Setting Up Your Icarus Dedicated Server
Hosting an Icarus server on a Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a solid choice for players seeking a persistent and controlled gaming environment. This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough to set up your Icarus server, tailored for those utilizing a VPS provider for an enhanced gaming experience.
Essential Requirements for an Icarus Server
To ensure a smooth and efficient Icarus server operation, adhere to the following minimum hardware and software specifications:
Hardware Specifications
- Processor (CPU): Minimum 3.2 GHz dual-core.
- Memory (RAM): At least 6 GB.
- Disk Space: Minimum 30 GB available.
Software Requirements
- Operating System: Windows Server 2022 or a compatible Linux distribution.
Step 1: Secure Your VPS and Establish a Connection
1. Choose a reputable VPS provider and select a plan that meets the minimum requirements for hosting an Icarus server.
2. Once your VPS is ready, connect to it using SSH (for Linux servers) or Remote Desktop (for Windows servers).
ssh username@your_vps_ip
Step 2: Install SteamCMD
SteamCMD is a command-line version of Steam that allows you to download game servers.
sudo apt update && sudo apt install steamcmd -y
Step 3: Download the Icarus Dedicated Server

Step 4: Configure Your Icarus Server
After installation, configure the server by editing the configuration files within your server directory. Adjust settings like server name, password, max players, and port numbers as necessary.
Step 5: Open Icarus Server Ports
Ensure your VPS firewall is configured to allow traffic through the game port and query port used by your Icarus server. This is typically done by adding rules to allow UDP traffic on ports 17777 and 27015.
Step 6: Launch Your Icarus Server
Execute the server application to start your server. Confirm its availability by checking for a successful startup message in the console output.
Step 7: Connect to Your Server
Players can now join your server by launching Icarus, selecting multiplayer, and searching for your server by name or connecting directly via IP address.

About Icarus
What is Icarus?
Icarus is a session-based PvE survival game developed by RocketWerkz, set on a terraformed alien planet that humanity once hoped to colonize. The terraforming process went wrong, leaving the atmosphere toxic and the surface overrun with hostile wildlife and environmental hazards. Players take on the role of prospectors who drop from an orbiting space station to the planet's surface, where they must gather resources, craft equipment, build shelters, and complete objectives before extracting back to orbit. The game supports up to 8 players in cooperative play and offers both timed mission-based gameplay and persistent open world modes.
Sci-Fi Survival on an Alien Planet
Unlike traditional survival games set in familiar environments, Icarus places players on a foreign world where the air itself is deadly. Prospectors must secure oxygen, manage exposure to storms and extreme weather, and contend with alien predators that roam the surface. The planet features over 64 square kilometers of hand-crafted terrain spanning forests, arctic tundra, desert canyons, and swamplands. Every tree can be harvested, every rock can be voxel-mined, and every creature can be hunted. Players progress through four tiers of technology, from primitive stone tools to advanced electronics and composite materials, unlocking new capabilities with each tier.
Session-Based Gameplay
One of Icarus's defining features is its session-based structure. Players accept contracts aboard their orbital station, then drop to the planet surface to complete specific objectives within a time limit. If a player fails to return to their drop pod before the timer expires, their character's workshop items are lost permanently. This creates meaningful stakes that set Icarus apart from other survival titles. In addition to timed missions, the game also offers Open World mode where players can build persistent bases without time pressure, and Outpost mode for creative building with regenerating resources. Over 100 talent specializations let players customize their characters across exploration, combat, farming, hunting, taming, and building disciplines.
Why Host Your Own Icarus Server?
Running your own Icarus dedicated server gives you and your group full control over your survival experience. Keep the server running around the clock so teammates can log in at any time, manage world saves independently, and configure difficulty settings to match your group's preferences. With XGamingServer's AMD Ryzen 9 7950X hardware, your Icarus server benefits from high single-thread performance, which directly translates to smoother gameplay, faster world loading, and stable performance even with a full group of 8 players exploring the planet together. Dedicated servers are especially valuable for Open World sessions where persistent progress is important.
