Player load
How player count affects resources
One shared settlement creates regional entity density, while groups spread around the island widen active-world work.
-
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 | One shared settlement creates regional entity density, while groups spread around the island widen active-world work. | Measure a busy session |
| Game activity | Dense construction and many AI actors in one area produce a different processing profile from a small roaming group. | Repeat the peak scenario |
| World / save growth | Building pieces, exploration, and inventories expand the save; repeat save-duration and restore tests regularly. | Track save and restore duration |

Mod / plugin level
Mods, plugins, and additional content
Game updates can change community-mod behaviour. Test startup and rollback with a copied modded world.
Mod compatibility can vary by game and server-software release.
Administration
Administration and server settings
Control game mode, difficulty options, access, save selection, and restart planning from one configuration record.
Installation and management
After deployment, manage Sons of the Forest processes, version changes, and settings that require restarts in controlled maintenance windows.
Backups
Back up Sons of the Forest saves, configuration, and additional-content data as separate restore points before changes.
File access
Limit file access to Sons of the Forest configuration, logs, and managed content directories; stop the relevant process before replacing active files.
Frequently asked questions
Sons of the Forest
How should I compare plans for an established settlement?
Use your existing save with its developed construction and AI activity. Compare CPU and memory use around the base with an exploration session. Measurements from a small roaming group may not represent a large settlement.
What extra test should I run if players spread across the island?
Add a session with simultaneous activity in separate areas to the shared-settlement test. Active world coverage changes, so measure both arrangements at the intended player count before choosing resources.
How can I avoid starting a new world when loading an existing save?
Check the save slot together with the continue-or-new-game selection. Preserve the files and confirm that a copy loads the expected settlement. Starting an empty world is not a successful migration.
Is checking startup enough after a game or mod update?
No. Inspect the established settlement, important inventories and player connections in a copied world. Preserve previous game and mod versions with the save files. A running process does not establish world integrity.
How should I separate owner permissions from the player password?
Give owner or administrator access only to those responsible for operation, and set joining rules separately. Recheck the save slot and access settings after a restart to confirm that the intended world is available to the group.
