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.

Setting
MaxClientRate
Default
120000
Range / options
10000 – 1000000
Rotating autosaves

How many automatic saves are kept before the oldest is overwritten. More saves means more restore points and more disk usage.

Setting
mNumRotatingAutosaves
Default
3
Range / options
1 – 20
Egg name (no in-game effect)

The Satisfactory startup command does not use this egg variable. It changes neither the in-game server name nor the world name. Set the in-game server name during initial setup in Live Status, or later in the Satisfactory Server Manager.

Setting
SERVER_NAME
Default
My Satisfactory Server
