How do i host a private server for friends?
Hey guys, I have been wanting to host my own server for me and my friends to play on and when i look it up on the internet i get no solid tutorials and just random things. I am quite experienced with hosting servers and i don't want this server to even show up on the main server list just as long as me and my friends can play. So if anyone has a tutorial they know of? And also what ports do i have to forward to. Thanks!

You have to rent a dedi, can't host locally.

And if you're renting a dedi, just put a password on it. Who cares if it can be seen?

So there is no way to host a server off of my machine? That wouldnt make sense because if other hosting companies are able to get the server files why am i not able to?

Wrong I am afraid, they are companies, and this game is still in alpha.
And even then I am not sure they will release their server files.

Plus it has an public loot/ reward system they don't want ppl to fiddle with most likely.
