Requirements
Before installing Stationeers Dedicated Server Control, ensure your system meets the following requirements:
-
At least 4 processor cores (to run the Stationeers server)
- SSUI runs on almost anything
-
Operating System:
- Windows OS
- Ubuntu 22.04 or higher
- Debian TRIXIE (13) or higher (very new, do NOT use Debain 12)
- users reported fedora to work too
- Probably, maybe, Mac OS, but I have no way nor will to test this.
-
Installation Location:
- An empty folder of your choice to install the server control software
This software should be able to run without installing dependencies on any os.
The Stationeers Server on Windows requires The Visual C++ Redistributable on Windows wich is included in some windows versions - make sure to install it manually to be sure.
On Linux, things get foggy.
What I know: Linux Glibcxx 3.4.29 & Glibc 2.34 are needed on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Try installing nothing and check if it runs on your distro, and if not:
-
If you run into really weird issues, ask JacksonTheMaster on discord, or if shy try this:
Check and Install all sorts of possible dependencies I found while experimenting
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386; sudo apt update; sudo apt install bsdmainutils bzip2 jq lib32gcc-s1 lib32stdc++6 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libxml2-utils netcat pigz steamcmd unzip
Depending on the size of your base, the complexity of systems, code, and player connection handling, the Stationeers server can require significant resources:
- Large setups may need 12+ CPU cores and 30GB+ of RAM for optimal performance
- Complex logic networks, high player counts, and sprawling bases with atmosphere calculations are particularly resource-intensive
If you plan to host the server for others to connect:
- Ability to configure port forwarding on your router (for the game server and optionally for the web UI)
- Stable internet connection with sufficient upload bandwidth
- Installation - Learn how to install the server control
- Docker Guide - For containerized deployment options
