#

The server normally uses three ports: UDP/7777, UDP/15000 and UDP/15777.

#

However, it also comes with a built-in router, which takes packets from port 15777 and redistributes them over localhost to its own ports 7777 and 15000.

#

Since the thing can be bugged to hell, I strongly advise you not use it.

#

By disabling it, you revert back to 7777/15000/15777. However, you do not have port 7777 forwarded.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

so if I shut off the packet router I need to forward 7777

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

Yes.

#

Also, I don't know what that TCP/15000 is doing, because that's not Satisfactory.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

well then that explains it

#

that's the steam query port

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:31 PM

#

For what?

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:31 PM

#

which I'm not using so I'm pushing -port=15000

#

I'm using 7777 elsewhere

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:31 PM

#

So, you have a cursed config, is what you're saying.

#

The game uses all three ports.

#

And it's not a STEAM query port.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:32 PM

#

not if you tell it to use another port

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:32 PM

#

Easy assumption to make, but nevertheless wrong.

#

Again. The game uses three ports:

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:32 PM

#

like I said this update is cursed not the config

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:32 PM

#

game: UDP/7777
beacon: UDP/15000
query: UDP/15777

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:32 PM

#

we've been playing on this config for about 3 years

#

but I'll try your suggestion

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:32 PM

#

And it's been wrong for 3 years,

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:32 PM

#

lol

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:32 PM

#

but only recently you tried changing it, and it came to the surface.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:32 PM

#

asshole alert

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:33 PM

#

_<

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:33 PM

#

no I changed it cause the update broke it

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:33 PM

#

You go on believing that buddy.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:33 PM

#

you see they released this update, and after the update everything is broken

#

I got 5 other people that play on there

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:34 PM

#

Yes, and it was working, but in Packet Router mode, which only uses UDP/15777 externally.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:34 PM

#

yeah, so what you mean is they broke their packet router

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

No, I didn't say that. I did say that the damn thing is bugged to hell, and I advise you not use it. ;)

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

It'

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

Has always been.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

just recently, cause it's worked fine up until update 7

#

in windows it was trash

#

but after I switched to linux everything ran great until just a few days ago

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

fast ocean just recently, cause it's worked fine up until update 7

It really didn't. Get a problem related to the router 'bout twice a week or so, here.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:36 PM

#

but you just said you disabled it

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:36 PM

#

Yeah, but other people don't, and they come here for help?

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:36 PM

#

so did you disable it or do you have it enabled and are having problems twice a week?

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:36 PM

#

I'm not the one having problems.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:36 PM

#

oh I see

#

alright then thanks

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:37 PM

#

And again: the game does not use STEAM's query protocol.

#

It uses its own Beacon and Query protocols, so it needs all three ports.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:37 PM

#

I'M NOT USING STEAM PROTOCOL, I'M USING THE PORT

#

-port=15000

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:37 PM

#

But then you must remap port 15000 to something else.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:37 PM

#

cause I have another game running on 7777

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:37 PM

#

I get it.

#

But the game requires 3 ports.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:37 PM

#

I'll change the other game to a new port and try what you said

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

It can be 20001 20002 and 20003 for all it cares,

#

but it needs three.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

without the packet router you mean

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

Yes.

#

I mean, internally always.

#

Externally, with the router.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

got it, that literally answered my question

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

The reason only you can connect

#

is because only you can see all three ports.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:39 PM

#

yes yes, I do this for a living it was just a quick question that turned into you being mr know it all

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:39 PM

#

...

#

Seriously?

#

It works now?

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:39 PM

#

all you had to say was "if you disable the packet router make sure 7777 is available"

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:40 PM

#

fast ocean all you had to say was "if you disable the packet router make sure 7777 is avail...

#

And also, it was likely actually using port 15001, because 15000 was busy (being used by the Beacon protocol).

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:42 PM

#

not inbound

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:42 PM

#

Does it work now?

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:42 PM

#

I have to play port shuffle, I'll let you know thanks for the helpp

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:42 PM

#

OK.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:43 PM

#

every damn game uses 7777

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:43 PM

#

It's the default, it seems, and nobody changes it.

#

Be happy you can remap them.

#

(in pre-U6 versions, the Beacon protocol was fixed to UDP/15000)

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

Yeah?

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

so I can just change the beaconport

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

Yes.

#

It's in the same table.

#

This "know it all" wrote that, by the way. ;)

#

I honestly don't get it... If I'm here to help, aren't I supposed to "know it all"? :D

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

it's the way you talk condescending no the information you put out

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:46 PM

#

If you actually stopped for a moment and listened, instead of lashing out? It wouldn't have looked that way.

#

Anyway.

#

You can remap all three, and I recommend you remap them close to each other.

#

There's no reason for them being all over the place.

#

Save you some time playing port shuffle.

#

The server will only step the port up if the one it's supposed to be using is busy. In a sane environment, it shouldn't be busy - and if it is, there's something else running there, and you need to find out what it is, and how to kill it.

#

So, there's no issue with setting them as consecutive numbers.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:48 PM

#

just in a bad mood dealing with this crap, everything was fine until the update

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:48 PM

#

In all likelihood, the packet router started misbehaving,

#

and when you started playing around with the config, the original misconfiguration gave you grief.

#

Perfectly understandable.

#

I have my server on 200nX, where X is 1, 2, and 3 (and n is server number, but that's sort of beside the point).

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

yeah I apologize

#

I'll get this all configured in a row somewhere I can fit it and just set the query beacon and port

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:52 PM

#

fast ocean yeah I apologize

I accept. We're cool.

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:53 PM

My organisation method is around game/server/port, so for instance my official ARK servers are on 14xxx, and my experimental ARK servers are on 15xxx. The breakdown is GGSSP, where GG is the game number (ARK = 14, 15), SS is server number, and P is the port being used.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

makes sense

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

A bit wasteful, but I only host something like 12 games, so I can waste the space.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

more organized than wasteful

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

I never leave a game on a default port if I can help it. It'll either run according to my rules, or not at all.

stray ivy Dec 9, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

i tried running the satisfactory server from steam and I cannot get to connect to it, keep geting connection timed out

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

I also recommend installing via steamcmd wherever possible. It ensures the whole thing is decoupled from any game launcher.

#

It also gives me freedom on when to update.

#

(some Experimental updates are... problematic, so I let others be my canary :D)

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:57 PM

#

yeah I have steamcmd

#

and my systemctl prestart is an update check

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:57 PM

#

I suppose.

#

Like I said, I prefer to update on my own terms, so I don't do the whole preexec song-and-dance.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

well only time it's restarted is when it crashes so I like to validate after every crash

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

Also, if you're not using IPv6 globally, you can go ahead and kill it system-wide - it's not really useful for anything, and can get you in heaps of trouble with "IPv6-first" applications.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

up until a few days ago it had 122 days of uptime

#

I've restarted the service so many times in the last couple days so I can see what you mean there

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

fast ocean up until a few days ago it had 122 days of uptime

Did you configure the SF server to never restart?

#

Because it auto-restarts every 24 hours by default.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

well besides the auto restarts

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 4:59 PM

Ah, ok.

#

blazing halo So why is your LAN IP `.1.62`? :D

it's likely a firewall issue.

testing will tell you

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:14 PM

#

I don't think it's a matter of player count.

It'll be more related to how much you build and explore.

(RAM consumption grows with diff to base map)

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:15 PM

#

fast ocean yeah that makes way more sense

Do note that a) this may be ignored, because the game uses the Scalability options instead, and b) you're still slave to TotalNetBandwidth, and MinDynamicBandwidth / MaxDynamicBandwidth.

#

Even then, this setting only adjusts what is available. It does not dictate how much will actually be used.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:16 PM

I have a ton of bandwidth, you think it would help to up those a little

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:16 PM

#

> It does not dictate how much will actually be used.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:16 PM

#

yeah I get what you mean

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:16 PM

#

Notably, the game runs on ticks.

#

Think of it in terms of FPS, but for the server.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:16 PM

#

true

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

It has a limited amount of time per tick, so sending big chunks of data isn't going to happen.

#

(default target TPS is 30)

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

even with jumbo frames?

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

Jumbo frames also only dictate what's available.

#

If I only have to send 1kg of bird seed,

#

does it matter if I send by bike, by train, or by plane?

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

I get what you mean

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

The game, by its design, only really sends small updates around.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

makes sense

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

Gameplay is such that all of that data goes stale very quickly.

#

You don't care about the amount of steps to the left you made 5 seconds ago, right?

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:19 PM

#

right

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:19 PM

#

Jumbo frames are a headache and a half, in the end. A lot of infrastructure doesn't support it, so you can get painful surprises.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:19 PM

#

unless I end up going back 5 steps cause it didn't register lol

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:19 PM

#

They also tend to lean towards throughput, meaning - the netstack may wait a bit longer to fill the frame.

#

Which is not what you want for the game packets.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

yeah it wouldn't matter since every router between here and wherever would have to have the mtu matched

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

Or perform packet fragmentation, yeah.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

it's udp anyway so

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

But something I've noticed is that many routers on the way don't deal with JF correctly,

#

and I've had painful surprises while trying them out.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

yeah they don't

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:20 PM

#

My LAN was blazing-fast, but many Internet-related things didn't like me much.

#

So I gave up on it.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

most have static mtu at 1492 or so

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

Or so, yeah. I've seen as low as 1470.

#

But it doesn't matter.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

yeah jumbo frames def help to the local nas though

#

almost double when sending larger files

#

cause less tcp overhead but you right, this is all tiny udp so it wouldn't mean anything

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:22 PM

#

Still, with gigabit networking (I'm still waiting for 2.5 GbE to stop costing 1/4th of a GPU...), my disks are such that I can't really push any more beyond about 110 MiB/s.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:22 PM

#

it's like having a 10G adapter plugged into a 100M router

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:22 PM

#

Which, for a gigabit network, is damn near close to perfection anyway.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:23 PM

#

I got a 10G net, from SSD to SSD I get about ~190MiB

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:23 PM

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:23 PM

If you count in all of the various OS-level overhead costs, 190 MiB/s is good for a remote write.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:24 PM

yeah, it's mainly the JF keeping all the handshaking down so frequently

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:24 PM

With NVMe-s becoming more of a thing, that'll gradually improve.

That looks public enough. Check your forward, check the firewall on the machine the server is running on (though considering you can connect, should be fine). You didn't say what command line you used to start it, so I don't know if you're using the built-in router or not.

I set everything to default

I killed off all the instances -9

#

screw it let me reboot it

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

My approach is to set the other two ports in the .ini files, and then launch it with /var/NVMe/SATISFACTORY_Dedicated_Server/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Server-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame -multihome=0.0.0.0 -ServerQueryPort=20010.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

sooo -DisablePacketRouting works

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

Good to have it confirmed.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

but not -multihome=0.0.0.0

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

That does the same, + disable IPv6.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

so that's interesting cause aren't they the same thing

#

ahh ok

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:56 PM

#

No, they're not. I expect this is because it wants to use 127.0.0.1, or ::ff:127.0.0.1, so setting it that way may not let it auto-route.

#

(if it's dumb enough :D)

#

So... -DisablePacketRouting disables just the router, while -multihome=0.0.0.0 disables that and IPv6.

#

(mainly because that's an IPv4 space)

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:57 PM

#

still does the same thing at the defaults

#

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 5:57 PM

#

Oh, remember to close and reopen the game client.

It sometimes caches the responses and gives up retrying.

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 5:57 PM

Each time you restart the server, restart the game client as well.

I can't see the server on the local network now

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 6:02 PM

fast ocean Dec 9, 2022, 6:02 PM

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 6:03 PM

If people over the Internet can connect, it should work over LAN as well.

#

can't see the forest for the trees

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 6:05 PM

So, the server should work with -multihome=0.0.0.0 (that's my go-to because it gets rid of both the router and IPv6 - fastest way out of the damn bog that is them both being broken together).

I wonder if there is a chance that a dedicated server will become a full-fledged and easy-to-administer application without using a client, scripts and other nonsense?

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 7:43 PM

#

Not sure which scripts you mean. As for remote administration... maybe. We'd need the network protocol details to do that, though.

#

But it's fine as-is.

#

If you want management software, there are plenty of people who are willing and able to build some.

(as soon as the devs release the protocol documentation 😂)

For client administration... I honestly don't see the issue: the scope of administration is where it matters - in the game client.

#

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 7:52 PM

#

As far as I'm aware, no server allows direct management, or produces statistics. You need external software for that.

#

In most cases, it's RCON.

#

However, this game doesn't use RCON.

#

Which is sad.

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 7:54 PM

#

Maybe. But like I said, the developers would need to release protocol specifications for it to happen.

#

(the game requires you authenticate before giving any info)

#

Hmm... the Query protocol is known, however, and it does tell you the server version.

#

It tells you two things: the server build, and the Beacon port.

shadow meteor Dec 9, 2022, 7:55 PM

#

How I can give server build number?

blazing halo Dec 9, 2022, 8:04 PM

#

Here: https://github.com/dopeghoti/SF-Tools/blob/main/Protocol.md

#

So basically you send 0x00 0x00 0x0000000000000000 -- and in the 17-byte reply, byte 11 is state (0x01 idle, 0x02 loading, 0x03 playing), and bytes 12-15 give the server version.

Run it via steamcmd. Read more: satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers. Steam thinks You "play the game" twice. Unless You log in separate Steam account on 2nd PC.

oak axle Dec 10, 2022, 3:57 PM

yeah, Im reading that. I actually had dedi servers for multiple games, so Im not a fully beginner, (space engi, valheim, ark, empyrion galactic survival, etc), but I didnt have this problem with those games. I successfully avoided steamcmd in the past. So you are saying I do need that to run satis dedi srv?

Coffee Stain is currently working with Valve to make the Dedicated Server visible in the normal Steam client to accounts which do not currently have access to the Satisfactory game client. However, you can still use SteamCMD to download and install the files without needing a Steam account. -> that means it's still counted as separate license 😕

While I haven't tried running the server from STEAM, I expect that if you launch the executable file on disk, it should not invoke STEAM to launch itself. If it does, make a shortcut to the file and add -nosteam to the launch params.

#

I want to stay in this field, and it's changing quite fast.

#

Still. You can try launching the STEAM-installed one, and seeing if it requires STEAM to run. My bet is - it doesn't. And like I said - if it does, adding -nosteam to it may solve that issue.

#

The server is available for download by the anonymous login, so it technically shouldn't require a valid STEAM account.

On the 2nd PC in server manager the server is visible. I start a new session there, I can see a lot of happenings on server cmd line window, but then the client stays at the server screen instead of throwing me into the game.

blazing halo Dec 10, 2022, 5:03 PM

No, there is no such option. It's skipped automatically, with the first tiers already completed.

In general, if you trust your network's users, there's no reason keep a firewall running inside your network, if there's no open access from the Internet.

As for what you'd need: you would need a machine (a PC, a rented server etc.) that has 16 GiB of RAM and a decent, contemporary x86-64 CPU (so ARM platforms are non-viable).

Disk space is generally negligible, as the server itself requires 20 GiB, and the save files and blueprints are tiny (I would expect you'd accrue at most 200 MiB on average over the lifetime of the server). The logs may be an issue long-term, as they can reach up to about 20 MiB/log and are not automatically deleted.

As for the cost - that would primarily need to factor in: a) the component cost, b) the maintenance costs, and c) the utility costs. All of these are often rolled into a one final cost when renting the server machine.

In terms of operating systems, the server is made availabe for Windows and Linux.

muted flame Dec 10, 2022, 6:45 PM

#

Thanks, I'll have to research it some more (I don't even know what you mean by ARM platforms lol) I'd just really like to have some company in-game and thought it might be easier just to set up my own and make it 24/7

naive grove Dec 10, 2022, 6:47 PM

#

ARM is a different architecture standard, commonly used on mobile devices and Macs, for example. You'll want something that can run windows, linux (ex ubuntu), for example. The majority out there will work for you.

robust abyss Dec 10, 2022, 6:48 PM

#

Is it a fairly straight forward process to take a save from my main machine and move it to my dedicated server? It should just be copying the file and then loading it up once I connect to the server correct?

naive grove Dec 10, 2022, 6:48 PM

#

Correct

robust abyss Dec 10, 2022, 6:48 PM

Cool, thanks

naive grove Dec 10, 2022, 6:49 PM

The process of finding the file is harder than the process of actually moving it, that in itself is a drag and drop 🙈

There are some growing pains to the dedicated servers, but I feel like the perks (continuously running factories, the ability for friends to pop in and out as they please, etc) far outweighs the downsides.

Well, you currently have two *semi-*competing platforms (CPU architectures) in the wild: x86-64 (AKA x64) which is the AMD standard (and an extension of Intel'x x86 standard) used in desktop PCs, and arm64 (sometimes called aarch64) often used in embedded devices, server platforms and so on - and recently, on the Mac, with its M1 platform.

#

The game and server only run on x86-64. Apart from the fact that the game's code relies on the SSE4 instruction set (which is not available on ARM), one of the plugins used by the game is expressly prohibited by its licensor from running on ARM platforms. So... no ARM for us. :D

blazing halo Dec 10, 2022, 7:07 PM

#

naive grove There are some growing pains to the dedicated servers, but I feel like the perks...

One of the major downsides of running the DS is the networking and admin knowledge required to have success. But that can't be changed, as it's not a "Satisfactory" thing per se, but rather a server hosting thing. :D

naive grove Dec 10, 2022, 7:11 PM

#

Kinda counting that as the same kinda downside as "you need to pay, download and install the game to play", increasing returns require increasing inputs :p

blazing halo Dec 10, 2022, 7:12 PM

#

Yeah, except in an ideal world - you'd have a lot more knowledge, only some of which applies to hosting services.

#

But eh, now that's a fairly dry debate to have. :D

naive grove Dec 10, 2022, 7:15 PM

#

Eh, there are enough hosts out there that just searching "Satisfactory Server" game me a Pay'nPlay host as my third result, even that knowledge requirement is shrinking fast. 🙈

blazing halo Dec 10, 2022, 7:16 PM

#

Yeah, replaced with knowledge on how to determine which is a good one to use, how to not step on a landmine (Nitrado, G-Portal, Shockbytes etc.), and how to not pay too much.

#

Honestly? I find networking and admin knowledge + the cost of parts + power costs - to be much more straightforward. The network switch isn't trying to lie to you.

naive grove Dec 10, 2022, 7:18 PM

Iunno, I've just hosted on a barebones Kimsufi server for the past x amount of years, yearning for the day I'll have a strong enough internet to simply host it all at home.

blazing halo Dec 10, 2022, 7:21 PM

#

Yeah, a VPS is something else.

#

They're not usually trying to lie to you (though you should consider CPU time and other such metrics as suspect in terms of overprovisioning).

#

But gameserver hosts in particular have a spotty history. G-Portal makes backroom deals with game devs so that the only servers available are via G-Portal (instead of, say, releasing one to the public). Nitrado lies to its users to entice them to pay for the service, hoping it'll be too much of a hassle to demand a refund. Shockbytes offer SF servers that are not fit for purpose.

naive grove Dec 10, 2022, 7:23 PM

#

I mean, on a barebones you can test for that though. For something just handing out a gameserver it's much harder to verify.

blazing halo Dec 10, 2022, 7:24 PM

I just find that, in view of all of that, paying a bit extra on the utility bill is agreeable.

Especially since I usually have a few spare motherboards and lots of junk gathering dust.

rapid radish Dec 11, 2022, 3:14 AM

#

blazing halo Can you describe this "lag"?

Yes.
the lag does not constantly happen, its more of a few times in the span of an hour. The situations I am describing as lag are as follows.

I will place down a constructer, the image remains in a hologram kind of state for a moment, I try to switch to the deconstruct tool, the tool may change but I do not get a promt to highlight the constructor for deletion. I way for maybe 45 seconds or so and suddenly the materials fly out and the constructor builds.

OR

I will try to deconstruct a handful of things I am not using anymore. Lets say I selected a few walls, a floor or two and a catwalk straight. I have all of those selected to be deconstructed at once, I press and hold to decon them, then nothing... they just stay highlighted that orange hue. again... close to a minute later EVERYTHING catchs up and completes what ever my ingame request was.

#

My favorite is riding trains.
I will be riding from Point A to point C.
Lets say I am just passing point B station.
SUDDENLY, As though the train struck a brick wall it will HALT in place, Then with the same incredible force WHIP backwards meters or just a few feet. It will repeat this process approx. 5 times in the same location over the course of lets say 45 seconds to a minute only to seem as though the game has settled on deciding it is happy with my new location and speed and resume travel at my previous speed AS THOUGH none of this supernatural train haunting took place.

blazing halo Holy shit, that's like $351/mo. :D (assuming the server is running 24/7)

well, 1. we only turn it on when we're playing and less hardware is more or less unplayable. our next step is to build a fast gaming cpu rig and self-host. also its like 2.5 hrs of work so its all relative

i dont know if the core game loop is just too heavy or its not optimized for more cores or what but it seems like vertical scaling the host is the only thing that helps as the world gets big

It should be noted however, that if your hardware can't keep 30, it won't be able to keep 120.

#

In other words, it's not a performance fix.

I have also heard from players who've had weird issues with values higher than 120.

#

so what was your difference in CPU consumption by changing tickrate?

#

also what is the main benefit?

blazing halo Dec 11, 2022, 9:36 PM

#

My personal experience was "no change at all", which only really goes to show that either the game is designed well enough, or that I don't build enough megastructures to be affected either way. CPU consumption seems as it was before, really.

#

It might have benefits for multi-user runs... or it might not.

#

Much like with FPS, unless you need it for competetive play (which, here, you don't), you only really notice the TPS when it drops below some level - and that level is still below 30.

#

In Conan: Exiles, increasing TPS helps a little to mitigate desync, but that server is already doing so much that I don't know if there's a TPS value that will make it not desync, even just a little.

#

Same story with ARK.

#

And, much like with FPS - you will only really get as much as your hardware allows. If it can only do 35, you'll get 35 regardless of what the setting is.

Okay, so the crahses you're experiencing - all to a one - seem to be rain-related. I've been seeing an increased incidence of these over the past week or two, so it looks like there's something in U7.

#

And before you say "But I don't get any rain" - it seems that the server does actually process the rain, it just never makes it to the players.

Hey. So Ive been runing a dedi sserver on own 2nd PC for 2 days by now (thanks for the help for kicking it in). I know its experimental, I know its buggy. But I just ran into memory issues. I have 16GB on this 2nd PC. I saw, its force closed my chrome, I saw, memory usage is at maximum, and I think I saw something memory related errors in the server console but it was also got closed before I could read it. Ok, so not enough memory. Can this be the reason for the unstable server? I mean somebody here wrote thats its pretty stable. But for me I always have restart it after a couple of hours, and we are also experiencing a lot of bugs. Like I have to rebuild a lot of belts, because items are not moving at all, stuck. Im starting to think, a lot of these anomalies -if not all- but minimum the server crashes are because of the not enough memory issue. Before I jump into 2nd PC upgrade I thought I would ask for opinions about it here first.

You have answered Yourself, that's clearly memory issue and server causes swapping, which gives You these delays. Dedicated servers are - in general - intended to run a specific app. eg database servers run only database engine; that's why Satisfactory runs better on a clean system without any addons that can "eat" memory in the background. This way I'm running 2 instances on 17-18GB total memory system.

oak axle Dec 12, 2022, 8:19 AM

#

yes, I get the concept. My 2nd PC is acting like a universal "server" running 24/7, doing a lot of things. This is where I run dedicated servers for all kinds of games Im actually playing. Ok then. upgrade time... yey...

novel yarrow Dec 12, 2022, 8:21 AM

For me best way was always deploy new OS (VM or better, container), assign around 16GB for it and keep monitoring CPU/memory usage using external tools. So I'm running 2 containers for DS, the 3rd is bare metal server.

novel yarrow Dec 12, 2022, 8:49 AM

#

You can see there that single Satisfactory DS instance on U7 averages between 7.8 to 9.58GB usage. Since this is container it doesn't allocate all 16GB at once, saving it for other systems running in the background.

novel yarrow Dec 12, 2022, 9:31 AM

#

@oak axle from this chart You can clearly see the issue - swap in use. So I've re-adjusted parameters, that required full container shutdown (sysctl parameters are read from host). Now swap is clean. I didn't notice this since both are running from fast NVMe.

And now you've exposed your own IP. 🤣

#

Also, you probably cut out the bits I'm interested in.

#

You can delete the whole "log", it's useless in that state.

#

what would you actually need to help us ?

blazing halo Dec 12, 2022, 7:31 PM

#

I doubt I can help you. I'm just trying to confirm a suspicion.

#

Did your friend launch the server with -multihome=0.0.0.0? Because I still saw IPv6 in those logs.

granite goblet Dec 12, 2022, 7:31 PM

#

yea he did

blazing halo Dec 12, 2022, 7:31 PM

#

Was that log after he did?

granite goblet Dec 12, 2022, 7:32 PM

#

yes

blazing halo Dec 12, 2022, 7:32 PM

#

Then he did it wrong.

#

-multihome=0.0.0.0 will, among other things, disable IPv6.

#

There should be no ::1 or ::ffff in that log.

vapid nova Dec 12, 2022, 7:33 PM

#

like that ?

blazing halo Dec 12, 2022, 7:34 PM

#

Yes, that should do it.

#

Is that a - or a long dash though?

#

It needs to be a minus sign.

vapid nova Dec 12, 2022, 7:35 PM

#

it is

blazing halo Dec 12, 2022, 7:35 PM

#

As long as you're sure.

#

Can you show me a log that you're sure is after the server restart with that param in, with connections? You can hide the IP using # (e.g. ###.###.###.###).

#

You can go ahead and DM me with it.

#

Okay, I see nothing jumping out at me from that. I also can't tell if the IPv6 is still there or not, because you simply removed IPs instead of replacing them like I asked.

#

(so I have no way of knowing if you removed just the IPv4, or anything else)

granite goblet Dec 12, 2022, 7:57 PM

#

Oh my bad, 1sec

#

There, sent an updated one like you asked

blazing halo Dec 12, 2022, 8:00 PM

#

Okay, so I assume the only IP addresses you now have in the log, are of the form of N.N.N.N where N is a value between 0 and 255. Correct?

#

No extra colons, letters a-f, and so on.

granite goblet Dec 12, 2022, 8:01 PM

Yes, there's a port number as well
N.N.N.N:Port_Number

#

For starters, if you don't exit Select Mode in that CMD window, you will soon be disconnected from the server.

#

(that while square, and the word "Select" in the title, provide a hint that you're in Select Mode)

#

(hit ENTER or right-click to exit Select Mode)

#

Second - to terminate the server from the console window, press Ctrl+C once.

#

Note that any unsaved progress will be lost.

agile rapids Dec 12, 2022, 8:20 PM

#

blazing halo Note that any unsaved progress will be lost.

That window you see as a screenshot is a window that simply shows logs, I can't type in it, it's started from a .bat with this line in it
start FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended

#

yes I'm new to running a server, and I was using the game Server Manager Console menu to do all commands

#

I'm surprised I can't send command even though it's a different game version, it should affect nothing to be able to still send commands despite the game version

blazing halo Dec 12, 2022, 8:26 PM

#

Again - focus on that window, and press Ctrl+C.

agile rapids Dec 12, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

blazing halo Again - focus on that window, and press Ctrl+C.

I kinda wanted to do a clean close with quit command

#

any reasons I shouldn't do the ctrl+c?

blazing halo Dec 12, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

The server will intercept the signal, and do a clean shutdown.

agile rapids Dec 12, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

(I mean, alt+f4 and click the x window is the same at this point)

blazing halo Dec 12, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

In order to kill it, you need to Ctrl+C twice.

agile rapids Dec 12, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

oh really?

#

that's better then

blazing halo Dec 12, 2022, 8:28 PM

#

You can even customise the signal it'll interpret as "graceful shutdown", though I'm not sure if it has any effect on Windows.

Okay. After much back-and-forth, we have determined that @granite goblet's issue is the same as mine, i.e. desync between client and server on handshaking (server thinks the handshake completed, client is still retrying).

Typically, "couldn't write to the game files". Whether that's because the disk is out of space, or the files are in use... that's up to you to figure out.

#

In general, you should always shut the server down before attempting an update, and you should have at least twice the size of the server (in terms of free space) set aside for an installation.

#

At the very least once again the amount required, anyway.

#

The first go-to would be SSH tunneling (Linux). The second would be something like nc or similar (also Linux). I'm sure there are other solutions, but they're likely on Linux.

#

What you can try, is a VPN server on the Linux host (on the public Internet) which you'd connect to from your Windows machine, and then some routing magic on that Linux host to pass the specific ports over the VPN.

#

Note that the traffic would be rather minimal, so if the solution you find only works on Linux - you can always install a Linux VM on your Windows machine, and let that do the heavy lifting for you.
