Preparation
SteamCMD is required to set up a Satisfactory server. SteamCMD is the command-line version of the Steam client. This tool lets you quickly and easily download Dedicated Server applications for popular Steam games. You can find SteamCMD on the official Valve Developer Community page: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD.
Next, download SteamCMD. The download contains the steamcmd.zip file, which you must extract first. We recommend creating a separate folder to extract the file into. When you're done, you should see steamcmd.exe. Run it and wait for the installation process to finish.
Once the message Loading Steam API.... OK appears, the process has completed successfully and you can start installing the Satisfactory server.
Installation
After installation, you should be able to run commands in the Steam command line (steamcmd.exe). You’ll need to log in there using the anonymous user. Run the following command: login anonymous
The next step is installation. Run the command app_update 1690800 to install the server. App ID 1690800 refers to the Satisfactory Dedicated Server application.
Info
To avoid errors, don’t interrupt the process before it has finished. It may take a moment, but patience pays off! :)
Go to the directory where you installed the server, then open the following subfolder: ../steamapps/common/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer
There, you’ll need to create the startup file required to run the server software. Create a file named: server-start.bat
Info
Make sure the “Show file name extensions” option is enabled so the file has the correct extension.
Open the file, add the following content, and save your changes:
Code
Factoryserver.exe -log -unattended
Run the file. The first time you start it, a popup may appear informing you that certain components are required to run the program. The game requires the Visual C++ Runtime. Click Yes and complete the installation.
To make the server visible and accessible from outside your network, you must allow or forward the ports used by the server in the firewall. To do this, open the Windows Firewall settings.
You need to add additional rules in the settings. As shown below, click the inbound and outbound rules and add rules for the UDP protocol and port 15000.
Configuration
The setup is now complete. You can make additional configuration changes in ServerSettings.ini. For example, you can change the server name, server password, and other options. To do this, go to the following directory:
Once setup is complete, you can start the server by running the server-start.bat file you created earlier. This opens the server console and starts the server. If everything works as expected, the server should appear in the server list after it starts successfully.
