Satisfactory server hosting

Clock in whenever.
Nobody has to host.

A Satisfactory server in London that's there whenever your crew wants to build, with no one's PC left running overnight. Claim it from the game's own Server Manager, bring the save you've already started, and download your backups whenever you like.

Satisfactory plans

Size for the crew.
Then for the factory.

Every plan comes with everything further down this page. What changes is the RAM and the player slots, and Satisfactory wants more RAM as your factory spreads across the map. Tell us how many of you play and whether you'll use mods, and we'll show you where to start.

Satisfactory servers let 4 players in by default, and 4 is what Coffee Stain supports. You can raise the limit in Game.ini, but the official wiki warns the server is tuned for four. Its guidance is 8 GB of RAM, and 16 GB for big saves or more than 4 players. Coffee Stain doesn't publish a figure of its own. Factories only get bigger, so expect to need more as yours grows.

These sizes are a guide. Mods, game settings and updates can all change how much RAM a server needs.

Our promises

  • Lag-free promise

    We never overload our machines. If your server lags because of our hardware, we fix it at our cost.

  • One-click cancel

    Cancel from your account whenever you like. It takes one click, and you won’t have to argue with anyone first.

  • Your backups, your files

    Automatic daily backups you can restore or download any time. Your world never gets held hostage.

  • Help that knows your server

    An AI assistant in your Game Panel that reads your server's logs and config files, and changes nothing until you approve it.

Server set-up

From empty server
to first shift.

Most of a Satisfactory server's set-up happens inside the game, in the Server Manager, rather than in a config file. Here's the order, from adding the server to getting your crew in.

1 of 7

Add it

Open the Server Manager from Satisfactory's main menu and add your server by its address and port. Dedicated servers are added and joined here, not through Join Game.

Where
Main menu, Server Manager
You need
Your server's address and port, from the Game Panel
Usual port
7777

2 of 7

Trust it

The first time you connect, the game shows the server's own self-signed certificate and asks you to confirm it. Confirm it once and the game remembers it for that server.

Who sees it
Every player, the first time
Asked again

3 of 7

Claim it

A new server belongs to whoever claims it first, so claim yours as soon as it's built. Give it a name and an admin password, and you're its admin.

You set
Server name and admin password
Admin password
Can be changed, never removed
Lost it?
Reset the server's settings file and claim it again

4 of 7

Start a game

Create a new game on the server, or upload a save from your PC in the Manage Saves tab and load it. Until one is loaded, the server is running but nobody can join.

Lock it

Player password protection is off by default, so anyone with your address can join. Set a password to keep the server to your crew. Change it later and everyone enters the new one.

Tune it

Auto-pause, saving when a player leaves, the autosave interval and network quality are all switches in the Server Manager. The player limit is the one setting that lives in a file.

Crew up

Your crew add the server in their own Server Manager with the same address, enter the player password and join from there. Steam and Epic players can play together.

Steps from Coffee Stain's Dedicated Server API docs, which ship with the game, and the official Satisfactory wiki, checked on version 1.2.4.1. Console players can't join dedicated servers at all.

Mods

Mods work.
Everyone needs them.

Satisfactory has no official mod support, but Coffee Stain built the PC game to be modded and the community has run with it. You have full access to your server's files, so you can add mods yourself.

  • Most Satisfactory mods

    Satisfactory Mod Manager

    Mods come from the community's Satisfactory Mod Repository at ficsit.app and install with its Satisfactory Mod Manager, which works with the Steam and Epic versions and with dedicated servers.

    Browse mods on ficsit.app (opens in a new tab)

  • Players install them too

    A modded server

    A server running mods marks itself as modded, and an unmodded copy of Satisfactory won't try to connect to it. Everyone who joins needs a modded game, so check each mod's page for what players need.

Big Satisfactory updates, especially ones that change the game's engine version, usually break mods until their authors catch up. Keep a backup from before you update.

Settings

Mostly switches.
One file.

Nearly everything is set as admin in the game's Server Manager. The player limit is the exception, and it lives in Game.ini. Here's what each one does.

Name and admin password

Both are set when you claim the server. The admin password guards loading saves, the server's options and starting new games. You can change it, but you can't remove it.

SettingsServer NameAdmin Password

Player password

Off by default, so anyone with the address can join. It has to be different from the admin password.

SettingPlayer Password Protection

Player limit

Four by default. Raise it in Game.ini with the server stopped. The official wiki warns the server is tuned for four, so more players means more work for it and more RAM.

SettingMaxPlayers

Auto-pause

Pauses the game while nobody's connected. Switch it off if you'd rather the factory kept producing with everyone logged off.

SettingAuto Pause

Saving

The server autosaves every 5 minutes by default and keeps the last three. It can also save whenever a player disconnects. Our daily backups come on top, and you can download them.

SettingsAutosave IntervalAuto-Save on Player Disconnect

Which save loads

The session the server loads the latest save of when it starts. Check it after you upload a save, so a restart picks up the right factory.

SettingAuto-Load Session Name

Network quality

Higher settings can improve load times and network performance for players, at the cost of the server's frame rate.

SettingNetwork Quality

Ports

7777 over UDP and TCP, plus 8888 over TCP for reliable messaging, unless they're changed. Players only enter the first: the game finds the second for itself.

Joining

Get the crew
on the same shift.

Everyone joins through the Server Manager, on Steam or Epic.

  1. Add it in the Server Manager

    In Satisfactory's main menu, open the Server Manager, add a server and enter your server's address and port from the panel. Using Join Game instead gets you an "Encryption token missing" error.

  2. Confirm the certificate

    The first time, the game shows the server's own certificate and asks whether you trust it. Confirm it once and the game remembers it.

  3. Enter the player password

    If you've set one, everyone types it in the Server Manager, then joins from there. Steam and Epic players join the same way.

FAQ

Satisfactory questions,
straight answers.

What people ask before they rent a Satisfactory server.

How much RAM does a Satisfactory server need?

We recommend up to 8 GB for up to 4 players, up to 16 GB for 5 to 8 players and up to 24 GB for 9 or more players. Our RAM sizes are a guide, based on player count. What a server really uses also depends on its mods and plugins, its settings (map size, view distance and spawn rates all count), how much its world grows over time, and the game's own updates. If you're planning a modded server, start a size up.

How many players can join a Satisfactory server?

Four by default, and four is what Coffee Stain supports. You can raise MaxPlayers in Game.ini. The official wiki says up to 127 is possible in theory but not in practice, and warns the server is tuned for four, so more players means more RAM and a busier server.

Can Steam and Epic players play together?

Yes. Players on the Steam and Epic versions of Satisfactory can both join a dedicated server, whichever store the server itself came from.

Can PlayStation and Xbox players join?

No. Coffee Stain has said the console versions won't be able to join dedicated servers, and there's no crossplay between PC and console. Console players can still play together in sessions hosted on their consoles.

Can I bring my single-player or co-op save?

Yes. Claim the server, open the Manage Saves tab in the Server Manager, upload the save from your PC and load it. The server has to be on the same version of Satisfactory as your game, because a save that's too new or too old won't load.

Does my factory keep running when nobody's on?

Only with Auto Pause switched off. With it on, the server pauses the game while nobody's connected. You'll find it in the Server Manager's settings for your server.

Can I use mods?

Yes, through the community's Satisfactory Mod Manager and the mods on ficsit.app. Coffee Stain doesn't support mods officially, big updates tend to break them for a while, and everyone who joins a modded server needs a modded game too.

I've lost the admin password. What now?

Stop the server and delete its server settings file, ServerSettings.7777.sav (the number is your server's port), then claim the server again. If you can't see that file in your Game Panel's file manager, open a ticket and we'll delete it for you. Your saves stay, but the server's name, player password, auto-load choice and certificate all reset. Download a backup from your Game Panel first.
