[thick tusk]

ahhh ty

[steady jolt]

Hello I am getting the error "You need to be authenticated to see this information" when connecting to my server.

• Windows host
• I have UDP and TCP port 7777 forwarded for my router
• I have Windows firewall rules enabled to allow in/outbound UDP/TCP 7777; turning off client and server firewalls didn't fix it
• attempted running with simply double clicking server executable
• attempted running with ./FactoryServer.exe
• attempted running with ./FactoryServer.exe -ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any
• attempted running with ./Factoryserver.exe -log -unattended -newconsole
• attempted deleting ServerSettings.7777.sav and rerunning server

Anything else I should try?

[thick tusk]

holy crap...that added a...LOT of new files

[topaz scarab]

lol are you guys still killing the server process with sigterm

[lost frost]

Since dedicated servers start at Tier2, if my buddy and I start there, will we miss any important story

[candid lantern]

Dedicated Server - More than 4 players fix not working?

Tried the fix on the Wiki, although I am running a headless server on my windows home server. There is no file in the temp folder. I have to navigate to the root folder and find the file. I saved as read only after adding the line. Still only shows 4/4 and the 5th player cannot join. Anyone have any ideas?

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=X

[chrome pumice]

add -log -unattended and -newconsole . A windows user earlier said it would only work with those added.

[quick mist]

SIGTERM tells the OS to tell the server process "go away now" but not as forcefully as SIGKILL. Use the quit console command or the REST API to gracefully shut the server down.

[chrome pumice]

Not the temp folder.

[candid lantern]

Yeah, also the file name has changed. Its now GameUserSettings.ini

[chrome pumice]

SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\Game.ini is the file you want

[chrome pumice]

No Game.ini

[candid lantern]

This is for a dedicated server correct?

[chrome pumice]

Yes. If you don't have Game.ini in that location follow this: 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.

[candid lantern]

My folder is in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer

ohhhh

damn.. okay, weird.

[chrome pumice]

SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\ should have about 20 different .ini files if everything is working correctly.

[topaz scarab]

oh you guys are running windows, good luck

[chrome pumice]

Yeah that is correct for windows.

[candid lantern]

so, go into the console and type quit. It should generate more files?

[steady jolt]

rip no dice

[chrome pumice]

Yeah.

[candid lantern]

okay, im going to try it.

i will report back in a few

[chrome pumice]

Unluckly. That was just what somebody said this morning.

[thick tusk]

so how is everyone editing the exe file to remove multihome?

[quick mist]

no one is altering the executable. -multihome is an argument that was useful in the previous versio which is no longer supported.

it will be fixed in an upcoming patch hopefully today.

[chrome pumice]

its not in the .exe you add it to the .exe on a command line.

[pallid sierra]

Is there an updated wiki for 1.0 servers? I'd like to update my configs with anything relevant.

[thick tusk]

ahh. I dont have it then. So its not the reason for the incoming players api issues then

[chrome pumice]

People have been updating the wiki.gg page but not a lot has been updated.

[quick mist]

the most common cause for a "could not connect to the API" error is not having opened TCP port 7777

[pallid sierra]

I thought there was supposed to be updated documentation from the devs???

[thick tusk]

I guess I could seperate it from Both to tcp and upd to be safe..

[chrome pumice]

To fix the API issue check the third pinned message here.

[chrome pumice]

It does need both.

[quick mist]

there is API documentation included with the game client

[thick tusk]

added that to engine.ini will try

[chrome pumice]

I hope you got the format correct because that line should be added to your startup command.

[ruby mirage]

My friend is getting couldnt connect to server failed to connect to the server api, why would this be

we are on the network

[chrome pumice]

Are you also getting that?

[thick tusk]

you know...you all keep saying that. But I do not have anywhere to type that for a startup command. I can not edit the exe that contains all that

[quick mist]

on the server firewall have you opened TCP/7777?

[chrome pumice]

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

[candid lantern]

Thank you very much man.... It worked.

[chrome pumice]

Do you understand what I mean now?

[acoustic pecan]

does anyone know the reason behind why theres no intro on dedicated servers?

[chrome pumice]

Only the devs know the answer to that.

[acoustic pecan]

ahh ok - was wondering if it was covered on a stream or anything

[deep turret]

the reason is it's multiplayer

[acoustic pecan]

in the multiplayer did it not show?

iirc it did

[deep turret]

and intro is changing some things with the game, like enabling codex, enabling build mode etc.. progressively

so it's hard to implement right

when multiple people can be connected in the same game

[acoustic pecan]

so why did it work with multiplayer and not dedi servers

[deep turret]

now the tier 2 thing is probably more of a bug

[acoustic pecan]

yeah it is and confirmed as a known bug

[deep turret]

could you connect to the game as soon as the other person was into space ?

[thick tusk]

no. Show me a picture

[chrome pumice]

How do you start the game right now?

[acoustic pecan]

I think you could only connect after the intro

I cant remember

(just want to see the intro if theres changes there haha)

[deep turret]

yep then that can't work on the dedicated server for obvious reasons

[thick tusk]

the dedicated server? Using steam.

and adding -ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any to the launch options there made no difference

[deep turret]

do as I did : start your game on local, then upload

[chrome pumice]

You need to open powershell and run the line send above.

[tacit flax]

bro

[thick tusk]

ahh wait...I think I see the issue..

[tacit flax]

W H Y

[thick tusk]

ipv6 kicks over to 7778\

[deep turret]

Nin go inside the satisfactory directory

[inner idol]

all you still tryin to start 1.0 and im here on tier 4

[chrome pumice]

Are you in the correct directory?

[tacit flax]

i shoud be

[deep turret]

you can do ls to check

and it should also show on the prompt

[tacit flax]

Permission denied 😭

[inner idol]

sudo su

[deep turret]

you just mixed up your users

[tacit flax]

When I switch users, I’m still in the same route I don’t know what’s happening

[lunar abyss]

Anyone having a problem where the server stops working after a player disconnects? (no crash logs or anything, just zero output but clients now see the server as offline and all players are kicked

[devout thistle]

guys what are the common fixes for when I can connect to my server thru local IP but not public IP?

[regal marsh]

#dedicated-servers message

[devout thistle]

been trying stuff I find online for 90 minutes now

[frosty gale]

port forward + firewall exception

[devout thistle]

double checked

7777 udp+tcp

[neon junco]

Hi. I am looking for world save that can stress out server. Benchmarking etc. Is anything like that exists? Most updated was some post from more than 2 years ago.

[tacit flax]

its all thare

[inner idol]

start building basthimreth

[tacit flax]

Steam is the secondary user

[deep turret]

then go there

cd SatisfactoryDedicatedServer

[neon junco]

@inner idol will do, but I would like to be able to benchmark server first.

[inner idol]

Im sure your server will be fine! there are much better becnhmarks out can use to stress test your server

Google is your friend!

[neon junco]

I am aware of server benchmark. I need specifically to test it with Satisfactory.

[inner idol]

all saves you will find are old as this new 1.0 is just that NEW you will not find heavy saves YET

[deep turret]

your not on the steam user

[devout thistle]

there's creative mode in the game now so technically you can just start a local save and build the factory of your nightmares then upload that

[tacit flax]

what am i in?????

[devout thistle]

also bump

[tacit flax]

thats what i get when i su steam

[frosty gale]

still probably a network issue

[devout thistle]

yea that fits

but I'm clawing a hole into my scalp trying to figure out what exactly I have wrong

[frosty gale]

did you do like a canyouseeme.org test

[ruby mirage]

where can I see the server start args on epic games server

[storm sapphire]

Anyone managed to find a workaround yet for the foundation/walls desyncing so they are destroyed but client says it exists, only a relog fixes it but it's frequent and I've yet to find a workaround to stop it happening with fundamental foundations! There also seems to be a desync on some belts occasionally which reminds me of the update 8 bug which took a while to resolve but did finally get fixed.

[devout thistle]

oh

says timed out...

[frosty gale]

well

[devout thistle]

can you walk me thru what the port forwarding looks like again friend

windows

[frosty gale]

what router os do you have

[devout thistle]

wats a router os

[frosty gale]

ok fine what router do you have then

[deep turret]

you're not in steam home either then

[tacit flax]

Am I using the incorrect command?

[devout thistle]

uhh

[frosty gale]

did you even port forward

[devout thistle]

something I'm not allowed to mess with cos it ain't mine (I'm a tenant)

[frosty gale]

then how are you port forwarding

[deep turret]

do cd
then cd SatisfactoryDedicatedServer

[tacit flax]

Should I just do it in my main user?

[deep turret]

when using steam

you installed under steam user right ?

[tacit flax]

It is yes

[tacit flax]

OK, I did both of these

I have no output from either of them. What do I do next?

[deep turret]

chmod ..

[devout thistle]

I may have assumed my firewall exception is port forwarding

[thick tusk]

yea. sorry. not getting it. thanks anyways.

[deep turret]

inst what you wanted ?

[frosty gale]

is your landlord a big company/university or just like some guy

[devout thistle]

some auntie pushing 60 so I dun really want to bother her with tech stuff

[crystal bridge]

i know dedicated servers reboot every24hrs, is it possible to change the time? it seems to reboot every 8pmEST and would love to just change the time to like 3am

[tacit flax]

OMG IT WORKS

THANK YOU

[devout thistle]

lemme just try to figure this out on my own again bb in an hour

[tacit flax]

Or at least I got an output

lol

[violet gull]

Hey, does someone have a chonky mid to late game save file working in 1.0 that I can use to test my dedicated server? It's running on a potato PC and it looks fine with an empty world but I'm not sure how far into the game it will take me.

[deep turret]

Nin you probably should learn commandline
it would be easier for everyone it's not satisfactory specific at all

cd is to navigate directories

[tacit flax]

I’ve been thinking about it. I love messing around with servers and stuff.

[frosty gale]

do you know who your isp is, itll say if you do like a speedtest.net test

[violet gull]

I think you'd have to manually start it at the time you want it to reboot, and it will be 24 hours after that from that point forward.

[devout thistle]

eya that one's easy

what's that gotta do with this tho

you mean I can contact the isp for ports?

[frosty gale]

just in case

no

i mean probably

but not for that

[tacit flax]

I’m still getting the issue in game. Should I restart the satisfactory server?

[devout thistle]

mm

[tacit flax]

It didn’t bind to the port

[frosty gale]

whats your isp i guess

[deep turret]

I mean
you struggled with directory
you struggled with user access
now you talk about shutting down server I'm scared

[tacit flax]

😭

[devout thistle]

bell canada

[chrome pumice]

PowerShell is a windows program. Just windows key and search powershell. Then nagivate over to the directory the .exe is in and run the command I made above.

[deep turret]

check it's not already running

[frosty gale]

shit

i think theyre not good for this

uh

[devout thistle]

:worry:

[tacit flax]

On it

[frosty gale]

do ipconfig in cmd and check your default gateway
if you type the ip it shows into your browser you should see your router login page and it might have default username and password

[tacit flax]

It’s running

[devout thistle]

nope

ain't admin or password at least, what other default pw is there

[frosty gale]

whats the page

send a pic

[deep turret]

if you want to launch it with specific settings you'll have to shut it down first

[tacit flax]

So I should stop the server then run that command again

[devout thistle]

pretty sure this is like app-bound or sth tbh

so yea I think I'm cooked

[frosty gale]

default username and password is supposedlt just admin

[deep turret]

"that command"
what command ?

[devout thistle]

yea tried that

[manic sand]

what does someone need to join my windows/steam dedicated server?
i tried giving him my ip according to whatismyipaddress but he is getting an error.
I thought the only problems with windows servers were limited to the socket closing when the host leaves...

[thick tusk]

yup. no good. Files have the (x86) in the folder name and power shell is freaking out over it.

[tropic void]

My server seems to be getting horrible lag and rubberbanding the further away players are from each other. I've played with a few things so far to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this before, and if so, how did you solve it? I'm 80% sure it's to do with my network

[frosty gale]

what error

[quick mist]

they need to add your server to the Server Manager in their client and connect from there

[deep turret]

check forwarding

[tacit flax]

sorry, not command; ./FactoryServer.sh -ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any

[manic sand]

having him try again to see

[frosty gale]

shoot

[manic sand]

that's what he's trying. it just says the server is offline...

[quick mist]

BANG!

[frosty gale]

thats about it

[manic sand]

the ports are forwarded properly on the machine running the server.

i was told several times i didn't need to do it for each individual machine attempting to connect

[frosty gale]

I think this guys off the ballot for a self hosted server

[deep turret]

ok that's right and , yes it's a command

[frosty gale]

without physical access idk if theres anything else I can do

[topaz scarab]

can he hit it from the web browser

[devout thistle]

[tacit flax]

thanks lol

[devout thistle]

thanks for the help tho

[frosty gale]

sorry man, nothing you can do without port forwarding
unless you want to have you and your friends use something like hamachi or zerotier vpn

actually I think that playit.gg guy has like remote proxy you can use for this kinda stuff too

maybe not idk

[winged geode]

if im just playing with 2 people, should i get a dedicated server? I remember the last time we tried, trains were kinda jank. has this been fixed in 1.0?

[frosty gale]

oh goodie my graphics card drivers need updating

[crystal bridge]

depends on if yall will only play when you are on together

[winged geode]

no, prob will play solo sometimes

[crystal bridge]

if people will play solo the only way is a dedicated server instead of them joining on your game

[leaden halo]

Is it the (on epic store) Dedicated Experimental that has the new Unreal GUI? I cant seem to find the GUI version of the Dedi servers

[frosty gale]

its not default yet

you need to use -newconsole arg

[mighty patio]

Hi @sturdy gust just curious the VM just restarted about 12 minutes ago. Not sure if this was something on your side our mine. But the players got a 2 minute warning, so must be something in the VM?

[winged geode]

okay cool, ty.

Do dedicated servers have working vehicles?

[frosty gale]

yes?

[crystal bridge]

I never had any issues with them with 1-10people on my early access server

[leaden halo]

Amazing. Tysm!

[winged geode]

ah okay. mustve been an issue just we had

thanks for the help!

[quasi epoch]

Any threads I could be pointed to regarding external players unable to connect?
I have the server running on one pc on my network, and I can connect via a second PC locally. My buddy gets an Encryption token missing when loading from "Join Game", and "Server Manager" doesn't work for them either (from what we've seen it just continuously spins loading).
Gave them my public IP, and ports 7777 & 7778 are open and on both protocols.

[frosty gale]

they need to use server manager

Join Game is not supposed to work

[quasi epoch]

good to know, thanks ^^

[frosty gale]

did you port forward 7777 as udp and tcp

[crystal bridge]

not a problem, i also have custom built server that has 64GB ram and like 40TB of storage that i host a lot of stuff on so it has beef

[quasi epoch]

yup, both udp and tcp, for both ports 7777 and 7778

[winged geode]

damn thats a big machine

[frosty gale]

assuming you checked the ports with like canyouseeme.org and such then im not sure

it should just load after they add it to server manager

[quasi epoch]

handy site, I get a success for 7777, error for 7778. I'll pass this over to my buddy and see what they get.
Thanks!

[frosty gale]

7778 is not required

[pallid sierra]

Is it possible to have the landing cutscene on a server?

[frosty gale]

not as of now

devs are considering implementing it

[tacit flax]

ccd

[pallid sierra]

Any recommended settings you guys think I should change on my server?

[manic sand]

@frosty gale this is what his screen looks like when he adds my IP as a server...

[crystal bridge]

did you claim the server?

[manic sand]

i am currently connected to the server, so yes

[frosty gale]

I guess have them delete and readd the server

otherwise make sure youre forwarded on 7777 udp and tcp and that they can be access externally

[pallid sierra]

Have them try and ping the ip you gave as a first check

[manic sand]

i have TCP 7777 forwarded on my machine, and UDP 15777

[frosty gale]

you need both

15777 doesnt do anything

[pallid sierra]

both TCP/UDP 7777

[manic sand]

ahhh, i'm fucked then. spectrum won't let me forward 7777 on UDP it's not enough digits

[frosty gale]

everyone getting fucked by spectrum

is it their modem/router

put that shit in bridge mode and buy something good

actually what am I thinking you can change your game port

make it something spectrum will allow both on

@manic sand \

[crystal bridge]

got me that Ubiquiti unifi prosumer stack

[frosty gale]

I should probably go unifi

but for now its pfsense and 2 netgear aps

[manic sand]

we got it to work.
the IP that whatismyip gave me was not the one we needed to join the server apparently...

[tacit flax]

Super weird

[crystal bridge]

do you have an in browser vpn?

[manic sand]

no, no vpn at all.

[tacit flax]

I ran the I ran the command again with the server off the API issue was gone, but server appears to be off-line was there instead I start the server and now the API issues back

[frosty gale]

it was probably his ipv6

[civic geyser]

so I have a mini pc with an intel n100 - running proxmox - does anyone have satisfactory running in an lxc? Wondering if it can handle it

[manic sand]

am i exposing anything life threatening if i post the IPs here? haha

[frosty gale]

unlikely

[hollow jewel]

I will join your server and steal all your doggos

[crystal bridge]

unless you self host other stuff

[manic sand]

this is the IP shown to me by both whatismyip and canyouseeme: 45.37.32.227
this is my ipv4 according to my computer's ethernet connection settings: 192.168.1.150

the latter is the one that worked, the former did not.

[frosty gale]

what

[hollow jewel]

the other person is on the same network then?

[frosty gale]

you gave him your local ip and it worked

[pallid sierra]

Public Ip and Local are different

[manic sand]

yeah, he's in the same house. so I guess that's why.

[frosty gale]

dawg

you can go close those ports then

[hollow jewel]

^ adviseable to do so, as long as no one is joining from the outside

[manic sand]

doubt anyone will be joining from the outside, this shit is borked beyond all understanding. hahaha

every other game we've played it's been a 5 minute setup.
this has been over 24 hours of headache. LOL

[hollow jewel]

skill issue 😉

[frosty gale]

I just keep windows firewall off

[quasi epoch]

Just to update about my issue, it was just and issue on my friends end, they didn't have Satisfactory allowed in their firewall. After opening that up they could connect. Simple enough!

[manic sand]

ahhh, well now we are victims of the OTHER dedicated server problem. we are at t2 with no hub supplies. hahaha

[crystal bridge]

first person to join should auto get hub supplies

[frosty gale]

I spawned with supplies I think

[manic sand]

neither of us have them...

[frosty gale]

did you die

[manic sand]

i've been on the server for all of 30 seconds. LOL

[fair berry]

has ther been any updates on the server api not connecting?

[manic sand]

will delete the save and try to load a new one.

[twilit fox]

so no patch today ig sad.

[frosty gale]

7777 tcp and udp

[fair berry]

right that is already open on my firewall but i can't even hit locally

[frosty gale]

server hosted on windows?

[fair berry]

linux

[frosty gale]

docker or bare metal

[fair berry]

bare

for now

[frosty gale]

hmm

[topaz scarab]

post logs

[frosty gale]

yea probably didnt bind to socket or something

or theres still a firewall that needs excepting

[topaz scarab]

also if you're restarting the service a ton i've found it to be kinda fucky at times, causing port issues

[topaz scarab]

lgtm, definitely firewall or port forward

[twilit fox]

$ ufw disable and then try.

[unreal crystal]

alright working on tier 4 and i officially broke my dedi server as soon as i unlock blueprints

[fair berry]

same message

[unreal crystal]

😭 went to clear the blueprint manager and the server + game crashes; i log back in; forced into a different character. it's all fuckered

[frosty gale]

most stable 1.0 experience

[quick mist]

"I'm having trouble with my car's brakes." "Try taking off your seatbelt"

[frosty gale]

more like "my car wont idle" "try pinning it to full throttle"

[fair berry]

lol

[hollow jewel]

Full throttle and ignore the noise 👍🏻 that's how I fix my shitboxes

[frosty gale]

my friend can't build or anything in our server

idk if it is server related or game related

maybe hes just not trying hard enough

bruh

i dunno man at this point we should just list all the things that do work on dedicated server

[quick mist]

..the APIs work 😄

[frosty gale]

sometimes

you can download it

that works

someone working or automated

the world may never know

[unreal crystal]

i built a single tractor and it was laggy and i was the only player on it.

also standing on it was ill advised

sorry; lazy pings

[upbeat gorge]

Is there a command for spawning items?

[frosty gale]

no

you need to enable advanced game settings for the save to do that

and then everyone gets creative mode

why the game doesnt have an option to limit that to admins we'll never know

[upbeat gorge]

Can we define one person? I mean. What kind of magic is cast by one person? Something like this isn't for everyone.

[frosty gale]

most sane dedicated server user

[upbeat gorge]

This means I won't be able to do anything like use commands to manage people or summon and spawn items in events, only host.

[frosty gale]

not even host

theres no ability to kick or ban users

manage admins

prevent all users from accessing creative options (if enabled)

no commands to spawn items or anything

[upbeat gorge]

Oh, I have the server up and running. We're just looking for a way to spawn items, so we've chosen a high-level server because the game is likely to consume the specs.

[upbeat gorge]

Oh, what a shame.

[frosty gale]

enable advanced game settings if you want that

[unreal crystal]

i was expecting a weeeeeeeee bit more for the 1.0 release and talking up the dedi servers being no longer experimental. so many potential adjustments.

Can't even change the resource gen

[upbeat gorge]

I have turned on advanced settings. We can't customize much.

Unable to adjust resource multiplication or creative menus that can spawn items

[frosty gale]

theres a spawn item menu in advanced game settings

or you can turn on no cost

[chrome pumice]

I don't know about this patch but last patch you had to create a solo save with advanced game setting turned on then upload it to the server to all the advanced game setting to work correctly.

[unreal crystal]

you can at least toggle it on and off live from my tests on the server settings page

[upbeat gorge]

We open the advanced settings, whichever You mean game mode?

[frosty gale]

not there

[topaz scarab]

one tab to the left

[upbeat gorge]

Is this right?

[frosty gale]

in manage saves for the server, load the save with advanced game settings enabled

then in game you can find those settings in the pause menu

[upbeat gorge]

Is this a record?

[frosty gale]

go to load save

[upbeat gorge]

Yes, we have arrived.

We have already pressed advanced settings.

Do we have to go into the game and set up the settings?

[frosty gale]

load came with advanced gfame settings enabledf

[naive mirage]

Hey all! Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but my friends are running a NON-dedicated server, and I'm not able to join. We have more than 4 players in the group, so the host & I have followed the config modification instructions found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/b4fvzb/how_to_have_more_than_4_people_in_multiplayer_in/

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=X

Two main questions in particular:

1. Do ALL members of the server need to modify config in order for this to work?
2. Are there any known issues with 4+ player lobbies since the 1.0 release yesterday?
   Also, if this isn't the right channel to ask this question, please direct me so that I'm not flooding the wrong spot. Thanks! 🙂

[frosty gale]

maybe
no new problems

also this is probably for #1038092680493801533

[naive mirage]

Sounds great. Thanks!

[upbeat gorge]

Is there a link to how to do it or a VDO explaining how to spawn items or something like that?

[frosty gale]

oh dear lord above

[frosty gale]

push this button

join the server

press escape

click advanced game settings

go to spawn items

[gusty rampart]

Is there any way to handle ghost buildings / objects on a server? There are belts and cables that we have placed or deleted that sometimes are only partially there. For example, a belt that technically works (items move across it) but its invisible, and cannot be targeted for upgrading/dismantling. In another case, we have a cable that was deleted, but the constructor and power pole still are maxed on connections because the wire is fake "still there"

[frosty gale]

restart the server I guess

[gusty rampart]

Does not help

Already tried

[frosty gale]

wait until patch i guess

[solemn bane]

I know the story exists in multiplayer (with caveats); but does it exist on dedicated servers? I ask because I started one with a fresh save and it spawned me directly on the planet (skipping the drop pod cinematic); and it skipped the tutorial. That in and of itself is not an issue; but I didn't want to go several hours in a save before finding out story doesn't work on servers specifically.

[frosty gale]

dedicated servers start on tier 2

I have no idea what story this game has but ADA messages are still there

[civic lantern]

I can say that most progression of tiers and research are played for all players that are online at the time

For one thing, I forget what, it stopped playing for me, and continued for my son

[tulip sparrow]

I think they answered this in a video. Certain story events are one trigger and cause a voice over for everyone on the server at that time. Some can be discovered individually (like an item in a cave or something) and each player can do them at their own leisure and get the story. But if you do a global story event (like completing a space elevator tier or something like that) and someone is not on the server then they basically miss that event.

[winged geode]

which hosting side do yall use?

[frosty gale]

my friend is crashing continiously on our server

[gleaming pike]

The hub is only iron ore if you spawn without it. It's not hard to get

It's no longer 'hub parts'

[latent night]

What does it mean if items are waiting like a single frame before entering a machine/container?

[half wind]

I don't know how it used to work but I did just that and it did indeed work with the custom stuff (pre 1.0)

[gleaming pike]

get them to update their drivers if they have not already, if that doesn't work then verify game files.

[civic lantern]

something is on the belt that the machine doesn't accept, just out of sight. delete the belt and remake it

[latent night]

Like it accepts it after a frame. All items are just delayed. (including splitters and mergers)

[civic lantern]

the machine is almost nearly full?

[latent night]

Empty

[civic lantern]

beats me

[lost widget]

Sorry, quite new to this Steamcmd stuff but why is the Factoryserver.exe is install different location than I what I intended to install to? Did I mess up or is it okay to just roll with it?

[frosty gale]

steamcmd does not accept spaces in directory names

try quotations around the entire path

otherwise tough luck

[topaz scarab]

quotations should work

[lost widget]

@frosty gale@topaz scarab Alright, it works, thanks!

[topaz scarab]

remember to delete the extra copies
or don't

[lost widget]

Yeah I think I will, hopefully I didn't delete the wrong ones...

[edgy pasture]

Looking at the most popular post on the QA site for dedicated servers from the last few days(other than the API thing that has workarounds), the dedicated server starting at tier 2 with no onboarding is something that happens, despite options being present to not skip onboarding. https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e07c9e772a987f4a8a9c1e

According to the wiki, the planetfall sequence only happens for the host. https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Drop-pod

So... based on this information, is the way to actually experience the full beginning of the game in multiplayer with onboarding something like this?

1. Everyone watch the planetfall sequence in their own single player game.

2. Host player opens their game up to multiplayer after exiting the pod, and then other players join and play through until Tier 2 is unlocked.

3. Host player uploads the gamesave to the dedicated server and loads it, and everyone joins and plays from there as usual.

Am I overcomplicating or missing anything?

[frosty gale]

sure I guess

[edgy pasture]

It's a convoluted workaround path... but at least it works... I think.

[frosty gale]

the solution may be wait until patch

for the most part

[edgy pasture]

That requires patience.

lol

[frosty gale]

Players starting at tier 2 on Dedicated Servers 

Players are currently starting off at tier 2 upon entering the game on Dedicated Servers, skipping past tier 1. We’re currently looking into limiting the skipped parts of the game on Dedicated Servers to the intro sequence only (tier 0), and possibly even enabling players to experience tier 0 on Dedicated Servers as well.  ```

heres to hope

[chrome pumice]

neat

[vocal kelp]

Hi people that are much smarter then me, im giving running a server for me and my friends a go, of all the methods ive chosen to run it on a mv through oracle cloud following a tut for getting a server running but at the last step i get this error
{"exitcode": 1, "message": "Data must be in JSON-format"}
https://youtu.be/5zbgzSgy5XM

ive attached the full log for those that know how to read it

[frosty gale]

is your oracle node arm or x86

[vocal kelp]

x86

[frosty gale]

and you get that error in game?

[vocal kelp]

na in the cmd

[frosty gale]

that sounds like an api error

i dont see how thats even possible from the console

can we get the actual server log

[topaz scarab]

looks post-crash by the time that logs

[vocal kelp]

if you jump to 7.30 time in the video thats where i get the error

[topaz scarab]

video

nty

[half wind]

So far so good on updating the server with no breakages apparent. Although I was empty handed no inventory but I might have been that way already to be fair. Been quite a bit since I loaded that save and I did die at one point and might not have bothered to replace my crap

[frosty gale]

inventory wipe is common bug

[half wind]

Ah ok, I legit wasn't sure because I do remember dying right around the time I stopped playing

Memory not so great these days due to... issues

[misty delta]

Hi there, I know the API connection thing is big and I have seen some work around but it looks like most of them are for people running on servers not Windows from the Epic Launcher. Is there one for that one? I am able to connect to it but people outside the network cannot. I have both 7777's open. Anything I am missing?

[frosty gale]

you have 7777 udp and tcp open in your router as well as in your firewall?

[misty delta]

correct

[frosty gale]

and you checked that the port is visible from the outside

[misty delta]

idk how

let me double check everything

[topaz scarab]

double sad!

[edgy pasture]

the port scanner on whatsmyip dot org

[frosty gale]

canyouseeme.org

or that

[edgy pasture]

or that

lol

[topaz scarab]

aggressive bots smh

[midnight idol]

I set up my dedicated server and everything is fine on my end. My friend cannot connect to my server. He is getting the error "This server appears to be offline." as well as "Server name pending" and "Not authenticated" and offline. Any advice? I've done all the port setup as well as portforwarding in my router.

[carmine imp]

restart steam

That worked for me

[midnight idol]

For myself or friend?

[carmine imp]

Friend

And your port on the dedicated server and Firewall is opened on TCP/UDP 7777

[midnight idol]

Yup

To double check, what settings are needed to open up on firewall?

[carmine imp]

Are you hosting it yourself or 3rd party

[midnight idol]

myself

[carmine imp]

windows or linux

[midnight idol]

windows

[hollow jewel]

both on the same network?

[midnight idol]

no

[carmine imp]

awesome, open the advanced firewall protection

[midnight idol]

done

[outer fossil]

i should mention, sites like this only check tcp, and not udp.

[carmine imp]

allow TCP and UDP port 7777

[carmine imp]

okay, now on your modem/firewall

open port 7777 udp and tcp and point it to internal server ip

[topaz scarab]

what swanky ass router modem is that ui from

[midnight idol]

🤣

[frosty gale]

are you really using 192.168.50.0/8 or whatever

[midnight idol]

that is my ip yeah

[topaz scarab]

looked fine tho

[midnight idol]

ASUS ROG Rapture GT6

[topaz scarab]

gamer, makes sense

[midnight idol]

yeah, i don't mess around when it comes to my networking

soooo any other ideas?

[carmine imp]

I didn't fully see the ips. did you forward it to your dedicated server?

[midnight idol]

im not sure what you mean

[frosty gale]

is .184 your dedicated server

[carmine imp]

in the firewall setting, you will need to forward port 7777 to your dedicated servers ip

[midnight idol]

im running it off my local machine, so yeah? i think

[carmine imp]

on the firewall itself though

[midnight idol]

alright, dumb it down for me lol

[foggy halo]

Is this where the static IP comes in? Can the user set a static IP themselves?

[foggy halo]

Router settings in your browser of choice. What's your ISP?

[midnight idol]

Cox

[carmine imp]

on the server, usually

No one leaves a dedicated server on DHCP

[midnight idol]

Router Settings ^

[carmine imp]

yes

okay, and you set it to the static ip of the internal svr right

[midnight idol]

which would be my pc, right? if so, yeah

[carmine imp]

it is static

[surreal kestrel]

You don't have to blur the internal IP btw, they're not unique

[gleaming pike]

Should be good.

[carmine imp]

also true

[midnight idol]

from ipconfig, am I using the IPV4 address or default gateway?

[carmine imp]

^^

[carmine imp]

ipv4 address

[midnight idol]

ok thats what i used

[hollow jewel]

ip address, gateway is your router's ip

[carmine imp]

or firewall depending if you have that

now your ffriend will need to enter your public ip in their server manager

[hollow jewel]

which on normal consumer networks is 99.99999% of the time just part of the router 😛

[midnight idol]

and they did, and got those errors

[topaz scarab]

those port checker sites, you've confirmed it's open?

[midnight idol]

their screen

[midnight idol]

got a recommended one I can use to check?

[still canyon]

that black dot on the top, man... I really tried to wipe my monitor 🥴

[topaz scarab]

are they entering your ip correctly

[chrome pumice]

same

[hollow jewel]

you gave them your external ipv4, not ipv6, right?

[midnight idol]

yeah

[topaz scarab]

they all work, can't link because bot

[crystal bridge]

im so happy i wasnt the only one

[edgy pasture]

external... meaning NOT the internal one that you used for port forwarding.

Just double checking

[midnight idol]

so it may be closed

[hollow jewel]

correct, get your external ip from a site like ipchicken dot com

[topaz scarab]

ipburrito

[edgy pasture]

now I am hungry

[hollow jewel]

icanhazip

[main remnant]

a comer algo

[gleaming pike]

Whatsmyip on google

[topaz scarab]

inb4 cgnat

[hollow jewel]

the world needs more ip checking sites

[surreal kestrel]

ifconfig.co

[midnight idol]

ok i got my external ip, what now?

[topaz scarab]

google dot com slash what is my ip

[gleaming pike]

That's the address your friend needs

[hollow jewel]

give it to your friend lmao

[midnight idol]

do i need to update my server or router settings with this external ip?

[edgy pasture]

no

[hollow jewel]

no

[gleaming pike]

No

[topaz scarab]

no

[edgy pasture]

no

[midnight idol]

thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks

[gleaming pike]

Lol

[topaz scarab]

Lol

[hollow jewel]

Lol

[edgy pasture]

Lol

[surreal kestrel]

Your router already knows your public IP, but for some reason they don't always make it easy to find

[midnight idol]

that didnt work, i have to be doing something wrong

[topaz scarab]

well you said your port's closed

[hollow jewel]

you said you had a GAMER router, how about your ISPs modem?

[wanton hedge]

You need to port forward.

[edgy pasture]

you have more than one router between you and the internet?

[hollow jewel]

is your ISPs modem set up as bridge modem or portforwarding everything to your GAMER router?

[topaz scarab]

i just assumed the thing's in bridge mode

[midnight idol]

i use my own modem

[hollow jewel]

make sure whatever your modem is, is also forwarding the traffic, or in bridge mode

[topaz scarab]

it needs to be a gaming modem to work with the gaming router /s

[midnight idol]

it is, its a CM3000

so uh funny story

[gleaming pike]

This chats legit confusing me and Ive grown up doing networking 😆

[midnight idol]

for some reason the server was offline

[chrome pumice]

LMAO

[midnight idol]

so i restarted the server

[hollow jewel]

KEKW

[topaz scarab]

...

[midnight idol]

and he connected

[gleaming pike]

Problem solved

[topaz scarab]

next!

[midnight idol]

for now...

[surreal kestrel]

layer 8 issue

[edgy pasture]

stay effective

[hollow jewel]

we forgot the "turn it off and on again" step in troubleshooting, smh'

[midnight idol]

right

[carmine imp]

HAHAHAA

[gleaming pike]

Step one, did you turn it on

Step fifteen, is it still running

[midnight idol]

look, instructions were unclear

[foggy halo]

Do I need to set a static IP or can I just send the IP address from ipchicken to my friend?

I have forwarded my ports and updated my firewall in accordance with advices here

[hollow jewel]

static internal IP just makes sure you dont have to repeat your portforwarding steps every time your computer restarts

so you dont have to, but I would highly recommend it

[edgy pasture]

other option might be to reserve that IP in your DHCP settings in your router.

for your PC's MAC

[topaz scarab]

but if you're going to give it a static ip anyway, do it on the device

[edgy pasture]

might as well

[topaz scarab]

and one on the router for documentation

[hollow jewel]

and put it in a range outside of the DHCP range

[edgy pasture]

and don't pick the same address as anything else on the network

same subnet would be ideal...

[gleaming pike]

Don't really need to. I never do unless it's other networking gear

[hollow jewel]

and dont forget to brush your teeth before bed

[edgy pasture]

clean undergarments might help too

[foggy halo]

Alright, so if I never turn this system off, I'd be ok skipping the static IP?

[hollow jewel]

if you assign yourself a static IP within the DHCP range, you run the risk of another device getting that IP assigned while you are offline... which can lead to some funky stuff

[foggy halo]

This machine is designated for server uses

[edgy pasture]

It'll work for now... and probably break later

[hollow jewel]

I'm going to come to your house and flip your breakers for fun

[chrome pumice]

No dhcp can strike at anytime.

[stiff kernel]

Question for everyone, is the process for increasing max player count in multiplayer the same with 1.0?

[chrome pumice]

yes

[edgy pasture]

DHCP release/renew.... the hard way

[surreal kestrel]

Wait wrong reply

[half wind]

Tech support kitty reports there seems to be bad wiring

[surreal kestrel]

Your power might go out at some point, or it might get toggled off, or your router reboots, etc

[edgy pasture]

or your network drivers update because windows update gets too excited

[foggy halo]

So in the little static IP guide, when it says "Enter in the first and last usable IP address in the DHCPv4 start address field and the DHCPv4 end address field appropriately" where should I find the first and last usable IP addresses?

[hollow jewel]

implying a windows machine used for server purposes

[gleaming pike]

I've never really had those issues with 20 servers on proxmox and 25 smart plugs and 6 security cameras and 3 wifi repeaters lol. Stuff gets shut down often and never had an IP conflict interestingly. Good point though

[edgy pasture]

It's been done...

lol

[bold atlas]

Running into an issue where blueprints aren't working on servers

[hollow jewel]

I worked at a place with windows servers for a while, I do not miss that place

[foggy halo]

I am trying to use a windows machine without configuring for server use. am I going to die

[topaz scarab]

yes
only a few times, no big deal

[half wind]

I just have a save a bunch of addresses not included in the DHCP range and use those for statics. Easy peasy.

[edgy pasture]

yes

[hollow jewel]

interesting, I've always just been affraid of it and avoided it

kinda interested in seeing what would happen if you forced 2 machines to have the same internal IP 🤔

[topaz scarab]

what guide

[topaz scarab]

what are you using for smart plugs

ikea announced a new one today btw

[frosty gale]

I think we call that PEBKAC

[foggy halo]

I am using the AT&T support guide. I am outing myself here as a smoothbrain

[half wind]

That's a lot of smart plugs although between plugs and bulbs i probably have about 15-18ish i guess

[gleaming pike]

A mix of different stuff. Anything compatible with home assistant

[crystal bridge]

ive personally been partial to the id10t error myself

[edgy pasture]

the best^^^^

[half wind]

ATT routers shoudl automatically put you outside the DHCP range when you select a static..... if i recall

assuming you set it in the router, not just in the OS

although i've done it that way, not the smart way but i've done it

[surreal kestrel]

They just can't communicate. Whichever talked to the router first will connect to the internet, the other won't.

[topaz scarab]

layer 2? onions have layers

[hollow jewel]

Surprisingly boring

[edgy pasture]

It’s like crossing the streams on ghostbusters

[half wind]

nm it doesn't automatically put you outside the range. That said I never had a problem personally

[vapid turtle]

Hey all.. Windows Server 2019 VM on HyperV - ded server all installed, able to claim server via server manager from my remote machine at home so ports are all open etc correctly but when I hit Create Game it closes the host CMD session. I've seen the question asked a few times ^^^ but can't see any answers. Previous posts say under ProxMox ESXi etc to make sure CPU type is set to host - and I can confirm in HyperV this is set to Host. Running out of ideas...

[foggy halo]

Should setting static IP be a simple process? i.e. if I have to fill in many fields am I doing something wrong

[gleaming pike]

You don't need to be outside the ranges for static, unless you have a specific use case for it

[surreal kestrel]

The ARP cache retains MAC address - IP address pairings

[half wind]

had a whole bunch of static assignments in the router almost all in the DHCP

[topaz scarab]

but what's the proc on it
does this game even care about avx2 etc

[rain seal]

It really depends on your hardware, but even with the shitty equipment of most ISPs, you can do it.

[edgy pasture]

Yes. figure out what range your DHCP server is using, and use the same thing except for the last number being above or below the DHCP range.

[half wind]

I'd imagine the device won't assign a statically assigned address via DHCP... like ever

[gleaming pike]

I have more static then dynamic in my network cause of all the crap I do. I needed a spreadsheet to keep track lmao

[half wind]

regardless of where it lies

[vapid turtle]

Intel Xeon Silver 4114

[topaz scarab]

well, post logs

[frosty gale]

channel is alive all of a sudden

what country just woke up

[gleaming pike]

Depends if you're doing it on your machine or the router.

[kindred fractal]

I love women

[half wind]

I had quite a few static address, not so much any more. I don't do much locally these days

[surreal kestrel]

Could you link your guide?

[foggy halo]

Okay, good deal. Now, when it asks for a public gateway, do I use the default gateway from ipconfig? I'm doing this "on the router" in my browser

[bronze folio]

anyone have a server to play on? im kinda new

[foggy halo]

https:// www .att. com/support/smallbusiness/article/smb-internet/KM1181996/

[half wind]

I do hate the AT&T gateway, it is mind numbingly slow in the interface

[edgy pasture]

so, you are going the reserving an address based on MAC route?

[gleaming pike]

I'm already lost by what he said

[surreal kestrel]

AT&T gateways are at .254??

[frosty gale]

criminal

[half wind]

yes

[foggy halo]

perhaps the fact that I do not know what that means says I shouldn't be doing this

[hollow jewel]

a gateway not on .1?

time to grab a shotgun, take it out to the yard...

[half wind]

for consumer side anyhow, not sure about business

[foggy halo]

mine sure is

[edgy pasture]

you probably need to change the IPv4 settings on your computer and leave the router alone...

[surreal kestrel]

Okay so this guide is not the correct guide

[foggy halo]

glad I haven't hit save anywhere

[foggy halo]

thank you melmi

[gleaming pike]

Probably the easier route at this point, especially being a novice.

[surreal kestrel]

This is for a static PUBLIC address

[half wind]

heh I have a managed switch at 192.168.1.2... pretty sure I could have put it on .1 but I couldn't bring myself to do it, didn't feel right

[frosty gale]

i think att are the only isp that allows you to actually use a static ip that you own

[half wind]

all I know is I'm removing their routing from the system soon, friend of mine in networking got my some cisco gear to replace this with for routing

it'll just pass everything on to that... i really REALLY hate their interface

[surreal kestrel]

Okay so the first step to set up your Satisfactory server is to find a BGP peer

[half wind]

the fiber has been damn solid tho 😄

[topaz scarab]

@vapid turtle find it yet

[half wind]

@gleaming pikewhich version of proxmox are you running? I played with it a bit on a remote server quite awhile back, was thinking about using it for my LAN server when I get around to it

[gleaming pike]

Look ultri, you dont have to make it static, its just good practice and saves some headache if you ever restart your pc. You can always just try getting things going without it for now.

[half wind]

Seems super efficient if you're just running linux containers

[foggy halo]

Damn! Thank you all for your help so far. Quick run-down: ded server is installed and working. Can connect locally from all machines. Ports are forwarded, confirmed on external website. Cannot connect from outside network. That's the issue.

[vapid turtle]

yep just finished sanitizing - whats best way to get logs here, file upload, i assume not wall of txt 😉

[gleaming pike]

8.2.4

[topaz scarab]

sanitize, drag drop discord

[half wind]

So new new

[foggy halo]

if it's a process I can repeat, that's ok, could use the muscle memory!

[topaz scarab]

8's been out nearly a year

[half wind]

i just see on the website they're pushing 8.2

[surreal kestrel]

What error message do you get?

[foggy halo]

Server authentication failed

I don't see attempted login on the server log

[topaz scarab]

LogCore: Engine exit requested (reason: Win RequestExit)
🤔

[surreal kestrel]

And you forwarded both TCP and UDP port 7777?

[topaz scarab]

why is windows killing the server process nvm 2 lines up, crash hmm

[foggy halo]

I did

[vapid turtle]

Yep can hit https port 7777 on my server from remote IP at home (server at DC) and both TCP / UDP 7777 open

[foggy halo]

When the server is up, outside website confirms the port is open

[gleaming pike]

Silly question, is whoever connecting to your server using your isps IP and not one of your internal ones? This happens a lot.

[foggy halo]

I gave them my IPv4. When I give them my external IP theres a total connection failure, server not found.

[gleaming pike]

That's incorrect

go to google and search "whats my ip"

whatismyip dot com

[edgy pasture]

the IPv4 for the internet side of the router will work better

[gleaming pike]

give them THAT address, that's the one they need to use to connect.

I'm half asleep here so sorry if i misread something you've said.

[foggy halo]

Damn, I did try that but it wasn't able to connect. When I connect to the server (same network), I use the IPv4. When I try with the external, it does not find the server. Would it be external IP for outside, IPv4 for LAN?

[gleaming pike]

yessir, that's the recommended way.

[edgy pasture]

yes

external IP for connections that are external to the LAN. Internal for connections that are from inside the LAN.

[foggy halo]

Ok, thank you all so much! In regards to static IP, would this affect IPv4 or the external IP? Port forwarding on the ATT interface is weird, I can only select device, not IP

[gleaming pike]

Ipv4 if you're setting it in the proper location. (can get confusing if you're mucking around a router/modem)

[half wind]

I can confirm being a customer it's not nearly as straightforward as it should be

For somebody not used to doing this stuff I can see having some hurdles

[edgy pasture]

ATT modem should forward to your router... and your router should forward to your PC.

[gleaming pike]

My brain knows more then i do. True facts right here.

[half wind]

The ATT gateway for most will be one box...

[foggy halo]

I'm hoping this will do it. Thank you all so much, I have much to work with!

my gateway is indeed one box

[half wind]

Unless they've done some custom stuff... in which case tehy should know what they're doing

[topaz scarab]

and the installation tech will leave ten feet of raw fiber

[gleaming pike]

Setting a static IP, if done from windows, you'd be just be telling the device i want 'this' address, instead of the current ipv4

[half wind]

I'd set it in the gateway, it's not that hard

the windows only way might indeed lead to a conflict at some point, not sure

[foggy halo]

Oh damn, can I just set it to whatever my current IPv4 is?

[gleaming pike]

In theory, yeah.

[half wind]

Because the router isn't aware it should save that address for the device

I'd even argue it's harder to set that in windows than in the gateway tbh

[edgy pasture]

lol.... don't confuse him. He'll try to set his router's WAN ip to static again.

[half wind]

You literally select from a list

[ebon quiver]

Hey All. Where the heck is the game config file for a dedicated server? Trying to setup more than 4 players. The config files are NOT in the appdata folders for a dedicated server

[half wind]

so you actually can't even do that... heh

you look through a list, find the device, click assign

and it takes over it's current ip

that's it, that's all... for ATT anyhow

[foggy halo]

There's a list??

[half wind]

If nothing else it's basically foolproof in that regard

[gleaming pike]

In most.. routers, somewhere there is.

You'd see a list of all devices, or a list of ipv4's connected to your network.

[half wind]

Yeah it's under home network -> IP allocation

you can't just randomly punch in an address you just lick an already connected device to allocate

[foggy halo]

Dude, this is it. This is what I was looking for

[half wind]

the router will say oh ok I'll give that device this IP every...single..time

[foggy halo]

and I just click on my server machine?

[half wind]

windows will has for a DHCP lease and the gatewill tgive it that same ip... every single time

heh

*ask

See. easy peasy :d

And in theroy shouldn't give it to any other device...ever

[gleaming pike]

If you can find the correct page that shows a list of devices, and on that page there's a way to set a device reservation, you can make it so that device always keeps that ip.

[foggy halo]

ok I see, and it offers to either select address from pool, or select a specific address. Wow, awesome

[half wind]

@foggy halo the list can be a pain to read but yeah, there it is heh

yeah you can just select what it's already using and that's fine

or change it if you want/need

but since you already forwarded you wanna leave it the same

if you did change it just go alter the forwarding to match the new one, not really a huge deal 😄

[foggy halo]

Hell yea dude, you saved my bacon 😎

[half wind]

No prob I just happend to be a customer with the interface right here and years of using it heh

[foggy halo]

Now, will the external IP stay the same?

[half wind]

you external IP will typically stay the same

if it's business it will i think for sure, consumer it could change

typically it remains the same for long period though

How do I put blueprints on a server

[gleaming pike]

ISP's sometimes just rotate out the external IP for random unknown reasons. If that happens you'll just have to give your friend the new one when they say they cant connect again 😛 lol

[half wind]

Yeah a lot of times it's hardware changes

it'll just randomly be different heh

I don;t think mine has changed since I had it though... not 100% sure tho

[foggy halo]

dudes! massive help, thank you. One piece of the puzzle down

[half wind]

You'll get there. Honestly you're doing better than a lot of people. This stuff is super confusing for people not familiar

[foggy halo]

Incredibly so. Learning a lot just reading some of your guys' gripes. Had no idea so much went into all this.

[ebon quiver]

Okay I mean can anybody play with more than 4 people? seems like others are having issues setting game.ini to more than 4

[gleaming pike]

you'd be surprised how many people dont know the difference between .. idk.. a keyboard and mouse. To put it politely.

[half wind]

The good thing is this information could be useful in the future for another game too

[foggy halo]

absolutely, I always wanted a dedicated server machine. I remember trying to figure Hamachi a decade ago lol

[half wind]

I met a gut that was Cisco certified... strugged with home LAN though. To be fair those are two different arenas... but still

[gleaming pike]

ah.. hamachi. what a nightmare lmao.

[half wind]

yeah I did not would i ever install that stuff

like rent a server or learn to forward...

[gleaming pike]

The guys that came and hooked up our internet service and did the networking had no idea what the heck i was talking about, no idea about port forwarding or ip reservations.

Actually he messed the network up entirely, and i had to manually configure the router.

[foggy halo]

def does not seem like level 1 IT stuff

[half wind]

when i canceled comcast the tech was trying to tell me they do gigabit on copper now and im like "my man you can't give me a quarter that and im getting 20% packet loss i don't wanna hear it"

[vernal vale]

my Docker container download is taking 20 minutes to download 35MB, wonder what's up

[gleaming pike]

They do, i have it.

[half wind]

Not here though

[gleaming pike]

not through comcast, but gigabit over coax

[ebon quiver]

how has nobody tried to do more than 4 players yet

[half wind]

At least not at that point... like I said they couldn't even give me no packet loss so it really wouldn't have mattered if they could push 10gbit through that line

[gleaming pike]

Everyones asleep now, sleepy chat.

[umbral hollow]

So im having issues starting my server

[Error] Project file not found: /server/FactoryGame/FactoryGame.uproject

[topaz scarab]

post logs

[foggy halo]

Hey thanks for the help all, means a lot. 👌

[half wind]

Well if you need any more AT&T specific help I'll be aroundish from time to time lol

hard to say these day.

[stoic stream]

no idea why my windows dedicated server keeps getting disconnected or crashing.

[umbral hollow]

can i dm you?

[topaz scarab]

sure, but you'd get more eyes on it here

just redact whatever you need first

[half wind]

Yeah I don't like people seeing my install is in /home/pr0nstasher

[umbral hollow]

So the server is through shockbyte, we bought and started it up, and it gave two errors
9/11 11:48:39 PM [Error] Project file not found: /server/FactoryGame/FactoryGame.uprojectCopy
9/11 11:48:39 PM [Error] sh: 1: xdg-user-dir: not foundCopy

how do i post the logs?

[topaz scarab]

download txt, drag drop into discord

[umbral hollow]

theres 15, all of them?

[edgy pasture]

That or some other VPNish thing is a legit way to get around the port forward requirement.

[topaz scarab]

uh, just the most recent factorygame.log is fine

probably, assuming that errored too

[umbral hollow]

this is all of them

[half wind]

heh I never even saw that app until Minecraft... and thinkin "these kids have no idea what they're actually installing..."

[tawny garden]

So i lagged out of the server but when I rejoin, I spawned in as a new player. Any way to fix this?

[half wind]

eh

did it happen right after you joined? No autosave yet? Not sure

[gleaming pike]

I rather read a log file within discord then downloading a random zip file. 😄

[half wind]

watch out for them zip bombs

[topaz scarab]

that's your steamcmd logs, find the game logs
says steamcmd downloaded the game server fine tho
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Logs_and_crash_dumps

[topaz scarab]

wrong reply?

[gleaming pike]

wrong reply, but from the wiki

that probably would of came in handy earlier when people were having firewall issues.

[topaz scarab]

release day problems

[umbral hollow]

is that it?

[topaz scarab]

yup, looks fine tho

well, it didn't stop gracefully anyway, but it started fine

[stiff urchin]

My server is showing that it is offline what do I do?

[topaz scarab]

hit it with your purse

have you done all the port forward and port checks

[umbral hollow]

its still saying starting and it has the 2 errors

[stiff urchin]

what is this you speak of?

[gleaming pike]

It'll stay starting till you add it into your server manager (in satisfactory) and add your admin password etc, esentially claiming it as your server.

[topaz scarab]

well there's

Failed to read file '/server/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/ServerSettings.54871.sav' error.

[gleaming pike]

There's no save yet because its a new server.

[topaz scarab]

wait why tf is your port oh right hosting service

[umbral hollow]

how can this be fixed?

[gleaming pike]

Add the server into your server manager in satisfactory.

[topaz scarab]

lol @gleaming pike im over here looking at what they say the issue is, and you're looking at the issue

[umbral hollow]

I cant

[umbral hollow]

any idea?

[gleaming pike]

I'd complain to your hosting provider tbh

If you're having issues.

[topaz scarab]

rename that sav file to something else and try starting it again
but yeah hit up the provider

[umbral hollow]

any recommendations on a provider?

[quick mist]

Be your own provider

[gleaming pike]

I am my own provider also.

[topaz scarab]

so i haven't found anything about whitelisting players
is this just security through obscurity

[gleaming pike]

There's password protection, other then that - yes. obscurity.

[quick mist]

You can probably do something with respect to the TLS certificate that needs to properly handshake with the clients if you really want a secure video game server

[topaz scarab]

lmao i totally skipped over that, thanks

smh unreal save as config

[paper path]

Hello, I have the following problem: I use Pterodactyl for my Satisfactory server. How can I change the startup command so that it works correctly?
My startup command is currently:

./Engine/Binaries/Linux/*-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame ?listen -Port={{SERVER_PORT}} -ServerQueryPort={{QUERY_PORT}} -BeaconPort={{BEACON_PORT}} -multihome=0.0.0.0 $(if { {DISABLE_SEASONAL}}; then echo '-DisableSeasonalEvents';

I use google translate.

Thank you

[topaz scarab]

having to boot the game to change a setting 👎

inb4 api

[quick mist]

Remove the ServerQueryPort, BeaconPort, and Multihome arguments. They are no longer a Thing.

[chrome pumice]

Are you using the new egg stuff in the pinned comments?

[quick mist]

Also, since you are upgrading a preexisting server you will want to open TCP port 7777 on your firewall. UDP port 7777 was already open; the TCP/7777 requirement is new

[paper path]

Can someone adjust my Pterodactyl Egg correctly for me?

[topaz scarab]

p gud ai voice

[gleaming pike]

./Engine/Binaries/Linux/*-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame ?listen -port={{SERVER_PORT}} $(if {{DISABLE_SEASONAL}}; then echo "-DisableSeasonalEvents"; fi)

[topaz scarab]

replace it all with the factory server script, no
edit: oh it just calls the same

[gleaming pike]

#dedicated-servers message

[chrome pumice]

It might also need the API workaround option.

[gleaming pike]

was in a recent pin

time to sleep.

i keep trying but then stuff happens here and i get back on the computer.

[paper path]

Is this not working for me or am I doing something wrong?

[loud zenith]

Did the update that pushed out tonight not fix the API issue on dedicated servers running on a windows VM?

[quick mist]

no update today unfortunately

Someone saw a new build go up on Steam but it was not a public one

so they're working on it

[loud zenith]

What was weird was my dedicated server in steam received an upate around 10:08pm EST.

That's why I asked.

[topaz scarab]

public was last updated 2 days ago https://steamdb.info/app/1690800/depots/

[quick mist]

I suppose it's possible they dropped a stealth hotfix but that would be quite unusual

[topaz scarab]

unless you're on an internal branch 👀

[gleaming pike]

I just rebooted mine and it also updated

[quick mist]

unusual but not unprecedented (:

[frosty gale]

no update was pushed tonight

[topaz scarab]

just ran an update, nothing here

[gleaming pike]

Mine updated and validated

Strange

[topaz scarab]

game update or steamcmd update

[loud zenith]

Steam application

not steamcmd

[frosty gale]

the public repo hasnt been touched in 2 days theres nowhere for the update to come from

[gleaming pike]

Narnia

Maybe they pushed internal for a hot fix

[foggy belfry]

Hi all. I have a Oricle cloud server (3 cores, 23gb ram) I have ssh rights to. I was thinking of running a dedicated server now that 1.0 is out for me to play on. Does anyone have any tips on what would be the best way to set one up? I have created a MC server on that server before so I have some beginner knowlage, but am looking for any tips on what the best way to do it would be.

[gleaming pike]

I have no idea that's weird

[frosty gale]

just steam being steam

it randomly updates apps with nothing

[south current]

That is same build id from 2 days ago

[quick mist]

Use SteamCMD to pull the server down. Open TCP/7777 and UDP/7777. Happy building!

[half wind]

I dunno I just use LinuxGSM for most things other than minecraft

[loud zenith]

Weird is right. Well, guess I'll keep waiting. You're probably right, just Steam being Steam.

[half wind]

for which I have a 10 server multicraft license for

[foggy belfry]

cool. I read the Wiki about how it needs to be in some kind of shell, would Tmux be appropraite or should I learn how docker (whats shown on the wiki) works

[frosty gale]

i think ive run out of canadian railroad trilogies

[foggy belfry]

as far as I understand at least*

[quick mist]

you can use screen or tmux, or set up a systemd unit to manage it for you

[topaz scarab]

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

v documented

[foggy belfry]

alright. I didn't really understand that when i read it, ill reread it and if I can't figure it out ill jsut stick with tmux since i understand it to an extent

[quick mist]

go with what works for you. that's the cool thing about Linux: it's a cat with many many skins

[topaz scarab]

also tbf the article's changed a ton since yesterday

[gleaming pike]

That sounds absolutely terrifying

[frosty gale]

a cat with many skins caked in shit

[quick mist]

only for the cat

[foggy belfry]

ik things are still new, and servers JUST got officialy supported since 1.0, so thats why i reached out here in case of any tips not yet documented. I appreciate the advice Ghoti and beebomb (?) (🐝💣)

[quick mist]

happy to help!

[frosty gale]

uh no?

servers are from 0.5

or something

[quick mist]

they were still considered Experimental until yesterday

[foggy belfry]

ik they existed

[frosty gale]

the whole game still is honestly

[pliant rivet]

I'm having some trouble with my dedicated server - its getting an error when trying to delete a specific part. it seemed to get better after doing an update (which I see is questionable if it updated at all) but still persists. I'm running on Windows and the error contains AppError called: Assertion failed:

any ideas where to start?

[south current]

There was an update 8 hours ago but just for the app, So could have been related to this

[gleaming pike]

Could have also been a ghost fix, where they pushed the same version to fix a typo or something similar.

[topaz scarab]

oh are you talking about the game client files

[quick mist]

Worse come to worst, you could download the save from the server, fix the part locally, and upload the fixed save

[topaz scarab]

if so, wrong channel lol

we only care about app id 1690800 here :^)

[quick mist]

We care about the other app here too, we just only advise about 1690800 here.

[pliant rivet]

Ok I could try that. I'll see if I can place/delete the blueprint again (avoiding those specific parts).

[gleaming pike]

1690801 is what I care about

[south current]

was just showing that there were no "updates" released for dedicated server, Just an app update as shown in that screen shot.

[quick mist]

there goes Tumeden, always one-upping everyone

[frosty gale]

not a valid appid

[half wind]

upgrading is so last year, im into downgrading now

I figure within a year i'll be back to using DOS...

[pliant rivet]

Ok I could try that. I'll see if I can

[south current]

might be like Update 9 they skip it and go for 1690802

[frosty gale]

also not valid

[topaz scarab]

well that's the linux server depot id

[foggy belfry]

probably a dumb question but I don't want to mess anything up since I know i don't have the knowhow to revert big problems:
it says I should not download steamcmd as root user because it is a security risk. if the only thing I am downloading through the steamcmd is satisfactory, do I need to do this step?

because I only have access to this machine through ssh IDK if users are supported and whats the deal with that

[frosty gale]

it shouldnt matter

if the service only runs this server

[topaz scarab]

you'll be fine™️

[gleaming pike]

Yolo

[frosty gale]

if someone hacks your satisfactory server for root access its not the end of all time

[half wind]

root all the things

[gleaming pike]

I root everything, it grows big trees

[frosty gale]

go back to your roots

[half wind]

My satisfactory server grew on one branch

[quick mist]

It's best to only ever run things as root that you must run as root

[half wind]

nope inf act im deleting all other accounts now

[gleaming pike]

So...... everything. Jk

[frosty gale]

opening calculator with full system privileges

[half wind]

I need it

[topaz scarab]

calc.service

just systemd things

[quick mist]

from the Before times:

[half wind]

I can't wait to get my LAN server set up... my dedi is a bit weak for gaming stuff

great for what I originally rented it for...

[frosty gale]

does dell make any high performance servers

[half wind]

Pretty sure they do

[topaz scarab]

if you have money, they have servers

[half wind]

I mean even in the used stuff I was shopping some of the stuff wasn't that old and nice

[frosty gale]

im in like an abusive relationship with them

[half wind]

I buy stuff that's used though, it's so much less expensive and I don't need the latest cpu

[frosty gale]

but all their deprecated gear is like vm/hypervisor stuff

and storage

[south current]

Think that's the only high performance thing they make lol

[pliant rivet]

do people generally prefer the linux vs windows server ?

[half wind]

I have an old Dell workstation here. 3x hot swappable PSU's, 6 hot swappable front SCSCI bays... duel PIII cpus 😄

[vagrant dirge]

check out savemyserver.com bunch of used/EOL blade servers from both HP and Dell. I'm running my dedi on an HP from there.

[half wind]

*dual

[gleaming pike]

Alienware is Dell

[topaz scarab]

hp, gross

[half wind]

That's right I know you can feel the power of those two Pentium 3's from where you sit

[topaz scarab]

do they still wall firmware updates?

[frosty gale]

as if

[vagrant dirge]

Normally, I'd agree, but we're dealing with EOL shit, meaning no support/updates from HP themselves, so there's that.

[frosty gale]

2 piles of shit is what they are

[topaz scarab]

10 series, gross

[vagrant dirge]

Probably, but it's irrelevant for my home lab. lol

[frosty gale]

top one is a 20

[half wind]

when i hit up ebay for something used i don't really care that much about brand... I just wanna know if they can supply me with drive rails and front plate

and honestly that cover i don't care much about heh

[foggy belfry]

I have a REALLY old server in the basement that nobody uses that my dad gave me

[topaz scarab]

might fetch a premium with the retro gamers

[foggy belfry]

it has like 8g hard drive and idk how much ram

when i say old

[topaz scarab]

who was it talking about downgrades earlier? 😆

[foggy belfry]

i mean like OLD OLD
