# How to Join Your Satisfactory Dedicated Server

Learn how to join your Nodecraft hosted Satisfactory Dedicated server!

With Satisfactory's Update 5, dedicated server support was introduced which allows players to host and join their own game servers. This guide will walk you through the process of joining your own Satisfactory dedicated server.

## Locate Your Hostname or IP Address

Before launching the game, you'll need either the hostname or IP address of your server. Both of these can be located on your game servers Nodecraft Pro Panel.

- The hostname is displayed at the top of your server panel, just below the instance name.
- The IP address can be found in the **Overview** tab of your server panel.

Make sure your game server is fully online. Once the server panel turns green and says Server Online, it will be joinable.

## Add Your Satisfactory Server to the Server List

Once you have the server's address, follow these steps to add it to your server list:

1. Launch Satisfactory and navigate to the Main Menu.
2. Click on **Server Manager** to open your server list.

3. At the bottom of the screen, click **Add Server**.
