Satisfactory server hosting, by the day

Satisfactory saves grow with your factory, so late-game servers need more memory than early ones. Resize whenever you like, and the panel shows the price change before you confirm.

Hosting

How to host a Satisfactory server with Galeforce.

Four steps, and the first three are in the panel.

  1. Pick a size. For 4 players we'd size it at 10 GB. The table below has other group sizes, and the RAM calculator works out yours.
  2. Pick a pass. At 10 GB that's a day, a week or a month, paid up front. It renews until you cancel, or you pay once.
  3. Start it from the panel. The panel installs the server and starts it.
  4. Invite your friends. In Satisfactory, open Server Manager → Add Server, enter the address from your panel, then sign in with the admin password you chose.

Would you rather run it on your own PC? Our guide covers both ways: How to host a Satisfactory dedicated server.

Sizing

How much RAM a Satisfactory server needs.

8 GB for one or two players and 12 GB for a full group of eight; a late-game megabase can need the next size up. Our recommended size for each group is below. Try your own numbers.

Per server, paid up front. Each pass renews until you cancel, or you pay once.

Renewing or paid once. Bought with renewal, a week or month pass of 4 GB or more costs 10% less than the same pass paid once, on the first payment and every renewal, while renewal stays on. Stopping renewal is free and takes nothing back: the pass you've paid for runs to its end at the price you paid. Any pass paid for once is at the pay-once price.

What we measured: our test run booted Satisfactory to ready in 13 seconds at 8 GB and saw it hold 0.2 GB at idle, then stop cleanly. That was an empty world; the sizes above add room for your players.

Connecting

Ports and joining.

In Satisfactory, open Server Manager → Add Server, enter the address from your panel, then sign in with the admin password you chose.

Field notes

Worth knowing first.

  • You choose the admin password when you create the server. The platform claims the new server with it as soon as it starts, and you sign in to the in-game Server Manager with it. It is applied once, at the first start: to change the password later, use the Server Manager.
  • Your group joins from PC: Coffee Stain says dedicated servers are PC-only, even with crossplay.
  • Steam games check for a game update on every start, so the first start after a patch takes a few minutes longer.

New to Satisfactory?

The publisher's trailer, and the game on Steam. Both come from outside Galeforce, so nothing loads until you click: until then, YouTube and Steam see nothing of your visit.

Questions

Satisfactory server hosting, answered.

How much RAM does a Satisfactory server need?
For 4 players, we'd size a Satisfactory server at 10 GB. The smallest size we quote for it is 8 GB, which our estimate fits up to 2 players in. 8 GB for one or two players and 12 GB for a full group of eight; a late-game megabase can need the next size up.
How much does a Satisfactory server cost?
From £2.00 a day in the United Kingdom and $2.50 a day in the United States, at 8 GB, which our estimate fits up to 2 players in. A bigger server costs more, by its RAM. Prices are final: nothing is added at checkout. Every size and pass, country by country.
How do my friends join a Satisfactory server?
In Satisfactory, open Server Manager → Add Server, enter the address from your panel, then sign in with the admin password you chose.
Do I need to keep my PC on?
No. Your Satisfactory server runs on our machines, so it's there for your friends whether your PC is on or off. You start and stop it from the Galeforce panel, and a pass is time, not running hours: it runs out whether the server is on or off.
