Subsistence Server Hosting, Explained

What is Subsistence?

New to Subsistence?

What is Subsistence?

Subsistence is a first-person, open-world PvE survival sandbox, played solo or in co-op. You struggle through changing seasons to build a base, develop its technology and gear up in a hostile world. Farm crops, fish, raise small animals, and mine and refine ores, while you defend yourself from wildlife, the elements and AI Hunters, who build bases of their own. The focus is your base: its power, its security and its resources.

Build and Power a Base.

Base items need power to work, so every base runs its own economy of power and raw materials.

Hunters Fight Back.

Defend your base from Hunter attacks, and raid their bases to steal their loot.

Why rent a server?

What is Subsistence Server Hosting?

A Subsistence dedicated server keeps your world online around the clock, so your group can play without anyone leaving their PC on. On a Physgun server you set the name, passwords, player limit, save slot and game branch in the panel, set the Hunters, PvP and base rules in the config editor, add Workshop mods that download on start, and get full file access over SFTP and SSH.

Always Online.

Your world stays up when the host logs off, so everyone can play on their own schedule.

Your Rules.

Set the difficulty, the seasons, the Hunters and the PvP rules, and add Workshop mods.
