SCUM Server Hosting for Canadian & US Players

Common questions about SCUM hosting

What happens after I pay for a SCUM server?

Orders are paused for SCUM right now. Minecraft, Terraria, Valheim, Garry’s Mod, Factorio, Palworld, Enshrouded, Satisfactory, Conan Exiles, 7 Days to Die, Rust, Project Zomboid and ARK are available now. Other plans show as paused on billing.fwg.world until orders reopen.

Where are ForgeWorld Gaming SCUM servers hosted?

In Iowa, United States. One region for now, and we say so instead of drawing a map full of flags.

Is there a setup fee or a contract?

No setup fee, and you can cancel any time. Prices are in Canadian dollars; paying from the US, your card or payment account converts the charge to US dollars. Orders are paused for SCUM right now. Email support@fwg.world with your questions (no account needed; account holders can also open a ticket) and we confirm what is possible by email.

How many players can a SCUM server hold?

SCUM plans are listed at 10–32 player slots. Standard plans run CA$15.99–CA$30.99 a month in Canadian dollars, depending on the player count you choose. If you need a size we do not list, email support@fwg.world (no account needed; account holders can also open a ticket) and we confirm what is possible by email.

Can I install mods or change world settings on my SCUM server?

We do not publish a fixed list of what can be changed on a SCUM server, because it depends on the build you want to run. Email support@fwg.world with what you need and we confirm what is possible by email. No account is needed and no payment starts from that; account holders can also open a ticket.

What is the SteamCMD app ID for the SCUM server?

3792580. The Official Scum Wiki warns not to confuse it with a different SCUM server application that also appears in searches.

Which ports does the SCUM server need?

UDP 7777 for the game client, UDP 7778 for the raw socket at game port plus one, and TCP 7779 for the Steam query at game port plus two.

Can the SCUM server run on Linux?

No. The Official Scum Wiki documents the dedicated server for Windows only, and its 64-bit executable will not run on a 32-bit Windows install either.
