        8–16
        16–24 GB
        6 cores at 4.0 GHz+
    

    
        16–32
        24–32 GB
        6–8 cores at 4.2 GHz+
    

## RAM requirements by playstyle

    
        Playstyle
        RAM
        CPU
        SaveGameInterval
    

    
        Casual 2-4 players
        10 GB
        Standard
        300
    

    
        Factory Builder (4 players)
        15–20 GB
        High Single-Core
        180
    

    
        Exploration (long-term session)
        10–15 GB
        Standard
        600
    

**Important:** StarRupture benefits greatly from high single-core performance. A processor with few fast cores is better than one with many slow ones. Monitor RAM usage closely – if it exceeds 80%, you should upgrade.

## Storage

    - **Vanilla:** 30–50 GB
- **In general:** NVMe SSD is mandatory – HDD causes noticeable stuttering when loading new areas

## Network

    - StarRupture uses **UDP port 7777**
- Plan about 1–2 Mbps upload per player
- From 8 players, at least 10 Mbps upload recommended

## Summary: How to choose the right hardware

    - **Estimate player count:** How many people do you expect simultaneously?
- **Consider playstyle:** Large factories need more RAM than pure exploration
- **CPU:** High single-core performance (3.5 GHz+) > many cores
- **RAM:** 10 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended for most servers
- **Storage:** NVMe SSD, no HDD
