How to Set Up Automatic Restarts for Your Satisfactory Server

Updated June 10, 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Automatic restarts help keep your Satisfactory server stable and up to date. You can configure a schedule using the Scheduled Tasks feature in the game panel.

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Click the Scheduled Tasks icon on the left-hand side.
  3. Click New at the top of the section and choose Scheduled Start/Stop/Restart, then click New directly below that section.
  4. Give the task a name so you can identify it quickly, and make sure the Enabled checkbox is checked.
  5. For the type, choose Daily if you want the restart to occur at the same time each day.
  6. Set the start date and time. This is the time the task will run every day. To align this with your local time zone, see the article on adjusting your game panel time zone.
  7. To repeat the restart multiple times per day, such as every 6 hours, expand Advance Options and check Repeat Task, then configure the repeat interval.

  8. Click Save.

Additional options such as action type and waiting until the server is empty before restarting are available in the Advance Options section. You can also edit server settings to adjust the auto-save interval so progress is preserved before each restart.
