How do you prevent oversubscription on Icarus servers?
We allocate dedicated vCPU cores and guarantee RAM without sharing resources between customers. Our infrastructure monitoring ensures CPU allocation never exceeds physical hardware capacity, preventing the performance throttling that can cause mission failures during intense weather events.
Can I customize Icarus server settings like weather intensity and resource spawns?
Yes. Full access to server configuration allows customization of storm frequency, weather severity, day/night cycles, resource abundance, and environmental hazard settings. No restrictions on prospect parameters.
How does server performance handle severe weather events?
Our dedicated AMD EPYC allocation ensures consistent performance during severe storms when atmospheric effects, wind physics, and temperature calculations are most intensive. 2GB handles basic prospects, 4GB supports extended missions with severe weather, and 8GB runs complex multi-week expeditions smoothly.
Do you throttle performance during extended prospects?
No. Your allocated resources remain consistent regardless of mission duration or weather complexity. We dimension our infrastructure to handle peak capacity without throttling individual customers' long-term expeditions.
Can I monitor actual server performance during missions?
Yes. Our control panel displays real-time CPU usage, memory allocation, disk I/O, and network statistics. You can verify server stability during critical mission phases and weather events.
What makes your Icarus hosting different from shared game hosting?
Dedicated resource allocation without oversubscription, AMD EPYC processors optimized for single-threaded performance, and transparent monitoring of actual resource usage. No arbitrary time limits or hidden throttling during weather events.
Do you own your infrastructure for Icarus hosting?
Yes. We own our hardware and operate from our own data center facility in Seattle, WA. This eliminates third-party limitations and ensures consistent performance without reseller markup during critical missions.
Are there hidden fees for extended mission durations?
No hidden fees. Your monthly rate includes unlimited prospect duration, weather customization, daily backups, and technical support. No additional charges for extended expeditions or severe weather complexity.
Can I upgrade my server for more complex prospects?
Yes. Instant resource scaling through the control panel with prorated billing. Your prospect data and mission progress transfer seamlessly during upgrades with minimal downtime.
How do you handle Icarus's dynamic terrain and weather systems?
NVMe SSD storage with High performance IOPS allocation prevents the terrain loading delays and weather sync issues common with oversubscribed SATA arrays. Your environmental changes process smoothly regardless of other customers' server activity.
