Players need the same mods, and big updates can break them. ## Set up your Satisfactory server Four steps from an empty server to your first production line. 1. ### Pick a size Use the table above for your team and your factory. 2. ### Pick a location Choose the one closest to your team from our 20 game server locations. 3. ### Claim the server Add the server in the Server Manager with its address, name it, set the admin password and create or upload a save. 4. ### Invite your team Each player adds the server in the Server Manager with its address and joins from there. ## Other game servers you might like [See every game](https://hyperdc.com/game-server-hosting) ### Space Engineers Persistent worlds with PCU limits, mods and console crossplay.

Raise MaxPlayers in Game.ini or with a command-line argument; the server is tuned for 4, so more players can cost stability. ### Can console players join a dedicated server? No. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions, out since November 2025, cannot use dedicated servers, and there is no crossplay between PC and console. Steam and Epic players can share a server. ### Which ports does a Satisfactory server use? 7777 on TCP and UDP, plus 8888/TCP for reliable messaging since update 1.1; most connection problems after 1.1 come from 8888 not being open. Ports 15000 and 15777 are no longer used. ### How much RAM does a Satisfactory server need? The official wiki asks for 8 GB, and 16 GB for big saves or more than 4 players. The CPU should reach a single-thread score of at least 2000, such as an i5-3570 or a Ryzen 5 3600. ### How do I claim the server? Add it in the Server Manager in the game, then name it and set the admin password. Until it is claimed, nobody can start a game on it. ### I forgot the admin password. What now? Delete the ServerSettings file named after the port, such as ServerSettings.7777.sav, and claim the server again. This also resets the server name, the player password, auto-load and the certificate. ### How do I upload my save? In the Server Manager, open Manage Saves and upload the save file. ### Can I use mods? Mods are not officially supported yet, but the community’s Satisfactory Mod Manager installs them on dedicated servers. Players need the same mods, and big updates such as 1.2 break mods until they are updated. ### Why does the game warn about a certificate? The server uses a self-signed certificate, so the warning on your first connection is normal. ### Can the factory run while we are offline? Yes, when you turn off the auto-pause option in the Server Manager. The server then keeps the game running with no players connected. ## Ready to grow your factory together?
