How much RAM does a Avorion server need?

Q: How much RAM does a Avorion server need?

About 3 GB for 4 players without mods, and never less than 2 GB. Avorion's server is light on a fresh galaxy, but every player keeps sectors loaded, and big fleets, old galaxies and mods need much more. This is an estimate based on typical usage.

How this estimate works

We start from Avorion’s published server requirements (at least 2 GB), then add memory for each player, each of your mods and your how big the galaxy has grown, 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.
