they should disconnect and reconnect

deep turret
#

yep

earnest socket
#

This does not help, we have already removed character from the safe, killed her characters, anyway, hangs on this download.

deep turret
#

if they still are stuck connecting maybe it's performance related issue, I have the same problem on very big save on my dedicated server

#

the dedicated server somehow does not want to finish loading the client

earnest socket
#

Moreover, this is exactly the problem on a dedicated server. When I just invited without a dedicated server, she came in without any problems

earnest socket
#

Because the 2nd could go in, one can't Join to server

deep turret
#

I suspect the client and server are playing catch up

I dont like it either tbh

how do i change when the dedicated server saves from 5 minutes to 3hours

#

since the commands no longer work

kind shoal
#

queston for you all which server host would be a good pick for me and my gf and maybe 1 or 2 frinds for satisfactory?

#

looking at both nitrado and gtxgaming. I'm just unsure which is more new person friendly

#

Hey all, Would anyone be able to help me a bit in setting up a dedicated server? I (hopefully) got everything right for the most part, just a few things im still confused about. Using Steamcmd on ubuntu

knotty flare
#

can i add a old world save tomy dedicated server ?

opaque drift
#

Yes just go to the sever manager in game and load it

knotty flare
#

awesome than you

#

how do i find my game saved in my files to send my world to a friend ?

opaque drift
#

Type %localappdata% in file explorer

lethal fjord
#

If im running it on a vm at home, what IP do i actually use to add the server?

opaque drift
#

Then local\factorygame\saved

lethal fjord
#

Also, how do i know when the dedicated server is actually running, after starting FactoryServer i just had the same output for 15-20 min

opaque drift
#

My bad I read ur question wrong lol

lethal fjord
#

What have you guys found easiest to use for the servers? i've been making new VM's all day trying pterodactyl, steamcmd etc

opaque drift
#

Why do you want to use a VM

#

Im no expert just curious

lethal fjord
#

not sure if im gonna keep it for long, dont wanna spend on renting a server, its more just im interested in it and for myself and a buddy to mess around in

opaque drift
#

Why not Just run it on your PC natively

lethal fjord
#

No idea lol, started trying to do it on a VM, and just sat there trying to do it lol

opaque drift
#

🤷‍♂️ just run it natiely it’s not very resource intensive

knotty flare
#

i cant figure out how to get these servers to work so my friends can join them is there any tutorials ?

viscid ore
#

u could set up your virtual box network settings to allow the VM to get its own IP from your router, then go into your router and port forward the satisfactory ports for your vm. But yeah there's not really any reason to use a VM for this

viscid ore

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound ports" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 15000,15777,7777 i did use this in power shell like it was advised

knotty flare
viscid ore
#

Yeah, so that's gonna set it up on your local network but you need your router to unblock those UDP ports so that people outside your network can connect to you. If you run the server on your computer, are you able to connect to it yourself?

knotty flare
#

yes i can connect

viscid ore
#

Yeah try accessing your router from your computer browser, most of them should show a login or something if you type "192.168.0.1" in a web browser

knotty flare
#

im inside the router just dont get port forwarding

viscid ore
#

What's your router model

knotty flare
stuck oasis
knotty flare
viscid ore
knotty flare
#

do i have to make 3 port forwarding for each port

viscid ore
#

Probably

knotty flare
#

so like 1 for each

#

and public port and local port are the same ?

viscid ore
#

Yeah

knotty flare
#

done all 3

viscid ore
#

Once you do that, it should take a few minutes but your friend should be able to see your server

knotty flare
#

awesome ill give it a test now

#

just coming us as this for them

Iam hosting a dedicated server but i get kicking out of it ands its lagging, the server has a AMD Ryzen 5 5560U (Core and 4 GHz) 16 GB RAM Windows 11.

Did you figure it out im having the same issue

Hi guys, having some dedicated server troubles. I've tried with both SteamCMD and the Satisfactory Dedicated Server tool in the Steam Library, and have run the necessary commands as administrator in Powershell to create a firewall exception and to check the inbound ports are open (looks identical to the screenshot on the wiki page). Problem is, only I can connect to the server through the server manager. My friend has tried using my public IP but no luck. We both have moderate NAT. Anything I can try?

^ I did try this changing to Friends Only (I assume we've all seen that reddit post) but apparently that isn't how dedicated servers work anyway.

earnest socket
stuck oasis
#

interesting, ill look and see where mine is installed.

#

mine appears to be on my m.2 ssd. Im on linux though but it has been working fine until update 8

#

i wonder if there's some breaking compatibility issue. I'll have to try on my windows partition 😦

#

what's whacky is i was able to log into the server several times after update 8 went out and use it. it just stopped working mid session and i logged out and couldn't get back in.

Hello, i rented a Dedicated Server and load up my savegame, when it restarts it wont start the game, it force me to begin a new one. Every time after a restart. Is this a known bug?

viscid ore
#

Did you actually go into your router? That command only opens ports in your firewall on your computer, not in your router

fervent plaza
#

Yeah I have, all 3 are opened on the router

viscid ore
#

Are you using the default ports

fallow linden
desert walrus
# fallow linden so just wait

More than likely. We could try to track down the issue if you'd like but the experience is not very good nonetheless.

#

Yeah not having a good experience with a friends Dedicated server either heh

viscid ore
#

Double check that the ports are open using an open port checker tool online

fervent plaza

Alright lemme have a go

#

Ah, okay

#

How large is the savefile?

fallow linden
#

wait let me check

#

4.916 KB

#

i dont think its much

desert walrus
#

Not large enough that the hosting hw should be an issue

#

Is there anything else running on the server?

fallow linden
#

no

desert walrus
#

What message do you get when it kicks you out?

fallow linden
#

it just timesout

desert walrus
#

@verbal spoke can you please enable threads in this channel?

desert walrus
viscid ore
#

Lmao guess I'll have to dm it

desert walrus
#

Just remove the https:// from the beginning of the link

viscid ore
#

Ok

#

Format for checking your port is <public ip>:<port>

fierce night
viscid ore
#

It's been a while since I've needed to check ports but yeah I typically use this one

ashen apex
#

If I spin up a dedicated server, can it be update 8?

fervent plaza
#

I guess my router is refusing to cooperate because the ports are closed. Seems others are having issues too. Well at least I've narrowed it down now, thanks

dense lodge
fervent plaza
#

Then again, using the website you've linked returns Open or Filtered

dense lodge
#

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

brittle sage

does anyone else have this
that once you connect conveyor belts to an assembler it wont transport any items?
Update: its only the right slot that doesnt work

grim mica
fervent plaza
viscid ore
#

Yea

#

If you try a blocked port it should say no route to host

grim mica
#

I honestly dont know how its checking UDP port status.. the protocol doesnt really work that way

#

I just threw a random port in there that isnt being forwarded and should be actively dropped by my firewall and it says open or filtered.. lol

viscid ore
#

Lol idk, seems to work fine for me. I throw in a random port and it says no route

#

What port are you trying

grim mica
#

You are using the UDP port check?

viscid ore
#

Just out of curiosity

grim mica
#

I tried 15000 which is and 42222 which isnt

viscid ore
#

15000 is the game port no?

grim mica
#

I mean.. it needs all 3 ports so does it matter? The server is listening on all 3 and all 3 are forwarded on my firewall

viscid ore
#

Oh yeah, I thought u meant that you tried 15000 as the random port

#

My b

grim mica
#

My point is that UDP is stateless and doesnt give you an indication on whether the connection was successful... so questioning how exactly they are determining UDP forwarding status when you really cant check unless you are using an application that will do two-way comms

viscid ore
#

unix.stackexchange.com/a/235845

seems like it depends on if your router sends the "port closed" message for UDP ports or not. I'm guessing the "or filtered" part means the firewall is preventing the message being sent back

#

I guess a workaround is to just try to open both tcp and UDP and check the tcp port lol

fervent plaza
#

I haven't got a clue why the server is being weird then. Guess I'll just stick to running a server from the game like a pleb hehe

Hey guys, got a server up and running earlier, having trouble getting the session ID, I created a new game, when I try to copy the ID to clipboard in game it says I need to change privacy to friends only, I do that, but still gives me that error message, if I unpause and pause again, the privacy changes back to private, any ideas on what my dumb dumb head doing wrong?

viscid ore
#

Dedicated server does not use session id. You need to just give your friend the ip and connect through the server manager. If you are hosting it yourself you need to open the ports on your router so that your friend can connect

Right, that internal ip only works on your network. You need your router's ip which can be found by any "what's my ip" website

Im trying to test a deployment I just got running on the akash network. Problem is i cant find the containers ip

viscid ore
#

not in the log files?

tranquil cypress
#

I did see something that looked like an ip. ill see what the logs say

#

I see a 0.0.0.0 something with a port but nothing like an ip address

viscid ore
#

wait do you have a domainto the deployment? should be on the deployment details page

tranquil cypress
#

Yes I do

viscid ore
#

yeah thats just an alias for the ip

tranquil cypress
#

ah ok

viscid ore
#

if you want the actual numbers you can use the ping command

#

and plug in the domain

tranquil cypress
#

so I just use ping?

viscid ore
#

if you want the numbers, yes. but usually anything that takes the ip should also accept domain names

tranquil cypress
#

ah I see now

#

Want to try out my server?

viscid ore
#

to see if its up?

tranquil cypress
#

Yes

viscid ore

do i set the ip in the 0.0.0.0? or is that the code?

#

Can anyone help me, I'm having a problem installing the Server, it appears that the server is unavailable on CMD, it seems that I tried to connect to the server

#

I already tried using the public IP and the local IP

sour mauve
#

yeah, im able to connect on my local ip, but not public. ports are forwarded, firewall rules there

elfin ore
#

me too

elfin ore
blissful lily
#

my firewall is already disabled

grim mica
#

If you are behind a router/firewall you likely wont be able to connect to your public/outside IP

#

You need to use the internal, not the external

#

Others will use the external

sour mauve
#

yeah, meant buddies cant via public

grim mica
#

Okay, did you forward all 3 ports? And using the multihome switch?

sour mauve
grim mica
#

Yeah that isnt really going to check UDP availability in all cases.. UDP is stateless so you cant "connect" to it, just send stuff and it sends it back if you are talking to it correctly

sour mauve
#

either way yeah

grim mica
#

So it works internally for you, but not external - what router/firewall device do you have?

sour mauve
#

nest home

#

wahtever the hell googles is called now

grim mica
#

And you forwarded 7777, 15000 and 15777 UDP (not TCP & assuming default ports)

sour mauve
#

lookin at the rules now

#

and yes

#

even have old ports for when i was running a few games

grim mica
#

What is the server running on?

sour mauve
#

windows using nssm

grim mica
#

Well I am also using NSSM with a pfSense firewall and after forwarding the 3 ports, works okay with multihome.. so some other problem in between it seems

#

I used to have Eero's which are sorta similiar to Nest, maybe its double NATing or something. What is your dedicated internal IP and the router IP? On the same subnet?

sour mauve
#

192.168.86.63 192.168.86.1

blissful lily
grim mica
#

Do you get anything at all in the factorygame.log when others try to connect?

blissful lily
#

yes

grim mica
#

Red your problem is multihome, I can see the IPv6 addresses there trying to attach to IPv4

#

And in the one above it its binding to the ipv6 address

blissful lily
grim mica
#

Yes, you see the ::ffff::170.... that is trying to do a 4to6 or something which doesnt work atm, add -multihome=0.0.0.0 and it will fix that

sour mauve
#

notta thing in the logs

blissful lily
#

how do I do that ?

grim mica
#

Then they arent getting to the server at all, maybe reboot your Nest? Dunno on that one

sour mauve
#

yeah, that was my next step

grim mica
sour mauve
#

ill report back if that works so folks can see it

grim mica
#

Could also throw up another server to test as well, just to be sure where the issue is

blissful lily
#

What about this error

image.png
grim mica
#

Seeems like you alreayd checked windows fw, but that shouldnt matter since LAN works

sour mauve
#

no dice on the restart

grim mica
#

That looks like the initial startup is having an error loading the world

blissful lily
grim mica
#

take add out and i dont think you can have spaces in the port config

elfin ore
#

its worked for me, but only whit Ouery port

grim mica
#

Is there are a reason you are specifying all of the ports?

blissful lily
#

yes, they are open to me.. but even with the 7777 standard the same thing

elfin ore
#

My friend tried from port 7777 But it doesn't work

grim mica
#

If something isnt working, why make it more complicated by specifying non-standard stuff.. oh well

#

You should connect using the "QueryPort" when adding it in server manager

elfin ore
#

I didn't understand the last line, sorry

#

My friend tried this QueryPort

#

But it tells Connecting status

#

Long term and it doesn't work

#

@grim mica

blissful lily
grim mica
#

Did you show any logs or anything? Dont think I saw anything

grim mica
#

Unless your ISP is blocking inbound ports for some reason, they probably wont be able to help much

twilit fox
#

If you have an ISP provided modem, not all of them can be placed in "bridge" mode at that point you may have to buy your own cable modem

grim mica
#

Do they make Nest modem/routers? That might be the case but I dont think ive seen one

blissful lily
#

I can't, I use fiber I have another game server 7 days to die and it works normally

elfin ore
twilit fox
#

is your other game server using any of the same ports?

grim mica
#

7d2d doesnt use 7777 15000 or 15777, i run one ocasionally as well

twilit fox
#

depending on how their server handles stuff it may still work even if the ports are locked. so saying I have another server and it works fine doesn't really apply

grim mica
# elfin ore

Client seems to be making a connection, do you have all 3 ports forwarded and have the multihome set on the launch of the server?

#

Well it at least means the port forward would work, there isnt a double-nat in between and is able to connect on the LAN - just nothing on WAN

blissful lily
#

The problem is that it accepts the connection but within the game I can't change the server settings

grim mica
#

Cant authenticate or asks for auth?

#

I thought you said external clients show no connections in the log at all? Are you able to connect on LAN and actually get into the game and move around or no?

blissful lily
#

I still don't know how to configure Multi home, just do this

image.png
grim mica
#

oh my

#

wait you changed the fking ports lol

blissful lily
#

I have to put the IP in place of 0.0.0.0

grim mica
#

0.0.0.0 = any/all, so dont need to set it

#

and that is the proper place to put it, however your ports are not the default ones

#

Whats with the weird spacing and characters in between?

blissful lily
#

Well, tomorrow I will arrange for the opening of the standard ports because I depend on my internet provider

grim mica
#

This is my NSSM setup and launch commands

image.png
#

Oh I am confusing Ominous and Red.. my bad

#

If you want to use those ports, you need to stop the 7d2d server

elfin ore
grim mica
#

A singular port (1-65534) is able to bind only one process per IP address

#

If 7d2d is started and its using 26900, it will be claimed by the other process and when satis starts up wont be able to bind

blissful lily
grim mica
blissful lily
#

cI noticed you use a program for this

grim mica
#

NSSM is just a service manager, if the dedi crashes it auto restarts and when I reboot the machine it will auto start, thats basically it

#

Its the same as running it via a cmd/powershell but is handled as a "service" instead of an app running in the user session

twilit fox
#

as is factory server crashes quite often.. so if you've got other things to do during the day rather than babysit your server.. it's a must

#

But I still have a problem with port 7777

#

My friend should connect to the server from port 7777 right?

#

@grim mica

grim mica
#

Did you set a different port?

elfin ore
#

@grim mica

#

Well my friend sees the online server when he puts port 15777

#

but this QueryPort

grim mica
#

You connect to the server with the query port, the server will then send the proper ports to the client

#

If a client isnt able to connect, check your port forwards and set multihome if it isnt in place yet

elfin ore
#

Well I'll try it when my friend wakes up

#

Thank you very much and sorry for bothering you

Experts in this channel are probably heckin busy lol

#

I just joined in because update 8 broke my dedicated server setup

#

Reading up on the previous fixes to see if anything helps me

#

Thanks for everything you all are doing here

#

Yeah, nothing's fixed me yet. Multihome or no, my server just doesn't work anymore

#

I wonder if this is the issue?

image.png
#

My server is.. was... configured to listen on 15777

#

Doing -Port=15777 didn't change this value, so idk if it's related

#

If I remove the -multihome line, I see lines like this whenever I try to load my server from the client

image.png
#

But it just sticks there and I eventually get timed out on the client side

grim mica
#

Are you using custom ports or no?

plush lake
#

No, I'm using the defaults

#

Opened 7777, 15000, and 15777 through my firewall

All was working before Update 8

Hello, my friend recently set up a dedicated satisfactory server, and can join and play on the serverhimeself. However, whenever i try to join it says Server name pending. I have asked this question in a different section before i was kindly directed here towards the experts. From my understanding, my friend must make the server 'multihome' and give me a public ip. I have looked up a few ways to solve these issues and found almost zero cohesive or understandable answers. Can someone help with this issue?
here is the thread of our problem:https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1174680397624381491****

grim mica
#

Doesn't look like multihone issue at least, can ping me tomorrow when you are around

grim mica
green cloak
#

anywhere explaining how to do that?

grim mica
#

If it's working locally might need multihome added after ports are forwarded. There are probably plenty of guides on YouTube but it will be specific to your friends router/firewall and is different between vendors.

#

Suggest figuring out the model or at least the manufacturer and googling around with 'port forward' and the model/manufacturer

green cloak
#

alright thanks

grim mica
#

It's generally pretty easy as long as they have access to do so, sometimes internet providers don't offer it

#

Once the ports are forwarded go-to ipchicken.con and that is the up you should connect to

#

Its 7777, 15000 and 15777 UDP if using defaults

green cloak
#

Yeah pretty sure it should be 15777

grim mica
#

All of them are needed, that is just the query port

#

7777 is the game port and 15000 is beacon, all tech jargon.. but all 3 are needed regardless

I have the problem that can be seen in the pictures.
In the game itself I get a timeout when it tries to connect to the server. at this point I don't even connect to the game itself.

I updated the Dedicated Debian Server normally via steamcmd, did NOT use the experimental version and started the server.
Tiemout entry, I have already done, no difference.
I also did multihome, but it didn't even recognize that the server was running.

Any ideas?

Ah, I see

gilded elbow
#

The same error is back.... 😭

thorny shore
#

do you need to start and stop the server on a regular basis?

gilded elbow
#

ip adress are all fix in routeur

thorny shore
#

then run the same command that you used to solve it the first time.

plush lake
gilded elbow
#

I start with same file

thorny shore
#

did you add -multihome=<some.ip.address> or just -multihome? The latter won't work, the former should. BTW, look into adding the server in as a service using NSSM or some such. The Dedicated Server Wiki is your friend.

gilded elbow
thorny shore
#

is your ip address still .57?

gilded elbow
thorny shore
#

Then I don't know what to tell ya. I don't use a batch file to start up my server. Maybe someone else can help you from here on out.

Just something random here; had ith with my (dedicated) server add the port separately in Windows Firewall (when running windows) and not via 1 rule to ring them all.

I have ran it before fine but I went to try setup a new with the new update and well i am havign this issue

Problem solved, The Primary Port in Pterodactyl was wrong

#

why is my server restarting in 30 mins ?

knotty flare
#

my server did an automatic restart and is now running badly ?

grim mica
#

I believe the auto restart just reloads the world, might want to try actually stopping and starting it if its having issues

plush lake
#

Does anyone know the network stack for the server handshake? Is it like this?

  1. Client connects to server via ip x.x.x.x over port 15777
  2. server receives connection and sets a connection on 0.0.0.0:15000
  3. server sends connection and server info back to client over established connection
#

I'm trying to figure out where the server failed when I had my vpn on

#

I excluded FactoryServer.exe and the Unreal exe from my VPN

#

As a client, I was able to see my server. When I attempted connection, I see in the server logs that it saw the client connect and did step 2 above

#

Then it just fails

grim mica
#

This is the best description of what the port do, how it handles telling the client which and where.. dont know #dedicated-servers message

plush lake
#

Thanks!

grim mica
#

If I had to guess, query port is just basic hello and here's the beacon port for management, then once 'joining' it switches to game port

#

So 15777 -> 15000 -> 7777 I suspect would be the client connection flow

plush lake
#

Hmm, all three are forwarded in my router

grim mica
#

Not really sure what you mean by VPN, talkingabout Nord/Shark type thing?

plush lake
#

Yeah, proton vpn

#

It allows split tunneling so I can, say, have all my Firefox traffic go through the vpn and have Chrome go through unfiltered

#

So if I do "what is my ip" on Firefox and Chrome, they'll be different

#

I have it set up so the Satisfactory server files are unfiltered.

grim mica
#

Interesting, okay

plush lake
#

And it worked before update 8, so I'm not exactly sure what changed on the back end

grim mica
#

How far are you getting? Able to add it via server manager?

plush lake
#

Yeah, I can add it

#

When I try to connect as a client, the server logs update showing the attempted connection too

#

So it's reaching the server

#

Just not reaching back to the client

grim mica
#

Multihome param set?

plush lake
#

Yep

#

Maybe the multihome param won't work if it's 0.0.0.0 with a vpn running...

#

I'll have to test that when I get home. Maybe set it to 127.0.0.1 or something

grim mica
#

Is this only for external clients or also your own client on LAN? Or I guess same machine I assume?

plush lake
#

Both

grim mica
#

0.0.0.0 is bind all/any so shouldnt matter unless you have multiple adapters that you want to specifically bind it to listen on

plush lake
#

Ah, that makes sense

#

VPN adds an adapter, I think, actually

grim mica
#

I suppose you could specify the adapter/IP that you want it to listen on since you would have multiple with VPN but it should still listen on any/all regardless

Hi there. We´ve got an issue with our private server we hosted new today with gportal. After some problems with a person who joins our private game (he/she destroyed our HUB and went offline) we want to install the backup. but since then we can´t get the authentification anymore to set up the server in the game menu. Does anyone has a hint for us?

grim mica
#

Meaning you dont get prompted to authenticate?

ornate lagoon
#

we click on the authenification button, type in the passwort but then nothing happens

grim mica
#

If you goto the Create or Settings tabs it will ask for auth, for some reason the save screen doesnt ask for auth

#

Get that, type the password in and it goes away or the box stays there?

image.png
ornate lagoon
#

yes this window appears. but when we type in the adminpassword nothing happens

#

the box stays

#

ok now it disapears but nothing happens

grim mica
#

Interesting, dont think ive seen that before.. Is it possible to recreate the server freshly and then upload the save again? Not familiar with gportal enough to know that

#

If you type the wrong password it will just kick you back to the page with authentication again, but doesnt indicate that the wrong password was entered

ornate lagoon
#

we already tried. even change the adminpassword for the server on the gportal site. in case we got hacked. but still the same

grim mica
#

Do you have access to the server files with gportal? If you can delete the serversettings file it regenerates it at startup and will load the latest autosave as well

ornate lagoon
#

already tried 😦

grim mica
#

I would think that the gportal site cannot manipulate the Satisfactory auth password though, would need to be done through the game

#

Deleted the serversettings file and restarted the server and it asks for auth?

ornate lagoon
#

yes

grim mica
#

If its asking for auth then thats not the right file.. since it will ask to create a password on first connection

#

Just checked against my own DS and if you enter the wrong (or correct) auth password there is no log entry that it even happened.. so seems impossible to tell if that is the issue or not

ornate lagoon
#

Ok. now we have deleted the savegames on the gportal server and imported the backup. restarted the game and added the server again in the ServerManager. However, authentication is still required. When the button is clicked and the password is entered, the window disappears and nothing happens. Once again 😦

#

We changed the Server IP at the Gportal-Site. Now everthing is fine. Thanks for the help 🙂

#

I play with a friend and if he uses the hypertube, he gets stuck most of the time and results in client disconnect. This did not happen in update 7

sonic sable
#

when i start my server it still just hangs at the line that says ScheduleNextSDKConfigDataUpdate

#

I'm starting with these commands -multihome=0.0.0.0 -log -unattended

#

i just had to wait a bit lol

#

what a maroon

#

I started a new save when update 8 came out. Got to trucks. set them up. and this is what is going on.. it is on my server, I play with a couple of people. anyone have an ideas on why this is going on? or should i report this on the site?

#

when the trucks are close to me. they warp forward, when the get at distance, they become smooth

grim mica
#

Are they not delivering correctly?

#

I honestly never use vehicles for transport on dedicated, they have always been wonky and with U8 its probably a bit worse than it has been in the past. I usually stick to belts within the region or specific product build and train or drones for logstics between

iron scarab
#

They are delivering everything correctly. it just looks wonky. lol. I am still gonna use them.. was just wondering if there is a fix for that.

viscid ore
#

Yeah they sort of teleport when you are within a certain range of them but are smooth when far away

#

But they still work fine, and manual driving is okay too

even tho i increased the timeout limit. to 180seconds.
any idea what might the problem ?

there are both server and client timeouts at play
do your linux machine is powerful enough to run the server ?

dreamy quarry

Is portforwarding like that ok or missunderstood I something

that is only showing one port number

yep

i did it for every port single

that's right

now if rules are enabled/activated it should work ok when server is up with default settings

thanks for the advice

so 192.168.x.x is your local network translated by your router
and the other one not like that is your public router internet address

#

and if it looks weird or confusing it's because these are only really meaningful in binary format not in decimal commonly readable numbers

vernal magnet
vernal magnet
#

well, sadly it seems like what ever i do to those files in appdata directory, it dose not have any effect on my client side settings in linux
how ever for anyone that might need to know where those settings are, this is the path.
< steam library path > /steamapps/compatdata/526870/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/

vernal magnet
#

alright i got an update on this problem, i think by default the engine tries to only ocnnect via IP v6
in my case my ISP dose not even provide and IPv6 and the router dose not really use it.

to disable it on linux run the following command with super user (root) privileges

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1

i dont know if there is a setting for this in the config file on the server side client side, would be greatly appreciated if you know.

deep turret
vernal magnet
#

nope, i was not aware of that one causing problems, cus on older edditions it ran like normal

deep turret
#

I mean FactoryServer.sh -multihome=0.0.0.0 is supposed to make the server focus on ipv4 only

deep turret
vernal magnet
#

yeahy i'll have to look into it, now my friends cant connect to my server anymore, so i have to look into that XD.

HELPPPP!!!!
i saved my game yesterday and now my complete inventory is empty, what can i do to get it back?
I had over 11 Harddrives in my inventory, everything is gone,
at all savegames its the same problem!

autumn mist
#

Did you start back at your hub on load? I just upgraded my server to U8 and it considered me a new player, so I need to find and kill my "offline" self to get my inventory back.

strange nest
#

i start there, where the sdavepoint was at this time

#

my hub is in my inventory, but on the map there is no box where i can find my "dead body"

autumn mist
#

I don't think it'll show one because you aren't technically dead.

#

It considers your old body as a logged out player

strange nest
#

ouh dammit, so i have to search for it?

#

found it with an website 😄

autumn mist
#

Yup, although I've found Satisfactory Calculator's interactive map to be really handy in these cases. You just need to grab a copy of your save from the server.

strange nest
#

HAHA, tanks for your fast help! , Love you! 😗

autumn mist
#

Ahh- looks like you got it

strange nest

Satisfactory Calculator's interactive map, same same 😉

@deep turret basically I posted it here cos there are knowledgeable ppl here perhaps someone has a similar thing, it is a 10 year server and only has RGB blue connector video output and I do not have an old RGB connector monitor

deep turret
#

gt710 is old too

crystal eagle
#

Yes but it has HDMI output and cheap

deep turret
#

VGA monitors are really cheap too, it's easy to find some people does not want to use anymore
you usually only need a screen to setup the server until you can access it from network

#

do you want to install linux or windows on it ?

crystal eagle
#

I'm more familiar with windows at my age don't want the learning curve of Linux

deep turret
#

tbh windows server is not fully like windows (client) either

#

and if you want to run windows client (the usual one) on it you need to check there is only one xeon inside that box, otherwise it will not work, only windows server are ready for dualsocket motherboards
as far as I can remember

crystal eagle
#

to be fair I wasnt going for windows server just windows 10, I just want to host a couple of games on it to experiment

crystal eagle
deep turret
#

the double psus are there for redundancy, they are hotswapable

#

it's not for each xeon

crystal eagle
#

Ok thanks for that

deep turret
#

though it may be possible to disable one xeon from the bios, I'm not sure

#

and I dont know if windows will want to boot from that

#

microsoft is making a shit ton of money from windows server licensing so they will not support server system with simple windows

crystal eagle
deep turret
#

to be honest, linux would be the easy way on this kind of system, it is not under personal/system licensing, and it is made to work on that kind of stuff

#

and you can easily manage it without monitor

crystal eagle
#

Ok so Linux will have to do then 😉

deep turret
#

also linux does not try to drop compatibility with old systems

#

so latest linux will run fine on it

crystal eagle
#

Brilliant

deep turret
#

but the hard part especially if you are not used to, is installing linux and managing it from remote console
(even though it's way easier and more reliable than with windows, if you dont know how to, it can still be complicated)

crystal eagle
#

I assume there is knowledge base on the net for the installation

deep turret
#

welcome to the linux rabbit hole
: it completly depend what kind of system you want to install

#

the most diy and then flexible is archlinux gentoo or in some way alpine linux
but you can also use the more standard debian versions

crystal eagle
#

this is what its compatible with: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 2003 R2, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2008, Microsoft Windows Server 2012, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5 and 6, Red Hat Enterprise MRG 1.0/2.0 Realtime, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and 11, VMware ESX 4/4.1 and VMware ESXi 4/4.1 embedded hypervisor, Sun Solaris 10, VMware vSphere 5/5.1.

deep turret
#

and then there are also manjaro unbuntu etc..

deep turret
#

if you want what is the most used in every server linux tutorial you can go with debian

#

it is also probably easier to install than the other ones

crystal eagle
#

wow brilliant

deep turret
#

also unlike other linux I talked about here, debian is not rolling, so once it is installed it will not constantly change everytime

crystal eagle
#

Thats even better 🙂

deep turret
#

now keep in mind it's not because it is more standard and prepared than the other too that it means it's not linux
I mean be ready to deal with documentation still

crystal eagle
#

as long it is linux base and the files work it is good for me @deep turret thanks vm for the info

#

#

you probably want a vga monitor to start things off, but you probably can find it from old house with old spare parts that does not want to use it anymore

crystal eagle
#

I think I have an old vga LED tv with rgb connector

deep turret
#

in the end yes you could maybe try to connect your gt710 to it, but only if you have a gt710 low profile card
and you may need server accessories that you didnt get with your server machine

#

such as pcie risers

#

but vga monitor still are there even if they are dusty and old, so it may be easier and cheaper in the end

crystal eagle
#

all is included inside and the GT710 would fit as its a one slot GPU

deep turret
#

ok, then you can try it, gt710 does not need external power right ?

crystal eagle
#

it does not need external power but my worry was that on the slot there is a sticker saying 25w that is why i was asking if it would be compatible

deep turret
#

there are 2 slots, it's on both ?

#

gt710 is stock 19W tdp

#

so it is probably alright

crystal eagle
#

yes it is on both

#

19w tdp is good news I myself did not see that I only saw that the it need a minimum of a 300w PSU

deep turret
#

technically we drifted away the main topic of this channel a lot

#

and I feel guilty for not pushing you in #off-topic-tech to explain all that stuff to you

crystal eagle
#

Ok no problem thanks for your invaluable help really appreciate it

I'm unable to connect to my dedicated server on my local network, despite others from outside my local net being able to connect 😦

  • no errors in server log
  • was previously able to connect no problem, even briefly after update 8. One day the click to build stopped responding so i disconnected, and haven't been able to connect again
  • no timeouts, i am just stuck here.
  • others are still able to connect, but I am unable.

  • added the --multihome=0.0.0.0, still no fix.
  • installed onto an m.2 SSD

  • my steam deck was able to connect on the same network so it can't be a network setting
  • my friend just told me his got stuck at the loading screen now too.

  • on a second attempt to log in with steam deck, i could hear sounds, including reactions to my button inputs, but was still stuck on loading
  • third login, same symptom as desktop and now friend
#

It appears the first and sometimes second login works, then after that it gets stuck on a loading screen. I'm going to back up my save and try an earlier one, and then perhaps a fresh start save and see if it works

So, I set up my server a long time ago (year plus at least) and have since forgotten the admin password for it and cannot authenticate to the server at all anymore.

After checking the wiki about resetting it, I do not have a ServerSettings.[port] file anywhere. not on the server, not in my local install, so I can't delete anything (Though I did remove all of the .sav files from a past time playing for good measure on the server file system.

Where else might this information be located for me to get a fresh start on it?

ie - change the line

$InstallationDir/FactoryServer.sh

to be

$InstallationDir/FactoryServer.sh -multihome=<your public ip>

# gleaming blade is this on linux or windows?

Linux. I have the server installed and configuerd in a /GameServers/Satisfactory location, so the path I would have expected to see these files in would be /GameServers/Satisfactory/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/. This is where the server/ location is that contains the world .sav files. I just have no SatisfactoryServer.15777 file to delete per the wiki instructions.

I did end up adding the -multihome=0.0.0.0 to my startup command to allow ipv4 connectivity earlier today. I just now can't authenticate.

gleaming blade
#

if nothing from that, try

find /GameServers -name ServerSettings*

#

That I see. I didn't realize the server would use the users home path for the servers. I was expecting it to use the server install locations. Thank you for that clarification. didn't know it was going from the user specifically.

#

ended up getting both of my servers now. Much appreciated.

no worries. I think it's one of those things that steamcmd wants it in a particular place

anyway, happy to help. now I'm just trying to work out why my server is kicking people after 30 seconds even after the connection timeout edits to GameUserSettings.ini (which going on their description shouldn't change timeouts for saves) and a bunch of server and system restarts.

oof, yeah, it's been a long time since playing for me, so we were starting fresh. I was just slightly shocked that the reinstalls didn't reset the passwords, but given that central location for steam, I guess it makes sense.

I guess it also means that if you re-install the game to switch from EA to experimental you're not clobbering everything

What is the best monthly subscription server for satisfactory for the money?

deep turret
#

probably buying your own server hardware and look through the next years of use how you spread the cost for each months

#

but need more knowledge ofcourse

#

since update 8 need less ram, you can start with a less costly bare machine, and put the server on it

hi how can i start my dedicated server on landing 0 ?

desert walrus
#

What is landing 0?

frosty gale
#

level

#

sorry im french but in french is "palier"

frosty gale
deep turret
#

in the hub there are no level

#

you probably means milestones

frosty gale
#

yes

#

after start my server the milestone 0 is skip

grim mica
#

Play it on single player/normal multiplayer then when you get the hub finished upload to the dedi

#

I don't think you can start with the 'tutorial' part on dedicated including the pod drop sequence

deep turret
#

I started on dedicated servers, what is being talked about ?

thorny shore
#

I don't know why you'd want to, tbh.

deep turret
#

I first built hub from inventory

grim mica
#

The early phases of the game where the hub isn't even built yet and you basically just sit there handcrafting to add all of the parts

deep turret
#

all the parts to what ?

grim mica
#

On dedi you spawn with hub parts in inv and can just build it fully completed

thorny shore
grim mica
#

Dude start a new, single player and tell me the hub is there..

thorny shore
#

why do you not want to skip the tutorial part?

grim mica
#

To each their own I suppose.. lol

thorny shore
#

you can also skip the tutorial in singleplayer.

grim mica
#

I think I did the tutorial 2-3 times and once they added the option to skip never went back again, far too slow

thorny shore
#

(which I did for a new save with me starting in Northern Forest)

grim mica
#

Back on u3/4/5 or something

thorny shore
#

The tutorial is good for newbies. But you're right, far too slow for more experienced players who know what they want to do and how to do the basics. Again, why wouldn't you want to skip that on dedicated? Especially since you only need one hub and one space elevator. Unlocks are shared for everyone.

deep turret
#

I never done tutorial then

Hey guys, I'm having you issues with my attempt at running a server.

Running the game without -multihome runs the server and is accessible locally with [::1] but dispite all my firewall and Router filters being set up fine my ports for the server never open [My MC server runs off the exact same Firewall and Router Filter template so I've ruled that out]

When trying to run the server using -multihome=[REDACTED::##64] i get a serialization error and the server runs as if i never typed it in (Running on [::1] and 0.0.0.0)

When trying to run the server using -multihome=REDACTED::##64 the server attempts to run but then shuts down with the only notable errors being:

LogServer: Error: Failed to initialize server. Could not bind any addresses to port '7778'.This is very likely caused by another server instance already running. Use a different port number with the -ServerQueryPort=<port> startup argument if you intend to run multiple instances.

Are your external peeps trying via IPv6 or v4?

vast mortar
#

I'm using my usual site to check with ipv6: Port Tools / IPV6 port checker
This site has never failed me with testing other game servers

grim mica
#

Oh boy again with port checking.. so UDP is stateless and you wont get an actual true open/close when trying to query a UDP port

#

People see "open or filtered" that just means the firewall didnt reject the packet, but it still could be discarding (the superior firewalling method)

vast mortar
#

Excuse my ignorance but does a MC server not also use the same

grim mica
#

I dont know anything about Minecraft, if its UDP ports its always the same

#

The protocol itself is stateless, has nothing to do with the application

#

TCP connections are stateful and would have a connection established to validate connectivity

#

Getting into a networking conversation which isnt relevant.. so anyway. Multihome does two things, one it forces the listener bind to the specific adapter (why I tell people to just use 0.0.0.0) AND it disables UE5 'packet routing' which appears to be the actual issue.. So if external peeps are connecting via v4 then dont use v6 internally and give your external clients the ipv4 address

vast mortar
#

Well as far as im aware they are both using UDP and my MC server reports as open which also has correlated to my friends being able to connect or not...

Where as Im currently testing SF and its reporting FAILED

grim mica
#

As long as you are using default ports, forwarding 7777,15000,15777 UDP to the server, along with the multihome switch, they should be able to join

vast mortar
#

Well when my friend is available I will test, atm i have no way to actually attempt to join from outside my network

iron scarab
#

has there been a fix for the warping vehicles on autopilot?

grim mica
#

Do you have a cell phone and wireless adapter? Can hotspot it

iron scarab
#

it never happened before.. update 8 broke it

grim mica
#

Right, well then play U7 😄

#

Put your machine on a hotspot and try to connect from outside with the LAN disabled

vast mortar
#

My server is running off the same machine as my Game Client so i don't think thats possible

grim mica
#

Oh.. okay then yeah probably not easy to do

elfin ore
#

Is this Right?

vast mortar
#

Well i appreciate the help none the less, I'll check back in once my Friend is online SnuttsGood

grim mica
#

You can DM me your IP and I can try, up to you

#

Right for what?

elfin ore
#

for cod

#

mIntValues=(("FG.NetworkQuality", 3))

#

Is it placed like this?

grim mica
#

Run 'netstat -ano' from a cmd prompt and look for ip:7777 with the process ID and then use taskmgr to find what is using that

#

That looks like the client settings ini file not the server one?

elfin ore
#

Or don't you talk to me?

grim mica
#

Seems to be missing a bunch of files too, but yeah

#

Thats what my directory looks like where the ini files are for dedi

image.png
vast mortar
# grim mica I also just read through the error a bit more, not sure if its related to the at...

I'm sure that my ports are free and Filtered, I'm behind CGNAT so IPV4 is off the table.

I'm using ports 7777 for the Server, 7778 For the Query and 7779 for the Beacon. I know these aren't default but that shouldn't be a problem (It makes filtering on my router easier)
I'm also using -multihome=:: which has seemingly worked fine. The server is running and I'm in the game locally, If your up for testing it out if i DM you my address I'd appreciate it

However, my 1G fiber connection doesnt actually offer IPv6 DHCP leases last I checked, let me re-enable it and see if they are distributing addresses again

#

NetworkQuality is probably not going to fix a timeout error

elfin ore
grim mica
#

Honestly dont know, pretty odd that most of the ini files are missing as I thought the server auto generated them. In any case I believe that is the correct spot to put the NetworkQuality parameter

elfin ore
grim mica
#

Yeah ISP still doesnt do ipv6 lol.. good ol Frontier

#

No worries my dood

grim mica
#

My cable provider does though, i can switch over to that

vast mortar
#

If you cool with that go for it but don't inconvenience yourself on my account 🙂

elfin ore
#

I expect different files because I use this method

#

steamcmd

grim mica
#

Yes I use SteamCmd as well

#

I dont have ipv6 enabled on my LAN at all and I am out of my depth with ipv6 holy hell this is confusing vs v4

vast mortar
#

Trust me my dude IPV6 is a trip to get your head around

grim mica
#

Learned about ipv6 in networking classes and tit was always "oh its the future, we will be switching to this in a few years at most"

#

20 years later and we never deploy ipv6 networks still

vast mortar
#

Odd now I run the server with -DisablePacketRouting not multihome i can run the server but it crashes as soon as i try to join:

Thats a new one.. hmm

#

You might be a little screwed by multihome/packetrouting and having to use ipv6 honestly

#

I dont know that ive seen others here using ipv6 over WAN before honestly

vast mortar
#

Maybe, Whenever my friend is available I'll do some testing and report back.

grim mica
#

Finally got an IPv6 address set on the firewall with DHCP and have an IP in that space on my machine.. wee learning

earnest socket
#

What that mean? And how fix it?

image.png
grim mica
#

Are you not able to join or? Doesnt seem that its causing a crash or disconnect but would need to see the rest of the logs

vast mortar
#

Well I'm back and While my server is up and running on my Local Machine my Friend still can not join using my Public IPv6 and any of the Ports set up

grim mica
#

You might have to look into a VPN-type connection where you can use IPv4 to connect with the multihome or disablepacketrouting

#

I dont think there has been alot of experience with troubleshooting around here with ipv6

vast mortar
#

Well, we've got even more tomfoolery afoot...
So using my "Private" Permanently Set global v6 address the game is un-joinable (which is what i use for other things without issue)

However after running out of answers in my brain i gave my friend my current dynamically generated global v6 address [OS's will generate random addresses with 24hr leases for improved security/privacy] rather than my Permanently set custom one... And BOOM he could join

If i was a networking veteran the reason would probably be obvious but with my current experience I'm completely stumped

#

Side Note: Multiple IPv6 addresses can be assigned to a single adapter unlike IPv4

I made an Address reservation but is this what its meant to look like for a DCHP thing, am I even meant to have a DCHP thing? and the second image is what should be my "port forward" is that right? does anyone have a specific link for an archer router?

#

Yes, you need DHCP. DHCP is how IP addresses are issued to devices on your LAN. Your router receives a request to join the network from a given MAC address, then issues that computer an IP.

#

Your port forward looks fine

I meant fine as in I don't see any issues with the port forward listed, but I guess the question was probably contextual to hosting huh 😂

deep turret
#

there are no other contextual information to evaluate it other than it being for satisfactory

#

and satisfactory only use UDP

I understand 🙂 I am just dumb

others cannot connect to my server for some reason.

its fine in a local network, but for some reason cannot be accessed from outside.

i made to portforward rules for my server, and even disabled the fire wall.

and tested the ports, they work totally fine.

-- EDIT --

not sure if this information is important.

but I know that others can access the server, because im hosting other games at the same time as well and they dont have any problem.

glad nest
vernal magnet
glad nest
#

well only thing i suspect then is port forwarding tbh

#

or that you are specifying some different ports than what is normally used or something like that

vernal magnet
#

should send some screen shot of the open ports ?

glad nest
#

can you send your start query

#

that you use to start the server

#

also do you have ipv6?

vernal magnet
#

nope i disabled it completely, just as an extra measure .

#

yeah if I usee emy wan IP adress it conneects fine.
my friends tho, cant connect using it, or the domain name.

glad nest
#

do your friends have mods installed, correct version?

vernal magnet
vernal magnet
glad nest
#

yes the script

vernal magnet
# 
screen -dmS $ScreenName ./FactoryServer.sh -DisablePacketRouting -unattended  -multihome=0.0.0.0
#

would like to also note, that those options also did not have an effect, on weather i or my frieneds can connect.

glad nest
#

i do believe your problem is with your -multihome

#

put it before -unattended

#

anything after -unattended is getting ignored

vernal magnet
#

those are my forward rules just in case.

image.png
glad nest
#

you don't really need to forward tcp for said ports

vernal magnet
vernal magnet
vernal magnet
#

yeah it seems like its not working

#

verified filese for my friend , and still could connecet to the server

#

oh i see i think i found a problem, seems like my prots are still closed so that is the problem.

glad nest
#

sounds like a big issue yes

vernal magnet
#

well, i foundout that the router refuses to let traffic in for new ports, but is fine with old ports.
sadly that meeans that my mineecraft server is down now.
its an ISP thing for now.
so gonna havee to deal with theeir crap.

#

well, maybe i can fix it with some sub domain and ngnix magic.

vale parrot
# vernal magnet those are my forward rules just in case.

You haven't specified the External port number, so no ports will be opened.
Copy the internal to the external and try again.

A port forward takes an incoming packet on an External port and directs it to an Internal port. If you skip the external, it doesnt know what to forward.

Also @vernal magnet, if you have a firewall make sure to allow those ports too, else its still closed

vernal magnet
#

yeeah i noticed and fixeed that issue, but it still refuses to connect, and when i test the ports they all timeout.

#

i made sure firewall is disabled just to test it.

vale parrot
#

Well, to find out if its the router or the computer your server is running, can you connect to it from your internal network? So, from a different machine than where the server is running?

vernal magnet
#

yeah i can connect and play fine on lan, but it seems like my router just refuses to open some ports.

#

it's mostly my ISP
the ports 15777 / 15000 / 7777
always time out.

#

i also tried other ports just to test things, and i got the same problem.

#

i'll try other things later, and if i do find a problem i'll let you know.
but for now this issue got me very frustrated XD.
thanx for ur time guys.

anyone know why it keeps disconnecting players but not crashing

could be any number of reasons. Network congestion, server host throttling, unstable Internet connections for the players.

i see

#

can i disable the beacon ports?

thorny shore

why would you do that?

#

disabling those ports won't make the connection any more stable.

DO i need them?

its changing the port afaik inside the console to a range i didnt open

an external port is just a common way to decide on how to communicate outside of the host system.

could because of the timeout limit.
but i had that same problem cuz its trying to use ipv6 ?

oh wow

chilly jackal

I am having this issue on the dedicated side only, but not on the self-hosted side, so I am guessing timeout as well

not that I'm aware. I self-host a dedi on Windows and have 0 problems with it trying to use ipv6.

for science if nothing else 🤷‍♂️

I spun up a Linux VM real quick and sure enough, had to specify -multihome

hmm, I am unsure how to change this through unraid

Client Hypver-V is still available for Win 10 Pro. Not sure what's available on Windows 11.

Which is why I purposefully disabled the TPM module on my motherboard through the bios. Now Windows won't force the upgrade. Suckers.

chilly jackal
#

gotttemmm

#

it worked fine on my laptop, but then I tried on my main, with 3 monitors, nothing but display issues lol

#

so for the -multihome command, where would I inject this?

#

may as well try it before spinning up a Win VM

thorny shore
#

just include it in your list of arguments per normal

chilly jackal
#

damn, was already there

#

and issue persists

thorny shore
#

try using the actual ip address of the interface. I didn't test with 0.0.0.0 though some swear by it. I don't see how binding the ip to what is a null value is useful if multihome actually does what it says
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Starting_the_server

Bind the server process to a specific IP address rather than all available interfaces

grim mica
#

The main point of multihome is that it also disables packet routing

#

0.0.0.0 is not null, it's a definition for all/any so it will bind to all if you don't put a specific IP in. If you only have one nic in the box, it doesn't really matter either way

chilly jackal
#

ok, swapping to my no-ip add worked for it

#

thank you for the ideas, been going mad

#

I would assume the actual IP would do just fine, but its remote at a buddies house and I am too lazy to dig it up

grim mica
#

You mean dynamic DNS? No-ip? DNS just takes a name and gives you an IP, the client will resolve DNS if you put a name in, so it's the same as using an IP just easier for human to remember

chilly jackal
#

yes, exactly

#

it was a very simple fix, and now I feel like a fool for not even checking this before lol

Right and specifying multihome also applies disablepacketrouting, my point was you can disable packet routing and that will probably fix the ipv4/ipv6 issue as well, multihome is intended to be used when you need to bind a specific NIC to the listen port when a machine has multiple

We had an issue getting through router firewalls. Turns out there were 2 places in the router firewall settings that needed to be setup. There's a general rules location, and a NAT rules location. Check to make sure both places are setup to the 15777, 15000, and 7777 (or whatever you've set them to)

Last question then ill stop annoying people about port forwarding. The first image presents my attempt at port forwarding. I used my IPv4 Address to open the dedicated server And last image is my result. I have already done the DCHP thing I simply dont understand whats wrong

The 15777 is for the port of the server by default. So saying all of them doesn't help though yes you need them port forwarded to use.

should be IP:15777 unless you use custom port
