Documentation
Everything you need to run a community game server on DRACO NEST, grouped by what you are trying to do. Pick a topic below to jump to the right guide, page, or person.
DRACO NEST is in active beta, so deeper step-by-step guides are still being written. In the meantime, each topic links to the most useful place we already have — and you can always reach a human if something is missing.

Day-to-day operations: starting and restarting worlds, the console, players, settings, and where each control lives in the dashboard.

Install and update mods, edit Game.ini / GameUserSettings, and troubleshoot conflicts without juggling extra dashboards.

Common questions
Where do I actually manage my server?
Everything happens in the DRACO NEST app at app.draconest.eu — hosting, mods, backups, logs, and Draco are all in one panel. Request beta access first, then your servers show up under your dashboard.
Do I need to be technical to follow the docs?
No. The platform is built so admins can run stable servers without juggling separate tools, and Draco helps with sizing and diagnostics. Where a task is game-specific (ARK mods, Palworld co-op, Last Oasis), the relevant game page goes into more detail.
A guide I need isn't here yet — what do I do?
We are still in beta and writing more guides. Start with the FAQ, the game pages, or the pricing advisor, and if you still can't find it, contact the team — those questions directly shape what we document next.
