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.

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.
