We wanna be able to enter the world whenever we want to even if one is offline There are 2 World Types : Hosted and Dedicated... Hosted : by a player, if player leaves then server closes Dedicated : on a profesional server hosting machine , cost money and runs 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wanna be able to enter the world whenever we want to even if one is offline IF the server is Dedicated, the server will be on no matter what. This will require money and luck. Money for the server and luck that you don't encounter trolls looking for an 0 person server. Hosted is wayyyyyy more safe in terms of your world getting griefed. The host can easily kick out anyone bad. It also means that if your friend has only an amount of time available for playing, you also have that amount of time on the server. Your server will immediately close down when the host leaves. In conclusion, get dedicated server if you have money AND are willing to risk entering the server only to find it griefed. Get hosted if you are afraid of griefing OR do not want to use money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MostMerryTomcat Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 You don't need to get yourself a dedicated server right off the bat presumably being a beginner. You can opt for a community dedicated one (there are a lot of friendly communities out there that policies their servers well with constantly updated ban lists of known and less known-but-recurrent griefers plus moderators constantly/most of times online in said servers - check DST Server Bulletin section or appropriate DST groups in Steam) 'till you and your friend learn the ropes of this game.

CarlZalph Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 You can also self host your own dedicated server if you have a spare computer than can handle it. The person who is doing this would have to have a decent bandwidth to support its players total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
