Satisfactory Server Settings Explained

Most of a Satisfactory server's settings are not in a file you edit: they are changed from inside the game, in the Server Manager, by whoever holds the admin password. On Flux the dashboard can change most of them too. Here is which is where.

In the game: the Server Manager

Open the Server Manager from the main menu, select your server and log in with the admin password. Its settings include:

  • Autosave interval: how often the server saves the session.
  • Auto-pause: whether the game pauses while nobody is connected.
  • Network quality: the server's network quality level.
  • Player password: a password players need to join. Leave it empty for an open server.
  • Admin password: the password that unlocks these settings.

The same screen manages sessions: start a new game, load a save, or upload a save from your own computer.

On Flux: the dashboard

Uploading a save

  1. On Flux, open the dashboard's Saves tab and choose Upload .sav, or connect to the server in the in-game Server Manager, log in as admin and upload it there.
  2. Find it under its world in the list.
  3. Load it as the running session.

The server keeps its own rotating autosaves, and the image backs your saves up each time the server starts. The Saves tab lists every save with its date and play time, and can load, download or delete any of them.

Admin actions from the dashboard

The Admin tab talks to the server through the game's own HTTPS API, logged in with the admin password: save the game now, restart the server, run console commands, and change the server options it reports (autosave interval, auto-pause, network quality and more), without starting the game.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I change Satisfactory server settings?

In the in-game Server Manager, logged in with the admin password: autosave interval, auto-pause, network quality and the player password. On Flux the dashboard's Admin tab changes the same options.

What is the player limit on a Satisfactory server on Flux?

128 on every plan: no player cap from us. The plans are sized for about 4, 8 and 16 players, which is what their hardware carries comfortably.

Where is my Satisfactory admin password?

On Flux it is set when you claim the server with one click on the Overview tab after the first start, and shown there with reveal and copy.

How do I put a password on my Satisfactory server?

Set a player password in the Server Manager's settings. Players then enter it when they connect.
