How to make a Farming Simulator 25 server

To make a Farming Simulator 25 server, you pick a plan with enough RAM, choose a map and how your farm starts, set a server name and passwords, and start it. Your friends then find the server by its name in the game’s multiplayer list. It keeps farming around the clock, so anyone can play whenever they like.

What you need

• Your own copy of Farming Simulator 25 for every player. It runs on PC and Mac, and on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S through crossplay. Everyone needs the same DLC as the server.
• A licence for the server itself. A dedicated server can’t share a key with someone who is playing. The server licence guide explains why. How this works on Wilderack will be shown on the order page when Farming Simulator 25 opens.
• A plan with enough RAM (the server’s memory):

The performance guide explains what uses the most.

About the server

GIANTS’ dedicated server comes with the PC game and only runs on Windows. On Wilderack it runs on a Windows machine for you. You never see Windows: you use the panel, files and settings like for any other game, and players see a normal server in their list.

The server comes with GIANTS’ own web interface for starting, stopping, picking the savegame, adding mods and changing settings. Our panel covers the same jobs, so most owners never need to open it.

Create your server

When Farming Simulator 25 opens on Wilderack, these are the steps:

1. Pick Farming Simulator 25 from the game list.
2. Pick a plan from the table above.
3. Pick the region closest to most of your players: EU or US East.
4. Choose a name for your address, like greenacres.play.wilderack.com. Names use 3 to 32 characters: lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens. Players don’t type it, but you’ll see it in the panel.

Set up your farm

Open Settings to set the basics in plain words:

Pick the map and start before you play. Both belong to the savegame, so changing them later means starting a new farm. The config reference lists every setting.

The first start

The game files install from GIANTS’ official source. We never ship them ourselves. The first start then builds a new savegame on your map, which takes a few minutes. Later starts take one to four minutes, depending on your map and mods.

The server is ready when Overview shows it as Running and it appears in the game’s multiplayer list.

Make yourself admin

In Farming Simulator 25, an admin can kick and ban players, manage farms and change game settings while playing.

1. Join your server like any player. See how to connect.
2. Press Esc and open the multiplayer page of the in-game menu.
3. Choose the admin login and type the admin password from Settings.

Share the admin password only with people you trust. Anyone who has it can ban players and change the farm.

Invite friends

• To play: tell them your server name and game password. They find it under Multiplayer > Join Game.
• To help run it: open Friends and make an invite link with a role. Admin can do almost everything, Moderator can start, stop and watch the server, and Builder can add mods and change files.

Sleeping and Farming Simulator 25

Farming Simulator 25 servers stay awake by default. Players find the server in the game’s list, and a sleeping server isn’t in that list, so joining can’t wake it. If you turn on sleep under Settings > Sleep, share the wake link, play.wilderack.com/w/greenacres. A friend opens it, waits a few minutes for the server to start, and then joins as usual.
