Setting Up Your Subnautica Dedicated Server
Hosting a Subnautica server on a Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a great option for players who want full control over their multiplayer environment. This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough to set up your Subnautica server using a VPS provider.
Essential Requirements for a Subnautica Server
To ensure a smooth and efficient Subnautica server operation, adhere to the following minimum hardware and software specifications:
Hardware Specifications
- Processor (CPU): Minimum 3.0 GHz dual-core.
- Memory (RAM): At least 4 GB.
- Disk Space: Minimum 25 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 a Subnautica 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 Subnautica Server Files
Use SteamCMD to download the Subnautica dedicated server application. The Nitrox mod is commonly used to enable dedicated multiplayer for Subnautica.
Step 4: Configure Your Subnautica Server
After installation, configure the server by editing the server configuration files. Adjust settings like server name, password, max players, and game mode as necessary.
Step 5: Open Server Ports
Ensure your VPS firewall is configured to allow traffic through the game port used by your Subnautica server. This is typically done by adding rules to allow TCP/UDP traffic on the required ports.
Step 6: Launch Your Subnautica Server
Execute the server application to start your server. Confirm its availability by checking for connection readiness in the server console output.
Step 7: Connect to Your Server
Players can now join your server by entering the server IP address and port in the multiplayer connection dialog.

About Subnautica
What is Subnautica?
Subnautica is an open-world underwater survival adventure game developed by Unknown Worlds Entertainment. Set on an alien ocean planet called 4546B, players take the role of a lone survivor who must explore a vast, beautiful, and dangerous underwater environment after crash-landing from the starship Aurora. The game blends survival mechanics with deep exploration, narrative discovery, and creative building, all beneath the waves of an alien sea. Originally released in early access in 2014 and fully launched in 2018, Subnautica has earned widespread acclaim for its atmosphere, world design, and sense of wonder. With the release of Subnautica 2, cooperative multiplayer has become a central feature, allowing friends to explore together on dedicated servers.
Underwater Survival and Exploration
The core of Subnautica is its vast ocean world, which ranges from sunlit coral reefs and kelp forests near the surface to pitch-black deep-sea trenches, volcanic vents, and bioluminescent cave systems hundreds of meters below. Players must manage oxygen, hunger, thirst, and health as they dive deeper into increasingly hostile biomes. The alien ocean is populated with a rich ecosystem of creatures, some passive and helpful, others predatory and territorial. Resource gathering, equipment upgrades, and vehicle construction allow players to push further into uncharted depths, unraveling the mysteries of the planet and the fate of the Aurora along the way. Each biome presents unique challenges, resources, and creatures, rewarding thorough exploration and careful preparation.
Base Building and Crafting
Subnautica features a robust base-building system that allows players to construct underwater habitats on the ocean floor. Bases serve as safe havens for storing resources, recharging equipment, growing food, and planning deeper expeditions. Players choose from a wide variety of modules including corridors, observation rooms, multipurpose rooms, moonpools for vehicle docking, and power generators. Hull integrity must be managed as bases are built at greater depths, adding a layer of engineering challenge. The crafting system spans tools, equipment, vehicles like the Seamoth submarine and Prawn exosuit, and survival essentials. Gathering blueprints from wrecks and alien structures unlocks advanced technology, creating a satisfying progression loop tied directly to exploration.
Why Host Your Own Subnautica Server?
With Subnautica 2 bringing full cooperative multiplayer to the franchise, hosting your own dedicated server gives your group the best possible experience. A dedicated server stays online around the clock, so friends can drop in and continue progress at any time without needing the host to be present. You control the server settings, world saves, and who can join, ensuring a private and stable environment for your crew. With XGamingServer's AMD Ryzen 9 7950X hardware, your Subnautica server benefits from high single-thread performance, which translates directly to smoother world loading, stable frame rates, and responsive gameplay even when multiple players are exploring different biomes simultaneously.
