Abiotic Factor friend-server hosting — a private facility for your science team

You want a passworded Abiotic Factor world for a few mates. The facility stays up between sessions, so nobody has to be the host who keeps the game open. This page is not the same as the Abiotic Factor overview. It covers the small-crew setup.

The job: private, small, always on

  • Players: a crew of 2–6 friends. The game supports co-op for up to 6 players.
  • Settings: set a server password and tune world settings in the sandbox options before the first launch.
  • Persistence: back up the world save before major updates and before you install UE4SS mods.

Comparison: who sells Abiotic Factor for a friend crew

Each host’s Abiotic Factor URL was checked with a full live GET on 24 Oct 2026 (NZDT). Prices are set by each host, in USD, and we quote the recurring price, not the first-month sale. TBD = no clear dollar figure in the page we fetched. 404 = the product URL returned 404 / no Abiotic Factor SKU found.

Oceania notes

Co-op combat and physics feel better on a nearby node. Nodecraft lists Sydney and Melbourne. For Shockbyte and Bisect, confirm the node before you pay. See the Oceania ping guide.

Price honesty

We only list prices the host prints clearly. Nothing here is invented. For a 2–4 person crew, a small Nodecraft plan comes in under the budget under ~$20 line.
