Join the Factory

It's a modded server, but barely. You need the mod loader (SML) and nothing else — no fiddling, no version-matching, no studying. Five minutes, tops.
  1. 1

    Install Satisfactory Mod Manager

    Grab SMM from ficsit.app. It finds your game install automatically.

  2. 2

    Import this profile

    Download the profile below and import it in SMM (Profile → Import). It's just SML — the one thing the server needs. Activate it before you play here.

    ⬇ Download server profile
  3. 3

    Launch and connect

    Start Satisfactory, open Server Manager, and add:

    factory.purplehax.com:7777

Why a separate profile?

SMM loads every mod in your active profile at once. If you mod other saves, joining with those active would get you bounced. This profile keeps it to SML only, so it never touches your other games — switch to it for the server, switch back after.

Heads up

  • You do not need the dashboard mod (FRM) — that runs on the server.
  • If your AV/ISP suite blocks the connection, allow the Satisfactory client through it.
  • First connect will ask you to trust the server's certificate — that's expected.
