Recommendations by group size:

Larger worlds with extensive bases need more RAM.

Yes! Configure PvP settings:

  1. Enable PvP in server config
  2. Set friendly fire on/off
  3. Configure death penalties
  4. Restart the server

Note: Core Keeper is designed for co-op, so PvP is experimental.

How do I add mods?

Core Keeper mod support is community-driven:

  1. Install BepInEx on server
  2. Download mod files
  3. Upload to BepInEx/plugins folder
  4. Restart the server

Check Core Keeper Modding Discord for mods.

Why can't I find my server?

Common issues:

  • Wrong region filter - Check region settings
  • Password protected - Server won't show in public list
  • Firewall blocking - Check port forwarding (27015)

Try connecting by IP directly instead of browser.

  3. Click "Create New World"

What happens during seasons?

Seasons affect gameplay:

  • Spring: Normal gameplay, planting season
  • Summer: Faster crop growth, heat
  • Autumn: Harvest season, preparing for winter
  • Winter: Slower growth, cold mechanics

Seasons change automatically or can be locked.

How do I run a dedicated build server?

For creative building:

  1. Set difficulty to "Peaceful" (no enemies)
  2. Give admin powers to trusted builders
  3. Increase inventory size multiplier
  4. Enable unlimited resources (via mods)
  5. Focus on base construction

Perfect for community building projects.
