ABOUT THE GAME
What is Core Keeper?
Core Keeper is a top-down survival sandbox about mining, exploration, base building, crafting, farming and boss progression in a procedurally generated underground world. Its dedicated server is lightweight, making it a strong fit for friend groups that want a persistent cavern without paying for a heavy server footprint.
Why a dedicated server?
A dedicated Core Keeper server keeps the cavern available for the whole group and centralizes world settings, saves and backups. The maintained server definition is light enough that Runic’s 4 GB commercial floor already provides significant headroom.
