RAM Guide for Your Rust Server
Understanding the RAM requirements for your Rust server is crucial to ensuring a stable and optimal gaming experience. This guide provides insights into how much RAM is needed for different world sizes and when you might need additional memory.
RAM Requirements Based on World Size
Below is a table outlining the minimum RAM usage for various world sizes. Use this information to plan your server configuration.
| World Size | Minimum RAM Usage |
|---|---|
| 1000 | 3.5GB |
| 2000 | 4.4GB |
| 3000 | 6.4GB |
| 4000 | 8.0GB |
| 5000 | 9.5GB |
| 6000 | 12.5GB |
Note: You get 8 GB of base memory with a standard Rust server. If your world size or player count exceeds this, additional RAM may be required.
Factors That Affect RAM Usage
1. World Development
As your world progresses, more game objects (buildings, player items, etc.) are created, which can increase RAM usage. Monitor your server if the world grows significantly.
2. Plugin Usage
If you're running plugins on your Rust server, keep in mind that they can increase RAM usage. Each plugin consumes extra resources depending on its complexity and functionality.
- General: Expect RAM usage of 100-150 MB (0.1-0.15 GB) per player.
- RUST.io Livemap: Adds approximately 0.3 GB of RAM usage.
Key Considerations
- Plan your server based on world size and player count to avoid lag and performance issues.
- Consider upgrading your RAM if you plan to use multiple plugins or larger world sizes.
- Monitor RAM usage over time, as it may change depending on server activity and player behavior.
