Option #2: Creating a Abiotic Factor Server From Your Home Computer or Dedicated Server

Server Requirements

Windows 10/11, Server 2016/2019/2022 & 64-Bit

Quad Core processor (requires up to 2 full cores)

Up to 8GB memory (currently uses around 1GB memory)

4GB disk space (install folder)

Step 1: Fetching Game Server files

The best method to get dedicated server game files is via the dedicated server depot on Steam via SteamCMD.

  1. Create a folder where you wish to store your Abiotic Factor game server hosting files
  2. Inside of the folder, place the newly downloading SteamCMD.exe file
  3. Create a batch file named SteamCMD.bat
  4. Place the following code in this batch file:
@echo off
start "" steamcmd.exe +login USER PASS +force_install_dir "C:\Some\Path\Where\You\Want\Game\Server\Files\To\Go" +app_update 2857200 validate +quit
  1. Right-click SteamCMD.bat and Run as Administrator
  2. Your game server files should be completely downloaded by now

Step 2: Setting up a Abiotic Factor Dedicated Server

  1. Create a batch file named AbioticFactor.bat in your newly created Foundry server folder from step 1
  2. Place the following code in this batch file:
cd C:\path\to\abioticfactor\server\
IF EXIST "C:\path\to\abioticfactor\server\AbioticFactor\Binaries\Win64\AbioticFactorServer-Win64-Shipping.exe" start "" /MIN /NORMAL "C:\path\to\abioticfactor\server\AbioticFactor\Binaries\Win64\AbioticFactorServer-Win64-Shipping.exe" -log -newconsole -useperfthreads -NoAsyncLoadingThread -SteamServerName="RENT TODAY by SurvivalServers.com" -PORT=40450 -QueryPort=40451 -MaxServerPlayers=6
exit

Step 3: Configuring your Abiotic Factor Server

Now comes the fun part, setting up your Foundry game server to your liking.

Currently all config edits are done through the launch line.

Step 3: Port Forwarding

Add an incoming rule to your Windows Firewall to allow TCP/UDP port (game port) 15636, (Steam query port) 15637 (or whichever ports you decide to use)

You may additionally need to add a forwarding rule to your network router. You can use PortForward.com to read how to do this.
