Satisfactory server settings live in two places. The FREAKHOSTING Game Panel’s Game settings page covers the settings stored in files and startup settings: Autosaves to keep, connection timeouts, internet speed, crash reports, automatic updates and Game branch. The server name, admin and player passwords, autosave interval, auto pause and network quality are set in the game’s Server Manager under Server Settings.

Server settings

​
Network settings

The two speed settings are standard Unreal Engine network settings that server owners use for Satisfactory. They are not listed on the official Satisfactory pages. See belt stutter and network quality.

​
Updates and reports

Switching branch needs the server to be updated or reinstalled, and a save from a newer branch cannot be loaded by an older one. See experimental branch.

​
What do the presets do?

A preset fills in several settings at once. Nothing is saved until you review and save.

​
Settings in the Server Manager

Open Satisfactory, go to Server Manager, select your server and open Server Settings. You need the admin password.

​
