How to Become an Admin on an Abiotic Factor Server

Obtaining administrator rights on your Abiotic Factor server opens access to powerful tools for managing gameplay, moderation, and creating a unique experience for all players.

The process of obtaining administrator rights is quite simple. Follow these steps to gain access to the admin menu in the game.

Find your Steam64 ID

You will need your 17-digit Steam64 ID.

Find and open the Admin.ini file

Go to your server's file manager in the control panel under the "Server Files" section. You need to find the Admin.ini file. It is located at this path:

AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/

Add your SteamID to the file

Open the Admin.ini file. Find the [Moderators] section. Under this section you will see a line Moderator= and after the equals sign specify your Steam64 ID.

Example:

\[Moderators\]
Moderator=7656XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Save changes and start the server

Save the changes in the Admin.ini file and start the server.

Check access to the admin panel

Join your server and press the ESC key. If you did everything correctly, you should have access to the "Admin" menu. If the menu did not appear, make sure there is only one Admin.ini file and it contains the correct 17-digit Steam64 ID.
