Configuring a Satisfactory server after setup involves several steps to ensure optimal performance and a great gaming experience. Here’s a guide to help you get started:

1. Access the Server Configuration Files #

After setting up your Satisfactory server, you’ll need to access the configuration files. These files are typically located in the server installation directory. Look for files like Game.ini and Engine.ini.

2. Basic Configuration #

Open the Game.ini file to configure basic server settings. Here are some key settings you might want to adjust:

• Server Name: Set a unique and descriptive name for your server.
• Server Password: If you want to restrict access, set a password for your server.
• Max Players: Define the maximum number of players allowed on your server.

Example:

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=10

[/Script/FactoryGame.FGServerSettings]
ServerName=MySatisfactoryServer
ServerPassword=YourPasswordHere

3. Advanced Configuration #

For more advanced settings, open the Engine.ini file. Here, you can configure various performance-related settings.

Example:

ini

[SystemSettings]
r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=2
r.DefaultFeature.MotionBlur=0
r.ViewDistanceScale=1.5

4. Save and Restart #

After making changes to the configuration files, save them and restart your server to apply the new settings.

5. Admin Commands #

To manage your server effectively, familiarize yourself with admin commands. You can use these commands to kick or ban players, change server settings on the fly, and more.

Example:

• Kick a player: AdminKickPlayer <PlayerName>
• Ban a player: AdminBanPlayer <PlayerName>

6. Regular Maintenance #

Regularly check for updates and patches for both the game and the server software. Keeping your server up-to-date ensures optimal performance and security.

7. Backup and Restore #

Regularly back up your server data to prevent data loss. You can automate backups using scripts or server management tools.

8. Monitor Performance #

Use server monitoring tools to keep an eye on server performance. Look for any signs of lag or performance issues and address them promptly.

By following these steps, you can configure and maintain a Satisfactory server that provides a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience for all players. Let me know if you need any more help!
