Order Your Server

  1. Go to game-serverhosting.de
  2. Choose at least 6 GB RAM (Satisfactory is memory-intensive)
  3. Larger factories need 8–12 GB RAM — pick the plan accordingly
  4. The server is set up automatically and is ready within minutes

Initial Setup

Satisfactory uses a unique in-game setup process:

  1. Start the server and wait a moment for it to become reachable
  2. Launch Satisfactory → Main Menu → Server Manager
  3. Search for your server via IP and port (default: 7777)
  4. Set the admin password — required for all server configuration
  5. Start a new game or load an existing savegame

Installing Mods

Satisfactory mods folder in the file manager

To install mods on your server, use the Satisfactory Mod Manager (SMM):

  1. Download SMM from ficsit.app
  2. Select and activate mods in SMM for your server profile
  3. Upload the mods folder via SFTP or the panel file manager to the server
  4. Restart the server — all players must have the same mods installed

Managing the Server In-Game

Satisfactory includes built-in server management directly in-game:

  • Server name and password — change for access control
  • Savegames — switch between saves or trigger a manual save
  • Auto-save interval — configure (recommended: every 5 minutes)
  • Player slots and permissions management

Ports

Port Protocol Purpose
7777 UDP Game traffic (required)
15000 UDP Beacon service
15777 UDP Query (server browser)

All ports are opened automatically — no manual port-forwarding needed.

Performance

  • RAM grows with factory size: Small factories run on 6 GB, large mega-factories need 10–12 GB
  • CPU: Satisfactory is mostly single-threaded — high clock speed matters more than core count
  • Player count: Officially max. 4, up to 8 players possible in practice (with performance trade-offs)
  • Recommendation: Start with 8 GB and upgrade if needed

Uploading a Savegame

  1. Find your local savegame: %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\<SteamID>\
  2. Upload the .sav file via SFTP or the panel file manager to the server's savegame folder
  3. Select and load the savegame in the Server Manager (in-game)
  4. Tip: Back up the server savegame before uploading
