To keep a Sunkenland world always online, the common move is renting a dedicated server. It works - but it is a monthly bill plus setup for a group of friends who really just want flexible hosting.

What the Server Is Actually For

A dedicated server exists so the world is not trapped on one player’s machine. You do not need a box running 24/7 for that - you only need the latest save to reach whoever wants to host next.

SaveSync Does It Without the Server

SaveSync syncs the world to every player automatically. Whoever played last syncs on close; whoever plays next loads the latest save and hosts. Any player can be the host, at no recurring cost.

  1. Install SaveSync - everyone in the group needs it.
  2. Create a sync group and add the Sunkenland save folder once.
  3. Play. The latest world syncs automatically when each session ends.
  4. The next host loads it and plays - no rented hardware, no config.

Drop the Monthly Cost

For most groups a dedicated server is overkill - the real need is just flexible hosting. Get SaveSync on Steam for a one-time purchase and skip the recurring bill. The same install covers every other supported co-op game.
