How to Fix the Out of Memory Crash on a Modded Terraria Server

Note: The out of memory crash in Terraria occurs when loaded modifications exceed the allocated RAM limit of your server container. Optimizing your active modification manifest and managing memory-heavy assets restores container stability and prevents continuous crash loops on startup.

1. Log In to Your Panel


2. Stop Your Server


3. Access the Console Tab

Select the ‘Console’ tab from the top navigation bar to inspect recent crash logs.
