An idle Abiotic Factor server used about 1.5 GB of memory right after starting with nobody connected. That is an idle figure: it grows as players explore and build, so leave headroom above it and check memory on the Overview page with players online.
Check your own usage
Open your server's Overview page and look at Usage, then the RAM tab, while players are online. An empty server tells you little, so read it with players on. See How to read your server's usage graphs.
Tips for a healthier server
- Keep Auto Update on so the server and players stay on the same version.
- The developers do not recommend more than 6 players. Going above 6 shows joining players a warning pop-up. It is harmless.
- Extreme sandbox values (for example very high enemy health or damage multipliers) make the game show joining players an extremely modified sandbox warning.
Change plan
If memory keeps reaching your plan's limit while players are on, move to a bigger plan. See How to change your plan or billing cycle.
