Its server files cannot be fetched anonymously, so we install it from our own Steam account 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

Starbound is a 2016 action-adventure game by Chucklefish. It takes place in a two-dimensional, procedurally generated universe which the player is able to explore in order to obtain new weapons, armor, and items, and to visit towns and villages inhabited by various intelligent lifeforms.

The solid bar is the smallest plan that runs Starbound. 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

Starbound against the other sandbox 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.

Man I love Starbound('s mods)! I love playing it with my friends (and mods) I could imagine not playing this game (without mods) It's such a good game (if you mod it) Long story short, this is one of those games you mod as soon as you download it..
