If you’re ready to take control of your own research facility and explore the strange anomalies of Abiotic Factor with friends, hosting your own server is the perfect way to do it. Customize your world, manage your experiments, and survive the chaos exactly how you want.
This guide explains how to host your own Abiotic Factor server and why Citadel Servers is the ideal partner to power your lab.
Step 1: Choose a Reliable Hosting Provider
Abiotic Factor’s mix of survival mechanics, crafting systems, and AI threats makes consistent performance crucial. A stable host ensures smooth gameplay even when your facility fills with chaos.
When picking your provider, focus on:
- Performance: Fast CPUs and NVMe SSDs are essential for handling AI behavior, physics, and multiplayer sessions.
- Network Quality: Look for low latency and high uptime so your experiments don’t lag behind.
- Ease of Management: A clean control panel helps you tweak settings and manage mods without diving into complex setup.
- Support Availability: 24/7 help ensures your lab can recover from any meltdown, technical or otherwise.
Citadel Servers offers all of this and more, built specifically to handle high-performance survival and co-op simulation games like Abiotic Factor.
Step 2: Order Your Hosting Plan
Once you’ve decided to host with Citadel Servers, getting started is simple:
1. Go to the Abiotic Factor hosting page.
2. Choose how many player slots you want.
3. Pick your server location closest to your player base for the best ping.
4. Select any extras, like process priority, premium support, etc.
5. Proceed to checkout — once payment is confirmed, your server deploys automatically.
You’ll receive an email with your control panel login details and connection info within minutes.
Step 3: Configure Your Server
After deployment, it’s time to personalize your world:

Step 4: Launch and Play
When your settings are ready, start your server from the panel and invite your friends.
Players can connect via the in-game server browser or by entering the server’s IP and port.
