How to Set a Password on Your Satisfactory Server

You can protect your server with a password so that only players with the password can join. The password is configured in the Game.ini file.

  1. Stop the server
    Stop your server via the dashboard.

  2. Connect via SFTP
    Connect to your server via SFTP.

  3. Open Game.ini
    Open the file Game.ini at:

    /FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
    /FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
  4. Set password
    Add the following content and set your desired password:

    ini
    [/Script/FactoryGame.FGServerSubsystem]
    mServerGameState=(ServerSessionName="Your Server Name",AdminPassword="YourAdminPassword",PlayerPassword="YourServerPassword")
    [/Script/FactoryGame.FGServerSubsystem]
    mServerGameState=(ServerSessionName="Your Server Name",AdminPassword="YourAdminPassword",PlayerPassword="YourServerPassword")
  5. Start the server
    Save the file and start your server.

Tip

To remove the password and make the server public again, remove the PlayerPassword value or set it to empty: PlayerPassword="".

Note

If the file already contains an mServerGameState entry, add the PlayerPassword value there. Do not add a second entry.
