Hytale Server RAM Calculator
Visual heatmap showing RAM requirements for different player counts and view radius combinations.
Formula: RAM (GB) = 4 + Players × (0.5 + ViewRadius² × 0.5 / 36²)
Based on community testing from Hytale Discord.
< 12 GB (Safe)
12-32 GB (Warning)
> 32 GB (High Risk)

Quick Reference
Small Server
1-10 players, radius 36
~6-9 GB RAM
Medium Server
20-30 players, radius 36
~14-19 GB RAM
Large Server
50+ players, radius 36+
32+ GB RAM recommended
Optimization Tips
- • View radius has quadratic impact - reducing from 72 to 36 cuts memory by ~75%
- • Player count is linear - each player adds relatively predictable memory
- • Start conservative - begin with radius 36 and increase only if needed
- • Monitor actual usage - these are estimates; real usage varies with mods
FAQ
Why is view radius so impactful?
View radius defines a circle. Area = πr², so doubling radius = 4x chunks loaded per player.
What if I need high view radius?
Limit concurrent players, use SSD storage, and ensure high single-thread CPU performance.
