Installing Mods on Dedicated Servers

If you’re seeing this message, that means this page is not complete yet! This warning will be removed once dedicated server support is actually complete. Expect mistakes and inaccuracies until then.

TODO write this page (it’s hidden from the sidebar for now)

Install the Vanilla Server

The first step is to obtain a copy of the vanilla dedicated server. The Satisfactory Official Wiki already has a detailed guide covering how to do this.

Import Profile from SMM

Suggest importing a profile you configured locally instead of browsing via the CLI since it helps ensure installed versions will match.

Configuring Mods on Servers

Configure the mod client side and copy the config files over to avoid making syntax mistakes when editing config files. Also, some mods could stop working correctly if client and server configs don’t match, so this is a good way to ensure they match.

Check the FAQ on where game files are located to see where config files are stored.

ficsit-cli allows FTP locations to be listed as installs (ex. ftp://user:password@host/path)

Note that when applying changes in ficsit-cli, changes will be applied to all installations it’s aware of in parallel (installations can be on separate profiles) (TODO find a better way to explain this)

Third Party Server Hosts

TODO Can we expect them to have ficsit CLI installed? Tell people to follow the server provider’s instructions for installing mods.
