Abiotic Factor server not showing up or unable to connect

Find the server by the Server Name shown in Startup and enter its Server Password. The game connection and Steam query allocation have different jobs: a query reply only shows that the browser can see the server, not that the game has finished loading the facility.

If joining fails

The first useful error is usually in AbioticFactor/Saved/Logs/AbioticFactor.log. Check whether the facility finishes loading before retrying. A password rejection needs a password check; an immediate disconnect after an update needs matching game builds.

  1. Open Console and wait for the game or world to finish loading. Save the first error if startup stops.
  2. Use the joining method above with one client on the matching game version and required content.
  3. If entry is rejected, compare the exact error with the password, edition, map or authentication checks above. Keep the working save while testing.
