About The Game★
What is s&box?
s&box is Facepunch Studios' spiritual successor to Garry's Mod, rebuilt from the ground up on Valve's Source 2 engine. It gives creators modern tooling for building game modes, maps, and tools with a much more powerful engine underneath.
As an early-access, actively evolving platform, ChicagoServers offers day-one hosting support for new s&box updates and game modes, with no RAM or CPU limits so your community isn't held back as the game continues to grow.
As Facepunch's from-scratch rebuild on Source 2, s&box replaces Garry's Mod's Lua scripting with a modern C#-based workflow — and because it's still actively evolving in early access, the platform itself changes fast, with new builds shipping frequently.
Why host s&box with ChicagoServers?

- C# Addon ReadyFull file access for the game's code-first modding workflow.
- No CPU/RAM CeilingEarly-access engine overhead doesn't get throttled by an arbitrary resource cap.
- Real Human SupportFor a platform this new, you need someone who actually knows it — not a script.
