Step 1: Pick a Reliable Hosting Provider
Subnautica with the Nitrox mod requires a stable server environment to maintain synchronization between players, world states, and base construction. Consistent performance and reliable networking are key to a smooth multiplayer experience.
When selecting your host, focus on:
Performance: Reliable CPU performance and fast SSD or NVMe storage ensure smooth world updates and save handling.
Network Quality: Low latency and stable connections reduce desync and connection issues between players.
Ease of Management: A user-friendly control panel simplifies server setup, updates, and configuration.
Support Availability: 24/7 support is essential when working with mod-based multiplayer servers.
