astroapyr Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hello. I am planning on running a LAN dedicated server in my other laptop (lets call it PC-B) to play from my main PC with DST (lets call it PC-A), since PC-A isn't good enough to host the same server I'm playing and the PC-B isn't better. Basically, the plan goes like this: wire PC-B to the router-switch, create and run in PC-B a dedicated server with the guidance of a video I found, wire PC-A to the same router-switch and log in DST to play in the dedicated server from PC-A. Here is the question of the topic: What happens if PC-B is turnt off while running the server? Is the progress of the server lost? Will the world still be available once I turn it on again? I'm just asking before experimenting. Here is the video if interested: Spoiler Also, if you've had any experience running a dedicated server from a free online server provider I would like to read how it went. I'm doing all this for the sake of playing DST and try all the DST content since it's kinda difficult to play in a private hosted/dedicated server where all your progress is lost for restarts, if you got any idea I would be glad to read it too.

Captain_Rage Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Even when you start a game and / or create a new world on a single computer the game fires up a server instance (and yet another server instance if you enable caves). The difference would be that the computer that you're playing on would connect to a server instance on another computer. The data and progress will be saved on the other computer (except for some minor local data, like the minimap file). The progress will be saved on the computer that runs the server instance. The progress will be loaded once you start the server instance again.

Daniel86268 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Short and simple answer: The DST server generally saves the progress once every ingame day. If the server is killed without a proper shutdown everything till the last save/morning is lost.

RazingHel Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 All game progress is saved on the dedicated server (PC-B in your example) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/100334-what-happens-if-a-server-device-running-a-dedicated-server-is-shut-down/#findComment-1129897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
