Configuration
This guide covers configuration for a Frags4u-managed Satisfactory dedicated server. It is written for the Frags4u managed environment, so the server identity, allocated resources and network values shown in the Panel take priority over defaults copied from a generic self-hosting guide.
Satisfactory operational notes • Configuration: Dedicated-server settings and Unreal configuration live under the server's persistent FactoryGame/Saved configuration/state areas; use the server manager/API or supported config paths appropriately. • Backups: Back up saves and persistent server configuration before game updates, mod changes or server migration. • Startup: The Linux dedicated server runs FactoryServer.sh with managed resources and Frags4u networking.
Recommended checks
- Take a recovery point before a broad settings change.
- Prefer Panel-managed settings wherever Frags4u exposes them.
- Change one logical group at a time so the result is attributable.
- If syntax is damaged, keep the ticket attached to the server; AI remediation is limited to approved bounded files and preserves a snapshot first.
When to stop changing things If the failure persists after one controlled test, avoid repeated restarts, broad file deletion or unrelated configuration changes. Preserve the newest evidence. A clean process start, a listening game endpoint and a successful client connection are separate signals; record which one is failing.
What to send Support Include the affected server, approximate failure time, exact error text, the last change made and whether the problem affects startup, connectivity, performance, updates or mods. Technical tickets remain bound to the selected game server so staff and AI Support can inspect the correct managed context rather than guessing.
Backups and recovery Before destructive maintenance, keep a verified recovery point. For Satisfactory, the persistent save/world and configuration areas described above should be treated separately from replaceable base-game assets. Do not use a wipe, reinstall or deletion of runtime files as a first troubleshooting step.
Frags4u AI Support safety boundary AI Support can only use approved typed support actions inside the customer's server boundary. It has no root, sudo, general shell, SSH or node-administration access. Any bounded repair requires customer consent, creates a protected snapshot first, remains limited by the existing remediation policy, and is followed by restart/post-repair verification where a restart is required.
