SCP: Secret Laboratory thrives on player interaction. More scientists to rescue, more Class-D personnel causing problems, more guards trying to maintain order, and more SCPs hunting everyone down. Increasing the player limit can make rounds feel more dynamic and create opportunities for larger and more unpredictable encounters throughout the facility.

Note: Your server must be fully stopped before making changes to the player limit.

  1. Open your Dashboard.

  2. Locate your SCP: Secret Laboratory server and click Panel.

  3. Click Game Settings from the left-hand toolbar.

Conclusion

Your SCP: Secret Laboratory server is now ready to host more players. A larger player count means more rivalries, more alliances, more unexpected betrayals, and a lot more stories coming out of each round. Just remember that the more people you let into the facility, the harder it becomes to predict what is going to happen next.
