dedicated-servers

[vague marten]

if local network yes

[fresh owl]

Ok thanks for your info

[wintry meteor]

for off network are you using your ipv4 ip? if so could you double check that it's correct?

[vague marten]

Yes

i try with the ipv6 too

[regal roost]

Anyone have issue on dedicated server that makes people game crashed when they see enemy enitity?

[fair tulip]

Question! How to get status from server!? Like how many is online or ticks or other info?!

[wintry meteor]

afaik there isnt a way for dedicated servers, as it appears that mods do not work for them, which includes API stuff

[fair tulip]

How can web hosting have that?!

[wintry meteor]

afaik it cant atm

[quartz bramble]

There is no API, however you can view it from the server manager

[wintry meteor]

https://docs.ficsit.app/ficsitremotemonitoring/latest/

[quartz bramble]

That’s a mod, not part of a base server, this server isn’t a modding server

[wintry meteor]

well yeah

but theres still an API out there

[quartz bramble]

There’s a monitoring software, but not a Coffeestain produced and managed API

[wintry meteor]

ok

thats what i said

[wispy jungle]

arm64 is taunting me. I get the server up and running using box86/64 on the oci free tier and connect to it for a few minutes before it crashes

No one's got it working since the last few people who attempted it here a few months back, right?

[outer bluff]

hi, im running the dedicated server on ubuntu 20.04 and have it already downloaded, but running it gives me this error. Is there anything I can do?

[lethal olive]

Not being 'root'

Seeing that message is 30 minutes old, maybe you solved it on your own.

[outer bluff]

well i created another user and i got a different error this time

not sure what is happening here but everything is installed

[lethal olive]

Seems that (at least) one library isnot installed. Maybe the lib in question is not in search path.

[outer bluff]

nope its definitely there though

[lethal olive]

Hmm. I did not try to install the server on linux by myself, so no first-hand-experience with that. Only some linux knowlegde.
Here has someone other to Look after that, sorry.

[outer bluff]

hmm alright thanks anyways

ill try reinstalling it see if that works

[lethal olive]

Has the new user the rights to 'see' the libs in question too?

[outer bluff]

yeah

alright i think its running fine? maybe

[vague birch]

just gonna throw this out there cause i cant seem to find an answer anywhere

anybody know why the server is just crashing while trying to load a fresh save
looks like its trying to load foliage
then just stops with the word "killed"

[hollow atlas]

If all you get is that word, that usually means your system kernel is killing the application.
The most common reason for that would be the system running out of memory, and the kernel killing non-important applications. Do you have enough memory to run the satisfactory server?

[vague birch]

i just changed it from 8 to 16 GB

see if that helps, i have more if need be

currently running in a VM

[oblique vector]

basic question, but when the wiki says to "run a command" like this, where the hell do I actually do the command...? in the game console doesnt make sense and doesnt work, tried it anyway. In windows cmd it doesn't work, and in the server window it doesn't even let me put it in to check it :/

trying again to work through some issues and this thing isn't telling me where to run these random commands like cmon

[wintry meteor]

which guide are you using?

oh wait nvm found it

[wintry meteor]

this command is for linux and will not work on windows

to start open windows cmd

[oblique vector]

there was a second command just under, for windows, tried that didnt work either

[wintry meteor]

then input cd\, then cd \path\to\dedicated\server, next input .\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended and you should be good to go

this is under the "Starting the server" portion of the guide (4.x)

[oblique vector]

riiiiight

[wintry meteor]

not work?

[oblique vector]

I'll give it a shot in a second

[oblique vector]

I saw this in the console lines or whatever it's called, likely causing most if not all of my issues, I have a laptop I originally wanted to install the server on it's own, can I run the server on the lapotp using the same account as the game on my main pc? cause I think I tried it earlier and it said it would cancel my current session on my pc

if I install the server using steamCMD at least

[wintry meteor]

i dont understand how it could cancel your session on your pc 🤔

running on laptop probably wont go very well tbh

[oblique vector]

its the same account so steam doesn't like it when I dare try to use something else on another device

previously was installed through steam not steamcmd

the -nosteam thing didnt work though, unless that goes somewhere ELSE again but it looked like a steam launch command to me

[wintry meteor]

oh yeah try using steamcmd to install it

[oblique vector]

I mean I'll try running the server on the same computer I just don't know where to put -nosteam like it said

[wintry meteor]

where are you seeing that?

[oblique vector]

in the actual server window 'console' thingy, I dont know what it's called lmao this all new to me

its not the console like in game is why I hesitate to call it that

[wintry meteor]

command line?

[oblique vector]

I suppose so

[wintry meteor]

where are you seeing something that has -nosteam

[oblique vector]

I think its the command line, it just doesnt have a name in the window that opens

[wintry meteor]

wdym?

im searching for -nosteam on the dedicated servers wiki and nothing is coming up

[oblique vector]

this thing

[wintry meteor]

right what about it

[oblique vector]

thats where it tells me to try using -nosteam because client and server are on the same device

it says to use it on the command line but I don't know what "cmdline" it means

[wintry meteor]

thats where what tells you to use it

[oblique vector]

but what command line cause it's not letting me type in that thing

[wintry meteor]

???

what is telling you to do that

not where

not anything else

what guide is saying to do that

[oblique vector]

to do the -nosteam thing?

[wintry meteor]

yes

[oblique vector]

that's the server itself, no guide, one would assume that the server itself would be trustable when pointing out issues

[wintry meteor]

where is it telling you to do that

and it is experimental, so that may not be the case

[oblique vector]

here

not in this screenshot because I specifically booted it up to get that shot but it's in this command window when the server starts

[wintry meteor]

can i get a screenshot of that

[oblique vector]

of the command window with the thing saying to use nosteam

I'll see if it comes up...

[wintry meteor]

ah ok i see

yeah so that assumes you are starting it from the command line, in which case you would stick -NOSTEAM on the end, but im guessing you arent

try via steamcmd

[oblique vector]

I am and I put on that -nosteam

[wintry meteor]

wait

did you put -nosteam or -NOSTEAM

[oblique vector]

I put it in caps yes

[wintry meteor]

ok cool

yeah try w/ steamcmd, if that doesnt work

uhh

tbh not sure

im running my server on Ubuntu Server OS, so im not too well versed on the windows version

[oblique vector]

yeah I've been doing that. Using steamCMD, using -NOSTEAM, using all the right stuff according to what it's asking for and just doesn't work... my luck nothing ever works "normally", mods, servers, always more complicated

[wintry meteor]

hmmm

well yeah complications are very common with this type of thing

experimental stuff is rarely easy to work with

you could try running it off of your laptop, but really no promises there

you could also try getting the dedi server helped off of epic games and see if it works when ran from there

[oblique vector]

yeah I'm tempted to try from epic

there's also this which I'm concerned about when it comes to friends joining

[wintry meteor]

if its still working then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[oblique vector]

yeah

[oblique vector]

hm, this time I ran the server from steam not steamcmd and that didn't pop up

[vague birch]

just wanted to follow up and say that im pretty sure 8GB should be sufficient but it is not, i raised system memory to 16GB and it fired up no problem

[slim condor]

Im trying to upload blueprints to my server and i just cant seem to find the dedicated servers blueprint file, it literally doesn't exist? Is there any way I can create a directory file so the server can possibly recognize it? I also have blueprints in the server but I can't find where they are located (Because they don't exist in any directory lol)

[shy vapor]

Have you previously used blueprints? You need to save your own one for the game to create the correct directory

[slim condor]

as i said above yes, i made blueprints in the server before, i have probably around 10 but there is no directy that exists

[shy vapor]

Ah sorry, i found it in the folder housing the long numbered folder which had all my saves

[slim condor]

yeah i dont have one of those in the server lol

[shy vapor]

No clue then, sorry i couldn’t help

[low void]

does anyone know if server modding is a thing yet?

primarily interested because my game crashed holding all of the christmas special items before i had them unlocked so now i cant research to unlock and just looking for a fix

also i got a server running if anyone wants to join, lol

nvm, lol

[peak trail]

can i join?

[wintry meteor]

dedicated servers do not have modding possibilities atm

[wintry meteor]

have you tried searching for a directory titled blueprints?

[lofty slate]

Its should be in the C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\blueprints

[minor oasis]

man I hope they fix the delete crash soon

In Linux, the blueprints are in a hidden folder in the user's home directory named ".config "
/home/steam/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/blueprints

[slim condor]

Tried looking for that but when I enter the saved file all that’s in there is config and logs that’s it I’ve searched it in every file but the directory doesn’t exist in the files

[minor oasis]

do you know what user you installed as?

are you on a hosting provider or self-hosted?

[slim condor]

I’m hosting on a provider

[minor oasis]

hmm the directory structure could be different I suppose. Did you find the hidden .config directory?

maybe try cd ~/.config/ if it's installed as the same user you're logging in as

[slim condor]

how would i do this?

[slim condor]

and there is a config file but it doesnt have the dot in it, the files that are in it are linuxserver and crashreportclient thats it

[shut bobcat]

For windows. Does anyone know how to change the 2nd file location for servers.

[calm jacinth]

i moved dedicated server to windows 11 and now FactoryServer.exe apparently can't use more than 4 GiB of RAM or Event Viewer gets flooded with "ran out of memory" events for FactoryGame

[desert walrus]

Change the task priority

[shut bobcat]

@desert walrus do you know how to change were the appdata folder is.

[calm jacinth]

was normal, raised it to above normal, still refuses to go higher than 4 GiB

shows as x64 in the process tab

wait a minute...is it talking about VRAM?

i'm so confused

i start satisfactory server and it spams 26,000 events of "ran out of memory"

👀 does unactived Windows 11 have a hard limit of 4 GiB RAM per process?

gonna activate it this week

[desert walrus]

You can't change that, its a windows system folder

Why do you want it?

[shut bobcat]

Game is stored on d drive (faster drive) but the game saves to c drive (slow drive) rather everything happen on d.

[shut bobcat]

Ya i realized I worded it wrong. I meant all the files that go toward that directory.

Man I can't type today.. lol

[desert walrus]

Why not put os on fast drive?

[shut bobcat]

Drives not bad. Just rather have everything for the game on the other drive.

Anyway if it's not possible don't worrie about it.

[desert walrus]

It's not AFAIK
Your games will probably load faster with os on fas drive and games on slightly slower one

[shut bobcat]

Alright thanks anyway

any progress on the issue in some networks where the handshake constantly fails?

i feel that by the time its fixed, i'll already be fully moved into my new network lol

for ref, im talking about https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/62e2e201ca608e080351af06

[civic lantern]

I think the answer will be found by studying tcpdump or ngrep. Have you tried capturing a successful connection and a failed one from the server?

[viscid jewel]

Just joined the channe but was wondering if there was a fix for the constant crashing of the client when playing on dedicated server running experimental build?

[quartz bramble]

Dedi servers and especially experimental is very buggy. When you ask questions please provide screenshots and/or text logs of your errors and describe in detail what the issue is so we can try and help. Otherwise it is very bad to try and help you out

[viscid jewel]

understood, i will see if i can narrow it down but it seems to be the same problem everyone has been having for a couple of months. client crashes, when you log back in it gives you a new char (which i find if you wait till it kicks you that usually fixes the new char issue) but have only noticed it happens a lot when running into spitters but i will see what info i can grab to assist

[quartz bramble]

Always also try restarting the server, validating files, and checking settings to see if that fixes any issues

[viscid jewel]

also is there anyway to switch my dedicated server off of experimental without losing my save?

[quartz bramble]

As far as I know there is only one active build of dedi servers ATM

[viscid jewel]

ahh ok ty

it is very strange cause i logged back in after crash and it gave me a new char but i was able to run over to my old char and revive myself. now i just need to see if it will log me on as my old char

[remote tulip]

Hello. I'm trying to setup my dedicated server network speeds. Do the clients settings have to be the same as server settings or can they different?

• My internet speeds are 200Mb ↓, 200Mb ↑.

• I have set the server and my game settings to 100Mb
  maximum and 10Mb minimum.

• My friend's internet speeds are 20Mb ↓, 5Mb ↑.

[tranquil valley]

they can differ, server limit is limiting how much data can the server send or receive

[remote tulip]

ok ty

[tranquil valley]

good luck

[remote tulip]

Oh I forgot one thing. My server auto closes if left running. I read that its normal. But its not restarting. Is that normal? Is there a way to have it restart instead of shutting down?

[clever parrot]

Hello, just a question about dedicated server. Are Nodecraft servers running 24/7 ? Or should I need to find another one ?

[scarlet crater]

can I have someone test if they can connect to my DS? I have a friend who can't and I can't figure out what

[wintry meteor]

use a cronjob

theres info on the wiki for how to do that

[noble torrent]

DM me the details, I can test it.

[daring sundial]

Two things. Local copy from a local world does not seem to be pulling blueprints onto the dedi server when loading the save world and two, commands like save interval timeout and other commands to modify how long things occur seems to reset on restart of the server?

[vestal halo]

How much ram do you think a dedicated server would need for 2-3 people playing on the server max

more mid to late game

[desert walrus]

12 gigs min, 16 optimal

[vestal halo]

Alrighty thanks

[desert walrus]

Would probably launch on 10 but wouldn't reccomend it

[errant gazelle]

why does oil production take so much fucking power

[torpid ridge]

Probs cause it generates so much more?

Plus coal is meant to be early game

[undone sky]

power generation progression goes from low cost/low output to high cost/high output

[oak axle]

Hey. How do I direct the server console log to a file? Im running my own dedicated server on my 2nd PC (win10). My server is crashing and I want to know the reason. I suspect Im running out of RAM. Anyway, the question is the logging into file. I was running also a valheim dedi server and there, I just added this to the server starting batch file: -logFile "s:\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim dedicated server\server.log". I did this with satisfactory dedi server, but this is not working, no log file is created.

[wintry meteor]

its already directed to a file

I want to have a dedicated server with mods, is it easier to just run the game regularly on server and join it or is there a tutorial for getting mods to work on dedicated server files?

[wintry meteor]

there is not currently a way to run mods on a dedicated server

[royal warren]

Im curious what people's stability experience with the dedicated server has been so far.

I've recently hosted a dedicated server that myself and 3 others have been active on and it seems that the server tends to go down approximately around 16 hours of active usage.

i have been lazy and haven't looked at my personal logs since restarting it is easy enough, but again, what has been other peoples experience?

[wintry meteor]

probably rain crashes

can you send logs

[royal warren]

i have never seen rain 😂

let me get back later today after work and actually taking a time myself to review those logs

[wintry meteor]

it doesn't display on servers

[royal warren]

interesting, that's fine though... for now

[wintry meteor]

no no it causes crashing

it's really weird

[steep flume]

Is it a known issue that on dedicated larger server, when I build, stuff stays as "ghost" for a while before I can continue with the thing I built? This happens most often with conveyer belts and lifts.

[wintry meteor]

not too uncommon, i get a similar thing with mass destruction

likely just lag

[steep flume]

33gb ram free and cpu at 30% 🤔

[near rapids]

What's your server tick rate

[halcyon glen]

So I'm trying to install a satisfacotry server on my VPS. It is running on Ubuntu 20.06. I had the steam client already installed because of my previous ARK servers. I installed the satisfacotry server, but it always crashes on run. I did validate the files with steamCMD serveral times, but it still isn't working...
The error doesn't say much, that why I'm here :/ :

Assertion failed: !HasCommands() [File:Runtime/RHI/Public/RHICommandList.h] [Line: 3841]

Pure virtual function called!
Signal 6 caught.
start.sh: line 5: 374452 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) "$UE4_PROJECT_ROOT/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Server-Linux-Shipping" FactoryGame "$@"```

Full Log: https://pastebin.com/SLygkKs8

I also did launch it with the screen tool, but no difference...

Thank you in advance :^)

[wintry meteor]

well that log says permission denied a lot

are you running the server as the steam user

[halcyon glen]

but the documentation says, that the server shall not be run from a root user..

and the steam user does have root (sudo) permissions

[wintry meteor]

don't do that!!!

do not ever give the steam user root permissions

that is a massive security issue

yeah so you need to fix that, and once you do run it as steam and it should work

[halcyon glen]

i thing you got the wrong thread 😉

[wintry meteor]

what?

[halcyon glen]

there was a weired guy

deleted his message

but anyway

[halcyon glen]

unfortunatly it doesn't...

I'm gettig this error now:
https://pastebin.com/YHzhFZzN
Again a lot of permission denided ...

[wintry meteor]

could you try installing using lgsm?

[halcyon glen]

👍

[steep flume]

[void glen]

is there any servers where people are playing?

#looking-for-group-old

[near rapids]

I had same issues with 30 ticks. Switched today from epyc to old i5 and so far much better. Running near 120 ticks

[steep flume]

Thanks for the tip

[steep flume]

I raised network speeds and tick rate to 60 and it's great again

[ripe steppe]

Is the tick rate only influenced by cpu or by gpu too ? Running mine on Xeon E5 on an old Dell Server based on vSphere. Wondering if adding a Nvidia K1 or K2 will improve tick rate.

[wintry meteor]

GPU should have 0 effect on tick rate

for the most part dedi servers don't use GPU

[stark gazelle]

Hey, how do you guys check what tickrate the server is running at
Ignore that, are there any settings that help increase the tickrate?

[frosty gale]

@everyone Whens update 8 coming? any news?

[hollow atlas]

Only Coffee Stain knows. If there was news, you'd know from #announcements

[wheat jackal]

in the Engine.ini file there is
LanServerMaxTickRate=30
NetServerMaxTickRate=30

But changing those to 60 or 120 doesnt change anything. I have a Dedicated server running off GTXGaming and the Multiplayer in this game is WORSE then a Year ago. Everyone gets disconnected constantly. Customizing the Walls or foundations to fast will crash server. I wish they would focus on Multiplayer more since its getting Worse with every patch they send out

[trim hearth]

I'm glad I'm not the only server with the same issues lol

[wintry meteor]

could be rain crashing

[wheat jackal]

haha ya, multiplayer in this game is Garbage

[wintry meteor]

either way im glad they are focused on getting the game good then mp stuff

they arent a big studio

having to split their focus more would not be helpful to anyone

[trim hearth]

[2023.01.12-12.43.11:933][550]LogNetSerialization: Error: FBitWriter overflowed! (WriteLen: -1, Remaining: 7255, Max: 7255)

[wintry meteor]

thats really not enough info to do anything with

[trim hearth]

that seems rather ominous

is there much to do? client crashed this time as well, so off with the bug report

one thing i have noticed is client time and server time not being able to keep up.

factorio used to have the same issues before they fixed that

nearly at 6000 hours game time as well... there is a few offline players hanging around now haha

[wheat jackal]

Ya, we pretty much gave up. dumping the server on Feb 3rd when renew time comes. Games not worth the hassle or $$. I Boosted it to 20GB ram allocated and High CPU and its still a crash party for everyone. Dont customize a Foundation more then 1 every 5 sec or Crash...its to bad, we were enjoying it.

[trim hearth]

i have had steady at around 13 GB ram, the world is fairly populated with huge things too

at the start we comfortably had 8 players going... i think as more game objects get added it just ends up too much

[wheat jackal]

ya, There not good at Multiplayer....lesson learned for the future, avoid buying there MP games

[trim hearth]

eh i have a valheim server thats been running basically nice MP was released

that has far less issues, and was relatively stable, although its far less complex granted

[wheat jackal]

also have a Valheim server thru same host, that run fine, just has a RAM issue

[trim hearth]

turn down the save interval

same with satisfactory too lol

at least they have admin options to clean up, that is the things that are really missing in satisfactory

without some third party save editor or something

[wheat jackal]

we had a satisfactory server up last Jan Feb Mar 2022 and we did have a few issues but a year later it has got so much worse

think we going to try out Icarus for a few months, they have come aways....GL with your server, gotta run

[trim hearth]

well CS is really pushing content updates to keep the playerbase entertained

GLFH

[wintry meteor]

dude it's literally early access what do you expect

also i literally have none of those issues, so if i were you i would take issue with the host and not the game

[wheat jackal]

Initial release date: March 19, 2019

Early Access is a Gaming Scam yeti.....but call it what you want

[empty steppe]

Bro games take time to make, cool your horses, try making a game and then come back here.

[wheat jackal]

I still bought it and still play it, still said its a great game, just there MP Sucks donkey balls

[empty steppe]

Bro they arent claiming to have perfected multiplayer yet 💀 there is litterally a disclaimer

[wintry meteor]

it's not built for more than 4 players at once

[wintry meteor]

yeah literally this

[wheat jackal]

never said we had more then 4

[wintry meteor]

ok good for you

be glad mp is even offered jfc

[wheat jackal]

lol...ok have a great day #1 fan boy...bye

[wintry meteor]

Bro what

[naive coral]

huh

[wintry meteor]

mp isn't perfect not great either

but at least it exists

[naive coral]

how is this fanboying

[steep flume]

I changed those and a few values yesterday and I could see tick rate go from 30 to 60 in the server manager after I saved, and then loaded up a save. I had lots of rubberbanding and lag issues and the server has been working a lot better since. (dedicated on a linux box)

[blissful dune]

hello guys, i need your help. Few days back i bought server for me and my friend. We play to a level of creating blueprints. So i created 6 blueprints, reconnect and check my blueprint and i had only 2, so i created again missing blueprints (suma 6 blueprints) and today when i was joined... again a miss the 4 a stay only 2. I dont know where is problem, in my blueprints folder have all data, but not in the game. Can u help me please?

[wintry meteor]

yeah blueprints are weird atm, although this may be an issue with the server provider

[marsh dew]

Hi all, I currently rent a server through a server provider (not sure if allowed to name here) for ~$15/m. It says it supports up to 10 slots, but with just 3-4 friends on it we encounter some issues. Main issue is the server will crash randomly, also have issues where after a player crashes they spawn in brand new character, which results in us having to kill the "offline" player. Is this a constraint issue of hardware or just SF servers in general being buggy? I have an extra server laying around I could use, I just hate dedicating it to a single game, but willing to if it solves the issues with my friends... Specs are E3-1270 v3, 32 GB RAM DDR3, 480 GB SSD, will run on headless linux

[desert walrus]

ATM satisfactory servers are quite buggy for some and just fine for others
The devs have just recently returned to work after a month away for holiday season, so I'd hope to see many of the current crashes begin to get patched out in the next few weeks

[wintry meteor]

that provider is lying to you

[desert walrus]

By default the game only allows 4 players

[wintry meteor]

the servers are not designed to go over 4, and there is no chance they can support 10 atm

[desert walrus]

It is possible, it just increases host load

IIRC the record is over 100 simultaneous players

[wintry meteor]

oh wow nice

but also the new update is especially unstable for mp

[marsh dew]

That’s actually quite funny bc all the providers I found offer over 4 😂. I expect to be lied to anyways. I don’t plan on having more than 4, usually it’s just 3 at max

[wintry meteor]

hmm do you have access to logs?

there's a chance some of this is rain crashing

[marsh dew]

Yeah I don’t know the difference. Just bought the game last Monday, so I have no baseline to go off of. Never played single player either so not sure what is normal

[wintry meteor]

yeah that's fair

do you have the ability to change the files?

i would turn off ficsmas in game and maybe try raising or lowering tick rate and seeing what happens

[marsh dew]

I do have FTP access yes

Oh you can turn off ficmas? Those presents have been annoying af, thanks I’ll try that

[wintry meteor]

ok check out the game.ini file

yeah it's super annoying lol

check out the wiki article for dedicated servers

[marsh dew]

Will do

[loud minnow]

By default yes but I run fine with around 6-7 players on a 3950x and 64GB 3466drr4 kit and I just have a script to auto restart the server in case it crashes and it just worked fine for the people I host for

Yeah you get the client/server crashing problem but if you have a script to auto restart it it just back up right away in a minute or less

[wintry meteor]

yup i do the same thing with a script to start on case of crashing

good to know about the player count though, ty

[loud minnow]

Yeah you can modified the config to support more player is just a beta thing tho they have it on the wiki

But so far 8 players works fine

[wintry meteor]

yeah i knew about that

just didnt think it would be stable

[misty kraken]

I've not played in a while anyone got a relativly new server running i can join.

[wintry meteor]

#looking-for-group-old

[misty kraken]

ty

[wintry meteor]

how do i go about doing this? my Engine.ini file looks like this

ah nevermind, took awhile but i finally found the wiki article on it

although it isn't actually working 🤔

[steep flume]

That's just the network speeds, you can also adjust the server tick rate

[/Script/Engine.Player]
ConfiguredInternetSpeed=800000
ConfiguredLanSpeed=800000

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]
LanServerMaxTickRate=60

I have mine like this and server manager indicated tick rate went up and I had less "frozen" belts, ghosting structures and rubberbanding afterwards.

[wintry meteor]

oh awesome tysm

yeah nah still not working

did a server restart

[wintry meteor]

hmmm

whats your .ini look like?

[novel yarrow]

Engine.ini on the server:

[wintry meteor]

why is the configured internet speed so high?

[novel yarrow]

cause I'm on LAN

[wintry meteor]

hmmm ok

i am as well so ig ill do a similar thing

[novel yarrow]

Game never uses more than 10Mb

[wintry meteor]

🤔

my Engine.ini is the exact same

i wonder if it might be because im using lgsm to manage the server?

[novel yarrow]

Have You marked file as read-only?

[wintry meteor]

it should be by default, no?

[novel yarrow]

Game overwrites settings in INI files.

[wintry meteor]

ahhh

how do i fix that?

[novel yarrow]

right click -> properties -> mark as read-only, after edit

and restart DS

[wintry meteor]

uhhh

im on ubuntu lol

serverOS

[novel yarrow]

ok then

[wintry meteor]

ill look it up lol

[novel yarrow]

/home/steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini

[wintry meteor]

./serverfiles/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini is where mine is

[novel yarrow]

My test client 1 has good GPU, where client 2 has GTX 650 (!) and these values I'm getting. CPU bound only.

[wintry meteor]

with the . being /home/sfserver

how does gpu affect how a non graphics throttled server performs? is there a way to enable GPU boosting?

[novel yarrow]

I'm saying there's no change on DS performance, It's CPU-only calculation.

[wintry meteor]

wat

[novel yarrow]

On local network and these parameters all env sounds are synced, it's completly stereo no delays.

[wintry meteor]

im a lil confused

whats that got to do with anything?

worked ty

[novel yarrow]

good

But I'm getting 200+ on empty server

how it looks when You log in?

[wintry meteor]

checking an area with lots of belts now

there a way to give it more ram to work with? i got tons free on my server

[novel yarrow]

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=french&id=2356992556 many hints re performance tweaks I've found there

[wintry meteor]

awesome ty

belts are perhaps more stuttery than before

[wintry meteor]

wtf

[loud minnow]

Server tick rate doesn’t increase performance fyi you can have a high tick rate doesn’t meant the server is faster or performance is better… of course it always depend on the game but I do believe in satisfactory it doesn’t really benefit the game from what I’ve seen…

[wintry meteor]

i know

but it doesnt help with the weird conveyor belt issues

no game has increased server performance from increased tick rate

in fact every single game out there has the except opposite thing happen, because thats how tick rate works

[royal copper]

So is there a setting that fixes belt visual glitches? Like overlapping, skipping, or just going invisible for a moment?

I mean it's not life ending, but it is rather ugly.

[novel yarrow]

Higher than normal 30 tick settings allows me optimise things for larger maps (10MB+) when I reach such save size, my current builds are still "small". It also seems each client CPU type affects overal DS tickrate maximum values, eg. slow GPU + fast CPU performs better than slow CPU + fast GPU. Also all clients must match these settings with the server to make them consistent. When I got this knowledge I'll left default 30 tick but more players can join.

[harsh garden]

What do you guys recommend for server ram?

[tropic zodiac]

i Think 12gb is a good starting point

[harsh garden]

Do anything t lower is not good? For a super small world

[tropic zodiac]

90% of the time i play solo, and ram usage is 8.5 GB

I wont go below 10 GB for now

[harsh garden]

Okay thanks man

[tropic zodiac]

Highest i saw was 9gb with 3 players

[harsh garden]

How big is your save

[tropic zodiac]

Around 3MB

[harsh garden]

Okay thanks.

[tropic zodiac]

Anytime man...

[novel yarrow]

#dedicated-servers message there are 4 concurent servers on 64GB and overal mem usage. No KMS (Proxmox uses Kernel Memory Sharing to reduce memory usage).

.. so average is 12,2GB per instance including VM overhead.

[harsh garden]

Anyone have a good hosting platform I should use?

[wintry meteor]

your own pc if it can handle it is the best way to go

online hosting platforms are pretty bad atm

[steep jetty]

can you bring blueprints into a dedicated server im hosting a server and i didnt have blueprints before i ported the save

[wintry meteor]

yep

depending on what you're asking, you can just drag the files over and make sure perms are right

[steep jetty]

yea i havent done anything with blueprints at all and i wanted to get some because i just deconstructed my factory this it the farthest ive ever been and i want to rebuild efficient and clean so i wanted to download blueprints from calculator and pull them onto the server

[wintry meteor]

yep you can do that

[steep jetty]

i dont host the server from my personal computer i use a server i built does it need to go to that computer or can i bring it in from my computer where i launch the game

[wintry meteor]

it has to be on the server

[steep jetty]

ok thanks for the info ill make sure i do that i need to build the blue print machince first i know the get the repo for the folder

[smoky fox]

hi everyone! who was making a dedicated server and can help me with it?

[steep jetty]

have you been connected before?

i had a very hard time making a server myself i actually ended findind a site called AMP that basically does all the back end work for you it did cost money but so worth the time youll save trouble shooting

[smoky fox]

no and i have done a lot of things to connect but they all dont help me

[steep jetty]

@smoky fox i went through the same thing the only thing i can help with is if you have a spare 10$ look into AMP it streamlines the connection and make it save you a massive 2 day headache like me

[wintry meteor]

if you're on Linux you should look into lgsm (it's this but free)

[steep jetty]

i have a windows server that i use AMP on but if i go to a linux server i will look into this for sure

[smoky fox]

can i send me site

[steep jetty]

ill PM you the info

[novel yarrow]

Guys, it all depends on use case.

I have also AMP license and I wasn't able to get Satisfactory DS working at that time when tested it.
I'm running LXC containers on my hosts, virtualization on QEMU/virsh or pure DS server on bare-metal host.
I'm testing multiple cluster types for optimal usage in Satisfactory DS.
Limiting factor for me is lack of enough hardware equipment, have only 4 bare-metal servers to play with. Also power prices rapidly increasing recently 😦

So far best performance and general host usage is Proxmox host and LXC containers running separate DS instances.

[steep jetty]

good to know so far AMP is working fine for me i looked into it before i bought it and everyone who uses it said it works great and so far thats the case for me

[royal copper]

Do people crash more often on dedicated servers?

[novel yarrow]

LinuxGSM @ github? I'll look into this.

[wintry meteor]

yep it's pretty nice

they do a similar thing for tons of other games not just sf

[royal copper]

Game crashing, and basically killing me when it crashes but I can't find any items or loot boxes. This issue has only happened on dedicated servers. Any idea why...?

Not just me, others on my server as well.

[wintry meteor]

do you have server and client logs?

[near rapids]

Are you crashing in rocky desert by any chance?

[royal copper]

One of us was, I was in the red forest. So what it's doing it creating like multiple characters for one person on the same dedicated server.

So like it will give me a whole different character while my old one is sitting down with my inventory.

[wintry meteor]

can you give us logs

[royal copper]

If it happens again, I will.

I'm sure it will.

[steep jetty]

I noticed the other day id crash every 10 minutes or so not sure why hasnt done it in a couple days thankfully

to get the loot it somehow spawned my old body and i got my stuff that way

[royal copper]

Yeah I just reloaded off of the calculator to reset the hard drives, and then it spawned me in my old body and the other one was sitting down. I'm like wtf is this lol

[novel yarrow]

My current "online" time. 2 or 3 DS crashes during this all time.

[steep jetty]

what does game phase mean mine says endgame but doesnt feel like that i feel like im new still lol

[royal warren]

ive had a lot of issues with my client crashing when I get aggression from a hostile animal

so i turned on peaceful mode and things have been better

[novel yarrow]

This was one of these recent crashes, but happend only once. We just reloaded last autosave (I have 6 last autosaves set). But DS itself didn't crash, it was client crash.

[royal copper]

Reloaded the server again and I am in a new body, looking at my old body... Again.

What in the Freaky Friday lol

[novel yarrow]

EPIC or Steam version?

[royal copper]

Steam.

[novel yarrow]

Hard to tell what cause this then. When it occured on our game we just reloaded last save, it didn't reoccured since. Usually EPIC-to-SF player ID sync may cause this.

[royal copper]

Hm good to know.

[wintry meteor]

<@&370483737957236737>

[undone sky]

<@&387163995947270144>*

[quaint peak]

Hi, I have a server under linux and I can't find where the map backup file is.

[royal copper]

Okay yeah this is beyond insane. Everytime I log in, the server just creates another character for me and I can see my old body sitting somewhere, or sometimes it disappears alongside all my things. There's nothing in the logs giving me an error because I'm simply logging out then back in. What do I do?

[wintry meteor]

the server and client side logs?

[near rapids]

Game thinks you're not online

[novel yarrow]

Try uploading save to SCIM, removing all orphaned players, save then upload that to back to DS.

This will rebuild save file.

[royal copper]

That's a good idea, thank you.

[calm patrol]

Suddenly reaching mid game this happens every 1-2h

but when I look at my server provider it's all good

Just randomly kicks us out, was just two players in-game

rollback is around nothing and 10 minutes

have my dedicated at gtxgaming

[wintry meteor]

can you send logs?

[royal copper]

The dedicated server I have has 12 gigs, there's normally 2-4 of us online and we're only three days in and there's some serious lag. Do you think that's normal? lol

I feel like I am blowing this channel up, forgive me and thank you for your help. ❤️

[wintry meteor]

thats what its here for

[royal copper]

Is 10-12 gigs enough ram for 2-4 people?

[wintry meteor]

should be yeah

[rugged cape]

:0

[eager marsh]

i cant set mine up

[calm patrol]

hmm lets see, didnt realize how much it took memory so bought some more, running much smoother now

[calm patrol]

does it save the crash logs somewhere?

[wintry meteor]

yeah, i don't remember where off the top of my head but if you search for *.log in the files you should be able to find them

[novel yarrow]

/home/steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryGame/Saved/
Crashes and /home/steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryGame/Saved/Logs

[full swallow]

for anyone who has purchased dedicated servers, what host would you recommend ?

[wintry meteor]

is your pc good enough to host yourself? if so, that

online hosters are all pretty bad a atm

[full swallow]

and expensive from what i can see

what is the recommended to host yourself?

[novel yarrow]

@full swallow You can also rent bare-metal host from hosting company like OVH and setup Yourself everything, they have "gaming" line specific for game servers with high-clock CPUs, but that's little bit expensive; investment in your equipment will pay off in less than a year.

[wintry meteor]

buying a home servers was one of the best investments I've ever made

[full swallow]

i just upgraded my pc too

well more so threw my old one out and built a new one lol

[wintry meteor]

if thats the case you should be able to run a DS on it lol

[calm patrol]

Is there any way to config the server? like turn the ficmas off?

[novel yarrow]

By ticking the 'Disable Seasonal Events' option under 'Gameplay' settings ?

[calm patrol]

hmm I dont see that option when in multiplayer

[wintry meteor]

theres a command you can run in the console in the lobby menu

FG.DisableSeasonalEvents 1

[calm patrol]

uuh yes, i've been looking for some console commands

Thanks! will try it now!

[wintry meteor]

np

you will need to restart your server

[calm patrol]

yep

[wintry meteor]

all the useable commands can be found on the wiki article for sf dedi servers

[calm patrol]

ahh yep found it, ty!

[nimble cargo]

Hello to all,

We have started a game with friends on a dedicated server and for some time the server has been crashing randomly every 1 to 2 hours... It's very annoying.

Do you have any idea where this can come from?

Thank you very much (here's the log)

[royal copper]

My console has been spamming this on repeat for a few hours...14.01 20:59:43 [Server] INFO [2023.01.14-20.59.43:701][ 1]LogNavigationDirtyArea: Warning: Skipping dirty area creation because of empty bounds (object: FoliageInstancedStaticMeshComponent /Game/FactoryGame/Map/GameLevel01/Tile_X4_Y2.Tile_X4_Y2:PersistentLevel.InstancedFoliageActor_0.FoliageInstancedStaticMeshComponent_52)

[eager marsh]

can i get some help?

[wintry meteor]

whats your problem?

[eager marsh]

so i paid for server and i cant get it to authenticate

server name pending not authenticated

thats what it says

[wintry meteor]

how long have you waited

[eager marsh]

25 mins

[wintry meteor]

have you restarted the server

[eager marsh]

yes

i bought threw nitado is that bad?

[wintry meteor]

most DS hosts are not good atm, not sure about specific ones

if you have the hardware to host on your own device that is recommended

[eager marsh]

and the satisfactory tool wont work either

[wintry meteor]

the steam tool?

there are other ways to go about it

check out the wiki article on DSs

[eager marsh]

ive been trying it makes no sence

[wintry meteor]

which part doesnt make sense

[eager marsh]

the steam tool does not work and the thing they had me download didnt either

im so confused

[wintry meteor]

which thing they had you download

[eager marsh]

some other steam tool

[wintry meteor]

steamCMD?

[eager marsh]

yep

[wintry meteor]

ah ok

where did you get stuck?

[eager marsh]

it opens then closes

[wintry meteor]

yeah ok

what steps have you taken

like what specific step are you stuck at

[eager marsh]

i get it open then it just closes

[wintry meteor]

thats not what im asking

how did you get where you are

what commands did you run

what steps did you take

[eager marsh]

i down load cmd and open it thats all i can do

it closes right after

[wintry meteor]

yeah i know

how did you install cmd

once you installed it what did you do after that

[eager marsh]

the websight clicked it in wiki

it finaly opened

where to i find steam.exe file

[wintry meteor]

probably here C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer

[eager marsh]

force install dir <directory>

whats that mean

[wintry meteor]

it just forces the install directory of the server to be different than default

like the file where it goes will change

[eager marsh]

ok

i ended up using a video i found im dislexic so word no voice good haha

[eager marsh]

im at starting the sever theres no video for that haha i dont understand could i get more assistance

[wintry meteor]

yeah sure

so you have it fully installed?

[eager marsh]

i belive so

[wintry meteor]

ok do you know where it is installed

[eager marsh]

in a folder i made

[wintry meteor]

awesome

so open up a command line in windows

[eager marsh]

huh pretend your talking to a stupid person please haha

[wintry meteor]

no no thats fair

i didnt know any of this a few months ago i feel you

[eager marsh]

theres nothing in my file tho

[wintry meteor]

ah ok

so you still need to install the server itself?

and also could you maybe try with the server that you can download on Epic? that might work

[eager marsh]

ill try im on steam

[wintry meteor]

it wont matter (hopefully)

i gtg eat dinner, but when i get back i can help further

[eager marsh]

could we call possibly

i might have found the files haha

[wintry meteor]

It'll be a bit, but once I'm back sure

[eager marsh]

thank you

[wintry meteor]

alright i need a few mins to warm my hands up, would you be ready for a call in like 15 mins @eager marsh?

[eager marsh]

rodger

[vague vale]

As a client, I'm crashing a TON whenever encountering aliens. This usually kills me while the game is crashing/reloading, and leading to a longgggg walk back to my body. Scared to explore more of the world and look for HDDs.

Anyone else having this issue?

[viscid pawn]

Yes! It doesn't seem consistent as far as I can tell other than there a creature nearby

But even then it's not every time

[calm patrol]

yes we had this problem also, but once I turned the creatures to passive we haven't had any crashes due to creatures

[novel yarrow]

Occured one per ~20-30 HDDs, 2 players.

[carmine pebble]

Hi

I reinstall my dedicated server to do some update and I got some error in the console.
My server is on Windows.

The first error is this one

[2023.01.15-14.13.45:599][655]LogGenericPlatformMisc: Error: SetEnvironmentVar not implemented for this platform: SteamAppId = 526870

I don't have steam installed on this server except steamcmd
so it should not display that error

And I have a second problem
My client is seeing the server offline after 5 minutes of doing noting

route from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx hasn't been used in more than 300 seconds closing it

[wintry meteor]

not sure about that first issue

the second one is a very easy fix

add another server to your server list and give it a fake IP address, then click on that one and click back to the server you want to join and it'll refresh

alternatively, you can also just restart your game

[carmine pebble]

nice idea

[wintry meteor]

not my own idea lol just how i fixed it

got told about it in here awhile ago

very useful trick

[carmine pebble]

I found on the Wiki that we can play more than 4 players by changing a value but I don't find the config file
did you know where it is?

[wintry meteor]

its in the .ini files, not the config

search *.ini, i believe its in the game one

[carmine pebble]

I have two CrashReportClient.ini
and one Manifest.ini

[wintry meteor]

you should have like allllll of these

[wintry meteor]

are you on windows?

[carmine pebble]

yes

[wintry meteor]

you sure you dont have FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\?

[carmine pebble]

Yes I'm sure

I don't know how the server can run without it

[wintry meteor]

well

i guess make that file

create the .ini file

and go from there

[eager marsh]

i didnt haveit till i redid the hole thing again

[oak mortar]

Yoo I'm having a massively tough time getting this dedicated server going

I have attempted to use both steamcmd AND the gui version and both just aren't working. I know this isn't helpful but any advice that I could be doing something wrong? I've already read through the wiki page and followed it through and i don't seem to be experiencing anything that has been noted

[wintry meteor]

windows?

[oak mortar]

thats the one

[oak mortar]

I'm not getting this dir created

[oak mortar]

ok the dir is now being created but all ini files are empty

[desert walrus]

Did you follow the setup guide on the wiki @oak mortar

[oak mortar]

yes

[quartz bramble]

start the server once and it may create the ini stuff it needs

thats usually how it works in my experience

[nimble cargo]

Good evening to all,

I apologize for re-launching my request but I must admit that this problem disgusts me a little of the game ... We have this problem even after several restarts or resets of the server before sending our backup
Can someone help me?

Thank you for your help

[quartz bramble]

wdym "the wipe we always have crashes."

do you mean the save?

[nimble cargo]

No, sorry if I misspoke. (English is not my native language)

I was talking about reinstalling the whole server and reloading our save on it

[marsh dew]

What are your specs? CPU type and usage?

Do you have an actual dedi or are you renting from a gaming provider?

[nimble cargo]

This is a server rental from indifferentbroccoli.com, I'm looking for the server specifications but for the moment I can't find

[marsh dew]

Sorry for late response, I got caught up in something as soon as I pinged you. The issue you’re going to encounter when hosting with a provider is that they more than likely over allocate their servers to too many customers. If I had to guess your server only has 2-4GB of ram and the CPU is being shared among many other people. It’s much better to get an actual server with dedicated resources. I tried 3 different server providers before I just decided to throw the game server on a spare server of mine and since then I’ve had zero issues beyond basic Satisfactory MP bugs.

If you can afford it I recommend getting a real dedi. Maybe a VPS would work, but I recommend minimum 8GB RAM. Also SSD storage

I run it on a E3-1270v3 with 32 GB RAM and SSD. Bare metal, so 100% of resources go to the game server. Not a single crash since I started doing it this way, I auto restart every 12 hours.

[wispy oracle]

I'm hosting a server on a VM in my home lab, and I'm trying to find a Discord bot that can report the current server status, mainly whether the Satisfactory server is running or not. The VM itself never crashes, but the Satisfactory server intermittently does, and most often when applying textures to foundations, so I wanted to be able to have the Discord bot to tell people whether or not It is up or down(restarting). I have it set to run as a service on Ubuntu so it will auto-restart if it crashes.

[wintry meteor]

i wish there was a way to do that easily... there is nothing prebuilt to do something like this, so while i believe it could be possible, you would have to code it from scratch afaik

[near rapids]

Could probably use something like https://github.com/mgerb/ServerStatus

[ivory spear]

hi all

i have a quick but probably hard to estimate question for y'all running dedicated server

can you give me a guestimate about the bandwidth running one consumes?

if you could give me some inknling about what its like per player in shared worlds on order of kilobyte or megabyte etc, i'm just curious about it in napkin math approximations

[novel yarrow]

Does this help? Single session.

[nimble cargo]

No worries, thanks for your quick answer 🙂

I'll see if I can switch to one of the two solutions you mentioned. Thanks a lot, at least I know where the problem comes from

[quasi cliff]

fellas, im having many crashes. and also, last two crashed caused my body to be just offline

one body is revivable, and the other one just sits there sipping coffee. cant hit it

wtf do i do

shitton of gear on both of them

[royal warren]

simplest answer is to save edit the gear you lost back to your character. there is an online editor that's pretty slick. Satisfactory calculator

to my knowledge the "ghost" character, is essentially an immortal object. i have tried everything short of nuking to kill them and get their loot

[quasi cliff]

i would very much rather not cheat

[near rapids]

Reload previous save files if available

[royal warren]

then its all gon

i have seen a weird potential fix.

after a specific crash/ghosting event, I have downloaded the save from my dedicated server and played it locally. When i played it locally i ended up spawning as the ghost character and having all my things. i was able to drop everything off in a box.
Then, i re-upped the save file to dedicated and when i logged in, i was back to playing the second character with the "ghost"/single player character being removed

[quasi cliff]

hmm... ill give it a sho

shot

how do i stop the damn presents from falling? shit is extremely annoying

[granite lynx]

It's possible to run satisfactory servers on bare metal?

[wintry meteor]

yep

[wintry meteor]

theres a command you can find on the wiki to disable ficsmas (you will need to restart the server afterwards)

[marsh dew]

Yes, with steamcmd or the Epic version.

[granite lynx]

are you sure thats bare metal?

oh nvm i misunderstood

ive only ever heard of bare metal in the context of running code without an OS, didnt know it means something different in regards to servers

[marsh dew]

Ye I just meant running the game server without a hypervisor of any sort

[granite lynx]

yea i googled it and saw that. it also means running a program on hardware without an os so i was flabbergasted when u said u ran ur server on bare metal

[sage oriole]

Hey all! having issues on multiplayer, dedicated server, with train stations. I place a train station, it shows on dead center of map. This is not allowing the trains to run on auto. Any known fixes?

[quasi cliff]

i think the server gods have something against me personally....

i keep crashing RIGHT NEXT TO THE DAMN ENEMIES

[wintry meteor]

known issue, try making the enemies be on passive mode

[brittle vigil]

same with multiplayer

[harsh garden]

Anyone got a good host I should use?

[steep jetty]

like a program for you to host or pay for a dedicated server each month

i host my own using AMP

[harsh garden]

Pay to host

[harsh garden]

My pc isn’t good enough

[steep jetty]

you can check out Nitrado and gportal they have 10 slot servers for 14-16 for 30 days

[near rapids]

No way those slots can handle that amount of people, probably doesn't have more than 6gig ram

[royal warren]

my satisfactory server is sitting at 11GB so yeah prob not

[burnt pendant]

Whats that>

?*

[steep jetty]

its a program that does all the back end setup for you

you pay once to use it

[burnt pendant]

I see

[steep jetty]

i had a really ahrd time doing the back end work for it and it wasnt connecting right and it really helped

server has been up for almost 300 hours

[burnt pendant]

I see

How much is it?

[novel yarrow]

AMP Professional - 5 Instances
One-time Payment - Approx 10 USD/9.5 EUR

AMP Network Edition - 50 Instances
One-time Payment - Approx 40 USD/36 EUR

Sarman if you are on Linux/your server is on Linux check out lgsm

[halcyon glen]

Hi!
I do have a problem with my dedicated server on my debian 20.06 machine. I installed it via LinuxGMS and it runs "perfectly exept that I cannot connect to the game. I can interact with the server via the server manager, but when it comes to joining the game, the following connection timeout error occours:

I've already increased InitialConnectTimeout and ConnectionTimeout to 300, but that doesn't help.

Does anyone of you have an idea how to fix that?

Thanks in advance 😉
Simon

Forgot the error 🤦

wtf don't ask me how, but I wanted to reproduce the error and it worked 🤷‍♂️

[unborn lantern]

I am working on a TCAdmin 2 template and I've managed to get a lot of work done, but I am trying to make a working query, what data can be extracted (current players, hostname etc) and can this be done either in ironpython or javascript? thanks in advanced

[summer quartz]

Hey. Is there a bug known, leading to randomly crash dedicated server when changing foundation material?

[wintry meteor]

had a similar thing, it might be rain crashing but not 100% sure

[unborn lantern]

what's your servers log saying on crash?

[unborn lantern]

do you have the Ficsmas event enabled?

[summer quartz]

yes

it's connected to event?

[unborn lantern]

add -DisableSeasonalEvents to your startup command and see how that fairs

the packages caused a lot of issues on my servers

most people opted to disable

[summer quartz]

ok I'll try that. thanks 🙂

[unborn lantern]

[spice hinge]

Hey, I know this request might come often but I'd love someone to explain me how to set up a dedicated server playing on Epic Games (especially how the dedicated server tool on epic games works)
Thx in advance :3

[wintry meteor]

most of what you need should be here https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

if you have further questions after going through those steps go ahead and ask

[spice hinge]

I have to portforward right ?

because i can't portforward numbers under 16384

how do i portforward it then ?

Can I change ports 15777 15000 and 7777 to other numbers ?

[primal flint]

Hey group, any known tips / tricks for getting outside connection to a dedicated server? Game runs fine with connecting via a Private (internal) connection. But anything from the outside simply just doesn't successfully connect. Ports are open, Port forwarding should be proper, but no success from any public connections.

I've been through a number of forums, blogs, video's etc, they all don't seem to offer anything outside of the typical setup.

[wintry meteor]

which IP are you using

are you forwarding to the correct device

[primal flint]

having outside connection use my pubic IP and yes the port is forwarded to the proper device.

I'm using the standard 15777 port. not seeing anything that suggests not to do that

[wintry meteor]

you have all 3 necessary ports forwarded?

[primal flint]

indeed

15777, 7777, and 15000

[wintry meteor]

is there an error message we can look at?

[primal flint]

I didn't get one, but its the simple error on my friends side that simply states "it cannot find the server"

[remote tulip]

Did you forward on pc and router udp and tcp

[primal flint]

Yes

[remote tulip]

Other games currently running on the same ports?

[primal flint]

nope, its a fresh install of windows with no other games installed

I actually tried on two different PC's both with no luck

[remote tulip]

can you host a game on pc-ingame and they connect?

[primal flint]

I can connect to the game via my private network on another PC. --> Server is running on 1 PC, Game is installed on a gaming PC that can connect successful. Plays just fine, connects perfectly.

[remote tulip]

i'm almost certain its ports

[primal flint]

thats my thought as well. looked at them 10000 times

[remote tulip]

if your ok with a call i can share my pc and router port config

[primal flint]

but can't think of whatelse. I've even disabled windows firewall just to help

Oh yeah that would be totally fine

[remote tulip]

go ahead and call me

[muted schooner]

@primal flint were you able to get it resolved?

Im having a similar issue.. just setup a dedicated server through apex hosting.. my friend is able to join no problem.. I was able to join once earlier after refreshing a bunch.. now Im not able to connect.. I get "Could not connect to the server." or occasionally a timeout message.. I have great internet and a beastly rig. Not sure whats going on

[sturdy mica]

Hi all, got a dedicated server on a cloud vps (8 Vcpu / 30G ram). We experience now serious lag, crash and particulary regular rollback / freeze. Is this a normal issue because it's an alpha or is there some tweaks I could use , especially for avoiding rollbacks ? (we are 3 on the game).

[novel yarrow]

No. Your VPS is likely being shared with other VPSes running on the same host.

[spice hinge]

Hey guys sorry to ask again but how do I port forward ports if it tells me i can't portforward under a certain number? (it doesnt accept the ports that is needed)

[wintry meteor]

are you using your internal IP address?

[hollow atlas]

Generally speaking only ports below 1024 are considered "privileged" and require root access (which isn't recommended). The SF dedi server ports are not in that range, where exactly are you getting that error?

[spice hinge]

I can't portforward under 16384

[spice hinge]

I'm having it when trying to portforward on my free app (freebox, i'm in France)

[hollow atlas]

Hm, can't say I'm familiar with freebox. So wouldn't be of much help there. Nor does my google yield any results about it :p

[spice hinge]

Thx anyways 🙂

I saw that i have to go with an IPv4 Full Stack, is this the thing to do? It will not cause any issues with my network?

Or is there a way to redirect the satis ports to ports above 16384?

[hollow atlas]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Configuration

Yep! You can just set the ports freely

[spice hinge]

Thx you so much for your help 🙂
And sorry for asking so many questions but it will not cause any issues at all?

[hollow atlas]

Shouldn't cause issues, can't say I've tried myself.

[spice hinge]

Thx!

[spice hinge]

How many players can join a dedicated server ?

[desert walrus]

4 by default but you can fo more with a configuration edit

[spice hinge]

I tried redirecting game port but it doesn't work, can someone explain me how to do it plz ?
(I went to my start.bat file and added -port=16384 , then i portforwarded port 16384 did I do something wrong ?)

[desert walrus]

I'd read up on the wiki, the game uses multiple ports and that command may not change the game port

!wikisearch dedicated+server

[hushed gate]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Search?query=dedicated+server

[spice hinge]

I think i found what I was looking for 🙂 thx

[desert walrus]

Yep, np

[spice hinge]

Okay i did everything the site told me, but I now have another issue:
My friend can't join the server, it tells him "This Server Appears To Be Offline", while my server console displays so it detects that he wants to join

And i just got an error too

[desert walrus]

That's weird, that error says IsServer: NO

[wintry meteor]

there are some easy fixes iirc, Google the error message

[acoustic glacier]

[frail hare]

how to change server type from private to friends only in satisfactory

[desert walrus]

If it's a dedicated server that setting has no effect

[frail hare]

it has effect because i cant invite my friends

[desert walrus]

You don't invite your friends to a dedicated server like you would a mp session

[frail hare]

so wait how can i play with my friends?

[desert walrus]

Do you just want to have them join you when you're online or do you want to have a dedicated server that's always on

[wintry meteor]

they have to use your external ipv4 address

[frail hare]

we will play when we all online so i think when i am online

[desert walrus]

In that case you don't really need a dedicated server

[frail hare]

oh ok Thanks!

[desert walrus]

Just do a normal multiplayer session

[frail hare]

And if i want to use the dedicated server do you know how i can change it?

I already downloaded and started the server so i dont want to uninstall it XD

[desert walrus]

If you want to set up a dedicated server there's a great guide on the wiki

!wikisearch dedicated+server

[hushed gate]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Search?query=dedicated+server

[frail hare]

I just did but my friends cant join it

[wintry meteor]

it's a lot of effort for no bonus

just uninstall it lol

[muted schooner]

Sorry not sure what you mean, we setup a server through a hosting provider.

[wintry meteor]

ah ok nvm then

[mental fulcrum]

Is there a bug causing crashes on dedicated servers when you encounter certain creatures? It seems like every time any of us encounters a hostile creature at certain points, the client crashes. This causes the character to sometimes die because the creature continues to attack.

[wintry meteor]

yes

turn mobs to passive mode

[mental fulcrum]

Ok cool I’ll give it a try. It’s very annoying when people constantly die because the client crashes 😭😭

[mental fulcrum]

Is this a client setting or a setting I can change on the server? Or do I have to start a new save?

[wintry meteor]

should be client iirc

advanced game settings

[mental fulcrum]

Found it thank you

Does every client need to do this?

[wintry meteor]

not sure tbh

[novel yarrow]

Yes

[mental fulcrum]

Thank you

[fathom stag]

Did you get this worked out?

[muted schooner]

I am still experiencing a very similar issue. I can refresh a bunch and Ill occasionally get luck and itll load and I can join and play no problem.. but its like 1 out of every 20 tries and I occasionally have to restart the game because itll get stuck on "Server offline".

[plush cedar]

Can we change our server time to get back into the FICSMAS season event ? Will it work, any side effects we should be aware of ?

[fathom stag]

When did it stop? My server last night still had presents everywhere.. was kinda excited to not see them anymore.. but they are still there.

[mental birch]

does production keep working if no one is connected to a 24/7 server?

[plush cedar]

yes ? that's the point of a server set for 24/7. It's my understanding you can set your server to pause after the last player disconnected (I guess that saves CPU / electricity)

[mental birch]

Thank you!

[plush cedar]

yesteday afternoon, all presents have stopped paradropping and spawning from trees, and all receipes have disappeared from the menus as well as MAM research tree for FICSMAS stuff.

[novel yarrow]

18th Jan is end date of Ficmas event. Probably all my smart splitters are no longer recognising these xmas items too..

[plush cedar]

Hence my question : can we change server date to get some more of those items and complete the research ?

[novel yarrow]

If I remember correctly, accidentaly set "wrong" date may re-enable it. I see only *FG.DisableSeasonalEvents 1 *as an option for dedics which disable this globally.

[novel yarrow]

Yes, production keeps going as long You handle stable power and incoming source resources. All my DSes still produces goods, keep overflow belts set to sink.

[floral trellis]

hello,how do i play multiplayer?

@turbid python read this guide:

!wikisearch dedicated+server

[hushed gate]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Search?query=dedicated+server

[turbid python]

yea already saw

[muted schooner]

Still getting this trying to join my Apex Hosting dedicated server:

I tried increasing the time in the engine.ini but it still cuts off at 30.. regardless my friend has no problems and server info loads instantaneously when clicking server

[wheat jackal]

Patch, Add this to your game.ini

InitialConnectTimeout=180.0
ConnectionTimeout=120.0

[novel yarrow]

To add a note - it helps when large save is loaded or server is a bit slow. I have this set to 300.0.

[unborn lantern]

can anyone spare the time?

[novel yarrow]

I'm not monitoring servers this way; I'm monitoring entire VM status, load, disk space, etc.
As additional feature TCP or UDP port status can be added.
So simply I cannot help You.

[unborn lantern]

Understood, I know that the query port gives some limited information but I just wanted to find out exactly what. Once I have a better guide, I hope to add it to the tcadmin 2 template I've made so server querying can help identify crashes and use automated scripts like steam update when the server knows no one is connected. that kinda thing

hopefully making server administration easier for all as the template is of course free to use

[novel yarrow]

Thank You for Your work.

Hi, I have a problem deploying the satisfactory server on my own (physical) server with docker.
I am using the image: wolveix/satisfactory-server:latest.
I think the problem has occurred since the update to satisfactory version 7, but I'm not sure.
It's work well few month ago but now I recreate a new server it didn't work.
Some use this image too or not ?

[near rapids]

I'm currently using it

[analog mortar]

I've recreate the server from zero, I tried to recreate the container again and again but nothing the server don't want to start

[near rapids]

What's your startup command? Did you set config path?

[analog mortar]

docker compose up -d thats all

yeah ofc

It work fine before

So I don't understand

[near rapids]

I'm not using compose tho

[analog mortar]

i've try everything switching from docker to classic but i can't get it working
Except this morning when i loaded an old save

And my friend can connect but not me :c

[novel yarrow]

It's SSL handshake error somewhere on device on Your site eg. software router; or ISP itself. Try the same thing via standard LTE internet sharing?

[lavish grove]

yup ive tried

using lte and h

i am pretty sure that if i load an old save it will work 😢

but after some time il will not work

[near rapids]

Dumb idea but maybe try to load save single player and then load it back on server?

[wide sky]

Hello everyone, I was running from some enemies and I think enough spawned in to make me DC while I was low health. When I reconnected I found my "Dead Offline Player" in the general area that I died.

I revived it, and it was sitting down drinking coffee while sliding fast.

But I cannot loot it, or log back in as that character, how can I fix this?

I am looking at "me"

[near rapids]

Can try to load previous save before crash happened

[wide sky]

By the time I learned what the issue was, our backup saves overwrote since the occurance happened

So this entity/offline player is now in the game. We tried killing it.

I didn't have that much on me, but I worry about the degradation of the server if this continues

[novel yarrow]

Have You disabled built-in router ?

[novel yarrow]

The simplest method is immediately after such event load autosave. If it's too late or too much effort, load save on SCIM and remove oprhaned players, then upload save again onto DS.

[lavish grove]

yup ive tried

don't work sadly

[wide sky]

What's a SCIM?

[lavish grove]

using -DisablePacketRouting ? yup ive tried but same problem

[solar garden]

Satisfactory Calculator Interactive Map

windows or linux based servers debating on switching

[wintry meteor]

need more info than that to say which is best for you

[desert walrus]

Linux is faster 🤷‍♂️

[wintry meteor]

but also more of a pain to use

there and pros and cons to both

[novel yarrow]

I've tested both, finds out Linux binary is faster by 10-12% on the same hardware.

[steep jetty]

i have an older cpu so im wondering if ill benefit

[novel yarrow]

The test was performed on Xeon E5-1650v2, its an older CPU.

[steep jetty]

i work in IT and they were recycling old intelnucs mine has 32gb ram and an intel i5

they come with 16 but i took 16 from another and made it 32

[steep jetty]

call me a newb can i still connect to a linux server using windows pc to play the game

[wintry meteor]

yes

[steep jetty]

Sorry I just don’t know compatibility’s with games sometimes I work in IT but some questions I ask you couldn’t tell lol

Those who run linux based servers which distro do you use im seeing Debian

[novel yarrow]

Debian standalone, CentOS 7 cluster, Ubuntu Server lomg term VM

[wintry meteor]

i main ubuntu server os

[mild mortar]

restart the host server, go back to where they died and body should be there. either as a chest or as an offline player. if offline player, smack it like a piñata until you get a chest.

[odd pawn]

I have a really simple question, how do I get the satisfactory dedicated server tool to show up in a steam library if I don't own the game on that account?

[trim hearth]

has anyone made/know of an optimization guide for dedi servers? stuff i have found is not overly recent, and i haven't seen much of an increase in stability around it.

[novel yarrow]

One of best I've found so far, but not all settings adjusted: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=english&id=2356992556

[wide sky]

This is the solution, but there is a twist. What is important is if you revive the offline player, they will look like they run off and you are inclined to chase them... do not. Their player location is still where the body originally was. I think this because eventually the body bugged a second time and remained at the original death location and we were able to kill it.

[mossy sierra]

anything to be worried about?

[modern pebble]

hi, some one can help me with this error?
the cmd close after tks

[mild mortar]

right, go back to where they died. when they go scooting off it is quite hilarious though. 🙂

[mild mortar]

thanks for this, this crash has been driving me absolutely crazy.

[novel yarrow]

Where the hell had Kad disappeared?

[civic lantern]

That looks like a slightly damaged save file. If you upload it to SCIM and re download it might be healed

[desert walrus]

He got into trouble in #off-topic-tech, haven't see him since

I think he left

[undone sky]

he did

[novel yarrow]

Did he left or received "award" ban ?

[undone sky]

i don't think he got banned as i can't find a message froma mod banning him

unless it was in a hidden channel

but the thing in #off-topic-tech was cleaned up by baine and i don't think he issued any bans - just warned that he would if it continued

but kad is no longer in the server

so he either left or was banned

afaik he left

[wintry meteor]

😦 i liked Kad

whatd they do?

[undone sky]

get linked a link to a link

tl;dr is there was a discussion that went for many hours and had lots of topics, but included Kad saying the n word (from the rest of their messages its pretty clear they are white), Kad claiming that the center right is the best place in politics because it logically makes sense, and ofc Kad getting banned

I've been an objectivist asshat... in high school. Banned, or gathered the remainder of his dignity and left? It's not like he's dead. Anyone who wants to know can reach out to him over DM

Can I just take a moment to complain about how blueprints are handled on servers?

[wintry meteor]

I've been an objectivist asshat... in high school
yeah pretty much lol... although they did claim they arent a teen...

[wintry meteor]

go for it lol

[civic lantern]

It's going to be a wide ranging bitchfest. I would like to refine it into a detailed suggestion/bug report on the QA site, but I feel since blueprints shipped they've had plenty of opportunity to rethink it.

While I'm tilting at windmills, any hope to improve the bug reporter to have a checkbox? "Attach my save file to this report". Would make it so much better

[wintry meteor]

oh and before you go off

i would like to say, blueprints are really nice

[civic lantern]

Okay, item 1. Organization. The

[wintry meteor]

but are very flawed

[civic lantern]

Oh yeah

[wintry meteor]

yeah organization is terrible

[civic lantern]

I installed bigger-blueprints mod, and just the mk2 it provides, being 1 foundation bigger in all directions, is such an improvement.

[wintry meteor]

woah yeah that seems nice

close to how factorio does it

mk2-5 would be soooooo nice

[civic lantern]

i think they take it to mk5 which can hold a couple of nuke plants

[wintry meteor]

wow

[civic lantern]

i could stop at mk2 but i doubt i will

it's my other can't live without it mod, other being daisychain everythign

[wintry meteor]

mmm yeah makes sense

[civic lantern]

I'm going to spend time identifying all the ways the interface is janky then report back with notes. maybe this isn't the right channel for it. For the most part, on servers, the fact that the client has the organization but the server has the blueprints, is just baffling. If I load someone else's blueprint, it can be in their organization scheme, I can take care of refiling it

[wintry meteor]

ugh yeah that is a pain

[civic lantern]

on a new server, I have my client's filing scheme with nothing in it. I'm not equipped with several clients, but i suspect each one decides where it's filed?

i guess that kind of makes sense sort of?

Hello, I came for Dedi server help. A friend of mine set up a dedi server for a few friends and the other day I tried to join and I have server name pending, notAuthenticated and it says that it is offline. Does anyone know how i can fix this. AFAIK it is only a me issue

Please ping if any sort of answer =]

[kindred garden]

I've tried looking for my server's save file. It's running on Debian 10.
Server is installed under /home/steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/
Haven't found it yet

[wintry meteor]

it's under /.config

[mighty sun]

does anyone know the answer to this Q? I have treid the internet but found nothing useful. We also established that other can connect to the server but not me

[wintry meteor]

are you using your friends external IP address?

[mighty sun]

yes

I could join and others can join so it isnt an ip, port, or other type of networking error

[desert walrus]

It is on your network

[mighty sun]

is it on my network, no

[wintry meteor]

I could join and others can join so it isnt an ip, port, or other type of networking error
whats the problem then?

if everyone can join what is the problem

[mighty sun]

I could join, cant anymore

[wintry meteor]

have you tried restarting your client

[mighty sun]

i tried restarting, tried readding the server, tried checking integrity of server files, and tried reinstalling the game (twice)

we have tried different things for the past few days but we couldn't figure it out, this is why i decided to ask here

[wintry meteor]

yeah thats pretty frustrating :\

[desert walrus]

No, it is likely an issue with your network configuration, but that shouldn't have changed

[mighty sun]

I didn't change anything so i don't know why it would do that

if anyone has an idea of how to fix this, I would be happy to hear it

just ping me =]

[river yew]

Hmm. I'm having some consistent crashes.

[desert walrus]

Crash log?

Probably rain

[royal warren]

id be curious if the server log's show your ping attempt or not.

You say other people besides the host can connect? Makes me think that your local firewall/ router firewall might be blocking ports. I believe you when you say you didnt change anything, but cant hurt to double check?

Can you join your friends by joining their in game session instead of using the server manager?

[odd pawn]

i am having the same issue as the guy above. i started a server and i can join and play but my friends game says server name unavailable and not authenticated. i have all of the ports forwarded and the firewall set to allow the server exe through.

[covert shore]

hello on my dedicated server when I put a conveyor it stays blue and does everything bug

[novel yarrow]

Check Your memory usage, fist guess.

@odd pawn @mighty sun Have You tried -DisablePacketRouting or -multihome=IP ?

Please deploy Your dedicated servers on hardware that meets minimum practical requirement: 4c/vCPU, 12GB RAM, 10-20GB space. NAT forward all 3 ports. Then try again, it will solve most of the problems.

Client itself doesn't need that much, 3-6GB RAM depends on save size.

[covert shore]

what is this ?

[odd pawn]

I ended up getting it to work. Was a stupid mistake on my part. I was giving the ip of my pc to my friend and not the router ip. Just had to google what is my ip and got the right one.

[woeful citrus]

Hey everyone. Im hosting my server for a while now +2700 hours without big problems. Recently i saw a setting in the config filles as resolution, viewing distance etc. Does these settings effect the quality of my server. And yes how do they effect the client and server?

[river yew]

Sorry, I didn’t check back (went to bed). It’s a memory address error.

Iirc it spits out 0x00000000003 or similar, but I’m at work right now

[near rapids]

Hostile creatures?

[desert walrus]

Oh yeah, that's either hostile creatures or rain

[river yew]

Oh?

Again I’m at work. I’ll look for the log after work 🙂

[pliant maple]

does anyone have a server to play on, i love this game but its so much more fuin with friens

[river yew]

#looking-for-group-old

[civic lantern]

I was thinking to put together a session of Blastroid's House

^

[pliant maple]

idek what that is lmao

[civic lantern]

Blastroid puts the "fun" in satisfunctory. author of battleship, satisfactory death quiz, and blastroid's house. https://www.youtube.com/@blastroid7444

[pliant maple]

jeez this guy made a lot of shit

[civic lantern]

and it helps that it's hilarious. I learned so much about what you can do with signs

[pliant maple]

i might watch, im just in me and my friends world rn while he's off so kinda bored

[civic lantern]

if you're on a server, you can upload new saves and swap over to it

doesn't damage the old one

[pliant maple]

its not a sevrer sadly, we just share saves with each other

[fleet silo]

how can I kill him and get its inventory?

[wintry meteor]

just attack them

[cyan matrix]

Try save the file then restart the server?

[wintry meteor]

you have to edit one of the .ini files

4 players is the max by default

[novel yarrow]

Default limit of 4 players has been reached. You'll need to edit Engine.ini and add maxplayers setting, then restart the server

[wintry meteor]

server side

[novel yarrow]

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=X

sorry, Game.ini

[tacit escarp]

is network quality being read from a different place now? in GameUserSettings.ini I have mNetworkQuality=3 but when I use fg.NetworkQuality in the server console is reads as 1

[wintry meteor]

that gets overridden pretty sure

[tacit escarp]

hmm okay, I can verify this by gracefully shutting down the server right? then it should write the overridden values back to file ?

[compact inlet]

hi there - what would cause my dedicated server to save games to %localappdata%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames{steam_user_id} instead of %localappdata%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server ?
I previously had Steam installed on this PC, but have only used the dedicated server install via steamcmd, and even after uninstalling steam entirely and uninstalling/re-installing dedicated server via steamcmd entirely... the dedicated server still saves into the folder with my uuid instead of "server"

edit: I'm guessing this is driven by the presence of Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Coffee Stain Studios\FactoryGame\steam_LastLoginId REG_SZ value?
