What Is Project Fika and What Is the Project Fika Wiki For?

Updated

Project Fika is an SPT mod that enables co-op multiplayer in Escape from Tarkov, letting you and your friends progress through quests, share items, and fight AI-controlled PMCs, Scavs, and bosses together. The Project Fika Wiki (wiki.project-fika.com) is the official documentation hub for installing, configuring, and troubleshooting that mod. It is aimed at players running SPT who want to play with a small group of friends rather than on public servers.

What Project Fika Does

Fika adds cooperative play on top of SPT. According to the wiki, the core experience includes:

  • Shared progression — complete quests together
  • Item sharing — pass gear and loot between players
  • Co-op combat — fight AI PMCs, Scavs, and bosses as a group
  • More features beyond the basics, covered in the wiki's guides

The wiki is explicit that Fika is meant for co-op with friends. It is not designed for large public servers, and the license prohibits hosting massive public servers or monetizing a server through payments or donations.

What the Wiki Covers

The home page organizes its content into a few clear entry points:

Section What it's for
Get Started Installation instructions for Fika
How does Fika work? Explanation of the mod's mechanics
FAQ and Guides Common questions and walkthroughs
Configure Fika Settings and setup options
Set up headless client Running a dedicated host setup
Connect using NAT Punching Connection method for players
Fika Web App Companion web tool
Contribute to Fika How to help with the project

The wiki also notes that a complete documentation index is available via llms.txt, and pages can be read as Markdown — useful if you prefer plain-text docs or want to feed them to a tool.

Who Should Use It

The wiki is for you if:

  • You already run SPT and want to play Escape from Tarkov co-op with a small group of friends.
  • You need step-by-step installation or configuration help.
  • You're setting up a headless client so one machine hosts the session.
  • You're troubleshooting a connection, possibly using NAT punching.

It is not a general Tarkov resource, and it is not a place to find public multiplayer servers — the project's license and intent both rule that out.

Support and Licensing Notes

Two practical points before you dive in:

  1. Support goes through the Fika Discord, not SPT. The wiki states directly: "Do NOT contact SPT for any questions related to Fika." The Discord covers both SPT and Fika support.
  2. License: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. You may share or create derivatives of Fika with proper credit, but not for commercial use. You may not monetize your server via payments or donations, host massive public servers, or reuse Fika's handcrafted art assets without the creator's permission.

If you're ready to install, start with the wiki's Get Started page; if you're still deciding whether Fika fits your setup, the How does Fika work? and FAQ pages are the right next reads.
