Simhive docs

How the free WoW simming pool works, how to install the app, get a token, sim your character and add more machines. Everything in one place.

Simhive is a shared pool of computers that run World of Warcraft gear simulations for each other. You install one app, get a token, and your Droptimizer, Top Gear and Quick Sim runs are split across every machine online. While you are not using your PC, it sims for the others.

Installing the app and joining Simhive takes about five minutes; the first SimulationCraft download a few more.

Start here #

1. Install the app — Windows or Linux, then pick a name and get your token.
2. Sim your character — paste your /simc export, press Sim, read the report.
3. Add your other machines — the same token on every PC you own; threads, pause and schedules from anywhere.

Going further #

• How the pool works — batches, what is measured, what the score does at peak.
• Docker and headless machines — a server or NAS that lends cores without a desktop.
• Sim from the browser — the interface on the pool, for when you are not at your PC.
• Troubleshooting — the messages you may see and what they mean.
• Privacy — what leaves your machine, and what runs on it for others.

Questions that are not about setup are in the FAQ.
