Set up by us
Likely comfortable on the budget node, but untested by us so far. We build it by hand and check it before handover.
Order it like any other server. One of us sets it up, checks it, and hands over the same console, files and backups every server gets.
What it is
Core Keeper is a survival game and sandbox game developed by Pugstorm and published by Fireshine Games. Set in a procedurally generated underground world, the game combines mining, crafting, farming, automation, and combat while supporting single-player and cooperative multiplayer for up to eight players.

The solid bar is the smallest plan that runs Core Keeper. Faded bars run it with room to spare. Greyed plans sit outside its range. Player counts are what the plan carries, not a benchmark of this game.
How busy it is
Core Keeper against the other survival games.
Peak concurrent players on Steam, measured rather than estimated. Bars are to scale against each other, so a game almost nobody plays looks like one.

Welp...I have 877 hours, I guess it's time to review. I...LOVE this game. Whether I'm trying out something new or just messing about while listening to my favorite spooky podcast Core Keeper has become what I call a "Comfort Food" game for me. Perfect for mellowing out after a hard day.
