How to Reduce Lag on Your Starbound Server

Lag usually comes down to resources or settings. This guide covers the changes that make the biggest difference on a Starbound server.

Check your usage first

Open your server page and watch the CPU and RAM graphs while players are on. If either sits near 100 percent, the simplest fix is moving up to the next plan.

Tune the server

  • Remove conflicting or unused mods.
  • Pick a plan with more headroom for busy universes.

Keep it healthy

  • Schedule a daily restart to clear memory.
  • Remove mods you do not use.
  • Keep the game and add-ons updated.

Everything above is done from the 8Bit Hosting panel. Need help? Open a ticket in our Discord or email support@8bit-hosting.com.
