Abiotic Factor Server Manager for Windows
SupportedWindows · Cross-play
Abiotic Factor combines a persistent facility world with platform-specific connection choices. Gone Wrong Servers installs the dedicated server, applies the right launch mode, and keeps its settings and save folders together.
Existing facilities can be imported from this PC or a hosting-provider backup. The app maps the native settings and world files, then asks you to review fresh local credentials before the first start.

Edition and cross-play
Omitting -PlatformLimited enables the current all-platform crossplay path; explicit PC, Playstation, and Xbox values intentionally split discovery groups.
Mods and extensions
The reviewed developer server wiki documents sandbox customization but does not establish a first-party Workshop-style dedicated-server mod deployment workflow.
Administration
Use -AdminPassword, Admin.ini, and the in-game Player Management interface; the reviewed official wiki does not document RCON.

A copied Steam world exists on disk, but the dedicated server loads an empty Cascade or generates another world with no expected bases, inventories, or progression.
Abiotic Factor Migrated World Starts Fresh
Reconnect a Steam local Abiotic Factor world when the dedicated server creates a new Cascade after migration.
