One datacentre versus thousands of nodes
A traditional host concentrates risk by design: one facility, one network, one operator. When that facility has a bad day, every server in it has the same bad day. A decentralized network has no such centre. Its nodes are run by different people in different countries on different connections, so one of them failing is a local event rather than an outage.
A Satisfactory factory is a long project, built over weeks by several people who log in at different times. What they want from a server is that it is there, and running, whenever any of them comes back.
Dedicated resources, not a shared slice
Each plan reserves its CPU and memory for your server. Satisfactory's memory use grows with the factory, and the simulation leans on single-thread speed, so a plan whose resources are actually yours is what keeps the tick rate steady as the production lines multiply. The dashboard shows the tick rate the game reports, so you can see it.
You choose where it runs
The region is picked at deploy time from 50+ countries. Placing the server near the people playing on it is the most effective thing you can do for how it feels.
What stays completely normal
- A management panel: start, stop, restart, admin actions, files, a terminal and backups.
- The server joined like any other, through the in-game Server Manager.
- A conventional payment flow: card or USDC through Stripe, or FLUX through ZelCore or SSP.
- Support by ticket, answered by email.
- Your saves, which you can download at any time. Nothing is locked in.
Decentralized describes where the compute comes from, not how the product behaves. Deploying a Satisfactory server here is the same handful of clicks it is anywhere else.
The economics
Node operators compete to host workloads, and that keeps the price of dedicated resources down: Satisfactory plans here run from $4.99 a month for 8 GB to $11.49 a month for 16 GB, with DDoS protection included, no egress fees and no contract. We do not charge by the player slot, so the price does not climb when your team grows; every plan allows up to 128 players.
Frequently asked questions
What is decentralized game server hosting?
Hosting on a network of independently operated nodes rather than in one company's datacentre. Your Satisfactory server runs on one node with dedicated resources, and the network as a whole has no single point of failure.
Is a decentralized Satisfactory server slower?
No. Your server runs on one machine like it would with any host, and you choose its region from 50+ countries, so you can usually place it closer to your players than a host with a handful of datacentres can.
Can I move my Satisfactory save off Flux later?
Yes. The saves can be downloaded from the file manager at any time. There is no lock-in and no egress fee.
Does decentralized mean harder to use?
No. There is an ordinary dashboard with admin actions, files, a terminal and backups, and the server is provisioned in about 30 seconds.
