dedicated-servers

[clear lagoon]

Not really sure what this could be. Since the 5900X is a dual CCD CPU I'm tempted to say to pin the game process to a single CCD to test if it makes performance more consistent.

You forwarded UDP proto? Did you keep the external and internal port the same? Is the internal IP correct?

[wicked hatch]

It's only using 5% of the cpu and isnt going over 8gb of ram. So I'm not sure

[clear lagoon]

If you're looking in task manager, right click and set the graph to display per processor core. You're probably maxing out a single core.

[wicked hatch]

checked that its not only using around 25% of each core

thats the reason i thought it might be ram but thanks for helping :)

[clear lagoon]

The workload is mostly single threaded. What kind of cpu are you running the server on?

[wicked hatch]

i5 12500h

[wicked hatch]

it barely uses any resources but still lags loads (its not my internet)

[obsidian iron]

All correct, I can even send you the ports I put in. Not working on my buddies end

[limber gazelle]

Is your buddy using your right external ip address. Many isp’s change it all the time

[obsidian iron]

I’m very positive, is it the IPv4 or 6 I give him?

Because I tried both and it didn’t work

[clear lagoon]

are you running the game and server on the same pc or on separate pcs?

if you can you should try connecting from a separate pc. if it works, then the issue is in your port forwarding. if it doesn't, you forgot to setup firewall rules

also just to make sure because I can't remember... do you have -multihome= configured in your launch parameters?

[obsidian iron]

I’m running all on the same pc

Cus I’m stupid

[obsidian iron]

I might have

[spare orbit]

kekw

ture

[clear lagoon]

flase 😂

[spare orbit]

same, just saw it

easter egg?

[clear lagoon]

or trying to avoid type coercion

who knows?

[obsidian iron]

What would I need to put in firewall? I need to make sure it matches up correctly

[clear lagoon]

a rule for udp port inbound 7777, a rule for udp port inbound 15000, a rule for udp port inbound 15777. same as the port forwarding

[obsidian iron]

Ok

I’ll send a screenshot of how I did it…

https://youtu.be/aaD-ZiW9Fac

I did everything based off this video

My router is att so

[dire geyser]

you can download the dedicated server on steam

instead of using steamcmd

its much easier

its under tools

[obsidian iron]

I own the game on epic. Unless it’s free

[dire geyser]

its free

on epic also

[obsidian iron]

Oh word

[dire geyser]

it makes installation much easier

you just download it

and its basically ready to go

all you have to do is connect to it via the server manager in the actual game

[obsidian iron]

I just can’t figure out why my homie can’t join

Unless I didn’t do port forwarding right

[dire geyser]

Are you on windows or linux?

if you are on windows, then you need to allow the game through windows firewall

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound ports" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 15000,15777,7777

you can paste that into powershell

to allow the ports for you

[obsidian iron]

Windows

I’ll try that when I get home, I went to my router and put this in

Port: 15777
Range: 15777 - 15777
Protocol: TCP/UDP
Port: 15000
Range: 15000-15000
Protocol: TCP/UDP
Port: 7777
Range: 7777-7777
Protocol: TCP/UDP
Port: 27015
Range: 27031-27036
Protocol: TCP/UDP

This is on my Att modem

I’m not sure if this makes sense ahhahaha

[dire geyser]

you have port forwarded correctly

they are open

you can check if they are open by using an open port tool

[clear lagoon]

protocol can be udp only... it doesn't bind on tcp so you're exposing those ports unnecessarily

[obsidian iron]

When my buddy puts in the ip through the server manger it’s offline for him but mine is online and I can connect

[clear lagoon]

is the internal ip correct in the port forwarding config?

[obsidian iron]

I believe so

[clear lagoon]

and obviously windows firewall as mentioned

[obsidian iron]

Explain to me like I’m 5

[dire geyser]

to allow him to connect

its completely free

and doesnt require you to open any ports

[obsidian iron]

Is there no way without using it

[dire geyser]

well yeah there is

but using radmin is just easier in my opinion

its what me and my friend use

it works perfectly

[clear lagoon]

I suggest against establishing a VPN between you and your friend using a free service because you're essentially punching a hole through all firewalls between you and your friend. use at your own risk ^^

[obsidian iron]

Wont it slow down internet speeds ingame

[dire geyser]

actually no

[dire geyser]

its not a "vpn"

it just connects my friends network to my network

because he cant port forward

so he uses my network to port forward

[clear lagoon]

congrats, you just described what a vpn is

[obsidian iron]

I’m gonna try this when I get home

If it don’t work

[dire geyser]

congrats, i didnt ask

[dire geyser]

it should work

[obsidian iron]

Do I just slap it into power shell

[dire geyser]

yes

you just paste it in there

and run it

[obsidian iron]

And do I give my buddy the IPv4 or IPv6 address to connect?

Got it

[dire geyser]

either

[clear lagoon]

ipv4

[obsidian iron]

Ok

[dire geyser]

both should work either way

[clear lagoon]

no

[dire geyser]

yes

[clear lagoon]

literally no

[dire geyser]

literally yes

i'm a sys admin

lmao

you dont think i know how this works

[clear lagoon]

if it's ipv6 he'd need to open the ports in the router firewall, remove the multihome parameter he has setup, and then pray to the stars it works because ipv6 doesn't work half of the time with ue5

[dire geyser]

its more than possible to connect to the server via ipv6

is what i was saying

[clear lagoon]

it works well if you configure it for ipv6 exclusively, yes

[dire geyser]

well obviously

i can confirm tho

ipv6 does not work half the time

with UE5

[clear lagoon]

if you're a sysadmin you should know how downright terrible an idea it is to establish a VPN between two home networks on which most likely neither side has any security installed beyond what a normal home user would have

[dire geyser]

i use pfsense as my firewall that has multiple layers of protection against anything

my friend also uses pfsense

it ensures a encrypted connection between us

[clear lagoon]

your vpn passes through the pfsense firewall on both sides so pfsense firewall rules don't apply

[obsidian iron]

what if I want the person know where I’m at

[clear lagoon]

vpn packets go from the vpn software on one pc to the vpn software on the other pc. pfsense can only tell they're packets from the vpn, not what their end goal is

[dire geyser]

did you mean to say, if you dont want to know where you are at?

[obsidian iron]

I want the person to know

[dire geyser]

you give them your ipv4

and they can just

[obsidian iron]

yup

[dire geyser]

put it into an ip geolocator

[obsidian iron]

Hey I want free pizzas

[dire geyser]

lol

[clear lagoon]

ip geolocator will just tell you either HQ of or nearest large distribution node of the ISP that owns that IP block in RIPE

[dire geyser]

putting my ipv4 into a geolocator brings up my exact address, so your explanation does not apply here and is not valid.

[clear lagoon]

don't buy your own IP addresses from RIPE and you don't have this issue XD

[dire geyser]

my ipv4 address was given to me

by my isp

lol

just like everyone elses ip

[clear lagoon]

ok then prove it gives an exact address. you can even give me another ipv4 in your address range if you don't trust me with your exact one 😛

[dire geyser]

I am not giving my ipv4 to someone who has no experience whatsoever

that would be completely retarded

and stupid

[clear lagoon]

I did say you can give any other ipv4 in the range of your isp XD

[dire geyser]

no

[clear lagoon]

And excuse me for not having any experience whatsoever. I'm not a sysadmin with a decade of experience like you.

[dire geyser]

ok

[clear lagoon]

I'm just saying I'm not aware enough of any ISP that is dumb enough to publish every single user's address to a public database alongside their IP addresses. In Europe, that would be illegal under GDPR. Not sure where you live tbh

[dire geyser]

somewhere in the US

idk why

but my specific ISP

links your address to the IP

which imo, is not very smart

[clear lagoon]

in a globally publicly accessible database

I'd go with a better ISP imo

[dire geyser]

cant lmao

the only isp that reaches my house

is the one im using

cox.com

[clear lagoon]

looks like the Cox ASN ASN-CXA-ALL-CCI-22773-RDC has their IP blocks addressed to the nearest neighbourhood node and not individual addresses.

considering population density in some areas, it might be unsurprising if the address comes close to or even matches where you live 😛

[dire geyser]

that is no where close to where i live lmao

[clear lagoon]

I just picked one neighbourhood considering the ASN is across most of the globe XD

[obsidian iron]

i tried

and my buddy still cant join

idk what else i would need to do

UNLESS my game port needs to be different

[obsidian iron]

also the 15777 port is still closed

[dire geyser]

it should be fine with the default one

[dire geyser]

what about the other ports?

[obsidian iron]

closed i think

[dire geyser]

did you run that powershell command?

[obsidian iron]

i did

i can run it again

[dire geyser]

it has to be ran as administrator

sorry if i didnt mention that

[obsidian iron]

i sent dm

[hot flame]

What probably actually happened was, you had location sharing on, and the geolocator you were using used THAT (I.E. GPS) to pinpoint your location, and not your IP address which is taken from a pool of IP's that are owned (and further, addressed) at your ISP's headquarters.

[dire geyser]

ty for correcting my mistake

you are correct

i did have my location on

[midnight scroll]

anyone here have experience with AMP?

[deep turret]

is that satisfactory or statisfactory dedicated server ?

[deep turret]

that depends of state regulations, ips in US are pretty fixed and registered everywhere so they can better be scanned

[hot flame]

That doesn't change the fact that the only connection between your address and the DHCP IP you get from your ISP is at the ISP level and not at the IP level. Unless a geolocator is pulling that address info from your ISP, your IP has no connection to your physical address.

[deep turret]

no ip address have absolutly no connection to any location until some databse reference it, first are ofcourse legal databse : so ip ranges per states
then local legal database, some regulations do regional addressing of bunch of addresses
anything else is some location registered in some database for specific addresses range or specific address
and dhcp is just a way physically to obtain the address, it doesnt qualify any address pool, and when as I said, your address is fixed to be better tracked, this dhcp just give you always the same unique address that is the one that was given to you

then any other database can also contain other informations gathered from other origin or entreprise interest built database, that may contain exact locations if any other software with gps has referenced it in such databse
all the database almost always are based on multiple informations ressources unless specifically made to reference only one type of information, such as city official network addresses which then contain ISP city endpoints locations

[hot flame]

none of that has to do with state/federal regulations, or ISP's registering their customer addresses with their IP

[deep turret]

"none of that" I dont know if you are trolling then, but ip addressing is absolutly tied to states/federal regulations

[hot flame]

Maybe we are just misunderstanding one another. I will clarify: The person you replied to was saying that there was no way to get someone's physical address from their IP alone unless the ISP registered the customer's physical address with the IP they assigned to the customer, which they do, but they do not publish this data as it is protected by state and federal laws (in the US). The only way to get someone's physical address from their IP through the ISP (in the US) is to be federal or local law enforcement with a legal warrant for that information.

hopefully that clarifies it - if not, I'll let this line of discussion die because it has nothing to do with dedicated servers.

[deep turret]

and I said that YES it is perfectly possible to get this kind of informations, OFCOURSE not directly from ISP
I said "in the US there are regulations which makes people having a fixed ip so they are very easy to scan"
the databases can get a lot of informations on individual ips because they are fixed, and they are fixed because of US regulations mostly
because it's even easier for the law enforcement organisations then ofcourse

and as I explained private interest databases are based on a lot of different ressources, which may come for example from application using gps to fill these databases

when the ips switch often enough, that accuracy is irrelevant

when it is fixed, it is matching

[hot flame]

Your whole point rests on the fact that you erroneously believe the majority of IP's are fixed because of regulations. They are not. You can force change your IP address any time you want as long as your ISP uses DHCP to assign the IP, unless you specifically ask for a static IP, there is no guarantee that your IP wont change. I am done replying.

[deep turret]

some ISP are also falsely switching ips, allocating only a registered pull of ips, so even when it switch it can be easily deceived by private interested databases that are aware of these artificial limitations

[deep turret]

DHCP is a pratical mechanism to give out ip to hardware, it has literally nothing to do with what we are talking about, whatever the mechanism the ISP is the one regulating it

[hot flame]

That mechanism IS DHCP

[deep turret]

not always

lot of time it's custom tweaked / twisted dhcp btw, but that is not the topic still

[deep turret]

I'm pretty sure it's not that easy everywhere, and you may have at least financial limitations or rate limitations (like an ip change per week)

I dont know where are you are coming from, but if you are not in the US be aware it is not the same everywhere at all
and that was the original point

[deep turret]

tldr : the isp give you the address they want to give you, no matter the mechanism to give it to you

and we are talking about what the isp give you (not how) here

[desert snow]

Hey so, my server non stop has been what I'd called twitching? Both me and another player will have moments when the FPS will drop a tiny bit and just moments where it stutters? This never happens on self hosted games and this is being hosted on a box with a Ryzen 9 5950X, and 128gb of 3200mhz ram

It just seems to be affecting either connection or FPS as when it happens my FPS counter drops each time

[hot flame]

Is it happening when the game saves?

[desert snow]

No

[hot flame]

What kind of storage is the game running from (SSD or HD?)

[desert snow]

SSD

Or should be at least

[hot flame]

Apparantly its a code issue looking through the channel history

[desert snow]

So there's no fix?

[hot flame]

you can search the channel yourself, but not that I can see. I would look over your server logs and see what errors are being thrown. Maybe it is something simple.

[desert snow]

Where would I find the logs

[hot flame]

wherever you configured the server, should be under your saved files

[desert snow]

I've got 2 saved files folders

[hot flame]

\FactoryGame\Saved\Logs is the default

[desert snow]

Got them

I have no idea what I'm reading for errors on in here

[deep turret]

some unrealengine object "instance" warn things maybe

[hot flame]

Look for errors when you are experiencing the stuttering

[desert snow]

I got a bunch of things like mesh's not being supported or something

Would anyone be interested in looking at this log too?

[deep turret]

that's what people gets too when interacting with foundations apparently

[desert snow]

Haven't got any down

This is a brand new save

Everything successfully validated too

[narrow raft]

Second report I'm seeing on rubber banding on an AMD CPU with >1 CCD. If you're feeling experimental you can try pinning the server process to all cores on a single CCD

[deep turret]

Windows issue ?

[narrow raft]

also 3200 MHz RAM will reduce the infinity fabric clock (the die interconnect) which will make cross-CCD operations even more expensive

[deep turret]

how ?

I mean 3200hz is higher

how would it reduce fabric

[narrow raft]

to get top IF speed you need 3600 MHz exactly

clocks on IF match with the memory

[deep turret]

seems like you are talking specific Boards

[narrow raft]

No, specific CPUs

you can look into the multi-die chiplet design of AMD cpus if you like

[deep turret]

not these cpu

[narrow raft]

you have two core complex dies on a 5900x and a 5950x...

[deep turret]

what you say only apply on ryzen 1000 2000 and maybe 3000

[narrow raft]

these two CCDs are connected with infinity fabric which is a branded die interconnect

[deep turret]

ryzen 5000 fabric is not tied to ram clock

[narrow raft]

the die interconnect clocks are dependent on the RAM clocks, also on 5000 series and also still on 7000 series CPUs.... IF 1:1 on 7000 series is at 6000 MHz fyi

it's not tied to ram clock but if your if clock (fclk) does not match your RAM speed you get increased latency

i.e. fclk on ryzen 5000 series is 1800

keep in mind the IO die on chiplet CPUs is also separate and connected to the CCDs through IF

which is why you get a performance penalty of IO die holding data when the clocks don't match

this is pretty well established :P

anyway a process jumping between two CCDs is expensive too because cpu cache is per CCD

which was more my point

And since multiple people are reporting performance issues on 5900x/5950x I'm just curious if it's an issue with process CCD hopping

Can't really test it on my end since I don't have chips lying around :P just a suggestion ^^

[narrow raft]

Possibly windows or linux can show more symptoms. the windows task scheduler and linux' CFS may differ in deciding on which cores to run a thread

[deep turret]

I know the architecture and 3200mhz still is the sweet spot
I admit I mixed 3k->5k with 5k->7k series
apparently it's 7000 that have unmatched fabric
but above 3200mhz would not make a huge difference

unless the scheduler do stupid things which windows 10 is known for depending on version

[narrow raft]

Sorry, the whole thing on unmatched IF was more of a tangent XD my main point is still cross-ccd hopping meaning cpu cache misses

[deep turret]

^ so yes it is, mb, 7000 is not

I run vm Linux on Linux host without any kind of such issues apparently
so it sounds weird to me
so I assume they run windows

[narrow raft]

I mean linux CFS is tuned for absolute cpu throughput whereas I think the windows task scheduler is much more thread latency tuned

though I don't know enough about task scheduling internals to speak with any level of certainty

[deep turret]

if it was very true the effect would be the opposite, as thread minimum latency is exactly tied to same ccd when throughput is spreading on thermal and power ressources
in fact latest linux scheduler is pretty aware of cache latencies and dependencies, and windows in fact just want to priorities it's own things, and then give mostly better I/O at the cost of throughput

and its heuristic is aggressively testing task accross the physical threads, which hits even more throughput, and if they do it accross ccds then it's horrible

windows had to talk tightly with amd for updating their scheduler, which show just about how "expert of the magic" they are : one indexing ordering off and the scheduler just isnt aware of its own shit

windows is very good at marketing shit

[narrow raft]

I'm not an expert in microshit winblows, sorry XD my daily driver at home is linux too

my windows partition exists solely for videogames that need ring0 or otherwise anti-linux anticheat :P

[desert snow]

Well, that's a lot of technical garble I do not understand.

[loud minnow]

I mean I run it on this 3950x with 64GB 3466mhz ram kit no issues.. I think what he is trying to say that you can get more out of a 5950x etc by running higher mega transfers ram kit but unless your gaming i don’t think running 3600 to 3200 you would see much difference like I said unless your gaming.. in a sever all that would do just give you higher memory bandwidth I think is better to have more ram than speed for a server imo

And I also have a 5950x running with 128gb 3600 cl16 kit but that my main rig for playing games

[dreamy talon]

Is anyone on Satisfactory Experimental also getting constant disconnects? (First Pic)

First I'm running a beefy Ryzen 5600 server 64GB Ram 6km away. So the server hardware can't be at fault. I'm running through pterodactyl. Ping 11-14ms. Server doesn't crash when I or my partner (sitting 30cm away from me) time out.

I tried to increase the timeout time as such in the UI. (Second Pic)

This put the following in the Engine.ini (Third Pic). I assume that's the new way of doing this because the instructions are very different from this website's: <shockbyte link here that I can't apply because of automod>
I don't even see [/Script/Engine.GameSession] header in any of the .ini files.

Even when I followed the website's guidelines I still disconnected. This seems to be the only fix known (to increase timeout), is there something else I might be missing or a way to diagnose what's wrong?

This is the server start-up stream:

./Engine/Binaries/Linux/*-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame ?listen -Port=27002 -ServerQueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000 -multihome=0.0.0.0 $(if false; then echo "-DisableSeasonalEvents"; fi)

Am I doing something wrong? Dumb?

I have also tried to disable ipv6 on the entire server through sysctl.conf (Nuclear option I know)

[deep turret]

4400 to 3200 as been benchmarked as ~1.7% performance shift

so even for gaming, unless you want the MOST out of it, it will be mostly similar performance as long as you have at least 3200

[civic lantern]

Disconnect, or never connect?

[dreamy talon]

Disconnect

[gaunt raft]

How can i host a dedicated server?

[civic lantern]

This I've not experienced no. A disconnect is usually a server crash, this would be clear in the log. Are you able to watch the log?

[civic lantern]

Do you have a spare computer? Are you able to reconfigure the router at that computer's internet connection? Is it for people on the same network / same house or for others outside of it?

Just reproduced it.

[civic lantern]

That looks like connects, then immediately disconnects.

As opposed to plays for a while, then bails

Common reasons for that would be a server/client mismatch, or your client is running mods while the server is not

[dreamy talon]

🤔 We are often able to play 1 to 12 minutes together before it disconnects us both.

Wait, are there issues with dedicated servers if 2 people come from the same "IP"? Both me and my partner are using the dedicated server. She's sitting across from me.

I'll go on a VPN.

[civic lantern]

It's possible, particularly if you have made either of your machines special on your home network.

eg, if you have one of them set as a "dmz" or whatnot according to the router.

is it stable if one, or the other, but not both, joins?

[dreamy talon]

No it's also unstable if one joins but I've never looked at the logs when only she could play as I was working.

One sec let me check

Woah the console essentially went ballistic and eventually kicked me out

[civic lantern]

in the ordinary course of events, your machine arranges for UDP forwarding by using UPNP on the router. if that is off on the router, or disabled on the machine, this would be the expected result

[dreamy talon]

Wouldn't I have way more issues than this if this was the case?
(It's on, I didn't know it mattered when I joined a remote dedicated server though)

DMZ is off

[civic lantern]

you'd probably see nothing happening if UPNP was off. it's how UDP packets are supposed to find their way to your computer when they arrive at the router.

i don't get any insight from that massive log, unfortunately.
my last ditch effort to bulldoze firewall problems is zerotier. It's a free edge VPN. It installs with a 'curl' on linux and has a gooey for windows. Devices join the same virtual network, and are assigned private IP's, and can talk to each other over the private IP's. Zerotier provides 'moons' everyone can see, and uses things like upnp and whatnot when possible to directly communicate when possible. I call it friend-area networking

[cursive sierra]

is it jut me or game u8 keeps crashing a lot after hitting past the 100 hour in a dedi server, crash when joining, mid game sometime, and even upon exit to desktop

[elder phoenix]

are there any confirmed fixes for dedicated servers crashing upon enemy aggro? saw something with maybe a tickrate solution? I don't want to enable passive as a work around if possible.. ty in advance

[cursive sierra]

never happened to me in the past 100+ hours

both servers one in 30 tick rate another on 120

[elder phoenix]

running the experimental u8 i assume?

[cursive sierra]

yep

[elder phoenix]

i suppose ill bump up to that and see if it helps, i posted in the #satisfactory channel and they were like go here...

[cursive sierra]

if it is a known bug then I have yet to encounter it tho I crash a lot on many occasions I mentioned above

too many unhandled stuff getting the game to crash which I hope they fix soon

Having said all that I have noticed one very funny crash similar to yours which happens when I hit creatures at 50KM/H with the small truck which sends me flying then game crashes lol

[scarlet crystal]

I am having an issue

Server is showing up as offline in game when attempting to connect

Console is spammed with "NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from: "IP"

[silent jetty]

im having the same issue

upon restarting a working server. it has never shown as online again. ive tried recreating it and everything. it never comes online

[spare orbit]

did you actually stop the old one?
often ours doesnt fully ends all processes and i need to kill it manually in task manager

[silent jetty]

yea it was fully killed

even rebooted computer on one attempt

[hot flame]

are you both using the same steam account?

[karmic merlin]

does creature setting cause crashes on servers if its not default?

as soon as i hit a creature on retailiaten, i get a dc

[ivory scarab]

I'm going insane

So I've been having constant issues with my server and one of the main culprit is almost most likely the Autosaves.

HOWEVER I cant change the settings at all. The autosave command on the server console doesnt work and I already changed the game.ini (the only .ini file the server shows) and it's not taking it up. It still autosaves all 5 minutes which causes all kinds of frustrating issues like random disconnects while driving then spawning under the map, causing the cars to never be reachable

[deep turret]

the only ini file the server shows ?
how do you only see one file, there are at least 10 files in there

[ivory scarab]

https://i.imgur.com/K1elGTn.png

[brave willow]

is it possible to run multiple SF Servers on one virtual Machine? 😄

[royal warren]

i dont see why not.

[deep turret]

yes but you have to set it up differently in the starting commandline arguments, the 3 ports have to be different

[signal jasper]

yes 👍

[deep turret]

you are under %userProfile%\AppData\Local\FactoryGame on windows or ~/.config/FactoryGame on Linux, but it is in the Satisfactory\Dedicated\Server\Directory\FactoryGame

[deep turret]

also you can post images directly here, and it's prefered (does not push people to connect to thirdparty servers, when not required)

[signal jasper]

just use following in your start parameter

-⁠ServerQueryPort=YOURPORT -⁠BeaconPort=YOURPORT -Port=YOURPORT -multihome=YOUR.IP.ADRESS -nosteam -log -unattended

[deep turret]

why the end - though ?

[signal jasper]

editing mistake

[ivory scarab]

Doesnt have a "Dedicated" folder. Its a Nitrado hosted server btw.

[deep turret]

I just named it so you know where to look, there is is "satisfactoryexperimental/FactoryGame"

[ivory scarab]

yeah and the only .ini file that I can work with is the game.ini one. But it's not taking any settings from the scripts. Ingame commands also don't work meaning I can't change the autosaveinterval no matter what i try

[deep turret]

you looked in this FactoryGame directory ?

[ivory scarab]

even downloaded the whole server structure to see. Not even hidden files

From what I'm reading here it seems it's a Nitrado issue huh

kinda mkes it sound like they're hosting the servers wrong

[deep turret]

there is no other folders ?

[signal jasper]

Nitrado showed me every .ini from the beginning - weird

had there a server to test performance like 3 days ago and all .ini where there , maybe install again

[ivory scarab]

the only other .ini I see is the Manifesto one

damn. Server re-install time?

[signal jasper]

yes

[deep turret]

Manifest.ini is in Engine directory not in FactoryGame directory

wth is your install

[ivory scarab]

urgh still only the game.ini one

[deep turret]

did you launch the server at least once

[ivory scarab]

Gotta love how clicking on the Nitropedia leads to an error. And the "forum" to a discord server.

yea

goes suspiciously fast. Can even connect

[deep turret]

make sure that's the one you are launching then

[ivory scarab]

it is

works fine

well "works" the autosave script is still not being picked up by the server sadly

[ivory scarab]

sent a ticket to Nitrado demanding a refund, since I doubt they're going to fix it. After some research it really seems like they only gave me half a server. I really need to stop going there

if I get a fix I will post it on the forums in case someone has the same issues

[edgy token]

i need help with my server finding the save files for SCIM save editing, i used Steam CMD to set up

[karmic merlin]

anyone knows how i can fix crashes when aggroing mobs?

[edgy token]

turn them to peaceful in ags

[sturdy kelp]

How can I fix that?:
"Your connection to the host has been lost."
If someone wants to join to the server then he'll disconnect with that message, but others can join
I think I have to reduce the delay of dc, but how can I fix that/do that?

[deep turret]

you mean increase the timeout delay ?

[sturdy kelp]

yea

I'm using debian 11

Which directory can I do it?

Or where could I find it?

[deep turret]

go to youreserverdirectory/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/

then you have .ini files there

[sturdy kelp]

Yes

I've searched there, but didn't find anything

Wait, I'll send you the .ini files of the directory

[deep turret]

you can edit Engine.ini

...
InitialConnectTimeout=timeinseconds.0
ConnectionTimeout=timeinseconds.0
```adding this lines
... stands for : whatever already there

each [/settings.names] are seperated settings group, you need to be under the one I wrote

[sturdy kelp]

Should I add like this?

[deep turret]

change "timeinseconds" to the time you want

defautl is 20 and 30

[sturdy kelp]

That could be anything?

I mean up to 999?

[deep turret]

anything that is writable

but that would be useless

[sturdy kelp]

Okay, and should change both?

to the same value?

[deep turret]

not necessrarly as I said default is 20 and 30

I personnaly use 180 and 120

[sturdy kelp]

Okay, let me try it

[deep turret]

3 and 2 minutes

mine looks like this [/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver] MaxClientRate=805306368 MaxInternetClientRate=536870912 NetServerMaxTickRate=96 LanServerMaxTickRate=96 InitialConnectTimeout=180.0 ConnectionTimeout=120.0

[sturdy kelp]

It seems to be working, but wait a little bit more please

Because my friend has a very bad pc

Now he's getting "Invalid authentication token" disconnect error, but others still can join

[echo haven]

Hey everyone! I'm trying to get a dedicated server launched through the epic games tool, but I've not been able to connect. When I put my ipv4 address in and the default port, it says the server appears to be offline. Not sure what I'm doing wrong?

[hot flame]

if you are on the same network, you connect to the internal IP address of the host machine (192.168.X.X). If the host machine is the same as the computer you have the server on, the IP is 127.0.0.1 (this is for you only, everyone not on your internal network will connect via your external IP)

[spring sierra]

I plan on making a satisfactory server through a hosting service but when I open the game there is a red triangle alert next to server manager. Should I worry about this or is this normal?

[dreamy talon]

No

[graceful flicker]

Nitrado have outright admitted to nerfing/incorrectly running Satisfactory servers. They'll close the server during idle hours, causing it have to be re-started etc when you go to load in.

Ask for a refund, they know, they won't even push back at all they'll just refund it immediately.

[spare orbit]

huh, why do they close thm, the server literally self pauses when nobody is online

[hot flame]

It is still running processes (your server is still manufacturing anything you had building even when nobody is online) - which costs the server company money. Shut down those processes = save money.

[spare orbit]

no it doesnt

its running nothing

[graceful flicker]

Even if it's not set to continue running; it still holds the map into memory.

After 4 odd hours of no activity they'd just suspend it. I would have to re-load the map if I wanted to play, which voids the point of a dedicated server for my/my friends. Have since moved over to Shokbyte with no issues whatsoever.

[hot flame]

It depends on your server setup - single player pauses production, most dedicated servers (unless you force it off) do not.

[spare orbit]

the default option for dedicated was behavior like single player

i never changed it and it pauses everything

also uses almost no memory when paused. i doubt it keeps the map in it. way too small

but about the actual topic. yeah, nitrado always was kinda scammy

[hot flame]

But the option is there, even if YOU personally don't do it, many do. Hence the policy. It is one of the perks of playing on a dedicated server. Especially later in the game where you are waiting literal hours for 5000 of something.

[spare orbit]

feels like literal cheating

[ivory scarab]

For fucks sake I fucking knew it

Never hosting on that shit site again

Already sent a ticket for a refund

[spare orbit]

just always self host :aismug:

[ivory scarab]

🙄 if I had an extra pc

[graceful flicker]

I'm not here to argue. It does keep the map in it, this is why you don't need to manually re-load the map each time you play (on correct hosting).

[spare orbit]

the server reloads it. it doesnt need to keep it in memory to be able to relead it after pausing

[graceful flicker]

Just go to the library and be sneaky haha.

[graceful flicker]

It does keep it in memory.

[spare orbit]

just get a server in a datacenter for good internet

[spare orbit]

but why it only uses a tenth of memory when paused?

[hot flame]

You don't need an extra PC, especially if you have a newer computer.

[graceful flicker]

Mine doesn't.

[hot flame]

You can run the server and the game on the same PC - especially if you run it as a service.

[graceful flicker]

Shut down it idles at around 0.5GB used.

[graceful flicker]

There is a big difference between a save-state sitting in memory and an active state sitting in memory 😛

[spare orbit]

buut when server is paused there is nothing active

[ivory scarab]

I want to keep it running

And dont wanna keep my own pc running overnight.
Mostly cuz Its in the same room :'(

[spare orbit]

as said, just get an actual server in a datacenter

[hot flame]

You have another computer in the house? Maybe someone elses? Put it on theirs - set it up as a service 😛

[ivory scarab]

Going to set up a secret server at work 🤭

[hot flame]

That's just a bad idea. Good way to get fired.

[ivory scarab]

Nah dude I work in IT. I will.just say its a test server for a new calculation service

Plus I quit anyway last month 😎

[ancient umbra]

Can anyone recommend a server which offers a per hour payment plan?

I play with one other friend so just need a server that allows either or both of us to log in and play at any time.

He's a father of two and I occasionally lead a busy life, so we aren't going to be running it constantly. A per hour basis would make much more sense for our use case. Any thoughts?

[simple flare]

I, personally, use cloudzy.

And it offers exactly that. You add your 'funds' and the server get's billed by a hourly price, if it runs.

[ancient umbra]

Sounds perfect, I'll check it out, thanks! Do you know if they've got the ability to move an existing local save to the server?

[simple flare]

Well since you got access to the the remote access, yes.

[ancient umbra]

Ah just glanced at it and I see it's not a gaming specific server setup, so I'm guessing you're just running a VM and manually install the game from there. Which version of their service do you run?
Is the Basic Windows one powerful enough to run Satisfactory with a couple of participants?

Also, as you're making a custom install of the game there, I'm guessing I can't use my existing ownership of the game on Steam (as it'd then flag that I'm using the same user account in multiple locations at the same time), so presumably I'd need to buy it in Epic store to install server side?

[simple flare]

Yup. Should be pretty fine with 2 players, as mentioned.

[simple flare]

you do that through steamcmd and downloading the dedicated server

The Initial Setup is a bit complicated, use the wiki's guide for that, however, after that, it's set and forget.

[ancient umbra]

Thanks, definitely going to look into this.
Cloudzy seem to offer quite the range of packages. I'm guessing it's their 'Cloud Server' service, running Windows, that you're using?

[simple flare]

Yup. I've started out with the smallest Windows Server plan (2gb of RAM) which was still doing fine in U8, but as my playerbase expanded we collectively decided to upgrade the plan.

[ancient umbra]

Nice, sounds a good one. Looks like I have to set up an account to fully see the price plan but I see the Cloud Servers are listed as having a Pay-as-you-go option which is just what I was after. Thanks again!

[ivory scarab]

holy shit @graceful flicker you were right

they already answered to my mail yesterday and straight up said "yeah okay we will send you a full refund"

no "but why" or anything. No fight at all. Thats so perplexing. But damn this just confirms Nitrado tried screwing me over hard.

So I got mad at the game and it wasnt even the games fault :(
S-Sorry

[signal jasper]

nitrado is sometimes really cheeky

[ivory scarab]

Its just weird because I hosted Ark and Space Engineers there and they were really fine. Especially Ark.
SE i had an issue with mods but thats on me.

But that shit with SF... was baffling. Like straight up scammed me. Yeah never using their services again. Then again maybe they did it due to the experiment state but still.

[cobalt fox]

is it normal that on a dedicated server with just 40ms from time to time you get teleported?

also trees, that i have previewsly cut down, when loading chunks show as they are there? u cant cut em off again and you can walk pass em but they render in as if they were never cut down

same with slugs - slugs that were picked up still render

[oak wave]

I can't get my dedicated server version to match my client, either in experimental or public
can i confirm that 238433 is what the experimental beta will download for servers?

I can't see anyone else having this issue so I must be doing something wrong

[signal jasper]

steamcmd look good. Are you sure your Client is experimental ?

But what do you mean with 238433 ?? 1690800 - beta experimental is right

ah you mean the version or ?

[oak wave]

when it tells me version mismatch

client is 24... server is 238433

[signal jasper]

you sure you dont have a second instance maybe running ?

[oak wave]

yeah something like that must be happening

[signal jasper]

restart mashine or check htop and clear your instance

[oak wave]

just installed a server on my local pc and its fine

[signal jasper]

or just perform a fresh install

[oak wave]

yeah guess if pulled an oopsie

nothing should be running

idk whats running it though, no tmux sessions at least on this user. well thanks for the help

[cobalt fox]

How do I resolve this issue on a server? Starting to get real annoying 😅

[signal jasper]

restart server and client 😛 Otherwise , welcome to experimental dedicated servers 😄

[cobalt fox]

Restart dose not fix it. If I rejoin - the area I was standing is synced perfectly. If I go somewhere else and come back - ghost trees are back.

Googled it and it seems this issue existed 3 years ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/caxgna/when_trees_respawn_inside_your_new_base/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=2

[signal jasper]

we had it too but it was gone after a restart and never came back .

3 years ago or not , it can be that its back in the experimental version.

[cobalt fox]

🤔 yeah guess so it could be

[desert snow]

Still getting that weird stutter, can't imagine why atm

[edgy token]

If I used SteamCMD to set up a dedicated server on a VM where would I find the save files for SCIM save editing

LocalAppData/FactoryGame

[edgy token]

K

[signal jasper]

its the experimental + ded server thing...
I have the same issue - we need to live with it for now

[ivory scarab]

So since Nitrado scammed me whats a good hosting size for experiment satisfactory

Cant do it on my pc cuz I cant let it run 24/7

[edgy token]

if im setting up a dedicated server for 4-8 people would R710 has 16 CPU cores and 46 gigs of ram be good enough?

didnt mean to ping, sorry

it will also be running a minecraft server and possibly TF2

[surreal topaz]

Hi, in my multiplayer server the train just does not dock! We rebuilt it all, reset all time tables everything. Is this a known bug?

It did dock and everything worked for some time, until it didnt

[royal dove]

My Ded server runs as smoothly as possible, but how do i get the autosave countdown to show? If it is even possible.

[ivory scarab]

that happened to me a lot due to autosaves

go to

1 https://satisfactory-calculator.com

2 upload your map

3 find the car

4 delet the car and then add the inventory and crafting material of the car somewhere do you dont lose it

5 upload the save in the server manager and dont forget to load it. Now go where the car was and the "offline player" should now be killable. Now get all your stuff back

[ivory scarab]

build the train station FIRST and then add the freighter. Then drive the train manually throught the line. If the train stops anywhere randomly drive back, remove the rail and reconnect them.

adding the freight station before the train station always causes issues since it doesnt "connect" correctly

[static scroll]

So I see a lot of people saying F* * * Nitrado, (which agreed, tried using them for ark before and have had issues),
I see others talking about steamCMD,

But has anyone had any experience with shockbyte, I've had pleasant experience with ark and minecraft hosting through them, but I'm still really new to Satisfactory (like 15 hours at this point) but I have a few other friends that play it and we are considering getting a dedicated server to negate the need for the host to constantly be online. I just do t know what to expect from any server hosting site for this game. So any input is appreciated

[deep turret]

shock byte sometimes seems to have performance issues apparently
but as most paid game services apparently
there are far more nitrado troubleshooting here

[edgy token]

i need help finding save files on a VM, i used steamCMD and the normal file paths wont work

[deep turret]

what normal path ?

is your vm Linux or Windows ?

[edgy token]

windows

i just got it moved to a higher resource machine as well but the server has the saves when playing

this is every file when i type in %appdata% into the run box

[deep turret]

it's supposed to be in linux ~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server
windows %userprofile%\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server (I guess, maybe a bit different at the end)

[edgy token]

not there

[deep turret]

short it then

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\

you are trying it on your Windows vm right ?

[edgy token]

yep

only file there

entire server box, already checked all folders

[tall crown]

Trying to create game with shockbyte server, it connects then when trying to create the game it just stops with no error and turns the server off. Tried loadsing a pre loaded save which doesnt work either. Starting a game is just turning the server off.

[old pilot]

could u make it so there is more than one hub like one per player

[edgy token]

that would go in #open-a-ticket or something like that

only one hub is able to be possible, even using glitches you cant spawn in the second hub, it will just be decor

[edgy token]

I moved my server over to a new rig and now it wont launch, all files were copied over so this shouldnt be an issue, HELP!

ok it might be fixed actually

[edgy token]

YIPPEE

[ivory scarab]

generally wouldnt copy the entire server folder

just the .ini and save

then use the server manager to load the save

but glad it worked

[lone coral]

Thank you

[deep turret]

no folders ??why did you crop like that

[deep turret]

do NOT use #open-a-ticket for that kind of stuff
open a ticket is for moderating this discord server (rules, spam, scam, etc..) it has nothing to do with features requests

for features requests go directly to the official qa site : http://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

[ivory scarab]

so has anyone found a server hosting service that works well for Experimental? Since Nitrado scammed me

[signal jasper]

you really want to mention that nitrado scammed you everytime or ?
I had a nitrado server for some test porpuse and it worked like a charm. Did you sorted it out with a support request maybe ?

There are alot of hosters out there , search one on google who fits in your location for ping etc

[ivory scarab]

Yeah Im traumatized

need to warn the good folks

yeah I did "sort" it out. Told them they only gave me half a server and they refunded me instantly. Was weird

was just wondering what everyone else uses. Since experimental is... experimental

I could imagine smaller ones having issues with that version

[signal jasper]

there is no reason to warn them. Nitrado is a big host and over 10 years old i believe - had a couple of servers there before i got my root server.
Absolut no need to shame a company for that when they even pay put your money back

You are really the kind of costumer no business wants to have ^^

[ivory scarab]

Shame and blame. Big corpos need to learn

Why? Because they only gave me half a server? lol

[signal jasper]

For what ???? How is it a scam when they pay your money back because you wasnt happy

What half a server ? Because some .ini's are missing ? Then ask the support what is the problem and they move you to another instance or install it new for your

absolut no reason to rant about them

[ivory scarab]

I'm not really gonna spam this channel with arguments since it's distracting from my original question-

[signal jasper]

I guess there is a lot of missing information from your side beside some knowledge how to use gameserver etc.

maybe some here will provide you a good hoster but what i from you that you shame a company who even pays you the full amout back i will not be providing any good server hoster to you.

Try google, its free

[ivory scarab]

Alright?

[ivory scarab]

so back to the actual topic since I have no idea what this was about.

[simple flare]

get a vm/root server and be your own hoster 😄

[ivory scarab]

👀 virtual machine?

But I cant

[simple flare]

then get a vps

[ivory scarab]

Cant leave my pc on. Its in the same room and too much rgb

Whaaa

[simple flare]

Myself, I am using cloudzy, someone else uses another hosting service.

They're dirt cheap and offer more flexibility than pre-configured servers that nitrado might be offering.

[ivory scarab]

Holy shir only 5 bucks

[simple flare]

Yup they're dirt cheap and run 24/7. In most cases you don't have any shady stuff going on and if there's a problem with the Satisfactory Server, you can usually fix it yourself.

[ivory scarab]

Yay no scam

[sand crag]

Also that's not a scam

That is just nitrado locking down the server

Which is very much a thing I get they do

[sleek needle]

I just upgraded my home server

I5 13600t
64gb ram
Nvme ssd
Dedicated serv is running well
~45w consumtion 24/7/365
0.2062€/kWh
~80 85€/year

Running à debian with proxmox
Docker vm with SF server

Imo its good alternative

[signal jasper]

Thats sweet 👍
80€ a year is absolutly nothing.
Nice job

[sleek needle]

And ive got à lot of other services running here.
Intel T series helps but you can do the same with other cpu by limiting power in bios 🙂

[deep turret]

that's idle though, expect more when loading server on it 24/7

[signal jasper]

OFC its more when i run it on 100%.
Its still a nice watt usage on idle or whatever

You cant tell his load shark nor the services he is running.
Im telling wherever is idle or not - 45w is nice - you dont know what he is doing exactly.

We can still appreciate some setups here . even more when they set them up power friendly.

[deep turret]

I thought they was stating idle specifically, so you'ill have to add the task load on top of it (which can be much higher)
but I miss read apparently

[gilded horizon]

i'm trying to run a dedicated server from my spare pc using steamcmd. im able to connect but what ip do i need to give my friends? i open ports on both router and firewall as well. This is new ball field for me, so any help, greatly appraiated

also my nat went to TBD after firewall ports, whatever that meansd

[limber gazelle]

How can I get my friends to join my server?

In order for your friends to join your server, you will need to give them your Public IP Address (WAN IP) and the port if it differs from 15777. You can obtain this by searching for "what is my ip" in most search engines.

[gilded horizon]

pretty sure i did all of that, we both read the wiki a few times, what is wan ip and i gave him my ip from whats my ip, didnt work

[edgy token]

there were no folders, just that file, i fixed it

[limber gazelle]

If you can connect still then it's likely firewall or the ports still. Your friend has the right ip.

In your router did you forward the udp ports to the right computer (your spare) using it's local ip?

I'm not too familiar with hosting on windows but there's also a powershell command on the wiki that opens up the firewall in windows. This might need to be run on your spare pc New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound ports" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 15000,15777,7777

[gilded horizon]

he still getting server name pending. everything i done, i open ports on my router using the spare pc ipv4 adress, i added to inbound and outbound because i didnt know which to the firewall, 3, 7777, 15000,15777 all 3 set to UDP. I even do that on my main pc. Went to whats my ip on spare pc, gave him that ip and the port i used to set up

is this an issue with experimential or just user error on my part since im new to this? but main is it giving me a headache lol

[deep turret]

did you give the public ip ?

[gilded horizon]

i gave whatever i was told to from whats my ip site

[deep turret]

and you are in the same local network as your server machine right ?

[gilded horizon]

yah, it's right beside me

[deep turret]

ok

👍

[gilded horizon]

some reason, he cannot join whatso ever

[deep turret]

do you join it with your public ip as well ?

[gilded horizon]

no, local to that machine

[deep turret]

you could try to use public ip too to see if it fails like with your friend

[gilded horizon]

we tried them all

spent hour and a couple ysterday looking at videos, and the wiki before i caame here. It's a pain lol

[deep turret]

so you tried with the public ip and had same result ?

[gilded horizon]

i log in np problem with my ipv4 ip from that machine

[deep turret]

I can't help if you dont answer my question

[gilded horizon]

i can't help answer your question if idk what that means, im new to this stuff

said i was new above

[deep turret]

I asked you if you used the public ip address, you said you used whats my ip and used that address to give to your friend
that is your public ip

so I asked if you tried to connect with this as well yourself

and had the same issues as your friend doing it like that

[gilded horizon]

oh ok no i use whatever ipv4 is to login, thats what every video was i think telling me to do

will try that here in a few, so i guess i need to add that to a new server than?

[deep turret]

yes, or maybe you can edit the current server but I dont remember if you can

the local ipv4 is prefered when you can, but here I'm asking with the public ipv4 address to better understand what's the problem
it's testing for troubleshooting

[gilded horizon]

well, i thought ipv4 was public, shows u how little i know with this stuff, i just build the pcs, not understand them lol

[deep turret]

the whats my ip one is public

the local one is not

[gilded horizon]

oh ok, good to know

i will try the public when hes done here soon then come back if it's still notworking

[deep turret]

it will not change anything for your friend

it's just so we can see if it work or not for you

[gilded horizon]

i meant ,hes currently doing something in game on my save, im letting him finish lol

[deep turret]

if it doesnt work, then I have a tip that will probably work, but if it works that's something else

[deep turret]

you mean not on the dedicated server ?

[gilded horizon]

just a moment, i think he said it's working, lmao

so it seems, to me, it took a while for it to work

wierd, i didn't do anything and he just went to server and it's there

sorry about all of that, and thank you guys for helping

[limber gazelle]

Glad it's working. I seem to remember something like that happening if you idled on the server manager screen for too long it would just stop updating, maybe that's what happened to your friend 🤷‍♂️

[gilded horizon]

yah, im not sure, i would log in first, give h9m the info and he would just keep getting server name pending or something and nothing happened from there, but i'm glad to, because i didnt enjoy leaving the game minimized when i was wanting to do other things lol

now to get the save over, should be easy

[sleek needle]

Here's my services :
Jeedom
Plex
Samba
Seafile
SatisfactoryServer (not paused)
Pyload
MariaDb
Memcache

I had to change CPU governor to get those results (conservative) because default add spikes to 80 90w

[olive kettle]

ok i hate a player join my game to help me with something... and now i have an offline character just sitting in my base how can i get rid of them

had not hate*

[gloomy hull]

kill em

[olive kettle]

cant touch em 😦

[gloomy hull]

is he seated drinking coffee offline?

[olive kettle]

oh wait yes i can

yay i wont have a corps for long now will i?

[gloomy hull]

use a rebal gun or such, pokey stick takes forever

should also drop a crate if he had any inventory

[olive kettle]

nice i knew this was the correct channel

[spring sierra]

Do blueprints work on servers?

[zealous lichen]

yo, idk why but i keep crashing when im joining my friend

nvm im in

[fluid sparrow]

Hello I'm new here, just started playing and was wondering if there are suggestions for hosting services? Can I upload my current game?

[hot flame]

Yes you should be able to do that from the main menu of the game (load a save file to the server from your hard drive)

As far as suggestions for hosting services, im not touching that. Dedicated servers are really experimental, and buggy, and just not something I personally would pay someone to host for me in the state that they are in.

You can play Co-OP with your friends though through steam or epic (without a dedicated server)

[covert cargo]

Would you be able to host one on a Dell r210?

Assume a boatload of RAM,no gfx

Wait wrong model

[spare orbit]

we have a dedicated server, works like a charm when remembering a few restrictions

[covert cargo]

dell r410

[hot flame]

model doesnt help. I have an i7 7700k with 16gb ram and the server works just fine (I run the server as a service with nssm).

[hot flame]

Is that a server blade? what are the specs?

[covert cargo]

Thats a yes then,though its at my place im not there atm,i might have to mess with that when i get home

[hot flame]

remote desktop FTW.

[spare orbit]

the r410 has quad or hexa core xeon and two sockets, should be more than enough

[covert cargo]

Powers off ,utility issues

yeah it has hexa and....its been a while since ive been back there but i filled every RAM slot and every drive bay with 300gb SAS

was gonna use it for a website which went to shit selling chemistry equipment as my business partner was a scumbag,next was an LLM

[loud minnow]

If it has an old Xeon it will probably struggle late game as IPC are not good on those Xeons and I’m guessing is using ddr3 etc.. I mean it will run it how well idk lol

[spare orbit]

the sound of 300 gb 10k sas drives is just perfect 😄

ddr3 is fine

the clock could be too low

idk the specs of it

[covert cargo]

Yeah this game is so CPU intensive im surprised

[spare orbit]

only the server

[covert cargo]

Im having issues with the game as well but this PC has been in storage sicne 2016 should be grateful it runs at all,my main box is at my house

3.2ghz quad

[spare orbit]

you know what xeon it is?

ah

3.2 should be enough

[covert cargo]

Oh the server?,i cant recal

[spare orbit]

ah oh

[covert cargo]

really?,im talking about just the game itself now

as it definately is not enough my cpu sits at 95%

[spare orbit]

the desktop client?

[covert cargo]

yeah

[spare orbit]

my cpu is at 1.5 %

[covert cargo]

i thought it was odd

Ive put everything down to minimum and it still chokes up,gpu util is not maxed but CPU consistently is

Even with a 12% overclock

[spare orbit]

#off-topic-tech message

thats for me

cpu doesnt care for the game

one core at 36.6 %, everything else idles

1.8 % of full cpu

[covert cargo]

im at 40% on the main menu alone?

[spare orbit]

yeah its quite different for different people and noboy knows why

[covert cargo]

interesting,thanks

[spare orbit]

its a xeon E, right? (only E an X have multi socket support iirc)
hexa means 56xx xeon

so either 2.67 ghz or 2.93 ghz
when its X it has something between 3.06 ghz to 3.73 ghz

the 2.67 one could be a bit weak for the game, all x versions seem fine i would say

[covert cargo]

Oh sorry no thats my server,this PC is an AMD Phenom X4 black edition 3.2ghz

[spare orbit]

yeah i mean the server for the server software

[covert cargo]

oh yeah sorry that one im afraid i cant recall its been months

other end of the country,all my stuff is

[spare orbit]

would say 7 of 8 possible cpus should be fine for it

[covert cargo]

thanks,i guess ill find out when im back there

[spare orbit]

server for how many player?

we play with two people on our server. its quad core 3.2 ghz and in a vm, actually hexa core.
also has 40 gb of ram but only uses like 4-6 for the game

so would say everything above 3 ghz should work nice

[covert cargo]

Not many,more of an experiment(a thought experiment atm) and since i dont have many friends i may end up running an LLM instead

[spare orbit]

hm?

[covert cargo]

Large language model,like opengpt

LLAMA is the "hip" one

they interest me

[spare orbit]

ah

[deep turret]

frequency doesn't tell much that's why Ace was talking about IPC
or else some Pentium and old amd cpu would hold performance top records with 5.xGhz performances
in fact it was very slow compared to current CPUs
that's also why an efficient fast light cpu of mobile 3Ghz device can't compete with a 2.1Ghz full format on main

[limber gazelle]

I'm trying to increase the tickrate but the server manager never shows anything above 30.

[deep turret]

what config file did you change ?

[limber gazelle]

/
home
/
container
/
FactoryGame
/
Saved
/
Config
/
LinuxServer
/
Engine.ini

oops don't know why it formated like that lol

Oh wait a second. some of these reverted

[deep turret]

#dedicated-servers message check this

you may have to make the file readonly

Also edit it when dedicated server is down

[limber gazelle]

I will try that

[limber gazelle]

I'm tired friend. I edited the client rate variables

Thank you it's working now

[kindred bramble]

Is it possible to install mods on a dedicated server?

[desert snow]

Hey Guys, where would I find my server login info to authenticate the server? For some reason its gone tits up

[spare orbit]

you set it on first start

i dont think you can display it somewhere afterwards

[hot flame]

it will be in your servers config file

[spare orbit]

wait, actually?

[deep turret]

if it's plaintext it's lame
that's the very first question I had here lmao : the dedicated password security

[hot flame]

actually I have no idea - it was for another game I played. I looked in my server ini and I didnt see it.

[spring sierra]

Anybody else have issues with servers crashing when saving blueprints?

[edgy token]

Running a dedi server, this has been happening for the past 10-12 hours

blade runner not connected

and no animations ever play

[sand crag]

Happens to me as well just unequip and equip that's the workaround

[quasi saffron]

would increasing the bandwidth limits for a dedicated server help reduce lag/crashes?

[sand crag]

Well it helps with logging in that I know and possibly also with that, on the wiki are settings given that should help with that

[edgy token]

Server randomly crashed when placing walls? i dont know what happened but it didnt like that and crashed

[sand crag]

Happens I guess though does it happen repeatedly?

[edgy token]

no, just randmoly happened once

though the server doesnt have redundant power so there might have been an outage or surge

[sand crag]

Hmm 🤔

[edgy token]

its privately owned but i cant go to the physical server to start it, i cant even remote desktop into the VM its running

[sand crag]

Well thats too bad I guess

Also I have my server on always power on

Fyi you could run satisfactory server in a docker container

[edgy token]

?

docker container?

[sand crag]

Yes

If the server is a Linux host

A docker container would be using less resources

[solemn sleet]

I'm playing a playthrough with a friend on a dedicated server on experimental. We sometimes run into a weird issue where we crash and then when we rejoin we are "disembodied". Simply said we spawn in as a totally new player, most of the time leaving our previous player behind on the place where we crashed as an offline player

it's super annoying as we have to track down where this offline player is and kill them to get the items back. Has anyone else encountered this and knows if there's anything to prevent it?

[glass fable]

known bug

[solemn sleet]

Is there any way to get your stuff back easier or do you just have to kill the offline player?

[glass fable]

yup, kill

[solemn sleet]

Hmm still find it a super weird bug that you can randomly get a new user ID after a crash

[desert walrus]

It happens if you relog before the server has recognised you as offline
Waiting a little extra time before rejoining the server can help

Since when you crash there is no disconnect message sent to the server, but just a comms dropout, which could just as easily come from a momentary net dropout

[solemn sleet]

that makes sense

but i guess once it happened there's no way to revert it?

[jade lion]

Anyone else having problems getting a dedicated server setup with Linux?

[loud minnow]

Nope i run it on Linux using docker just fine

[jade lion]

What distribution? I'm on Ubuntu:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS"

[jade lion]

Can you share me the Docker build?

Found 1

[loud minnow]

Github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server this is the image that I use works perfectly

[jade lion]

Oh damn, I'm going to need a bigger VPS

[trail kestrel]

anyone run a dedicated server on an unraid server??

[edgy token]

Windows VM

[remote wyvern]

Player sent me this, looks like the server has some kind of built-in restart utility? I had also set up a cronjob to restart the service at intervals but I'd prefer the built-in one

[neat birch]

Yeah ive seen that too. Planned shutdowns. Maybe internally triggered, for garbage collecction? (random guess)

[sand crag]

What is the host?

[sand crag]

I thought for updates lol

[deep turret]

do x570 aorus have headless mode ?

[scarlet fox]

I just had a random guy join our dedi server, how do I remove them?

Can anyone help?

[spare orbit]

no idea how, our server runs for weeks now and we never saw that, even when playing over ten hours non stop

i kinda think its a mod thing from third party servers

[desert walrus]

Somebody had to share the ip/password with them
You'll just have to change it and not tell them

[loud minnow]

if you mean by headless by not having a GPU yeah i can run the pc with no GPU installed and it will still run.. as im using debian with no graphical interfaces im just using ssh...

[ebon pond]

are their any free hosting platforms for like 3 players

[sharp bison]

Google cloud platform gives new users a $300 credit

That's what my server is running on

I've got one of their compute focused instances up with good specs for about 120/mo which I figure roughly matches the timeline on which my buddies get bored of each update because we achieve what we set out to do

Next update someone else can set up their account and we go again

took me barely 30 minutes to get my instance up, put the satisfactory server on it and have it established as an auto-restarting system service

[deep turret]

so no iGPU nor discret one, neat (I know some manufacturers do, but asus for instance fuck that up)

[remote wyvern]

It’s not a mod. I set up and deployed the entire thing myself

The only way it makes sense that we got that in game is if there’s some kind of auto restart mechanic built into the dedi server client

I almost had the theory at one point that the server detected the cronjob that restarts the systemd service but the times don’t match up

[spare orbit]

but as said, our edicated server client doesnt do that at all

[remote wyvern]

Whatever it is must detect some kind of condition it needs for it to want to restart and maybe your server hasn’t hit that yet or maybe the players didn’t notice

How far are you and your players? Lots of big builds?

[loud minnow]

yeah.. the only thing would be if i need to access the bios then yeah i just put in any GPu to get a display thus the cheap quadro card then do what i need to do and if i want to remove the gpu i can and just use the command line interface to do what i need to do etc.. the computer still boots up into OS fine no issues..

[loud minnow]

is not i believe if you leave your game running like even when no players are connected the server does an automatic restart every 24 hours and that just the countdown... from what i read i do believe you dont leave your server running even when no players are connected

[edgy token]

wdym? its a privately owned server. if you mean how i set it up i used SteamCMD

[sand crag]

If it is a Linux Host that hosts the windows VM you will save on recourse usage as you don't need to fiddle with a windows system and steamcmd docker has a nice and easy setup FYI

[edgy token]

windows server, windows VM, everything windows since "its industry standard" even though linux would work better

[sand crag]

Industry standard is Linux though not wincrap

Even then probably on windows docker also will save a significant part

[edgy token]

nah, the facility where our servers are only allows us to use windows

[sand crag]

That's ass

[edgy token]

it is

even the IT manager hates it

[sand crag]

Like why even bother to work for that view that's so old that I'd just take my leave there

Windows Is great with active directory, but also so bad for all other things

Anyway

[remote wyvern]

yup - sysadmin IRL here. Windows is great, but its not without its issues. Linux is probably better for use cases like this channel lol

[sand crag]

Yep

Sysadmin here too

Speaking out of experience

Microsoft development is so ass these days that I can't be delighted by any update

[remote wyvern]

I more hate what Shitcrosoft does with O365 than anything else they touch. They change that platform randomly all the time and its sooooo annoying

[sand crag]

Linux is a total opposite

[edgy token]

the issue is, we have to store the data for about 1000 people here and the networking is set up horribly, but we cant change it since our servers are also supporting the facilites in 2 other cities

[sand crag]

Virtualize the shit into a VMware setup and piece by piece pull the mess apart

I actually caused a change in my company in how to host and setup the virtualize layer and vm layer

We are using hyper-v but it's not as bad as it used to be

[edgy token]

i have no permissions to do that, im technically just an intern

[remote wyvern]

VMWare gang rise up

[sand crag]

We had a mismatch like AD host hyper-V with some virtuals on it. I looked and was like euh this is a problem

[remote wyvern]

I work at an MSP as a sysadmin so we manage hundreds of client environments and a total of over 30k endpoints across the clientbase. Hyper-V is exceedingly rare these days, VMWare is king

[sand crag]

We aren't that big on it "bosses choice" I'd rather go VMware

[deep turret]

do it yourself gang looking at you

[sand crag]

Well my KVM host is quite diy

Still pretty gud

Anyway a bit offtopic

[remote wyvern]

I do wonder what backend these game server host companies use

[sand crag]

Well possibly one of the other free big names

[remote wyvern]

I don't like using them, our server runs on a typical headless Ubuntu LTS from an AWS-like service, so I set up the entire deployment myself with the provided instructions from coffestain

But it is interesting to think about how they handle their backend and rent out gameservers automatically

[deep turret]

satisfactory setup is very trivial

[sand crag]

Well docker container is quite easy to do

[deep turret]

they can just use docker all the way on big ass host machines

[sand crag]

Yep

[deep turret]

with python scripting

connected to some http and client db endpoints

it can go very cheap to run once you have the right recipe

[remote wyvern]

We didn't do the docker setup for ours

just the systemd service method provided on the wiki

I didn't see a need for the docker setup, I wiped this instance and reinstalled the OS fresh just for this, its literally the only thing running on it

[deep turret]

I just feel the wiki is lacking some proper systemd.service templates, or did they add it lately ?

[sand crag]

Recourse saving is quite significant

Though you'd be able to have multiple sessions without it on a host but I'd rather not management wise

[deep turret]

for cheaper services they can even go bare multi-instances

[remote wyvern]

I'm not super up to date with Docker stuff but I get the basics I guess. are you suggesting it'd potentially run better under Docker, even though the satisfactory server is literally the only thing the OS is functionally doing on the entire server?

[sand crag]

Oh no just manegatorially

[deep turret]

it will not run better on the same OS, but it will run better than if you want to virtualize every other server under the same OS, another way

[remote wyvern]

aaaah okay thought that's what you meant

[sand crag]

Lemme say docker compose is quite nice

[deep turret]

when you want to run lets say a hundred of servers, with some kind of client isolation and custom instance server engine settings
you have to use some kind of containers at least, docker is the built-in easy way to do that

and its more efficient that running multiple vms (even though they can be all child of a single storage ressource, I look at you the folks saying it cant be storage efficient)

[sand crag]

Couple portainer with that and you've got a nice management interface

And with that you could assign local IP addresses per instance on one of the NICs as if it's a real device

So routing if needed via routers is also possible

[sand crag]

What? Lol the thing is most images are reused within docker so in effect it's quite space saving

Then if you change stuff within the image it will make a difference file for that container

At least last time I've read about it it did that

[deep turret]

yes, why do you tell me that, I was just saying vms can do the same

[sand crag]

Well yes though it's quite IO constrained

[deep turret]

not that much

[sand crag]

Comparative there's a difference but I agree

[deep turret]

holding a change file is holding a change file
block level changes are more reliable
but not less performant if using a native mapping driver
it's just less efficient in the block driver path (vm <-> host)

[remote wyvern]

Hmmmmm

[sand crag]

Hmm well I'm used to bad hyper-v stuff

[remote wyvern]

Probably need to bump our instance up a notch with the provider

[deep turret]

wdym

[remote wyvern]

Look at the CPU

[deep turret]

it looks usual

[remote wyvern]

the server is hitting, what the top command thinks, is 140% of CPU util lol

[deep turret]

that's expected
you will always hit something like that mostly
what will change is game stability and tick rate support

[remote wyvern]

I bumped up the tickrate to 60 in the ini files from 30

[deep turret]

Also that is when the game is running since a long time ? or is it when someone just logged in

[remote wyvern]

I had been in for a few minutes

[deep turret]

I don't really get why you are surprised about 140%
that's basically constrained main loop (usual) + 40% offloaded work

[plush moss]

is there a way like if my pc is shutdown other member can host on their pc

[deep turret]

what do you mean, they can get your server save if you give it to them and play on it
other than that your question is a bit too unspecific

obviously they can play on your computer if your computer is down

dedicated servers usually shine when on a third machine that is not shutdown @plush moss

[plush moss]

oke

so if i go offline (shutdown pc) they can still play multiplayer save?

[gilded horizon]

is it normal for blueprints and save files to not save in the steamcmd folder? i see bps and save file is in appdata. Any way to make it save in server folder so infuture i dont forget to back them up?

[plush moss]

what is the best satisfactory server hosting website?

like cheap and best

[deep turret]

the saves can be loaded indifferently on local game, multiplayer local game, or on a dedicated server
now the very first interest in dedicated servers is : anyone can connect or disconnect any time without closing the game, as the dedicated server is still running

[deep turret]

on linux it's easier to manage than on windows, but currently : no there is no arguments to set the user file or setting files locations
though, know that you likely only need to backup your saves when reinstalling a machine or anything, and optionally you server setting files

I mean : you have only one location to look at to save things, and it's in the AppData/Local/FactoryGame/.. location

[gilded horizon]

yah, i'll just try and not forget. Was hoping there were a way to make it save there but it is what it is

[loud minnow]

You cant get cheap and best… cheap and best is host it on your own hardware but with provider you get what you pay for type of deal

[plush moss]

hmm i just want my friends to be able to play while i am offline

[loud minnow]

Yeah I run it on 120 and it does put to work the 8 threads that I’m running it on out of 32 lol

[deep turret]

(i.e probably around 500% cpu load)

[remote wyvern]

Nice. Seems a bit more stable on 60 for now, may bump up to 120 if we find it possible/necessary, thanks for the tip

[deep turret]

I play on 90~95 without major problems, though I didnt tested much since I'm waiting for hypertube fixes

[severe tide]

Hi there fellow Factory builders, quick question:
for some reason, my server will not accept the FG.AutosaveInterval xxx command.
I keep getting the error in the screenshot, can anyone help?

i also don't get any autosave notifications

Also what unit is this???

[/Script/Engine.Player]
ConfiguredInternetSpeed=120000
ConfiguredLanSpeed=130000

[cloud beacon]

Is there a fix for the foliage respawning on client side? I have a U8 server

[deep turret]

bits

or bytes I don't remember

I should check

[desert walrus]

Bits iirc

[deep turret]

would much make sense in bits

[desert walrus]

?

[deep turret]

because it's networking

[trail kestrel]

Does the game allow a URL for connecting to a dedicated server? I set up a reverse proxy and I'm trying to use the URL as the address. Is there another way to do this??

[desert walrus]

That was strangely worded, just wasn't sure about meaning

[desert walrus]

Best way would just be to use dns

[drifting cedar]

Hello, I'm trying to run trains in a dedicated servers (new save, a week old). And I'm noticing weird behavior, I can't seem to join my stations since I get the message "The train can't reach the station". The GPS location of the station is messed up also. The only train I managed to get working was a bidirectional train with 50 m between station in a straight line.

Does anyone get the same behavior ? It seems as though most of the transportation on the server is quite buggy

[deep turret]

url as you are talking about is for web server, it is already a service and its protocol handling

the game server is the game and its a server, it as nothing to do with the web server, so it can't just use the web server connection, because it's just completly another unrelated service
if you want a handy name that points to a physical address, that's literally what dns as been made for and you are actually using one in your url (the address part 'youtube.com' for instance is one dns address)

you can buy a dns domain and the services going with it on several dns providers, usually datacenter's machine providers also are dns providers, and for vps they usually give you a dns address out of the box (a very not nice looking one, but still)

[deep turret]

also if your url points to the same machine, with a dns address in the url ..
then it means you already have one, and just can put it there

[grizzled saddle]

I cant find a solution to this anywhere. I keep crashing either on naming dedicated server or when setting admin password. anyone know what to do about this?

[severe tide]

hi, so can anyone help me here???

[solemn sleet]

I've noticed myself that sometimes train tracks don't actually snap together

so just manually drive the train along the tracks and see at what connection between tracks it randomly comes to a standstill and replace that part of the track

like instead of snapping together it snapped to the ground meaning the tracks are disconnected

[drifting cedar]

Yeah I got it working eventually by replacing segments of the track one by one

Thanks for the response

[solemn sleet]

when i lay down new tracks i always manually do a test drive around to find any misalignments like that

I did test drive it. But the problem was... It's also my first time trying trains

So I didn't know if it was because of my lack of train knowledge or server issue (like belts not connecting properly eventhough they look fine and worked fine before...)

I made a creative world (fly/no cost/no need for electricity) and tried my solution over there to compare the two.

I noticed I also had issues with bidirectional since I was trying to reach station in the middle which were only one-way. But I was going back and forth.

After looking at videos and articles, I fixed all the train knowledge issues and it only left me with that possibility: bad rail connexion between stations. Some were really obvious, but some other really looked like it was good.

The thing I didn't understand is that it seemed to conduct electricity anyway, eventhough there wasn't a good connexion between the rails for the train to go through

Alright, so I'm wondering if anyone can provide insight into this issue.

I'm experiencing a lot of issues when it comes to trucks and dedicated servers. At random, people will crash whilst in a vehicle and driving. Upon re-logging; the vehicle is gone, teleported to (0,0), and the character appears to be falling through the map indefinitely on the client side. After a second re-log the character is respawned and the inventory is completely gone. (This seems to be a separate issue in and of itself... When we do not crash inside a vehicle there's a good chance that upon logging back in the character is duplicated)

On average we're having to restore from backup twice a day during an 8-hour play session. If we do not restore from the backup this issue appears to get worse and the player duplication keeps on happening. I understand that this has been an issue for a while in the game, but is there any workarounds to at least make this issue more manageable?

I will follow up with crash logs once I reproduce this issue later today.

[pliant spindle]

can i use a epic games dedicated server on steam?

[solemn sleet]

What i've noticed for player duplication, it happens when you connect to the server but the server still has an active connection with you. Happens after you crash and relog before the server disconnects you

not sure if that also applies for you but it has for me

[solemn sleet]

You connect to a dedicated server through IP. It works regardless of whatever platform is used

albeit most would do it through steamCMD as that has been a standard way of setting up servers for years. A lot of control panels (for instance pterodactyl) are known to work well with steamCMD

[edgy token]

Would it be smart to make an entire skyscraper of power storages just incase people on my server are not smart with their factories?

[solemn sleet]

The only problem you're gonna solve with so much power storage is prolonged high power draw

or spikes in the power draw

it won't last forever

[edgy token]

obviously, but it will last long enough for me to go and slap a power switch on their factory before they draw everything

Had the same problem with friends too on our dedicated server

[kind crater]

My friend started a dedicated server, and every time i go outside of our base to explore, my game will randomly crash and when i load back in, ill spawn in with no character data, all of my hotbars will be reset and all of my items will dissapear with no crate. I've already validated my game files, idk what to do, anyone know a fix?

[fluid wasp]

It's been an issue for years now... The best fix is to set your connection timeout to 15-30 secs and wait for that time to pass before logging back in. Also: tractors seem to make this issue worse so if you crash while driving it will put you under the map

[patent sun]

Hello 👋
I can't log to my server because the date time is not the same :/
Someone know how to change the time of the satisfactoy server ?

thanks a lots

[jagged lion]

Are you on update 8?

[old pilot]

dose anyone know a command to for putting coal spots where ever u want

dose anyone know if mods work on dedicated servers?

[deep turret]

this is in Europe ?
because if yes that's just the server using utc
if so then you may share what error it gives you exactly because that's very unlikely date related

[patent sun]

I switch to the docker version, more easy to use ^^ 🙂 and it's working great

[mortal plaza]

Hello people!
I died and my death crate is in the center of the map 0,0 coordinate... but I can't find it in amber forest

00 = amber forest

anyone else faced the issue, an dknows how to get the crate at 0,0

[narrow raft]

Check the vertical coordinate. It might be under the map

[hot flame]

If it’s at the center of the map, it’s probably actually bugged and went to the center of the world (0,0,0). In that case use the satisfactory calculator to move it to your position.

[patent sun]

Hello, I have a dedicated server (Debian 12) on experimental update 8.
I can join in without issues.
But my friend can't. (1 with Epic, other one with steam)

Wher they add the server into the server manager, they got "Server name pending" "This server appears to be offline"

Any ideas ?

Thanks 🙂

[hot flame]

Did you give them your external ip address?

[patent sun]

Yes 🙂

We shared our screen on discord... it's very weird

[hot flame]

Did you forward the port for the server through your firewall/router?

[patent sun]

I'm not hosting the server in my house. I bought a dedicated server on AWS / OVH datacenter

[covert cargo]

You need to change it on the PC its hosted on

oh its private?

contact your hoster

its their job to make sure their system clock is correct

[patent sun]

It's not...

[covert cargo]

you wont be the only person with issues

if the system clcok is off anyone on that server blade will have a lot of problems

[patent sun]

The clock issue is fixed 🙂 I just changed the timezone of the server

[patent sun]

The real problem is why people can't see my server up and running 😦

I'm the only one, the chosen one

😂

[hot flame]

Is your server whitelisted in any way?

[patent sun]

I don't think so. I start renting it since yesterday. Just install docker, launch the server and hop, it works.
But this morning my mate want to join me, and for them it appears offline :/

so weird

[covert cargo]

perculiar,especially since its not hosted locally....your friend is on update 8 right?

[patent sun]

yeah

experimental too

[hot flame]

Have them delete then readd the server.

[patent sun]

tried multiple times 😢

[hot flame]

If they were on 7 the server would say version mismatch, not server offline

[covert cargo]

ty,i havent even got any friends who own a PC much less play this game so i wouldnt know lmao i just know dedicated server hosting

[hot flame]

All good. Only reason I know is because I had a server I hosted for U7 and it was still running when U8 launched and it said mismatch.

[rigid shale]

Hello! Good morning! I attempted to load satisfactory onto a server I had hosted in gportal and tried numerous attempts and kept getting version mismatch. I gave up and hosted another game. But I did research and it seems like it needs various adjustments .. will there be an easier approach to people hosting it?

[limber gazelle]

Sounds like you might have been joining the server with the Early Access branch of the game (update 7) while the server is on the Experimental branch (update 8 pre-release) or vice versa.

You can check in your hosts settings if there's an option to change branches.

[delicate lion]

Hi all, I have a rented server at Shockbyte. Played fine for days but now it keeps restarting. Anyone got a tip what to do (before logging a ticket)

[cinder hearth]

Do you mean It keeps restaring in the Multicraft View Server?

[severe tide]

Hi there fellow Factory builders, quick question:
for some reason, my server will not accept the FG.AutosaveInterval xxx command.
I keep getting the error in the screenshot, can anyone help?

[chrome pumice]

Commands do not work with experimental.

[severe tide]

and how do i change the autosave intervall then?

[chrome pumice]

In the engine.ini file on the server.

[severe tide]

what do i have to write there?

thats my engine.ini at the moment

[chrome pumice]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files

[severe tide]

it doesn't seem like there is any info on where to put it in the file itself...

[chrome pumice]

I would assume the same place as above with auto save slots.

[severe tide]

hmm, but i don't understand how tbh, could be anything... i mean how do i need to write it in there, and where exactly

[chrome pumice]

I don't have it changed on mine but I would assume under
[/Script/FactoryGame.FGSaveSession]
FG.AutosaveInterval=xx

[trim leaf]

Anyone have issues with dedicated servers crashing when a player tries to join? I get a timeout error and then the server crashes. Assuming its the server provider (shockbyte) but wanted to check here as well.

[severe tide]

that worked, thank you 🙂

[delicate lion]

Here

[trim leaf]

@delicate lion Mine is doing the same thing. Shockbyte stated it was the Node so they moved mine to EU from NA and its still doing it also

[delicate lion]

Hmm ok, I dont mind moving to EU to test.

[trim leaf]

It hasnt fixed it as of yet but ill let you know what the fix is.. That is if they respond to my ticket again

[delicate lion]

Thx. I give up trying for today. Sucks as I looked forward to play again with my friends

addicting game

[dusk halo]

Hey guys I'm running the wolvix docker container in podman on Ubuntu. Been running this server for a friend and I for a few weeks, without much issue. Twice in the last week I've had to restart the docker container because the server just appears offline. Not sure how to get logs or how to troubleshoot. The container looks like it's running fine, but restarting it allows the clients to see it again. Any ideas

When I look at the log in podman it's just a constant scrolling of stuff like it normally looks like nothing error glaring at me

[arctic isle]

So here's a fun one. I installed and set up a dedicated server running public branch. Was workign fine. I got in locally, had a friend test remotely, all good. I decided to try out the experimental branch and it also worked, but I get a stutter every 30 seconds or so on experimental so I'd rather just stick to public. But when I revert back, even after deleting the entire folder the server was installed in, the public branch will no longer start the server. I redid everythign from scratch, but no go. I can go back to experimental and it's perfectly fine (ignoring the stutter) but I can no longer run public. Sp experimental has installed something extra somwhere that is now killing public. Any ideas?

[jolly comet]

Which one looks better or is easier to read?

I think the blue on the left makes it slightly easier to read, but I also think it might be too much color.
