About Duckside
What is Duckside?
Duckside is a persistent world survival game that puts a wildly creative spin on the genre. Developed by tinyBuild, Duckside drops players into the webbed feet of combat-ready ducks in a world where survival means more than just staying alive. Inspired by games like Rust and DayZ, the title combines familiar multiplayer survival mechanics with a comedic and uniquely feathered twist. Players take on the role of armed ducks navigating an expansive open world, gathering resources, fighting other players, and building shelters to protect their hard-earned loot. The game supports multiplayer servers where dozens of players can coexist, cooperate, or compete on persistent islands that remain active around the clock.
Open World Survival
At its core, Duckside is a full-featured open world survival experience. Players wake up on a sprawling island with nothing but their instincts and must immediately start scavenging for resources, food, and crafting materials. The environment is richly detailed with varied terrain, dynamic weather, and day-night cycles that affect gameplay. Flight mechanics set Duckside apart from traditional survival games, allowing duck characters to take to the skies for scouting, escape, or tactical advantage during combat. PvP encounters are intense and unpredictable, ranging from close-quarters firefights to long-range engagements across open fields. The game rewards both strategic thinking and quick reflexes, making every session feel different.
Base Building
Building in Duckside goes well beyond simple shelters. Players can construct multi-level bases complete with storage, defenses, and crafting stations using materials harvested from the world. The building system supports creative designs and fortified structures that serve as your primary defense against raids and the elements. Crafting extends to weapons, tools, armor, and consumables, with a deep progression system that rewards exploration and resource management. Whether you prefer to build sprawling compounds with friends or maintain a hidden solo outpost, the construction tools give you the freedom to shape your corner of the island exactly how you want it.
Why Host Your Own Duckside Server?
Running your own Duckside dedicated server gives you full control over the world your group plays in together. Set server passwords, adjust gameplay rules, manage world saves, and keep the server running around the clock so friends and community members can drop in anytime. With XGamingServer's AMD Ryzen 9 7950X hardware, your Duckside server benefits from high single-thread performance, which directly translates to smoother gameplay, faster world loading, and stable performance even with a full server of players exploring, building, and fighting across the island.
Frequently Asked Questions About Duckside Hosting
Below are some of the FAQs that our customers ask. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out.
- Duckside is an open-world survival game developed by Perceptive Games and published by TinyBuild, where you play as armed ducks in a PvP-focused world heavily inspired by Rust and DayZ. The game entered Early Access on Steam in 2024 and features base building, raiding, crafting, and unique duck flight mechanics. With support for 50+ concurrent players, a dedicated server keeps your world running 24/7 with stable performance and low latency, so your duck community can raid, loot, and glide across the map anytime.
- Duckside dedicated servers support 50 or more concurrent players. The actual capacity you can handle smoothly depends on your server's RAM and CPU allocation. For larger servers with 40+ armed ducks battling it out, raiding bases, and flying across the open world simultaneously, we recommend at least 8GB of RAM to maintain stable tick rates and avoid lag during peak PvP encounters.
- Duckside servers generally require between 4GB and 8GB of RAM depending on player count and world activity. A smaller server with under 20 players gathering resources and building bases runs well on 4GB. However, larger PvP-heavy servers with frequent base raids, explosive combat, and 40+ players should allocate 8GB or more to ensure smooth performance during intense firefights and large-scale raiding events.
- Duckside is currently available exclusively on PC via Steam. The game entered Early Access in 2024 and is under active development by Perceptive Games with TinyBuild as publisher. All players connect through Steam, so your dedicated server uses Steam-based authentication. There are no console versions announced at this time, making a PC-optimized dedicated server the only way to host a persistent Duckside world.
- Yes. Duckside server configuration is managed through server config files, which you can edit directly via SFTP or through our Pterodactyl-based game panel. You can adjust PvP settings, raid windows, day/night cycle duration, resource gathering rates, crafting speeds, and survival mechanics like food, water, and temperature drain rates to create the exact gameplay experience your duck community wants.
- Yes, Duckside's unique flight and gliding mechanics work fully on dedicated servers. Since all characters are ducks, players can glide and fly across the open world, adding a vertical dimension to PvP combat, base defense, and exploration that sets it apart from traditional survival games like Rust or DayZ. This means your server needs to handle 3D movement across large distances, which is why we recommend NVMe storage and high-clock CPUs for the best experience.
- Duckside features a Rust-inspired base building and raiding system. Players gather resources, craft building materials, and construct bases to store loot and defend against other armed ducks. Opposing players can raid these bases using guns, melee weapons, and explosives. On a dedicated server, you can configure raid schedules, building decay rates, and other base-related settings through the server config files to balance aggression and defense for your community.
- Pick a plan starting at $10/month, complete checkout, and your Duckside server deploys automatically within 60 seconds. You get full access to our Pterodactyl control panel to manage server config files, create backups, adjust player slots, and restart your server. Use code XGAMEON for 30% off your first month. All plans include DDoS protection, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPUs, NVMe SSD storage, and 24/7 support to keep your duck world running smoothly.
