dedicated-servers

[verbal sundial]

still 1.0 ?

[errant geyser]

we are working on it internally 😉

[verbal sundial]

lord please I will praise the day, I bought the game I will donate it again for the love

I have beautiful groups AND my school server waiting for it 🙂

I wish you good luck, if you need testers I am up for it.

thanks for the answer!

[cold galleon]

We just setup a new dedicated server and keep getting this issue (see screenshot) and the console shows this error [S_API] SteamAPI_Init(): Loaded '/home/container/.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so' OK. (First tried local 'steamclient.so') [2023.11.02-20.09.07:973][598]LogSteamShared: Warning: Steam Dedicated Server API failed to initialize. [2023.11.02-20.09.07:973][598]LogOnline: STEAM: [AppId: 0] Game Server API initialized 0 Any idea how to fix?

[deep turret]

the logs looks unrelated
can you show a bit more context in the logs

[rotund topaz]

I have my server running, and I see it on my game. However, Im unable to create a game on the server. It starts with errors, and kicks me out, saying "Failed to initialize Steam, this could be due to a Steam server and client running on the same machine. Try running with -NOSTEAM on the cmdline to disable." but thats not a valid command

[rotund topaz]

Huh. Same here

[sharp umbra]

This feels like "slow" data sync causing timeouts. Dedicated server expects you to finish syncing in 20 seconds, what is Way to low sometimes for an empty save. Try bumping this up in the config to 60 seconds?
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files#Client_disconnected_for_Timeout

[rotund topaz]

But mine just...doesn't allow me to create a game?

[sharp umbra]

I've replied to a person the message is relevant to >.>
No experience with the issue you are facing, sorry :(

[rotund topaz]

It is annoying

And I'm assuming the device won't help

Devs

Like...my ports working? I can connect...just...World either isn't getting created...or I can't join? I have no clue. All I know is my console starts throwing errors

[cold galleon]

here the log file

[sharp umbra]

@cold galleon this message was meant for you 😄

[cold galleon]

yh ik, we already tried that and still not able to connect

just timing out

its why i post the full server log

[sharp umbra]

Can you post the client error as well?

[cold galleon]

same as the screenshot i posted

[sharp umbra]

Exactly the same? If values of Threshold didn't change, the config change wasn't detected

[cold galleon]

yh ur right it hasnt change oof

[cold galleon]

my friend managed to fix

and server working now

[sharp umbra]

\o/

[calm cave]

i'm having sames on a docker

with a good iptables

[glad nest]

not really my best domain but I don't think you would need to open ports in iptables to your docker IP, your machine may still reject the package before it's beign translated

[fading quarry]

Do you know if anyone have done any comparison on performance between multihome on/off, I clearly recall reading somewhere that having multihome off turns off internal routing management? I am then thinking of the issues related to desyncing in particular.

[deep turret]

multihome is not related to performance

and if performance should be involved then multihome only should improve it

[calm cave]

docker do auto

[deep turret]

(it narrow down the network behavior, so it is simpler for satisfactory dedicated server to handle performance wise)

[glad nest]

you are probably right. are you able to connect to it locally though?

[fading quarry]

yeah I was thinking of multihome 0.0.0.0, so that satisfactory does not need to deal with the routing on top of everything else.

[calm cave]

It's in datacenter it'll be complex 😂

[deep turret]

as I already said, we are not talking about "routing" as in pure network routing here

and if you just want to disabled "routing" then use -DisablePacketRouting instead

[calm cave]

idk why packet routing exist in it

[fading quarry]

right right that was the argument I was thinking of, and iirc multihome does that.

[deep turret]

the goal of multihome is to narrow the addresses the server binds to

disabling "routing" is a side effect

[fading quarry]

oh I know, it just got me thinking of DisablePacketRouting being a part of the equation.

[deep turret]

I should try to remove multihome and see how it behaves with multiple address dns

[fading quarry]

perhaps more correct would be to ask any idea if DisablePacketRouting makes any performance difference.

macvlan ftw

Having to manage so many ports on a single docker machine got annoying af

[deep turret]

it must improve it, unless you missconfigured your network

[fading quarry]

Cant wait for early access to get Update 8, redone my entire network no more double nat, and yay no more ISP provided router, now I got my own OpenWrt router running, and a spanking new server specifically for SF.

Also thrown away my Google Wifi, my god that thing did a lot of calling home.

[deep turret]

ok, I'm ready to try connecting to server with a dummy ipv6 in the dns records

without multihome

nice look like it connected without issues

[tall wedge]

What do people reccomend for dedicated server providers? Me and 2 friends are using Bisec Hosting and we've been getting major lag spikes and some crashing and we're only on phase 2.

Used to run a server off my old PC but I used the case in a new build so don't have my own setup atm

Server is running off 12gb RAM so not sure if that's the problem. My old PC had 64GB which was overkill but I haven't played around with satisfactory's minimum

[deep turret]

12GB host is a problem on update 7 (early access) but not on update 8 (experimental) unless you have big save file

[glad nest]

12gb should also be enough for a phase 2 update 7 save imo

but may be running on a slow cpu

have never heard about anyone using bisect on satisfactory though so i dunno, heard only good stuff about them from minecraft

[errant gull]

Is anyone having an version conflict with the latest version 8 release, from yesterday, on their servers? Our server will not update to yesterday's release, therefore we get a version conflict error.
Never mind. Got it to finally update.

[errant gull]

And what was that fix, please.

[calm cave]

update server

[errant gull]

Ah, ok. Thanks.

we did get it to update this morning

[deep turret]

we are talking about 12GB host, not 12GB available, so for update 7 it really is danger zone

[cold galleon]

Make sure your ports are open including the game port that what work for me and my friends server

[deep turret]

for now update8 looks really stable

maybe I should retry loading The Dunes

ok trying that now

[deep turret]

nope :/ still stuck at loading, even though syncing and rendering seems up and running already
the server reports an animation task management graph error

but it still is rendering the reminding parts of the game

hm.. seems like linux handling related again ?

it is only triggered by a 32GB RAM save loading for me

full logs looks like this :

so in the end the issue seems performance related, maybe a racing condition

[errant gull]

Yea, the ports are open, hubby is a retired Cisco engineer, and the Satisfactory server version 7 runs fine on the same server. Currently that server has only Satisfactory on it. A head scratcher issue.

[desert walrus]

Oh, you were still unable to get it working after trying the proper install command?

Same issue or new?

[errant gull]

Maybe I need a BFR?

[errant gull]

Nah, still same issue. We've updated the engine.ini to have an initial and regular timeouts of 70.0

[desert walrus]

It's been a while, can you recap the problem?
Just connect timeout?

[errant gull]

When going to the server manager, we're getting 2ms to the server. Can't get much better (well, ping does 1ms).

[errant gull]

That's the issue and the message keeps report a 20.1 timeout when I know (double checked it) the timeouts are set to 70.0

[desert walrus]

Interesting

The timeout is when you try to join the server?

[errant gull]

Correct

[desert walrus]

Can you post client logs?

[errant gull]

Let me get hubby to do it....he reinstall Ubuntu during his troubleshooting leaving my user out and I don't know the Pwd he used for his.

[desert walrus]

Okay

So, you're running through proton/wine?

[errant gull]

Did see some red lines when starting the service about iron_ore and another one (I can't remember) about it not finding its recipe

[desert walrus]

Oh interesting

Actually, while you're at it might as well grab server logs as well

[errant gull]

Running it directly on Ubuntu 22.0.4 (IIRC....it's the latest version)

[desert walrus]

Let me clarify real quick:
When I say "client" I mean game client that you're playing on
"host" or "server" is the ds software

Seems like there's some confusion 😛

Since those terms are used rather interchangeably

[errant gull]

OK, Had to get out of the game I was playing locally. Now will reload but try connecting to the server this time

So on the Win 11 Pro laptop, which sub dir are the logs in?

[desert walrus]

%localappdata%\FactoryGame\Saved\Logs

[errant gull]

Here's everything from my PC

[desert walrus]

This is the line where the connection fails, not something I've encountered before:
[2023.11.03-16.54.32:815][760]LogDTLSHandler: Error: DoHandshake: Handshaking failed with result: -1 error: 1

[errant gull]

Yea, saw that. But it doesn't give much info

[desert walrus]

It doesn't

[errant gull]

if look 2 lines up:
[2023.11.03-16.54.26:353][380]LogDTLSHandler: Warning: Empty certificate identifier
you get that

[desert walrus]

This is the correct local IP? 192.168.0.3:15777

[errant gull]

correct IP and port

[desert walrus]

And pc is on the same subnet?

[errant gull]

yeppers. And the ping is 1ms from my laptop (client) to server

[desert walrus]

Your windows firewall isn't blocking utp? Win pro has some strange defaults

Thre aren't many reasons I can think of that DTLS/UDP should fail on lan

Yeah, I'd try with windows firewall disabled for the moment to test that

[errant gull]

Nope, and everything is any also

What about outbound rules?

[static anchor]

i have a dedicated server and in the console it shows that it has accepted a connection, but in the game itself it says that the server appears to be offline

any idea where to start?

i have all the ports open

if it helps at all i am using pterodactyl on unraid

[grim mica]

Did you try the multihome switch on the server side?

Dont pay attention to the name of the switch.. it disables a specific function on the new U8 DS instances that is known to cause issues with IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity

The issue isnt present in U7

[static anchor]

i have tried it with the multihome and without

should i set the multihome to my local ip right?

[desert walrus]

That's where the problem is, game fails DTLS handshake (tls over UDP/)

[grim mica]

Just use 0.0.0.0

[static anchor]

yea tried that one first

[grim mica]

Sorry, that multihome was more at Julie

So you are able to start the DS and when you add it to server manager it doesnt populate anything/stays offline?

[desert walrus]

Yeah, that's good next step

[static anchor]

it says that it appears offline and says nonauthenticated, but on the console of the server it shows that there is a connection made

[grim mica]

Thats a new one.. there are 3 ports that DS uses, they are all open/accessible? Is the client and server on the same LAN or across WAN/NAT?

[errant gull]

is that multihome switch in the engine.ini file on the server?

[grim mica]

No, in the exe/startup parameter

With the -log and -unattended

[errant gull]

I'm a bit old school techie and to me multihome is having more that one IP on a NIC

[grim mica]

Correct, so what UE does is create multiple VIFs bound to the protocols

The bug is that clients connect to the ipv4 address and the server responds over ipv6

Thats what I use on Windows via NSSM

[errant gull]

Shss! SMH! Well, we'll try it. So when I start the server service, just add the switches -log, -unattended, and -multihome=0.0.0.0

Ah I see

[grim mica]

Yeah, doesnt issue and the switch naming doesnt make much sense to me.. 🙂

Also, going to DM you about something else

[errant gull]

Kudos to Gunter!!! Me and hubby can now play together on version 8...Gunter, you're my hero......
Well for today at least 🙂

[grim mica]

Woot, multihome strikes again

I suggested to Guru they just make multihome/disablepacketrouting the default since it seems more often than not to cause issues when it isnt on. Doesnt make sense you would need to do that on a LAN-based server and the naming of it doesnt help at all. Hopefully they can evaluate that and see if it is a good idea for the future

[static anchor]

yea i have all three open and have tried multiple ports - i have tried on the same LAN and across WAN/NAT

[rotund topaz]

Well, there is a game started. But...I can't join? I get a nice loong error. I'm using the 15777 port. Should I be using another one to join?

[grim mica]

That sounds like multihome to me if its a timeout error that kicks you back to the main menu

[rotund topaz]

It gives me NULL errors

And i think it has the word timed out in it?

[grim mica]

Id have to see the error and probably the server log to give you an idea of where to go next

[rotund topaz]

God...its not making logs

[grim mica]

Can you post your DS log? Might have something to point in the right direction

[rotund topaz]

I'm using a external hoster for the server

[grim mica]

Do they give FTP access?

[rotund topaz]

FTP?

[grim mica]

Some do, some dont.. if there are no logs youll want to goto the provider as we would just be guessing

[rotund topaz]

I can see all the files. There's no logs

And I don't know any of the commands, to maybe force a log

[grim mica]

Commands in the console? The server is always going to log unless it has permission or disk space issues - you simply may not be able to see/access the log

On Windows, the DS log is under SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryGame\Saved\Logs

[rotund topaz]

Heres something?

[2023.11.03-18.41.09:424][962]LogSteamShared: Warning: Steam Dedicated Server API failed to initialize.

[grim mica]

No big deal

I see you are on U7 and the machine has 4Gb of memory however, might not be the issue but could be a problem

[rotund topaz]

It has 12?

[grim mica]

lol

It was annoying me. XD

[grim mica]

Oh sorry, you are right that is the GPU memory, read that wrong

[grim mica]

Thats an interesting one.. has it ever worked?

[rotund topaz]

Nope!

[grim mica]

Okay, let me switch to EA and see if I can connect to it

[rotund topaz]

I also can make you a subuser for the server hoster, if you want

[grim mica]

Would rule out an issue on the server and point to an issue between your computer and the DS

Nah, thats okay

That yours?

[rotund topaz]

Yep

[grim mica]

Thats.. interesting soon as I click Join it just dumps to "You are not connected to this server"

[rotund topaz]

Huh

[grim mica]

Oop nvm, just impatient it seems

[rotund topaz]

ugh

[grim mica]

Which provider is it?

[rotund topaz]

Kinetic Hosting

Again, I can just make you a sub user, if that would help you nail the problem

[grim mica]

Likely nothing we can do on the panel side of things, check their site under "Support" and there is a Discord and Support Ticket link there

[rotund topaz]

thing is, I have to stay cheap, due to me being on disability

[grim mica]

I would get with the provider unfortunately

[rotund topaz]

They have limited support, so they cant help me

they even said that, and told me Im mostly on my own

[grim mica]

I would find another provider 😦

[rotund topaz]

again, cheap

[grim mica]

You cant connect to it, I cant connect to it.. what are you paying for lol

[rotund topaz]

I pay about 18 for this a month

[grim mica]

Not pushing any particular provider but GTX (first that came up in "satisfactory dedicated server host uk" google) can host satisfactory in UK for £14.49 w/ 12G mem

[rotund topaz]

Im not connecting to the UK

[grim mica]

Oh that IP belongs to east Canada, sorry

[rotund topaz]

I cant even create a account on the satisfactory game website to ask...

[grim mica]

The QA site is really for bugs or feature requests, not really tech support

The most you are going to get is this channel, but if you arent in full control of the end-to-end on the server side, not too much we can help with

[rotund topaz]

I have full control. I just dont know what to flipping do

[grim mica]

Seems the client connection just isnt completing, did you try the default ports instead of custom? This what a normal connection would look like:

[grim mica]

You have full control (as in SSH access) of the VM?

[static anchor]

when you say custom port are you referring to the 25580?

the 15777 and 15000 i think is already default

[rotund topaz]

I can change files, change configs, edit files

[grim mica]

Correct

[static anchor]

let me try 7777

[deep turret]

multhome BEFORE -log -unattended

[grim mica]

I honestly am not 100% sure the difference between the 3 ports. Obviously 7777 is the game port for the clients to communicate over but query vs beacon.. not sure

[grim mica]

Its already working, so doesnt seem to matter

[deep turret]

you mean if you dont set it, then the server fails ?

[grim mica]

If multihome was not set, unable to connect

I am saying the position of it doesnt seem to matter

[deep turret]

tbh I retested with only "-DisablePacketRouting" recently and I got no issues

[deep turret]

it used to matter, especially with port settings

[grim mica]

Guessing U8 doesnt care or something as I believe I read that somewhere as well

[static anchor]

Odd same issue with default ports across the board

[errant geyser]

The game port is when you are playing ON the server, beacon port is what is used to manage the server in the server manager and join it, and query is a lightweight udp query that the client uses to get basic information about the server without making a full connection to it, such as the ping indicator in the server list of the server manager

[static anchor]

@grim mica The above information is interesting because with my issue. The only time I get something in the console is when I try to add the server using the game port. Nothing shows up when I use the beacon port

[grim mica]

Ah, thanks for that Arch - good to know

[grim mica]

In that case I believe you were using the default beacon and query ports, so probably not related. Guessing the client gets the game port after the query/beacon happens during the join process. Did I ask if your server was on your LAN or accessing via WAN?

[static anchor]

Yea it’s on my lan and I have tried a friend connecting via wan

[grim mica]

Have you tried running any other game servers from that instance? I dont know much about unraid and pterodactyl but it seems like a networking issue based on all the info so far

[static anchor]

All my other ones work

Terraria. Astroneer. 7D2D

[grim mica]

Only other thing I can suggest is using this for your docker container, though I have no idea how this works.. lol
#dedicated-servers message

[white cosmos]

Have the server commands changed with Update 8? I can no longer up the autosave interval, it used to be FG.AutosaveInterval XXX.X but it says command not recognized now

[rotund topaz]

can I have a dev or someone who knows fully whats up to help me? Im slamming my head into a brick wall at this point

[desert walrus]

Some don't work atm

[desert walrus]

What's the issue?

[white cosmos]

Is there a workaround for upping the autosave interval that you're aware of? Our save time is currently over 90 seconds so every 5 minutes is a bit excrutiating

[desert walrus]

You should be able to change it in the config file, I believe the instructions are on the wiki

[white cosmos]

I did, added this to the Engine.ini, but so far no dice :/

[/Script/FactoryGame.FGSaveSession]
mAutosaveInterval=2700

[rotund topaz]

I have major server problems. I cannot connect

[rotund topaz]

some info

Ill get you a log here in just one second

mother...

Im no longer admin...in my own server...after trying different ports to work

[grim mica]

Thats not the correct method in U8, in GameUserSettings.ini adjust the mFloatValues to: "mFloatValues=(("FG.AutosaveInterval", 3600.000000))"

[white cosmos]

Oh you are a saint.

[grim mica]

Set the value to whatever you want in seconds, 3600 is an hour for example on mine

[white cosmos]

Do you happen to know the timeout one too?

[grim mica]

Under Engine.ini and [/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]
InitialConnectTimeout=xx.0
ConnectionTimeout=xx.0

[white cosmos]

okay so that one didn't change, odd, okay. Thanks Gunter

[grim mica]

Yarp I believe that is the same from U7 to U8, just the commands in the console dont really work

The number of save files is also in Engine.ini
[/Script/FactoryGame.FGSaveSession]
mNumRotatingAutosaves=48

[white cosmos]

Cool, cool, then the rest should be good. Any other migrations you know of that I may need from U7 to U8? Looks like just console commands

[grim mica]

Other than the fun known issues with U8, not really

[white cosmos]

Other than that, sidenote props to the devs (if they're hiding here), U8 runs sooooo much better than U7 on my server

[grim mica]

Much better at memory handling thats for sure

[white cosmos]

I've noticed trains don't rubber-band as much, my overall framerate is about doubled, for my save at least it seems more stable. I went in with very low expecations, upgrading the engine I honestly expected more bugs, but I'm very happy so far

[grim mica]

Well.. they are more weird when you get into desync issues where the train will sort of wrap up like an accordion and then change speeds drastically

I recall being able to stand on top of a train and ride around the map, but then again my previous worlds were probably much smaller. Cant really do that anymore reliably

Hypertubes are still very wonky, I would avoid them if possible

[white cosmos]

oh for me that happened way way more often in U7 than U8, the train thing, I'll have to play with hyupertubes

[grim mica]

Yeah I think my first world on DS was the 'better' experience from a sync perspective, except the map.. they would always just be in the middle of the world which they seem to have solved now so that is nice

Probably the most annoying thing for me atm is the build/dismantle mode not sticking and pipe building requiring re-selection of the pipe to get the proper version of it to build, otherwise you just end up with little stub pipes that go nowhere

[white cosmos]

ah weird, but overall playable you think? I'm thinking of starting a new factory here soon, and I usually go pretty hard at it

last one was.... 450 hours

[grim mica]

Still getting started with this world, only maybe 1/4 of the way done but still a solid 60 tickrate at ~12M save file size (~350k objects) all built on U8 DS

Yes, easily playable.. just things to get used to

If you always play on DS, its less confusing. Switching from SP to MP/DS is hard for me since the UX is simply different

[white cosmos]

Felt like I had to share my old save, excited for your save, so many hundreds of hours left for you!

and I don't think the autosave interval worked :/

[/Script/FactoryGame.FGGameUserSettings]
mIntValues=()
mFlatValues=(("FG.AutosaveInterval", 3600.000000))
mPrimaryLanguage=
CurrentFGGameUserSettingsVersion=0

damnit

flatValues

[grim mica]

You do need to bounce/restart it for it to read it

Ah lol

[white cosmos]

I pasted that and immediately saw my stupidity

[grim mica]

Very nice, massive builds on those coasts haha

I feel like I am just building on the water right now because I dont want to build in the middle of the map yet, switching from refinery ingots to smelter/foundry will be more fun logistics

[white cosmos]

building near the water is definitely nicer for the pure recipes. I always struggle (in a good way) because Grassey Fields is the perfect place for iron, but water is a commodity there.

[past karma]

Is it possible to take over a single player save with the dedicated server?

[desert walrus]

Yes

[past karma]

is it possible to go back once I do this?

[desert walrus]

Yes

[past karma]

Amazing! One last question, do blueprints go on client or server?

[desert walrus]

../FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/blueprints/[current saved game]/[blueprints here]

[past karma]

yea, so same place as the single player, groovy

You're amazing, thanks for the quick answers!

[desert walrus]

No prob

[past karma]

hrm, my blueprints won't update when i save them now... what have i screwed up?

[deep turret]

any save etc are on the server
including blueprints

I don't know what did you try but check for access rights maybe ?

are you hosting it on Linux or on windows ?

[viscid ore]

anyone have info on crashing when loading or unloading a factory? I get thousands of lines like this in the crash log
[2023.11.04-00.35.28:131][968]LogGame: Error: AFGBuildableWire::CreateWireInstancesBetweenConnections - Can't create wire instances between connections: "NULL" and "PowerConnection"

Happens to my friend playing on the same ds server.
It's pretty consistent. I can't tell if its because the main base is being unloaded or if the factory is being loaded in

[swift sigil]

I am trying to set up a dedicated server on a windows server 2019 machine. I am running in some issues, is this the best place to ask questions about that?

[swift sigil]

so I am assuming this is the reason the server fails to fully load, but I am not sure what it means:

[errant geyser]

Has nothing to do with your server failing to fully load

[swift sigil]

okay I just wiped it clean and am reinstalling it. if it still fails I will drop a log file.

[past karma]

I'm hosting it on the same computer I play, I want to let the sim run in the background while I do other things

[rich palm]

The rubber banding behaviour changed a bit. At the beginning of the game with a small save it seems to be not existant. But in later stages it really takes over. Also when a truck is far away, it is absolutely fluent, but as soon it comes near it rubber bands.
For trains, whats annoying is that they decrease their speed (even if you ride it) when the tickrate goes down

On DS my server reaches full tickrate with only one player, two player often is also ok, but 3 mostly kills it with frequent drops

[white cosmos]

That's true, but I loaded up my 500hr save yesterday and it's miles better than it was in Update 7 even. I have around 70 trains running at any given time and while I noticed some rubber banding after saves, the majority of the time it was minimal. (noticable but not frustrating). However you're right, it's directly tied to tickrate, so my next server will hopefully minimize it more

[rich palm]

Its when youre alone right? So I noticed trucks and trains are much more reliable in this update; just that they rubber band

[rich palm]

But dont expect too much with a new server, ofc newer cpus are usually better in single core performance, but its not in multiples

[white cosmos]

Of course, but there was a noticable difference from the last upgrade. This time my friend is spinning it up, and the passmark score jumped by about 50% on single core performance, so 🤞

[barren tree]

Hello everyone, i'm trying to get a dedicated server running on my pc, but it always crashes when it starts up, can somebody please help me? thanks in advance

[fading quarry]

First off do you have enough resources to run both Dedicated and Client on same machine? You need 10-12GB Free memory for each. (Not system memory.)

[barren tree]

i have 64gb ram 🙂

i can send you the logs if you want? 🙂

[fading quarry]

alright, please attach logs there should be hints as to what is causing crash there.

[barren tree]

okey 🙂

should i dm you or upload it here?

[fading quarry]

yeah thats fine

either is fine

[barren tree]

here you go

[glad depot]

Trying to get a dedicated server going on Linux command line style, but it keeps SEGFAULTing first time install of Satisfactory server and only done a few Minecraft and 7D2D before. No save files or such exist, and starting to run out of ideas what to do after googling for about an hour by now...

[fading quarry]

Cant remember seeing that error earlier, but its been a year since I messed around with running dedicated on same machine as I play on (for testing purposes, and I have looked through a few error logs from back then), is this experimental or just plain early access?

[barren tree]

experimental

but i tried a early access also, its the same

[fading quarry]

I assume you use steamcmd? I know some people have installed in manually in the past through Epic and such.

[barren tree]

i do use steamcmd 🙂

[fading quarry]

validation is fine when you run it?

[barren tree]

yes :/

do you know wich error is causing the crash?

maybe i can google some more, but i have no idea whats causing it

The weird thing is, when installed it the first time, i installed the expirimental by accident, it worked, but i had the wrong game version, so i deleted it, installed the early access, and since then nothing works anymore.

[fading quarry]

Searching through hundreds of logs I'll see if I have any logs with similar errors.

[barren tree]

Thanks for helping

[fading quarry]

Had to do some googling and there appears that the download in not correct.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/17cbwis/my_server_doess_start_whit_the_new_update/

I would say just make a new steamcmd folder and start from scratch since you said you had it working initially.

[barren tree]

i did that like 5 times already 😦

just installed again now, still crashing 😦

[fading quarry]

you also might want to remove saves and server configs as well just if there are any issues in those

%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server
%WINDIR%\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server (NSSM)
%WINDIR%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server (Running as a service)

and saves are located here:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames

[barren tree]

oh, okey i'll check that

[fading quarry]

make backup of saves ^^

[barren tree]

yeah :p

[fading quarry]

and ofc did you reboot your machine? I know stupid question but still.

[barren tree]

trying since yesterday, a couple reboots in the meantime yes 😄

dont have these : %WINDIR%\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server (NSSM)
%WINDIR%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server (Running as a service)

uhm

i think is works now

and i didnt do anything (that i know of)

checking ingame now

deleted some files in %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames

not my saves but some blueprints

also the serversettings file

that might have been the problem

[fading quarry]

Hard to say for sure but yeah, glad its working now 🙂

[barren tree]

Thanks alot for your help!

[fading quarry]

your welcome 🙂

[glad depot]

Still googling around, reinstalled a few more times, same crash. Experimental starts if I install that one but public does not start. -multihome tag did no difference. I have no mods installed so can't remove any of those, no saves created so can't remove them since I never got that far and could create any. Using steamCMD (steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit) to install, server has 32 GB of RAM so should be enough. Log file keeps getting same error as the one I posted earlier.

One of these?

[deep turret]

no
either check Taskmanager on windows or htop on Linux

[glad depot]

trying to reboot the server now, something from system is eating 16 GB of RAM. Still was 16 GB free though so shouldn't be sagfaulting because of that

Nope still segfaulting with 30 GB free RAM

[viscid ore]

I had to do something like this before. It sounds crazy but I had to verify the files of the client to fix the server

[barren tree]

it was because of the serversettings file, i deleted that, and then everything was fine =:)

[viscid ore]

Things were more stable after I ran the dedicated server with NSSM since it gets its own separated directories from the client

Has anyone had a problem with crossing points on the map and the client just immediately crashes

Similar to what this comment said https://www.reddit.com/r/satisfactory/s/ryx8u0nq72

[deep turret]

I still get this when trying to load big ass save file :
it is endless repeat of these lines like really a freaking lot, it even clog the write to disk pipeline and slow the server processing

and the client fails to connect to game

[deep turret]

(it's all within 1ms)

[errant geyser]

This will be fixed in the next patch

[grim dew]

Would it be possible to run a satisfactory dedicated server on an older 4 core i5.

[deep turret]

depends what do you mean by older

4 core is fine as long as there is no other process running at the same time

[viscid ore]

I think I've crashed to the same bug so many times on dedi that it's just a ritual at this point

No way around it I just need to get in my factory and it crashes client almost every time. Hit send, relaunch, and we're good to go

[eager cove]

Hello

Hello everyone,
I installed a dedicated server with ubuntu 22.04 via steam cmd at the weekend.
unfortunately I am not able to establish a connection to the server.
I have already posted this on reddit so that I don't have to write everything here in the chat.
Do you have an idea what the problem could be?
Reddit Post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/17p41iu/timeout_when_trying_to_connect_to_my_dedicatet/

Could it be that the server has problems with IPv6?

[grim mica]

Do you have the multihome startup parameter set?

[eager cove]

currently not, I only started the FactoryServer.sh script, but I had tested it earlier ...

But a good point, I'll check it again

[grim mica]

It seems like you are having the ipv4/ipv6 bug with the u8 engine update, adding the multihome or disablepacketrouting fixes that issue, though I didnt fully look through your log as I am at work atm

[eager cove]

steam@ubuntu:~/satisfactory_server$ ./FactoryServer.sh -multihome=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
correkt?

[deep turret]

if you use ipv4 address yes

if you actually use ipv6 address then it's not xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

[eager cove]

i don't use v6 explicitly, but i do everything via v4. but i haven't made any settings for it.

Funnily enough, log v6 displays

[eager cove]

from the server log:
Route from [::ffff:XXX.XX.XXX.88]:52518 to [::1]:15000 hasn't been used in more than 300.000000 seconds. Closing it.

[grim mica]

If the machine has one NIC, just set multihome to 0.0.0.0

I think it mainly is the inherent disablepacketrouting that comes with the multihome switch, so either would work.. but most folks that come with that issue use the multihome method

[eager cove]

NIC?

[grim mica]

Network interface card

[eager cove]

it is a linux VServer

[tardy cradle]

have you set any port forwarding in your router? I wonder if it's timing out because it doesn't know where to send things?

[eager cove]

wait i check the interfaces

[eager cove]

yes

[tardy cradle]

cool, double checking because I didn't see that said it was done or not 🙂

[eager cove]

standby

[grim mica]

It probably only has one, just some folks have machines that are actually multihomed (attached to different, routable networks) would need to use the specific IP that they want the connections to occur on

[tardy cradle]

unless I'm just dumb and not reading lol

[grim mica]

If you dont know, just use 0.0.0.0 - it will still very likely work fine

0.0.0.0 = any/all basically

[deep turret]

that's an ipv4 address mapped in ipv6

[eager cove]

i start the game and check if the multihome parameter work

WORKS!!!

[deep turret]

btw it's more secure to hide xxx.xxx.abc.abc (abc)
than to hide abc.abc.xxx.xxx
because first parts or more general and can be implied already from other information like what isp you go by
and last part is what really identify your connection

[grim mica]

In that screenshot I am guessing its 192.168.x.x which is unroutable network, so doesnt matter

[tardy cradle]

it's an internal IP address, so it's correct most likely

it's just telling where to send the traffic to

[grim mica]

Correct, just doing NAT.. but you dont need to forward ports if you are connecting on LAN unless you want others to join

And you certainly dont need it for outbound in most cases where outbound nat is generally open

[tardy cradle]

They only have inbound there, just one is for IPv4 and the other is for 6 by the looks of it.

but hey, it works for them so awesome!

[grim mica]

Right, my point was is that you dont need to port forward to join a server on your LAN.. the traffic never hits the gateway so doesnt matter.

Anywho, yet another multihome problem.. 😄

[tardy cradle]

That is true. I'm sure they are wanting others to join. I just have to figure out the not giving out my public IP if I want "randos" to join lol

[eager cove]

yes there should be others spiling along, but the server is not at my home but in a data center

[tardy cradle]

that always makes it slightly more of a pain to work with.

[viscid ore]

game crashed went to reboot and i see new patch 🙂

what tick rate do you guys set the game to

[eager cove]

Once again, I would like to thank you very much for your help!

[desert walrus]

Default is fine

[viscid ore]

the only thing i can think of as to why my dedi server crashes so much has to be that i set the tick rate too high

well the dedi doesnt crash but my clients do

[desert walrus]

Why did you change it?

[viscid ore]

monkey brain

bigger number = better right

figured quicker updates means smoother gameplay as things are more in sync across the clients

[desert walrus]

They can but it'll also mean a less consistent gameplay experience and much more server load

[viscid ore]

yeah i knew the server load but we're chillin at 7% cpu

just gonna lower it and see if the crashing goes away

[pine urchin]

@golden roost Many thanks for v0.8.2.7, can confirm that potential fix for log spam has worked for me — have marked https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/653255e1d0053b102f18c0c7 as fixed! 🙂

[grim mica]

I run 60 tickrate on mine, runs just fine

[desert walrus]

Don't ping the devs

[pine urchin]

… eep, quite right! Sorry. ❤️

[viscid ore]

unlucky, still getting the crash. time to make the qa post

[errant geyser]

What crash

[viscid ore]

crashing whenever im getting close to some of my factories

Doesn't happen on singleplayer or when I am host in a multiplayer game

still happens to my friend when hes on my multiplayer game tho

[errant geyser]

So this is on a dedicated server

[viscid ore]

yes but the client crashes

server and/or host keeps chugging along

[errant geyser]

Does it happen consistently on your save

[viscid ore]

startedd happening since the 11/2 patch

[errant geyser]

Is your DS running on Linux or Windows?

[viscid ore]

Running windows

i can upload the log files, theres a lot of Error: AFGBuildableWire::CreateWireInstancesBetweenConnections - Can't create wire instances between connections: "NULL" and "NULL"

[errant geyser]

Also have you changed any CVars related to factory tick/simulation on either client or server

[errant geyser]

No need to for now

[errant geyser]

This is still relevant though

[viscid ore]

yes, happens frequently when i take my hypertube cannon over to my turbofactory, but it also happens if I walk into my quickwire factory

its a bit strange, i can upload the save

[errant geyser]

Please do

[viscid ore]

Where would I check for this

[errant geyser]

If you are asking that you have definitely not changed them

[viscid ore]

Am I able to upload save files in here or do I have to DM

[errant geyser]

You can send it to my DM or to @whole meadow

[viscid ore]

DM'd it, its a bit of a mess, but take a right after spawning out of the hub and take the hypertube cannon facing east to get to the turbofuel plant. if you are a client, its crashed almost every time

[errant geyser]

Okay, thanks, will check it out tomorrow

[viscid ore]

cool 🙂 hope its useful to you guys

i cant actually tell if its crashing when im loading the factory or if its because of something is unloading 🤷‍♂️

[deep turret]

your not at 7% cpu, that is you whole cpu package average load, not satisfactory processing load

[viscid ore]

True, forgot about that

[deep turret]

guessing you are with 20 thread cpu ?

[viscid ore]

should be 24

[deep turret]

ok

it was eithe one but I missed the save size to estimate it correctly 👍

under estimated your load

and then I remembered intel have 20 thread cpus

[viscid ore]

big AMDer, runinng a ryzen 9 5900

rip that one core slaving away while the others are idle lol

[daring fox]

anyone on thats a good debugger? im trying to figure out why my server crashes everytime me or anyone try to delete a specific object ingame

this is the end of the log everytime someone tries to delete that splitter

is there any way to fix this or is that splitter just stuck there forever and no one can mess with it? also all my vehicles dissapeared visually which we also cant delete but they are still there and we can drive them invisibally

[desert walrus]

Delete the splitter using scim(linked in #welcome)

[jagged harness]

i've read uploading to scim and downloading may fix some problems

[viscid ore]

Bro got the Batmobile

[daring fox]

so ive tried using scim to delete it thtere but when i do the server crashes upon startup everytime

what is going on here?

idk how to fix this

[grim mica]

DM me your save file, ill take a look at it tomorrow and see if I can resolve it for you

[whole meadow]

please share your save file

[whole meadow]

We pushed out a patch v0.8.2.7 which addresses the log spam few have been having on dedicated server when hosted on Linux.
Will be good to get some feedback/acknowledgement

[whole meadow]

Ah I see one here alright

[daring fox]

@whole meadow @grim mica sorry for late reply here is the save file that keeps crashing on server startup

[deep turret]

it really decreased spam for me 👍

[whole meadow]

cool thanks for the save

[rich cliff]

any possible fix for missing map markers on dedicated server?
If i travel to the tower, they will be shown

i mean, resource nodes

[daring fox]

i have the same issue in my save the radars dont ever show all the nodes on the map unless i run past them or do scans with V

[grim mica]

Save loads no problem on my DS, client join works as well. Was there a specific location in the world to reproduce the crash?

[daring fox]

no everytime i try to startup server i get error and it immediately closes

on steamcmd in windows

[grim mica]

Let me try a fresh start, I upload the save and then loaded yours and it loaded okay, one sec

[daring fox]

this is after i deleted the splitter i was talking about earlier

the save is from deleting the splitter and now server wont start

[grim mica]

Fresh start loaded as well no problem

[daring fox]

well im jelous.....

[grim mica]

Let me re-save this version and you can see if you are able to start that, maybe something up with the save your machine isnt liking, otherwise issue is on your DS machine

[daring fox]

ok

[daring fox]

wow.... that one booted right up...... odd..... and the splitter is deleted yay!

[grim mica]

Well.. nice at least its working lol

[daring fox]

thats just really odd i wonder what could have been causing that and thx so much for ur help btw

[grim mica]

Yeah no idea, not seen that one before.. SCIM on U8 is sort of exp still so maybe some issue there.. dunno honestly

[viscid ore]

only thing ive used it for is to unlock all alternates, some power shards, and move the occasional death crate that was under the map

seems to work fine for the basic stuff i guess

[daring fox]

well no even ingame if any of us would try deleting that splitter it would crash server

[rich palm]

The latest update seemed to have improved the performance

[open dawn]

Hi, i have seen on reddit fixes but there is no fix for me at least, im tunneling instead of Port forwarding

server appears offline in satisfactory

[grim mica]

EOS isnt really used on Dedicated.. what do you mean by tunneling?

[viscid ore]

like hamachi probably

has anyone been able to reproduce the glitch where placing conveyor belts sometimes have reversed direction

has happened to me when connecting two segments of conveyors together, the belt connects but the direction is wrong

like
-> -> -> -> ->
when connected from right segment to left segment sometimes becomes:
-> -> -> <- -> ->

which shouldn't be possible since conveyors won't snap to poles if their directions don't align

[grim mica]

Yes, happens alot to me.. just have to rebuild it

Ive even had them connect and passing objects between the two junctions and the belts show the item flowing in reverse

[viscid ore]

oh yeah that one is funny

[serene hamlet]

anyone using the "DJWOODZ Satisfactory Discord bot" ? i dont know how to start it. The bot joined my server, the .env.local file is configured. but i dont know why npm start doesnt work for me

[viscid ore]

Any error messages?

when you run npm start

but best bet for help would be the github issues there

[dusty mirage]

By chance is there a way to change the interval for autosaving whether it being done via in-game console or a command I can put in the config files?

[grim mica]

Yes, you on U7 or U8?

For U8: #dedicated-servers message

[coral ravine]

Hi, i am running a DS Experimental U8 and playing with some friends and we all have the same issue and at the same spots on the map, when we are traveling via tractors from one spot to an other we get disconnected from the server with "your connection to the host has been lost". This may happen a few times in a row, as long as you are in the critial area and sometimes fall through the whole map.
Is there anything we can you or is it just an U8 experimental thing?
Thx for help if any 🙂

[deep turret]

I mean, reporting it is important so thank you
but yes, it is a experimental thing

[jagged harness]

anyone tried more than 4 on dedicated u7? any insights?

[desert walrus]

Yeah it works fine

[jagged harness]

i'll give it a shot, thinking about 6, but doubt everyone will be on at the same time

[unborn elk]

@jagged harness yo i dm'd about your lfg

[nimble surge]

I just updated to the latest version of Experimental and it seems like the dedicated server is crashing on my docker container using the wolveix/satisfactory-server:latest image.

I've attached the log it outputs, it seems to stop when it tries to "[Add] force shared buildable BuildStorageContainerMk2#"

Can't really see a root error that's causing it.

[open dawn]

I use playit.gg it's a service to make the same thing to allow traffic in and out but without opening any port (they don't allow me to modify anything in the Router that's why I use it)

It works for my MC server but I'm kinda lost with satisfactory

The top one is used for the MC server

I get connection to the server but it says the satisfactory server is offline

[dreamy nexus]

Question: could I run the dedicated server on a Linux cluster and see improved save times? Currently the VM software I'm using limits the number of CPUs I can assign to I think 8 cores. And my world save takes around 40 seconds and there's a lot of rubber banding. If I set up a cluster, could the server be run on it and speed that up?

[viscid ore]

You won't really see a performance increase since saving in games is mostly single threaded. Better bet is to have really good single core performance cpu

Maybe you could give it some more ram? I think the recommendation is around 12 gb

[deep turret]

around 12GB is minimum for update7

the recommended is 16GB

for both update7 and update8
but now you have more room in update8, though it grows faster

[open dawn]

How do I download the U8 server?

[sharp umbra]

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

I think it's in here 😅

[open dawn]

Ty

[sharp umbra]

The easiest way I can think of is by using Steam if you own the game, and there you can just set in the properties in betas Experimental on the Dedicated Server.

[open dawn]

I use the steam cmd

[sharp umbra]

Ah, then yea the wiki page is good 😄

It also mentions how to get the experimental branch easily so you should be fine

[open dawn]

I do own the game on epic but yea....

Epic is Epic

[sharp umbra]

Yea :P Anywya, gl!

[open dawn]

Ty

[open dawn]

Still get the "this server appears to be offline"

[sharp umbra]

If you installed the server, and launched it succesfully, thenon what machine are you hosting the server? The one you are trying to connect? Some other machine in local network? On some external server provider?

[deep turret]

I wanted to tell : the recheck of server connection seems to work nicely now

though sometimes it connects then instantly show it offline, it reconnects to it again soon enough

(tested after the server actually got shutdown then relaunched, staying on the server manager on the client side, reconnected automatically at some point 👍 )

[open dawn]

its in a second home

guess i did somthing wrong with the tunneling

[sharp umbra]

So it is fixed or 😅?

[open dawn]

nah

i cant open ports thats why i use tunneling

do you know any way to change the default ports?

[sharp umbra]

Oh.. Then I don't have enough experience to help probably, as I didn't touch ever tunneling >.>
Also yea, it's on the wiki 😄 you can do so from the arguments when you launch the server
-ServerQueryPort=<portnum>
-BeaconPort=<portnum>
-Port=<portnum>

[open dawn]

re

fk me

do i need the 3 ports to be on?

or only the port one?

[sharp umbra]

All of the ports have to be port-forwarded or tunneled

[open dawn]

damm

well ty

ill try it now

damm

[whole goblet]

Anyone ever seen this error before in console?
LogConveyorFrequencyNodes: Error: Invalid Index -8 in Actor List

Getting SEVERE spam, hundreds of lines a second

[open dawn]

i did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ty

its fk anoying

but it worked

made a TCP+UDP Tunnel and made all go throuh there

[sharp umbra]

\o/

Nice!

[open dawn]

ty for the help really

[subtle sundial]

alright I'm a bit of a networking noob, but I don't seem to be able to connect to my server running locally

I have it running first time without any configuration yet

trying to connect to it using the server manager with address localhost or 127.0.0.1 and default port detects it but times out after 20s

ping me on reply, I have most channels here muted

[subtle sundial]

attempting to use ipv6 with ::1 doesn't seem to change anything

[deep turret]

it's UDP, no need to do TCP

[deep turret]

so you are running both the server and the client game on the same machine ?

are you running update 7 or update 8 server ?

[subtle sundial]

8

and yes

this is on linux btw. game is through proton, native server

[deep turret]

I dont know how proton interact with loopback address

you could try using your machine local ip instead

[subtle sundial]

is that a 192 address or public facing

[deep turret]

what do you mean ? I said local address, so the most local after the loopback is close network address

192.168.x.x is one of them

but could be 10.x.x.x also

[subtle sundial]

same timeout, even though it doesn't seem like 20 seconds passed at all

[deep turret]

sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but asking if "public facing" is more "local" sounds weird to me

[subtle sundial]

it did detect it still though

[deep turret]

so maybe a port issue ?

[subtle sundial]

like I said I know next to nothing about networking

maybe

where do I poke the firewall

[deep turret]

the firewall should not be active for loopback networking

[subtle sundial]

pgrep says "27035"

[deep turret]

what ?

[subtle sundial]

the wiki page says to use pgrep to see which ports are active

oh that's a PID

not helpful

[deep turret]

yep

[subtle sundial]

ss -plnu | grep UE doesn't turn up anything

[deep turret]

then it means the server is not up

[subtle sundial]

well how is that possible?

[deep turret]

wait

why do I have no result for mine

[errant geyser]

Why are you grepping UE, the executable is named UnrealServer

[subtle sundial]

wiki page is outdated, i just noticed that

ss -plnu | grep Unreal
UNCONN 0      0            0.0.0.0:7777       0.0.0.0:*    users:(("UnrealServer-Li",pid=27382,fd=15))                             
UNCONN 0      0            0.0.0.0:15000      0.0.0.0:*    users:(("UnrealServer-Li",pid=27382,fd=16))                             
UNCONN 0      0                  *:15777            *:*    users:(("UnrealServer-Li",pid=27382,fd=14))    ```

[deep turret]

I'm confused because I'm grepping Linux, and it does not find either but it's there, I'm trying to figure out what's nasty in my machine

[subtle sundial]

try Unreal

it cuts Linux into Li in the ss output

[deep turret]

yea I just figured that out

oops, leaked ports

[subtle sundial]

so it's up for me, what's the problem then?

[deep turret]

I'm trying to find information on the transparency of proton networking, but all I find is ProtonVPN related stuff smh

[subtle sundial]

I don't think that's the problem

regular multiplayer works fine

[deep turret]

but regular multiplayer does not take place on the same machine

it is not using any loopback

[subtle sundial]

it can, with a bit of tweaking I think

there's an old method for testing mod multiplayer compatibility that involved running two clients on the same machine

[deep turret]

it's probably usually performed natively on windows though

handy command to list all your machines ipv4 addresses ip ad | grep -E '([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}'

[subtle sundial]

nothing new there

[deep turret]

apparently you can try to do wine cmd and try ping
so I suggest you can try pinging 127.0.0.1 as a start

then try to ping your local machine address

[subtle sundial]

wine doesn't show up for me
would it be somewhere in the steam proton folder

[deep turret]

I dont know I dont use either, I wanted to have a network linux environment to play with it, but iscsi is too broken and the link fails as soon as I try to launch chromium
I'm very experienced to linux headless, but only headless, I dont know much about playing on linux, and even less about running windows apps

[errant geyser]

completely random advice that just works sometimes

try disabling packet routing

and connect using the beacon port

[deep turret]

smh I should redo my target setup documentation at some point, it is getting very old

[open dawn]

srry

im burned

[subtle sundial]

where dat

[deep turret]

in your server launching settings, you can add at the start of the commandline arguments -DisablePacketRouting

[subtle sundial]

oh cmd line args

oh so that just works™️

does it now only work locally tho?

[deep turret]

no it should work fine everywhere

it basically ask the server to use network ports as they are documented

[subtle sundial]

ok so when the other player tries to join, they need my IP and the default port?

[deep turret]

it needs the public ip you open/forward ports from
and the port used, which is default if that's what you use on your server

(the server query port, is the port you need to set in the server manager)

[errant geyser]

people need your IP and either query or beacon port

beacon would probably be more reliable tbh

[subtle sundial]

what's a beacon port?

[open dawn]

I did all in one I had already for a MC server so yea

I m lazy

[errant geyser]

15000 by default

but it's -BeaconPort= command line option

[deep turret]

but the game and server really are prepared to handshake on the beacon port first ?

[errant geyser]

yes. you cannot jump to the game port directly, but you can negotiate on the beacon port

[deep turret]

ok, sounds a bit weird to me, so both beacon and query ports are able to initialize connection

[errant geyser]

the only thing query is used for is to show the fancy ping indicator

[deep turret]

wow ok

so beaconport could become the default endpoint ?

.. but it would not show ping hmm

if beacon get ping capability, then the port could be removed

[subtle sundial]

what the heck

autosaves work though

ok how up to date is the wiki anyway

[nimble surge]

In case anyone was wondering what the solution was to my weird error: Wait 24 hours for the server to sort itself out

[grim mica]

Use the search function in here, I have recently answered questions on autosave interval and slots

Wiki is... not great for dedicated stuff imo

[daring fox]

is there any updated console commands list for dedicated servers?

[deep turret]

you don't need commands to save
go to the manage save tab

[viscid ore]

They are broken atm

[jagged harness]

any other way to set network quality for the server?

u8 specifically

[subtle sundial]

#dedicated-servers message

[deep turret]

you didnt describe what you tried to do and even less HOW you tried to do it

[royal cloak]

Hey ho. Im new to the disc and I have a question if anybody could help me get an anwser. Im build a home Sever for diffrent reasons and I will also run a satisfactory server on it. But my plan was to run the server without a GPU. Only with a intergraded GPU. But Im reading that you need a deticated GPU to run satisfactory server. Does anyone know if this is true, has anyone tired to run a server without a gpu ? Thanks

[brittle vigil]

I own the game through EGS - does anyone know if it's possible to launch the dedicated server from Epic on the U8 experimental branch? the wiki says it is not possible, but not sure if that's out of date, and I'm curious if any other epic users have gotten it to launch successfully

[brittle vigil]

you should be fine - where are you reading that you need a discrete GPU?

[subtle sundial]

I tried to save, that's it

[desert walrus]

Where does the wiki way that's not possible?

[brittle vigil]

3.1.1.3 on the dedicated server wiki:

[royal cloak]

First thing that pops up when you type . Satisfactory server requirements. First hit is from liquidweb.com Also read in someother site. What they say is Deticated GPU which I assume means you need a graphics card

[desert walrus]

The only official source of information on dedis is the wiki at satisfactory.wiki.gg

[desert walrus]

Oh I see... that's no longer true, I'll update the page

In your library, there will be two seperate options, one's experimental

[brittle vigil]

both the EA and Experimental options point to the same Dedicated Server launcher when selecting Add-Ons

[royal cloak]

Yeah okay Thanks you. Dosent say anything about it so I guess it will work. Thanks again

[desert walrus]

When you get that dedicated server it'll show up as two items

[brittle vigil]

doh. of course it was something simple. thank you!

[deep turret]

how did you name your save then ?

[subtle sundial]

The most simple ways I could... single lowercase words like test, server, and why

[deep turret]

ok

[deep turret]

maybe I should try to re launch that the dune save
does not seems any reasons for it to not load are there anymore

[rich lagoon]

Looks like this has been brought up before, but Ghost Slugs are an issue 😦

[desert walrus]

Yep

[viscid ore]

can i get someone to join my dedicated server to see if they also crash when going to a certain spot

or i could send my save and have someone try it

[sacred iron]

@viscid ore I'll DM you

[viscid ore]

Yuh nvm im good now

Had to delete all my blueprints and blueprint designers in the save for some reason

3 hours now no crash 👍

[sacred iron]

I posted asking for help on Reddit, any chance someone here has an answer? https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/s/an0wqNcezL

[sharp umbra]

I'm not an expert at all, but the first thing that comes to my mind is, what port does your friend specify and are those ports configured on your router/modem for UDP?

[sacred iron]

Yes, using the default ports, so he specifies 15777, and my router is forwarding both UDP and TCP

[sharp umbra]

From what I know beacon port (1500) works better for connection 😅 But that will probably not fix the issue. I'm fairly sure your friend has correct IP address and the server is running as I saw you are able to join the server without issues. Can you verify on a different game that the port forwarding definitely works on your router? MC should be fairly easy to test and should be even caught by some online checking tools as it uses TCP, so if you have the game you can try that 😄

[sacred iron]

We'll try that beacon port, thanks for the suggestion. We play Valheim on this same server all the time, port forwarding works as expected.

[sacred iron]

I got it! Apparently this game in particular requires forwarding through my ATT router, even though it's in passthrough mode. Once I forwarded to my router it works as expected!

[sharp umbra]

Nice \o/ Have fun playing on Experimental 😄

[deep turret]

if you need forwarding it means it's not really pass-through
I mean if it gets only one address it can't really be pass-through
and what was happening to you is probably getting some overlapping ports
so once you explicitly set it it isn't used anymore by another machine
though this should not be a problem on strict nat routers unless you are also connecting to a similar server to the client machine from the server

(having the same src_ad .src_port.targ_ad.targ_port token)

[modest sleet]

Hey, stepped away for a while from Satisfactory. What's the current state of the dedicated server?

[deep turret]

ok

[jagged harness]

running experimental u8 dedicated on home server with good hardware and connection, 8 max setting, most we've had on is 4, there is some desync issues and just unlocked explorer, had several desync issues, lag, and lost connection to host when we all used them, otherwise has been relatively smooth, it's not perfect yet, but server seems to be better than u7 overall, make extra equipment and don't get jaded when you lose all your stuff in a crash

[jagged harness]

can you change the autosave interval in a .ini file, since the console commands are broke

save editor?

[viscid ore]

Tbh I prefer dedi cause if/when I do crash, I don't lose progress cuz dedi can save on player disconnect. And if the server crashes I have auto save set to 5min

Auto save much less noticeable on dedi than on single player

[loud halo]

just spent all day trying to troubleshoot the classic timeout issue after joining a server

turns out

i misstyped a port number when setting up host ports in docker

😭

[jagged harness]

i agree, less noticabale, still little lag when it saves, be nice to increase to 15 min

[grim mica]

Search for autosaveinterval, I've posted a few times here how to do it

It's with mFloatValues in engine.ini file

[jagged harness]

[/Script/FactoryGame.FGSaveSession]
mAutoSaveInterval=xxx

thanks

Engine.ini

[deep turret]

that's not the syntax

#dedicated-servers message

[glacial carbon]

Hey, I've been trying to run experimental dedicated since yesterday, and it crashes when I load any game. I am running Ubuntu through proxmox, and I've tried running the server with pterodactyl, from wolveix docker image and lastly by simple install with steamcmd through no avail. Always creshes either when creating new game or loading a saved one. Reinstalled every piece of software, restarted whatever hardwaare I could, nothing. I am out of ideas, any help?

Oh, and EA works just fine

[glacial carbon]

nvm I've got it - signal 6 was caused by cpu type in Proxmox set to kvm, I've switched it to 'host' and no more crashes

[twilit fox]

Is this really why my server won't launch?

[mint junco]

First item selected for dismantle does not highlight.
When the dismantle operation is selected the object currently under the cursor is not highlighted.

[mint junco]

Lights don't appear to be honouring light control panels.
This is using a technique which worked until a recent patch.
There is no separate lighting circuit.
Lights are connected to the main circuit.
It was the case that only one connection from the lighting control panel needed to be connected to the main power circuit to change the colour of all lights connected to the power grid.

Now it may be that the requirement now is to have a separate lighting circuit but I can't get that to work reliably either.

[twilit fox]

Resolution too low to launch server... that's some dumbshit. The astroneer dedicated did the same thing

[jagged harness]

what does server side network quality setting actually change?

[granite spire]

Any idea how to run a dedicated server and client on the same machine, and not to use the same SaveGame folder?

[deep turret]

the network bandwidth usage
it's both server and client side
as network usage is about both, they must agree

[jagged harness]

thanks, i was curious what values it was changing specifically, i'm guessing bandwidth limits, just wondering what the values are

[deep turret]

usually too low for commonly available fiber network and local networks

[viscid ore]

Set up dedicated server as a system service using NSSM. localappdata is different for system services

just look up the dir on Google

[errant geyser]

dedicated servers do not use localappdata. they write to their installation directory.

except for saves

[granite spire]

Thanks, will look into that. I usually use FireDaemon though.

[granite spire]

The saves are the problem!

[twilit fox]

It's a mess on Linux.

On windows it's not bad

[twilit fox]

Get another machine

[hard falcon]

I guys, I scrolled a bit and I didn't see my issue so I was wondering if you had and idea:
Install on the same server that was working for Update 7, new steamcmd install for version 0.8.0 (server), same port forwarding, my client is in 0.8.2, I get an error (timeout) trying to connect but I see my client trying to connect in the server logs: [2023.11.11-22.28.48:710][710]LogServer: Opening a new route from '[::ffff:174.89.236.174]:53874' to '[::1]:15000'

[twilit fox]

Or virtualize one..

Try restarting the server.

[hard falcon]

I did several times, is this log supposed to be a warning, because the server starts stop there: [2023.11.11-22.32.07:912][ 14]LogEOSSDK: LogEOS: ScheduleNextSDKConfigDataUpdate - Time: 2.477168, Update Interval: 338.507141

[twilit fox]

I have no idea. :/

[hard falcon]

are we still using port 15777 to connect with this version ?

[twilit fox]

Btw if that's your ip you might want to edit your post

I think so.. unless you've changed it in server configuration

[hard falcon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[twilit fox]

I see you're running nginx, and synology. Shodan.io is neat. You a homelabber?

[hard falcon]

No it's just to use as a download server for my plex

[grim mica]

Add the multihome switch to the startup, it will fix that issue from the log above

[hard falcon]

That was it ! You're the man

[shadow arrow]

I have a noob question... do all players who join a dedicated server spawn in the same place?

[desert walrus]

AFAIK yes

[frosty gale]

did they ever add a way to restrict access to the creative options for admins only or something?

[quasi violet]

Hows dedi servers running on update 8?

[deep turret]

how ? it works fine for me
less a mess than on windows

[deep turret]

nssm is enough

wait for the authentication to finish before connecting to the game

so it connects as the same old you

Tried that Steam has me connected and it shows connected in Satisfactory itself. Even tried restarting the server just to make sure everything was good there. Also restarted steam and the game.

Without any logs or details on what/why its crashing, no idea. Mine (among many others here) dont have constant crashing issues as far as I am aware. I have a pretty large world that was created fresh with U8 all on dedicated, it was crashing a bit when the UE5.2 updates first came out but they fixed those issues pretty quickly

[ivory spear]

once, it was pretty special 😛

i think i have a video of it somewhere

but yeah, it does like a charmed snake rising from the pot thing 😛

[halcyon finch]

I would blame bad hosting. I currently have a dedi too and mine hasn’t crashed yet and isn’t laggy either. That being said though my world isn’t that big and I don’t have extreme amount of players (3) but I would deffo get a VPS and install the dedi yourself. You’ll find that it’s more worth it since you have control over the server and you can find one with the specs you are looking for. (I found that 16GB of ram is more or less what you’d want.)

OMG how difficult is it to place a sign in the correct rotation now.

I am 99.9% sure what they do is count the number of unique connections to game server, this way they don't need to create custom code for each and every game that may or may not actually have any API that reports the amount of players connected. I am fairly confident with some clever iptables netstat - grep commands you can make it a one line script.

Hi folks, my friend and I were encountering a bug and after some googling/searching on discord I have not seen it mentioned. He's running a dedicated server, I punch the IP into server manager, the servername pops up, and an Authenticate button appears. I click the button, punch in the password he gives me..... and nothing happens.

[deep turret]

nothing ?

the password window get out when you validate it ?

[boreal lance]

Hey all, my friend and I are wanting to play multiplayer for the U8 release. We rented a dedicated server awhile back that we played U8 experimental on. We ended up having to quit because the connectivity, vehicles falling through the world, and other big issues. Can anyone comment on the playability for U8 dedicated server early access?

[deep turret]

imo, it is as playable as update 7 server were, if you had performance issues on the server side, update8 may actually run better
but it still can't load very big save files when client connects (it can run it alone though)

[boreal lance]

So do you think it is more stable now than it was 4 months ago when we played? I can't seem to find update information for dedicated servers.

[deep turret]

it definetely is, a lot of multiplayer online system stuff as been fixed/updated

I was merely disclaiming that it may be better than on update 7, it is quite matched in stability and performance features
though there are new gameplay features

main improvement on performance is RAM usage that is very much thinner than on update 7

early save file in update 8 server needs only 2GB RAM instead of 11GB

[boreal lance]

Understood. I've never played multiplayer up until then. We didn't have anything game breaking until we started expanding. Then we started having disconnect issues around vehicles and such. It became uplayable if we were both online. Again, this was about 4 months ago.

[coral shard]

maybe a dumb question but when I start up the dedicated server it has an old game in it, my friends and I want to start a fresh game. I can connect to the server but I can't authenticate to do Create Game, Server Settings, etc. I can't find a password in the config files, any ideas?

[frosty gale]

Not sure where to put this but

Does anyone have any experience with Shockbyte servers? How do you update the server to update 8?

[boreal lance]

I have used Shockbyte in the past (years ago). They had an option to change map from experimental to early access and the like. They should also have some FAQ pages if that doesn't seem to fix it.

[deep turret]

if you updated you server after initializing it, it may not have any successful password setup, so you need to reset the server instance file, which dont worry it is not save files or that kind of stuff
it's only the server specific stuff, in the server user save/config file there is a ServerSetting.<portnumber> file, just delete it and reset the server

[frosty gale]

They haven't updated the FAQ pages for update 8 😭

Also its a early access server

I just wanna know if the server automatically changes to update 8 or not, do you know how it works?

[boreal lance]

Oops. I tried to link something for you.

Got slapped.

[frosty gale]

Well damn

[coral shard]

worked, thank you!

[frosty gale]

They are Very vague with telling you how to update the servers

[unborn haven]

hi all cant start my dedicated server

[boreal lance]

Have you tried turning off the server and restarting it? It may force an update.

[frosty gale]

Doing that now

[unborn haven]

this is what im getting i hit start

[frosty gale]

Downloading update!

[boreal lance]

Sweet!

[unborn haven]

keep going around in circles

heres my interface

[boreal lance]

I unfortunately do not know anything about this.

[unborn haven]

@golden roost can you please shed some light on this

or do i need go experimental

[last blade]

oh alright AMP error

[deep turret]

snutt does not provide support for specific third party interfaces and setup though

[last blade]

i'm experiencing the same problems.

[unborn haven]

this is actually not 3rd party

this is steam cmd

[deep turret]

it's just steamcmd launching update in loop ? are you keep retrying update or what it sucesful everytime

[deep turret]

the interface and updating process are not coffee stains

you could change any commandline settings in steamcmd

[unborn haven]

i might need to wait then

[deep turret]

why do you keep relaunching steamcmd update ?

it says its updated

[unborn haven]

im not

what just happened

[deep turret]

it's already 2 times

[last blade]

He is using cubecoders AMP. the Instance is either dockerized or just running on baremetal. I think it is possible to adjust the start script

and the issue lies probably within that

[unborn haven]

yes i am

[deep turret]

I have an "issue" with them relaunching updates when it literally says it's updated successfully

that is steamcmd not amp stuff

[unborn haven]

so its steam having an issue

[deep turret]

What issue ?

[unborn haven]

quit
16:38:04
CWorkThreadPool::~CWorkThreadPool: work processing queue not empty: 1 items discarded.

steam doing an update loop

[deep turret]

it shows fully updated on your screen

steam is updating it fine

quit

[unborn haven]

just swapped over to experimental

just so you know this is a clean install

just started fine in experimental

[oblique crag]

Had an issue where server wasn't avail due to update on game client. Ran the update on my server (Arch) and now when I try to connect I get this. Nothing else has changed other than running the update. Server worked yesterday.

[deep turret]

update 7 to 8 ?

[last blade]

yep that works for me too!

[oblique crag]

whatever the last update was.

[deep turret]

was

when

[unborn haven]

switched back to public beta now starts

[last blade]

was about to say that. can you connect?

[unborn haven]

checking

[oblique crag]

just ran the update about 10 mins ago. Shows that its on Update 8.3.0

[last blade]

seems to be working

[unborn haven]

connected

grass

[deep turret]

what are your starting arguments ? did you let the server process the game and retried connecting ?

[unborn haven]

my server side load

[last blade]

did you run it with a 4GB limit before?

[unborn haven]

no

[gloomy carbon]

is there an update avaiable yet for the dedicated servers to use update 8, i updated the server but still get a version mismatch when connecting

[keen wagon]

i have the same problem as @last blade server wont let me connect after update

[desert walrus]

Likely version mismatch, check for that

[deep turret]

cpu package load does not give much information

[oblique crag]

Here is what my satisfactory.service looks like:
'[Unit]

[last blade]

set the branch to experimental, update it and revert back to early access. this fixed it

[keen wagon]

okey let me try

[unborn haven]

yes

[feral beacon]

uuhm i forgot my Admin login info for the Localhost thingy sooo how do i reset that?

[deep turret]

add -DisablePacketRouting to your server launching commandline

[deep turret]

it has nothing to do with localhost

[deep turret]

you can try that : #dedicated-servers message

[oblique crag]

is that ExecStart or in the FactoryServer.sh?

[keen wagon]

did not work

[deep turret]

ExecStart=..FactoryServer.sh -DisablePacketRouting

[last blade]

what are you using to host the game? and what is your console output? is it always updating instead of starting it?

[keen wagon]

self hosted on a pterodactyl panel. ill do a reinstall on experimental and then try to switch

[keen wagon]

i am connected. when i try to join i get a connection refused

[last blade]

this seems to be a different issue then

[unborn haven]

check your ports

[keen wagon]

ports are opened. we just played before the update ._.

[deep turret]

check that pterodactyl didnt change the launching settings

also I remember there was nasty stuff with some managers trying to by-pass the start script and so was launching the wrong binary after updating (or even a missing one)

[keen wagon]

hmmm okey guess ill need to dig deeper

[oblique crag]

well that worked, i can connect, but now i forgot the server admin password for authentication. Any idea where i can find that or change it? 😦

[deep turret]

you can try that : #dedicated-servers message

For people asking for password reset :
you can try that : #dedicated-servers message

[oblique crag]

here are the files in my saved/config directory. It doesnt have the ServerSettings.<portnumber> file as stated:
[steam@olympus FactoryGame]$ cd Saved/Config/LinuxServer/
ApexDestruction.ini EditorScriptingUtilities.ini GameUserSettings.ini Niagara.ini Scalability.ini
Compat.ini Engine.ini Hardware.ini Paper2D.ini ServerSettings.ini
ControlRig.ini FullBodyIK.ini Input.ini PhysXVehicles.ini Synthesis.ini
DeviceProfiles.ini Game.ini MotoSynth.ini RuntimeOptions.ini VariantManagerContent.ini

[deep turret]

that is not the save files

that is the game files

[oblique crag]

found it. it was in a hidden directory

[deep turret]

~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame

[frosty gale]

My shockbyte server keeps crashing :(

Its downloaded the update like 5 times by now

[deep turret]

is shockbyte directly providing satisfactory service ?

[oblique crag]

That got me moving forward. Shows Server Name Pending after removing and re-adding it. Seems to be taking a bit to connect though.

[frosty gale]

I think so, yes

[deep turret]

then shame on them

the bytes got shocked

[frosty gale]

Not sure if this helps

I don't really understand it

It just keeps repeating

[deep turret]

sounds like it again #dedicated-servers message

[frosty gale]

Meaning what exactly?

The server is screwed?

[deep turret]

that their starting server procedure is doing bad thing and then think the server is in bad state but they are just unable to start it

[frosty gale]

Damn it

[deep turret]

if you have access to ServerSetting.<port> you can try reseting it

#dedicated-servers message

[sullen remnant]

i cant seem to find my server, stays on "Server name pending"

server is on a vps

what am i missing?

[civic lantern]

perhaps the server isn't running

[sullen remnant]

not sure

[solemn matrix]

my dedicated server kept listening on my IPv6

[civic lantern]

everyone has the ipv6 problem

[oblique crag]

Well, now im back to the original error that was fixed with the -DisablePacketRouting but this time thats not fixing it. I feel like im about to have a clean install of server OS or possibly game server... Would give me the opportunity to put windows back on that machine to run an Ark Ascended server too

[civic lantern]

until you add "-multihome=0.0.0.0" or disable ipv6 in the operating system

the fact it shows you binding to [::]:15000 is proof of this

[sullen remnant]

add -multihome=0.0.0.0 to the .bat?

[civic lantern]

yep. you should see it binding to 0.0.0.0:15000

[sullen remnant]

start FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended -multihome=0.0.0.0 -⁠ServerQueryPort=15800 -⁠BeaconPort=15000 -Port=8000
