How to join your Satisfactory server

You join a Satisfactory server from the Server Manager in the game’s main menu, not from Join Game. You need the address and port from the address card on Overview, like assembly.play.wilderack.com:30412.

Before you start

• Use the PC version. Steam and Epic players can join. PS5 and Xbox players can’t join dedicated servers at all.
• Match the server’s version. Your game and the server must run the same version. If you joined the Experimental branch in Steam or Epic, switch back to the normal one.
• Get the address card. Open the panel and look at Overview. Copy the address with the copy button so you don’t mistype it.

Your address and port

Your address card shows something like this:

assembly.play.wilderack.com:30412

The part before the colon is the address. The number after the colon is the port. The Server Manager asks for them in two separate boxes.

Use the port from your address card, not 7777. Each server gets its own port, and Satisfactory needs the same port inside and outside, so we set it up that way. The only time you’d use 7777 is with the Dedicated IP add-on.

Your server also uses a second port for game data. The game finds it on its own, so you never type it.

Join from PC (Steam or Epic)

1. Start Satisfactory and open Server Manager from the main menu.
2. Select Add Server.
3. In the address box, type assembly.play.wilderack.com. Leave out the colon and the port.
4. In the port box, type the port from your address card, like 30412.
5. Confirm. The server now sits in your list, so you only do steps 2 to 5 once.
6. The first time, the game may warn you about the server’s certificate. That’s expected for every Satisfactory server, so accept it. The common errors page explains why.
7. Sign in when the game asks:
   • Friends use the player password, if the server has one.
   • The owner uses the admin password to run the server.
8. On the server’s Status tab, select Join Game.

If the Status tab says there’s no game to join yet, an admin needs to create one or load a save. See Claim your Satisfactory server.

Steam and Epic players together

Players from both stores can join the same server. Nobody has to buy the game twice. Everyone only needs to be on the same game version.

PlayStation and Xbox

Console players can’t join a Satisfactory dedicated server, including yours. Coffee Stain’s patch notes say dedicated servers are PC only for now.

Server passwords

Satisfactory has two passwords, and they do different jobs:

The player password is off on a new server. To turn it on, set it in Settings in the panel. You can also do it in the game: open the server in the Server Manager, go to Server Settings, and use Change Password next to Player Password Protection.

Does it show in a server list?

Satisfactory has no public server list. Each player adds your server once in their own Server Manager, and it stays there. That’s why the How to join card on Overview is worth sharing with friends.

Joining a sleeping server

Your server naps when nobody’s playing. In the Server Manager it still shows its name. When you open it, sign in or press Join Game, it wakes, usually in a couple of seconds.

If it still looks offline after a few seconds, open the wake link play.wilderack.com/w/assembly and press the wake button. Then go back to the Server Manager and try again.

Can’t connect?

• The Server Manager shows your server as offline
• “Failed to connect to the Server API”
• “Encryption token missing”
• You can’t join after a game update
• Players get stuck loading or time out
