Satisfactory Server Performance Optimization

Optimize your Satisfactory server to handle large factories without lag. This guide covers server settings, factory design, and hardware optimization.

​
Server Settings

Edit GameUserSettings.ini: 
[/Script/FactoryGame.FGServerSubsystem]

​
Factory Optimization

Belt Design:
  • Use direct routing, avoid complex intersections
  • Minimize belt length and unnecessary splitters
  • Stack belts vertically to save space
Machine Layout:
  • Group similar machines together
  • Use local storage for intermediate products
  • Implement central power distribution
Building Tips:
  • Use minimal foundations and decorative elements
  • Avoid excessive lighting in automated areas
  • Remove unused structures regularly

Hardware Requirements

Factory SizeCPURAMStorage
Small (1-2 players)4 cores8GB20GB SSD
Medium (3-4 players)6 cores16GB40GB NVMe
Large factories8+ cores32GB60GB+ NVMe
Maintenance:
  • Restart server daily
  • Clean up old save files
  • Monitor memory usage
  • Use SSD storage

​
Performance Monitoring

Key Metrics:
  • Server FPS (target: 30+)
  • Memory usage (under 80%)
  • CPU utilization
  • Network latency (under 100ms)
Monitoring Tools:
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + L for performance overlay
  • Use stat fps console command
  • Monitor task manager for resource usage

​
Best Practices

Factory Design:
  • Use modular production areas
  • Implement power zones with switches
  • Plan belt routing before building
  • Minimize transport distances
Maintenance:
  • Restart server daily
  • Clean up save files weekly
  • Monitor performance metrics
  • Update software regularly

Frequently Asked Questions

Large factories with many machines, complex belts, and decorations strain resources. Reduce active machines and simplify designs.
Daily restarts help clear memory leaks and maintain performance, especially for large factories.
Use 8+ CPU cores, 32GB RAM, and NVMe SSD storage. Monitor usage and upgrade as needed.
Some mods impact performance, especially visual effects. Monitor performance when adding mods.
Reduce active machines, simplify belt routing, remove decorations, and implement factory zones with power switches.
