Requirements

Before installing StationeersServerUI, ensure your system meets the following requirements:

System Requirements

• At least 4 processor cores (to run the Stationeers server)

  • SSUI runs on almost anything:
    • around 15mb RAM
    • Intel Core Potato Gen1

• Operating System:

  • Windows
  • Ubuntu 22.04 or higher
  • Debian TRIXIE (13) or higher

• Installation Location:

  • An empty folder of your choice to install the software
  • At least 10gb Disk space

Dependencies

SSUI itself 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 -depending on your Windows version- automatically installed by the Stationeers Server. Just install it manually to be sure. It can be Downloaded from the above link.

Resource Considerations

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 8+ 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

Network Requirements

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
