Evaluate CPU, memory, and storage options against the expected game workload.
Player load
How player count affects resources
A larger crew adds characters, inventories, and interactions, but submarine complexity can matter as much as headcount.
-
Processor workload
Measure processor peaks and game-loop response during a busy session.
-
RAM
Track peak memory use together with growth headroom.
-
SSD / NVMe storage
Measure storage behaviour across saves, logs, and backups.
-
Mod and script density
Measure actual mod, plugin, and script workload separately from extension count.
-
World / map size
Track world size, active regions, and persistent-data growth together.
-
Player scenario
Evaluate concurrent-player distribution, activity, and content workload together.
Detailed planning notes
| Scenario | Resource effect | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Concurrent players | A larger crew adds characters, inventories, and interactions, but submarine complexity can matter as much as headcount. | Measure a busy session |
| Game activity | Complex wiring, water and damage simulation, and dense creature encounters can peak above routine travel. | Repeat the peak scenario |
| World / save growth | Campaign progress, crew records, inventories, and world state increase save value; retain restore points between missions. | Track save and restore duration |
CAPACITY ESTIMATE
Estimate Resources for Your Barotrauma Server
Estimate starting capacity from your player and world goals.
Capacity summary
Estimated CPU, memory, storage, and a suitable resource profile appear here.
Mod / plugin level
Mods, plugins, and additional content
Custom submarines and Workshop packages must match in order and version across clients. Test removal of campaign dependencies on a backup.
Mod compatibility can vary by game and server-software release.
Administration
Administration and server settings
Set campaign mode, traitor and bot behaviour, access, mod order, and vote rules under the community policy.
Installation and management
After deployment, manage Barotrauma processes, version changes, and settings that require restarts in controlled maintenance windows.
Backups
Back up Barotrauma saves, configuration, and additional-content data as separate restore points before changes.
File access
Limit file access to Barotrauma configuration, logs, and managed content directories; stop the relevant process before replacing active files.
Frequently asked questions
Barotrauma
What should I measure when choosing resources for a custom submarine?
Test a busy mission with the actual submarine, including its wiring, pumps and damage behaviour. Compare CPU and memory use with routine travel. Crew count alone does not describe the needs of a complex design.
Can I treat bots and players as equivalent for capacity planning?
Test the intended player and bot arrangement together. AI tasks and submarine systems can create different work at the same total crew size. Validate resource selection with the planned missions and crew configuration.
What should I do when changing a Workshop submarine or content package?
Keep the campaign save, submarine and content-package versions and order. Load a copy and check inventories and mission continuation. Do not overwrite the working campaign while a required dependency is missing.
Is the submarine file enough to move a campaign?
No. Prepare the campaign save together with the submarine and mod set used by that campaign. Inspect crew, inventory and progress in the migrated copy. A design file is not a substitute for campaign progress.
What should I test first if delays occur only during combat?
Compare routine travel and intense combat in the same submarine. Relate wiring, creature and damage activity to CPU and memory measurements. After isolating problematic content, evaluate packages against any remaining resource constraint.
