I started with co-op, but once I found out that enemy NPCs respawn so fast (no matter what you set in server settings) that you quiet often can't even clear a camp without them starting to respawn, I quickly switched to dedicated. Better to start off with ones you want and stick to that. The only thing that can usually break games is adding / removing mods often, but that is also the case with singleplayer/co-op. Like noted, doable but needs some extra fiddling, not complicated and better if you are close friends. Like if your other friends install the server too, keep the same server settings and mod lists, you can copy over the game file (game.db) when you need to shut yours down, and they can continue. However it's simple to install so just try it out and see if the performance is acceptable.īeyond that, renting a host is always easier and will be available to all of you 24/7, but if that is not an option, there are things you can do with some fiddling and care. I usually see it using just over 4gb, but my world isn't that populated) and installing on SSD is almost a must. Dedicated is way better, I don't remember the exact specs you need for cpu, although they are not that high, RAM I think 4GB is recommended or minimum (free for the server, not system total.
