The Front is an early-access open-world survival game mixing exploration, crafting, base building and PvP/PvE combat. Gather resources, grow your base and survive both the open world's dangers and other players.

The game supports multiplayer via dedicated servers, keeping a persistent world accessible at any time, even while players are offline.

Deploying a server

Prerequisites : Have a Windows or Linux host with the Drooft Game Hosting service installed.
If you haven't already, please follow the installation guide for the Drooft Game Hosting service.
1 Go to the page adding game server and fill in: host, game (The Front), server name, game port (default 7900, a second port 7902 is automatically reserved) and access type (password, friends, public).
2 Wait a few minutes for the server to switch to the "Game server turned off" , then configure the maximum number of players at the bottom of the page.
3 Start your server (button "to start up") : all that's left is to play and invite your friends !
Important : The Front doesn't offer RCON or a documented network API — online player counting is therefore not available on the site for this game, unlike others.

Tips:

Check that both server ports are open on the internet (UDP and TCP). You can test whether your ports are open directly from your game server's page, using the icon .

Customizing Server Settings

A number of game server settings can be changed directly from the site:

Password Allows you to join the game (single player)
Maximum players Maximum number of players who can join the server simultaneously

Other options may be added in the future, depending on needs.
