A Foundry dedicated server gives your crew one persistent voxel world that stays reachable when the host's PC is off. The server software is the separate Foundry: Dedicated Server tool from Steam's Tools library, a Windows program configured through a single app.cfg file. The real decisions live there: server_world_name names the save folder, mapseed fixes the generated terrain, server_password keeps it to friends, and server_is_public decides whether it appears in the Steam server browser. With pause_server_when_empty=false the simulation keeps running while nobody is logged in; set it to true and the world freezes when the last engineer disconnects.
Channel 3 Entertainment says multiplayer is mostly designed for 2–4 players on one server, with no hard limit; server_max_players sets your cap. There is no official RAM figure for the server, so size by how big your world will get. The developers report player saves of 10–50 MB, growing as you explore the endless map, and Update 4 added trains for long-distance transport. Starter's 4 GB is where we would put a fresh co-op world. Plus or Pro gives a long-running, widely explored megabase more room.
On GGameHost, app.cfg is edited in the startup/config editor, scheduled backups copy the world folder, and the live console shows when the server is up. Players connect through Multiplayer → IP Direct Connect with the IP and port (3724 by default). Foundry is a Steam PC game, also playable on Steam Deck, so there is no Xbox or PlayStation client that could join.
Steam Workshop support and an in-game mod menu arrived with Update 1 "Cables & Creations" in August 2024, together with Erkle's tweak system: plain YAML files that rewrite recipes, research, items and machines. Since Update 4, the base crafting and item YAML ships in the game's Templates folder as a starting point. Mods can be flagged client-only, and the game warns you when your enabled mods don't match the server you join. Keep the server's set in step through the file manager or SFTP.

Channel 3 Entertainment's dedicated server page describes the server as a separate Steam tool, Foundry: Dedicated Server, listed under Tools in the Steam library and started from FoundryDedicatedServer.exe or FoundryDedicatedServerLauncher.bat. Steam lists it for Windows. All settings go into an app.cfg file next to the executable.
The same page names two ports: the game port, 3724 by default, and a Steam query port, 27015 by default, which is only used when the server is public. The developers publish no CPU or RAM figure for the server; the Steam store's requirements (8 GB RAM minimum) cover the game client only. Patch notes for Update 4 "Rails & Reactors" (April 2026) list reduced dedicated server memory usage, and a June 2025 hotfix fixed an error on dedicated servers running without a GPU.
Foundry's Steam store page lists Windows as the only supported platform, and the developers' FAQ says they plan to release the game only on Steam. They describe it as playable on Steam Deck. There is no Xbox or PlayStation version, so console crossplay does not exist.
The same FAQ says multiplayer is mostly designed for 2–4 players on one server but has no hard limit. Server owners set their own cap with server_max_players, according to the official server documentation. As of October 2026 the game is still in Early Access, and the developers have not announced a 1.0 date.
Official mod support arrived with Update 1 "Cables & Creations" on August 13, 2024. Its patch notes list Steam Workshop support, a mod management menu, the Foundry Mod Kit (a Unity project for importing new models, textures and materials), Erkle's game-tweak support, mods that declare dependencies on other mods, and mods that can be marked client-only. The same update added a warning when a player's configured mods don't match the server or save they are joining.
Tweaks are plain text: the developers' mod-support blog shows a YAML file that changes a crafting recipe's output. Since Update 4, the game ships its crafting and item YAML files in a Templates folder for modders to start from.
