Satisfactory: your save decides the server size
Satisfactory depends mostly on factory progress, save state and persistent world stability.
1 min read
Satisfactory looks simple with few players, but the server follows a persistent factory that grows over time. Save state, builds and group activity matter as much as slot count.
The save becomes the reference
A new co-op game does not have the same profile as an older world with trains, drones, pipelines and large production lines. Save size and age should guide the plan.
Plan for updates
Before an update or major change, an identifiable backup prevents discovering too late that rollback is hard.
The right order frame
For a standard world, a plan that keeps memory headroom is enough. For a very advanced or modded factory, a startup test on your own save beats an estimate.
