Its the Raspberry Pi 5, comes with 8GB RAM, I bought a case for it as it does get rather hot. I bought the Aluminium Passive Cooling Case Armour V5, which is silent in operation. I have it sat in the corner, out the way. The case keeps the temps moderate. The Pi is warm to the touch. Looking at the graphs it uses between 8-20% CPU and about 25% RAM. Even under load the CPU & RAM stay around the same, The CPU does spike to 60% for a secound when someone launches the game and it needs to download their data. But other than that it stays low.
Yes, so the SPT-Server is just a database, the heavy lifting is done by whoever is hosting a game. The server sends requests to the host to spawn AI for example. So whoever is hosting needs a good enough machine to support all the events happening in the raid.
