Satisfactory: updates, settings and interface

Game updates, plugin versions and improvements to our interface with a traceable history.

Recorded, available and installed are different states. Your actual installation status and suitable updates are shown in the server panel.

Setting Change documented

Server configuration: settings revised

The guided interface was updated. The history shows added, changed and removed fields with explanations and editor defaults. The date records the documented change, not the historical deployment time.

What the settings do

These values come from our guided editors. Defaults are the editor starting values; they do not show the contents of a customer server.

Max players (MaxPlayers)

Server player limit (default 4). Higher values need noticeably more RAM/CPU — takes effect after a server restart.

Setting
MaxPlayers
Default
4
Range / options
1 – 16
Connection timeout (sec)

A established connection counts as lost after this many seconds without a reply. Increase it if players drop while loading large worlds.

Setting
ConnectionTimeout
Default
30
Range / options
5 – 600
Initial connect timeout (sec)

How long the server waits for a NEW connection to be established. Raise it together with the connection timeout if players never make it into the world at all.

Setting
InitialConnectTimeout
Default
30
Range / options
5 – 600
Network tick rate (Hz)

Upper limit for network ticks per second. The actual tick rate may be lower; Live Status shows the measured value. A higher limit does not guarantee a higher tick rate.

Setting
NetServerMaxTickRate
Default
30
Range / options
10 – 120
Bandwidth per player — Steam

Steam sockets data rate in bytes/sec. Satisfactory overwrites this file value on startup according to its network quality (tested default profile: 120,000). Change network quality in the Satisfactory Server Manager for a lasting effect.

120000
Range / options
