Why host Windrose with Wilderack

  • Sized for a crew

    Plans from a duo to the full crew of 8, with the memory Windrose really needs.

About Windrose

Give your crew a Windrose world that stays afloat between voyages. Friends sail in by address, behind our DDoS protection, and the server rests at anchor when nobody is aboard and wakes when a crewmate joins.

Windrose server hosting FAQ

How much RAM does a Windrose server need?

Windrose is hungry for its size: 8 GB suits 2 players, 12 GB suits 4, and a full crew of 8 needs 16 GB.

How do my friends join?

Friends type your server address and port, which are on the address card in the panel, plus the password if you set one.

Can we use invite codes?

No. Invite codes do not work when a server uses direct join, which the Linux server needs. Direct join also passes our DDoS protection and wakes a sleeping server.

How many players can join?

Up to 8. The developers recommend 4 for the smoothest voyage, which is the default.

Can I kick or ban players?

Not yet. The Windrose dedicated server has no admin, kick or ban settings, so a password is how you choose who sails with you.

Can I switch to a different game later?

Yes. Swap your server to any game your plan can run, as often as you like, with no swap fees. Your old world is saved so you can switch back.

How old do I need to be?

Wilderack is for players aged 13 and up. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian needs to agree to the purchase.
