3x XP. Faster nights. Endless horde.
Boosted progression so you hit the good gear sooner. 3x XP, 2x item respawn, and a 24/7 server that's always up when you are.
Survival, accelerated
All the tension of blood moons without the slow early grind.
3x XP and 3x Loot
XP and loot abundance are both set to 300%, so you level fast and every container is worth opening.
2-Day Loot Respawn
Containers refill every two in-game days, with an air drop each day, so resource runs keep paying off.
PVE with a Safe Start
Player killing is off and new players get a safe zone for their first levels; blood moons hit every 7 days.
24/7 Uptime
Always online with land claims to protect your base. We only reset the world when a game update adds new content that needs it.
How to connect
Community servers don't always show in the list, so the reliable route is a direct IP connect. It takes about a minute.
Open the server browser
From the main menu pick Join a Game. Don't rely on the search box; community servers are often missing from the list. Use Connect to IP instead.
Click Connect to IP
Click the Connect to IP button near the top. A small dialog opens with separate input fields.
Fill the two separate fields
Put 7days.vortexgaminghq.net in the IP field and 26900 in the Port field. Don't paste the address with the colon into the IP box, the two fields are separate. Leave the password blank.
Connect
Hit Connect. The server sends its config and loads you in. If you bounce straight back out, your game version or EAC setting doesn't match the server, or it is still booting, so wait a minute and retry.
Save it (optional)
To pin it: Steam menu → View → Game Servers → Favorites → Add a server → 7days.vortexgaminghq.net:26900 (the colon works here).
Server rules
A short set of rules keeps the server fair and friendly, and our staff play here and enforce them.
- No cheating, hacking, duping, or exploiting.
- Be respectful. No harassment, slurs, or hate speech.
- No griefing: don't raid, loot, or destroy another player's base or claimed land.
- Keep traders and POIs open to everyone; don't claim-block shared areas.
- No lag machines or builds that tank server performance.
- Listen to staff and follow their direction.
