Question 1

How does RAM usage scale as a Satisfactory factory grows?

Accepted Answer

Satisfactory server memory consumption scales with the number of active machines, conveyors, trains, and drone paths in the world - an early-game factory of a few hundred machines sits comfortably within 4 GB, while a Phase 4 or 5 factory with thousands of machines, multiple train networks, and full-map resource extraction commonly reaches 8–12 GB. The server must track the position and state of every active machine and item in transit, so memory pressure grows non-linearly as factory complexity increases. Our servers support flexible RAM allocation, allowing you to upgrade your plan as your factory scales without migrating to new hardware. DDR5 RAM ensures that large saves load without memory errors that can corrupt world state.

Question 2

Does UK hosting make Satisfactory co-op feel better for British players?

Accepted Answer

Satisfactory uses a server-authoritative model for conveyor belt state, machine output, and player interactions - at high latency, co-op players see items flickering on belts or experience delayed confirmation when interacting with machines and vehicles. UK players connecting to EU-hosted servers typically experience 40–80ms additional round-trip time, which is noticeable during synchronised construction and vehicle convoy coordination. Glitch Servers routes through AS212868 with direct LINX and LONAP peering, keeping UK co-op partners under 10ms latency for seamless factory collaboration. At low latency, belt and drone animations stay synchronised between players, preserving the satisfying feedback loop of a well-optimised production line.

Question 3

Can I migrate an existing Satisfactory save file to a hosted server?

Accepted Answer

Yes - Satisfactory save files can be transferred directly to a hosted server via SFTP. The default save location on the server is within the server's data directory under SaveGames, and uploading your local save file there makes it available immediately on the next server startup. The game does not embed hardware-specific identifiers in save files, so saves created in local co-op or single-player mode work without modification on a dedicated server. After uploading, select the save from the server's session list in-game to resume from exactly where you left off. Our NVMe Gen4 storage handles large save files - which can reach several hundred megabytes for endgame factories - without the I/O delays that cause timeout errors on slower storage.
