Hydroneer dedicated hosting for a small friend group (2026)
Hydroneer (Foulball Hangover) is a mining and excavation sandbox — dig for gold, build a mining operation, forge, fish and dig deep — not the same product page as Satisfactory, Eco, Space Engineers, or Factorio (different engines, host SKUs, multiplayer model, and RAM floors). Among our six hosts, none had a sellable Hydroneer product page today: Shockbyte, Apex Hosting, Nodecraft, GameTeam, BisectHosting and PebbleHost Hydroneer page URLs we tried returned 404 (absent from the catalogs we read). Prices below stay TBD until a host publishes a host-owned Hydroneer plan total. Confirm availability and the bill at checkout if a catalog adds it.
RAM, slots, co-op model and mods
- Friend-group fit: Steam lists Hydroneer with Multi-player, Co-op, Shared/Split Screen Co-op, Steam Workshop and Remote Play Together. That is a small-crew mining sandbox — not a 50-slot factory MMO. A friend group that digs together often wants a persistent claim so the dig site is not stuck on someone’s PC, if a host ever sells a dedicated SKU. Today none of our six do.
- RAM honesty (host claims only): None of Shockbyte, Apex, Nodecraft, GameTeam, Bisect or PebbleHost published a Hydroneer GB floor on a sellable page today. Do not reuse Satisfactory, Eco, Space Engineers or Factorio RAM tables — those are different products. Treat any future Hydroneer plan’s printed RAM as the only honest figure; large excavated worlds and Workshop items can still need meaningful RAM when a host adds the game.
- Mods / Workshop (host claims only): Steam lists Steam Workshop for Hydroneer, but no host in this six-host set claimed one-click Workshop install, mod support, or file-manager tooling on a Hydroneer page we could read (all 404). When a host adds Hydroneer, only trust mod / file claims printed on that product page. See Night 6.
Comparison: Hydroneer plans
Price sources: every price would come from the host’s own Hydroneer page (checked 24 Oct 2026, NZDT). No third-party or search-summary prices are used. Recurring monthly figures are preferred over first-month sale teasers (sales disclosed where shown). TBD means the host page showed no clear plan total, Coming Soon / waitlist, or the page URLs we tried returned 404. Confirm at checkout.

Sources (host-owned): Shockbyte / Apex / Nodecraft / GameTeam / BisectHosting / PebbleHost: no host-owned Hydroneer product page confirmed (404 / absent from catalog). No host is crowned “#1”. Confirm RAM, Workshop tooling and the recurring bill at checkout if a host adds Hydroneer.
Oceania note
Hydroneer’s dig-and-build loop tolerates mid ping better than a competitive shooter, but excavators, belts and shared claims still feel late on a long US route when several friends dig at once. AU/NZ groups should prefer a host that lists an AU / Oceania node on a Hydroneer product page — none of our six did today. Shockbyte (Melbourne company), Nodecraft (Sydney / Melbourne / Auckland on other games), Apex, Bisect, GameTeam and PebbleHost Oceania notes from Satisfactory, Eco or Space Engineers do not transfer here. See the Oceania ping guide.
Budget note and shortlist (not rankings)
- No confirmed sellable SKU in this six-host set today: every row is TBD / 404. Home CTAs below are for asking support whether Hydroneer is on a roadmap — not a price quote.
- RAM planning: wait for a host-printed GB floor. Do not borrow Eco / Satisfactory / Space Engineers / Factorio numbers.
- Mods honesty: Steam Workshop is a Steam tag for the game; no Workshop one-click claim from these six (pages absent). Host claims only.
- If you need Hydroneer online tonight: look outside this six-host set for a host that prints a Hydroneer plan total, or use Steam Remote Play / local co-op while waiting — then re-check this page later when Shockbyte / Apex / Nodecraft / GameTeam / Bisect / PebbleHost add a catalog row.
- Similar nights: Satisfactory (Night 12), Factorio (Night 17), Space Engineers (Night 34), Eco (Night 41). Also budget under ~$20 and Oceania ping.
