Romestead is a 1-8 player co-op survival sandbox from [Beartwigs](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1805320/Romestead/) — fight the walking dead at night, build settlements, restore the Roman gods, and progress through biomes together. The game ships an official **standalone dedicated server tool** (a cross-platform .NET 8 binary, Steam app id `4763510`, default UDP port `8050`) which is what we run for you on XGamingServer hardware. These guides cover everything you need to set up and run your server.

> Romestead launched into Early Access on **May 25, 2026**. Expect Beartwigs to ship config and admin features through the EA period — this doc set will track those updates.
