Abiotic Factor Server Hosting

Six by default, and the slot count is a panel setting that goes up to 24. The server password sits in the same place if the server is for your team only.

The game supports crossplay between Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the server leaves it switched on. A platform setting in the panel restricts the server to a single platform if you want that. Console owners become admin through the admin password, because the admin file only accepts Steam IDs.

Yes. Upload the world folder to AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Worlds over FTP and enter the folder name as the world save name in the panel. The server boots that world on the next start instead of creating a fresh Cascade.

Everything from enemy strength to hunger and item durability sits in SandboxSettings.ini. The server uses one file at a fixed path for every world, so you edit it in the panel file manager, restart, and the change applies.

The server checks for updates on every start, so after a patch you restart it once and it matches the new client version. Players on a newer build cannot join an older server, so restart before the evening session on patch days.

Plans start at 4 GB. Usage grows as the team opens up more of the facility and builds bigger bases, and you can scale in 2 GB steps up to 16 GB without touching the save.
