Soulmask Server Hosting

At RespawnHost from 19.00 € per month as a fixed plan with 8 GB RAM (term discounts up to 20% for 360 days) or pay-per-use from about 0.1046 € per hour – billed per second, only while the server runs. A 4-hour session on the 12 GB plan costs around 0.62 €.

No. Since its 1.0 release in April 2026 Soulmask remains a PC-only title on Steam. The developer has only vaguely mentioned other platforms, with no date. Dedicated servers therefore exist for the PC version only.

Soulmask officially supports up to 70 players simultaneously on a dedicated server. The default of the -MaxPlayers launch parameter is 20 – at RespawnHost you set the slot count freely in the web interface.

For small tribes up to about 10 players, 8-12 GB is enough. From 16-32 players we recommend 16-24 GB, and for full 70-player lobbies with many tribesmen 32-48 GB – on large, long-running worlds the server process alone can use over 12 GB.

By default UDP 8777 as the game port and UDP 27015 as the Steam query port, plus echo port 18888. At RespawnHost all ports are configured and opened automatically.

Yes. Set the map to DLCLevel01Main in the web interface – the server downloads the Egypt content automatically from Steam. Note: every player needs the Shifting Sands DLC on their own Steam account (free for everyone who claimed it between April 10 and May 10, 2026, since then regularly $19.99).

Yes. From the web interface you can configure the server mode between PvE and PvP (launch parameter -pve). Since 1.0 you additionally pick one of the game modes Survival, Tribe, or Warrior when creating the world.

You recruit NPCs from the world, teach them trades (gatherer, farmer, warrior), and they work autonomously – with a significantly reworked AI since the 1.0 update. On the server they persist even when nobody is online.

Soulmask is CPU and RAM intensive, especially because of the tribesmen AI. That's why we run modern AMD Ryzen CPUs – plenty of performance for fully populated worlds.

We operate locations in Germany and in the USA (Salt Lake City). Choose your location when creating the server.

The server itself comes online in under 90 seconds. Installing the Soulmask game files takes another 1-3 minutes depending on location.

Every server sits behind Premium Gaming DDoS Protection. It is always on at every location and included at no extra cost.

Yes, you can upload your local world (savegame) via SFTP. Character and tribesmen data come along.

We create automatic backups; on top of that the server itself saves backups at a configurable interval (launch parameter -backup, default every 900 seconds). Snapshots can be restored with one click from the web interface.

The server stops automatically. World, fortresses, tribe, and tribesmen data remain intact. After topping up, everything continues right where you left off.

No. There is no contract and no minimum term at RespawnHost. You top up credit and use it whenever you want – or pick a fixed plan with a 30 to 360 day term.

Restart the server – our system fetches the update from Steam automatically and installs it before booting. The 1.0 update and the Shifting Sands content arrived on servers the same way.

Yes, full SFTP access to all server files, including GameXishu.json, world saves, and logs.

Yes. Set the admin password in the web interface (launch parameter -adminpsw), open the in-game console with the tilde key, and type gm key <password>. The GM menu then offers spawns, weather, coefficients, and kick/ban.

At any time via the web interface (launch parameters -SteamServerName and -PSW). Changes apply after a restart.

Yes. You can configure scheduled restarts (daily, weekly) from the web interface – important for long Soulmask sessions because of memory cleanup.

Yes. XP, harvest, and drop multipliers, day/night cycle, and over 100 other coefficients can be adjusted in the in-game GM menu (coefficient settings) or directly in GameXishu.json via SFTP.

On Discord typically within a few minutes; via the ticket system within minutes to hours.
