- Copy the IP address of the server, you will need it to connect to the server.

First-time server setup
- Satisfactory asks the first person who adds the server to be the admin so it’s important you’re the first one to connect to the server.
- Upon the server being added it’ll ask you to name it. Click confirm once done.
- Once you have given the server a name it’ll ask for you to give it an admin password. It is Critical that you choose a strong password as this is how you’ll authenticate as an admin user. Click confirm once you have typed a sufficient password.
