How to Install Proximity Voice Chat on Your Server

Order a Satisfactory server with at least 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended). For multiplayer: per 3 players.

Frequently Asked Questions
Proximity Voice Chat not working after update β what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Proximity Voice Chat has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.
Proximity Voice Chat causing crashes in multiplayer β solution
Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use Proximity Voice Chat v1.0.3 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is Proximity Voice Chat compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Proximity Voice Chat uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
