How To Add Admins In Abiotic Factor

Managing player permissions—including granting administrative privileges or banning players is essential for maintaining a healthy gaming environment. Abiotic Factor uses a file called Admin.ini to handle player permissions.

  1. Access the Game Host Bros Panel and Stop your Abiotic Factor server.
  2. In the sidebar click on Management > File Manager.
  3. Navigate to the AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/ folder.
  4. Here, find the file named Admin.ini.
  5. Add a new entry on its own line in SteamID64 format. It should look like this:
    Admin.ini
    [Moderators]
    Moderator=76561198106341655
  6. Restart your server.
  • DirectoryAbioticFactor
    • DirectorySaved
      • DirectorySaveGames
        • DirectoryServer
          • Admin.ini

After setting yourself as admin, here’s how to open the Abiotic Factor admin menu.

  1. Connect to your Abiotic Factor server.
  2. Press Esc to open the menu.
