Satisfactory 1.1 Power Surge | Cheap Satisfactory Server Hosting Tips
Update 1.1 brings bigger factories, the Power Surge rework, and new blueprint toys—great news for engineers, but brutal for underpowered servers. Here is how we keep Satisfactory server hosting stable when the patch lands.
What the Power Surge patch changes
- Power consumption spikes during reactor warmups jump by up to 30%.
- Blueprint streaming pushes more data when multiple engineers paste builds simultaneously.
- Fluid dynamics updates hit CPU-bound servers harder when refineries run at 100% clock speed.
If you are running cheap Satisfactory server hosting on shared hardware, those spikes become lag. Our approach is to over-provision before the update, then trim once metrics settle.
Dedicated server checklist
- Snapshot everything. Use the built-in backup tool plus an off-site copy (we ship both) before patching.
- Stage the update. Spin up a second world, apply Update 1.1, and benchmark train throughput before promoting it.
- Blueprint audit. Run the blueprint upload workflow so everyone is on the same revision.
- Power budget. Leave 20% headroom or configure our auto-scaling policy to add vCPU during surge windows.
- Alerting. Pipe Grafana webhooks into Discord so you know when consumption exceeds thresholds.
Recommended resources per engineer count
| Concurrent engineers | vCPU | RAM | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-4 | 4 dedicated | 8 GB | Great for blueprint testing worlds. |
| 5-10 | 6 dedicated | 12 GB | Add NVMe scratch space for faster autosaves. |
| 10-16 | 8 dedicated | 16 GB | Enable autosave staggering and packet prioritization. |
| 16+ | 10+ dedicated | 24 GB | Use region-paired servers and split factories per biome. |
