Using the Satisfactory Server Manager to manage, backup, upload, and swap your save/world from the Satisfactory Client.

Satisfactory has a few very powerful save management utilities through the Server Manager.

Create

Games and Saves can be created using the Server Manager in the Satisfactory client. This allows you to not only have multiple “Worlds” or “Sessions” on a server, but also manage manual saving of the active Game/Session.

Create Game

You can create a new Game with it’s own Session Name, Starting Area, and Advanced Game Settings using the “Server Manager” → “Create Game”. You’ll need to do this with a new server before you can play.

Create Save

You can create new save states using the “Server Manager” → “Manage Saves” → “Create Save” tab.

  1. Select the Game you want to save from the list of “Sessions” on the left side.
  2. If you want to, you can fill out a name in the “New Save” field at the top of the existing saves on the right.
    • Otherwise the save will take the name of the “Session” and date/time in the following format:
      <day><month><year>_<hour><minute><second>
  3. Press the “Save” button in the bottom right.

Delete

You can delete Saves and Games using the Server Manager in the Satisfactory Client. While autosaves are deleted automatically, you can use this to manage the saves/games you want to keep.

Delete Game

You can delete an existing Game/Session using the “Server Manager” → “Manage Saves” tab under the “Load Save”, “Upload Save”, or “Download Save” sub-tabs. The right side of the pane has a list of the existing Games/Sessions and a “Delete Session” button on the bottom.

Just select the Game/Session you want to delete and press “Delete Session” at the bottom of the list.

Delete Save

You can delete a save using any of the tabs under the “Manage Saves” tab in the Server Manager by selecting the Game/Session on the left then the save you want to delete from the list that appears on the right. Every tab will have a “Delete” button in the bottom right of the “Saves” list which will delete the selected save.
