Your factory, online for the whole crew. Already claimed, already saved.

Memory grows with the factory, not the players. In our tests Satisfactory 1.2 used about 2.7 GB with a new game and 4.1 GB with a Tier 8 factory 149 hours in, still at a full 30 ticks a second. Squad (8 GB): a new factory up to Tier 4 with a few friends. Party (12 GB): Tiers 5 to 7, oil, trains or a bigger group. Clan (16 GB): Tiers 8 and 9, drones and megafactories, or mods. Move up a plan when your factory grows, without losing anything.

No. Satisfactory on PS5 and Xbox can’t join dedicated servers, on any host. Steam and Epic players do play together on your server.

No. A new Satisfactory server waits for someone to claim it, and the first person who connects could take it. Yours is claimed the moment it starts, with an admin password only you see in your panel, and a new game is already running in Grass Fields. Sign in with that password in the game’s Server Manager to start a different game or load a save.

Satisfactory itself doesn’t: stopping it loses what happened since the last autosave. Ours saves your factory, and waits for the game to confirm it, before every stop, restart and update. It keeps 10 rotating autosaves (the game keeps 3) and copies your saves before a new game version, an Experimental switch or a mod change.

Paste a mod’s ficsit.app link or its reference in your panel, or a profile exported from Satisfactory Mod Manager. On the next start the server installs it, with the Satisfactory Mod Loader and every mod it needs, for the Linux server and your game version, and keeps those versions until your list or the game version changes, or you look for updates. Each mod shows its author and links to its page. Your friends install the same mods with Satisfactory Mod Manager.

Steam and Epic update your friends’ games on their own, so the server updates when it restarts, and your panel tells you when a new version is out, with a button to update as soon as nobody is on. Your saves are copied first. If a mod isn’t ready for the new version, the server tells you which one instead of starting without it.

Yes: pick Experimental in Settings. Your friends need it too (on Steam: Properties, Betas). A save opened in Experimental won’t load in Stable until Stable reaches that version, so the server copies your saves before switching either way.

Big factories run smoother after a restart, so your server restarts by itself: once it has run 6 hours, as soon as nobody is on, and after 24 hours at the latest. The server saves first. Satisfactory can’t message players from the server, which is why it waits for an empty server.

Satisfactory has no kick or ban on dedicated servers. Change the join password in your panel and share the new one only with the people you want; anyone without it can’t join.

Yes. Upload your save in the game’s Server Manager (Manage Saves), or move for free: open a support ticket with your .sav file, from %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames on your PC, or your old host’s login details, which we delete as soon as the move is done. We load it on your server and tell you when it is ready.

Usually a different game version: Stable against Experimental, or an update one side doesn’t have yet. A missing mod does the same. The server isn’t in a public list: add it in Server Manager with the IP and port from your panel. Both ports it needs are already open.

Yes, for free. Every server has three backup slots with your saves, blueprints, settings and mod list (the game and mods install again, so backups stay small). Take one before a big change, or schedule one every night. Restore, download or lock any backup in one click.
