The Forest Server RAM Calculator FAQ

A small survival group runs comfortably on 2-4 GB, since the game itself is fairly lightweight on server resources.

It weighs your player count and whether you're running mods or heavier settings against the resource guidance we give for The Forest servers, then points you at the lightest plan that comfortably covers it.

No problem! You can upgrade CPU, RAM, and storage instantly from your control panel at any time, so you don't have to guess perfectly upfront.
