Troubleshooting Your Satisfactory Server

Here are common Satisfactory server issues and how to fix them.

No EncryptionToken specified, disconnecting.

This message happens when you try and join the server from the Join Game menu. You must join your Satisfactory server from the Server Manager.

Tier 0 has been skipped

Currently, Tier 0 (Onboarding) is not possible to play on a dedicated server and it will be automatically unlocked, even if you upload a save in Tier 0. If you would like to play the beginning of the game with Onboarding, it is recommended you play local multiplayer first, and then upload your save to your server after completing Tier 0.

This seems intentional as the onboarding doesn’t really make sense for a dedicated server.

Server will restart in 60 minutes

Over time, servers can have stability issues and require a daily restart. Usually this is left to the server operators but Satisfactory have built this feature into the game. This happens at 00:00 UTC every day. If you’d like to change this setting simply open Satisfactory and in the main menu go to Server Manager > Server Settings and under Gameplay there will be a slider for Server Restart Interval.
