Satisfactory Server Settings Wizard

Configure your Satisfactory dedicated server with the guided sections below. The output block updates live — copy or download when ready. Most settings are managed through the in-game Server Manager in Satisfactory 1.0+; this tool generates the Engine.ini / Game.ini / GameUserSettings.ini fragments for settings that require file edits.

PRESETS

1 — Server Identity

ServerName

ServerPassword (leave blank for public)

AdminPassword

MaxPlayers — 4 (Satisfactory supports 1–4 by default)

AutoSaveInterval — 5 min

1 min60 min

2 — Gameplay

Auto-Pause When Empty — pause the game simulation when no players are connected (true) Auto-Restart on Crash — requires a system-level restart wrapper (e.g. systemd or a launch script) (disabled)

Target FPS (headless) — 30 (30 is typical for dedicated servers)

1030 (default)60

Allow Unlimited Gameplay Time — disable session time limits (if any are set) (false)

3 — Advanced Game Settings (AGS)

Important: AGS settings are applied when creating a new game session via the in-game Server Manager. Enabling AGS disables Steam achievements for that save. AGS cannot be disabled once enabled on a save file.

No Build Cost — construct and customize without spending resources (false) No Power Requirement — buildings operate without power connections (false) Disable Arachnid Creatures — prevents Stingers from spawning (arachnophobia mode) (false) No Unlock Cost — research and milestones cost no resources (false)

Starting Tier — Tier 1

Starting Resources

4 — Networking & Ports

Open these ports on your firewall/router: game port (UDP), beacon port (UDP), query port (UDP). The reliable port uses TCP.

GamePort

default 7777 UDP

BeaconPort

default 15000 UDP

QueryPort

default 15777 UDP

ReliablePort

default 8888 TCP

NetServerMaxTickRate — 30 (30 is the server default; higher = smoother but more CPU)

103060

How to apply these settings

Stop your Satisfactory dedicated server.
Place the Engine.ini block into FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini (or WindowsServer/ on Windows).
Place the Game.ini block into FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini.
Server name, passwords, and autosave are managed via the in-game Server Manager in Satisfactory 1.0+ (not ini files).
AGS options are applied when creating a new session through the Server Manager UI.
Restart the server.
