# Satisfactory Server – What Hardware Do I Need?

What hardware does your Satisfactory need? CPU, RAM and storage recommendations for stable performance with NexoraHost.

**Quick answer:** This guide walks you through the topic step by step with practical examples and configuration tips.

This overview helps you choose the right hardware for your Satisfactory server – depending on player count, factory size and whether you use mods.

## Without Mods (Vanilla Satisfactory)

Vanilla refers to a pure Satisfactory server without additional mods – only the content provided by the game. The values are guidelines for normal gameplay.

    
        Players
        RAM
        CPU
    

    
        1–4
        8–12 GB
        4 cores at 3.4 GHz+
    

    
        4–8
        12–16 GB
        4–6 cores at 3.8 GHz+
    

    
        8–16
        16–24 GB
        6 cores at 4.0 GHz+
    

    
        16+
        24 GB+
        6–8 cores at 4.5 GHz+
    

**Important:** Satisfactory primarily runs on a single thread. A CPU with high clock speed (3.4 GHz+) is more important than many cores. A modern i5 at 4.5 GHz beats an old 16-core Xeon.

## With Mods

Mods like Refined Power, Farming Mod or larger blueprint collections noticeably increase resource consumption. Plan an extra 2–4 GB RAM.

        10–16 GB
        4 cores at 3.8 GHz+
    

    
        4–8
        16–24 GB
        4–6 cores at 4.0 GHz+
    

    
        8–16
        24–32 GB
        6–8 cores at 4.5 GHz+
    

    
        16+
        32 GB+
        8 cores at 4.8 GHz+
    

## RAM requirements by playstyle

    
        Playstyle
        RAM
        CPU
    

    
        Casual 2-4 players
        8–12 GB
        Standard
    

    
        Large factories (4 players)
        16 GB
        Strong single-core performance
    

    
        More than 4 players
        16 GB+
        High-end CPU
    

## Storage

    - **Vanilla:** 25–40 GB
- **With mods:** 30–50 GB
- **In general:** NVMe SSD is mandatory – HDD causes noticeable stuttering during autosave

## Network

    - Plan about 1–2 Mbps upload per player
- From 4 players, at least 10 Mbps upload recommended
- Ports UDP 7777, 15777 and 15000 must be open

## Summary: How to choose the right hardware

    - **Estimate player count:** How many people do you expect simultaneously?
- **Consider factory size:** Large factories need more RAM than small ones
- **Mods yes/no:** With mods, choose one tier higher than your player count suggests
- **CPU:** High single-core performance (3.4 GHz+) > many cores
- **RAM:** 8 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended for most servers
- **Storage:** NVMe SSD, no HDD
