Silica Server Hosting, Explained
New to Silica?
What is Silica?
Silica is a crossover of FPS and RTS from Bohemia Interactive, set on the sandy dunes of the planet Baltarus. Humans and aliens fight for control in combined arms battles. Each team has a commander who places buildings, harvests resources and orders units from a top-down view, while everyone else fights on the ground as infantry or crews land and air vehicles. Matches end when a team's base falls.
Command or Fight.
Lead your team as the RTS commander, or join the assault as a soldier in the same match.
Humans and Aliens.
Play the Sol or Centauri humans, or the aliens, in matches of up to three factions.
Why rent a server?
What is Silica Server Hosting?
A Silica dedicated server is a battlefield your group controls, online whether or not anyone is hosting. When a player hosts from the game, their PC runs the whole match, so a weak host lags everyone and the round can end when they leave. A dedicated server runs on its own hardware and keeps your community's home in the server browser. You pick the game mode, the player limit, the name, the password and Stable or Beta, and edit your maps and admins in the server's files. With Physgun it deploys in minutes, and you size the CPU, memory and storage yourself.
Always-On Server.
Your server stays up around the clock, so players can join without a host in the game.
Your Mode, Your Rules.
Run Strategy, Strategy Co-op, Arena, Sandbox or Scenarios, with your own password and player limit.
