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?

  • Day-1 Support For New Buildss&box changes fast — we keep pace with every update instead of falling behind.
  • 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.

"Wasn't expecting a reply for a couple hours based on what I'm used to elsewhere — Axel replied in about 20 seconds and resolved it in 2 minutes."

Moved a Rust server over for a performance boost and said the self-transfer was refreshingly easy, with staff jumping in to fix a couple of small mistakes along the way.

Had an ARK server online fast and said installing Steam Workshop mods straight from the panel couldn't have been simpler.

Was hunting for a 7 Days to Die host that would keep his whole group on equal ping and called it the easiest server setup he's seen, at the best value around.

A self-described programmer said what stood out most was skipping the slot/CPU tier upsells that throttle you elsewhere unless you pay more.
