Stratum says hello to Open Collective!
Published on July 16, 2026 by imtsubaki

Hello!

This is a small but important step for the project. Stratum started as an effort to make Vintage Story servers run better, especially for larger or more demanding multiplayer communities, and it has slowly grown into a real open source project with contributors, testing, releases, and a lot more work ahead.

Open Collective gives us a transparent place to accept support for development, hosting, testing, infrastructure, and the less exciting project costs that still matter.

Thanks to everyone who has tested Stratum, opened issues, contributed code, given feedback, or just followed along while the project has grown. It genuinely helps.

We’re excited to keep building this in the open.
