How To Make An Abiotic Factor Server

Creating an Abiotic Factor server is the best way to enjoy cooperative survival in the GATE Cascade Research Facility with friends, unravel anomalous mysteries, and take full control of your emergent sci-fi survival experience. Instead of relying on peer-to-peer connections prone to instability, using a dedicated server or a trusted hosting provider like Sparked Host gives you instant deployment, zero lag, and powerful hardware to ensure smooth interdimensional chaos. Whether you want to launch a private facility with restricted access or open a public facility for the community, our panel makes configuration fast and easy.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to create and configure your own Abiotic Factor server, explore different hosting options, and help you choose the best setup for your co‑op survival goals.

Step 1: Decide What Abiotic Factor Hosting You Want

Managed Abiotic Factor Server Hosting

Perfect for players who want to avoid manual setup like port forwarding or SteamCMD installation. Features include instant setup, DDoS protection, automatic updates, and a user‑friendly panel to administer world settings, player limits, and backups.

Sparked Host provides optimized hardware, low ping, and support staff ready to help with config files and troubleshooting—ideal for hosting small‑scale co‑op labs or narrative‑driven survival facilities with minimal setup.

Abiotic Factor VPS Hosting

VPS hosting offers a balance between flexibility and performance. Your Abiotic Factor server operates in a virtual environment, giving you access to server files, configuration options, custom ports, and player control.

With a VPS, you have more control than managed hosting—including installation of SteamCMD, custom world seeds, scripts for auto‑updates, and resource scaling as your group grows. You still enjoy a stable hosting environment with extra freedom to tailor your server.

This is ideal for experienced users who want to personally manage server configuration or build a custom survival narrative with deeper control.

Abiotic Factor Dedicated Server Hosting

A dedicated server gives you the highest level of control and performance for your Abiotic Factor server. You’ll have complete access to files, ports, and hardware. From editing .ini or batch scripts to manage server launch parameters, to port forwarding and performance tuning, this method offers total customization.

This option is best suited for hosting long-running worlds with a highly active community. With complete control, you can fine‑tune every aspect to ensure optimal performance and narrative stability.

Which Option Is The Best?

Choosing the right Abiotic Factor hosting depends on your goals. If you want to get started quickly with minimal hassle, managed hosting provides instant setup, automatic updates, and an easy control panel. For more flexibility, VPS hosting allows deeper configuration while maintaining affordability and scalability. For long‑term survival experiences or active communities, dedicated server hosting delivers maximum performance, power, and full access.

Regardless of your choice, Sparked Host ensures your Abiotic Factor server runs smoothly with premium hardware, secure ports, and excellent support. Hosting your own server isn’t just about running a game; it's about creating a living survival story, connecting with players, and having complete control of your own lab‑escape world.

Step 3: Get Your Login Details

For Managed Abiotic Factor Server Hosting

You can retrieve your login details for your Apollo Panel account to manage the game server by looking for an email from us with the subject "Panel Account Details."

For Abiotic Factor VPS Hosting

You will not get an email with your VF Panel login details, just like the email for a Managed Abiotic Factor Server Hosting service. Therefore, to get the password for your VF Panel account, you will need to reset it first. You can do so by going to the VF Panel Lost Password page, and then you will be sent an email to reset your VF Panel Account password. The email address will be the same as the one used for your Client Area account.

For Abiotic Factor Dedicated Server Hosting

If you purchased a Rapid Deploy Dedicated Server, you can find your login details for your Dedicated Server Manager account to manage the dedicated server by looking for an email from us with the subject "Your Dedicated Server Information." The email will contain details such as the URL to the panel to manage your dedicated server, the server's IP Address, and other information.

If it isn't a Rapid Deploy Dedicated Server or a custom-built one, you will get the login details from the ticket made for the Dedicated Server.

Step 4: Setup Your Abiotic Factor Server

For Managed Abiotic Factor Server Hosting

1. You can log in to the Apollo Panel with the login details you received earlier or using your Client Area account with the "Login via Billing" button.

2. Once you've logged in, select your Abiotic Factor Server Hosting service on the Servers page.

3. After configuring all the necessary settings, click the Start button to launch the service and connect to the server using the IP Address and Port located above the Start and Stop buttons, once it's up and running.

For Abiotic Factor VPS Hosting and Abiotic Factor Dedicated Server Hosting

If you use a VPS or Dedicated Server Hosting service, you must manually set up the server to run as an Abiotic Factor Server. There are guides from sites like this issue from DFJacob's AbioticFactorDedicatedServer Repository, which you can follow to install the necessary Abiotic Factor server software to run an Abiotic Factor Server on your own server.

Optionally, for Dedicated Servers, you can include the "Apollo Panel Instance" addon in your service order, wherein we will install the Apollo Panel, our sleek, custom-built control panel for Sparked Host users that will allow you to effortlessly manage your server with powerful tools, an easy-to-use interface, and all the features you need to stay in control.
