Plains of Pain Server Hosting, Explained

What is Plains of Pain?

New to Plains of Pain?

What is Plains of Pain?

Plains of Pain is a post-apocalyptic survival sandbox set in a procedurally generated desert, where the sun is your deadliest enemy. You fight extreme heat, thirst, toxic air and radiation, scavenge ruins, and trade with faction traders for Rusty Nuts and blueprints. Build a base or a whole settlement, craft anti-gravity hover vehicles to cross the wasteland, and help a faction capture outposts, while hordes of Lowlifes, bandits, Overheat events and meteor showers keep the pressure on.

Build a Settlement.

Supply it with food and water so wastelanders move in, production starts and defenders hold off the raids.

Faction Wars.

Earn reputation and capture outposts for the faction of your choice. No outpost stays safe for long.

Why rent a server?

What is Plains of Pain Server Hosting?

When one player hosts, the world is only there while they are playing. A dedicated server keeps the wasteland running on its own, so friends can join, leave and work on their bases whenever they have time. You set the rules: the difficulty, world size, seed, player limit and password. With Physgun the server installs itself and gets the latest game update on every restart.

Always-On World.

Your bases and settlements stay online 24/7, whether or not the host is playing.

Your Rules.

Difficulty, world size, seed and admins, set in the panel and changed whenever you like.

Yes. Pick a new World ID and the server starts a fresh world with your difficulty, size and seed. Your old world is kept, so you can go back to it.

Yes. Pick Stable, Experimental or Test for your server. Players need the same version to join.

It downloads the latest update every time it starts, so a restart is all an update takes. You can turn this off when you would rather wait.

Yes. You can set up a backup schedule in the panel, and secure backup storage is included in every Physgun server!

Yes. Your server is part of the Gamebox, so you can switch it to another game your box has the resources for. A switch reinstalls the server, so the panel offers a backup first.
