Q: How much RAM does a 7 Days to Die server need?

About 9 GB for 6 players without mods, and never less than 6 GB. Bigger generated worlds and blood-moon hordes push 7 Days to Die's memory up; overhaul mods more so. This is an estimate based on typical usage.

How this estimate works

We start from 7 Days to Die’s published server requirements (at least 6 GB), then add memory for each player, each of your mods and your world size, and round up to a whole GB. It’s an estimate based on typical usage: a world that has been played for a long time, or heavy mods, can need more. Source for the minimum.
