Frequently Asked Questions about Renown Server Hosting
Renown servers can host up to 100 players maximum. By default, servers support 10 players, but this can be configured based on your server's performance. Smaller groups of 2-4 players work best for complex medieval builds and PvP, while larger groups can handle distributed resource gathering and construction projects.
Renown does not have mod support yet. The developers ship tools for Community Hosts to tailor their servers and list extensive mod support as a future plan, so there is no Steam Workshop for Renown at this time.
For self-hosting, you need a VPS with Ubuntu or similar Linux distribution with root access, Windows 10/11 or Windows Server, 8-16GB of RAM (16GB+ recommended for 50+ players), around 20GB of disk space, and SteamCMD for server file downloads. You must also forward ports 7777-7778 (UDP) and 27015-27016 (TCP/UDP) on your router.
