Security Tips for a Public Satisfactory Server

1. Using Admin Privallages Correctly

To run a Satisfactory server safely, you must use your admin privileges carefully. Never share the server password with others, especially for administrative accounts, to prevent unauthorized access.

Proper use of admin tools ensures that items are not spawned improperly and helps maintain fair gameplay for all players. Always monitor who has access and use administrative powers responsibly to keep the server secure and enjoyable.

2. Understanding the Server’s Options and Settings

Understanding the server’s settings and options plays a key role in hosting and running a public server. These settings allow you to manage how the game saves progress, how it starts up, and how players can interact with the game. Proper configuration ensures a smooth, fair, and enjoyable experience for everyone on the server.

Here is a break down of the options :

Server Name	The name of your server that players see when browsing or connecting.
Admin Password	The password required to gain administrative privileges on the server. We recommend setting this to a secure password.
Player Password Protection	A password that players must enter to join the server. Setting this prevents unknown players or players without the password from joining.
Auto-Load Session Name	Automatically loads a specific saved game session when the server starts.
Auto Pause	Pauses the game automatically when no players are connected. Stops the server from running in the background stops all production within the server.
Auto-Save on Player Disconnect	Saves the game progress whenever a player leaves the server. We recommend having this on since it allows the game to be saved between logging off and online.

Disable Seasonal Events	Turns off special in-game seasonal events such as FICSMAS.
Autosave Interval (Minutes)	Sets how often the server automatically saves the game. We recommend anywhere from 5 – 15 for optimal gameplay.
Server Restart Schedule	Configures when the server automatically restarts. We recommend setting this to the dead hour 03:00 (3am).
Send Gameplay Data	Allows the server to send gameplay information for analytics or diagnostics.
Network Quality	Adjusts network performance settings to improve connectivity and reduce lag. We recommend setting this to Ultra for best performance.

3. Setting a Secure Admin Password

A strong admin password is essential for keeping your server secure. It prevents unauthorized users from gaining administrative access, which could lead to item spawning, rule violations, or other disruptions. Always choose a complex, unique password and never share it with untrusted players.

A strong admin password is essential to protect your server from unauthorized access. Use 12+ characters combining uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid common words, predictable sequences, or personal information. Consider using a random phrase or mix of unrelated words to make it memorable yet secure. Keep it private and update it if access changes.

Don’t worry if you forget your admin password. If you have access to the server ‘Panel‘, you can reset it at any time without affecting your server or progress.

4. Setting Rules and Terms of Play

Establishing clear rules and terms of play helps keep your server safe, fair, and enjoyable for all players. Clearly communicate what behavior is allowed and what is not, and enforce these rules consistently.

Recommended Rules:

1. Respect other players – Harassment, griefing, or offensive behavior is prohibited.
2. Follow server guidelines – All players must adhere to gameplay limits, building rules, and any special server settings.
