Upload an existing Satisfactory factory

Two ways to move a Satisfactory save onto your server: the easy in-game upload, and the panel for when that keeps failing.

Updated 11 October 2026

There are two ways to do this, and the in-game one is far easier. Only use the panel if the upload keeps failing.

The easy way

In Server Manager, select your server, open the Save Games tab and click Upload Save. Pick your .sav and the game does the rest.

Through the panel

Stop the server.
Find your save on your PC in %localappdata%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames.
In Files, go to FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server/ and upload the .sav.
Start the server, then load the save from Server Manager in-game.
