Frequently Asked Questions
Renown servers can host up to 100 players maximum. By default, servers support 10 players, but this can be configured based on your server's performance. Smaller groups of 2-4 players work best for complex medieval builds and PvP, while larger groups can handle distributed resource gathering and construction projects.
Renown includes tools for Community Hosts to tailor their servers via Steam Workshop, with future plans for extensive mod support. The game is built on the Enfusion engine and is highly moddable. Server owners can customize world settings, difficulty, building rates, PvP rules, and manage Workshop mods through the dedicated server configuration.
For self-hosting, you need a VPS with Ubuntu or similar Linux distribution with root access, Windows 10/11 or Windows Server, 8-16GB of RAM (16GB+ recommended for 50+ players), around 20GB of disk space, and SteamCMD for server file downloads.
