Prices include everything, with nothing added at checkout. No VAT will be added to these prices. Each server renews automatically until you cancel, in one step in HQ, and we email you before each renewal. Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Founder offer: 10% off your first 12 months (on your first server only, for the first 200 accounts that pay, one per person; closes at 200 or on 31 March 2027). 72-hour full refund on your first purchase (one per customer). A thread is half of a processor core; bursts use idle processor time on the machine, so they aren’t guaranteed.

What you get on Space Engineers

Space Engineers

A new world on the first start

The server makes a fresh Star System world, or upload your own save.

Space Engineers

Workshop mods

The server downloads the Workshop mods your world lists.

On every Exclsv server

BackupsAutomatic backups every hour, kept for 48 hours, and off-site backups every 6 hours, with 7 daily copies kept.
Undo and the BinUndo this change takes back one settings save, and a roll-back can be undone too. Deleted files wait in the Bin for 7 days.
Saved setupsUp to 3 on one server, say a modded world and a vanilla one. Switch in seconds.
Crash careAfter a crash HQ starts the server again and tells you why it stopped. If it keeps crashing, HQ names the likely cause and offers to remove it.
Memory that’s yours8 to 16 GB of DDR4 ECC memory, never shared or oversold, plus CPU threads that are always yours.
UKAn AMD Ryzen CPU, 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory, NVMe storage and always-on network DDoS protection.

HQ stops the server, writes the file, checks it and starts it again. Each save can be undone on its own with Undo this change.

Good to know before you buy

What Space Engineers on Exclsv can’t do, or does differently.

  • Keen supports the server on Windows only, so we run it through Wine. We test it on our own machines before it goes on sale; a big patch can occasionally stop it starting, and Undo update brings back the previous build and your world.
  • PC (Steam) only. Xbox players use Keen’s own servers.
  • World rules are in the world’s Sandbox_config.sbc, edited in the file manager for now.
