Server comparison

Dedicated Core Keeper server vs self-hosted and public servers

A dedicated server stays online independently from any player.

💻
PC-hosted
Works for short sessions only
✗Server goes offline when the host logs off
✗Mining runs end the moment the host disconnects
✗Host hardware limits how many players can join smoothly
✗Manual mod installation and updates on the host machine
✗Boss loot and world progress tied to one player's uptime
✗No automated backup for your base or world progress
PC hosting works for short sessions, but quickly becomes frustrating for groups.
★ Best choice
🏆
PingPlayers Dedicated
Best for long-term worlds and communities
✓Always online. Your crew can mine, build, and explore 24/7
✓Persistent world keeps running between sessions
✓Full control over mods, boss spawns, and world settings
✓No host advantage. Fair performance for every player
✓Built for group progression through biomes and boss fights
✓Automated backups protect your base and hard-earned progress
🌐
Public servers
Easy to join, hard to keep
✗Server settings and mods chosen by someone else
✗Progress can be wiped or reset without notice
✗Strangers can grief your base or disrupt your session
✗No control over server restarts or maintenance windows
✗No dedicated resources. Lag spikes on crowded sessions
✗Limited or no Workshop mod support
Public servers can be fun to try, but rarely offer long-term stability or freedom.

About Core Keeper

Core Keeper is a 2D top-down co-op underground adventure developed by Pugstorm and published by Fireshine Games. Launched into Early Access in March 2022 and reaching full release in August 2023, it combines mining, crafting, base building, boss fights, farming, and fishing in a procedurally generated underground world with no surface and no set end state.

Every session starts at The Core, a mysterious ancient structure at the centre of the world. Players mine outward through biomes like Fungal Caverns, Azeos' Wilderness, and the Sunken Sea, each locked behind a gatekeeper boss. Defeat Glurch the Abominous Mass, Ghorm the Devourer, and beyond to unlock deeper tiers of gear and resources. Farming, fishing, cooking, and base construction layer on top of the progression loop.

Core Keeper supports up to 8 players per session and runs a persistent world that stays loaded between sessions. Friends drop in and out freely, and since the Xbox launch in August 2024, PC and Xbox players can join the same server. With a private dedicated server, your group controls the world: no strangers raiding your base, no admin wipes, no sessions ending when one person logs off.
