Satisfactory Advanced Game Settings on a Dedicated Server

 

    Satisfactory's Advanced Game Settings (AGS) are the "sandbox" toggles — no build cost, unlimited power, god mode, flight mode, give items, and more. They're great for creative builds and testing. On a dedicated server they're controlled in-game, and there's one important trade-off to understand before you flip them on. This guide explains it.

 

What Advanced Game Settings are

 

    AGS are a set of cheat-style toggles, including:

 

• No power — machines run without electricity.
• No build cost — place anything for free.
• Unlimited resources / give items — spawn materials.
• Flight / no fall damage / god mode — move and survive freely.
• Set game phase / unlock tech — skip progression.
• Keep inventory, disable arachnid fear, and more.

 

The trade-off: AGS disables achievements

 

    Turning AGS on for a session permanently flags that save as an advanced-settings game, which disables Steam achievements for it. This is a one-way flag on that save — so if you care about achievements, keep a separate "legit" save and use AGS only on a sandbox/creative save.

 

How to enable them on a server

 

    Because AGS belongs to the session, not the panel, you set it in-game:

 

1. Connect to your server as an admin (you authenticated with the Admin Password).
2. Open the in-game menu → Advanced Game Settings (you'll see the achievements warning).
3. Toggle what you want; changes apply to the server session live.

 

    Only an admin can change AGS, so protect your Admin Password.

 

Using AGS wisely on a shared server

 

• Creative/building server? AGS on (no cost, flight) makes a great megabuild playground.
• Progression server? Leave AGS off so your group earns everything — and keeps achievements.
• Testing a layout? Spin up a separate save with AGS, then rebuild it "for real" on your main save.

 

    Because the flag is permanent per save, a good pattern is one sandbox save with AGS and your main save untouched — swap between them via Manage Saves / upload.

 

Additional Tips

 

• AGS disables achievements for that save — permanently. Decide before enabling.
• Admin only — AGS is gated behind the Admin Password.
• Keep two saves — a clean progression world and a creative AGS world.
• Back up first (see backup and restore) before experimenting.
• It's a session setting, not a panel one — there's nothing to change in gamever's Settings tab for this.

 

Conclusion

 

    Advanced Game Settings turn your Satisfactory server into a creative sandbox — no build cost, unlimited power, flight and more — all toggled in-game by an admin. Just remember the trade-off: enabling AGS permanently disables achievements on that save. Keep a separate sandbox save for AGS fun and your main progression world stays clean.
