Worlds that stay safe
Keep your world secure with reliable autosaves, backups, and quick restores. Upload worlds and configs from the control panel and keep everything organized as your server evolves.
Co-op friendly by design
Play with friends across regions, build together, and scale your base without hiccups. Choose the closest region for low latency and move later without wiping progress.
Game configuration and customization
Tune your server settings, password-protect your world, and customize gameplay parameters. Upload custom saves or start fresh with a few clicks.
Select difficulty presets (Default, Relaxed, Hard, Survival, or Custom) from the panel to match your group’s pace on your Enshrouded dedicated server.
Scheduled restarts
Set daily or weekly restart windows from the panel so your Enshrouded server refreshes memory and applies updates overnight instead of mid-raid. In-game warnings give players time to wrap up before a restart fires.
Self-host vs paid Enshrouded hosting — what actually changes
Self-hosting Enshrouded on your gaming PC works for small co-op groups, but breaks down fast at 8+ players or when you want 24/7 uptime. The honest breakdown:
| Concern | Self-host on your PC | Supercraft hosted |
|---|---|---|
| 24/7 uptime | PC must stay on; sleep / Windows updates kill the world | Always-on, restarts scheduled |
| Port forwarding (15777, 15778, 15779 UDP) | You configure router, deal with CGNAT/double-NAT | Public IP + ports configured by us |
| Friend ping while you play | Friends get YOUR upload-speed bottleneck | Symmetric datacenter bandwidth, region of choice |
| RAM cost during play | Server eats 6-12GB of YOUR PC’s RAM, on top of running the game | Dedicated RAM on the server, your PC is free |
| Backup discipline | Manual; easy to lose progress on a crash | Automatic snapshots + on-demand restore |
| DDoS protection | None — your home IP is exposed to teammates and rivals | Included on every plan |
| Cross-region migration | Re-host from scratch | Switch regions, keep world + characters |
| Cost (16-player crew) | PC electricity 24/7 + bandwidth = $15-25/mo equivalent | $24/mo Plan L, no PC tied up |
Rule of thumb: self-host for <6 player groups when the host plays daily; rent for 6+ players, mixed timezones, or anyone who wants to log off without ending the session.
Enshrouded server hardware requirements (verified for 16 players)
Keen Games’ official dedicated-server requirements for a 16-player Enshrouded world are heavier than most survival games — voxel terrain modifications and shroud streaming both add memory pressure. What an Enshrouded dedicated server actually needs:
- RAM: 8GB minimum for 4 players; 12-16GB recommended for 16-player groups with active building
- CPU: Modern multi-core; the game prefers high single-thread performance for the world simulation tick
- Storage: NVMe strongly preferred — voxel save files grow fast and SSD speed affects autosave hitches
- Network: Symmetric upload — Enshrouded’s protocol benefits from low-latency UDP on ports 15777-15779
- OS: Linux (recommended for performance) or Windows; the dedicated server build runs on both via SteamCMD

Adventure Sharing-ready hosting
The v0.9.1.0 update added Adventure Sharing — your hosted world becomes discoverable on the community map, with featured slots for crews who run unique builds, dungeon-tuned settings, or roleplay rulesets. Hosted servers have an advantage here: 24/7 uptime means your adventure stays browsable; PC-hosted worlds disappear from the map when the host logs off.
If you’re running an Adventure Sharing destination, see Adventure Sharing 2026 guide and 16-player difficulty scaling to tune your world for visiting crews.
