dedicated-servers

[civic lantern]

your internal ip on the machine

[spare orbit]

second one will still try to bind to ipv6 when its existing

[civic lantern]

.1.221

[loud minnow]

I know but I have it so they can try either one see what works for them

[civic lantern]

does ipv6 work for anyone >_<

maybe needs another decade

[spare orbit]

when you have it from home pc and completely configured on both ends it should work

[civic lantern]

i know i'm part of the problem, many of my services are ipv4 only. in fact... all are

[spare orbit]

but still many people dont have that

[forest anchor]

ya i do have an ipv4 and ipv6 public ip and local

[civic lantern]

that's some progress. i don't even know how i'd get an ipv6 ip, and i'm on fibre

[spare orbit]

i have my normal ipv6 and a secure ipv4 one

so the 4 is basically one way

and shared between many people

so we go ipv6 to isp, then this will access the stuff on ipv4

if needed

because there arent enough v4 anymore

comes with the advantage, that the ipv4 just leads to the isp and nowhere else

thats the case for most people now

[forest anchor]

ya cuz 0.0.0.0 use to work before with satisfactory and i never had to change it but i got a new isp and ip and such and now i gotta redo all my network cuz of the ipv6 lol and my all in 1 is in bridge mode and my pfsense router does all the work

so i tryed putting multi home as my local ip and it dident work but now when i set it to my public ip it dont allow my server to start

[spare orbit]

it needs the ip of the systems its running on

[forest anchor]

so the local ip got u

[spare orbit]

the public ip of the server is the local ip in your network

it cant know the outside one, since its not using it

the router does the routing

so multihome takes the nat ip you showed in the screenshot

[forest anchor]

ok now its back to local ip of 192.168.1.221 and server starts but its still not showing up on my public ip it shows on my local tho

[loud minnow]

So that simple you have a networking issue so sometimes in your set up is not allowing the connection through if is working in the local network

Simple but that depends on your particular set up

[forest anchor]

thats what i thought too but idk where its messing up cuz my firewall rules looks right and port forwarding looks good so where else could i have messed up

im using pfsense

[spare orbit]

we had someone previous having the server in the same network and cant access over public ip.
wasnt the problem, that its basically your own ip?

[hot mortar]

So if the server is running on your private network and you have forwarded the ports so that people on the outside can reach, sometimes that is separate from the question of "can I reach it on its public IP from inside my network". I would check that the ports are forwarded correctly, and if so, check if someone on the outside of your network can reach your server (by your public IP).

[spare orbit]

so the router contacts itself. and that handling depends on the router i think

[loud minnow]

Is something with that I’m pretty sure

And can’t help you with that as that is all you brother lol

[spare orbit]

so yeah, would first test with someone outside of that network

when that works, wouldnt care and just connect via internal ip tbh

externally connecting to myself is a weird concept

[forest anchor]

ya i do have a friend who is screenshareing with me and refreshing and its still not poping up

[loud minnow]

You can by using a vpn provider to test that all I use them for lol

[spare orbit]

yeah, 3 things they are good for.

• you are away from a network where you need to work in
• you need to see how stuff looks from outside
• geoblocking

[forest anchor]

whats odd is that before i got my new isp it worked fine now its broken some how lol

[loud minnow]

We’ll all I can tell you that the server is ruining just something in your set up is blocking outside access

[spare orbit]

ah wait

what isp and you are sure you have an ipv4?

and not a shared one

because if shared, it will never lead to you

so impossible to get accessed

[forest anchor]

idk where to check that with my isp

[loud minnow]

Go Jonny go go go

[spare orbit]

your router

[loud minnow]

That all I can think of when reading your name lol

[forest anchor]

lol

[spare orbit]

no address at all?

[forest anchor]

no it shows an ip but i covered it up

[loud minnow]

Lol

[spare orbit]

thats the first router directly to outside?

[hot mortar]

search for "what is my ip address" and often the search engine will tell you (or the first hit will be a web site that will)

[spare orbit]

wont work

it cant tell if its a shared ip or not

[hot mortar]

he'll be able to tell whether or not it matches what's in his router config

(and yes, if it's different, that's a problem)

[spare orbit]

the router shouldnt show an ipv4 normally

like here it just shows ipv6 and says ipv4 is dynamic

because the router never uses ipv4 because it doesnt get one

[hot mortar]

it really depends. my ISP only gives me an IPv4 address. I'd have to create a tunnel to reach IPv6 addresses. but I'm in the U.S. and we're known for our wasteful ways 😜

[spare orbit]

so you have all the v4 addresses of the world

we have so low amount, that everyone has a v6

and like a hundred people use the same v4

[loud minnow]

Suck to be in the UK lol

[forest anchor]

lol so im confused now cuz my wan on my router said 1 ip and when i go to wan on my modem it tells me another ip

[loud minnow]

Or Europe

[hot mortar]

nah you can tell that he's in Germany from the IP address he posted 😅

[spare orbit]

only the first router to ouside knows the outside ip

well, ping wise the best internet

[loud minnow]

Yeah I know that is why I said Europe

[spare orbit]

also having v6 as main and v4 only legacy support is actually nice and progress

so when tomorrow v4 just vanishes, we are good, everything already works

[hot mortar]

some larger ISPs here NAT their customers over IPv6, especially on mobile networks. but I use one of the smaller providers and they're too lazy for that

[loud minnow]

Yeah if that ever happens… not in our lifetime I bet.. but we have IPv6 here too just nobody uses it lol

Yeah mostly mobile uses that

[spare orbit]

but yeah, because of the topic i could think the isp change made this as well

no actual ipv4 anymore

[forest anchor]

so my firewall/router vs my modem

does that look right then ?

cuz the 2 wan are diff

[spare orbit]

different is correct

that are different networks

we are talking about the outside ip

doesnt matter whats between modem and other routers

[hot mortar]

"it depends" though; it sounds like your traffic might be routed twice - once for your router and once for your modem. in that case you would need to port-forward from both the router and the modem.

[spare orbit]

ah yeah, you basically have two routers, one behind the first.
so either open all ports on one and handle everything on the second or do everything twice

uh, idk how a bridge mode one that device would work

[forest anchor]

from my understanding it allows my pf sense to all the the routing so all of the ports are open on the modem

[spare orbit]

in that case it should work

uh, can you check the outside ip the modem reports if its part of an isp portrange fpr dynamic use

[hot mortar]

it's confusing that you would have two different IPs if you are in bridge mode though.

[spare orbit]

or does it lead to you

[forest anchor]

ikr thats what im like WHAT lol how does that work

[spare orbit]

would say the pfsense still doesnt get the outside ip.
it still gets an internal one from the modem, just that the modem lets everything through

[hot mortar]

if your pfSense box has an IP address in this range, it won't know how to forward the traffic correctly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

[spare orbit]

so its the same here in datacenter actually

[hot mortar]

yeah, there are a lot of possibilities. it's possible that the "WAN IP" of the modem is just used by the ISP for management. otherwise it's unusual that the modem would need know the WAN IP in bridge mode, unless it's acting as a DHCP proxy as well 🤷

[spare orbit]

woul say just dhcp with all ports opened

[hot mortar]

bridge mode should mean "the modem passes traffic through directly to the ISP without routing it", which should mean the modem doesn't need an IP address of its own. leaving it up to your ISP how to assign the address.

[spare orbit]

that wouldnt work with many hardware branded connections

like the login to our isp is actually the modem

[hot mortar]

some ISPs will give you a public IPv4 address the first time you DHCP but if you bridge multiple PCs through your modem (or get a new router) they will fall back to giving you non-public IPv4 addresses

[spare orbit]

is there any desription what bridge mode does?

[hot mortar]

Can you look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network and tell us if the WAN IP on your router is within one of the stated "private" ranges on that page?

[forest anchor]

you wanting to know the bitblock ? for my local ip

?

im still vary new to networking

but still learning

[hot mortar]

basically if it starts with 10., 192.168., 172.16.-172.31., or 100.64.-100.127. then it cannot be routed on the internet and that is why you are having this issue

[forest anchor]

well locally it was 10. but i changed it to 192.168 but for public ip is 50.

[hot mortar]

that's fine and normal if your local addresses are within this range. if the WAN IP of your pfSense box starts with 50. then it is a public IP address and should be usable.

[forest anchor]

ya like other servers work fine like i can run farming sim just fine and web servers but for some reason satisfactory is like NOPE lol

[hot mortar]

actually I think I see the problem. if your pfSense config, you have source ports specified. only the destination port needs to be specified. the source port is determined by the client connecting to the server and is totally random.

so if there is a way to remove the "source port" from your forwarding config or specify "any" I would try doing that.

[forest anchor]

well i got the port and ip set for any for source and still nothing

what is also odd is when i use fing on my phone and i check for ports on that ip only port 22 is showing up even tho on the linux box i did 7777 and 15000 and 15777

ya so im vary lost of why its not working

[hot mortar]

oof. does fping check UDP ports? Satisfactory only needs UDP connectivity. A lot of apps only use TCP

port 22/tcp is typically for SSH so that makes sense

[forest anchor]

not sure i can check if it has a udp setting

[past acorn]

for the satisfactory.service file, do I need to also include the '-beta experimental' in that? Or just in the initial steamcmd command to install?

Here's what it looks like, and the second one is the "factoryserver.sh" file

Since updating, I'm having trouble connecting to it again. It seems to see it initially, gives a ping and says it's an ongoing game, but won't connect.

The update seems to have worked, though, because if I try to access it on my U7 install, it says the game versions don't match.

[hot mortar]

This is typical on U8 and you probably want a workaround like this: #dedicated-servers message

No need for -beta in the server command itself.

[past acorn]

gotcha. So for trying the multihome command, I would use the server's internal IP, right? Or should I try 0.0.0.0 first?

[hot mortar]

I'm not sure because I use the 2nd one 😅

[past acorn]

haha ok no worries. I'll try it out and see which works lol. Thanks!

[hot mortar]

Sadly it is more difficult to check UDP ports for connectivity (unlike TCP there is no connection handshake). If the exact same configuration worked with your old ISP I would start leaning toward "my ISP might be blocking the traffic". 😞

[loud minnow]

Like I said nobody in here can really help you out they can suggest thing but this come down to your set up and how is all connected like I said this game had a very bad implementation of DS so blame the devs lol

It works as long as you keep it simple lol

[past acorn]

Regarding the "-DisablePacketRouting" launch option, does that go on the 'ExecStartPre' line or the 'ExecStart' line? Or does that need to be added to my .sh file?

[hot mortar]

Added to the FactoryServer.sh arguments.

[past acorn]

It works! Thank you

[forest anchor]

found out my issue it was a nat issue that was not set right 3 check box later fixed it lol

[hot mortar]

what wasn't set correctly? (asking in case it helps somebody else eventually)

[tame remnant]

got a problem, saving a blueprint crashes the server

any suggestions?

[spare orbit]

idk, never happened for us

[deep turret]

it basically act as a switch instead of as a router, and drop managing the network

it is usefull when you put another router behind, so there is only one router

[past acorn]

Oh, something I just remembered - if I want to increase the number of auto saves on my server, where is that done? Server management in game?

[rancid warren]

is normal?

[fluid acorn]

any idea why when I try to connect to a server hosted on my own network I am getting these errors?

[hot mortar]

I don't have experience with this, but it looks like in the dockerized server they specify it here: https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server/blob/8e0c880a83fdd064a5b4fcb44e602d11a7dd3515/Engine.ini#L43

[hot mortar]

Yeah, I see that too. I think that is because the server is running as an "anonymous" steam user. So "this is fine".

[hot mortar]

This is likely to be the known issue with update 8. See also: #dedicated-servers message

[fluid acorn]

So I had tried the -multihome=<ip> before, is there any way to tell from the console output if it actually worked?

like, this is what I did

I also tried with multihome=<machine's IP> and it didnt work

I am guessing this is the problem?

[hot mortar]

I don't know of anything definitive. I'll watch my server console the next time and connect and let you know if I see anything. When it's in the failure mode, I do see it trying to connect.
Although now that you've pasted the screenshot, I see the problem. Try changing that to:

FactoryGame -DisablePacketRouting "$@"

By combining the $@ and the other argument into a single quoted block, you're asking the shell to treat them as a single parameter.

Also, it looks like you're modifying the actual FactoryGame.sh? I think that ships with the server; typically instead of modifying that you would want to add the argument to whatever is calling FactoryGame.sh.

[fluid acorn]

yea I realize it would get wiped in an update, I was just trying to connect for now

using that I see no connection at all in the log @hot mortar

OOOHHH i rebooted the machine and it worked

I think I did something weird with steam it didnt like

[hot mortar]

ah maybe the server was still running. I was out of ideas. 😅 I was going to suggest shutting everything down and then running ./FactoryServer.sh -DisablePacketRouting (or -multihome instead; up to you)

[fluid acorn]

yea I ended up using multihome cause I think something is acting weird and it was trying to use IPv6 for stuff

[rancid warren]

thank you

[sinful nymph]

ipv6 support seems fucked given that disabling the ipv6 traffic has fixed so many people's problems

[spare orbit]

not fucked, just not configured for many while being default

so people open ports for ipv4 and wondering, why v6 doesnt work

also some dont even have v6 address

or the server still doesnt have v6

many reasons and the game is actual new and uses v6 as default

as its recommended

[mild zenith]

Hello and good morning,

[spare orbit]

its afternoon

[mild zenith]

i have a quetion with the meu of advance Game setting. for 2 weeks are the menu on but now i cant find or open the advance game settings menu in launge menu or on server menu.

[spare orbit]

you have a savegame with it enabled?

[mild zenith]

for 2 weeks it was on. But now i no see it.

[spare orbit]

you need to be on a save that has it enabled

so not in main menu or on any save where its not enabled

[mild zenith]

ok, but how can i enabled the sav game? what for a program?

[spare orbit]

when you load it, there is a checkbox next to the load button

[mild zenith]

ah ok thank you

[spare orbit]

cant be reverted

btw

so when you save that, it will be forever in that save

[mild zenith]

i have seen it and make it, thanks for help

[ancient crown]

Is there a way to override "
route from <IP> to <IP> hasn't been used in more than 300.000000 seconds. closing it.
"?
I would love to have my server online all the time. ^^

[loud minnow]

mine is onine all the time without changing anything so....

[ancient crown]

Hmmm, thats weird...

[fluid acorn]

That is about closing the route, not the server

[ancient crown]

What does that mean exactly? 😅

Did anyone recognize this behavior?

The server is offline and stays like this. Recreated Container and updated Doker allready.

[loud minnow]

Just post the whole log file

You can drop the whole txt file on here because that doesn’t mean anything what you posted

If it just closes and you have it ruining without anyone online could be that it crashed or you don’t see any error but for that just have a restart script to bring it back online that all you can do

[tawny mountain]

Hope this helps

[sullen drum]

Hey guys. I own a dedicated Linux server and am trying to host Satisfactory but I can't connect to it and always get a timeout. Can anyone help?

[civic lantern]

what is the setup and what have you done to make it work?

there's nothing to go on here. just to take a blind guess, add -multihome=0.0.0.0 to your startup command for the server, and I'll bet that fixes it.

[earnest fjord]

Running dedicated server experimental and experimental client. Still have the trees randomly regrowing thru my base issue that's been around since Satisfactory 3.0 lol. The ones that come back I can't even chainsaw down, any way to deal with these so they stay gone?

[loud minnow]

honestly i dont see anything wrong from the logs just that it was running and it stop no crash or anything so might be something closing it down

[tawny mountain]

I just deleted all gamefiles maybe this fixes something

[latent forge]

Hello all I am running a server and in the server log shows Warning OSS. Is this normal or what is it trying to do that it cant?

[civic lantern]

does the server work otherwise y/n

i've seen this before. It appears harmless.

[latent forge]

Works fine

Just as I say that server crashed I think .. weird.

Yeah just crashed the CMD window closed.

[inner edge]

Anyone have any idea why my dedicated server would have randomly stopped accepting external connections? I've checked my port forwarding and all that, It still lets me connect on my LAN, but its not getting the requests from the external. I have other servers running on this pc too and those are recieving connections just fine. I also tried setting the -multihome=0.0.0.0 as well

[latent forge]

So the server has now crashed 2 times .. its happening when deleting items on the map. (F) key remover.

[gentle lava]

question, do i have to play on the experimental build to play on dedicated servers?

[sinful nymph]

"route" is closing a specific connection
so the server is closing your connection, not the world

however there are settings that make it so the world runs/doesn't run when people aren't online

[sinful nymph]

there's a non-experimental dedicated server and an experimental dedicated server

[keen nimbus]

Hello.. I had an issue trying to log into my dedicated server with a couple of client crashes. now I have two offline players just sitting there, one witth no doubt all my gear on it.. how do I get rid of these offline players and get my gear back ? 😄 I tried turning it off and on again already.

[sinful nymph]

kill their bodies

[keen nimbus]

effective.

thanks

mental note to self.. be more aggressive in life.

[sinful nymph]

😄

[sturdy gust]

I've just managed to log chat messages and when someone joins a dedicated server to a Discord server 😄 Going to test it out for a few days on my server before rolling it out on the Docker image 👀

Just gotta figure out logging disconnects

[hot mortar]

says the person whose profile picture is the logo for the klingon empire 😓
i assume you didn't kill them because it would be without honor

[sullen drum]

Hey guys. would anyone be willing to help me fix the Timeout when connecting to my Satisfactory server? Using -multihome=0.0.0.0 didn't work

[loud minnow]

Most of the time is networking issue like maybe your usb blocking access for some reason we don’t know and that’s is something that won’t show on the logs if you already did what was mention and nothing worked

[sullen drum]

I managed to join the server and play on it for 5 minutes. I left the server and tried joining again but I keep getting timeouts again

[loud minnow]

Well idk look through the logs see what’s wrong if your using a provider maybe that’s the issue.. if not and you live in Europe/UK maybe is your isp idk so many things that could cause issues

[sinful nymph]

sick!

[latent forge]

Can someone help me figure out why my server keeps crashing? It's only happening during delteing itmes from the map.

Windows 10 Pro VM
4 Cores @ 2.60GHZ
20.0 GB Ram
150 GB SSD raid 5

[vernal zenith]

anyone know what this meens

[spare orbit]

2.6 ghz quadcore sure is way too weak

also ssd in raid 5 sounds really weird and is actually not really suited for gaming etc

it tanks the performance quite hard and has nothing positive for gameservers

its for databases that are mainly fo reading many tiny things

[latent forge]

the cpu chills at around 10-20% most of the time.

[spare orbit]

it has hyperthreading, right?

[latent forge]

I'm running my own home server with SSD based storage on raid 5 with cache controller. Raid 5 is fine I get more the 2GB/s read and write.

ESXI

vsphere

[spare orbit]

so to explain the cpu utilization.
the game is single threaded, and with hyperthreading a single thread has 12,5 % of the whole cpu. so the maximum you can reach with that and few helper threads is around 20 %
so yes, you running at limit

the game needs single core performance, thats the main limit

[latent forge]

I can reboot with a singel core to see whats up

[spare orbit]

and 2.6 ghz is like nothing

[spare orbit]

you dont want to virtualize hyperthreading

also multi sockets

[latent forge]

2.60 base 3.60 turbo is the cpu

Ill reboot without HT

[spare orbit]

thats not it

i dont get the weird setup

[latent forge]

Its a VM server

This is just one vm on the rig

[spare orbit]

still scuffed setup

why woul you virtualize sockets?

[latent forge]

Not at all

[spare orbit]

it is scuffed. let me tell you that as a sysop

[latent forge]

Look into ESXI Vsphere and HV this is normal

[spare orbit]

you do 1 socket and then core.
not 2 sockets when you only have 4 cores

[latent forge]

I changed it b4 Screen capture. THe host has waaaay more than 4 cores

[spare orbit]

is it for one of mine

[spare orbit]

no need to tell me, its a cute xeon

but yeah. 3.6 boost is kinda low

[latent forge]

Its a E5 lol not a i9 😛

[spare orbit]

unsuited for gameservers

[latent forge]

Nah its more than fine.

[spare orbit]

trust me, its not

[latent forge]

Have a good one.

[spare orbit]

the server just runs on one thread. and 3.6 ghz is at most okayish

so its limited by that

[latent forge]

Right so your first saying with Raid 5 is weird and its a scuffed setup. If you truly knew HV servers youd know how this is setup and how Hardware Based Raid works with cahce. This raid 5 is not a SW raid. Ill get er sorted out.

[spare orbit]

also hw raid 5 isnt suited for gameservers

[latent forge]

Tiz fine when backed with all SSDS non HDDS

[spare orbit]

still lower performance than just a normal ssd. but thats not the problem of the game you have. its mostlikely the multi socket virtualization and too low single core performance

[latent forge]

This game seems to be very low disk activity anyhow. Only 2 players non public.

[spare orbit]

it is low disk needed. works on old hdds

[latent forge]

Point proven ... Riad 5 is fine.

[spare orbit]

worse than not having it, but fine to use. wasnt the point that it doesnt work, just being suboptimal

but yeah the actual problem might be, uh, multi socket scheduling on win10 is, lets call it garbage, to name it still half nicely

[latent forge]

MIght be worth win 11 maybe.

Loads up xp

[spare orbit]

win10 has problems and fucks up scheduling with

• multi sockets
• different coretypes

so all recent intels with big little fail as well as amd with mixed ccds on x3d cpus

and servers doing not specifically server stuff

11 fixed all of this

and many other performance poblems

[latent forge]

Ill kick it over to win 11 and give er a go. I just fixed the stupid core bs with VMware tools who knew. THat may help it talk to the host better.

[spare orbit]

you fixed what?

[latent forge]

only single socket now non dual. also its reporting to the host properly now.
I had to install the VM tools so the VM can talk to the host.

[spare orbit]

that shouldnt be needed for most things

[latent forge]

windows 10

The vista of OS

[spare orbit]

i skipped 10 and im happy 11 fixed most problems

though im not running windows on our servers

[latent forge]

I may go linux or docker

less overhead anyhow

[spare orbit]

btw, what exactly does the A in the name of the cpu stands for. never came in contact with one

[latent forge]

Do you know how to fix all the OSS warnings? or is that just normal junk

[spare orbit]

only know they are quite rare

[latent forge]

The "A" means active, and that indicates that the processor needs and active fan to work properly.

https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/What-does-quot-A-quot-suffix-in-Xeon-E5-2697A-v4-mean/m-p/283008

[spare orbit]

huh. thats for most xeons when you actually have load on them

oss as in open sound system or something else?

[latent forge]

This one

[spare orbit]

ah. EOS SDK is the epic online services

idk about that specifically, but i guess its the same as with all other warning: normal and no problem

looks like some firewall stuff

request failed and then some other stuff it does

[latent forge]

Actually per the wiki it’s not single threaded. It just prefers a stronger core over Ht. But it will HT.

[spare orbit]

games always have one main thread and several helpers

but its always limited by the single core performance

the client has two mains, but the server doesnt have to manage any graphic stuff, so it doesnt use the second one

also: thats the deprecated and non official wiki

the games threading loosely is like this

one main thread, one drawing thread. many of almost nothing threads

and you always cap with that one main thread first for obvious reasons

thats why most datacenter cpus are a really bad choice for stuff like gaming

many cores, but fail with the needed single core performance

because games are unable to parallelize much

thats why i also get different types of servers for different types of work. for games thats often run by a desktop cpu, because you need single core performance and not many threads

[latent forge]

I’ll see if Linux helps less overhead costs

[keen tulip]

Can someone maybe tell me whether is possible to manipulate the amount of inventory slots that the player have on dedicated server?

[rapid haven]

everytime i open my VM to open server. My ip change...

is there a way to keep my rooter port open for that vm?

[fallen dagger]

set a static IP on your VM instead of DHCP or set your DHCP to always assign your VM the same IP

[fallen moat]

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to ask a question and I apologize if it's been answered but I also didn't want to spend hours reading discord. I have a dedi server set up on separate hardware, I have gotten it running and I can connect to it from another computer on the LAN, but my external friend cannot and the ports always say closed when I check on a port checker. They should be open, as other games on the server work using albeit different ports but set up in the router the same way. I am using an MR60 Netgear Mesh network and the server is running Windows Server 2019. Any ideas?

[loud minnow]

you would have to post the complete logs to see what the issue is.... but 90 percent of the time is networking issue and you might have to try -multihome=<ip address> or -DisablePacketRouting in your start up options for the server..

[fallen moat]

Thanks! Ill try that

[void pumice]

Hey, does anybody run a satisfactory dedicated server using pterodactyl. Im having some issues that might be stemming from using pterodactyl that im not quite sure of.

[slender sorrel]

I get the feeling the egg might be too out of date, but I've not personally tried it

If you're getting any kind of error or anything, would be wise to post it anyways since it's entirely possible someone who's not using Pterodactyl can still help you

[void pumice]

it seems more to be a port forwarding issue more than anything

[slender sorrel]

🤔 Would depend on your host

Who are you using?

[void pumice]

its self hosted using pterodactyl on a ubuntu server

LAN connection to the server works

however port connection give me a timeout

[slender sorrel]

Have you tried other games?

[void pumice]

tried everything under the sun to get it to work

[void pumice]

not yet

[slender sorrel]

and you've gone through your router's settings and port forwarded everything?

[void pumice]

yeah ports 7777, 15777, 15000

all open in the router

[slender sorrel]

I suppose one way you can check if it's working by disconnecting and trying to connect to your panel from outside of the network

with port 80/443 open or whatever

unless localhost doesn't work either

in which case... no idea

[void pumice]

everything local works like a charm

everything outside of the network doesnt work

[slender sorrel]

so then probably not pterodactyl

[void pumice]

the server however is being recognised by satisfactory just times me out in 20 seconds

[slender sorrel]

I know I've had issues with a specific router in the past and I could not get port forwarding to work at all

[slender sorrel]

oh. that's a different story. The egg was last updated for update 5, so part of me thinks it's just too out of date in some regard

[void pumice]

yeah, we have had docker minecraft servers running fine, just wanted to use pterodactyl to run a satisfactory server so i didnt have to pay for hosting

[void pumice]

doesnt explain why it works locally tho

unless it was ports that have been changed

[slender sorrel]

I think I misunderstood

[void pumice]

it says it was last updated for UE5

3 months ago

but i think its a port based issue

[slender sorrel]

oh UE5 I misread that

[void pumice]

server is just closing connection immediately after clicking join with no reason

[slender sorrel]

um... well I guess make sure the ports that are open are UDP ports, not TCP

[void pumice]

Yeah that was the first thing i checked, i think the way the querry port redirects from 15777 to the server port could be the issue but im unsure as that would take a long time of digging to find

[slender sorrel]

I'd test but I can't since my server is ARM64

[slender sorrel]

wdym?

[void pumice]

So, from my understanding 15777 is a query port, so it takes a connection from that port and then redirect it to the game port which in pterodactyls case is port 27015.

my assumption is that when it attempts to redirect, it closes the connection and causes a timeout

or atleast thats what seems to be happening in the console log

[slender sorrel]

wait what where did you get 27015

Can you perhaps show your Pterodactyl build config?

[void pumice]

Pterodactyl auto assigns game ports based on the ports you open, that port shouldn't do anything

its just a placeholder for 15777 to redirect to

[slender sorrel]

so what is the port you used in Pterodactyl's allocation?

[void pumice]

might have figured it out, one sec

just testing a theory

we didnt assign port 7777 to satisfactory so maybe that caused an issue

testing now

nvm didnt fix it

[slender sorrel]

what allocations do you have for this server

[void pumice]

27015, 7777, 15777, 15000

[slender sorrel]

why do you have 4 D:

[void pumice]

27015 being the game port for pterodactyl

[slender sorrel]

is that the port you have in the build configuration?

[void pumice]

yes let me sc rn so i can send you it

Allocations

[slender sorrel]

when I said build configuration I actually meant "startup"

I forgot that it gets moved to that once the server is created

I guess also show the "allocation management" section of the build configuration

[void pumice]

the alllocation section only has the ip and the port 27015 in gameport

just trying to up the timeout and see if that helps

possible that 20 isnt enough

[slender sorrel]

20 seconds? if it takes that long, expect tons of lag

[void pumice]

well its aussie internet so i dont expect much

but its always hitting the 20 second timeout

[slender sorrel]

Well, can you show allocation management and your startup settings?

[void pumice]

welp your gonna hate me but the dude hosting the server just got off so unfortunately i cannot show the startup and allocation management

sorry if ive wasted your time

[slender sorrel]

oh yes

Well, ping me when you can, I suppose

[void pumice]

will do

thankyou for helping thus far

[slender sorrel]

no problem

[loud minnow]

you would have to post the complete logs to see what the issue is.... but 90 percent of the time is networking issue and you might have to try -multihome=<ip address> or -DisablePacketRouting in your start up options for the server..

[slender sorrel]

Pterodactyl adds -multihome=0.0.0.0 by default

[loud minnow]

Yeah I don’t use Pterodactyl I used it once and it was pretty trash imo because u had to use eggs(thier own version of docker containers) is just for a pretty gui but is just simpler to use wolvix docker img imo but that just me but if it does… then he should be able to connect if he can’t than is an issue with either the software or his machine blocking the connection..

or maybe has has to use -DisablePacketRouting instead

[sullen drum]

Same for me. Tried different startup options and server providers. I always get a timeout

[void pumice]

i've just installed a fresh version of ubuntu server and im testing docker steamcmd once it's downloaded

hopefully the fresh install fixes the issues

[deep turret]

maybe it could be related to ongoing network binding issues ?

[unborn sequoia]

how do i make a server on sf that people can join in here?

[sinful nymph]

do you have hardware for it

[unborn sequoia]

widm

[sinful nymph]

a server computer or something in the cloud

like a digitalocean droplet

hetzner vm

[unborn sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-no-nonono-noooo-cat-no-gif-25423213

[sinful nymph]

you're going to need something high end for this

[unborn sequoia]

hhmmmm

wiat

wait

lemme post

[sinful nymph]

hm?

[unborn sequoia]

wait i cant find it now

[sinful nymph]

what are you looking for

[unborn sequoia]

never mind i found it

[sinful nymph]

??

[rugged forge]

what pass he ask for?

[crisp spoke]

that should be the admin password set when the admin took ownership of the server

[rugged forge]

i try to open it at mine PC

and i dont know where to find it

pass frop EPIC?

[crisp spoke]

normally the passwords are set when you first connect to the server

[rugged forge]

ok.... but should be a place when i can see it?

[crisp spoke]

I think you need to find your ServerSettings file and delete it https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/y5eifu/forgot_admin_password_for_dedicated_server/

I'm guessing the password is encrypted on the disk so probably easier than trying to decrypt it

[deep turret]

IIRC it is not, but it should

[deep turret]

if you just upgraded u7 to u8 then just delete the ServerSettings.port file in the save parent folder

(what Jabba already said but with some other info, and phrased differently)

[rugged forge]

i dont have that folders

[deep turret]

you should, it's where the save are put in

[rugged forge]

the save from Dedicateright?

not the game

thats it right?

[crisp spoke]

looks right

[deep turret]

yep ServerSettings.<port>

just before the actual saves

[rugged forge]

that says what i need to open ports right?

[rugged forge]

all work THX!!!

[reef snow]

How to catch griefers in a public server anyone ? I'm a moderator in a semi popular discord server and someone logged into one of our servers and wrecked roughly 5 hours of factory building which was a lot of production. Unfortunately we dont have autosave backup from the time before the grief

[spare orbit]

you cant

no backup for over 5 hours is like the worst idea ive ever heard of.
as well as unprotected public servers

but no way to see in the past who did what

when you know exact time and nobody else was there, you could get minimal information out of the logs

[reef snow]

You're right I'm discussing with the Owner about implementing backups on the hosting platform. This server only had two players so it would be easy to see who logged in. Was only earlier today

[frosty gale]

for real!

maybe if you logged coordinates of players occasionally on the server. like every x seconds log each players world position, then you should be able to cross reference that with there ip , epic, and steam info. requires admin to configure a bunch of stuff, good for future greifers

having an bi-hourly or even hourly backup is common amoung most other games i play on at.

[sinful nymph]

I go for 30 minute backups storing the past 72 hours

[reef snow]

Yeah we've got a few hundred in our server but griefings never been an issue pretty peaceful for the most part. This is new for us

[sinful nymph]

always assume malice

[frosty gale]

my azure server backs up the entire thing every 12 mins in the background transparent to the users behind the normal game bckup.

ya first time i heard of it,

[reef snow]

Is there a way to discover a players steam or epic ID using the satisfactory calculator?

I found the player that griefed on the calculator and their player ID

[sinful nymph]

ask the satisfactory calc server discord.gg / 0sFOD6GxFZRc1ad0

they would prob know best

[spare orbit]

the servers does backups itself

just set the amouunt it keeps higher

nothing special needed

[mint junco]

@whole meadow my save file as requested.
Thanks Coffeestain, it helps a lot :0)

[deep turret]

did you set user password on your server ?

I recommend you changing it if you want to restrict who can log in

that's the only real way of preventing people to connect without your aggreement

[loud minnow]

Change the port of the game simple as that the only way

[deep turret]

? wdym Ace

there is user password, if they want preventing anyone external from connecting

even though you may want to change port too, that's not the only way for that

[lilac juniper]

What the limit on the amount of saves you can have?
Is there an out of game/menu way to create a new game save?

[deep turret]

No
No

the limit is your folder size

for filesystem like ext4 or ntfs that's over millions files

[twilit fox]

this is a silly question... I forgot the password to my sever, how do i fix? lol

[slim stone]

i was gonna troubleshoot you for server issues but then i remembered what channel we are in

[twilit fox]

server works, I just can't login to it as adminstrator.

[slim stone]

hmm, do you have acces to the server, as in you are hosting it on your PC?

[twilit fox]

yeah

[slim stone]

there usually are commands to reset passwords, or change them

[twilit fox]

wiki says the server config is in the save games folder... I can't even find that

[slim stone]

but i haven't set up a satisfactory server so don't know what those are

oh, for the saves

[twilit fox]

this is a server setup with steamcmd but I'll look

[slim stone]

then you should check the commands that were used, it probably has the save folder in there somewhere

[twilit fox]

nope, nothing in local D:

I think I'm just going to nuke it and reinstall it. I'm sure it's in there.. but I don't really like that it installed in c:\

[slim stone]

that is another solution

but even then, i recommend you find where the saves are

just in case

[loud minnow]

Yeah if people know the port to your game because you use default just change it to another port that they don’t know and is fix now they can’t join because they don’t know the port only way to prevent people from joining if they already know the port.

[twilit fox]

well after nuking the sever... it still remembers the password

[slim stone]

oh

guess need to find that save folder

[deep turret]

but that's not the only way, as I said you can set password so they are meet with password and they dont have it so they cant enter the game

[deep turret]

it's along server save files, it is not in server software files

[deep turret]

same as here

here on windows

In Linux :
~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/
In Windows :
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\
when using the user the server run as

[loud minnow]

From what I know the password you set if for the admin stuff like loading a save etc but when you join a dedicated server and you put the ip and port it just joins the sever if is already running without asking for a password

[deep turret]

there is another password

it is not set by default

when you go in server manager with admin, you can set both

[loud minnow]

Ohhh I see

I would just change the port but I guess it must have been added recently or I never bother to look lol

[deep turret]

I didnt notice either first, but it's here since 0.7.x

[loud minnow]

I see well learned something new lol

[deep turret]

for those who wonder / for reference

[twilit fox]

thanks

[frosty gale]

learn something new everyday ty for sharing

[deep turret]

Anyone know how far away we are from stability on dedicated experimental servers, been doing a build for the past few years but reached a point lately where it crashes so frequently I've felt forced to give up with it.

[deep turret]

physics will get a fix in next update so maybe it will be more stable but don't hope too much

[scenic musk]

is there a way to convert the game save to the normal branch?

[desert walrus]

Nope

[deep turret]

waiting for normal branch to catchup

[rapid haven]

how can I run experimental 8 dedicated server ?!?

[crisp spoke]

you'll want to read through https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[covert granite]

My friends are able to join a dedicated server but for some reason I'm not able to even see it online. I did a lot of troubleshooting but if anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it. A reddit post took me here and this is kind of my last shot. Only thing I can think of is either my ISP is blocking it or some type of cached file. I turned off firewalls, don't use VPN, and I can ping the IP

[rapid haven]

did you forward the port to the server?

[glad nest]

different game version?

[covert granite]

we're using the same version but I haven't forwarded the port to the server

I need to forward the port on my router?

[glad nest]

should not need to port forward unless you are looking to host tbh

are you able to join them directly?

[covert granite]

no I can't join through the friends list or server manager

[glad nest]

only explanation i guess is your game version then tbh

[edgy hornet]

I had an issue like this when i hosted on ipv6, my friend wouldnt be able to connect through satisfactory, but otherwise able to interact with the server. And i had no issues connecting to it. Opening the ipv4 ports too fixed it for him.

[deep turret]

if I understand correctly, your friend is hosting the server
do you know how ?
your friend maybe missing something

[covert granite]

They're using a hosting platform to run the server, my other friends can see and connect to it. We're using the same version, I validated game file integrity, and reinstalled

[sinful nymph]

Pinging the ip doesn't mean udp ports are open 😄

Make sure their own ufw isn't blocking them

[covert granite]

Solved the issue, it probably has something to do with my ISP blocking the hosting IP or port. I used another hosting service to go around this issue.

[void pumice]

For Anybody experiencing issues with pterodactyl

Just run the steam cmd using docker and run it normally if you are only going to be running one server

its not worth the pain

[deep turret]

it would not make much sense
it probably is more the hosting provider that was blocking / not seeing your ip / isp correctly

[vernal socket]

Hello Satisfactory friends! I need some help with my dedicated server. I went through the SteamCMD and got my server set up with a created .bat file. I went to my router's page and set-up port forwarding, but when I try to connect to the server, it says it's unavailable. I went into my Windows firewall settings and added 3 Inbound Rules for the ports. I think I'm having issues on my router side (not sure which IP addresses to choose).

[sinful nymph]

Did you forward the right ports? Do you have your router's public IP right? Do you have your private IP correct for the server?

[deep turret]

makes sure the rules are right port and are UDP (not TCP)

[mint junco]

This is a side effect of trees which cannot be cut down on dedicated server, buildables are placed in the air.

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/648f533387a1e63b6cee587a

[mint junco]

The workaround was to move the save over to single player where I built all the foundation touching components (at 9fps).
Now resave and move it back to the server where I can finish it off at 60fps.
Of course this doesn't solve the problem with trees which cannot be cut down but works around the issue for long enough for it to not be a problem.

[mint junco]

After moving the save back to the server the floor was still clear.
Then after going to pick up some materials all the trees are back.
Foliage grows fast in the Swamp.

[covert granite]

I'm sure this has been discussed but I found a bug with the hyperloops that seems to be a server/client error. If you build the hyperloops from point a to point b the server seems to consider it working normally but the client will boot you backwards going point b to point a from the last b section. After a while the server will teleport the player to point a. Only work around was to delete the last section and recreate it going from point b-a.

[eternal dragon]

I haven't tested it in a private world yet, but in dedicated servers I play when I use mmb on pipes, the mode goes to > N/A and I can't build the pipe

doesn't really affects gameplay but its very annoying

[deep turret]

known bug
I think there will be a big patch package about all that stuff on next update as snutt talked about a new network management being in work

[scenic musk]

Hi can anyone advise what the Steam App ID would be for the None experimental dedicated server ?

[wispy dawn]

So we have been using satisfactory steam CMD -beta experimental for ages. We are seeing issues with stability now. So wanted to revert to the none beta. So I removed the -beta experimental from the CMS line it updated but the game version is still the same. So uninstalled it and fresh install with no -beta experimental still the same... any ideas?

[loud minnow]

Well if you read the https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers you would know that you have to leave -beta and just change the experimental to public but I guess you didn’t read the wiki that is on top of this discord

[deep turret]

the ID is for the game
every branch of the same game have the same id
all is controlled by -beta flag

[void tapir]

Are mods supported? I can’t seem to figure out how to get them to work multiplayer

[wispy dawn]

Appreciated, done that and it now crashes upon load. Also done a fresh install no change.

[loud minnow]

Well depends on the specs of the server update 7 RAM requirements are pretty high to even load a map you need at 11GB free but the best option is just to post the logs to see why it crash you can post the whole log in here..

[gaunt shadow]

Hello i have a old dedicated server, how to i find the map path directory on the dedicated server (SteamCMD)

[deep turret]

the map path ?
what do you mean ?
are you searching the save files ?

[wispy dawn]

Worked fine until changing to the public branch rather than beta.

[deep turret]

and that's what Ace is talking about

early access is update 7
experimental is update 8
and update 7 have very high raw RAM requirements

[cold ruin]

Hi, i got a weird thing going on with my linux server: configured the game.ini with ConnectionTimeout=60 and i still get sometimes booted from the game with timeout exceeded 30 ... like it somehow doesnt pickup the server settings. Any ideas?

[twilit fox]

is this acceptable?

it launches in powershell. the desired effect is if it crashes, it'll relaunch it on it's own without any input.

[cold ruin]

Hi @twilit fox Did you mean that for me? I apologise because i was a bit unclear in my previous post. I do not get completely booted out of the game but out of the session with the following error.
And i know a bit more now after some testing: It happens when a save is going on (both manual and automated) every time it kicks me out of the session with a timeout.
And i have set both server and client to the same timeserver and timezone.

[deep turret]

there are multiple timeout values both on the server and on the client
iirc some of them are not correctly provided in the wiki
note that it may be the client that decides to timeout
you may need the current common network fix scheme (-multihome=x.x.x.x) in your start script, after you checked you correctly opened and forwarded ports

[cold ruin]

I run it as a service on linux, so i suppose i have add it to satisfactory.service file at end of the line : ExecStart=/home/your_user/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryServer.sh ?

Thanks for the suggestion and i was able to configure it with that option (and reload daemon etc)...
However unfortunately it did not solve my initial problem that i get kicked from the session to the main menu on save.
Edit: even did a hard reboot of the server but still the same issue. It's really weird 😖

[deep turret]

what option did you use in this line exactly ?
-multihome=0.0.0.0 ? (this is the most basic way to use that setting)
note the = and value must have no space between them
did you check your ports ?

[cold ruin]

And currently i don't have the firewall enabled as i only run it locally on my lan.
I can connect to it ingame and manage it trough the gui so the ports are (should be) open.

[deep turret]

as there is multiple ports, sometimes the main port is working, but the other ports are struggling to connect
sometimes it's because the server confuse itself in the network linux stack, that's why using multihome setting is recommended to prevent that happening
is the 192.168.1.113 address the local address of the server ? (it should)
if it is the local address of your client (machine/computer/pc) then it will not work

usually local network connections are working fine

[cold ruin]

It's the server adress

and its also a static ip

but you mentioned that the client also has some timeout settings, whould you know where those settings are located?

[deep turret]

ok, then maybe it's a more general problem, I suppose you are running on update7 (public/early-access) ?
I see it uses almost 15GB of RAM, so it's a quite big save file I suppose

[deep turret]

I should dive back in my own settings to not say stupid things, but IIRC there is 2 timeout settings for server and for client, so 4 in total

[cold ruin]

(That is the virual memory that is shown. ie what the server would use if it 100% would all libs that are loaded with satisfactory server software) the actual mem use is around 10 gigs

[deep turret]

there is the server connection settlement timeout, and the game connection settlement timeout, and both the server and the client are watching this, and timeout if the other does not activate in time

[deep turret]

so you have free RAM available on your server machine ?

[cold ruin]

Yea it has 16 gigs

[deep turret]

free/available RAM ? or total on the machine ?

because only available is interesting here

[cold ruin]

total so about 6 gigs free but tbh it was never an issu about 2 weeks ago... somehow it suddenly started to act up

[deep turret]

you can test to see if the server runs the game by checking if the game time increases on the server front tab

[cold ruin]

it does, it runs normally otherwise... itjust times-out when a save is happening (either manually or automatically))

[deep turret]

and you have that setting disabled :

[cold ruin]

And i configured the engine.ini on the server to timeout after 60 sec on bot the server and client

[deep turret]

(sorry for delay, I launched my server to screenshot it)

[cold ruin]

no i have that still enabled

let me test that to see what happens if i turn that off

[deep turret]

but this is still ticking ?

what I'm trying to do is to check the server is actually running the game even if can't connect

[cold ruin]

uff moment pls , accidently started a local game >.<

Ok perhaps there is an indication now... (i have unchecked the " pause the game when no players are connected" option)
But on the moment the save starts, the servertime (game duration) stops updating.

[deep turret]

otherwise you are seeing it updating/ticking ?

[cold ruin]

with normal gameplay, yes

[deep turret]

I mean rightnow ?

[cold ruin]

oh yes also (sorry for the confusion)

[deep turret]

ok, then you can re-enable pausing the game, if it is ticking alone, it means the server game runs fine

[cold ruin]

i forgot about an option to see a live log... let me see what that will show.. ( journalctl --follow -u satisfactory.service )

[deep turret]

so now for timeouts, I currently have these settings set on the server, but only one file-set is really applying, I dont remember which one, but I think it is the Game.ini one now :

[deep turret]

it will be very verbose / long to read

[cold ruin]

Wait in game.ini? i added it to the engine.ini

(yea it will but perhaps it will show something there

[deep turret]

the key thing to keep an eye on is the master [setting/name] thing in the top of the section

you always need your settings to be below the right [setting/name] section

[cold ruin]

Ok i have done that , I have this currently:

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]
MaxClientRate=130000
MaxInternetClientRate=130000
NetServerMaxTickRate=20
LanServerMaxTickRate=20

(yea tick 20... old hardware, this keeps it from stuttring while playing lol)

but my client still shows that 30 sec timeout >.<

[deep turret]

put it in Game.ini as in my screen then
and do the same on your client to make sure it is applying everywhere
but you need to gracefully restart the server for it to get the new settings

[cold ruin]

where is the path on the client that has those config files?

or rather... what is the path on the client?

[deep turret]

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\Windows

[cold ruin]

Ahhh. yea i have nothing set over there

Ok, next test 🙂

ok adding it locally to the game.ini didnt solve the issue now also adding it locally to the engine.ini

next test

[deep turret]

I will check mine

ok can't say, mine reseted

[cold ruin]

Allright i have it!!!
engine.ini is the one to adjust and now i also have a possible reason on why it happend

I kept building ingame and simply just play and so increasing the save size. I suspect it got so big that it needed more time to save than the standard time of 30sec allowed (it took about 35 sec to save now)

And now also an other weird connection timeout also disappeared.
When i started the game i was always 'locked' in place for a few secs and unable to move... that corrected itself after a while and was able to play normally. I guess the load time also was borderline on that 30 sec limit

Because i can now move immediately when i enter that savefile

Thank you for your help and time to troubleshoot this pesky thing!

[deep turret]

so it worked nicely after you put settings in Engine.ini on the client ?

nice

you're welcome

[cold ruin]

Yep that was the thing... BUT the game has to be closed before editing or else the ini file will be overwritten with the old values.

[deep turret]

the same applies to the server usually, I forgot to warn about that
though, my modified server setting files are locked, so it can't be overwritten, that's probably why I forgot about that

[last siren]

Hello. I have a question that may have an answer already, but I can't find it myself.
Is there some way to show dedicated server status (online, current players, ticks, time - same parameters that in server status in game) on site/discord/etc (outside Satisfactory).

[deep turret]

nothing officially supported yet

[cold ruin]

No worries, i'm already really happy i/we finally got to solve this irritating thing!

[last siren]

thank you!

[cold ruin]

@deep turret i do have to go now , rl calling, but have a great day!

[deep turret]

only very experimental and AFAIK third party modding things as been in development, and it may even be staled for now

[deep turret]

have a great day too

[last siren]

wow. Sounds dangerous.
I'll try to parse logs then 🙂

[deep turret]

modding community may have something for you to try though, if you feel adventurous enough

we already discussed whole server management connected to discord servers here at some point, there are people who do this, but it can't have supported insight on the game itself currently

[last siren]

Got it. Thank you!
if you have a link to discussion I'll be glad to read it.

[deep turret]

it is spread a bit accross time, so it is not really consistent but I can give you an entry point in the conversation

[last siren]

By the way, on my opinion, it shouldn't take a lot effort to implement (or open existing with some authentication and documentation) some API with few endpoints related to status

[deep turret]

#dedicated-servers message

[deep turret]

there are 3 key points though :

• the game must work in a predictable and stable way, so you do not need to change the api very often
• the api must be carefully designed to give the most of power users without requiring a lot of knowledge, a lot of development, and without opening security/issues for non-power users, and be flexible
• it must be updated to match the game current state and engine, it is still a bit more work than no api at all

all that makes for it to be even more experimental than the dedicated server itself in the first place, and not everyone agree on the 3 key points tradeoffs
https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/906213950524379186

(btw, you have my point of view on these points, in the linked discord thread)

[mint junco]

Are game lockups still a known issue for v0.8.1.3?
This floor at my Blue Crater turbofuel power plant consistently locks the game up.
It doesn't crash the client, it just freezes completely and the sound also stops.

I already have a QA post for this issue.
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/648f4f0187a1e63b6cee5858

Reloaded, a few minutes in frozen again, not clicking, just moving.
Grabbing these screenshots with the snipping tool as Steam F12 is not working.

[deep turret]

it looks like client hang

[mint junco]

Gone again... I wonder what's special about this location.

[deep turret]

did you check gpu vram?

did you check server RAM/CPU state

I usually restart both the server and client in these situations, because then the server just lock again and again

[mint junco]

The server is fine, it's a client issue.
Here's another type of client lockup.
In this case I've travelled from Blue Crater to Grass Fields via hypertube, multiple hops.
On exiting the hypertube the game has frozen but is still animating on screen.
I can't move, no keyboard inputs work.
F12 works though so I've captured two screenshots showing the game is still animating.
If you click between them the hypetube entrance animation is still running.
Task manager showed the game was still running.
On re-entering the game I'm miles back from that location.

[twilit fox]

No.. that was ment for anyone who'd have input. It's a powershell script to check if the game is running, and if not start it.. it's satisfactory, it crashes alot, and my servers headless so I have to be home, and login to it with vnc.

If you're timing out during saves, maybe your save file is too big?

I had issues with clients dropping when I had a ~12mb save. It took so long to save that connections would time out

[deep turret]

usually linux is more designed naturally to do that kind of stuff, that's why most server run on linux

what I mean is, ofcourse learning linux can be hard, but once you slowly get to study hard things to make it work on windows, you also start to notice it's not harder to just learn linux instead and use that
that's how someone goes from windows to linux usually

[twilit fox]

Meh, windows is easier, quicker, and dirtier.

[cold ruin]

Hi Wolfgrimm, i came to the same conclusion and found a solution. The client has to edit their engine.ini to increase the connection timeout and that will solve it.

[cold ruin]

Headless and vnc? That doesnt sound right tbh. Do you mean ssh perhaps? (headless means no gui)

Ok AND no peripherals to be technically correct.

Oh im beeing a dumb dumb... 😦 its windows my mistake

[glass gate]

Hi, maybe silly question here. Me and my friends bought a dedicated server. He can play it but I can't. I assume that it has something to do with the red triangle exclamation mark in front of the Server Manager (in game, not in the mod manager). I have disabled the mods from the mod manager. But it won't go away. I have tried looking here but found nothing

[twilit fox]

Headless from my understanding was no display and keyboard.

It can still have a gui. Or multiple if you want to count VM's

Does your friend have mods enabled on the server?

[mighty sage]

Hello, I'm trying to install the dedicated server from Epic Games and play with a friend remotely. Is there any video with the step-by-step process? I followed the steps from the wiki and still not working.

And one question. If I Install the dedicated server, if I'm offline, my friend can play? Or he needs me to be online? Maybe can we install it on a virtual machine in the cloud like AWS?

[fickle owl]

you could install a dedicated server with steamcmd on a vserver

you dont need a licence for the game and could login anonymous

if you instal it local your pc needs to be running to enable your friend playing

[mighty sage]

And do you know any video tutorial? Just to follow an stepbystep tutorial so we make sure to install it properly hahahah

thanks btw🫶

[fickle owl]

if you want it easy

ok, i am not allowed to give links. but 4netplayers have dedicated server

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

there is a link on how to install steamcmd and for different os

[fickle owl]

hope that helps, no problem

[mighty sage]

I tried to install it following this wiki and I can't do it hahahaha I'll try it tomorrow

Thanks anyways

[fickle owl]

what os?

[mighty sage]

Windows

[twilit fox]

That's the exact guide I followed. I didn't have any issues

[fickle owl]

what was the problem?

[deep turret]

that triangle will stay
it is here to warn you it is experimental feature

[deep turret]

when you say bought, you mean online ?
is it possible that the server is configured so it is closer/easier to your friend to connect to it ?
it is probably related to server network settings and your personal network does not match it so you can connect correctly

other people have shared some provider problems in inconsistent networking here

[twilit fox]

I had to get my own modem to self host... my isp modem router is a locked down pos

[feral shuttle]

any ideer why this is appening the port are free all of them after this it’s just closes

[deep turret]

are your server ports opened in UDP mode ?

[feral shuttle]

Both yeah

All the Port even tried without my fire wall on

[deep turret]

There are three ports to open actually.
Also, could you describe what the game is showing you while you try to connect ?
does it try to connect then give a error message, or just does not show the server connection at all ?

it would give information on what the issue is coming from

[feral shuttle]

Alle the port are open

[feral shuttle]

After the error show the cmd just closes

[deep turret]

you mean the server does not start ?

and shut itself down ?

[earnest fjord]

Have a question maybe someone can answer. If I run a game multiplayer, not dedicated server, every time it saves, my game lags for a few seconds. If I run a dedicated server (even on the same computer) as I run the game, it never lags when it saves. I find this also super odd since the file size is relatively small for the save (3-5meg) and I'm running all nvme drives, decent cpu, etc.

[desert walrus]

The host has to pause to save
On a dedicated server, the client keeps running
When you're hosting in multiplayer that can't work

[earnest fjord]

I know this question probably gets pretty deep, and I think I know where your going with this answer, but I'm still trying to understand why the clients can't keep running in both situations?

[desert walrus]

The client can run in both scenarios, but the host needs to pause

And when you're in multiplayer instead of on a dedi, somebody has to be the host

[earnest fjord]

So when the server pauses to save how come the clients don't desync, assuming that's the reason for a pause for the host?

[desert walrus]

They can on longer save times

[earnest fjord]

or does it just not because it's a different database access, something I'm also not great with =)

[desert walrus]

For save times of less than a second or two the server can just sort of catch up to what the clients did

[earnest fjord]

That makes sense a bit now like when we did dedicated server, we were both lagged a few seconds behind at times when we built.

Just weird that we can't do the same thing as that with the host i guess but makes a little more sense now. Sorry I like to try to understand things a little more then most sometime.

[desert walrus]

Yeah, don't worry about it

[feral shuttle]

the ss is the last thing you see after that it jsut closeses

fixed itslef

dont know dont care still thx

[deep turret]

ok

[lilac mason]

hey guys, im trying to use the FG.autosaveinterval and fg.networkquality and both commands says its not reconized

[hearty marsh]

i have a server pc in my basement who is running a server.. but when im joining the server my friend is able to join to.. but when i leave the server he is getting kick'd out from the server and are not able to join again.. have tried a lot of solutions the last couples of days now and getting empty for any ideas.. is there any one here who can help me out? 🤔 😇

[scarlet thicket]

where do i get the server files for experimental

[fickle owl]

Experimental branch selection
To download the Experimental branch of the Dedicated Server, add -beta experimental to the end of your SteamCMD invocation.

[deep turret]

how do you join and leave ?

how is the basement machine connected to internet ?

[deep turret]

you can change it from .ini server files when the the dedicated server is down

[hearty marsh]

Wire

[hearty marsh]

Join: Server Manager --> join game

Leave: ESC --> Exit to Main Menu/Desktop

[deep turret]

and it kicks your friend as soon as you leave ? and they can join as soon as you connect ?

[deep turret]

I mean the wire go directly to the home router/box ?

[thorn terrace]

Is anyone able to assist me with some troubleshooting advice for my new dedicated server setup? https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1158408547646853264

[hearty marsh]

correct

[hearty marsh]

Router **--> Cable <-- **Deco M5 mesh Main device <--> Wireless --> Basement Device <--> Cable <-- ServerPC

[deep turret]

and your pc is wireless on M5 main ?

[hearty marsh]

nope, another mesh node.. my mesh system is running as Accesspoint and not as an router

[deep turret]

how is your friend running the game ?

[hearty marsh]

wired directly from router

[split harbor]

how do i host a dedicated server

[deep turret]

do they use the server manager ?

[desert walrus]

There's a guide on the wiki

[hearty marsh]

Yes👍

[mint junco]

This page needs a refresh button.
If the status reports as server offline I can see no way of refreshing it.
Previously I had a dead server in the list and clicking between them would refresh the status.
I removed it and now there's apparently no way of refreshing the status of the remaining server.
Or am I missing somethng?

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/651d169dd0053b102f18af4f

[deep turret]

you are not missing anything

[hearty marsh]

is there anyway to turn off Advanced game settings?

[slow bloom]

Not after you turn them on for that save

[frigid fern]

what do i do if i forgot my server authenticator password

oh wait nvm

[cobalt plover]

Hi, I appear not to able to join my server (hosted on my own Pterodactyl instance), throws an error of:

[hoary topaz]

Hey guys, I don't know if you remember me from the other day, but I'm looking to troubleshoot what happens. I get kicked from my dedicated when I drive from or to certain areas. You guys suggested it was the ram, so I threw another 16GB in it to make sure and it still happens. If I drive a train that same distance or just walk, nothing happens. I actually had crash one time message, but dumb me forgot to copy it.

This only happens on experimental

[void cave]

Greetings,
My buddy and I put in almost 400 hours into our experimental dedicated server (hosted by Indifferent Broccoli) only to have it become unusable. Is this a problem linked to update 8 and if so when is it going stable???

[desert walrus]

More than likely an issue on the hoster's end without knowing any details

[void cave]

Everything was running fine, was using drones, a single train, but when we started using blueprints heavily to build out from our main base, it became super laggy and my buddy was unable to properly log in. Our server is advertised to have a min of 128 gb of ram

My buddy and I are running machines with 9th and 10th gen i7s respectively, 16gb ram, RTX 2060 and NVME drives

Oh, and it would crash multiple times a day & the sound got super choppy

[oblique crag]

new server installation. This is message im getting. doesnt appear to have an update on client side. Did i oops and setup my server with experimental branch? if so, how do i downgrade it or should I just play with the experimental branch?

nvm i answered my own question by looking at the command i ran for the install.

[loud minnow]

You have to contact the person who is hosting your server only way

[loud minnow]

you would have to post the complete logs to see what the issue is.... but 90 percent of the time is networking issue and you might have to try -multihome=<ip address> or -DisablePacketRouting in your start up options for the server..

[plucky lava]

How stable is Update 8 for multiplayer? Starting a new game with some friends and trying to decide if it is worth the trouble

[deep turret]

if you start a new game, then it will probably be fine

especially since you may get next patch before you hit middle game which is where it starts to get some troubles currently

Also if you manage the server carefully it must not be much trouble (you can either install in an other folder or get ready to reinstall early access version)

[plucky pike]

Any working tutorial on how to setup satisfactory server on oracle free tier arm?
Seen some tutorials mentioning box86 but cannot achive this.

[deep turret]

some have tried but arm is not supported

[plucky pike]

Yeah i was thinking about some emulation but still cannot achive this

[fickle owl]

would have guessed that an arm is not powerfull enough for this

also it needs 64 bit, maybe thats the reason why

what is your hardware?

[loud minnow]

It will never work with ARM simple as that

[deep turret]

arm64bit is a thing and is the common arm now
but it still is not compatible anyway

[fickle owl]

Only because it is Common doesnt mean his is...

[deep turret]

but that's not the main problem probably
because the main problem is satisfactory is not made for arm

[fickle owl]

And like i said I don't think the arm could handle the emulation and the server itself

You saw that he wanted to emulate a x86 system?

[deep turret]

no I didn't see that he wanted to emulate x86

and box64 exists

[fickle owl]

That was the reason I asked if his system is 32 bit

Either his hardware is more wrong than just arm or he just uses the wrong software

But he definitely won't have fun with that server xD

[deep turret]

I believe more than just the abi is a problem

several other dependencies and mechanisms may be needed

[fickle owl]

Maybe, but if he want to have fun with it, why not xD

[plucky pike]

Hi there, I ve successfully started server on ARM machine using FEX-Emu at least that's what im hoping for
This is the message I can see, i opended all of the ports on my machine, can just ping it from the console. However still cannot join the server any ideas?

[twilit fox]

What arm machine are you using?

[plucky pike]

Was playing on minecraft server month ago on same machine so hosting server deffinitly possible

(Dont look at memobery and core here)

Running server with -multihome is crashing it.

Can provide logs

[icy oar]

helloo, i was wondering if anyone could help me set up a dedicated server?
im playing on epic games and would like to have more than the max available 4 players on at a time.

and i cant find the early access dedicated server help so i just asked here, hope thats okay

[brazen tendon]

try to look on the wiki, satisfactory.wiki.gg

[icy oar]

Did, was unhelpful, and too complicated

Didn’t actually tell me how to get on the dedicated server

[brazen tendon]

anyway arm64 is possible, it just needs to be adapted a bit by coffee stain

[icy oar]

:(

[brazen tendon]

and yes, arm64 is powerful enough

[brazen tendon]

sorry can't help you more, never did a satis server before

[icy oar]

:/

ty tho

[brazen tendon]

made a suggestion to add arm64 server support, here the link: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/65207a19d0053b102f18b0c3

[desert walrus]

It does in fact tell you that
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Installation

[desert walrus]

At the moment, that is not possible
Many of the dependencies of the software are not able to be used on arm

@icy oar did you ever figure out your issue or do you need more help?

[barren spear]

hello me andmy friend are trying to change the autosave interval on our windows sat dedicated server but its not actually changing the value to what we set it too

[forest anchor]

anyone else having a problem where when autosave happens that everyone crash ? also im having a world partition issue where it goes to critical alot idk if thats just a me thing im hosting it on my i9 server so should not have anyissues lol

[fickle owl]

What is the problem with the wiki?

[icy oar]

its not very clear, id have to write a ton of commands, rewrite files, and then it just never told me how exactly to actually get onto the server (if i actually got it properly setup, which i never did)

[glad nest]

Just use docker if you find the complexity of installation hard

[hasty tangle]

Hey guys, starting to get a lot of UNet errors on our dedicate server, i've restarted and updated some of the timeouts in game.ini but not much luck; any other good pointers?

[desert walrus]

That's all optional for the most part

[icy oar]

how

please explain how its optional

i have no idea how i would be able to add more than 4 players to the server, or how to connect to it

[icy oar]

whats docker?

[glad nest]

https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server
not very eager to help people who are not bothering to try

[icy oar]

:(

how do i set it up

[loud minnow]

You get a lot of those in here.. who just want everything done for them and not even bother to do some research on how to make it work and get it up and running… they just want you to do it for them lol..

[icy oar]

i mean, i did do a lot of research, but my tiny little brain cant comprehend this stuff

satisfactory just makes sense for me cus its 3d building

[loud minnow]

Then this is not for your tiny little brain then and just go play single player that simple.. if you can’t figure it out either pay someone like a provider to do it for you or find out how to do it your self that’s the only two option you have maybe your tiny little brain can comprehend two simple options..

[desert walrus]

@loud minnow be nice

@icy oar I didn't realize you wanted extra players, I'll help you get it all set up when I'm back at home in around 4 hours

[loud minnow]

I’m sorry, but sometimes you just have to tell the truth. Because I’ve read all the posts, and not in a single one did he even try to figure it out. He said he read it, then came in here saying, “I can’t do it.” But did he really try? We don’t know. All I see is them trying to get someone here to make the server for them so he can just join. That’s all they really want.

[icy oar]

no worries, thank u tho

[icy oar]

:( i have friends i wanan play with though...

and i dont have any money to pay for a provider

you're not very nice

[icy oar]

i did try! i just didnt get very far, because none of the attempts i made seemed to work

[desert walrus]

Okay, so @icy oar where have you been getting stuck?

[icy oar]

ok so, ive gone as far as downloading the "dedicated server" off of epic games, because thats where i have satisfactory

and trying to follow the instructions on the wiki,

but the instructions just kinda say "do this, but do this if you wanna do another thing" and then never gets back on track

[fickle owl]

Epic Games
You can install Dedicated Server Tool DLC by visiting the Epic Games Store Page and adding Dedicated Server Tool add on to your library. Search your library for "Satisfactory Dedicated Server" and select install.

[desert walrus]

Okay, so you've downloaded the server from epic but can't figure out how to start it, right?

[desert walrus]

That's the step they have done

[fickle owl]

Seems no problem with epic

[icy oar]

yesh

whenever i click on "play" it just pops up with a console with a bunch of text and stops at the same two lines

no matter what i do

[desert walrus]

Oh, okay
That basically means the server is started

[icy oar]

uhuh

[desert walrus]

So then you just need to connect to it

[icy oar]

how do xd

[desert walrus]

Do you have satisfactory installed on the same machine?

[icy oar]

i do

[desert walrus]

Actually, before we go further, why do you want the dedi?

[icy oar]

because i really want more than 4 people to play on the same server

[desert walrus]

You can also do that in regular multiplayer

The only advantage of a dedicated server is that it is decoupled from the game client

[icy oar]

we cant though, we tried the editing the game.ini file

[icy oar]

thats what we want

i have another mini pc i can run it on 24/7

[desert walrus]

Okay, just wanted to make sure

[desert walrus]

Every player has to make the edit for normal multiplayer iirc

Okay, once the server is running on the desired machine, next step is to connect to it & configure

[icy oar]

we did, didnt work sadly

[fickle owl]

Did you only change the game file or the server file too?

[desert walrus]

@fickle owl you're really misunderstanding this convo

[icy oar]

theres two?

[fickle owl]

Only did it in steam but there were two as it was an extra installation

[desert walrus]

Is it installed on the mini pc?

[icy oar]

not yet, but its planned

[desert walrus]

That's the next step in config

[fickle owl]

But a little side question. Do you know what portforwarding is and how to set up a dyndns?

[desert walrus]

We'll get there

[icy oar]

i know the concept, but i have no idea how to do it

[icy oar]

i really appreciate your help

[icy oar]

could i borrow your help whenever i get home and can set the mini pc up :3

[desert walrus]

Yup

[icy oar]

:D

[tawny scarab]

I have two servers that are pretty comparable in specs, one running Windows and the other Ubuntu. Is one of those options generally found to be better supported or should you be able to pick either for hosting a dedicated server?

nice, thank you!

[runic vapor]

Hello, I have set up a server on an old PC running Ubuntu 22.04.3. The setup went smoothly, and I was able to connect to the server using the local IP address of the computer.

Afterward, I wanted to make the server accessible to my friends. To do this, I opened the necessary ports on the server using ufw and allowed the ports in my FritzBox router settings. However, despite these configurations, my friends are unable to connect to the server. According to my ISP's FAQ, each router is assigned its own IP address, and the public IP is also pingable.

Does anyone have any ideas and tips on how I can make it possible for others to connect?

[runic vapor]

Hi, we had that happen on a server, when there was not enough RAM available, and the Server would crash when someone tried to join.

[frosty gale]

How do set how much ram the server can take?

the server itself have 128gb ram

[runic vapor]

Well, I think 128 GB should be enough,pretty sure coffee stain recommends 12GB...
So its propably something else...

[thorny shore]

I have 64GB on my gaming machine.

[frosty gale]

ja true

[icy egret]

Same Problem here 😄

[frosty gale]

bruh 🫠

[icy egret]

We got it working!
-multihome=<ip of server here>

Use that as argument when starting the server

[icy oar]

Owo?

[cunning summit]

well just start the server on linux with

sh FactoryServer.sh -multihome=<ip of machine>

[loud minnow]

90 percent of the time is networking issue and you might have to try -multihome=<ip address> or -DisablePacketRouting in your start up options for the server..

[deep turret]

check the available ram, do not just take the machine ram amount
if you have 10 game servers in there it will not work still

[frosty gale]

i try

[frosty gale]

already checked it

[deep turret]

make sure your routers rules are with UDP
and that the public ip you are sending to your friend is up to date

Also indicate if you are using update 7 (early access / 'public') or update 8 (experimental) version

[runic vapor]

Currently its still on Update 7, and the IP has stayed the same. The only thing I kind of have hope for, is that Snutt has in #multiplayer-troubleshooting a whole range of ports to open. I will have to try that, but the problem is, my dad has controll over the FritzBox and I do not knwo the password...

[deep turret]

maybe your dad forgot that it needs 3 ports to be open

or didn't check that it was forwarding to the ip of the server machine

[runic vapor]

no, we checked that together, and we forwarded all tree ports for the server machine

[deep turret]

how did you check the public ip to be sent to your friend ?

[runic vapor]

'curl ipinfo.io/ip' in the terminal
and by using 'whatismyipaddress.com' on my desktop

both returned the same ip

[deep turret]

I use api4.ipify.org personally

but ok, then it seems reliable, and you did that recently then

Just tried that, also returns the same IP...

[frosty gale]

omg working 😁

[deep turret]

as with others you can try the -multihome=<your_serve_ip> option

also makes sure you have only a single instance of the server running, and that it is running with the right port settings you forwarded for

[runic vapor]

could be a bit problematically, I set it up as a service, is there a way to add '-multihome <>' to that?

[deep turret]

yep

if you set it up as a service either you have access from original files

or if you use systemd you can also work around with override, but it is probably easier to edit the service unit file directly

in my setup the systemd service unit call an environnement file with the settings in it, for the server instance

(my setup supports multiple instances)

[runic vapor]

I added the multihome flag to the /etc/systemd/system/satisfactory.service file, but now the server does no longer start properly, its stuck in a restart loop...

[plucky pike]

Have issue with SIGNAL 11 and then server crashing when using multihome property however without this multihome cannot Connect to the server

Seen this without multihome property set

And server crash with spam of "Signal 11" when I set multihome

[deep turret]

its not the public ip its the server machine ip
also dont forget to systemctl daemon-reload

[runic vapor]

ok, thanks, i will have to try with my friend later. I just hope it works...

[plucky pike]

I have another problem, I can see in my log file that

However my machine have 24gbs of RAM

[deep turret]

and how much is available

[plucky pike]

(Only trying to run satisfactory server, still with issues. Think is cache is old satisfactory servers that crashed

[deep turret]

"Think is cache is old satisfactory servers that crashed" what do you mean ?

[plucky pike]

Im trying to start satisfactory server on this machine for past two days, running with lot of issues. Right now, after start i can see 'SIGNAL 11' spam in console and crash.

Found this in logs also
However cannot set any port, always this error will occure

And port is not used.

Wait, its used xD

I will restart machien

but why it's ipv6?

After machine restart I've started the server
But still cannot see it in game

[plucky pike]

This is my config on oracle cloud still canno see the server in game.

Okay, got it, started satisfactory server on free-oracle tier using some emulation to install steamcmd

[icy oar]

hey, im truly sorry, but i wont be able to get my mini pc working, as the gpu i had planned for it, refuses to work in that specific pc, so i unfortunatly cant get the dedicated server up and running, i apologize for wasting your time

[deep turret]

the 3 bottom rules are wrong, and are a security issue : delete these
the 3 top rules are good execpt the third one : put the third one in UDP mode instead of Tcp

[desert walrus]

It doesn't have an igpu?

All you need is a display output to set up the server

[plucky pike]

Thanks for info, will do everything from scratch right now, found way to start satisfactory server on FREE-TIER on oracle ARM machine.

[icy oar]

wait, whats the minimum requirement, for a dedicated server?

[desert walrus]

Outputs display

[deep turret]

what ?

why would you need a display for the server ?

[desert walrus]

To configure

Otherwise you don't

[deep turret]

what are you talking about, dedicated server are configured from the game

[icy oar]

im confused

[desert walrus]

They want to install the server and bypass the 4 player limit

[desert walrus]

You have to do that from the host machine

[deep turret]

they only need to access to the setting files

they dont need a display

[icy oar]

ok so the little mini pc i have has a 2600k, 6gb ddr3, and 180gb ssd storage, will any of that be a problem?

and the only gpu that works in it is a hd5550

[deep turret]

ram may be

[desert walrus]

It might
The server prefers more ram

[desert walrus]

Yeah that's perfectly fine

[icy oar]

i could get more really cheaply

[deep turret]

update 8 is mandatory

[desert walrus]

I would reccomend that

[deep turret]

and you will soon run into the 6GB

(update 7 use 11GB straight from startup)

[icy oar]

but i tried running the game on the hd5550 and it barely scratches 15 fps

[desert walrus]

The server software doesn't render anything

[icy oar]

oohh

[deep turret]

the server is server you dont need a screen at all

that's why I was confused by Fight or Flight saying as a requirement

you can do everything with remote control

[desert walrus]

I really don't feel like walking them through that

[icy oar]

but wouldnt i need to like, download the dedicated server and set it up and stuff
