How to host a dedicated server for Abiotic Factor

Abiotic Factor Dedicated Server, a dedicated server tool available from Steam, allows you to run your very own dedicated server for Abiotic Factor. Be aware that, in its current build, it only supports functionality for Windows, and the instructions in this guide will not work for other operating systems.

Server Installation

You will need to download and setup the Abiotic Factor Dedicated Server tool via Valve’s Steam server tool, SteamCMD.

Server Configuration

Open the folder where the server files are installed (this will be the same location as the SteamCMD installation by default), and follow the below instructions:

How to open the Required Ports

Locate the port forwarding or virtual server setup area of your router by logging into the router’s administration interface.

If it still doesn’t work, or you simply don’t feel like going through the trouble of following the steps above, you could always rent a server via:

All Third-Party Server Providers for Abiotic Factor

There are a number of third-party companies providing private Abiotic Factor servers for a monthly fee of between $5 USD and $10 USD. The most popular are:

Bisect Hosting Gportal Logic Servers Survival Servers

Simply navigate to any of the listed companies’ pages using a search engine, locate their section on Abiotic Factor, and click to order. You’ll be given options allowing you to customise the server location, the billing cycle, the power of the server hardware, and all of the in-game mechanics. I personally use Logic Servers for my server with friends and, despite some issues at the beginning around server name and password setup, their dedicated support team fixed it promptly and efficiently.

To justify their monthly fee, third-party servers have a number of benefits that you don’t get when hosting yourself. If you’re looking for more Abiotic Factor content, check out How to purify water and How to grow your own food right here at Pro Game Guides.
