Introduction:
Hey everyone, I want to introduce you to a new server called "Steam and Mud", which recently launched on 5/22/2026, so nearly a week ago. The server already got a pretty large population currently always ranking under the top 10 Vintage Story servers and reaches about 60 - 80 players during peak hours and a minimum of 15 - 20 when its night time or early morning for most of the world.
What SAM has to offer:
-> It's a civilization server
-> It's a PVP orientated server with a unique interactive war and border system, despite that it's still very PVE friendly for those who dislike PVP.
-> A great variety of factions
-> Viable trench warfare, already practiced and tested in the server network tests.
-> Fast and easy to fill out applications and whitelists.
-> A stable server that enables dozens of people next to each other fighting without lag, tested in large network tests before the server launched.
-> A very responsive Admin team that investigates even the smallest complaint immediately
-> Most of the existing community has been playing on other servers together before and has gathered a very dedicated player base who has been constantly playing the game near daily leading to a very consistent player count.
-> No seasons or regular resets, the server will go on as long as people will want to play on it.
-> Friendly to newcomers to the game and servers like this
-> Lot's of fun and chill people
Server Inspirations: Fallout, Trench Crusade, Warhammer 40k, WW1, Steampunk
Lore: Basically the basic Vintage Story lore but rewritten a ton to fit the scenario; Admins are about to drop some more detailed lore books soon.
