About Starbound
What is Starbound?
Starbound is an action-adventure sandbox game developed and published by Chucklefish. Set in a procedurally generated 2D universe, the game begins with your character fleeing their home planet after it is destroyed by a mysterious force. From there, you are free to explore an infinite number of planets, each with unique biomes, creatures, weather systems, and underground dungeons. Starbound blends exploration, building, crafting, and combat into a cohesive experience that appeals to players who enjoy open-ended gameplay with a story campaign to follow at their own pace.
Space Exploration Sandbox
At its core, Starbound is a game about traversing the cosmos. You pilot your own starship between star systems, land on planets ranging from lush forests and scorching deserts to frozen wastelands and alien oceans, and gather resources to fuel your journey. Each planet is procedurally generated, meaning no two visits are the same. You can mine resources deep underground, discover hidden temples and ancient artifacts, encounter villages populated by various alien races, and engage in combat with hostile creatures and bosses. The game offers three distinct modes -- Casual, Survival, and Hardcore -- allowing players to choose the level of challenge that suits them.
Modding and Custom Content
One of Starbound's greatest strengths is its modding community. The game was built from the ground up to support modifications, and the Steam Workshop is home to thousands of mods that add new races, biomes, weapons, quests, ships, and gameplay mechanics. Whether you want to install Frackin' Universe for a massive content overhaul or add quality-of-life improvements, running your own dedicated server gives you complete control over which mods are active. XGamingServer's Starbound hosting makes mod management straightforward through our control panel and full SFTP access.
Why Host Your Own Starbound Server?
While Starbound supports direct peer-to-peer multiplayer, hosting a dedicated server through XGamingServer provides significant advantages. A dedicated server stays online around the clock, allowing friends and community members to join and build at any time without requiring the host player to be present. You gain full administrative control over the universe, including the ability to set custom rules, manage player permissions, install and update mods centrally, and maintain automated backups of your universe data. With AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors, DDR5 RAM, and NVMe SSDs, our servers deliver the consistent performance needed for smooth exploration across multiple planets with several players connected simultaneously.
