How to Change Max Players on Your Abiotic Factor Server

Changing Max Players

1. In the XGamingServer Panel, click Startup
2. Find the Max Players field (maps to -MaxServerPlayers)
3. Set your desired value (1–24)
4. Restart your server

Notes

• Default is 6 players
• The game supports up to 24 on dedicated servers
• Setting above 6 shows an "Extremely Modified Sandbox Setting" warning to joining players — this is cosmetic only and doesn't affect gameplay
• Higher player counts increase RAM and CPU usage

💡 Tip: Recommended 8–16 GB RAM for servers with 6+ players. Use an NVMe SSD for best performance.
