SatisfactoryThe Network Quality setting balances network performance against server framerate. Higher network quality may improve client load times and network responsiveness, but can reduce server performance.
Configuring Network Quality
- Launch Satisfactory and open the Server Manager from the main menu.
- Select your server and click the Server Settings tab.
- Locate the Network Quality setting and set the value as needed.
- Click Apply to save.
Understanding Network Quality
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Lower | Better server framerate, slower client sync |
| Higher | Better network responsiveness, potential server FPS drop |
When to Adjust
Increase Network Quality When:
- Players experience long load times joining
- Network synchronization feels slow
- Server resources are not fully utilized
Decrease Network Quality When:
- Server framerate is suffering
- You have a large factory with many machines
- Many players are connected simultaneously
The optimal setting depends on your specific factory size, player count, and server resources. Experiment to find the best balance for your setup.
Monitoring Performance
Watch for these signs to determine if adjustment is needed:
| Issue | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| Slow client loading | Increase network quality |
| Server lag/stuttering | Decrease network quality |
| Desync between players | Increase network quality |
Network Quality is configured. Monitor your server's performance and adjust as needed for the best experience.
