Summary
Satisfactory servers are set up by initially claiming the server from the in-game menu. After claiming the server and naming the session, users must also set up an admin password to edit general server settings. Administrators have fewer privileges in Satisfactory than in other games, as few valuable commands exist. However, admins can still edit general session details, create new sessions, or view the server from the server manager.
