How Much RAM Does a Create on a Potato PC: Ultimate Server Need?
Create on a Potato PC: Ultimate is tuned to go easy on weak client hardware, but the server itself still runs Create's full kinetic simulation on NeoForge 1.21.1 — so the RAM question matters more here than it does for a pack built around less demanding mods.

2 GB
Bare minimum for a solo world or a quick test. Create's kinetic simulation will struggle once contraptions get complex, so treat this as a short-term tier, not a real home for your save.
4 GB
The recommended starting point for Create on a Potato PC: Ultimate — enough headroom for a small group building factory lines without the server itself becoming the bottleneck.
6 GB
Safer for a mid-size active group running multiple Create contraptions at once, since kinetic networks and chunk loading add up fast once more than a couple of players are online.
10 GB
For 10+ players or a long-running world with sprawling factory builds — at this scale the chunk-loading limiter and Create's tick load benefit from the extra buffer.
