SatisfactoryThe Max Players setting controls how many players can connect to your Satisfactory server simultaneously. The default is 4 players, but you can increase this for larger groups.
Higher player counts increase server resource usage. Large factories with many players may experience performance issues. Monitor your server's resource usage and consider upgrading your plan if needed.
Changing Max Players
- Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and Stop your server.
- Click the Settings tab and select Satisfactory Server Settings.
- Locate the Max Players field and enter your desired player count.
- Click Save and Start your server.
Player Count Recommendations
| Players | Use Case |
|---|---|
| 2-4 | Small friend groups (default) |
| 4-8 | Medium groups, casual play |
| 8-16 | Large community servers |
| 16+ | Very large projects |
Performance Considerations
Satisfactory's performance depends on:
- Player count: More players = more network traffic
- Factory complexity: Large factories with many machines impact performance
- Vehicles: Active vehicles add to the simulation load
The theoretical maximum is 127 players, but practical limits depend on your server resources and factory size.
Max players is configured. Your server will now accept the specified number of simultaneous connections.
