Fix Satisfactory Dedicated Server Not Connecting
can't connectserver won't claimofflineSatisfactory dedicated servers connect by IP (there's no public browser) and must be claimed on first connect. Here's how to get in and set it up.
Open the port
Satisfactory now uses a single UDP/TCP port for the dedicated server. Open/forward:
7777/udp + 7777/tcp game (default)Add the server by IP
There's no server browser — you add it manually. In-game: Server Manager → Add Server, then enter server-ip:7777.
Claim the server
On first connect the server is unclaimed. Set an admin password to claim it, name it, then either create a new session or load a save. Until it's claimed, no one can play.
Dedicated servers show an "insecure"/certificate notice because they use a self-signed cert by default. It's expected — accept it and continue.
Open 7777 (udp+tcp), add the server by IP in Server Manager, set an admin password to claim it, then load a session.
