dedicated-servers

[sturdy gust]

Using the workaround

[civic lantern]

In my experience the software is very lightweight, and if you're up against a NAT that will only terminate ipv6 at your door something like this may be the only option

[night gate]

We can go in DM if you want, I can see if I can found something for you

[bold flicker]

yes no prob just need to restart my pc xD

[peak wedge]

All I know is that I redeployed 30 minutes ago and it suddenly started working for my clients on the WAN.

[sturdy gust]

Well, I'm glad to hear it!

[tall orchid]

Is anyone else having the API problem on a windows server specifically? I see the pins are talking about linux only

[sturdy gust]

It's on both

Use the workaround

[tall orchid]

I finally got a hold of the server provider

[errant acorn]

@sturdy gust You are the Docker guy! Nice

[civic lantern]

I just tried a steam update and it did not update anything, still build 15636842 and the question of whether updates are posted is also settled by looking at steamdb

[sturdy gust]

Hey! 😄 Hopefully it's working well for you 🙂

[errant acorn]

Just looked at your repo and saw it was updated 5 mins ago :P

[rain aspen]

Server won't let me save my game

[errant acorn]

If I get someone to play with I will use a dedicated server

[peak wedge]

Considering sponsoring you. :p

[sturdy gust]

Permissions issue

[rain aspen]

I swear it worked before

[sturdy gust]

Certainly not required, but always appreciated!

[sturdy gust]

Double check your directory permissions 🙂

[gray wave]

Did you use the API or the UDP connection? I'm having issues decoding the UDP packet and wondering if someone who's had success could share a code snippet.

[thick tusk]

my router has wireguard built in. anyone used that for tunneling or avoiding cgnat? Sheesh man... this is above my level of knowledge. Why do ISP's make shit so hard these days...

[worthy saddle]

They are using the HTTP API

[errant acorn]

Well a VPN itself would need a port forward on the CGNAT

[ornate grotto]

Because there aren't enough IP v4 Addresses left and they have to do something cheap (CGNAT) or expensive (switch everything to IPv6)

[errant acorn]

Otherwise others cannot reach your router

[errant acorn]

ISPs in Denmark do not even give IPv6 to residents ... Only business

[winged mauve]

I am getting this message when trying to connect to windows server. the Server Message keeps reappearing

[thick tusk]

Wireguard has a tunnel option too though. or so it says. But I dont really know. That level of networking is above my knowledge

[worthy saddle]

@errant geyser not sure if you are the guy to answer me this question, but why is every API function under one endpoint? I don't see any advantage in it

[rain aspen]

yep thank you :)

[sturdy gust]

Glad you got it figured out! 🙂

[errant acorn]

Yeah but at the network level, or NAT level, there needs to be something that routes to your router

Wireguard is still just UDP at the low level

[ornate grotto]

Yeah most connectivity still relies on IPv4, but the industry has known about this issue for decades and IPv6 is still not widely used

[civic lantern]

You would need to have a wireguard server for everyone to talk to

[tall orchid]

Ah, great, so all server host providers are basically out of luck then

[thick tusk]

got it. so something like cloudflare that has that..external setup.

[sturdy gust]

Until the patch drops later today, yeah

[errant acorn]

It is so dumb lol. At least I can buy a public IPv4 address as part of my subscription, which I have

[quiet bone]

does anyone have solved the issue with that "Faild to connect to Server API"

[tall orchid]

Do you have any itch in your nuts for en ETA?

[thick tusk]

Thats what I wanted...but nooo...business accounts only...at +170 a month for the same service... its...crazy

[sturdy gust]

Well, given that I'm not Coffee Stain, sadly not!

[tall orchid]

We're currently talking about it

[quiet bone]

damn...

[civic lantern]

a lot of people have, if you describe your setup we can start talking about how

[sturdy gust]

Check the pinned messages for the workaround

[errant acorn]

Some VPN providers can offer port forwarding. That is not a VPN in your router, but at the VPN provider

[winged mauve]

does not work for me

[sturdy gust]

Then something is wrong in your environment

[hollow thorn]

I tried the work around, but it doesn't work!

[sturdy gust]

Then something is wrong in your environment

[winged mauve]

can we please get a different channel for windows and linux. This is super annoying

[silver panther]

Does playing in a dedicated server allow you to build multiple habs?

[errant acorn]

Damn. My ISP is luckily non-profit with great pricing

[sturdy gust]

The issues exist for both? The same workaround applies to both, too

[ornate grotto]

No, it's always been co-op

[silver panther]

Alirght, thanks!!

[sacred pilot]

does this workaround also work for baremetal linux?

[hollow thorn]

#dedicated-servers message I don't understand why I don't have the right hash!

[winged mauve]

but it doesnt work!

[thick tusk]

Im jealous. I have no options here. Its either firefly for fiber....or sattelite..

[sturdy gust]

Friend, I know it's frustrating, but something is wrong with your environment. How about you give us some more details about what's going on, and then maybe we can help you? 🙂

[peak wedge]

RIP, some outside clients still report not being able to connect to the API.

[errant acorn]

At the price they offer you for business you might as well just rent a dedicated server lol

[peak wedge]

(I'm confused now)

[sturdy gust]

The image hash is fine, something else is up with your configuration

[winged mauve]

this

[sturdy gust]

That's a totally separate issue to the API issue everyone keeps mentioning

[sturdy gust]

Shoot me a DM, maybe I can help you figure it out?

[winged mauve]

do you know how to fix it?

[quiet bone]

dude i have no idea how to work around with my firewall i dont wanna screw up that stuff XD

[near brook]

i fixed the API issue in docker by using --network=host instead of doing the ports in the docker run script

--detach \
--name=satisfactory1-server \
--hostname satisfactory-server \
--restart unless-stopped \
--volume /home/thedevilsrevenge/dockerdata/factorytest:/config \
--env MAXPLAYERS=8 \
--env PGID=1000 \
--env PUID=1000 \
--env ROOTLESS=false \
--env STEAMBETA=false \
--memory-reservation=4G \
--memory 6G \
--network=host \
wolveix/satisfactory-server:latest```

[sturdy gust]

Could you give details about the issue? What does your environment look like? Are you running Windows? Linux? Are you running in a VM? Are you able to claim the server? Etc. etc.

[sturdy gust]

That's no longer needed

[near brook]

oh thats good to know

[turbid hound]

I've been using the API so far

[quiet bone]

is that the server that u self host or for other that u buyd?

[winged mauve]

Windows 11 EpicDS. Not able to claim the server. Server Manager sees that its online but then I get the authenication error

[near brook]

i selfhost on a linux machine i have

[thick tusk]

Right? Sadly my server is far better than the offerings those dedicateds offer...

[sturdy gust]

Stop the server, wipe the data directory for the server, restart the server

[hollow thorn]

I'm using the Docker composed method. I put this in a folder and run it with docker-compose up -d, What other configurations could I possibly have wrong? This was working before the 1.0 update. services: satisfactory-server: container_name: 'satisfactory-server' hostname: 'satisfactory-server' image: 'wolveix/satisfactory-server:latest' ports: - '7777:7777/udp' - '15000:15000/udp' - '15777:15777/udp' volumes: - '/f/SatisfactoryServer:/config' environment: - MAXPLAYERS=8 - PGID=1000 - PUID=1000 - STEAMBETA=false deploy: resources: limits: memory: 12G reservations: memory: 12G restart: unless-stopped

[sturdy gust]

Remove the uneeded ports, you're also missing 7777:7777/tcp

[errant geyser]

Mostly because functions in question are actual C++ functions and have names, but not full HTTP paths. Specifically making HTTP paths for them didn't look super worth it

[sturdy gust]

Your ports should ONLY be 7777 UDP and 7777 TCP

[winged mauve]

already done. Same issue with SteamCMD too

[deft plover]

Hi guys its me again, ive opened the server and one of my friends have joined but other seems to have some issues with it, for them the server name is still pending

[hollow thorn]

OK, I'll make those changes and get back to you, thanks

[sturdy gust]

Are you trying to connect to it on the same system? Or from another system?

[nimble wraith]

Just figured id check here before I go build a custom javascript package and read their docs, anyone work on the http api yet? xD

[winged mauve]

different system. same network

[tender thicket]

Well that's not good

[sturdy gust]

Check both ports are accessible from your system. I suspect one of them/both isn't, or are being filtered

[errant acorn]

Really?

[near brook]

maybe firewall at the serversystem?

[winged mauve]

firewall is disabled

[sturdy gust]

Verify that you're able to actually reach the ports though

[deep turret]

ok so the only directly tls managed bit is also http ?
then my bad, it should work fine with a 2 way tls (de)encryption proxying on tcp stream

[winged mauve]

canyouseeme says 7777 is open

[sturdy gust]

Check both ports 🙂

Also, verify locally, not externally

[jolly swan]

Is there a API documentation anywhere out there?

[manic sand]

damn, wolvei logged off discord helpin people, went to bed and woke up to immediately start helpin again. haha

[latent bloom]

This guy just reads my mind

[marsh heron]

help how do i join server
i paste ip and press confirm
and nothing happens

[winged mauve]

how do I check both ports?

[sturdy gust]

Server manager

[marsh heron]

ye i do it there
add ip
and nothing happens

[sturdy gust]

Lmao, yeah I've been here for the last 5 hours or so

[sturdy gust]

Nothing happens at all? Possibly a client issue?

[ornate grotto]

& @latent bloom it's in the client - #dedicated-servers message

[sturdy gust]

I'll probably drop soon, as it's the same stuff over and over. I only rejoined to help people out with the 1.0 launch 😄

[marsh heron]

ye i just get sound of confirm button presed
and nothing more

[sturdy gust]

That's really strange! Maybe try verifying your game files?

[deep turret]

Documentation location should be pinned imo

[manic sand]

fingers crossed we get a laymans patch. but i'm sure dozens of people appreciate your efforts. 😄

[sturdy gust]

I wish it would be

[heady prawn]

Is there any way to make the server console not be in GMT?

[deep turret]

you mean utc ?

[sturdy gust]

Same thing, no?

[marsh heron]

could it be problem between steam-eg compatibility?

[calm crow]

Hello me and my friend played 2 times then server crashed and server lost all save files. Did anyone go through the same?

[deep turret]

no strictly speaking

[sturdy gust]

Nah, I don't think so

[winged mauve]

I think it says UDP is being filtered

[heady prawn]

Currently, yes.

[deep turret]

gmt is like gmt +5 gmt -2 etc
utc is source

[sturdy gust]

Ah, sure. Appreciate the clarity, I mentally treat them the same 🙂

[sturdy gust]

Well, always yes

GMT doesn't change

Unless you GMT+1 etc.

[deep turret]

it does

it could

[untold finch]

left my server (win10/epic) running overnight, this morning tried to connect to it, and the client crashed (with the ue error send box).. had to restart the server process.. it came back up and all is good.. not a prob for me, as I have the server accessible via remote desktop to relaunch, hopefully stuff will gradually not do this anymore 😉

[sturdy gust]

????

[deep turret]

there are the so called leaping seconds

[hollow thorn]

that did it, Thank you!

I missed the port info on this link https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server/issues/260

but its made much clearer on https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server

[sturdy gust]

All right, if we want to be pedantic about it 😄

[deep turret]

welcome to the world were the details matter, informatic

[heady prawn]

Either way. Didn't know if there was some sort of DST. Neither here nor there though. SO, any chance of that happening?

[sturdy gust]

Glad it worked for you, friend!

[ornate grotto]

The primary difference remains to be the fact that GMT is the denomination of a timezone, while UTC is the title of the time standard

[sturdy gust]

Oh cool, thanks! That's interesting 😄

[heady prawn]

Come for a question, learn entirely way too much info about timezones and standards. lol

[ornate grotto]

Search for GMT vs UTC. I did post a link but FICSIT bot removed it 😦

[tepid rock]

One of my favorite "lists" off all time is the "Falsehoods developers believe about time" one

[civic lantern]

If you would want to see what zerotier is like to at least use, you can try network 8286ac0e4784600a . This is a purpose built public zerotier that only routes udp/tcp 7777. It is 'public' in the sense that there is no limit to how many people may join it. It is a /16 so there are 65 thousand slots.

Install on your game machine, use 'add network' in the tray icon, and use the above network ID. Start satisfactory, and join server 172.27.110.89 port 7777. There is no step 3.

[winged mauve]

by both ports, you mean tcp and udp right? When checking open ports, I use my external IP address right?

[civic lantern]

deez are the rules on that network, in case you want to run your own

[sturdy gust]

Yes for both ports. If you're connecting with your server's internal IP, no

[winged mauve]

ok I just tried the internal IP and I think that worked. Does the external IP not work cause Im on the same network?

[civic lantern]

If you operate your own zerotier, the limit of 25 devices to the free account applies, and you have to approve each joiner

[sturdy gust]

There you go 🙂 No, the external IP doesn't work as your router isn't configured properly for port forwarding

[dense coyote]

Does anyone know how to change the time of the server restart?

[sturdy gust]

Through the in-game server manager

[civic lantern]

the traffic is encrypted so there's no need to trust zerotier inc, who operate the moons which are used for a fallback when there's no clear route or UPNP trickery possible

[sturdy gust]

Maybe put it in a thread?

[civic lantern]

Sure

[thick tusk]

Yes.... Ive got a full R740 sitting in my garage

[civic lantern]

Zerotier as a solution for ipv6 ISP's or people who don't want to, or can't, mess with their router

[deep turret]

I mean unless it shows as a local network, which firewall are giving more freedom to

it becomes basically like an isp router without integrated firewall

[winged mauve]

I connected to a VPN and the external IP worked. Looks like theres some issue where you cant connect to a server on the same network with external IP

[deep turret]

it's not that bad as every machine should have its own firewall

but it's not a great thing

[calm silo]

hihi guys, i'm trying to get this dedicated server to work, i think i've set up the port forwarding for 7777? but what is this stuff about multihome that i'm seeing

i'm generally shit at this stuff so would appreciate some clarity if yall would be so kind 😄

[pallid relic]

Just wondering, does anyone know if the satisfactory server is able to run on ARM64 machines?

[sturdy gust]

Read the pinned messages 🙂

[sturdy gust]

Doesn't work

[calm silo]

i did and i still dont understand 😦

[sturdy gust]

You shouldn't ever really use an external IP when you're on the same network anyway 😄

[sturdy gust]

What are you confused about?

[deep turret]

ok so I'm back from reading the doc

1. having automatic reneved native certificate should be trivial
2. you can use nginx to "proxy" but only on TCP STREAM mode, (not web proxying), and using a 2 way encryption/decryption of the TLS layer

[winged mauve]

fair but it still should work I think. I know it works for minecraft servers

[sturdy gust]

Depends on the server implementation. Yes, it should work

[worthy saddle]

What about api/v1/<functionName>? Would that already be too much? I'm not quite experienced with C++

[hollow jewel]

Depends on the router

[deep turret]

depends mainly on the router *

[sturdy gust]

The mapping can be annoying, but it would be great

[calm silo]

If you are running with -multihome= on the command line, OR inside of the docker container, you will be unable to connect to the Server API.

what does it mean by running with multihome

[sturdy gust]

Do NOT use -multihome whatsoever

[sturdy gust]

Literally, just call ./FactoryServer.sh (or exe) with the workaround param

That's it

Nothing else

The Docker container works as-is, if you're using it

[dense coyote]

I would recommend the docker container

[deep turret]

I enjoy reading the API doc

it's a lot more detailed than I thought it would be on day 1

[errant geyser]

is there a really strong reason to change the API at this point?

[deep turret]

already have very interesting third party management capabilities

[safe haven]

I haven't yet found the documentation.

[slender ferry]

Have they fix dedicated servers yet for hosting sites?

[sturdy gust]

It would be better since you could have a proper OpenAPI spec, but hey I'll take a working API over nothing 😄

[deep turret]

in client game files "CommunityResources"

[sturdy gust]

Not yet, awaiting patch

[worthy saddle]

I don't know, that would be up to you, but it would be a lot simpler to use and document. openapi for example doesn't work because multiple specifications for one endpoint and method is not allowed.

[dense coyote]

So I see in server manager where you can change the restart interval

But the issue is it restarts at like 10pm EST every day

it did this in the old version

[safe haven]

Yes, it's poorly phrased. It's a time, not an interval.

[dense coyote]

so it GMT?

[sturdy gust]

UTC

[dense coyote]

ok cool

thanks!

[sturdy gust]

😎

[errant acorn]

Yeah okay

[deep turret]

everyday ? you mean once ?
it released yersterday ?

[thick tusk]

which is why I wanna use mine and not an online service. besides...and online service for all the DC's Im trying to stand up would be as expensive as the business option lol

[stiff urchin]

Are blueprints eaiser to get on servers now?

[dense coyote]

@deep turret It did it in previous versions

It had only been up for a few hours then ti did its daily

I changed it now so it doesn't happen a peak times

[gleaming fjord]

do any of yall want to play mp this weekend or have a reccommended server

[deep turret]

wrong channel, here is about the dedicated server itself (installation, management, maintenance, use, setup, configuration, etc..)
go to #1201555265942724758 for group playing

[errant acorn]

Are local saves for offline play fully compatible with dedicated servers? And vice-versa? That is, does either create files that the other cannot/does not use?

Or wait, you upload your own saves and can download them too yeah

[deep turret]

they are supposed to be completely compatible, as long as the reading game is the same build or newer version

[errant acorn]

I just wonder if it does some sort of conversion

Or if you can also literally drag and drop your save

[deep turret]

but note that it will add player characters inside the game

[errant acorn]

Yeah that makes sense

[civic lantern]

it publishes a new network interface. the web console has the FW rules

[deep turret]

there is a upload button in the server manager

[deep turret]

I was responding to "anyone can connect" part, if anyone can connect to your endpoint, then your endpoint must be guarded behind your firewall too

maybe I just misunderstood and you were not talking about endpoints

I'm just in the better be safe than sorry pedantic spectrum

[dense coyote]

@sturdy gust Just disabled host mode and everything works great! Thanks for putting in the work!

[civic lantern]

I don’t know what the word endpoint means exactly. Everything is ipv4 and everyone can be a server

[errant acorn]

endpoint is a combination of ip address and port

[mellow raft]

guys, help me out here, satisfactory dedicated server app is gone for me from steam, I know you can use steamcmd to download it, but before 1.0 you could just get it simply from steam

[deep turret]

not necessarily, here it's just a ip address

[midnight wave]

Any update on failed API yet except the work around?

[civic lantern]

On a private zt you manage which users may join it. On a public zt anyone may join so the rules had better be good. If you’re that paranoid about who joins a game server then the private zt exists

[mellow raft]

is this new licensing method, I do not own satisfactory on steam but on epic

[patent bone]

How can I change the maximum number of players on a base server?

[errant acorn]

well they use it as such in .NET at least, the class IPEndPoint is an IP Address and a Port

[deft dawn]

sorry my english is not that good.
Can someone tell me whether the error was fixed with the API connection

[sturdy gust]

Patch will release later today

[sturdy gust]

See the pinned messages

[deep turret]

zerotier is not about only connecting to the game server, unless you set it up (i.e firewall) for only accepting specific connection to the game server

[sturdy gust]

Guys, let's move the Zerotier discussion elsewhere

[deep turret]

you can't say "it has no firewall as it connect only to game server" because it needs the firewall to allow only game server connections

[crisp umbra]

can you change the max number of players allowed in a game? if so, how?

[civic lantern]

There’s a thread

[sturdy gust]

Yep, in Game.ini

[crisp umbra]

where is that ini file located? I wasn't able to find it.

[sturdy gust]

Or, add this to your server startup script:

-ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8

[versed turret]

Anybody able to run the server without console window on Windows? -unattended doesn't seem to work.... 😦

[midnight wave]

I see not updates yet.

[sturdy gust]

Shouldn't show up unless -log is there

[sturdy gust]

Yes, indeed, it'll release later today

[deep turret]

that's just one kind of endpoint, the word "endpoint" is not tied to .NET in any way

[versed turret]

No it does...

[errant acorn]

I gave one possible definition yes

[sturdy gust]

🤷‍♂️

I don't really know the Windows version as well, it may have some nuances I'm unaware of

@versed turret this is what a Coffee Stain dev said earlier today in this same thread:

-log creates a console window, -unattended is implied by the dedicated server already iirc

Maybe send your startup script?

How are you launching the server?

[versed turret]

I tried the Shell.Execute of VB script, that usually hides all windows. Even that failed here...

SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryServer.exe -ServerQueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000 -Port=7777 -unattended

[lavish magnet]

I've mostly given up on this for anything windows. I usually just make a new desktop and put servers i'm running over on a desktop that I never look at.

[crystal sentinel]

run it as a windows service

[sturdy gust]

Run this instead:

SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryServer.exe -Port=7777

[errant acorn]

Windows for hosting is a PITA

[sturdy gust]

Yeah, it fucking sucks

Hence why I have limited exposure to it

[crystal sentinel]

not really, you can host much more games and most more stuff with better compability on windows

[errant acorn]

Windows in general is a PITA when it comes to dev stuff

[versed turret]

unfortunately no Linux Pcs here 😓

[sturdy gust]

That's a straight lie lol

[errant acorn]

You can use WSL for hosting I think

I don't see why not

[sturdy gust]

Yeah, you absolutely can

[errant acorn]

Windows Subsystem for Linux

[sturdy gust]

WSL2 is great, minus cross-system IO performance

Windows -> Linux or vice versa

[versed turret]

Yeah, but seems a bit unnessasary seeing how there were no real problems until now

[errant acorn]

Or even just run Wolveix's Docker container on Windows. Not sure if that offers worse performance than running Docker on Linux

[lavish magnet]

docker on windows uses wsl

[errant acorn]

That makes sense

[sturdy gust]

Yeah, not needed here. Remove the now-outdated junk from your startup script (the other ports etc.), see if it helps. If not, run it as a Windows service

[hollow thorn]

I'd really be interested to know how to run a Docker container as a service. I've been keeping a open rdp session for windows docker

[sturdy gust]

Just run it detached

That's it

I run all containers detached by default, even

[hollow thorn]

I'll google that, thanks

[sturdy gust]

If you're using docker compose, you should be set. Run with docker compose up -d

[ancient bison]

You just need to add -d to the docker run command

[twilit fox]

if you use a container manager by default it's already running as a.. thing lol portainer will restart a container if it's not running or if it fails.

[versed turret]

Tried with just Port and port/unattened args. Still showed up. 😦

[sturdy gust]

You don't need portainer for automatic restarts, it's part of the run command for a container 🙂

[sturdy gust]

Damn, sorry to hear it! Try running it as a Windows service?

I can't offer more support on that front, as it's outside my area of expertise

[fading whale]

i keep getting outgoing reliable buffer overflow when trying to connect to dedicated server any ideas on how to fix this?

[twilit fox]

the only arg you need is -Port=x and only if you're using a nonstandard config.. although if you doin docker.. iono

[hollow thorn]

I do a docker-compose up -d now, Are you saying I can log out and it will stay running?

[sturdy gust]

No args needed for Docker

[sturdy gust]

Yes

From RDP? Absolutely

[versed turret]

Yup, never created a service before. I guess there is a first time for everything.

[ancient bison]

Correct

[sturdy gust]

Shouldn't be too difficult!

[hollow thorn]

ah, cool, Sorry about my noobness 🤣

[brittle warren]

is there like a tutorial for dummies how to set this up? i dont understand the wiki page at all

[sturdy gust]

No apology needed, friend 🙂

[twilit fox]

if you're doing a windows server, from what I've seen is they're supposed to push a patch for them today. they buggy lol

[craggy estuary]

Anyone know when the patch will be ish?

[errant acorn]

Your container image is still using Ubuntu 18? @sturdy gust

[sturdy gust]

Later today

[sturdy gust]

https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server/pull/282

[errant acorn]

Ah okay great

[sturdy gust]

Temporarily rebased amidst the chaos yesterday

[crystal sentinel]

i host game servers for a living (more than 200 different games in catalog and counting), there are certain games that dont have linux binaries for example enshrouded, and you have to use wine for example, same applies to certain tools, you can still host, but not natively and most times gives you side effects,

[sturdy gust]

Okay bud 🙂

[crystal sentinel]

😉

[sturdy gust]

You're absolutely right about some games needing to run under Wine (my original Docker image for Satisfactory did this, as it predates official dedicated servers). But saying more run on Windows in general is a lie man haha

[fading whale]

will the update fix the outgoing reliable server overflow issue?

[errant acorn]

Not offering Linux binaries for dedicated server hosting is so beyond silly lol

[sturdy gust]

The majority of games that have even half-serious server support, support Linux

[sturdy gust]

No idea what you're referring to

[crystal sentinel]

the majority, not all

you can still host, but not natively

[errant acorn]

I get not making a Linux version of the game itself. Fair enough. But for server hosting one should really not use Windows in practice lol

[crystal sentinel]

linux far way cheaper to host tho

[sturdy gust]

Yeah, no licensing for one!

[twilit fox]

Thanks for all your hardwork on maintaining the docker image btw.

[sturdy gust]

And just a lot lighter weight

[topaz ore]

So I tried setting up a Windows steamcmd dedicated server yesterday. Are there still the same problems today? (Offline/Not authenticated)

[sturdy gust]

Is there documentation for the HTTP API endpoints?

[errant acorn]

Linux is superior in most ways. I use it exclusively on my laptop for dev work. I do not even have Windows installed on it, nor do I have a license on my laptop

[ancient bison]

Thanks! Where'd you find this?

[topaz ore]

Read and tested, still offline/not authenticated on my end 😦

[sturdy gust]

In the client files 🙂

[sturdy gust]

Environment issue my friend! Check the top of the README on https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server

[twilit fox]

...astroneer is one that only has windows server.. and it's awful

[errant acorn]

What a joke lol

[twilit fox]

completely offtopic here, but fk that game. cute game.. but the choices they've made when doing their dedi server.. they've pretty much just told everyone to go buy gportal as it's their "official" hosting partner.

[crystal sentinel]

yeah sure it is, thats why some games on steam catalog dont even run even with proton lol get your facts right

[errant acorn]

That has nothing to do with Linux lol. It is not Linux's fault that some games do not run

[sturdy gust]

Imagine

Hahaha

[errant acorn]

Linux is still the greatest open-source project ever

And the biggest

[crystal sentinel]

has to do that windows has better compatibility overall, no discussion on that, just facts

[sturdy gust]

Also not true

[errant acorn]

No. It is not Linux that does not support the games - it is the other way around

[sturdy gust]

Anyway, offtopic, no one here cares about our conversation 😄

[crystal sentinel]

when you have a system that cant run all games, and you have a system that can run all games, just think

yeah bit of offtopic 😄

[errant acorn]

With your logic it is the PS5's fault that it cannot run Satisfactory right now

[sturdy gust]

Offtopic

[errant acorn]

Yeah ok I will stop :P

[twilit fox]

Yeah slightly offtopic.. I like Debian.. xD

[sturdy gust]

We're here for Satisfactory servers people! 😛

[sturdy gust]

Debian, thx

[crisp umbra]

ok so I had a server running yesterday and everything was fine, but it doesn't seem like it wants to start up today. I run the dedicated server program and it seems to run fine, but it won't show up as online in the game browser. I can't see any errors in the console logs so I can't tell if something is wrong.

[sturdy gust]

Can you provide information about your environment? : )

OS, network, etc.

How are you connecting, etc.

[marble bobcat]

no we're not we're here for windows / Linux debate because that's never happened before am i right..

[crisp umbra]

I'm running on my local machine on windows 10, connecting through a public IP (though it doesn't show up with a local IP either)

[sturdy gust]

Next we'll be onto iOS vs Android!

[south current]

Did someone say a patch is coming this afternoon to fix servers?

[sturdy gust]

How are you running? What does your run command look like?

[runic nacelle]

I just pulled the latest docker release from wolveix (amazing job btw), but I cant get the API to work when hitting localhost:7777, any ideas?

[sturdy gust]

Later today, yes

[rare shoal]

i host own server

[crisp umbra]

I'm just running it through the steam library program

[sturdy gust]

You're probably on an outdated image 🙂

[rare shoal]

made a custom.bat file

and used old ports

[runic nacelle]

lemme check

[rare shoal]

now players can connect

[sturdy gust]

Manually pull an update

[tame moss]

I am having the same issue with mine. I was using the Steam Dedicated Server tool during early access just fine. Now as of 1.0, the server will run in command prompt but I cannot see it in the game's server manager using any variation of local IP or real IP

[sturdy gust]

My guy, don't send one line messages while trying to ask for help

They get too split up

[rare shoal]

try regular steam CMD

thats how i managed yesterday getting my server up

[sturdy gust]

Your run command is possibly wrong?

[runic nacelle]

well its up to date with the latest release, should I try by specifying a version?

[spare tangle]

I wanted to get running fast yesterday and my laptop didn't want to take a flash drive to install linux and so I just downloaded the dedicated server from steam... any issues with moving it to the docker and WSL on Windows 10?

[tame moss]

So do not use the dedicated server tool?

[sturdy gust]

Try v1.7.4 to verify

[errant acorn]

Docker should work fine

[sturdy gust]

If you're still experiencing issues, send your runtime command

[proud bolt]

What's the command to change the ports?

[sturdy gust]

Not a command, parameter

[twilit fox]

-Port=x

[rare shoal]

when i tryed with port 7777 players wanted to connect could not connect to api, if make custum .bat start file and specify ports (gameport , beacon port etc) it should boot up normal

[errant acorn]

Isn't it insecure to still be running Ubuntu 18 in Docker? I know you are updating it soon but still

[sturdy gust]

That's not true

[sturdy gust]

https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server/pull/282

[rare shoal]

whas my experience

[mighty coral]

Hey everyone, we're having a problem with the dedicated server, we're getting increasingly often crashes with this error message. Tried searching for the issue in here first, can't really find something that seems to apply to our situation. Weird thing is, according to my friend there's no error/crashes on the console, but we all get kicked and the server needs to be restarted so that it works. Any clues? Thanks in advance :)

[twilit fox]

you need BOTH protocals.. tcp/udp

[errant acorn]

Yeah you sent that before. I am just asking as I am not an expert on Docker and how it works under the hood

[rare shoal]

ow sprry im running in windows server 2024, and steam cmd

so not linux

[sturdy gust]

Sorry, just answered it many times. Short answer, Ubuntu 24 broke permissions for some people, that's why people were losing their files

[sturdy gust]

Same applies

[ancient bison]

>> curl -s -X POST --insecure -H "Authorization: Bearer XXXX" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://<ip>:7777/api/v1 -d '{"function": "QueryServerState", "data": {"clientCustomData": ""}}' | jq .

  "data": {
    "serverGameState": {

      "numConnectedPlayers": 0,
      "playerLimit": 4,
      "techTier": 2,
      "activeSchematic": "None",
      "gamePhase": "/Script/FactoryGame.FGGamePhase'/Game/FactoryGame/GamePhases/GP_Project_Assembly_Phase_0.GP_Project_Assembly_Phase_0'",

      "averageTickRate": 29.846771240234375,
      "autoLoadSessionName": "W0rld"
    }
  }
}

Can confirm the HTTP API works, neat!

[errant acorn]

Oof. That sucks. What about trying Debian? Then you need to investigate as you say in your PR :P

[twilit fox]

ubuntu is bad linux.

[sturdy gust]

Not bad, just less good 😄

[errant acorn]

Ubuntu is fine

But I would probably just use Debian personally, for hosting

[twilit fox]

Debian is love.

[dense plover]

why the hate for ubunto regarding debian?

[twilit fox]

ubuntu is based on debian.. but I don't like all the extra stuff.. or the ads in terminal when you login to your server to get pro..

[sturdy gust]

Ubuntu is just heavier, plus owned by a corporation yada yada

[proud bolt]

Will there be an update soon that fixes the conglomeration of issues, allowing for the old and easy port forwarding + steamcmd approach?

[sturdy gust]

Plus the mess that is snap

[sturdy gust]

Nothing has changed on that front

Send your runtime command if you're experiencing issues

[tender thicket]

Got it working, thank god

[ancient bison]

Alright, I'm gonna create a python wrapper for the HTTP API

[dense plover]

wouldn't we actually have an update today?

[sturdy gust]

One of many!

[sturdy gust]

Yes, it'll release later today. People keep asking 😄

[tender thicket]

turns out that I needed to set my proxmox cpu in my VM to host

[ancient bison]

Don't see any yet on pypi, but I'm sure you'll be right

[sturdy gust]

Yep

[tender thicket]

and just like that it works

[sturdy gust]

Yeah, known issue

Has been for a long time

[tender thicket]

I wish I knew about it 😭

[sturdy gust]

Well obviously you should have known to ask me! 😛

[tender thicket]

Save me all this debugging yesterday

[spare tangle]

for the volumes on docker, does "./satisfactory-server:/config" hold all the game files and config files? or just config? will the game files get redownloaded if the container has to be remade?

[sturdy gust]

Everything

Game files persist

[spare tangle]

[proud bolt]

I set it up with the traditional steamcmd method, port forwarded to tcp/7777, but I still get an encryption token error. Anyone know the main cause of that?

[tender thicket]

u need udp as well

[sturdy gust]

You need to claim the server in the server manager

[tender thicket]

and that

[sturdy gust]

^

[proud bolt]

I claimed it using localhost so it would appear, but port forward as both and that's it? That's really all it takes?

[sturdy gust]

Yep

[tender thicket]

Should be yeah

[fluid inlet]

Hey all, issue here, Im running a windows server downloaded from epic, got it all setup but every time I leave the server it goes offline for everyone including myself and must be relaunced to join but if no one joins within about 30 seconds it goes offline

[tender thicket]

thats what worked for me

[sturdy gust]

Known issue friend

[sick granite]

hey guys, someone has a solution for "Server API" or "encyprtion Token missing" issue?

[noble slate]

Have dedicated servers always been this desynced or is this new with 1.0? They said dedis were out of experimental I figured they'd work better.
Removing or painting foundations often desyncs.
Is there anything that can be done to prevent desyncs?

[sturdy gust]

Join via the server manager

[acoustic pecan]

We got any news on when the patch fixes are dropping?

[fluid inlet]

no fix currently im assuming

[sturdy gust]

Later today dude

[versed turret]

Well, I got the service installed now, and no window! Yay! Thanks for the help anyway.

[sturdy gust]

Sadly not

[sturdy gust]

Hey, glad to hear it!!

[sick granite]

with server manager there is the Server API error

[sturdy gust]

See the pinned messages

[sick granite]

i can connect with local IP in my network

i will check them thanks

[sturdy gust]

See the pinned messages 🙂

[acoustic pecan]

did a dev mention it somewhere?

[sturdy gust]

To me directly, and in this channel

[acoustic pecan]

ahh okay

[sturdy gust]

Check the pinned messages

[fluid inlet]

afk inside the base like in the old days, got it lol

[sturdy gust]

Hahaha, you know it!

[dim finch]

P2P, I shudder at the thought!

[versed turret]

Also I did want to ask, are other ports not needed anymore? Are they removed? I thought it was just a Docker thing..

[sturdy gust]

7777 UDP and TCP

Unrelated to Docker

No other ports

[versed turret]

So I can remove my Port Forward as well then. Cool

[sturdy gust]

As long as those 2 are allowed, yep

[rain ridge]

y

[outer fossil]

im so sad it uses udp

[sturdy gust]

Game servers dude

[outer fossil]

i mean, many game servers use only tcp

[sturdy gust]

True, and many use UDP 🙂

[minor narwhal]

Wolveix, I'm assuming that the latest docker version has the current work around applied to it correct? if yes, my issue is pretty much the same as everyone else, can connect locally, but not via WAN IP despite ports being forwarded.

Is this a wait for patch issue?

[outer fossil]

but only tcp is the objectively better solution

[tender thicket]

why is this something to be sad about

[sturdy gust]

Yes sir. Nope, you have an environment issue

[tender thicket]

or like why do u care

[outer fossil]

many reasons.

its much harder to scale

[sturdy gust]

Irellevant for this, no?

[sturdy gust]

Everything should work if your environment is configured properly

[outer fossil]

and for someone who hosts thousands of game servers around the world, even a small inconvenience is bad enough

[forest basin]

Hey Wolveix. Any interest in adding variables to the compose file and adding a .env file to make deployments a little more automatable?

[kind terrace]

I've done everything right and it still says the server is offline. Running the server in Wolveix's docker container. Both TCP and UDP ports are forwarded

[sturdy gust]

You mean like it already is? 😄

[outer fossil]

whats the log say

[crisp umbra]

so yeah, I also ran it through command prompt using this command .\FactoryServer.exe -port=7777 -log -unattended and it's still showing up as offline in the server manager in game. but now it's only showing offline when I use the external IP. connecting with a local IP works.

[sturdy gust]

You're missing something along the way. Check firewalls if any are active

If on Ubuntu, for example

[tender thicket]

did you port forward on your router?

[brittle warren]

Do online hostings like nitrado, g-portal etc support the 1.0 version already? does anyone know

[tender thicket]

Those ports wont be externally accessible otherwise

[sturdy gust]

Ask the hosts

[minor narwhal]

hmm, the docker is running on unraid, anything off the top of your head that I should check?

[crisp umbra]

yes. It was working yesterday, but stopped working today. I double checked a few minutes ago that the port forward was still active and it is

[clear crater]

if they are using SteamCMD then it should be able to autoupdate. without any input from the host

[sturdy gust]

Unraid is a little different. Others have it working though I believe, Docker is docker after all

[forest basin]

i meant including the variables in the compose file in the repo so i don't have to make my own copose. just set some env variables. Specifically, I'd like to set variables for volume and memory.

[crisp umbra]

oh my god I figured it out. my computers LAN IP changed overnight...

[clear crater]

static set it in windows or on router prefered method on router.

[sturdy gust]

Ah, I see. No, no intentions. That'll confuse people, I promise you. It's a very quick process to do yourself, and the repo example is just that; an example

[tender thicket]

lmao, why arent u using a static IP for ur pc?

most routers allow u to do that

[crisp umbra]

because I'm new to networking, idk how to set it up.

[sick granite]

tested it with -ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any but still not working

[tender thicket]

google "(router name) how to set static ip"

[forest basin]

yeah. easy enough. i wanted to use portainer to auto rebuild when there is an update to the github repo. but that means it will use the compose file in the repo.

[tender thicket]

that should be a good start

[kind terrace]

I checked and the Ubuntu server does not have any firewall active

[sturdy gust]

Give more information about your environment, and hopefully someone can help 🙂 I've been active in here for the last 8 hours, I've gotta go and do some real work.

If you're still stuck, shoot me a DM and I'll help!

[forest basin]

real work? what's that?

[clear crater]

Pain

[forest basin]

you are a factory builder now.

[kind terrace]

Why do real work when I can smash face at getting this server working lol

[tender thicket]

ur saying ur not wfh and can just sit on ur pc all day?

noob hours out here

[crisp umbra]

hmm I thought that would be the issue but it still shows offline

[errant acorn]

Your FICSIT contract prohibits you from working for other companies

[stoic stream]

What is the reccomendd CPU and RAM for the dedicated server anyway? (using an ESXI VM)

[outer fossil]

depends how many ppl. min ram is like 4gb

[worthy saddle]

Please check out the wiki in the channel description

[stoic stream]

I did 10 CPUs, and 32GB of RAM

[outer fossil]

lmao

[tender thicket]

Min ram is like 2gb I believe but u rly want something more than that. 4 at least, consider like 8+ for more players

[outer fossil]

yeah thatl work

[tender thicket]

LOL

yeah bro ur good

have at it

[deep turret]

too many cpus

[stoic stream]

Yeh I have a Dell poweredge r730 for various servers

[clear crater]

I hope you mean cores not CPUs lol

[stoic stream]

I haven plenty, not like I am running a company lol

[deep turret]

past 8 you could have adverse effect at adding more

[tender thicket]

Mans got a whole 64u cage set up for his single satisfactory server

[outer fossil]

cores are called cpus in the server world.

[tender thicket]

redundancy and all

[stoic stream]

Well ESXI does it by "CPUs" and breaks the threads and cores appropriately.

[stoic stream]

Well, I have a lot of other servers too, but i was just wondering about Satisfactory 😄

[outer fossil]

im running my server on my epyc 7H12

[kind terrace]

I'm running the satisfactory server in a docker container in an Ubuntu VM on Truenas. The container is running. I've forwarded both 7777 ports on my router to the VM IP. I checked and the firewall on the Ubuntu VM is inactive. I'm just trying to figure out why the Server Browser in satisfactory says the Server is inactive. I can't for the life of me figure out why

[deep turret]

vcpu

[tender thicket]

lol ik im just messing w u

[stoic stream]

Ya indeed

[tender thicket]

Do u get server manager screens? Like, can you create the map n all?

[outer fossil]

what if you try local ip?

[sick granite]

debian 11. no docker (but also treid) all ports forwarded.

[deep turret]

did you fully check your server logs/states ?

[acoustic pecan]

Do we know if the update coming later is just for dedi servers or for other bugs as well

[tender thicket]

I think the dedi fixes are separate from the main game

but id absolutely assume theres gonna be a bugfix for the game at some pt soon

but idk, just guessing

[deep turret]

there are multiple things going on about the network connections management and processing
and it must all be matched and agree on connection handling
so it was not all fully align at launch it seems when it comes to binding
this is server specific

[sturdy gust]

Just for the API issue

[upper pollen]

so the old dell laptop is running te save when i am not in game moved the save file between PC and server so the dedicated isnt under too much stress with it being a i5 6300u

[acoustic pecan]

got it

[tender thicket]

Why dont you just perma host on the laptop?

not enough ram or smth?

[cursive pilot]

Anyone have a recommendation for server rental?

[upper pollen]

also its only using 5gb in total the laptop when not in game lubuntu only uses around 600mg

[untold finch]

not ds related, but made me lol.. enabling 'straight belt' build mode is awesome when building in the horizontal plane.. but omg.. it tries to use it in the vertical too.. unsurprisingly a 100% vertical belt is always 'too steep' roflmao 🙂

[upper pollen]

yeah only has 8gb

[latent night]

When are they publishing the fix?

[tender thicket]

soon™️

[eager glade]

soon™️

[dim chasm]

As soon as humanly possible, have half a dozen hands sweating on keyboards

[tender thicket]

How u holding up bro

[latent night]

Same question here

[tender thicket]

i assume the office is chaos

[dim chasm]

I could chomp on some brocolli right about now tbf so don't come too close :]

[tender thicket]

ayo D:

[dim chasm]

Thanks team, we're fighting, but we're loving it <33

[silver cedar]

Is there anyone can help me? so confuse

[tender thicket]

is this an internal or external IP

are u hosting thru a server hosting co or is this a machine in ur house

[minor narwhal]

bring round the bottle of whiskey when they're done 🍻

[dim chasm]

#dedicated-servers message

[silver cedar]

a remote server

[tender thicket]

Make sure ur forwarding port 7777 for tcp and udp

if both arent forwarded it wont work

[grand path]

this ^

[silver cedar]

ok,let me try

[cursive pilot]

Best place to rent a server?

[glass star]

What's the best way to check a connection externally? I'm having the same Windows server connection issues as a number of people, where I have 7777 forward in both TCP and UDP but no luck connecting to public IP. I tried canyouseeme and it isn't showing an active connection, although I double checked the inbound rules on the server firewall as well as disabling the firewall entirely.

[tender thicket]

thats basically subjective

[eager glade]

im having the same API issue, but i have my own machine and 7777 already had tcp/udp forwarded. still comes up with API error using internal and external ip

[glass star]

I would clarify that I can connect locally to the server, just not remotely.

[silver cedar]

and i found this when i run FactoryServer.sh, is it matter?

[sturdy gust]

Check you're using the workaround, read the pinned messages

[tender thicket]

are you accessing the right IP?

[sturdy gust]

Nope

[tender thicket]

so much for dipping for work lul

cant help themselves

[outer fossil]

anyone know if hosting a server on v6 is possible

[clear spear]

someone have a fix i dont get it Gportal server

[outer fossil]

use server manager

[tender thicket]

Did you claim the server?

through the server manager

u need to set it up

[eager glade]

the workaround being -ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any correct?

[eager glade]

can i still use my own ports or am i using 7777 with this workaround?

[sturdy gust]

Yep!

[sturdy gust]

You can use your own port, but make it far off from 7777

[topaz ore]

Gave up trying to get the steamcmd dedicated server version to work on Windows, can confirm that everything works with the docker image wolveix/satisfactory-server:latest ❤️

[clear crater]

Any doc file /site for the Possible requests to the HTTP api?

just wondering.

[pallid relic]

Sad, the new API doesnt include anything regarding connected players, locations, object placements etc 😦

[clear crater]

Thx

[tender thicket]

look in the community folder in the game files

or that

[dawn pier]

hey guys,
just wanted to ask whether you have any information why NItrado isnt working?

[tender thicket]

Go ask them

[sturdy gust]

Waiting on the patch to release

Most likely

[sturdy gust]

Honestly, I wish people would ask their hosts directly 😄

[pure yacht]

I've tried searching and haven't found anything. Has anyone had an issue in 1.0 with destroying / deleting structures not syncing between client/server? It seem to only impact foundation / ramps and walls that were built in a previous session. Any foundation / walls I build and destroy in the same session are removed as expected. However, foundations/walls that were placed in a previous session are deleted server-side, but remain on the client until I relog. This is impacting multiple different clients connecting to the server.

[dawn pier]

ive got no anwer there...

[silver cedar]

still cant work, the server printed accept connection logs, but the game just cant connect to server

[tender thicket]

im in 2 minds abt it bc on one hand its the sensible thing to do but on the other hand we literally have heads of integration for certain hosts in this channel

[sturdy gust]

Well, it's the same answer for all hosts. They're mostly waiting on teh patch

[sturdy gust]

Yeah, that's true

[dawn pier]

ok thanks good to know!

[tender thicket]

But I still think the former is more sensible

[silver cedar]

-ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any how should i use these?

[tender thicket]

Give us more info abt what ur setup is. OS? Any virtualization? Stuff like that

[gilded moat]

Question for LFG posting, are we allowed to post discord links in the post for people that are hosting dedicated servers for players to join? I knew before we couldn’t but not sure if the 1.0 update changed that

[eager glade]

its still not working for me for some reason. im running the server on win10 and everything boots up but the API thing still doesnt load with the workaround

[sturdy gust]

Shoot me a message, I'll help when I can. So you're using WSL to run the Docker image, right?

[eager glade]

i dont use docker

[outer fossil]

then start

[sturdy gust]

Oh, apologies, so many people

[soft moss]

Still have the same issue

[sturdy gust]

Could you give your launch command?

Hard to recall

[gilded moat]

People could use a vm or boot Linux instead of windows and it would be much easier ;-;

[runic nacelle]

whats an exemple body to try for the API? like a default get/post request

[silver cedar]

I'm in China, server is Ali Server, OS is ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS, no virtualization

[eager glade]

FactoryServer.exe -ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any

[onyx crypt]

I've been bamboozled trying to get my docker image working and I appear to have stumbled across the discord channel with the right people

[sturdy gust]

Your system is probably blocking the port

Check Windows firewall for BOTH ports

It's 7777/tcp that's not working

[sturdy gust]

Shoot me a message if you need help! But check the pinned messages, and check the README on https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server

[outer fossil]

is it possible to host these servers on different ports?

[sturdy gust]

Yep

[outer fossil]

cool

[tender thicket]

Interesting, didnt know alibaba was in the cloud space. Make sure theyre port forwarding 7777 for both tcp and udp

[sturdy gust]

You mean the TCP and UDP ports separately?

No

You can change them together, not separately

[plain shoal]

Hey everyone, I have a issue on local dedicated server, I can’t start at onboarding phase, I only can on solo. Do you have some ideas ?

[outer fossil]

no, can i do 7777:7778, and then have someone connect to 7778?

[onyx crypt]

Will do, thank you. I've just got back from a holiday and I'm playing catch up

[sturdy gust]

You can just rebind the port

[tender thicket]

Are you using proxmox

[plain shoal]

( I use your docker compose wolveix)

[silver cedar]

i try again..

[plain shoal]

No

[outer fossil]

thats what i mean. some game servers hate when you do that

[sturdy gust]

Yeah, they do

I'd use the environment variable to change the underlying port

Then forward it as-is

[outer fossil]

hmm okay

[deep turret]

if you have questions about systemd unit templates for multi instance handling I have a working setup

[outer fossil]

actually that would be nice, can i dm?

[normal flicker]

Hello y'all, anyone happens to be running a dedicated server on ARM ?

[deep turret]

I have dm friend only

[outer fossil]

i dont think it supports arm

[plain shoal]

Nop

Only x86 windows or Linux

[tender thicket]

it doesnt work I believe

at least pre 1.0 didnt work on arm

[sturdy gust]

You can literally just set -e GAMESERVERPORT=7888 -p 7888:7888/tcp -p 7888:7888/udp

[outer fossil]

yeye, i figured, but wasnt sure if i could keep it the same on the container side

[blissful jolt]

anyone use gportal for satisfactory and can help me with some setup confusion im having?

[eager glade]

omg that did it! thank you i can finally play with my friends!

[proud falcon]

does anybody found the new server console they showed in the video ?=

[sturdy gust]

So pleased to hear it, friend!

[sturdy gust]

Not released yet

[proud falcon]

ah

ok why ß

?

[sturdy gust]

I'm not Coffee Stain, so? 😄

[proud falcon]

ok lol 😄 did he not said 1.0 ?

[sturdy gust]

They said shortly after

[tender thicket]

But you are the defacto mouthpiece for #dedicated-servers

so

[proud falcon]

ah ok

[tender thicket]

get to it boi

[normal flicker]

I mean there are emulators, the biggest trouble seems to be steamcmd surprisingly 😅

[sturdy gust]

Honestly true hahaha

[sweet gorge]

thats wrong it is available. "-newconsole" and then you get the new console

[sturdy gust]

Oh really? We were discussing it in here this morning

[sweet gorge]

If you want the new Console just attach "-newconsole" and it should appear

[plain shoal]

If you emulate how ?

[sturdy gust]

Cool, thanks for sharing!

[sturdy gust]

Don't attempt it

[fair orchid]

Hey guys! i just set updated my dedicated server i made in update 8 it seems to be working but i don't see the multiplayer pannel anymore?

[proud falcon]

do you guys feel better performance? we are playing with 2 on server since yesterday and its stillt laggy ... but RAM CPU ist only at 30% on my server

[dense temple]

Is there a site or service or anything that hosts these servers for people?

[fair orchid]

can't find the codes to invite my friends

[sturdy gust]

CPU single-core performance is very, very important for game servers

[plain shoal]

Why ?

[normal flicker]

QEMU, via binfmt I already have a linux x86 system being emulated on this oracle cloud instance, it's just that recently steamcmd seems to have broken something...

[sturdy gust]

Because it's a huge waste of time

[silver cedar]

OMG, thank you so much! @tender thicket

[tender thicket]

tons. Look at the history here and ppl have already discussed which ones are good and which ones arent

[tender thicket]

Glad I could help :D

[dense temple]

Checked the pins but didn't read up. Ty

[plain shoal]

I can try on m3 chip if you want

[sturdy gust]

Lol, have fun! 😄

[plain shoal]

That could be an answer for some people

[sturdy gust]

I could also test it right now, my main machine is an M3 Pro

[fair orchid]

wait do we need an epic login now for satisfactory?

[tender thicket]

Id be interested purely for research purposes

[sturdy gust]

But, lol

[tender thicket]

no?

[sturdy gust]

Definitely not

[plain shoal]

Ok xd

[fair orchid]

then why arent my server friend codes appearing anymore since 1.0?

[outer fossil]

is the image even compiled for arm?

[fair orchid]

i should have this

but now i have this

[normal flicker]

How do y'all get the satisfactory server game files on the arm machines though ? I'm seeing the same issue a few others seemed to experience... steamcmd just crashes on a random error (spotted on box86, qemu-user-static and docker on a m1 mac)

[tender thicket]

well yeah they changed that this patch

[outer fossil]

recompile

[normal flicker]

Screw debian then, time for bleeding edge... Seems to be some library that might've been fixed upstream

[fair orchid]

they changed how dedicated servers work?

[chrome pumice]

Is there a list of the new console commands/startup options?

[tender thicket]

yup

[outer fossil]

debian is bleeding edge. unless you want to bleed from the edge, then there is arch.

[normal flicker]

Yeah

[tender thicket]

i bleed when i edge

[sturdy gust]

Since when is Debian bleeding edge??

[fair orchid]

okay how does my friend join me now i went here but nothing is said https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e0629a772a987f4a8a9842

[silver cedar]

is there a script i can start server as service on linux system?

[sturdy gust]

They use the server manager, same as you

[tender thicket]

^

[sturdy gust]

If you're using Docker: https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server

Otherwise, FactoryServer.sh

[outer fossil]

generally considered as such. something that i would consider not such is like redhat

[fair orchid]

so i just give them my ip instead of a security code? that seems weird

[sturdy gust]

Debian is stable, not bleeding edge. Fedora is more like bleeding edge. RedHat is more enterprise stable, if you like

[sturdy gust]

How else would their clients know what to connect to?

[silver cedar]

not docker but a remote server

[sturdy gust]

Docker or steamcmd are both solid options 🙂

[tender thicket]

that bot said fuck u wolveix

[sturdy gust]

I did nothing

[silver cedar]

im using steamcmd on ubuntu22

[outer fossil]

that was to me

[fair orchid]

in update 8 they connected via a session id?

[tender thicket]

oh

[outer fossil]

i tried to post a link to debian dalies

[proud falcon]

so which server cpu would you say is best @sturdy gust

[sturdy gust]

Which don't reflect the distribution as a whole lol

[chrome pumice]

Do you have the game installed?

[proud falcon]

i can change .. 😄

[sturdy gust]

Very vague question, very vague answer 😄

Any CPU with strong single-threaded performance

Google can answer better than I can

[pure yacht]

I think this may be related to my issue where destroying walls / foundations doesn't sync between the dedicated server/client. But anytime I use MMB to try and sample a floor / wall that was placed in a previous session, it comes back with "Currently Building: N/A". It's not just my client that does this, either, it seems. Anyone ever experience this? Sampling/demolishing any other item other than a floor/wall seems to work.

[proud falcon]

ok thank you

[lavish magnet]

Anyone else still getting certificate confirmations with a LetsEncrypt cert? ISRG Root X1 is in the windows trusted root certification authorities.
Does satisfactory maintain their own list of cert authorities that doesn't have lets encrypt?

[silver cedar]

am i write it right?

[sturdy cosmos]

how do I interact with the console with the docker?

[chrome pumice]

I don't think you need -unattended on Linux. But I think the rest looks correct.

[plain shoal]

docker exec {docker id} -it /bin/bash

[hidden forge]

Does the server just plain not like being behind a reverse-proxy or what? Server works with direct connection but not if I want to go over the proxy. Everything in same LAN, no firewalls and adjusted to the new port

[sturdy gust]

Don't do this

Use the console from the server manager

[sturdy gust]

It does, but it's a bitch to configure it correctly

[plain shoal]

sry i think it was for go to the docker console

like the docker shell

[sturdy gust]

Ah, nah, I don't think that's what they meant 😄

Though, I could also be wrong haha

[sturdy cosmos]

not the container console, the Satisfactory console

Thanks @sturdy gust

[plain shoal]

you"re right xD

[civic lantern]

I have started to edit the https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers . So far I have removed material related to EA and started to put in what I know to be correct about 1.0. Those of you with knowledge please make edits, be bold.

[twin wagon]

How to update a steamcmd Server? Incase of an update to dedicated servers, does he update automatically when startet or do I have to execute an update command?

[lavish magnet]

is your reverse proxy something that only proxies http traffic?
If i'm not mistaken there's multiple protocols being served on the same port for this server (it binds to both UDP and TCP)

[chrome pumice]

Rerun your install command to update.

[onyx crypt]

Me wondering why my docker server isn't working when I've not been checking the "Re-pull image and redeploy" toggle whenever I update my stack

[twin wagon]

okey ty

[plush granite]

Will it overwrite files?

[dawn granite]

Do I need to change anything to get the server with ipv6 running? I am using the docker 1.7.4 on arch and can connect with ipv4 127.0.0.1 but using ::1 it disconnects when connecting to the game. I can configure the server in the server manager via ::1 though, so something is working.
And connecting to it from an external ipv6 gives me "failed to connect to server api" via the server manager, I checked the port forwarding with nc

[chrome pumice]

Only the game files that are new/changed. I have not lost any save files.

[sturdy gust]

Don't worry, it's only the 99th time I've told someone to update in the last 24 hours 🤣

[chrome pumice]

It works the same as updating the game client with steam.

[tough juniper]

It seems like IPv6 is broken atm. A lot of people waiting for a server update right now

[dawn granite]

ok, I was guessing that

[silver cedar]

which port should my friends use to join my server?

[sturdy cosmos]

Is there a bot that can remind people to check pinned?

[hidden forge]

Pure Nginx stream config

[hidden forge]

Anything hidden I need to consider?

[royal dove]

Weird question, but i guess you will only get this fancy windows when using a steam client, and not steamcmd? (And yes my server works fine, i like shiny things. :P)

[sturdy gust]

I don't have the details I'm afraid!

[woven venture]

i have lurked a lot but i finally got the docker thing to work, thx wolveix!

[sturdy gust]

With steamcmd, run the server with -newconsole apparently

[sturdy gust]

Thrilled to hear it! Have fun! 😄

[mighty nacelle]

again no multicore support ?

only one cores in use....

[pallid rivet]

just like any automation game. Comes down to determinism.

[royal dove]

Mine is burning Doggo`s like a madman: Depends on the size i guess.

[vapid mural]

Hi Wolveix, is there any chance you have the info to run the new console with Epic version ? (tried a .bat with -newconsole but it doens't seem to work)

[severe badge]

Like most games, Satisfactory is more reliant on a single main thread, though they have made some improvements to spreading tasks out to other cores. Single core performance is still the most impactful factor

[mighty nacelle]

its useless...

single game uses all cores.... ded use only one

:/

[outer fossil]

for me the game uses all available cores

[mighty nacelle]

yes single game

[royal dove]

Game is not Server 🙂

[lavish magnet]

you ever considered that the stuff the game is doing on those other cores the server doesn't have to

[outer fossil]

ahhhh soz, didnt know the server was in question

[tough juniper]

We're in the dedicated servers channel

[mighty nacelle]

^^

[royal dove]

Still beter then old one, i had a save which took the EA version 30 seconds to save, now it did it in 1 without hickups.

[outer fossil]

youd be surprised as to the amount of non-server talk in here

[languid crown]

Whats wrong with that?

[outer fossil]

nothing, it was a reply to the above

[languid crown]

oh

[untold finch]

for me, the server is using all cores from one physical cpu.. I have 2 x e5-2690v2.. it's not touching the first cpu, but it's using 20 cores on the 2nd.

[gleaming pike]

that's interesting.

[tacit oak]

has someone the correct startup line for pterodactyl, my servers not working, failed to connect to the server api

[hidden forge]

okay yeah, now i feel dumb. had the Dunning–Kruger effect work against me. though if i didn't specify a protocol it would work for both tcp and udp, but no, it's only tcp then. thanks for the hint!

[sturdy gust]

Pinned messages

[outer fossil]

honestly i cant even measure the impact of the server, its less than 1-2% cpu usage. i dont see why you would need a multicore setup for that.

[tacit oak]

cant create a game...

[lunar skiff]

Is there a fix yet for Windows Dedicated servers?

[pallid rivet]

./Engine/Binaries/Linux/*-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame ?listen -ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any $(if {{DISABLE_SEASONAL}}; then echo "-DisableSeasonalEvents"; fi) 172.17.0.1 this is mine

[quartz aurora]

nginx reverse proxy for the server itself? for a real ssl cert?

interesting

[tacit oak]

what does the ip at the end?

[hidden forge]

nginx doesn't handle the cert, just passes the traffic on in this case

[lyric wadi]

port forwarding on non docker linux server fixed our api issue

virtual network

[pallid rivet]

it's the default gateway of docker to the host, something "static" through any standard installation, nothing to do with the network specific system you have in place

[tacit oak]

ah ok

[quartz aurora]

Interesting, never thought of using nginx as a proxy for this

[glad sphinx]

Anyone can recommand a hosting service ?

[chrome pumice]

Has anybody used the -newconsole on Linux? I added it but I don't see a difference.

[tacit oak]

now my server is shown as offline xd

[quartz aurora]

Self hosting after the initial fixes has been going great

[glad sphinx]

Yeah i just can't host because shitty landlord

Won't give me access to my router port ect

[sturdy gust]

It adds a lot of unnecessary complexity

[rancid hornet]

how can I set a linux server for more then 4 players? I've set it in /FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini
I've added
[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=10

[pallid rivet]

I dont know what to tell you :x

maybe try without the IP at the end

[tacit oak]

do i have to open port 7777?

got custom ports

[pallid rivet]

ofc you have to with my command, as it doesnt overwrite the default

[gleaming pike]

what server manager is this? looks clean

[sturdy gust]

Whatever port you've passed as -Port, must be opened for both TCP and UDP

[tacit oak]

ok yeah ofc, now its running but i cant create a game

[sturdy gust]

Permissions issue 🙂

[chrome pumice]

Game.ini not Engine.ini

[proud falcon]

can i see server fps anywhere ?

[pallid rivet]

pterodactyl. But I would look into "pelican" if "new to the game", as this is the 2.0 version of pterodactyl. Just we dont want to bother updating on our end

[sturdy gust]

Or, add this to your server startup script:

-ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8

[tacit oak]

how to fix it? servers is mine

[dusty vortex]

#dedicated-servers message

[sturdy gust]

Depends on the OS

[rancid hornet]

where is it located, I have no Game.ini. should I make one?

[sturdy gust]

Yes, you can do that. Or, add this to your server startup script:

-ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8

[chrome pumice]

Neat didn't know it could be a startup option. Wish they would release a list of all of these.

[faint wagon]

Any know if you can get achievements on dediservers or is that only for local/singleplayer?

[sturdy gust]

Yeah, that'd be nice!

[tacit oak]

mine or the one from the server?
mine is win 11

[sturdy gust]

Server

[chrome pumice]

Have you started the server and created a save yet? I think it's generated on first creation.

[tacit oak]

its a pterodactyl egg, so runs on linux

[sturdy gust]

Check the perms of the mounted directory

[chrome pumice]

It's located in the same directory as the Engine.ini

[rancid hornet]

yes

[tacit oak]

how can i do this?

[rancid hornet]

I don't see it

I'll make a new file

I have Engine.ini and GameUserSettings.ini

should I add it to GameUserSettings

[chrome pumice]

It's kind of odd that it didn't get created. I have about 20 different .ini files in that directory.

[chrome pumice]

No only Game.ini

[dim finch]

I would reinitiate the SteamCMD download, could be an incomplete install

[sturdy gust]

Not sure about the egg specifically, but you presumably pass it a user to run as (or it assumes the user from you, being the user that ran it). Ensure that wherever your files live, that they're owned by that user

[remote karma]

where do I kick players?

[chrome pumice]

I think all the .ini files get created on loading into a save new/old.

[sturdy gust]

It depends, sometimes Game.ini isn't there

[tacit oak]

normally they are bc its managed by steamcmd

[chrome pumice]

Weird I have never had that happen to me.

[rancid hornet]

I can just nano Game.ini with just [/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8 ?

[deft dawn]

I hope soon is soon 🤪

[sturdy gust]

Haha, I encounter weird things all the time from people running my container 😄 Different environments can be wild

[sturdy gust]

No, if you were to use the file, it should look like this:

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=8

[wide mason]

Any news on if they fixed the server not showing online yet.

[rancid hornet]

well yes. with new line ofc

[sturdy gust]

That's an environment issue on your end

It's been working since the workaround was released last night

[chrome pumice]

One of the pins in here fixed that issue for me.

Adding a startup option.

[sturdy gust]

That's the workaround

[kind terrace]

After much messing around I got it to work! I do have another question though. How do I increase the player count from 4 if I installed via SteamCMD?

[wide mason]

Ok maybe I’m miss understanding. Last night when I tried it showed not online. Did satisfactory fix it on there side or is the work around needed to bypass the issue

[sturdy gust]

Glad it's working! Read above, someone just asked 😄

[sturdy gust]

They provided a workaround, please read the pinned messages in this channel

[wide mason]

Thanks

[kind terrace]

Lol, thanks for reminding me how discord works 😂

[south current]

I hope this patch drops soon.

[sturdy gust]

The workaround works in the meantime

[jovial nova]

Would you know why it gets removed if I start the server?

[south current]

Cant do anything with it cos of hosting company

[sturdy gust]

Game perms, bit of a funny one. Mark it as readonly in perms, or pass it as a launch parameter (as mentioned above)

[sturdy gust]

Ah yeah, sucks 😦

[south current]

yeah don't have access to the files needed to do the workaround

If i was any good with Linux and had a vps as well as a dedicated server I would have had Pterodactyl setup

[cold rune]

Wondering if anyone else has tried running both the server and client on the same computer and had any issues. I start the server up, the game client can see it and I can play. When I leave the game to eitehr the menu or back to desktop. The client cannot connect to the server manager again, it stays offline. If I restart the dedicated server, the game client is able to connect again.

[sturdy gust]

Yes, it's a known bug

[cold rune]

Great, thanks!

[sturdy gust]

It's pretty easy to get going with Docker, but it's probably easier to just wait for your host 🙂

[south current]

yeah I had Ptero on previous dedicated server that someone setup for me was easy to setup servers

I used AMP after as that was easy to setup

[chrome pumice]

The steamcmd wiki is pretty good then the satisfactory.wiki.gg has a good page on starting up a server.

[pallid rivet]

pterodactyl is a glorified docker manager. Really you should stick to plain docker if the intend is to only do it yourself. If on the other hand, you intend to "share" the server to other fellow gamers, then pterodactyl comes in handy so that you dont just give out full access to anyone

[south current]

yeah It's just me on the server mainly different Minecraft servers running

[native pond]

Would really love the ability to query the state of different blueprints via the HTTP API. My goal is to publish the current blueprint progress in a Discord channel or when a milestone/blueprint is completed.

[charred atlas]

NOTE: you have to specifically run the "quit" command on the server console in order for the game server itself to generate Game.ini. Save game or just exiting the game is NOT sufficient. If you create your own, it will be overwritten! Let the server generate it, and then edit it.

[toxic nimbus]

Hello ! my friend and i tried to create a serv with steam cmd but when i try to join it says offline :/

[chrome pumice]

Are the ports forwarded?

[pallid rivet]

pterodactyl is really the first step of industrialisation of game server management. I dont think alot of ppl are actually in need of such system. Kind of impressed it's even open source.
If you just have like 3-4 servers, then I would personnaly stick to docker cmds, maybe docker swarm if you really want to physically bind your servers to a maximum of resources

[toxic nimbus]

firewall yes

[chrome pumice]

Looks like you are connecting with an internal IP so the matchine that is running the server is probably blocking with its own firewall.

[tender thicket]

Im really excited for pelicans plugin system

that will definitely make me jump ship

[rancid hornet]

ohhh ok. thank you

[native pond]

Disagree. It's very nice to be able to easily run multiple containers without having to dig into docker. IP allocations, eggs, shared administration, easy console. Setup is just clunky for the less technical.

[toxic nimbus]

thx i will try to investigate ^^

[tender thicket]

if u dockerize it then the setups not even terrible (docker in docker lul)

[strange fulcrum]

damn pterodactyl looks nice. i usually write my own managing scripts for my game servers. running palworld / satisfactory / 7 days to die. wrote a memory manager to reboot them when their ram use gets too high / auto backups / etc

[south current]

At the minute as I don't know Linux much I'm running a dedicated server with Debian 11 and Gameserver interface. That's why I don't have access to files to do the workaround.

I just wish years ago when I messed around with Linux Mint I actually did more things with it.

[tender thicket]

never too late to start learning bro

[clear crater]

its nice when you need to manage 2 or more machines... there is other things one could use but would classify petro on the easier end.

[south current]

I liked Ptero cos of the panel and the eggs were easy enough to add

[chrome pumice]

What gameserver interface?

[obsidian plinth]

Any advice for getting an epic hosted dedicated server to be externally visible? Ports are forwarded.

[south current]

Dunno it's just what they have

[tender thicket]

whos they

a friend?

or a hosting co

[south current]

zap-hosting

[chrome pumice]

Make sure the machine it's being hosted on doesn't have a firewall blocking anything. Also is it just offline or do you see an error?

[toxic nimbus]

well it didnt worked :/

[distant flame]

If you're running the dedicated server on the same computer you're playing, why does closing the game close the server? lol They're seperate exe's

[tender thicket]

it doesnt normally

[toxic nimbus]

i see the serv offline

[tender thicket]

u prob have a misconfig

[obsidian plinth]

Shows as offline when going through my Ipv4, but online when using loopback - firewall allows it on router and localhost
Although console says this : LogHttpListener: Error: Error accepting expected connection [0] SE_NO_ERROR

[distant flame]

I don't know what to change in the config to change that behavior 😦

[sturdy gust]

Summarises the majority of my messages here in the past 24 hours 😆

[restive citrus]

no, it's a legitimate problem that a lot of users are having. and it's not limited to dedicated on the same pc or even network. server owner disconnect is killing the server on exit

[midnight seal]

[tender thicket]

Wolveix is 2 repeated questions away from blowing a gasket

[toxic nimbus]

Why does zap only have info for the windows vms not for Linux. Also it seems to show command line stuff for windows I would assume it has the same things for you Debian instance.
