How to Upload an Existing World to Your Satisfactory Server

You can put a world you played on your PC onto your Satisfactory server, either from inside the game or by uploading the save file in the control panel.

Find your save

• Session name: the name the game shows in the Load menu, for example "My world". It's stored inside the save file.
• Save file: the file itself, ending in .sav, for example myworld.sav.

On Windows, save files are in C:\Users\(YourUserName)\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\(Steam or Epic ID).

Option 1: Upload from the game

1. Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your Satisfactory server. Start it if it isn't running.
2. In Satisfactory, open Server Manager from the main menu and select your server. You need to be its admin (see How to connect to your Satisfactory Server).
3. Open the Manage Saves tab, upload your save from there, then select it and load it.

Option 2: Upload the file in the control panel

1. Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your Satisfactory server. Your server needs to have started at least once, so that its save folder exists.
2. Open the Files tab and go to SaveGames/server. Click Upload, or drag the .sav file onto the page. For large files you can use SFTP instead: see How to connect to your server's SFTP.

3. In Satisfactory, open Server Manager, select your server and open Manage Saves. Find your save under its session name and load it.

If the save comes from a game with mods, your server needs the same mods: see How to Install Mods on Your Satisfactory Game Server Using Satisfactory Mod Manager.

You're ready to join your server from Server Manager.
