# How to Change Max Players on Your Satisfactory Server (/docs/satisfactory/player-slots)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

In `FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini`:

```ini
[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=8
```

Default: **4 players**. Practical max: **8**. Higher is technically possible but degrades performance.

Performance Impact [#performance-impact]

Each additional player increases CPU and RAM load. Factory complexity is a bigger factor than player count — large factories with trains are the heaviest workload.
