How to Join Your Satisfactory Server

Satisfactory does not have a public server browser. You add your dedicated server once via the in-game Server Manager and connect from there afterwards.

Find connection details

You only enter one port in the game: the Game Port. Satisfactory does not have a separate query port – server queries run over the same port.

Add the server in the Server Manager

1. Start Satisfactory
   Launch the game and wait until the main menu has loaded.

2. Open the Server Manager
   Select Server Manager in the main menu. You now see the list of your saved servers – it is empty the first time.

3. Add the server
   Click Add Server at the bottom.

4. Enter address and port
   Enter the IP address of your server and set the port to the Game Port from your dashboard.

5. Confirm the entry
   Confirm the dialog with Confirm. The server is now queried and appears in your server list.

6. Join
   Select your server from the list and click Join Game in the bottom right.

Get admin rights on the server

To use more than the Status tab in the Server Manager – that is, to change settings, create worlds or manage save games – you have to log in as an administrator.

1. Switch tabs
   Select any tab other than Status in the Server Manager. The game reports that you are not authenticated.

2. Authenticate
   Click Authenticate.

3. Enter the admin password
   Enter the admin password of your server and confirm. You then have access to all tabs of the Server Manager.

Claim the server

If no name and no admin password have been set for your server yet, it counts as unclaimed. In that case the game guides you through two dialogs after adding it:

1. Set a server name
   First the game asks for a name for the server. This name is shown in your server list later on.

2. Set the admin password
   Then you define the admin password. Choose a secure password and only share it with people who should have admin rights.

After that you are the administrator of the server.

Server password

If a server password is set for your server, you will be asked for it when connecting. The server password only controls who is allowed on the server at all – it is not the same as the admin password. As an admin you find it in the Server Manager on the Server Settings tab under Player password protection.
