Core Keeper is an underground mining sandbox RPG developed by Pugstorm and published by Fireshine Games, which reached its 1.0 release in August 2024. Players wake up in a procedurally generated cavern and must power up a mysterious ancient Core by exploring biomes like the Dirt layer, Clay Caves, Forgotten Ruins, Azeos' Wilderness, Sunken Sea, and Molten Quarry. Each biome contains a Titan boss — defeat it, place its relic on the Core, and unlock new areas and crafting tiers. The game features top-down 2D pixel art with up to 8 players on a dedicated server. ### What Titan bosses will my group fight on a Core Keeper server? Core Keeper's progression revolves around defeating Titan bosses across its biomes. You start with Glurch the Abominous Mass in the Dirt biome, then face Ghorm the Devourer who tunnels endlessly around the map, the Hive Mother in the Clay Caves, Azeos the Sky Titan in Azeos' Wilderness, the Core Mold Titan, Ra-Akar in the desert biome, and Omoroth the Sea Titan in the Sunken Sea. Each Titan drops a unique soul that powers the Core and unlocks the next progression tier. Having a full 8-player squad on a dedicated server makes the tougher Titan fights significantly more manageable. ### How do farming, cooking, and fishing work in Core Keeper? Core Keeper has deep life-skill systems that benefit from multiplayer specialization. Farming lets you plant seeds in tilled ground, water them, and place light sources nearby since crops grow underground based on light exposure. Cooking uses discovered recipes to craft buff food that boosts combat stats, movement speed, or mining power. Fishing takes place in underground lakes scattered across biomes, yielding unique catches per biome. Each activity has its own skill tree — Gardening, Cooking, and Fishing — that levels up the more you use it, unlocking perks and efficiency bonuses. ### What skills can players level up on a Core Keeper server? Core Keeper features a classless skill system where every action levels a corresponding skill. The skills are Mining, Running, Melee Combat, Vitality, Crafting, Ranged Combat, Fishing, Cooking, and Gardening. Each skill unlocks talent points that provide passive bonuses — for example, Mining increases ore yield, Running boosts dodge chance, and Crafting improves item quality. On a dedicated server with up to 8 players, groups often specialize so each player focuses on different skills to maximize the team's efficiency. ### How do I configure my Core Keeper dedicated server settings? Core Keeper's dedicated server runs as a separate Steam application and is configured through CoreKeeperServerSettings.json. Key settings include maxPlayers (up to 8), gameMode (normal or hard), world seed for generating a specific cavern layout, and seasonal event toggles. The server uses UDP port 27015 by default with port 27016 for Steam queries. Core Keeper typically needs 2-4 GB of RAM depending on how much of the world your group has explored and excavated. ### Does Core Keeper support electricity and automation? Yes, Core Keeper includes an electricity and circuit system that unlocks in mid-to-late game progression. Players can craft generators, copper wires, switches, and logic gates to automate base functions like lighting, conveyor belts for item transport, automated drills, and trap systems. The circuit system uses a signal-based approach where powered components chain together. On a dedicated server, players often collaborate on large-scale automated farms and processing facilities that would be tedious to build solo. ### Can I install mods on my Core Keeper server? Core Keeper has an emerging modding community, though official mod support remains limited. Community mods are primarily distributed through third-party sites and typically add quality-of-life features, new items, or UI improvements. To mod your server, you upload the mod files via SFTP through the server panel. All connecting players must have the same mods installed on their clients for compatibility. Because modding support is still unofficial, mod compatibility can break after game updates, so it is worth checking that your mods are updated for the current Core Keeper version before installing them. ### How much does Core Keeper server hosting cost?
