Best Abiotic Factor Server Hosting UK (Nov 2026)

Abiotic Factor is built for up to six scientists, and the developers advise against going higher, so the best server is rarely the biggest one. It is the one that keeps the GATE facility online, backs up before every patch and lets you edit the sandbox. We compared 34 hosts that sell an Abiotic Factor server today on regular monthly price, UK locations, backups, refunds and control over settings.

Quick verdict: LOW.MS is our #1, with London, Ryzen 9 9950X hardware and cloud backups from £8.01/mo ($10.65). Indifferent Broccoli puts six players on uncapped RAM for £9.77/mo ($12.99) with a free trial, and Host Havoc gives you London and offsite backups from £6.02/mo ($8.00).

Methodology

How we compared Abiotic Factor server hosts

We compared each host’s live Abiotic Factor product on what keeps a co-op facility running: a plan sized for up to six players, a UK or nearby European location, backups before patches, access to sandbox and save files, refund terms and the regular price. Prices come from each host’s public plan page, converted at £1 = $1.33. Our full process is on how we compare.

Plan for six playersThe developers’ recommended maximum.

Reviews

The 34 best Abiotic Factor server hosts, reviewed

Each review covers the plan that suits an Abiotic Factor group, what it costs and the detail that decides whether it fits your facility.

1

LOW.MS

London, cloud backups, Ryzen 9 9950X

Price£8.01/mo ($10.65)
RAMSet by plan
SlotsSlot-based
LocationsLondon and Europe
BackupsCloud backups
Refund / trial5-day money-back

LOW.MS runs Abiotic Factor from London on Ryzen 9 9950X processors with DDR5 memory, and its plans are priced by player slots, so a six-scientist group pays for six people rather than guessing at a RAM tier. The live price for the smallest plan is £8.01/mo ($10.65).

Cloud backups are included, which matters on a game that is still patching after 1.0: take a snapshot before an update, and roll back if a mod or a new build breaks the facility. A five-day money-back guarantee covers the first week.

Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full LOW.MS review.

Pros
  • London
  • Ryzen 9 9950X and DDR5
  • Cloud backups
Cons
  • Slot pricing, not RAM tiers

BackupsFull file access
Refund / trial7-day refund

Indifferent Broccoli sells Abiotic Factor by head count rather than memory. One player costs £4.50/mo ($5.99) a month and a full six-player group £9.77/mo ($12.99), with RAM left uncapped under a fair-use policy, so a growing base in the Manufacturing sector never forces an upgrade.

A two-day free trial needs no card, you get full file access for SandboxSettings.ini, and there is a seven-day refund. The nearest locations are in mainland Europe rather than London.

Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full Indifferent Broccoli review.

Pros
  • Uncapped RAM
  • 2-day free trial
  • Six players for £9.77/mo
Cons

Refund / trialSee Host Havoc’s terms

Host Havoc’s Abiotic Factor server starts at £6.02/mo ($8.00) a month for four slots in London, with six, twelve and 24-slot plans above it. It points out that the developers do not recommend more than six players, which is a useful nudge away from paying for slots you will not fill.

Offsite backups, DDoS protection and 24/7 support are included, and it runs on hardware it owns. Its guides show exactly where the world and SandboxSettings.ini files live, which makes it a good choice for groups who like to edit files directly.

Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full Host Havoc review.

Pros
  • London
  • Offsite backups
  • Honest slot advice
Cons
  • Price climbs with slots

Its help centre has step-by-step guides for difficulty, world resets, server names and passwords in its own panel, so a group that would rather not touch config files can still change the sandbox. Pick the location at checkout.

Each server gets up to 100GB of NVMe storage and daily automatic backups, and memory can be raised to 32GB if your group adds heavy mods. For a six-player crew, the eight-slot plan is the natural fit.

Latest update

What the Modding Update changed for servers

Community Update #5, the Modding Update, arrived on 26 October 2026 with official mod support through mod.io, an Official Mod Editor and an in-game mod browser. Hotfix v1.5.0.31650 followed the next day. Official mods switch off automatically until their creators update them for a new game version, so expect a short gap after each patch.

Third-party PAK and UE4SS mods still work on many hosts, but the developers warn that they can cause crashes or save problems after updates and do not support them. Take a backup before every update; LOW.MS, Host Havoc, Kinetic Hosting and GTX Gaming all make that a one-click job. The Entropic Break story DLC is planned for Q4 2026, so this will not be the last big patch.

Server control

Sandbox settings matter more than a big RAM number

Abiotic Factor exposes a long list of sandbox options covering difficulty, enemy behaviour, loot respawn, power, hunger and structural support. On a dedicated server they live in a world-specific file:

AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Worlds/<WorldName>/SandboxSettings.ini

Kinetic Hosting publishes guides for changing difficulty, resetting worlds and setting passwords in its own panel. Host Havoc and AleForge document where the config and save files sit, which suits groups who prefer to edit files. Whatever you choose, make sure the host gives you file access when the panel does not cover a setting.

Plan sizing

How much RAM does an Abiotic Factor server need?

The game is designed for a small co-op group, and specialist hosts sell viable entry plans around 4GB. Extra headroom helps a persistent six-player world, but there is no reason to buy 16GB for a vanilla server:

GroupSensible startWhat matters most
1–2 players2–4GBPrice and basic backups
3–4 players4GBBackups, file access, auto updates
5–6 players4–8GBHeadroom, CPU speed, regular backups
Mods or experiments8GB+Backups first, then RAM and CPU

These are practical starting points rather than an official specification. The official dedicated server runs on Windows, and usage grows as your team opens more of the facility. Our hardware requirements guide explains how CPU and storage fit in.

Crossplay

PC, Xbox and PS5 crossplay on a hosted server

Crossplay arrived with Abiotic Factor 1.0, so Steam, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 players can share one world. Not every storefront presents that equally clearly: Nitrado states crossplay support for PC, Xbox and PS5 on its product, and Nodecraft turns crossplay on by default in its panel.

If everyone in your group plays on PC, you do not need to pay for console-focused convenience. LOW.MS, Host Havoc, Kinetic Hosting and GTX Gaming give better general value for a Steam-only group.

Self-hosting

Self-hosting vs renting an Abiotic Factor server

You can run the Abiotic Factor dedicated server yourself, but it is a Windows build, your PC has to stay on whenever anyone wants to play, and you need to forward the game and query ports.
