Click here to order your Starbound server with Citadel today!
Starbound servers can support a wide range of player counts depending on your configuration. By default, servers allow up to eight players, but this can be expanded to sixteen or more based on your server package. It’s important to note that these limits are not fixed—they’re dynamic and tied directly to the capabilities of your selected hosting plan. Higher player counts can increase server load, so ensuring your package has the resources to handle your desired traffic is key to smooth gameplay. If you're uncertain whether your current setup supports a larger group, our friendly support team is ready to help you assess and optimize your configuration.
