Let's Add Mods to a Satisfactory Server
Download and Install the Satisfactory Mod Manager
Head to the official Ficsit website and grab the latest version of the Satisfactory Mod Manager. Install it on your computer to prepare for managing mods both locally and on your server.
Set Up Server Connection in the Mod Manager
Open the Mod Manager and navigate to the Manage Servers section. Set the connection type to SFTP to link directly to your Gravel Host server.
Retrieve your SFTP login details from your Gravel Host dashboard:
- Password: Your panel password
- Host: Your server address
- Port: Your server's designated port number
Enter these details, then click Establish Connection. Once connected, hit Validate to save the server in the Mod Manager.
Choose Your Server and Prepare to Install Mods
With the connection set, select your server from the Mod Manager's top-left menu. Make sure any mods downloaded for the server are also installed on your local game client to prevent compatibility issues when joining.
Browse and Download Mods
In the Mod Manager's Server tab, you'll find a list of available mods. Select one to install — for example, a popular building or automation mod — then click Download. The Mod Manager handles the installation for you.
Verify Mod Installation on the Server
Once the mod finishes downloading, confirm it uploaded correctly:
- Go to
FactoryGame→Modsin the Mod Manager's file section. - You should see the mod files listed, confirming the installation.
For smooth gameplay, install the same mod on your local game client. Open your personal profile in the Mod Manager and install the mod there as well.
Start Your Modded Server
With everything configured, start your server from the Mod Manager. If everything is set up correctly, the mods will load seamlessly and bring exciting new features to your Satisfactory gameplay.

What Can Mods Add to My Satisfactory Server?
Mods can completely transform your Satisfactory server, taking gameplay to new levels with enhanced features, streamlined mechanics, and expanded customization options. Players can access unique building tools, advanced automation processes, and powerful management capabilities that go beyond the base game. Mods can add efficiency improvements like better organization systems, improved resource management, or automated factory layouts that help save time and optimize production.
Mods also unlock creative possibilities by introducing new building blocks, custom structures, and decorative items that let you personalize your factories and landscapes. These options let you craft a one-of-a-kind world, making each server feel distinct and tailored to your vision. Some mods even allow environmental changes — adjusting biomes, weather, and terrain — making exploration feel fresh and exciting.
For those who enjoy a challenge, mods introduce new gameplay mechanics, advanced logistics, and complex puzzles that test problem-solving skills. With an ever-growing selection of mods, your Satisfactory server can evolve into an endless sandbox of innovation, creativity, and efficiency.
