Can I move my existing Icarus Open World or Prospect onto a dedicated server?

Yes. A lot of players rent an Icarus server specifically to move an existing world off a host PC. You can upload the save files through FTP or the file manager and continue that same world on the dedicated server instead of starting over.

Is a dedicated server worth it for Open World in Icarus?

Usually, yes. Open World is where dedicated hosting helps most because the map stays online all the time, your base remains available, and your group can keep progressing without relying on one player to host every session.

Can my friends keep playing on the Icarus server while I am offline?

Yes. The server runs in the datacenter rather than on your own PC, so your friends can still join, build, craft, and continue the world even when you are not online.

How do I join my Icarus dedicated server?

Start ICARUS, use the server browser or direct connect, and join with the IP and port from your control panel. If you set a password, players will need that to connect too.

Can I change server settings like the name, password, player limit, or gameplay options?

Yes. You can change the main server settings from the control panel and edit the config files directly through FTP when you want more control over how the server behaves.

Should I use Open World or Prospect mode on a dedicated server?

Most groups choose Open World because it is persistent and much better for long-term bases and shared progression. Prospect mode still has its place for more session-based runs, but Open World is usually the better fit for a rented server.

Do you support backups for Icarus servers?

Yes. Backups matter in Icarus, especially before updates, save uploads, or major setting changes. You can take a backup, test changes, and restore an earlier version if something goes wrong.

Will a dedicated server help with performance in Icarus?

It often does, especially for groups and larger persistent worlds. A dedicated server moves the world hosting load off the machine you are playing on, which can make multiplayer sessions more stable and easier to manage.

What should I do before updating my Icarus server or changing major settings?

Take a backup first. That gives you a safe restore point before game updates, Dangerous Horizons changes, save imports, or config edits, which is the simplest way to avoid losing progress.

Can I keep one long-term world for my group on an Icarus server?

Yes. That is one of the biggest advantages of dedicated hosting for Icarus. You can keep a persistent world online for your group, build over time, and return to the same base and progression whenever you want.
