That's news to me

Oh wow huh zero trust does udp

Neat

[visual mirage]

Nginx proxy handles udp also under modules-enabled area

stream {

#SERVER 1 -----------------------

   upstream satisfactory1-1 {
      server redact:15777;
   }
   upstream satisfactory1-2 {
      server redact:15000;
   }
   upstream satisfactory1-3 {
      server redact:7777;
   }
   server {
      listen 15777 udp reuseport;
      proxy_pass satisfactory1-1;
   }
   server {
      listen 15000 udp reuseport;
      proxy_pass satisfactory1-2;
   }
   server {
      listen 7777 udp reuseport;
      proxy_pass satisfactory1-3;
   }

I will spend a week making something free and open-source work rather than spend $1 lol

[thorny dew]

I mean, there's already plenty of solutions that are free though

Zerotier is just nice because it's got fancy networking features that are manageable from the web panel

Tailscale is nicer because UI isn't garbage

Oracle OCI free tier is great too, but does require a bit more manual labor than both TS or ZT

Though it's also useable for other things, not just networking

[visual mirage]

cloudflare would probably be the most straightforward approach

[thorny dew]

Just depends on what you need. If you just need your service accessible through (CG)NAT, then yeah CF zero trust is the best

[visual mirage]

sounds more like he's behind a home router he doesnt have access to

[thorny dew]

TS also does that if you're more inclined to use their stuff

[visual mirage]

we could teach him to hack it lol

[thorny dew]

Well he's in a shared env

Wouldn't really suggest hacking it in the off chance that they get caught

Getting kicked out of your living space is not fun, especially as a student

And even then, setting up cloudflared is a lot easier anyways

[deep turret]

and what exactly are you thinking to achieve with this kind of thing ?

I'm jaded at all the people thinking everything is http

[dusty vortex]

nginx is able to handle both tcp and udp, but also a number of different protocols, and can be used as a proxy and even a load balancer/failover for certain applications.

In this case i guess it could be used on a lightweight shell as a remote proxy that could have a vpn link established to the game server that is behind a CGNAT, thus allowing remote players to connect to the nginx proxy instead without needing to mess about with any vpn's etc.
its just effectively moving the endpoint, pretty much what cloud flare offer as a service, but as a possibly cheaper DIY version.

[deep turret]

tcp and udp and http are all different

whats often refered as "reverse proxy" is only http side

tcp is as "tunneling"
and udp is not part of it

udp could be named "piping" I guess

nginx strength lie in http handling
its flexibility in pure tls/tcp handling too
udp is a tool

it does not do magic

[dusty vortex]

im aware they are different.
ngix can handle more than http packets over tcp tho.
like RTSP/RTMP (which are also TCP based), or for emails like IMAP, POP3,SMTP.
i was just trying to express that nginx is a fairly versatile proxy

[deep turret]

to make things simple, nginx is doing this :
---> nginx ----> server
for going through cgnat or the like you want this :
<------ tool -----> server

[deep turret]

but it only is a proxy, not a vpn

[dusty vortex]

yes indeed (not sure where it was implied that nginx acted as a vpn) , but yes i agree.

[deep turret]

it was implied here ^

I'm not saying nginx is not useful

in fact if I'm warning that much about it is because I work extensively with it

it's just not the right tool here

[dusty vortex]

for the proxy to be useful a separate vpn between the gaming server and server hosting nginx would be required, otherwise where would nginx proxy the traffic to O.o

[deep turret]

exactly, and then you endup noticing that once you have the vpn, you do not need nginx anymore

because there is no problem in relaying, there is only problem in connection

nginx on the like becomes very useful when there is multiple layer work at play, and you need dynamic/balancing/routing (with higher protocol)
so :

• tls/tcp interactions
• tcp/http interactions
• tls/http interactions
• tls/(smtp,imap,pop,rtmps)
• http internal routing

the udp stream part is basically nginx devs being like :

• we do manage udp
• we do manage piping
• why not just give udp piping feature for free

it can be useful on host that have sotware with no configurable ports
so you just manage ip:ports matching in nginx pipe streams
or relaying to internal network dynamic part (nginx is ALREADY in internal network), not seen by external network

but it does not create tunnel stricto sensu

I'm afraid of spaming this channel to be honest
but I dont want anyone to fool themselves with nginx features and use

you can see nginx as a gateway

[barren beacon]

Where do I find the log for the steamgui dedicated server?

keeps crasgubg

I sure spelled that right

crashing*

[ornate grotto]

FactoryGame\Saved\Config\CrashReportClient

[stoic elbow]

question on specific points on my map when i walk to this point my game crashed every time
anybody knows why?

[deep turret]

did you explorer the map otherwise ?
It does not crash when you explorer further in other directions ?

[stoic elbow]

i have explore the map weeks ago
inside my factory is the crash point

[deep turret]

then maybe you can try download and load the save on local game, then re save, then reupload it to server
sometimes it fix problems

or wait update 1.0

[trim tree]

Where does Satisfactory store the Server Save file? (Linux/steamCMD)

A friend of mine is unable to locate it :(

[deep turret]

~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames
its on the wiki

[trim tree]

he found it now thanks

he forgot to show his hidden folders 🤦‍♂️

[tidal wren]

i need help setting up my server

its on my own VPS System

[ornate grotto]

Have you checked the instructions in the Wiki that is linked in the channel description?

[native jay]

It's been a while since I hosted a server on satisfactory. How well do they run now? (I swear there was an update on them a while back).

[steel osprey]

Bad as hell. still Not optimized

better wait for 1.0, since nothing get fixed until 1.0

[native jay]

lol thank you for responding

[crystal valve]

hi, where is the INI file i need to unlock more then 4 player mode.

because its NOT in appdata! ive looked.

path doesnt exist, file not found.

halp

[desert walrus]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#How_can_I_have_more_than_four_players_in_my_server?

That's not the official wiki

[crystal valve]

alo incorrect

there is no game.ini

[desert walrus]

You are incorrect

[crystal valve]

am i

am i really?

are you sure about that

[desert walrus]

To be completely honest, you're not worth helping
Good luck with your issue 👍

[crystal valve]

im just fking frustraited, ive seen these guides for days

the file and pathing ISNT HERE

and just flicking me a page saying "oi mupet, wrong guide" is really agrivating.

[desert walrus]

Have you generated a save and gracefully shut down the server?

[crystal valve]

yes, players are in save / game as we speak.

its been up and down a few times now

server is running ATM as i reserch

[desert walrus]

What directory are you looking in?

[crystal valve]

clarafacation. you mean the appdata tree? or the steam tree?

2 diferent paths.

[desert walrus]

The correct location should be .\steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryGame\Saved\Config, which isn't where you were looking

[crystal valve]

DS was installed through steamCMD,

root path to server is

C:\gameservers\satisfactoryserver\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer

.
for referance, "factoryserver.exe" is at

C:\gameservers\satisfactoryserver

[desert walrus]

And there are no configs there?

[crystal valve]

in "saved config" no, onlu ini is in windows server.

engine.ini

[desert walrus]

And what's the problem with that?

[crystal valve]

i also added the MP code to it, did nothing

[crystal valve]

what do you mean?

im happy to stream screen to show you in a VC?

[desert walrus]

Oh wait, you're looking for playercount lol

[crystal valve]

yeah

need to unloakc my 4 cap

says i need game.ini... and its just, non-existent

[crystal valve]

any ideas?

[desert walrus]

Yeah, sorry
Jumping around a lot atm

[crystal valve]

sorry 😦

[desert walrus]

So you've actually executed some graceful shutdowns with the quit command?

[crystal valve]

commands? 0.o

i cant input commands. its just a CMD window, i can only CTRL-C this to close it down.

[desert walrus]

You need to do that through the ingame server manager

If you haven't done so, that's why

It doesn't actually create configs until you do that for the first time

[crystal valve]

o.O

hold please.

ok i did quit, now the CMD is frozen on "preparing to exit"

[desert walrus]

Did you set those configs to read only?

[crystal valve]

??? i set nothing to read only

[desert walrus]

Huh, okay

Weird

Still not shutting down?

[crystal valve]

it seams to be frozen? its using no cpu, but holding 1.6gb of ram

[desert walrus]

Might be worth shutting it down the same way you have been, then relaunching it and attempting to use the quit command again

[crystal valve]

kk

reloaded. waiting for ti to start

[desert walrus]

btw, you can just use ctr+c in the window displaying the logs in the future iirc

[crystal valve]

ok, its gone to "preping for exit" again.

[desert walrus]

I guess your best bet is to just give it a minute

[crystal valve]

nothing.... 😦

[desert walrus]

Strange

Well, you won't be able to get any configs then lol

[crystal valve]

well i need a wya to overwire the 4 player limit

[desert walrus]

Not sure why it's not properly shutting down

Did it get far enough to properly generate those configs?

[crystal valve]

not that i can see

[desert walrus]

That's unfortuante, not sure what the issue is there

[crystal valve]

how do i launch the new GUI mode?

i saw something about that a month ago

[desert walrus]

You mean the one talked about in the video?

[crystal valve]

is this what it whould look like?

imma try manualy making the file

[crystal valve]

yes

[desert walrus]

That was talking about upcoming stuff for 1.0

[crystal valve]

kek

k

[crystal valve]

is this what the game.ini should look like?

[desert walrus]

There would normally be more items

[crystal valve]

ok imma try randomly throwing this around and see what happens

ok, this is super funny, i give the exit command, and the server is still "letting me connect to it"

its still "alive"

[desert walrus]

Did you try with the quit command or ctrl+c

[crystal valve]

yeah, it just closes the window.

ok i just spread that half a file everywhere and seeing if that sticks.

giving up for the night... if anyone has any ideas ping / reply to me so i can see it in the sea of servers 😦

[deep turret]

wdym ?
did you for once ctrl+c the console (without any command) ?

[dusty vortex]

Game.ini (it does not exist, you make it)

[zealous jacinth]

how do i get the game to recognize me as the "host" so I can change to "friends only" from private. I'm running the game on the same PC as I'm running the server and having issues

[twin salmon]

Ey folks,

Someone suggested I update to an experimental build to help with crashing, do i also need to update the server version too? and can we migrate the saves?

[ornate grotto]

You are confusing Multiplayer and Dedicated Servers. Dedicated servers have no concept of "friends only", you and your friends need to access the server through server managers via the IP Address. Also it's not recommended to run both on the same PC as dedicated server is already performance restricted on most HW and running two copies on the same machine is gonna suck.

[ornate grotto]

Experimental and EA are the same version at the moment, it makes no difference which version you run

[twin salmon]

Ahhh ok

[deep turret]

note : it may change when update will be pushed in few months though

but until you update it, it's the same

[scenic star]

is the server actually 25 gbs in size?

[ornate grotto]

My install is about 13GB

[deep turret]

it will probably get under 10GB next update

[scenic star]

that's even crazier

[south heron]

just a question i just bought a nitrado server is the server also running if no one is online?

[ornate grotto]

There is a setting in server manager to define if the server stops when the last player logs off. By default it does stop

[devout ridge]

Hey guys, I see requirements of 12GB of RAM and 25GB of disk space. I'm running a linux dedi server through a docker container. It seems to be taking 5GB of disk space, and after 70 hours of gameplay with 2 people, it's only consuming 1.8GB of RAM according to docker. I am utterly confused.

Is that.. normal? Or is Docker mis-reporting the RAM consumption? Or is it because we're beginner players and we don't have some insane map-wide factory? We're on Tier 7, but definitely no factory to write home about. The staggering difference between 12 and 2GB of RAM is weird though.

[fallen cradle]

I ma seeing the same usage on my server. I believe that it's just requirements (or recommandations), not that it actually uses that much in practice. Are you by change also running the image by LinuxGSM?

That being said, I'm running into an absurd number of bugs on the server compared to normal

[ornate grotto]

It consumes more RAM as you get further in the game, and if you and your friend split up then it also consumes more RAM.

[devout ridge]

wolveix/satisfactory-server

[ornate grotto]

Originally the game loaded everything into RAM at once, but an experimental streaming option got defaulted to on in U8 so it only uses what it needs, however you can get serious lag with vehicles and hypertube as it struggles some times

[devout ridge]

I really wonder when I'd hit 12GB though. And it lists that as a "minimum".

Got 64, so not an issue, just seems so weird to have such an insane discrepancy between minimum and actual.

[fallen cradle]

The dedicated server for Satisfactory introduces a few unique bugs to the game, where multiplayer (through joining a friend) doesn't. This application introduces save sharing with friends. It's designed to function similarly to how the game Grounded handles saves.
Thanks, that answered my question too

[ornate grotto]

Like I said, U8 made it stream/load what it needs at the time rather than all of it and the WIKI is assuming max RAM.

[devout ridge]

I see, thanks. I did hear about the streaming changes.

[ornate grotto]

There is an unsupported option kicking around in this channel to disable it again, but like everything else in Update 8, it's flaky as hell

[fallen cradle]

V1.0 hype

[ornate grotto]

Yes, we're all looking forward to v1.0 to fix all the bugs in U8

[fallen cradle]

I'm looking forward to the story as well

[deep turret]

to me, most hyped dedicated server feature for 1.0 is definetly the cleaned up networking

we will be able to experience real dedicated server talks here, instead of infinit supply of network issue people

Oh important note for wiki guys !
: do not delete old network stuff !
simply put it in archive articles
so if people want to try older versions they still can find the wiki for it

(I mean effectively moving the old networking stuff in archive article, so if people just click usual links, they either get a "do not exist/been moved" or the new network stuff instead)

[edgy fog]

so i bought a dedicated server opening all ports and everythting and it still stays server name pending no authenticated what can i do else man

hosted via gportal i read somwhere u should set the server to ipv4 but theres no settings for it im freaking out

[ornate grotto]

You need to use the command line option -DisablePacketRouting

[white crypt]

I have a dedicated server but dealing with an issue where i dont know how to increase server capacity. Im dealing with this. I did put the Game.ini with the 16 player under the saved file and the SavesGames

[low void]

I was able to set up a dedicated server yesterday, but today I set it up the same way, and nobody is able to join through steam or by connecting through server manager. The timestamp on the console doesn't match my system time and when I look at multiplayer settings > players, I see myself twice. The settings say its set to private and I cant switch it to friends only, but I read that this might not matter. I have tried a number of restarts and reinstalled the game and server tool. Not sure what is going on. Please send help

[ornate grotto]

Game.ini needs to go where the engine.ini lives

[ornate grotto]

Multiplayer and Dedicated Servers are NOT the same thing. You can only access a server instance through server manager

[low void]

ok, makes sense. When my friends try to join via server manager, they just see it as offline, but on my side it says the server is running

[ornate grotto]

You need to make sure that the three UDP ports are forwarded correctly. Check out the wiki in the channel description for more information

[low void]

ok, thank you! Appreciate the help!

[ornate grotto]

You then need to give your friends your Internet IP address, but it will only work if your Internet provider allows it

[low void]

ah, hopefully my provider does allow it

[dusty vortex]

#dedicated-servers message

[white crypt]

There is no engine.ini😂

[ornate grotto]

Then you are in the wrong folder

[white crypt]

My server have like 3 folders and have no game.ini and engine.ini idk why

[ornate grotto]

They are hidden by default

[white crypt]

I’ll try later

[white crypt]

Im using an app to access FTP on the server to modify the config and idk if I’ll be able to show hidden files

[ornate grotto]

Well you need to find the hidden folder where engine.ini is located and create game.ini as per Delphium's post above

[scenic star]

any way to download a specific version of the dedicated server?

[ornate grotto]

Officially you can only download EA or Experimental builds, which are currently both the same version

[scenic star]

unofficially though, is there any way?

[ornate grotto]

Only way I can think is to download someone else's old version, but how would you play it as you'd need to match client and server versions?

You're effectively talking about pirate binaries and I'm not going there

[scenic star]

fair enough

[scenic star]

also fair enough. two of my friends can't afford the game so we're doing what we can do

[tiny fossil]

save up a bit and snag it on sale for em maybe. 1.0 is coming out some time this year afaik. i wouldnt be surprised if a sale came with that. piracy in some cases can be morally correct, but this game in my opinion doesnt deserve it.

[scenic star]

i totally agree with you

but 15$ is already a shitlot here

and the game's price isn;t adjusted for my region, so we pay the US prices while having a currency that's thousands of times less valuable

[tiny fossil]

ah damn yeah that sucks. i understand my man. grey markets ruin it for you guys

[dusty vortex]

cough #dedicated-servers message

[white crypt]

Im just changing server provider

The server only game me almost nothing to work with

[deep turret]

you may be subscribed to a provider that limit number of player, in which case they will not let you access the configuration
hidden .config / AppData files are only 'user' configuration/data
not engine/server system ones
engine/server system config location is under the server software directory tree, as Delphium pointed

[white crypt]

Maybe even tho I bought a 30 slot server

But well I’m changing

[deep turret]

what ? and you were limited on people connecting ?
btw 30 is a lot for satisfactory

sounds scamy imo

[white crypt]

Yeah do no recommand

It was like 12 bucks for a months even the customer service taking ages

[ornate grotto]

Just because they give you a "30 slot" server, doesn't mean it can handle 30 people playing at the same time 😄

[dusty vortex]

+1, given the current performance of v0.8 personally i struggle to see any possible configuration of existing/available hardware that could make such a scenario enjoyable to play. (unless many of the 30 are doing shift work, so really only 1/3 online at any given time... which even then the server struggles with!)

[ornate grotto]

Most hardware can barely cope with 4 people

Actually, you may be 4 people on this https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/supercomputers/for-sale-cheyenne-supercomputer-with-8064-xeon-cpus-306tb-of-ddr4-memory-some-assembly-and-maintenance-required

[dusty vortex]

4? maybe 3 at a stretch knowing the core freq 😄
if only the other 100k+ cores could be used for... something, anything!

[deep turret]

sounds like worse single thread performance than on "gaming" hardware

so not even

[dusty vortex]

if there anything i can do to improve the performance of satisfactory?

yup...

(no... not mine, archive/stock photo 😄 )

[deep turret]

I know it's of-topic, but..
please people dont get fooled, these super COMPUTERs do not run on storage
unlike some may think, a computer does not need storage at all to run
and likely the only storage is in the management racks

so that 4.79 peta could run on an usb stick

[ornate grotto]

Yeah, I work for the company that made it 😉

[dusty vortex]

+1, i got a rack where some servers have 0 disks and boot from a fibre channel SAN over iSCSI too. 🫡

[ornate grotto]

I've seen them do this at one of the Insomnia Series events in the UK

The overclock was insane

[dusty vortex]

heck yer... the one thats impressed me the most, or has stuck in my mind, was when someone/a team pushed a intel P4 to over 6ghz on LN. solid memory formed in the mind 👍

[primal apex]

Hi,

I followed a few tutorials but none seems to work for me. I have a server running on proxmox:

16GB RAM

3 CPU Cores i-4590

40GB storage

Everytime i try to start my server with the ./FactoryServer.sh command i get a single error message in the log and i cant connect to the server (with portforwarding on external ip and on my internal ip). Could someone help because i cant find anthing online.

The /FactoryServer.sh file is the default one.

The error message im getting ist:

[2024.05.12-16.59.19:954][ 0]LogAkAudio: Error: FAkAudioModule::UpdateWwiseResourceLoaderSettings : No Resource Loader!

Here is the full log:

https://pastebin.com/2egxDuhL

Here is the /FactoryServer.sh file:

https://pastebin.com/YNn9R5UN

[deep turret]

anyway you never have to modify FactoryServer.sh

[deep turret]

the server shows up

what is your network setup

[primal apex]

ok had to include this

[deep turret]

include ?

[primal apex]

the command from the screenshot

[deep turret]

this does not give any more informations about what you did

if things were working then everything would be alright
if not everything is alright then we can't assume what you actually did
if you want people to help point out what's wrong, you need to give details

[primal apex]

when i start the sh file with the -multihome command it works for the internal ip

[deep turret]

like facts : "I put that here" and not only "I wrote something"

[ornate grotto]

If you are running ProxMox, make sure the CPU type is Host and not Virtualised

[primal apex]

where can i change that?

[ornate grotto]

In the VM setting within Proxmox

[deep turret]

with '0.0.0.0' ?

[primal apex]

no with the internal ip that i have for the server

[ornate grotto]

I've never used PM, but I know there are issues with the CPU virtualisasion settings

[primal apex]

ok i'll try to find the setting

[deep turret]

but the server is looking alright in the logs Gilgamoth, that's why I did not focus on the cpu setting
but it could help later

[primal apex]

should i use 0.0.0.0?

[ornate grotto]

./FactoryServer.sh -multihome=0.0.0.0

[deep turret]

if it work for the address you put in (the one you will forward to), you can keep it like that
but 0.0.0.0 is more flexible and also a bit more "failsafe" because if ip is changing it will pick whatever is there

[primal apex]

ah ok

Now i can join with the internal ip but do you know what i have to do for the external ip to work? Or could that be a problem with my portforwarding?

[ornate grotto]

You should always use your internal IP address, only your friends will be able to use the internet IP

But yes you'll need to make sure that port forwarding works for them to connect

[primal apex]

Should be working in my fritzbox

[ornate grotto]

You don't need the TCP ones, just the UDP ones

Does your ISP allow you to host? Some use GlobalNAT which doesn't allow you to host servers on your IP address

[primal apex]

Yes i already hostet an ark and a minecraft server with no problems

[ornate grotto]

Okay, so if your router is configured correctly, is there a local firewall on your server machine?

[primal apex]

no

[ornate grotto]

Check the Wiki for help making sure that the server is running correctly then

[primal apex]

ok

[ornate grotto]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Is_the_server_actually_running?

[primal apex]

but thanks for the cpu tip

[ornate grotto]

Having said that, if you can connect to it locally, then it must be running and it HAS to be something with either the local FW or your router

[primal apex]

When i type this command no ports show up. Could that be the error? The wiki says that the udp ports 15000, 15777 ans 7777 should be listed there

[ornate grotto]

Try ss -plnu | grep Un I think the engine name changed

[primal apex]

still nothing popping up

i cant find the ports even without the filter

[ornate grotto]

And the server is deffo running?

Sorry Linux isn't my specialism

[primal apex]

yes i can join and play on it via internal ip

ok np 🙂

[ornate grotto]

Only thing I can think is that you don't have correct privileges

for ss that is

[primal apex]

its an admin user

i can see all the other ports

just not the ports that the server needs

[deep turret]

do you execute the command as root ?

the full command from any user would be sudo ss -plnu | grep Un

[deep turret]

yep

(if you think I'm abusing ping replies please tell me)

[ornate grotto]

No worries 🙂

[primal apex]

Ok now i can see them

[late sapphire]

Hey all, would like to get a dedicated server going with three people. How is the state of dedicated servers these days? Is there people playable? Is progression tied together?

Always played single player and haven't played in awhile so was hoping to get some current feedback as it's hard to find online

[deep turret]

the progress of the game is .. tied to the game
the game is defined as the state of the world map you build into
there is only one HUB
one save
a dedicated server run one of them at a time
multiple people will simply build into it and modify it simultaneously

you can move your saves from one pc to the other
work on it locally then run it back on the dedicated server

one save, one world, one progress

[deep turret]

for state : still experimental
a bit broken
enough to be extremely annoying sometimes
at the very least hard to setup
my advice as other people's advice : wait update 1.0

[hollow verge]

I run a local server for my wife, brother, and I. At times I go in to manually save the game, many times the Manage Saves list from Server Manger will be empty and I'll need to exit to desktop, restart, and join the server again before the Manage Saves list is populated. I've noticed in the log output that it's saying my Unique ID is invalid. Is there any way to prevent this?

[willow quarry]

So, anyone around that can help me figure out how to change my server setting from Private to Friends Only? I am trying to run a dedicated server from my own computer and have 3 people try to connect to it but they can't locate the server even with the IP address

I've set up the port fowarding for 15777, 15000 and 7777

[deep turret]

there is no such thing as private or friend only for server
it is server, end of story
you manage access with ip port and password

[deep turret]

what do you mean exactly by "they can't locate the server" ?

[willow quarry]

yeah they couldn't even locate it at all even with the address

They would put the address and the port in the server settings information and it would never show up for them

It just shows that it is offline and never shows a name

[deep turret]

how did you check what address to give them ?

did you double check the port forwarding rules points to the server machine ?

[willow quarry]

I gave them my IP address, but for one person we tried connecting to my computer since he is on the local network

[deep turret]

and it connected ?

[willow quarry]

Yeah I am 192.168.1.3, and I am port fowarding to my computer

I am connected to it right now

and can change the server settings as admin via satisfactory Server Manager

However, the second person can not connect to it

[deep turret]

you said you tried on local network
but did not say what happened

[willow quarry]

it says that I am offline

[deep turret]

please be specific
is this a response to my last message
or is this simply the continuation of what you were saying ?

[willow quarry]

When he types in 192.168.1.3 with server port 15777 he sees Offline Server name pending Not Authenticated but can't find add password anywhere since it says in "Status Create Game Server Settings Manage Saves Console" tab field "The server appears to be offline"

And he is unable to click into any of those tabs

[deep turret]

and that's for local network try or is that for external connection try

[willow quarry]

both

[deep turret]

So even from local network it does that

then you probably missed firewall opening

(port forwarding does not matter in local network)

you can follow the powershell script in the official wiki

it's pretty fool proof once you know how to execute it

[willow quarry]

Ok heading to try that

[deep turret]

there are a lot firewall settings that you may setup incorrectly
script is going straight to what is needed

(btw that's why admin loves command line, it's actually less error prone and straight to the point)

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

Hey yall, I want to setup a dedicated server and was debating getting a rpi 5b or orange pi 5+ to run it on. Is this a terrible idea?

[desert walrus]

Yes

See https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Requirements

[white crypt]

what is the best server host for 4+ player?

[whole dome]

Depends ™️

[white crypt]

like?

[deep turret]

not even near performant enough to run the server
this is a sim game, it's not like simple few player position relaying thing like for fps games
the whole world runs on the server

[whole dome]

Mainly how big/conplicated the save is.. a small save can run on most that fit the minimum requirements but it may struggle later in the game

[white crypt]

then how about best server host for big save

[whole dome]

I don’t know much about rented game servers - I bought a cheap-ish minipc on AliExpress and host mine at home

[white crypt]

Oh I see

[ornate grotto]

Also, in addition to SharklienX's comments, ARM isn't a supported CPU type.

[formal wren]

had an issue with my friend joining my dedicated server

i can join fine (using private ip) but my friend is getting this error
i have tried the fixes listed in a reddit post titled "please help!!!" (cant send link)

[dim hare]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/s/sMeL9f37CX

Might be relevant

[formal wren]

just says the same fixes as the other post

[dim hare]

U tried the multihome thing? It can sometimes be wonky and fixed the issue for me

[formal wren]

oh i didnt see that

oh i have multihome set to 0.0.0.0 already (must be that because of docker)

[dim hare]

Iirc that might be the problem, afaik broadcasting on all addresses is wonky on satisfactory, and since u can join with the private ip, i'd also double check ur port forwarding config

Try setting it to ur private ip, prefderably outside of docker

[formal wren]

dont think it would be the port forwarding as my friend can see the server

[dim hare]

Then its probably not that, but id still double check it all (for example maybe u accidentally only forwarded TCP)

[formal wren]

weird part is the server has worked before. had a break of a few months and now its not working

[dim hare]

Well i also only got the issue in one of the recent updates (update 7 or 8 i think)

[formal wren]

well ive had the issue before actually but i got it fixed but i forgot how lol

[ornate grotto]

You can try increasing the Network level to Ultra, or increase the timeout values

[pallid whale]

I also am running proxmox, if you're still having problems you can also just disabled IPv6 as that fixed the issue for me.

[primal apex]

Where can i disable it? In proxmox or on the virtual machine? 🙂

[pallid whale]

In the virtual machine, i can’t remember exactly the command to do it

Search it up tho^

[steep bluff]

idk if you fixed this or not. but the issue is his save is to big. the friend has to change his time out settings in the files. change it to like 120 or something right now its set to 20 secs thats why it timed out. and changing the time between saves would help also. i think standard is like 5 mins? or 15 idk

[formal wren]

its not a big save its only tier 1 still

i did try up the timeout already and it did nothing

i decided to leave it for now though and we just did player hosted instead of dedicated

[pulsar crest]

Having an issue with my dedicated server, hosted locally on my PC. The server itself starts up just fine, but when I try to connect from the game client, it gets to the FICSIT Tip grey/orange screen, then the server window closes and eventually the client says that the connection timed out. I've tried deleting the save file from SaveGames\server and copying a fresh one from the SaveGames directory, but it's still not working, not sure what else to try. It was working as recently as last night. NVM, I'm an idiot, should have tried to Verify BEFORE reaching out for help. Sorry!

[ornate grotto]

You shouldn't run the game server on the same PC as your client

[pulsar crest]

Oh dang, really? Didn't realize that. I've always run every game's dedicated server locally so that I could play with friends, and they could play if I wasn't around. Something specific with Satisfactory that I should seek out actual server hosting in this case?

[desert walrus]

Not really, just performance heavy

[ornate grotto]

Satisfactory is very intensive and currently doesn't work well when running on dedicated hardware, so running the client and server on the same machine is just asking for trouble. If you try and it works, good on ya, but it's not what it's designed for

[desert walrus]

If you know what you're doing and have solid specs it won't be an issue

[pulsar crest]

Got it, thanks for the heads up guys! ❤️

[wicked knot]

Trying to set up a dedicated server again. Just using the steam GUI install, basic stuff. On initial install, it runs great. I logged in, named it, loaded my save file. Everything worked as expected. On rebooting the server, and trying to start the software again, it just exits about 10-15 sec after "start" I have it on an i5 4690 w/ 32GB RAM

[desert walrus]

That's super odd

[wicked knot]

agreed

[ornate grotto]

Welcome to Dedicated Servers 101. Sometimes 💩 just doesn't work 😜

[wicked knot]

And sometimes it does. Rebooted the machine again, software runs as expected 🤷

[pallid whale]

I've had decent experience with Dedicated server so far, the only 2 things that are really scuffed is the vehicles and hypertubes, everything else works like it would on a normal sp world

[unborn sandal]

does this support ipv6 as well? i'd like to set up a dedicated server for me and some friends and ipv6 would work best for my current situation

nevermind, asked after only 10 mins, posted this and found it within 3, thanks!

answer is yes for those curious

honestly if more games started supporting ipv6 this wouldnt have to be an issue but most games built dont support it by default, ipv6 is meta esp because it just has more ip addresses, plus port forwarding is just less of an issue

[thorny dew]

That error is memory related. Not sure if the software is at fault here, but it's trying to access some data in memory that it doesn't have permission to use. If it's intermittent, it could be an indication that your RAM is dying

[desert walrus]

Is it?

[ornate grotto]

It works on both IPv4 and IPv6, however it has a habit listening on one and replying on the other, which is when you need to use the -multihome or -DisablePacketRouting options.

[unborn sandal]

good to know

[desert walrus]

I don't think so

[unborn sandal]

turns out my isp blocks incoming packets on ipv6 by default so i need to call them about that, its not something i can fix on my router or modem

they advertised they wouldnt block any legal use of their network so im gonna call them out on it

[deep turret]

usually there is a ipv6 firewall settings somewhere on the router

[unborn sandal]

its not my router though, i looked it up and my isp blocks ipv6 by default for whatever reason

[deep turret]

(separated from ipv4 stuff)

[unborn sandal]

its resolved

[deep turret]

oh ok nice

[unborn sandal]

gotta love not having net neutrality -_-

[desert walrus]

ipv6 has nothing to do with net neutrality unfortunately

It's really just that most isps are using outdated equipment and procedures that don't support ipv6 well or at all

[deep turret]

tbh the network infrastructure is still a bit too naive to stay neutral AND not permitting abuses naturally
not that it can't be fixed
but it's the world current habit to just reproduce whatever was done the same way, without really looking on new way of doing things better through a clean eye

[unborn sandal]

ipv6 really is the future, its just faster than ipv4 and with a lot more possible addresses

[deep turret]

the problem is probably routing
your computer know how to connect to servers
but servers will not know how to connect to you until you send them a message
the network need to register a path to your pc, so anything can then send to it

[deep turret]

the "faster" bit is a bit wrong
it's simply more flexible (but also relies more on powerful equipment)

[deep turret]

if you wonder why :
because there are a lot of different ips in ipv6
ipv6 does not really support sub-networking as easily as ipv4 does

[desert walrus]

And it's not exactly intended to work that way anyways

[deep turret]

So if your isp does not manage a lot of ipv6 prefixes
and is worldwide
then the core equipment basically needs to know every single connected device path
instead of using sub-networking routing rules

(this is defeating the very network architecture in the first place ; surprise ipv6 is far from perfect, it's also 2000s tech)

and extra care is needed to prevent spoofing

then the true network setup goes by tunneling

i.e :
ipv6 is stupid
ipv4 is too simple and limited
choose your poison

[wicked knot]

IPv4 is 32 bit, IPv6 is 64 bit. That is the real diff, and if an ISP HW can handle 64 bit

[deep turret]

ipv6 is 128bit

[unborn sandal]

i thought it was 256 bit but then i did the math and realized ipv6 doesnt have that many addresses

[wicked knot]

OK, still. it works the same, tech that was introduced in 1980

[deep turret]

prefix is 64bit then node part is 64bit again

[unborn sandal]

the isp im switching to should, they came out in like 2015 and literally only have fiber lines, we switch in around a month

[deep turret]

it does not work the same network wise

[wicked knot]

It will still need some sub-netting, and DHCP. Modern homes can have dozens if not more than a hundred networked "devices" (PCs, TVs, Appliances, lights, cameras, etc)

[deep turret]

it does not need sub net at all regarding numbers
ipv6 simply work by adding prefixs instead

Also ipv6 mainly uses RA instead of DHCP

[thorny dew]

The error is Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x000002010000000f

[desert walrus]

yes, and that is a generic error that doesn't really mean anything

[thorny dew]

An access violation trying to read a mem address

It's a generic error when reading from memory

[desert walrus]

The game could have failed to read from that memory address for any number of reasons, including if it doesn't have access to it

If you check any satis crash report you'll always see it somewhere, and it's a red herring

[thorny dew]

Eh fair enough

Just trying to point to a potential lead

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[marble moat]

can i join maybe ?

no idk anything about server stuff

i just want to play with someone

with the server if so i don't know how to help

[wicked knot]

there is a special channel in the server to find people to play with. Pestering someone in open chat is just poor form

[marble moat]

yes ik i have ask lots of poeple and i have got nothing from them

[nocturne meteor]

Hello, on my Linux server, the Dedicated server run very well insite my local network, but i cannot access it from the internet, despite of the port forwarding. The ports 7777, 15000 and 15777 are redirected as shown on the capture, they are listening on the server, but i still have the same error message. Any idea please?

[ornate grotto]

Are you using the -multihome or -DisablePacketRouting options from the wiki?

[vestal jasper]

thx, after -DisablePacketRouting it works

[cunning shore]

Does anyone have any idea why I can't access the server? If I open any other port of another service (for example 3000 of an API that I develop), the port appears as open after the service starts, but for some reason only the Satisfactory server does not work. (Even minecraft works)

[deep turret]

you "port testing" thing is useless

1. any decent protection makes that kind of tool much useless unless you know the app protocol behind it
2. satisfactory server uses UDP ports not TCP, only TCP support that kind of testing in a bit standard way
3. there is no such test for UDP, as it uses no explicit connection (so called "connection less" (even if it's not really true)

[cunning shore]

Thank you very much, I didn't know this information, I'm thinking that I can't establish a connection with my external IP myself, I'll ask a friend to try to connect.

[deep turret]

I don't know if it's still like that, but port testing on the running server would crash it in my experience (so restart the server before trying to really connect from the game)

[crisp quest]

Hey guys, i just got a dedicated server on G-portal, but one of my friends cannot connect

[gaunt edge]

We are attempting a MP speed run and alot of us keep getting this error anyone have any idea?

[deep turret]

usually people want to share the error while hiding ids

you just shared the id and cropped the error

[drowsy meteor]

I last played nov 2023 with a dedicated server and had it running. I tried to launch today and got version mismatch. I updated steamcmd and then satisfactory and now it hangs on

"LogEOSSDK: LogEOS: ScheduleNextSDKConfigDataUpdate - Time: 2.448210, Update Interval: 343.624390"

I tried several updates and then a fresh install but I still get same issue. Any Ideas?

[deep turret]

that's not a hang

that's literally just the server running

[drowsy meteor]

It doesn't appear on the server menu

[deep turret]

probably because you didn't update adress informations

did you check the server address ?

[drowsy meteor]

It was not connecting before after i was updating but i just got it after a client restart, sorry to waste your time, thanks for the quick reply!

[deep turret]

no problem
as you said that was quick

thank you for listening and checking

[drowsy meteor]

I had a connection for a second but was configuring admin access and it went offline so that must have been whats happening to think it was hanging since the cmd is not doing anything like my older one was, if i remember correctly.

[marble moat]

how do i see my ping in server / what button is it

[nocturne meteor]

@ornate grotto Yes : ExecStart=/home/user/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryServer.sh -ServerQueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000 -Port=7777 -log -unattended -multihome=0.0.0.0

[nocturne meteor]

Work at least! But the only way is to open a lot of other ports.

[deep turret]

configuring admin access ?

[white crypt]

Im looking for a good rent server host for a game but I don’t know what would be best we are more then 4 player most of the time and we build huge factories so I’m looking for a server host that can provide a good quality from beginning to end game

[dark slate]

Why does Satisfactory servers use UDP over TCP?

[wicked knot]

I think it was just a faster route in early dev. They will use at least some TCP in 1.0
#announcements message

[dusty vortex]

Many of us self host.
Those that have hosted have suggested that 'indifferent broccoli' has worked well for them.
Note that v0.8 is experimental and is known to have a number of performance/stability issues. (Which may impact your experience at no fault to the host).
If you can, it may be advisable to wait for 1.0.

[hollow verge]

I run a dedicated server on my PC for my wife and I. When I go to Manage Saves to save the game, 80% of the time, the list will be empty and there is nothing I can do to populate it. I need to fully exit the game, restart, and rejoin the server for the Manage Saves list to be populated and I can save our game. Pretty annoying. Does this sound familiar, is this a known issue?

I'm using steam

[onyx saddle]

Does anyone know why my server hangs indefinitely on SIGTERM?

[timber prawn]

Does Satisfactory need to be on a dedicated server to run? When I enter the IP and port into the server manager it says its offline even though I'm seeing online in console.

[deep turret]

check your network setup
between server machine and client machine
if you are local network use local address
if you are on same machine you can even use 'localhost' as address

[timber prawn]

I am using shared hosting so nothing local.

[sick granite]

hey hey!

someone can help me with setting up a own server under linux?

steamapp installed, ping is shown but i get a network error

most likly something with ports?!

forwarded 15777, 15000 and 7777 TCP and UDP. some tips?

[deep turret]

you do not have to forward TCP you can forward only udp

[deep turret]

then check server's firewall settings maybe

[warm linden]

is having 60 tick rate worth it?

i feel like ever since i swapped to 60, i crash alot more. and i dont really see too much performance increase for belts and vehicles

im using Indifferent broc

and while im here, ive tried to change auto save interval through console, ofc it doesnt work, so i changed ini files on the server file manager. but still the auto save happens every 5 minutes

[deep turret]

you probably miss typed or miss placed it then

[warm linden]

is this right for adjusting tick rate?

my real question is if its worth it at all

[ivory pond]

yes

[warm linden]

what do you think the reason for my increased crashes after implementing?

[ivory pond]

it's similar to overclocking try stepping it down bits at a time

[warm linden]

do i need to change my own local ini?

[ivory pond]

try 55 or 65

[ivory pond]

don't think so

might be tick rates

[warm linden]

i use indifferent broccoli

[ivory pond]

try different ones

honestly

just tinker

change things bit by bits

[warm linden]

tinker away i shall

[ivory pond]

good luck with it all

I'd recommend small steps

it's a pain in the ass but it works

try 55 then 65 if lower is better keep bringing it down bit by bit until you find that sweetspot

[onyx saddle]

Soo any idea why I can't save at all? The first attempt fails silently then subsequent ones with "Failed to save game, game has a invalid filename"
This has cost us 3*2 hours of gameplay at this point

[dusty vortex]

Not heard or seen of such error here before.
It may be worth checking that the user/service has write permissions to the save folder.
(Not something I've had issues with before but may be worth checking).

Next possibility I could think of is if there might be 'special' chars in the name like umlauts, that might cause issues with file names.

[onyx saddle]

1. Permissions were indeed wrong, but fixing them didn't seem to do much?
2. There are special characters in the session name or whatever it's called but not in the file im trying to save to

Is there any way I can rename that

nop, even if the session name is nothing special, it still doesn't create a save

lovely

[deep turret]

I was mostly talking about the save interval time settings

that's how you set it

that example show 15min interval auto saves with 7 back-up tail

[steep bluff]

ive changed mine to match the autosave intervals. but it still saves every 5 mins. ive got it set to 1800

[/Script/FactoryGame.FGGameUserSettings]
mIntValues=()
mFloatValues=(("FG.AutosaveInterval", 1800.000000))

[warm linden]

same issue

restart server and make sure ini are saved

[stoic elbow]

i have a problem on my server

after i join i have 2 or 3 minutes playtime and than i'm crashing

and it is non stopping i have restart my server today like 50 times and crashing will not stopping

I had some problems selecting the milestones the other day on a multiplayer server
So I dismantled the hub and retried multiple times, and even made a new save and am still unable to select a milstone. Why is this happening

[pliant mist]

Have they said they will fix the map bug with dedicated server? It's annoying having to relog while exploring.

[civic lantern]

They have said they’ll fix all the bugs. Except the ones they don’t. They’ll probably prioritize vehicles which are very buggy. What is the map bug?

[frosty gale]

Why are the tunnels you can use to move around sometimes so buggy?

[ornate grotto]

Probably with the way the server loads data from disk. TBF it's all buggy at the moment

[frosty gale]

okay

[ornate grotto]

They changed the way servers worked in update 8, from having everything loaded in memory, to only loading as you come into range. There is an experimental streaming setting you can enable to go back to the old way, but DS were truely broken with U8 and all we can hope for is v1.0 will (eventually) fix everything

[deep turret]

I mean we can't hope it will fix everything
but most big problems yes

servers support modding i mean many mods has a server version

for llinux and windows

and other mods still work only the sf+ says that there is missing a file

So I created a dedicated server for Satisfactory and I am wanting to add blueprints to it. However, I have checked the file paths online for where the file should be (FactoryGame > Saved > .....) and there is only a config and logs folder. So I am obviously doing something wrong. It is a debian server, the server runs fine, and I added the save from my local computer through the manager. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have gotten the blueprints to work on singleplayer

Hi, I have a simple question, I am setting up a server on a program called Multicraft, which yes, is for running Minecarft servers but I use it for all kinds of steamcmd servers, and works flawlessly, the problem I have is the save files, because of Multicraft, the savefiles do not appear in the Local Appdata folder of my Windows server, and I cannot find them, I have a backup, so I do not need to find them, but I would like to configure satisfactory to save the savefiles on the game folder so I can find them in the future. Is there a way to do it?

[leaden aspen]

I imagine the reason that I can not find it is because I didnt transfer the world by changing the file location when first starting it instead of adding it through the provided GUI

[queen bear]

Well i did not get an answer, but i managed to find the save files in C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server
Just in case it helps someone in the future

[uncut canopy]

not sure if someone already said something before about this or there is already a solution, but I am having difficulties seeing a Nitrado server that is online and Satisfactory is saying that "server appears to be offline" and not authenticated. Is anyone able to help me on this?

[quasi dune]

Any recommendations for dedicated servers in Australia?

[thin nova]

Probably only Nitrado Support can.

[rancid ether]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=dedicated+servers+commands

[uncut canopy]

yeahhh they told me to come here haha

[cunning nymph]

hi, my server doesnt want to load anymore

its stuck here:

im guessing it has to do something with my save files or rather something with "schedulenextsdkconfigdataupdate"

[thin nova]

do you pay us or do you pay nitrado? 😄

if it does not work, they have to fix it

[mild thunder]

@uncut canopy I use a Nitrado server, when i was first connecting to it, i had some issues, i was just using the wrong port.

[uncut canopy]

I tried using both ports the game port and query but neither worked. Did you have another one you used?

[mild thunder]

Query port, is the one i think that worked for me

@uncut canopy when it lists it in Nitrado, it lists the IP and the game port on one line, so make sure to only put the info before the : into the address field in Satisfactory

[cyan frost]

Anyone recommend the best dedicated server manager tool?

[wicked knot]

The one built into the client UI seems to work OK

[half wind]

Finally delved into the dedicated server for this game. Seems to work well so far under both Windows and Linux. In fact one of the easier setups as far as these sorts of things go.

[deep turret]

no way

[wind fossil]

hey guys i could need some help

if i want to connect to my server there is the Message the Server appears to be offline.
i already tried trouble shooting but its kind of complicated

[dense vector]

Goodmorning everyone. I've been trying to get my Dedicated server running. It launches just fine with no issues, I can make changes in the in game UI no problem but when it comes to world creation the server crashes instantly. I've read a lot of people found fixes while using a VM but I'm strictly running this on a windows PC, no middle man. I was hoping someone might have some answers. I've attached my log along with this message. Thanks in advance, have a great day

[tough acorn]

I'm having a hard time figuring out why my friend can't join the dedicated server I setup on Havoc.

• It's automatically setup by Havoc
• I setup the game
• I joined the game and can play in the world
• I've tried with and without the player password
• I gave him the same IP/port I use
• He's on Steam, I'm on Epic.
• We're using Experimental clients
• I believe we have the same client versions

The symptoms are:

• He sees "Server name pending, Not Authenticated" and "The server appears to be offline" in his Server manager

[dense vector]

I figured out a work around. I uploaded a save to the server (didn't know that was possible). Save loaded no problem and connected with no issue. Hopefully others can find this and utilize this work around.

[rustic rain]

Oooooo here ok

sorry lol

discords got so confuing as a recently

ok so not sure how to pick up this conversation elegantly so ill just jump right in, anyone Exp. witch trains cose im hitting a brickwall?

i posted a pick on screenshots that show my track but my train stops at the corner and wont continue

i've never build trains in this game before so consider me a newbie and to know nothing about this topic 🙂

im n ot using BP's cose my server won't install them

playing on a venella server

[pliant mist]

What are the recommended specs for hosting a server at my house?

[tough acorn]

Anyone got a sec to test if my server is connectable?

[turbid vapor]

Getting inconsistent results from my server. I was able to connect to it from my public IP but no longer can. Can connect to it locally! All Ports are forwarded correctly. I can see the server in the menu from the public IP but it drops connection when I attempt to load in. Anyone with a similar issue?

[ornate grotto]

It might be that the next section of track isn't connected properly, try removing and reconnecting the next couple of sections that usually fixes it

[ornate grotto]

Have you tried using the -multihome or -DisablePacketRouting options? Check the wiki

[ornate grotto]

Check out the Wiki, but 16GB RAM and the fastest CPU you can get

[young root]

I have a dedicated server on my own machine that was running fine up until when i just tried to restart it, crashes a few moments after launch

[young root]

well i've discovered its running but no idea where from

[ornate grotto]

It's better to have client and server on separate machines

[young root]

oh it is

different

just cant figure out which window its running on

[ornate grotto]

Are you running it with the -log and -unattended options as per the wiki https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Windows_2 ?

[dense vapor]

is there any reason to use windows over linux for hosting a server? does the windows version have anything extra, or should i just stick to linux since thats what im more comfortable with?

[young root]

Indeed

[young root]

^

[ornate grotto]

Which ever you are more comfortable with

[dense vapor]

so they perform the same then?

[ornate grotto]

In that case it should pop up a window containing the server code

[dense vapor]

reason i ask is because trying to run a palworld server on linux was a nightmare

and they both use unreal

[young root]

yeah like it did yesterday, now its running(yes im sure im playing on it with another person) and theres no window even if I check task manager and other windows desktops(Win+Tab stuff)

[dense vapor]

so just trying to get ahead of it this time lol

[ornate grotto]

I've seem more people have problems with Linux, but they aren't always comfortable with the OS, which makes troubleshooting an issue. The configs are stored in a hidden directory

[dense vapor]

thats the fun part for me

[ornate grotto]

Are you confusing Dedicated Server and Multiplayer?

[ornate grotto]

For some 😉

[dense vapor]

final question, is it possible to transfer a multiplayer save to a dedi? not asking how, i can look that up, just wanna know if its possible before i start my research

[ornate grotto]

Yes, you can transfer saves between instances, and it's in the Wiki

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

[young root]

nope

machine running the server is LAN to me so ping 1ms

this also isnt my first time running a server on the machine, it worked just fine on the previous update a few months ago

[stark turret]

Experienced a few bugs when playing with dedicated server. Map will not update when exploring new areas, vehicle bugs, clipping below the map, losing items to the void.

[desert walrus]

Sounds normal

[spare tartan]

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble setting up a dedicated server (Linux).
When running ./FactoryServer.sh, everything starts up. When trying to connect the first time, the game recognizes that the Server is Idle and shows a ping aswell. When trying to connect, I get a TIMED OUT error. In the console of the server, it shows that a new route was opened, which I assume is expected. But even though I edited the Engine.ini to include InitialConnectTimeout=120.0 and ConnectionTimeout=120.0, the error still shows that the Threshold is 20.00. (The three standart ports are open)
Thanks in advance

[spare tartan]

For me this problem could be fixed by running the start executable as: ./FactoryServer.sh -DisablePacketRouting

[ornate grotto]

Unless your host only has IPv4 or IPv6 then you should always use wither -DisablePacketRouting or -multihome

[spare tartan]

Ah, I dindn't know that, I watched a few tutorials which didn't include this information.
But thank you for telling me that 👍

[ornate grotto]

It's only since Update 8, as it broke everything 🤣

[spare tartan]

Nice 😂

I tried to get it to run for like 4 hours or so until I found this solution since most tutorials are for previous updates

[ornate grotto]

Everything is a little harsh, the Majority of things around Dedicated Servers is more appropriate

[spare tartan]

This is the first time I set up a satisfactory server, so I dont have prior experiences with the server management for this game

[ornate grotto]

The only management available is through the client, or the ini files. Even the in client console doesn't work since update 8 🤦‍♂️

[spare tartan]

Only minecraft and such which are increadibly easy in comparison and also way easier to troubleshoot thanks to the extremly large fanbase

[spare tartan]

Yes, my problem specifically was that changes in the Engine.ini were not the appropriate solution as sometimes suggested. I found it pretty hard to find something like -DisablePacketRouting, especially considering that it seems to be needed for running most servers or atleast the ones on update 8.
Do you know why this isnt standard (I mean that it is already included in the FactoryServer.sh executable and isnt passed as an argument to disable)

[ornate grotto]

Like I said, they broke Update 8, and have decided to wait until they release 1.0 to fix the problems, so we're stuck with something that needs a lot of TLC to get to work. And by we, I mean the community as there hasn't been a mod or admin in here in months

[spare tartan]

Ah ok

[tame plinth]

Hi, has anyone had good experience with Gportal for Satisfactory?

I am planning on playing Satisfactory again, but wanted to know if it works easily with Gportal vs Nitrado.

Gportal was a bit cheaper 🙂

[wicked knot]

I'd prolly take a better ping over a better price. j/s. Either service will be limited by the software itself, which promises to get better with 1.0, but it what it is at present

[rigid shale]

Well, aside from the ping. The setup itself was painful in gportal vs nitrado.

I was able to get it working in minutes with nitrado. Gportal, was never able you get a dedicated server running

[willow frost]

there's any guide on how to set up a home server for satisfactory?

[ornate grotto]

The Wiki in the channel description has the majority of what you need, except you probably need to use the -DisablePacketRouting command line option, which is listed, but not shown as required

[willow frost]

ok ty

[ornate grotto]

Also, it's probably best to have it on it's own hardware. You may be able to get it working alongside your client, but both are very CPU intensive and they don't usually play well together on the same machine

[willow frost]

i will host on my pc and play on notebook (and my friend will play too)

[rigid shale]

I guess a better question is - has anyone gotten satisfactory to work on gportal? If so, how do you like it?

[pliant mist]

Yes, but not with mods. Gportal ftp only shows the saves and blueprints. It is making me add a dedicated server to my home server so I can play with mods.

[dry void]

Hi All,

Ive been trying for about 2 weeks to host a server using GPortal and Nitrado and after entering all the details, when i try to join i just get this message over and over.

Ive tried uploading a save to the server first to see if it wasnt generating a world and still no luck. any advice??

Nvm... Nitrado doesnt like mods

[pliant mist]

Neither does Gportal

[thin nova]

Server got an update on steam!? Any official info about this?

[ruby bridge]

Why does the server try to use IPv6 by default on Ubuntu?

[deep turret]

it uses both ipv4 and ipv6 by default, but currently mix up the 2 and crash outside connections

[ruby bridge]

That seems silly. Also had a weird issue with Proxmox where I had to set my core type to Host.

[deep turret]

it's the easy way
you can go around by using appropriate virtual machine cpu advanced settings
and I still don't know why it's not on by default

setting cpu to host basically override these hidden settings

So it fixes the problem

[viscid ore]

Steam periodically updates apps. it looks like a lot of dedicated server apps by different games were also updated. https://steamdb.info/changelist/23760255/
Likely there are no feature changes and its just something in the way the app is packaged

[rigid shale]

So if you host the game on a box at home, you can use mods.

[pliant mist]

I start the server and the script runs. The only error I see is 0]LogAkAudio: Error: FAkAudioModule::UpdateWwiseResourceLoaderSettings : No Resource Loader!

When I go ingame and add the server, it says offline. Any suggestions?

[ornate grotto]

The top line you can ignore, the second one, have you used the -DisablePacketRouting or -Multihome options from the Wiki?

[pliant mist]

I have not used them. When I run a port check, it does show 15777 running on 0.0.0.0 though

[ornate grotto]

Use -DisabledPacketRouting then. It's a known issue with Update 8

[pliant mist]

Do I run that in powershell?

[glacial raft]

Hello. I have two problems after installing my Satisfactory server. The first is the most annoying:
(I used Steam CMD to install the server on Ubuntu 22.04)

_Players who bought the game on EPIC can't connect to the server, they receive an error “[NETWORK ERROR] INVALID AUTHENTICATION TOKEN”. Players who bought the game on Steam can join the game without any problem.

_I don't know if this has any consequences, but in the logs I see that the timecode is 2 hours different from the real time (my server is at the right time (12:30) but the logs show 10:30).

[ornate grotto]

As per the WIKI, you need to change the command line from .\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended to .\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended -disablepacketrouting.

[ornate grotto]

I use SteamCMD for server and EPIC for client, that isn't an issue. How are you connecting to the server, are you using the correct admin or player password?

[glacial raft]

The error message seems random. I've managed to connect via EPIC but it doesn't always work.🤷

[ornate grotto]

Are you using the -DisablePacketRouting or -multihome option in your start up?

[glacial raft]

Yes, I also added the following parameters to my config file because without these 2 modifications it wouldn't work at all.
InitialConnectTimeout=30.0
ConnectionTimeout=60.0

[ornate grotto]

How stable is your internet connection? Have you tried upping your Network Quanlity setting to Ultra on both Client and Server?

[glacial raft]

My Internet connection is an extremely reliable and stable fiber connection.
I set the network quality to Ultra on the client side, but I didn't know I also had to do it on the server side. How do I do this?

[ornate grotto]

In GameUserSettings.ini
[/Script/FactoryGame.FGGameUserSettings] mIntValues=(("FG.NetworkQuality", 3))

[glacial raft]

Thank you!
I'll let you know if I get the token invalid error again.
For the moment it's working fine.

[small field]

Has anyone else had issue with dedicated severs that you when you spawn in you lost all all your items??

[ornate grotto]

Did you get kicked out and then rejoin with no items?

[small field]

No, just join my server, and spawned with no items

[ornate grotto]

New Save?

[small field]

No has about 200h on the save

[ornate grotto]

Can you see your old body? Try loading the save into a Map Editor and see if it's there

[wind fossil]

Hey same Problem here

but if i do zhe disablepackageRouting thing this happens and the server appears to be offline

''

[pliant mist]

I was doing a Quick and Dirty install on my computer to test mods, so I stopped. I am going to do it on a dedicated machine. If I fix that, I will let you know what I did.

[frank matrix]

The changes to the engine.ini config I do are not working for the server. I wanted to increase the max player count to 16 and increase the autosave intervall to 3600s, both changes are not working but I thing implemented the right way... Can someone help pls?

[devout salmon]

I try to setup a Server per SteamCMD but its only local, you can't connect from another network. Can someone help please?

[ornate grotto]

As per the Wiki, you seen to set up port forwarding to allow external connections to your server

[devout salmon]

@ornate grotto I opened the ports in the firewall and in my router but it still dont work

[ornate grotto]

All three ports set to UDP? If so, some ISP's block you from hosting, you could check with them

[devout salmon]

@ornate grotto how do I check this?

[wicked knot]

The tell for me was, my IP assigned to my router was different from my public IP

Most ISPs that do that have a way to tunnel to you, usually for a fee. I would need to lease a static IP to resolve mine.

[devout salmon]

Ok nvm I think I just pay for a Server but thanks.

[ornate grotto]

Contact your ISP or read the small print

[whole dome]

It’s probably CGN (carrier grade nat)

A way to save on public ip addresses

[tame plinth]

Do you guys do Satisfactory Experimental or Regular on Nitrado?

[small field]

Any ideas on what would make the server spam this in the console.. ( Linux dedicated server)

[ornate grotto]

They are the same code

[reef knoll]

Hi, i've been trying for a while to move my save from a multiplayer server to my own single player session but can only seem to find workarounds to do it the other way around. Does anyone know if its possible to take a world and save from a dedicated multiplayer server and move it to a single player session?

[pliant mist]

Yes. Just grab the save file and copy/paste it in the single player save location.

[ornate grotto]

Yes the paths are in the Wiki, but it could depend on your provider if it's hosted

[reef knoll]

it is hosted, so i guess i need to get the server save from the host?

[ornate grotto]

Yes

[reef knoll]

arite cool, thanks for the help!

[ornate grotto]

If they have an FTP connector that might be pointed at the save folder

[twilit mango]

For everyone trying to use ARM based server and failing cus the crash during building the conveyor belts, I've found the solution to be able to play.

I don't know if this will be stable but it's working.

[fallen cradle]

So uh, I got randomly disconnected after entering a hypertube cannon and now I'm not the same character anymore. Does someone have an idea what that might be?

[acoustic torrent]

hey i could really use some help, i am trying to move a save file from a dedicated server that my friend is running and i want to move it to a 3rd party host. The problem is i do not know how to copy the save file from the server my friend is hosting onto my computer so that I can upload it to the hosting service. any advice?

okay so i see above that i need to actually get the save file from the host, is there a way to do that without them since they are out of town rn?

[wicked knot]

Only if you have access to their PC, remote or otherwise.

[acoustic torrent]

damn alright thanks

[wicked knot]

When you unexpectedly drop from a server, it sometimes takes a few minutes for the server to realize you are no longer there, and wont assign "your" body to a new log in until it does

[fallen cradle]

yeah, that would explain it

bummer that all my stuff was gone

[wicked knot]

Never jump in a hypertube in MP with anything you dont want to lose. Esp not a boosted one. The speeds it sends you can outpace the chunk data

[deep turret]

which is ?

[night sparrow]

I'm not able to set this to friends only, whenever i try it just reverts back when i change menu's. Anyone got advice for this?

[desert walrus]

That setting is for normal multiplayer, it has nothing to do with dedicated server

[night sparrow]

Ah, this is a dedicated server

didn't know if it had anything to do with that, my bad

[vagrant torrent]

Hello all. Whenever I make a new save it starts at tier 2 instead of tier 0. There doesn't seem to be a setting to change this. Am I missing something?

[wicked knot]

untick "skip onboarding" at the new world page.

[vagrant torrent]

There is no option for this in the server manager

[wicked knot]

All it does is skip building out the HUB, and starts you with some of the basic parts you would have used and made going thru those introductory steps. Never made a new world on a server, but if you REALLY want that full experience, try it in solo play.

I would suspect that , since players spawn in the HUB, servers require one to exist

[vagrant torrent]

gotcha

[deep turret]

it spawns you with the stuff and hub in inventory
or it changed behavior after update 7 ?

[wicked knot]

🤷 Like I say, never started a map on a server. I just upload one of my existing saves once I have it named, admin PW

[twilit mango]

I've created it as Docker container and during run added --platform=linux/amd64, had to download the serverfiles by myself, but it works and even I've added mods. I'm not sure about the server performance, because it emulates amd64.

[warm linden]

what is the best paid service to run a save on? ive tried nitrado, but it was boo boo, so i switched to indifferent broccoli and honestly im mostly happy with the service, but lately since the save has gotten over 5mb the tick rate is averaging 15, when before it was avg 50. is this just the fate of any server right now? or is there things i can do to make it run smoother

[ornate grotto]

It's the fate of the server at the moment unless you throw lots of CPU power at it (not cores, mainly more MHz). I've given up with Dedicated Servers and hope that Snutt wasn't lying about the promises for servers in v1.0

[warm linden]

is hosting a local better if you have a decent rig?

@ornate grotto

[ornate grotto]

That depends on a lot of things. Idealy you need seperate hardware for the server, then you need to knowledge to set it up and get the networking working correctly, and finally you need an ISP that will let you host things. If the above three are all Yes, then you might be lucky and the server gods may let it work for you.

[warm linden]

may i dm with more questions?

[ornate grotto]

You are best to ask them here. There are a few of us that have managed to get it to work successfully so between us we might have the answer 🙂

By that I mean actively helping people with their issues

[undone heath]

I have a server running and run a long time satisfactory on it with no problems. Now its mostly idle. Hardware is 2x intel xeon 12 core 24 treads 2.5ghz and 32 gb ddr4 with 1ssd 128gb windows. 3 ssd raid 5 240gb server.. I had no problems with running satisfactory with 3 people..

[steel sail]

Hey everyone, I'm trying to run a dedicated server on an ARM based CPU. I know that it's not suppose to work because the game does not support it, but i also know that some people managed to make it work anyway. Anybody knows where i could find viable info or knows how to do this magic trick ?

I've tried the sa-shiro docker container, but with no success

[undone heath]

Sorry cant help. I only managed to run the server on linux(Ubuntu server) and windows

[twilit mango]

pm, i'll try to guide you

[steel sail]

I won't be able to try it again today but i'll try tomorow. Do you know if running FEX will affect other services running on my machine ? Or is it only bound to the satisfactory container ?

[twilit mango]

It shouldn't cause problems

[steel sail]

Ok great, I'll come back to you when i'm testing it then, thanks !

Ho I just remembered why it wasn't working, the satisfactory-arm64 docker image doesn't exist on Docker Hub anymore

so when docker compose try to pull it, it stops

[deep turret]

then it just means dockers emulation layer is better polished than the other emulator

but performance should be very bad I believe

[twilit mango]

So far everything is working smooth.

[deep turret]

what is your device ?
pi 5 ?

if pi 5 can run it that is cool

[twilit mango]

Oracle free tier

4core 24 GB RAM

[frosty gale]

Why my server stops after 300 secs? I want to run server for long time. When no one on server it stops after 300 secs

[hardy sleet]

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

Probably need to set that mAutoPause=False
The server process needs to be stopped while making any config edits.

Might also have been setting in the ingame server management.

Someone who has actually dealt with it might answer later.

[wicked knot]

remove the tick mark from this item

[frosty gale]

kk i try

[native monolith]

does any one have technical info on upcoming change for 1.0 like a changelog ? the annoucements contains nice infos but it is not something really useful to anticipate the upcoming release when you build your own containers ( mostly covers optimizations & stuff ). any changelog about config file, directories , ports would be greatly apreciated 🙂

[wicked knot]

They have always been sorta secretive abut updates, but this one goes beyond that. Anyone that has data to mine is under a NDA. A few of the recent vids in #announcements suggest a few things but remain vague.

[native monolith]

yeah the only technical uselful thing for building containers i've heard about in the annoucement video about dedicated server was the use of port 7777 tcp/udp

[deep turret]

they said it will be on 5.3 so the file layout will follow
what's the point of not publishing an update if you know exactly every aspect of it
-> you'll know when it will be released

[left cairn]

Hey all; I'm trying to set up a Dedicated Server using someone else's config file. I can load it fine, but when I try to authenticate with their password, nothing happens. Is this a bug, or is it because it was created by someone else?

Nvm, got it! 😄 Just remade the server file from scratch.

[copper lake]

is there some kind of secret to getting a client to connect to a dedicated server? I am continuously timing out in the server manager (before I can even read what's there)

[ornate grotto]

Try using the -DisablePacketRouting or -Multihome command line options (see Wiki for more details)

[copper lake]

I'll try them, thank you for the direction

[ornate grotto]

one or the other should suffice

[copper lake]

regarding multihome does it default to all interfaces?

[ornate grotto]

You can get away with -multihome=0.0.0.0 unless you have a specific adaptor you want it listening on

[copper lake]

that's why I asked, I was using 0.0.0.0 previously and it failed, I'll try binding just to the ethernet card

[ornate grotto]

Is the server hosted or on the same home network?

[copper lake]

it's complicated, but no, not from the perspective of the client

I connect to a remote pc that connects to a local server

the remote pc is the client

effectively the server is in the other room, all ports are appropriately forwarded, and my client behaves as if I Was someone else on the internet

[ornate grotto]

Are you connecting to the local server via the Local IP or Internet IP?

[copper lake]

-DisablePacketRouting did the trick

multihome didn't alone, but both together and I'm able to set it up

well it was anyway, now it's timing out again

and I'm connecting to the internet IP which is also the same nic that it's bound to with multihome

well no I'm connecting to the internet IP which has the nic that it's bound to as DMZ would be a more appropriate way to say that

[copper lake]

okay this is intersting, apparently it's just the server manager, I'm connected to the server, (finally) and the server is doing its thing int he background, but the server manager still won't connect

[ornate grotto]

You should use the internal IP address when local

[copper lake]

I can't my client is external

my network configuration is interesting

[ornate grotto]

Are all three ports open for UDP?

[copper lake]

yes correct

[ornate grotto]

Sounds like it's confusing the game then if you can connect to the server but not the query port

You might just have to wait until single port comes with 1.0, or make your network less "interesting" 🤣

[copper lake]

can they all be assigned to use the same port on the command line or will that screw with it and cause port in use problems

[ornate grotto]

The have to be separate ports in U8, single port is a feature of the 1.0 release

#announcements message

[brittle hill]

hi. i tried to launch dedicated server, but i have a question: where is i can get session id for connect? i search in logs server but not found

[ornate grotto]

Dedicated Servers and Multiplayer are two different things. Session ID is for Multiplayer (client to client)

You need to use Server Manager to access dedicated servers and you'll need the server IP address (and port number if it's been changed from the default)

[brittle hill]

ok. how to connect to server by ip?

[ornate grotto]

In server manager, add new or something like that. I'm at work so can't walk you through it exactly

Put the IP address of your server in there

[brittle hill]

i got it. sorry for silly questions. i thought it is like c2c. ty

[ornate grotto]

Multiplayer is C2C, Dedicated Servers are C2S (the hint is in the name!) 😜

[quaint grove]

Silly question: My goal is to run the dedicated server and 2 clients all on the same internal network. When I open the dedicated server through steam, it boots me off of the game on my client. Do I need a separate Steam account?

[ornate grotto]

Dedicated Server doesn't need a steam account. Look in the Wiki (in this channels description) for how to install via SteamCMD

[brittle hill]

is it normal? dedicated consume one core

[wicked knot]

Yes. The "factory tick" is a single thread

[coral moth]

Hello! I’m new here. There is a “wiki” to open a dedicated server?

[next gull]

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

[ornate grotto]

It's in the description of this channel 😜

[coral moth]

Thanks

How do I use the server console to send commands? I've tried using the Wiki's reference to do so, and it's not working, saying the command is not recognized.

[wicked knot]

Most commands have been stripped from the engine by the dev team. Have you tried using the client console?

!wikisearch console

[rancid ether]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=console

[left cairn]

The one in the Server Manager? Or the ~ one you linked?

[wicked knot]

The one in server admin doesnt do much. Up to now, this has never been a "feature rich" server. It was one that barely worked

[left cairn]

Fair enough. What's the easiest way to configure servers at the current moment? I think have it working properly now, but if there's a cleaner way of doing it, I'm all ears.

[wicked knot]

depends on the first steps of the route you took. Several ways to go about it, from Steam or EGS UI, or from SteamCMD. The wiki has a detailed guide to all three

!wikisearch dedicated_server

[rancid ether]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=dedicated_server

[left cairn]

I used the Windows method. 🙂

So, using CMD to use SteamCMD, or something like htat.

[wicked knot]

so SteamCMD

the wiki will walk you thru all of it, but you will need to skip around, as it covers by subject, not platform

[left cairn]

Yep; I've had it run previously, but sometimes if I turn off the server and turn it back on, it breaks and I can't reconnect. I've used the safe method of quitting, and the server seems to hang on itself when trying to quit. I've also been trying to set the player cap higher.

[wicked knot]

Player cap gets a little weird. All the clients also need to have that line in their local config files (in my experience at least). Working hard on getting mine to run again as we speak, so ....

[left cairn]

😳 Oh fun.

I was hoping there was a cleaner way of doing it. 😅

[wicked knot]

Eh, they are really bare bones in present form. They promise to show them some love with 1.0, whenever that comes

[left cairn]

This is one of the new issues I'm coming across.

[wicked knot]

lower network quality. Higher quality gives a larger buffer, but if the network isnt "ultra", the buffer cant empty as fast as it fills. Wish I had numbers to go with the various levels of that setting

[left cairn]

Is that the Network Quality setting I saw?

[wicked knot]

yes, the network quality setting is, indeed, the network quality setting

[left cairn]

I saw this example:
mIntValues=(("FG.NetworkQuality", 3), ("FG.DisableSeasonalEvents", 1))
mFloatValues=(("FG.AutosaveInterval", 900.000000))

I just have no idea what it means. 😅

[wicked knot]

you also have that setting in the client

[left cairn]

Hm.

The big issue is that it's going to be a big ask to get people to do this edit locally; the people playing will be, for the most part, not PC literate.

[wicked knot]

I mean, they may start adding niceties like that once 1.0 is out. They have had a singular focus of game content/mechanics for almost a decade. I support their method

[deep turret]

that does not need to be reflected locally, these lines emulate server commands
in client there is a network setting easily accessible

3 = Ultra

[wicked knot]

OK, so my little server refuses to start, again. Think I may have a RAM card going, but would like a second opinion.

[deep turret]

ram card ?

you mean crash ?

far from full log

[wicked knot]

It just goes this far, and dies, error reading address. I't an old machine, with 32GB of DDR3

I just posted from the error down, you want the full log?

[deep turret]

there is like 50 lines complaining about basically the same thing

what we need is the beginning of the problems

and you can't know where it starts without looking at the whole logs

[wicked knot]

Everything before the EXCEPTION seemed to be normal

The machine itself HUNG late last night, and I had to kill power to shut down. SFC found some stuff, and fixed it, and DISM came back clean. Rebooted, and still no joy

hmm, this doesnt seem right
From GUI Steam verify

[left cairn]

Got it, thanks. I did bump up my own network quality, but still had this:

[wicked knot]

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

Again, clients need the same edit, and the app cant be running when you do them

[left cairn]

Ohhh. Okay, let me knock that out, then.

[left cairn]

Yeah, having the same issue. 😦

My client is also crashing sometimes, too.

[gaunt zodiac]

So im stuck, for some reason I cant get the server to start while in steamcmd but when I look at the wiki the boot up command looks confusing for some reason

[grim mica]

You don't start the server from steamcmd, that only updates it validates steam files. Launch the actual Satisfactiry exe that steam downloaded in the proper directory

[stray loom]

Had the same problem. I checked whether the port was open in the firewall and router (in your case 15777). After I opened it in the firewall, it worked.

[stray loom]

Overall, I opened ports "15777, 7777 and 15000". Both TCP and UDP. I'm not sure if TCP has to be open but you can try it out.

[brittle hill]

udp is enough

[spice anchor]

Hi I'm having a similar issue on linux, I've tried my best to follow the wiki for SteamCMD and the dedicated server tool as well as a few other examples. i have added "InitialConnectTimeout=180.0" and "ConnectionTimeout=120.0" to both my server and client. however i still get connection timed out. i am unable to claim my server, add an admin password, etc.

i may be entirely wrong here but please bear with me: i start the server, i am unable to connect (though i can see idle, and the ping), i wait for several minutes to make sure the server is started but i am unable to connect, i type quit and wait even longer (a few hours in one case while i had a stress break) however the server will never fully quit "gracefully" and im forced to CTRL+C back to the command line, which means that my config files are not generated and i cant change my network quality to 3/Ultra

i have already set up port forwarding and no matter if i connect using the external IP or my internal IP (192.168 etc) i face the same problem, most of my testing has used the internal IP to be on the safe side

any tips? (im usually fairly good at setting up game servers and for the first time in a long while im stumped

[spice anchor]

just to add, no its not UFW and yes im certain because its disabled while i was testing

nor is it my router firewall because the game, query, and beacon ports are allowed

[ornate grotto]

Have you tried the -DisablePacketRouting option from the wiki

Also, some ISP's block ports on their end

[spice anchor]

I had heard it mentioned in passing on a reddit thread but I couldn't figure out how to use it, I'm assuming I add it on to the end of ./FactoryServer.sh

[spice anchor]

Omfg it works... head desk

WHY WAS IT THAT SIMPLE! nothing is ever that simple! I don't know if I should be happy or scream

[ornate grotto]

Everything is simple when you know the answer

[spice anchor]

i suppose so, thanks for the help. ive already seen other stuff about what to do if you crash when the server saves and other stuff like that so i should be fairly good from now on

[small field]

hmm can't seem to connect to my own server thats running on my own network... ports are open the server sees the connection by just errors with "ControlChannelClose" Server running on windows OS

[nimble sapphire]

how did you try to join? using the browser? try using the local ip to join

[small field]

Just local ip

[lone edge]

having an issue with my server

made it, ran it and it worked the first times

but

now when i launch it

I went through the common problems on the wiki but idk where to enter :Get-NetUDPEndpoint

im not a server buff so idk how to troubleshoot this

server seems to launch fine too

I'll have this chat open on my second monitor so i should be able to respond quickly should someone seek to help

ty:))

[gaunt zodiac]

I can see it running in task manger but I see no console to manage it anything

[frosty gale]

How to make server for non lan? I want to play with friends that didn't have radmin or hamachi

[gaunt zodiac]

That is solely based on public IP if you have a separate pc that you are running it on you can go online and pull up your public ip to connect to

[frosty gale]

How to get public ip?

[rancid ether]

@gaunt zodiac Your link has been removed. In order to combat spam, only whitelisted links are allowed on this server. If you think this link should be whitelisted, please let a moderator know.

[frosty gale]

ty

[gaunt zodiac]

I tried lol sorry it pulled the link

[frosty gale]

whatismyip com? right?

[gaunt zodiac]

Correct

That will give you the ip you need for them to connect, keep in mind that will rove every 30 days and if you plan on it being up longer than a month you will need to update that with your friends

[lone edge]

just to add more context, here are the warnings and errors i see when i boot the server
Sorry for clutter

[wicked knot]

At the command prompt (system) on the machine the server is on

[lone edge]

so cmd?

do i need to preface it with something?

[lone edge]

so would i copy/paste that whole line command?

[wicked knot]

is what it looks like to me. Possibly powershell?

[lone edge]

same return as before

hmm

[wicked knot]

elevated to admin?

[lone edge]

no luck there either

the annoying thig is the server log does not terminate in error, and shows that it's running

but the servers shows offline

[wicked knot]

Rebooted? It there was another instance of it running, it would roll over the listening port., as per the paragraph above the command you found

[lone edge]

"A simple way on Linux to check whether the server is running is with the command pgrep -f FactoryServer.sh"
is that not for linux though? how would i check for windows

[wicked knot]

with get:UDPEndpont

it shows the windows way, then the linux way, same subject

[lone edge]

would i need powershell to do this then?

[wicked knot]

🤷 I didnt write the article

[lone edge]

powershell gave a return at least

[wicked knot]

If admin prompt doesnt do it, that would be a good guess

[lone edge]

check comes back negetive, no server is running

i think

going by the wiki

[wicked knot]

what does the task manager say?

[lone edge]

server process does not seem to be running. At least i do not see it in processes

[wicked knot]

well, there ya go

[lone edge]

baseline established, now to run the server and observe the change

[wicked knot]

maybe verify the servers file set, and reboot, try again

[lone edge]

they do appear when i have booted the server

[lone edge]

I feel a bit silly for asking but what files (idk what files are the server set) and how do i verify?

[wicked knot]

Did you get it from Steam :Tools, or by SteamCMD?

[lone edge]

steamCMD

[wicked knot]

copied the script from the wiki?

They give the launch string to use to have it verify on each launch

[lone edge]

app_update validate right?

not sure if it did anything

no return

but no error

do i need to specify 1690800 or something?

[wicked knot]

so, not each time you run it, my bad. Should be easy to make a script for it tho

[lone edge]

ran it, all fine. still shows offline (in game)

[wicked knot]

has it been running the whole time?

[lone edge]

no i closed the server, ran the validation, then relaunched

[wicked knot]

client?

[lone edge]

?unsure as to what you are asking sorry

[wicked knot]

the game

[lone edge]

game client, which is run on my main PC shows the server to be offline

the server, witch is run on the other computer shows the server is up and running

[wicked knot]

has the game client been runing the entire time? It may have bad cached data. Turn it off, and turn it on again
