dedicated-servers

[frosty gale]

whats that

[quick mist]

rather than 'word ' + variable + ' other word', you can use f'word {variable} other word'

[tender thicket]

f strings goated

[frosty gale]

all I know is psutils was taking an entire second to find PIDs and this does it in 50 milliseconds

[quick mist]

this guy knows what's up

[gloomy crown]

Were the RAM requirements for servers changed recently? The wiki says 12-16 gb recommended, but I've been running a server for the last 2 days and it has barely touched 5gb RAM

[frosty gale]

something something bigger world more people

[quick mist]

once you get up to a server with nine power networks, a continent-wide rail network, and nuclear power plants you'll want that extra RAM

[tender thicket]

Those reqs are on the high end yeah, the more players and buildings u have the more ram u need

[frosty gale]

i meant task list but yea I shouldve used that

[dusty vortex]

#dedicated-servers message

then

#dedicated-servers message

[frosty gale]

I kinda thought maybe just adding strings would be slightly faster

[ancient bison]

if I wanted to be pedantic, you can just use return instead of return None

[frosty gale]

yea well

[ancient bison]

f-strings are performance wise, faster

[frosty gale]

yea

[quick mist]

I prefer explicit returns so that later-me knows that the None is deliberate

[ancient bison]

each to their own

[quick mist]

I also have started using type hinting a lot more; present-me has thanked past-me for doing so

[frosty gale]

that reminds me you should probably do some shit like this to add world download compat
or dont im not your mom or anything

idk why I put bytes there

[ancient bison]

Actully looking at the PEP, you'd be right in keeping it consistent by explicitly returning None

[quick mist]

so in one case you alter the response_data and in another case and only that case you return it? Interesting

[tender thicket]

boom

[ancient bison]

peps.python.org/pep-0008/#programming-recommendations

[tender thicket]

headshot

[frosty gale]

well when its json he parses it for errors and whatnot later

since the server only returns bytes when downloading world theres no need for anything else

[gloomy crown]

I see you guys talking about the http api - were docs released for that yet or are we just feeling around for capabilities so far?

[tender thicket]

[quick mist]

they're included with the client and stashed in a Pin here

[dusty vortex]

docs are available with the client ... info on location is in the pins

[tough juniper]

Do you connect directly or via server browseR?

[ancient bison]

Potentially! I'll have to think about how I implement it

[frosty gale]

I was looking at adding world upload but idk how it wants me to form the request for that so I gave up

[tender thicket]

A cool thing someone could do would be an event-driven wrapper for udp API

[ancient bison]

@gloomy crown Here's how I implemented a wrapper for it, if that helps

[frosty gale]

be warned you cant download it without python 3.12

[misty haven]

this worked for me, thank you!

[tender thicket]

hes raging

[frosty gale]

or you can and im just an idiot

[ancient bison]

It does support lower versions

[molten yacht]

Why do markers disappear when rejoining a server?

[dusty vortex]

my day job involves writting API's for enterprise services... im heading out on hols in a few hours but something im looking forward to sinking my teeth in upon my return 🙂

[frosty gale]

did you change it

[ancient bison]

basically any version that works with requests, which is most

[tender thicket]

👀

[quick mist]

one of us! one of us!

[ancient bison]

just changed the .toml version now

[frosty gale]

gangster

[ancient bison]

python 3.8 +

[quick mist]

that's reasonably paleolithic (:

[ancient bison]

it's pretty ancient yeah

but HTTP requests don't* need much magic 😆

[tired marsh]

hi all, after V1.0.0.1 the wolveix lastest image is usable ? or we must continu use the 1.7.3 ?

[tender thicket]

It autoupdates and he has also updated the image itself

[frosty gale]

dude I saw someone who was sending out one of those shitty python grabbers from github and he compiled it with the wrong python version so it errored on execution

[tender thicket]

so u can redownload it and use it

[dim mountain]

some improvements on how the game stores textures were made, so you should be fine with 8-10 GB

[ancient bison]

my current one sits ideally at 3.6GB~, with players reaches 5~ (but this is a completly new save, so I expect it'll increase as we progress)

[sturdy gust]

Yeah, just switch to latest and do a manual pull

[tired marsh]

fine 😄 your are the best pal 😄

[frosty gale]

starting to wonder if I should build a high performance epyc or threadripper machine and just use pterodactyl

[desert plover]

Some issue rn with pterodactyl and satisfactory

[tender thicket]

dockerize the whole ptero setup so u can redeploy in a heartbeat

thats what I did

[desert plover]

Game isn't updating without forcing an reinstall of the server

[tender thicket]

Ptero, wings, cloudflare tunnel, and something else im forgetting

[ancient bison]

honestly I found pterodactyl to be a bit overkill if you're just using it for personal use, especially if you only have one server

[frosty gale]

I have a serious problem with wanting all my servers to have all the resources

[tender thicket]

Thats not unreasonable to say, but if u want multiple servers or for friends to be able to control said servers its nice

[quick mist]

wait this whole time I thought Pterodactyl was a Docker wrapper.. Unless I'm wrong that's some mad Dockerception you're comptemplating

[tender thicket]

oh yeah baybee docker in docker

[foggy belfry]

now i am as confused as i can get. Using Oracle's own network analyzer, it says that the connection can go through. but using port checker website, it says its closed

[frosty gale]

I host a server for every game we play that supports one

[quick mist]

barf

[frosty gale]

only temporarily mostly

[tender thicket]

yeah servers never last that long in my friend group

[quick mist]

@foggy belfry is the game server currently running on your host?

[frosty gale]

like I dont setup services for any of them or anything

[ancient bison]

its basically a docker frontend yeah

kinda like portainer, but for games

[tender thicket]

But u also need wings which is the actual container

theres the panel and wings

[ancient bison]

I personally am a fan of AMP, its a native application - but you can use docker if needed

[tender thicket]

amps nice but free is nice as well

I didnt wanna pay the like 20 bucks or whatever it is

[frosty gale]

isnt AMP for minecraft

[ancient bison]

you mean the 7 bucks?

lol

[foggy belfry]

not installed the game server yet because I had a similar port forwarding issue when using for minecraft and didn't want to go through all the install steps and need to reset everything in the end if thats what it took to fix it

[ancient bison]

nah, supports a lot of games

[tender thicket]

Im frugal bro what can I say

[frosty gale]

zamn

I think I still rather setup game servers myself

[quick mist]

if a port is forwarded, but nothing is listening on that port it will appear closed.

[frosty gale]

i dont like 1 button magic

[ancient bison]

honestly, fair

[foggy belfry]

❗

[tender thicket]

Is there a community for it like there is for ptero/pelican or is it all done by the amp team?

[foggy belfry]

omg

if thats whats been the problem this whole time

i will...

[ancient bison]

community+amp team, its all on github

[tender thicket]

Cool

[foggy belfry]

be displeased with myself

[gloomy crown]

yeah, make sure the game server is actually running if you try to do a port check

[quick mist]

that's why one of the first things I asked you was if the server was running @foggy belfry (:

I guess you thought I meant the host, not the program

[hushed knot]

https://i.imgur.com/NSQdGUS.png

[foggy belfry]

ok. i have a class starting in like 2 minutes so ill be trying that after its done

[hushed knot]

anybody getting this?

[tender magnet]

Hello, had my server working just fine until half an hour ago. Now I get this

[frosty gale]

I guess you could say his port was forwarded but nobody was listening

[hushed knot]

xd same

[tender thicket]

u need to force update ur server

[quick mist]

update your server

[eager thunder]

Trying to run 1.0 Dedicated Server using NSSM in Windows. It worked with update 8. After scouring the posts here, I need help with..

1. Where are the logs going by default when I use the -log argument?

2. When the service starts I get multiple "Ran out of memory" (no other useful information) warning entries in the Windows Event Log. Any ideas how to address this? The box has 128 GB of RAM and the service is using less than 200 MB.

3. I think addressing 2 should address why the http route handler isn't working - probably because it couldn't start.. However, when I try to hit the localhost API, as suggested to test the server, I get a 404 with the following JSON: { "errorCode": "errors.com.epicgames.httpserver.route_handler_not_found", "errorMessage": "" }

Env: physical Windows 11 box with 128 GB RAM, installed with steamcmd, ran manually in order to trigger the unreal dependency installer

[frosty gale]

holy moly

thats a couple words

[tender magnet]

How?

[tender thicket]

128gb ram jesus

[hushed knot]

I did get an update on dedicated server in steam, can I further force the next..?

[foggy belfry]

😭 thank you once again for being my savior and for the support. ill get back with updates when my class ends and i try it

[tender thicket]

ur running it thru the steam library?

[quick mist]

I remember when 128 MB was outlandish. Hell once upon a time 128 KB was a lot

[tender thicket]

It should prob be updated then

[hushed knot]

nah steamcmd, just noticed steam queued up the dedicated server update

[tender thicket]

Oh then theres a command to force the update of the game thru steamcmd i forget what it is tho

[dusty vortex]

got 384gb in my server, tho this game hardly scratches the surface and with that many sticks it probs costs more in electricity o have loaded lol

[eager thunder]

I refuse to allow RAM to hold me back LUL

[tender thicket]

Ur gonna havce to do some digging around here

[hushed knot]

Oh I have that I think, thanks

[frosty gale]

logs go to the FactoryGame\Saved\Logs folder and youre probably just not using the api right

[tender thicket]

Bro thats mad

I was p happy with 32 in mine

different strokes I suppose

mines a minipc so its a little bit of a different usecase i suppose

[gloomy crown]

lol im still running 16gb ddr3 in my main pc

[frosty gale]

same way you installed it

[slim salmon]

in 2 you mention the service ram. just asking the obvious: how's the system monitor / overall ram consumption. you sure 'out of ram' is a false negative?

[lofty plume]

curious what peole running to manage their server? I'm using PowerShellGSM because I had been for a while (and I have a spare windows machine). But is there a state of the art w/1.0?

[frosty gale]

yes

[eager thunder]

Thank you - that answers number 1

[tender thicket]

Pterodactyl

[dusty vortex]

it has is uses cases that are largely off topic here 😂
nerds and their rack servers eh hehehe

[quick mist]

systemd.

[hushed knot]

force update in steam or (currently trying not sure it works) if you're using steamcmd like me try:
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 +quit

[tender thicket]

believe u me bro I would have one if only I wasnt moving every yr bc of college

[eager thunder]

humming at 7%

[tender thicket]

Not really viable to lunk around a big ass 16u cage every yr

fuck that

[tender magnet]

I am using steamcmd Ill try that, thx

[slim salmon]

tmux

[hushed knot]

any redox enthusiasts

[quick mist]

just get a new one bolted into place every time you move. the people who move in after you will thank you if they have good taste

[tender thicket]

i wish bro

[gloomy crown]

Linux GSM is pretty nice, I have it running in it's own lxc

[tender magnet]

Worked like a charm. Thank you so much

[hushed knot]

Got any good recommendations for starting out a setup for this? I'm somewhat interested in doing a home server but haven't worked up the courage or capital yet

[frosty gale]

ok so I reinstalled me entire game, made a brand new server on my machine and claimed it via the api and still whenever I leave it drops the socket

[hushed knot]

nice! gl pioneer

[frosty gale]

I have no idea whats up at this point

[dusty vortex]

why pay a datacenter for services when you can build one your self right? 🤣

[tender thicket]

Lmfao this is my setup
Proxmox - Ubuntu VM -> Docker container -> Pterodactyl/Wings/Cloudflare Tunnel -> Satisfactory

[hushed knot]

pterodactyl I'm in

[tender thicket]

Can never have too many layers

[gloomy crown]

start simple with a raspberry pi home server, you'd be surprised how much you can actually host on a small rpi.
I graduated from that into a dell optiplex 7070 sff that uses <30 watts running 24/7

[tender thicket]

If u got a bit more money one of those minipcs u can get off amazon work rly well

Thats what I use

[frosty gale]

I was like 13 and said fuck it I want a dell poweredge

[dusty vortex]

sometimes it gets cold, just looking out for your apps welfare clearly!

[tender thicket]

U get me

[hushed knot]

I have 2 rpi 3Bs laying around, I am very comfy in linux just haven't made the hardware jump. I'll check out the 7070 - as the spend on electricity is what's mainly keeping me from springing for it

[quick mist]

the path from "repurposed headless laptop" to "RasPi farm" to QNAP NAS repurposed to ProxMoxBox to "now I have a 18U rack making all this noise and my power bills are unbelievable" is well-trodden

[frosty gale]

I skipped a few steps

or maybe all of the steps

is there any way to rack mount servers without rails

[tender thicket]

why would u wanna do that

[chrome pumice]

Stacking on top of more servers.

[frosty gale]

because the rack I pulled some of these machines out of they were just stacked on top of each other

I dont have the rails

[tender thicket]

Cant u buy rails

That seems the easiest solution here

[frosty gale]

not for half of my machines

[dusty vortex]

with great care and precarious-ness 😆

[tender thicket]

Instead of trying to play jenga

[frosty gale]

too old to find the rails

[tender thicket]

Huh

[frosty gale]

and I also dont care to that much

I dont understand rack depth

or how that connects to rail sizr

or rack width

I only know height

[quick mist]

all I know is that the rails on the bottom server are probably very very sad

[dusty vortex]

most rails are extendable, so they support a range of depths 🙂

[frosty gale]

the two poweredges can probably be found rails still

the rosewill just maybe

the supermicro no chance

[dusty vortex]

otherwise take a look at a couple of basic shelfs and place at front and rear then span the server over them (if you really must)]

[chrome pumice]

Trust me if you find the part number eBay has it.

[frosty gale]

I cant find the part number

[gloomy crown]

I got my 7070 sff with an i5-8500T on ebay for like $100 usd, works pretty well for what I need it for.

[dusty vortex]

you know the model of your server... its possible to lookup for them.
will thank your self when the time comes to perform maintinance on em 🙂

[frosty gale]

I dont know the model

[chrome pumice]

It's not listed on it?

[frosty gale]

its a supermicro something from 2002-2005

[deep turret]

tbh I should do the full compare

[frosty gale]

I dont rmember it being so, no

[deep turret]

didnt do it yet

[frosty gale]

only the motherboard had the supermicro part number for it

[dusty vortex]

will be watching out for your results/feedback closely (no rush tho)

[slim salmon]

oh regarding millennial hardware... i tried to repurpose one of those machines but when i checked the power drain I felt it really doesn't worth it

[upper crest]

would someone be willing to help me figure out why I can't get a dedicated server to run? It seems to boot, but I can't connect to it or initialize it through the game

[shell karma]

is the dedicated server bug fixed yet? Where when you have the host server and client on the same machine and after disconnecting the server shows it's offline, when it isn't?

[lofty plume]

alright, thank's y'all

[tender thicket]

My work recently decommd some HPE G9/G10s and I was super tempted to go pick some up

[slim salmon]

where is your server running? at home, same machine? how did you start/install the server?

[tender thicket]

but id have nowhere to put them

These servers are beefy tho

like 1TB ram

[upper crest]

at home, on a different machine, installed through steamcmd

[tender thicket]

madness

[dusty vortex]

depends on use case... the dell 730xd units i have draw around 250w each... which is a fraction of the older r910 i had which would draw easily 800w when idle (weep)

[slim salmon]

have you added it via the ingame server manager?

[upper crest]

when I enter the IP for the server it just shows as offline both to myself and to my friend who is joining me

[frosty gale]

thats not the issue and no its not fixed

[gloomy crown]

Are you trying to connect to it with your internal or external ip?

[slim salmon]

I'm really not good with IRL tech. 250w thats 6kw/h per day? If i consider the monthly cost with my power plan. hmmm?! idk

[upper crest]

both my friend and I are trying to use my external IP.

[gloomy crown]

Does it let just you connect if you use the server's internal ip?

[sly ibex]

Did you port forward 7777 with both UDP and TCP

[upper crest]

yes

[dusty vortex]

yer its not for everyone, its really only for the seriously committed to nerding out on stuff heh

[quick mist]

that's like three 100W lightbulbs if you're still using incandescents.

(which you shouldn't)

[chrome pumice]

Search that part number for the spec sheet. That should have the rails part number in it.

[frosty gale]

in the US 250W @ 24H/Day is $60 a year

[shell karma]

ty. what's the issue then? 🙂

[frosty gale]

I lied its 200

[dusty vortex]

or like boiling the kettle every 20 mins !

[frosty gale]

its just random people are cursed and whenever they leave the server it closes the port its listening on

[slim salmon]

just for the lulz. add the command line argument when starting the server?
./FactoryServer.sh "-ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any"

[upper crest]

thank you for mentioning what should have been an obvious option lol. That's what 4 hours of sleep gets me though

[frosty gale]

I hate this problem so much

[frosty gale]

I dont think a motherboard has rails

[upper crest]

Titan had the right idea. I just needed to connect via the internal IP on my end to begin the setup process

[gloomy crown]

👍 If it lets you connect with your internal ip, it's probably just a port forwarding issue. If it still doesn't work, then it's probably just not working altogether

[dusty vortex]

in my case, im closer to retirement than i am to leaving school, and thankfully dont have kids, so my tech is my hobby, which folks will pour unthinkable funds into their hobbies

[slim salmon]

i hope all the best for you friend! 🙂

[chrome pumice]

If it has a super micro part number it does lol.

[upper crest]

I'm able to do the configuration through the server manager now, so hopefully I can have my friend connect as well. I'll update shortly

[frosty gale]

wha

[quick mist]

Some people buy cancer sticks. Some people buy MTG cards. Some people buy NTFs. Some people buy chunks of plastic with sand that we've hit with enough lightning that it can do maths for us.

[frosty gale]

photolithography is less lightning more lighting

[chrome pumice]

Yeah supermicro is weird like that.

💀

[frosty gale]

I can still see you mr website

even though the mean bot deleted you

[brittle canyon]

I'm having trouble installing the new game version in steamcmd. I've done app_update 1690800 and included validate and it's still on the prior version

[frosty gale]

you forgot force install dir

if you did that the first time

[quick mist]

you're not trying to update it while it's still running are you?

[frosty gale]

or that

[brittle canyon]

no it's shut down

[vocal bloom]

do dedicated servers work

[frosty gale]

no better time for an oil change than with the engine still running

[frosty gale]

no

[chrome pumice]

Yes

[quick mist]

the short answer is 'yes'

the long answer is 'yes and no'

[brittle canyon]

long answer is check the wiki

[quick mist]

that's the long long answer

[chrome pumice]

Or the pins.

[frosty gale]

slightly longer answer is good luck

[quick mist]

the really long answer is "start scrolling up"

[frosty gale]

may the force be with you

[brittle canyon]

someone should really start threading the FAQ and pinning that stuff

[dusty vortex]

we mostly agree, your the 4th person today i seen suggest this, such is the current situ :/

[quick mist]

the problem is that, this being such a big place, the mods are hesitant to pin links to FAQs we're posting on places not under CSS' control becuase they can't be verified or guaranteed not to change

[slim salmon]

it's delicated how to balance support. being too much rtfm comes of as harsh. being too much handhelding creates waste even nuclear plant designers have nightmares of.
(this thing about catching a fish vs teaching someone how to fish)

[ripe steppe]

The dedicated server version is still the one from yesterday, right ?

[frosty gale]

wrong

[quick mist]

"give a freezing man a match and he'll be warm for three seconds. Set a freezing man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

[ripe steppe]

Why does my steamcmd then not download anything ?

[slim salmon]

i luve that! much more than my thought of the moment of splitting dedi channel into "rented server" vs "self hosted" server channels.

[quick mist]

must be the CDN endpoint you're hitting; I got the update in a timely fashion.

[frosty gale]

i doubt its that

[slim salmon]

I had a version mismatch today even a steamcmd update couldnt solve. I had to use a different install dir for newest server version.

[ripe steppe]

The client updated no problem, but the server seems to be the old version still in steam...

just re-ran the update, no download

[dusty vortex]

give a different folder a try (or rename the old install to -old at the end and try again)

[ripe steppe]

ok

will try

[quick mist]

your save files are in a different location so you should be good with that, yeah

[ripe steppe]

i know that, thx

[frosty gale]

give a man a server he'll be happy all day
teach a man to server and he'll hound you with questions for the rest of your life

[quick mist]

hah

show that man how to man and you'll neer see him again if he can read

[ripe steppe]

i am running a dell r720xd lol

[frosty gale]

yo same but like not

what cpus

[dusty vortex]

welcome to the club 🙂 (well mine are the 730xd but not far from what you got there 🙂 )

[ripe steppe]

E5-2650

v2

[quick mist]

Dell's enterprise hardware is as good as their consumer hardware is not

[tepid sluice]

Has the dev team acknowledged the crash when the user that claimed the server exits?

Update today did not fix.

[ripe steppe]

i even added the xd protion myself

[quick mist]

yes, and that seems to only happen on servers running on the same host as the client.

[tidal sinew]

anyone had any luck running dedicated server on proxmox lxc?

[gloomy crown]

Thats how i'm running mine right now

[frosty gale]

you retrofitted the xd package?

[ripe steppe]

yes

[frosty gale]

thats pretty cool

[tidal sinew]

and you are not getting any errors?

[dusty vortex]

so added the internal riser and tray? 🙂

[upper crest]

ok, so it seems like there may be some kind of port forwarding issue

friend can't connect, but server is up and running

[ripe steppe]

and some boards

[gloomy crown]

No, I am using a debian 12 lxc and installed Linux GSM.

[frosty gale]

I just got my hands on an r720 last month and maxed it out

[quick mist]

did you forward both TCP and UDP ports?

[ripe steppe]

for the rear mounting slots

[eager thunder]

This is nuts. Impossible to follow. There has to be a better way to get server help....

[tidal sinew]

hmm, will try that out, thanks!

[gloomy crown]

Make sure you forwarded 7777 (BOTH UDP & TCP) to your internal server's IP.

[ripe steppe]

main use is freeNAS

[frosty gale]

what are you trying to do

[ripe steppe]

Vsphere 6.5 as Hypervisor

[eager thunder]

Trying to get the Ded Server running

[chrome pumice]

What is failing?

[tepid sluice]

It is happening for me and I am a different client not related to the host machine. All I did was claim the server once it was spun up

[frosty gale]

and youre getting memory errors when you try starting it yea?

[quick mist]

ugh, I have actual work to do at work today, I'll be lurking for a while or three

[dusty vortex]

what problem you facing buddy? perhaps we can focus and help or just a general observation?

[lofty stone]

Anyone having issues after update on dedicated server using chainsaw to pick up vegetation?

[dusty vortex]

god speed

[lofty stone]

Or even picking up off the ground with E?

Tried restarting client and server

[upper crest]

not sure if that pic I posted helps, but it should be pointing at the server's internal IP

[tender thicket]

Chainsaws p borked rn look at #patch-notes

[chrome pumice]

You sure that's the only firewall?

[frosty gale]

what stinks is on october 21st im gonna wake up, buy space age and startup a new server with no issues whatsoever

[zinc lily]

I still cant join my own newly setup server via local IP or Outside IP even though ive setup the port forwarding and local firewall (Also tried turning OFF Windows Firewall). I only get this

https://imgur.com/a/uSp3mqO

And I know its attempting to connect cause I see all of the connection attempts on the server itself. This happens whether I use the local IP or Public Facing IP. I know Port 7777 works because I had a Palworld server using this same box and they use 7777 for their server and I had no issues with me and my friends connecting to that game server with that port.

https://imgur.com/HD0IaRX

and this is the string in the BAT file

FactoryServer.exe -multihome=0.0.0.0 -ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any -log -unattended

Unless im missing something major. Adding it as server shows it as offline unnamed server (It is new, but I cant claim it). Im at a loss what to do now. Versions match, time is synced on my PC and the Server exactly. Other than Linux based server lines, I cant seem to find any other Windows Server based suggestions now.

[ripe steppe]

remove multihome

[frosty gale]

why are you using multihome

[tender thicket]

remove flags 1 and 2

[frosty gale]

remove it

[tight spire]

i have opened and forwarded all 3 port's. If i launch without multihost its work localy, but with multihost it's sending me that it's unabled to bind to 7777. Ip is public and was worked on other games. unluck?

[eager thunder]

holy moly. this proves my point. Chat is moving too fast to get actual help. Right now, the logs are not providing much help. The server API responds with a 404 as stated before. This is after completely blowing away the folder and rerunning the steamcmd - no other changes - just running the exe on the default port - same result

[tender thicket]

We dont use 3 ports anymore

Just 7777 in tcp/udp

[gloomy crown]

It looks right, you could always try just restarting your router & the computer you're hosting the server on. You can google any port checking tool (i usually use canyouseeme) and see if it can see the open port. Make sure the server is running before you try to check the port, as it will always show closed if nothing is actively using the port.

[tender thicket]

bro why are u complaining, we are normal ppl helping other normal ppl

If ur getting a 404 thats a half decent sign as well

[frosty gale]

is the actual server starting all the way or no

[eager thunder]

Thank you for that helpful msg

[tender thicket]

It means ur getting a response

[zinc lily]

A suggestion ive seen alot, ive tried the bog standard FactoryServer.exe - -log -unattended which doesnt work either

[upper crest]

from what I can tell the server should be allowed both through the router/modem and windows firewall

[eager thunder]

Yes

[frosty gale]

you should keep it that way to simplify things

[tender thicket]

two dashes? Is that a message mistype or is that ur actual start

[frosty gale]

and you cannot join it from server manager?

[zinc lily]

no, says its Offline

[tender thicket]

Theres the ghost dash after exe

[eager thunder]

correct

[frosty gale]

what is the server manager error?

[wheat pewter]

Set up a dedicated server for 1.0 yesterday. Working well so far, but I see today that there is an update. How do I go about installing updates on my server?

[zinc lily]

but when I add it to server manager I see it trying to connect on the server side

[frosty gale]

the same way you installed it

[eager thunder]

brb - while I test again and get that for you

[lofty stone]

Man, super difficult to power a factory w/ bio fuel if you can't pick up any grass.

[tight spire]

still LogHttpListener: Error: HttpListener unable to bind to 0.0.0.0:7777

[wheat pewter]

You run the same command line on steamcmd? Don't need to worry about losing saves or anything?

[tender thicket]

Did u forward tcp and udp?

[frosty gale]

yes

[tight spire]

yes

[tender thicket]

can u connect locally

is this server local or a hosting co

[chrome pumice]

Have you tested from some scanner tool or website?

[slim salmon]

welcome back. thats why I frowned. Private IP works. Good.
Server works and all. Routing seems the issue. I still would say try this bindIp Any thing. It's clone enough and in the pinned messages.
Maybe server only listens on 192.xxx

[wheat pewter]

okay, thank you!

[frosty gale]

server is on the same machine and youre using localhost to join?

[tight spire]

no its just crush on launch after this message

[zinc lily]

no, seperate box

[frosty gale]

same network?

[tender thicket]

Are u on proxmox?

[zinc lily]

yup, same subnet and everything

[tight spire]

no, my own on another pc

[zinc lily]

Box is also on a static IP internally

[frosty gale]

firewall issue id assume

[tender thicket]

So its hosted on another windows PC?

[upper crest]

truth be told I'm not sure of what site/tool would do me well since I've not really used one before

[tight spire]

si

[tender thicket]

Okay

You should check if something is using that port already

look online as to how you can do that

[slim salmon]

just try connecting via your public IP. If that works its probably on your friends end.

[chrome pumice]

Somebody get this person a website for scanning ports. I don't know one of the top of my head.

[coarse canyon]

Hello, has anyone here already used the API function UploadSaveGame? I have read the documentation but I always get the error bad_request: Malformed multipart data.. I have tried different requests.

[frosty gale]

do you have tcp and udp traffic allowed on port 7777

[zinc lily]

Its trying to connect though

[frosty gale]

is that your machines ip

[slim salmon]

Add the pinned message argument. ini ip bind any.

[zinc lily]

No thats the gateway IP

[eager thunder]

using port 15200 and yes.

[frosty gale]

nobody im aware of
i couldnt really figure it out either

[sweet fable]

Anyone else having issues getting the steamcmd linux version to be on the same version as your local version?

[upper crest]

just tried and unfortunately it doesn't work

[frosty gale]

as long as you set that port in startup args then that should be good

[coarse canyon]

ok, let me know when you have found out

[ripe steppe]

Yes, same here

[slim salmon]

I'd say the same thing as a minute ago. Pinned message. Add the ip bind any argument. (Im not sure in your case but maybe you're lucky)

Is your game server virtualised?

[chrome pumice]

I just updated mine and it worked. What command did you run to update it?

[ripe steppe]

+force_install_dir "C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer" +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

[frosty gale]

what language are you using

[sweet fable]

This, mostly

[tight spire]

clean

only 2 pc in

[coarse canyon]

i use php

[frosty gale]

yikes

[upper crest]

I assume the pinned message you're referring to is the most recent with the video? Also my server is not virtualized

[tender thicket]

Yeah u only need to run it on the server itself

[chrome pumice]

This should work unless the update hasn't made it to the steam server you are hitting.

[tight spire]

the up one is server cmd

[sweet fable]

steamcmd +force_install_dir /home/steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

[slim salmon]

actually the third: -ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any

[sweet fable]

Interesting... I would have assumed my local machine and my server (across the room from me) would be getting the same update from the same region

How would I check?

[ripe steppe]

file size is 13156329973

[sweet fable]

(sorry, pretty new to steamcmd)

[chrome pumice]

Same command I ran. If it didn't update only thing I can think of is the steam server being slow.

[chrome pumice]

It should.

[sweet fable]

It did update, although I'm getting the message aabove

Maybe if I readd the server to the manager....nope

[frosty gale]

its possible your server maybe isnt fully loading?

the http api will go busy when the server is working on something

[chrome pumice]

Are you sure you updated to the right directory and you don't have the new version somewhere else?

[slim salmon]

try renaming/moving the install dir OR use a new install dir.
i couldnt update to new version. a "reinstall" helped

[sweet fable]

I'm starting to wonder that -- let me check something...

[ripe steppe]

doing exactly that right now, almost 100% finished

its very slow at the end

[chrome pumice]

Yeah I just updated my server about 5 minutes ago with no issues. And you ran the same thing as me.

[zinc lily]

Removed Multihome, restarted, still no connection though the server sees someone trying

[eager thunder]

It looks started. How would I tell?

[chrome pumice]

Error or just showing offline?

[eager thunder]

Added that. No change.

[frosty gale]

I guess id have to see logs

[zinc lily]

yes

[native dew]

I'm operating a dedicated server for 1.0.0.1 on Linux and I'd like to know if updates will be applied automatically during a reboot or if manual action is required.

[zinc lily]

Sorry

offline

[chrome pumice]

That was not a yes or no question.

[chrome pumice]

Ok then something is wrong port forwarding related.

[zinc lily]

Yea sorry, its showing this

[slim salmon]

did you try double check the post. If this multihome applies for you and such. I'm sorry I had the error you've shown too and the bind fixed it for me :C

[gloomy crown]

I use Linux GSM and it makes it super easy to do something like this. You could set a cron jobs to make sure the server hasn't crashed, auto-check for updates, apply updates, etc.

[chrome pumice]

How do you do your reboot?

[sweet fable]

ok that does not look right

[chrome pumice]

That's how mine looked.

[chrome pumice]

As long as it doesn't fully timeout your good.

[zinc lily]

Ive added and readded the Port forwarding to the router now a few times. Tried combined TCP/UDP then I seperated the entries. This router doesnt let me select a specific IP on the network, it only lets me selects devices by name but this is what I have right now

[sweet fable]

Very interesting! I did eventually get a Success so I guess I 'll reboot the box and see what happens

[native dew]

@gloomy crown thanks for the info. I’ll read up on this

[eager thunder]

Sorry - no idea what multihome is.

[chrome pumice]

Weird router. Have you scanned from external to see if the port shows as open?

[zinc lily]

Yea, it doesnt

[zinc lily]

Ive also restarted it multiple times after changing the port forwarding

[eager thunder]

can send a zip of it I guess. probably a bad idea tho.

[chrome pumice]

And just to confirm the server was running when you tested?

[zinc lily]

correct

[narrow tulip]

Whoah, there is a serious bug if a player dies and then exits the game instead of respawning. They won't be able to get their corpse and instead it just creates an offline ghost body that you have to revive, and then it slowly teleports to a location and then I guess I need to kill the offline body to recover the contents of the inventory.

[chrome pumice]

Does the machine have a firewall built in?

[zinc lily]

Yes, I turned it off though to remove that barrier

[upper crest]

Found out the issue. I recently switched ISPs and the new router/modem I have is not as intuitive when it comes to setting up port forwarding

[tender thicket]

Seems like more of a game bug than a dedi server bug

[upper crest]

all is good on my end now

[thick tusk]

Did you reboot your router after adding those? about half the ones ive used need a reboot for port forwarding to kick in

[frosty gale]

well whats the most recent chunk of logs in the console right now, you can send an image maybe

[zinc lily]

Yep, multiple times now

[chrome pumice]

Your 100% sure it's off? Also is your router external IP a cgnat?

[zinc lily]

IP starts with 10, ive read 100 is CGNAT but I dont know for sure

[desert plover]

10.x.x.x is a local IP

[upper crest]

@slim salmon @gloomy crown @quick mist ty for all the help!

[thick tusk]

CGnat doesnt have to be 100. Check your routers IP vs your outside IP. If theyre different..youre on cgnat

[chrome pumice]

Yeah 10 is private IP so they have another nat happening and you need to get them to open the ports.

[eager thunder]

then lots of the last 5 repeating

[zinc lily]

This also fails if I try to connect from the local network 192.168 address

same issue

[frosty gale]

looks like the server loaded

[ripe steppe]

strange. Reinstall fixed the version problem

[chrome pumice]

If local fails also then I don't think the host has its firewall off.

[frosty gale]

and you went to the api url on a browser and it gave you a warning about self signed ssl certificate?

[zinc lily]

Sorry the outside IP starts with 99, used to be 10 at a different location

[chrome pumice]

That's a public IP so that's good at least.

[eager thunder]

seems so. I assume the game Server Manager needs the API to work, this is why I had mentioned my failed API test....

[frosty gale]

it uses the same api yes

that should be working I would assume

you could try making your own api request if you can code and all that

[eager thunder]

I can.. C# and all, but shouldn't need to. The browser GET should be enough of a test.

[slim salmon]

not sure you might wanna POST :>

[frosty gale]

well you need to make a post

I think the docs said it supports get in specific scenarios

but you still need to send the function in a json packet

[mossy seal]

Hey, can someone help me?
I have just set up a Server following this tutorial;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NIYZHxYcas&t=389s

Now, I can join the Server by typing in the IPV4 adress and I can play on It, my friend cant though.
For him it says "Server Offline" and "Not Authenticated"

[eager thunder]

yeah the docs said a simple browser get test would be fine

[frosty gale]

did you port forward on port 7777 udp and tcp as well as allow the server through your firewall

[tough juniper]

1. You need to connect via the server manager. Even if you manage to get a connection, it throws an encryption error
2. IPv6 seems to be broken atm. I found nobody able to join a server over IPv6 yet. I made an issue on the forums, feel free to upvote so it gets more attention:
   https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e348d4772a987f4a8ae1e9

[mossy seal]

yes

[frosty gale]

well technically the api is at /api/v1

but yea I guess its showing ok

[eager thunder]

same response

[frosty gale]

is your server port forwarded and everything right now?

[sweet fable]

And it works! Thank you everyone!

[eager thunder]

yes - and I get the same 404 from local (on the server) and my gaming machine (through the port forwarding chain)

[sweet fable]

(now I just need to figure out wtf is wrong with my routers port forwarding, but for now, I will enjoy a local network play 🙂)

[eager thunder]

so I know it's getting through (the JSON error body is the same)

[idle carbon]

hi, ive got the same problem like @granite flume , u can add both protocols to the port forwarding and they all have the same internal port thats going to the server (7777), but they have different external ports, and i cant get around it. if i try to connect to the server in satisfactory (UDP - external 4471 internal 7777 port ) the server answers but with an API error (i added the 4471 port in the connection window)

if i try to connect local, there are no issues. Is there a workaround for fritzbox users, or can i assing the server ports different for TCP and UDP? Or can Fritzbox owners just not host a dedicated server?

[fresh heath]

what is the best service to buy servers for satisfactory?
i heard nitrado is pretty nice

[frosty gale]

i mean its not definitive proof the api is working but

[slim salmon]

good thing you replied to keep the thread intact.
I do remember! Sadly I personally haven't seen a fix nor could I replicate (or so I was told, I dont have the hardware)

[chrome pumice]

An API error? What is your startup command.

[eager thunder]

no - the API is not working, but the networking bit is working.

[frosty gale]

could I have the server ip or no

[eager thunder]

mine?

[frosty gale]

yea

[idle carbon]

the default yesterday with the workaround, today after patch i canged it back

[slim salmon]

(oh use the workaround. today I havent got an API error but "server offline" error instead. the workaround fixed it for me)

[deep turret]

you should have the option for "both" usually

[eager thunder]

sent

[idle carbon]

not in my fritzbox

[chrome pumice]

So just ./FactoryServer.sh nothing else?

[junior wagon]

does anyone know how to update a server that's on linux?

[deep turret]

so you dont have both, but you also cant make 2 different rules with same port ?

man I hate these box devs

[idle carbon]

./FactoryServer.sh -⁠multihome=XXXXXX -log -unattended

[slim salmon]

#dedicated-servers message

[idle carbon]

yes exactly

[chrome pumice]

Remove multihome and try again.

[chrome pumice]

Rerun your install command.

[slim salmon]

as I understood it binds 7777 UDP to ... 12345 UDP and when you try add TCP it binds to 12346 and gives you a warning that your wished weren't respected.

[idle carbon]

yes

[deep turret]

you just changed your profil right ?

[chrome pumice]

This fritzbox thing seems like a piece of shit ngl.

[idle carbon]

?

[deep turret]

ok then I just had a brain bug

[idle carbon]

defualt german hardware xD

[deep turret]

confused you with someone else

[chrome pumice]

Tho with API issue tham means you are connected to the server but something is not handshakeing correctly.

[slim salmon]

honestly it sounds like a weird thing I'd ask manufacture support. (I havent found anything googling that issue).
Its a bit bizarre and I know not every fritz box suffers this issue.

Maybe search with exactly your model number.

[idle carbon]

and i think its the ports because technically the server is only recieving one protocol not both

[slim salmon]

(do we need both. have you tried just playing with one port.
If you make me guess (and I dont see any icecream but anyway)
try just UDP and see if game works. maybe TCP just for the nice http api etc stuff)

[idle carbon]

no if i only use UDP i get an api error

[slim salmon]

oh riiight. ugh.

[deep turret]

you cant connect if it does not show you the connect button which is after server status panel

[chrome pumice]

Not exactly before the updated today you would get that API error because the port binding on the host side was not working correctly. With the new update I can just do ./FactoryServer.sh with no issues.

[idle carbon]

tried, cant find server, not through local ip and not through dyndns

[deep turret]

local ip ?

if you do not see it with local ip then it means your setup have problems

it does not go by fritzbox

[idle carbon]

no the satisfactory instance doesent get an ip

[chrome pumice]

Does your setup have extra stuff going on. You should be working on local.

[deep turret]

you keep doing less sense

[idle carbon]

runs in a proxmox vm instance

[chrome pumice]

It uses the host IP.

[idle carbon]

with only the satis server

and a static ipv4

cant be any other adress

even opened firewall

[deep turret]

did you setup other game servers like this before ?

[idle carbon]

ye minecraft for example but there it only need 1 tcp port

[deep turret]

vm networking can be set up in several ways

[idle carbon]

im bridging it

so its easy

[deep turret]

"static ip" does not give us a lot of information

[tight spire]

i found the solution

[deep turret]

you meant you set up a static local ip on the fritzbox router settings ?

[tender thicket]

what was the problem

[summer ravine]

are the save files for the dedicated servers stored internally to another file? It seems the only way to get my current save to be seen in the folder is to save and then download from the server manager section

[idle carbon]

no in the ubuntu config

[tight spire]

ipv6 did't allow to use connections for ipv4

[idle carbon]

so that the server cant get any other ip in my network

[tender thicket]

Ah yeah thatd do it

[deep turret]

this will likely not be recognized by the fritzbox

[chrome pumice]

If it's bridged to the proxmox host network. Make sure nothing in there is blocking.

[idle carbon]

there is nothing, for debugging i opened the whole proxmox (the base and the vm itself)

[chrome pumice]

Can it ping the gateway or can you ping it?

[idle carbon]

yes i can ping it

[eager thunder]

For anyone here struggling like I was - former Update 8 setup.. You have to open TCP (not just UDP) when going to 1.0 - THANK YOU @frosty gale

[frosty gale]

I should get like a gold star for 3 days of this shit

I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess

[deep turret]

but .. but it's written everywhere in all the news that now it's both TCP and UDP D:

[chrome pumice]

Then if local doesn't work something is still blocking the ports.

[idle carbon]

it can only be the satis config, because if i try it with multihome it works (locally) fine

[gleaming pike]

i use a CT rather then a VM in proxmox personally, but im not entirely sure the upsides or downsides of it. I'm running fine.

[chrome pumice]

Does external work?

[calm valve]

Anyone having connections problems? I left my server runing with me on it for a few hours, came back to a crash and now I cant join, does the loading animation but kicks me after with some error box ingame

[frosty gale]

I could be satisfying my factory right now but alas server no worky right

at this point im just gonna wait for factorio 2.0

[chrome pumice]

That was a dumb question API error.

[frosty gale]

I know that game wont have any issues on launch

[idle carbon]

kinda, in told in the beginning, its the problem that i only get the UDP traffic through, becaus i cant bind the same external port for 2 protocols

[idle carbon]

ye

[chrome pumice]

You could try changing 1 of the ports so the fritzbox thing won't have the dual port issue?

[eager thunder]

Sorry - I must have missed that, and it wouldn't have been something I would think to check when the API fails to respond to a local GET, when the instructions say that it should.

[idle carbon]

Http Listener and Api Listener run on 0.0.0.0:7777 says the console

[gleaming pike]

that's good, that's what you want to see generally.

[idle carbon]

in the satis config?

[deep turret]

I will stand by that, you configured an abritrary address, and now you ask the fritzbox to forward to it, it will likely not like it at all

#dedicated-servers message

[chrome pumice]

Startup option -Port=<portnum>

[idle carbon]

thats for UDP and TCP?

[deep turret]

also check the virtual machine firewall settings

AND proxmox host firewall settings

[uncut orchid]

I was still having a problem with the API error externally. For some reason my router didn't forward the port until I rebooted my router; which is odd since I haven't had to do that before.

[idle carbon]

yes man, it likes that, it even recognises the server in the port forwarding

[slim salmon]

that would be ~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame or something almost like %APPDATA%/Epic in windows

[idle carbon]

are clear

[idle carbon]

also no rules and offline

thanks for your help everyone, ill try out the port thingi tomorrow need to sleep its 11 pm right now

[frosty gale]

api more like ass poop indigo

[deep turret]

my only recommendation, is to stop using abitrary static ip and let the fritzbox config it, as it's its network, and then tell the fritzbox to assign a static one and redo your forwarding rules to that

[hoary notch]

Hello ^^ I'm looking for help, I'll explain, I have a dedicated server under Windows Server 2022, I created a Satis server to play with a friend, we can join him, play on it without any problem, but when I disconnect from the server, my friend is also disconnected from the server and I have to restart the server to be able to play on it again, any ideas?

[summer ravine]

%LocalAppData%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames is what I have been able to find, but when I go to that folder, the files were last updated on the 10th, but when I go into the game and look at the saved section it was updated 5 mins ago.

[chrome pumice]

I think it changes both but not 100% sure.

[topaz scarab]

what user is it running under

[fathom magnet]

anyone else having issues between dedicated server and game version?
I just force updated both but its still saying the server is on the old version

[topaz scarab]

whats your stack

[deep turret]

do you have -log -unattended as launch arguments ?

[slim salmon]

hmm funny. silly question %LocalAppData% in your own pc or on the server. and isnt %appdata% and %local...% different paths? winfolk we need your powers!!

[chrome pumice]

Know issue no fix eta. You got unlucky.

[chrome pumice]

You sure it's installing to the correct place?

[slim salmon]

renaming the current installation or setting a new force_dir path.
so basically a reinstall. some people had luck with updates. for me the reinstall approach helped.

[summer ravine]

%appdata% takes you to the Roaming folder and %localAppData% takes you to the Local folder LOL

[slim salmon]

(sounds different to me. i dunno. Just guessing. the local tipped me of. so like you sure you see the server files and now your local saves? :> )

[narrow tulip]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e35912772a987f4a8ae38e

Does anyone dare to try and help me reproduce this on their server?

(don't have anything valuable in your inventory)

[gleaming pike]

this has been around a while haha.

[narrow tulip]

oh boy

[summer ravine]

ya windows LOL... Anyways, I did check both folder location and the saves are in the Local\FactoryGame folder. its like the saves are not being saved to the cloud

[safe haven]

I remember seeing this happen previously, and was caused by being connected to EGS (for crossplay) in one instance and then later joining without first connecting.

[gleaming pike]

It also happens if you crash (bugsplat) while in a vehicle

[slim salmon]

sorry. I really dont mean that mockingly. I just dont want to give you bad advise. On which computer is the server program running?

[calm valve]

Any ideas for this?

[summer ravine]

no worres 🙂

[summer ravine]

thank you for trying anyways!

[deep turret]

basically : it does not want to reconnect you into a dead body with the respawn screen, it just respawns you, but maybe then it ignores respawn settings ?
you have "keep equipment" in the settings ?

[safe haven]

Context?

[gleaming pike]

Port forward udp/tcp 7777

[calm valve]

Not a problem all worked 4 hours ago

The server is running for almost 50h now

[chrome pumice]

It's just a timeout. Server was slow to respond once.

[safe haven]

Have you updated your clients and server? The game received a patch some hours ago.

[calm valve]

Oh let me try updating it maybe its that

thanks

[sand galleon]

Anyone else having an intermittent issue where a client will seemingly become "desynced" with the server, where deleting certain objects (ramps, catwalks) deletes them functionally but not visibly? In other words, other clients see it was deleted, but the "desynced" client still sees the object and can walk through it like a ghost. We haven't tried to replicate the issue after today's bug patch yet, but I'll update if we can.

[glacial bear]

Ok, I was playing after the patch got released on my dedicated server, and then brought it down to update it and now that both my game and the server are fully updated I can no longer join. It crashes with a [File:C:\BuildAgent\work\b731a33f2a691e17\UE4\Engine\Source\Runtime\PakFile\Private\IPlatformFilePak.cpp] [Line: 4265] Retry was NOT sucessful. Fatal Error. Can anyone help me out with this?

[chrome pumice]

Verify the install.

[glacial bear]

game or server, or both?

[safe haven]

I would first re-run the installer with the -verifyfiles argument.

[chrome pumice]

Which ever is given that error.

[glacial bear]

got it, I'll take a look. Thank you

[mighty wave]

im having issues running a server on my ubuntu machine, remote players can't join but I can locally. firewall is configured to allow tcp/udp 7777. I can run a server off my windows machine on the same network just fine and remote users can connect

[safe haven]

Is there rubber-banding when walking through a ghost object?

[slim salmon]

is the game server or the ubuntu virtualised?

[safe haven]

Is that after today's 1.0.0.1 patch?

[mighty wave]

nope

[mighty wave]

should be as i was making it after the patch today, but i can double check

[sand galleon]

Minor, but yes. I should also mention restarting the server seems to temporarily fix the issue (deleted item disappears), and the client re-logging can sometimes fix it, but the issue usually reappears fairly quickly with another object.

[chrome pumice]

What is your startup command?

[slim salmon]

Orion: Have you tried to connect via public IP yourself. Also: compare the logs from the ubuntu and the windows server?

[mighty wave]

just ./FactoryServer.sh no options

[mighty wave]

Yes and I have the same issue of not being able to find the server as the remote users. I'll check the logs but nothing stood out to me

[slim salmon]

./FactoryServer.sh "-ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any"
just for fun? (maybe without the quotes?)

[safe haven]

Or just quickly verify what it's binding to with
sudo ss -tulpn | grep 7777
Since that's been the most common problem so far.

If the server is actually running the latest 1.0.0.1 patch then it shouldn't be a problem. But who knows.

[chrome pumice]

Prob windows firewall causing havoc.

[sly ibex]

@quick mist Unattentianllay you have help me resolve my server issue and everything seems to be working smoothly now

For me i was trying to access my server through the external IP like before. Dope mentioned about accessing it througth the Internal. Once i did this i was able to set it up and access the server. Friends were able to access the server through the external

[acoustic patio]

LogGame: Error: Failed to find lightweight buildable during construct deserialization this is bad.

"This is bad"?

[safe haven]

That does sound bad.

[chrome pumice]

What happened to cause this?

[quick mist]

glad to have, uh, helped?

[sly ibex]

Lol

[acoustic patio]

Not sure. I just happened to be looking at the log. I'm not in game rn.

[acoustic patio]

I could ask the players if anything glitched?

[glacial bear]

hey, thank you! worked like a charm

[chrome pumice]

If nothing bad happened in game I would ignore it.

[slim salmon]

I mean. No crashes or other errors? I'd might take it with a grin. Could be an internal note.

[acoustic patio]

Players report no glitches so I'll ignore it.

[slim salmon]

it won't be that bad ™️

[acoustic patio]

™

[rapid spindle]

Anybody experiencing map markers / stamps disappearing? Random clients lose all map markers when they connect to the server.

[granite crystal]

Did the developers at least take note to address the issue of the server going offline after you exit the game?

[atomic perch]

i used steamcmd to update my server using this command
steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

and im still getting this

[quick mist]

update your server

[atomic perch]

no shit

[slim salmon]

"reinstall" as in: rename the current dir. or install to a new dir.
some people are on the unlucky end with updates. (me included)

[quick mist]

if steamcmd still is not updating it, try moving the existing files out of the way and doing a fresh download

the savefiles are in a different location so you won't lose anything

[atomic perch]

thanks

ill try that

[vestal acorn]

anyone having problems with blueprint designer?

[calm valve]

Still Same error 😦

[vestal acorn]

game crashes after one of us made a blueprint

[slim salmon]

we had a wonky blueprint designer last weekend. it was some weird conveyer lift that hated to be deconstructed.
fix: uplaod save to map editor, delete the blueprint, load the modified save on the server ^^'

[calm valve]

100% its something with the save data. My save with +40h doesnt work, the one with 20h works fine :/

[fast ocean]

anyone seen a tilted 8M corner wall kill the server yet?

[earnest dragon]

is there a way to downgrade my client?
server admin already sleeps because the patch came really late and now i cant play anymore bc game and client are diffrent versions >_>

[chrome pumice]

Depends if steam allows it. Some games they do some they don't.

[gleaming pike]

satisfactory doesn't have an older version to select from on steam unfortunately, so no.

[chrome pumice]

💀

[earnest dragon]

In that case this seems to be the biggest problem the game should fix right now. i dont care that much for crashes every few hours

@gleaming pike but thanks for the anwser mate 😗

[slim salmon]

(i think you can stop steam to update the game automatically though. too late to help you right now but for the next days...)

[plush granite]

How do i update the server?

[deep turret]

go check how you installed it

[earnest dragon]

@slim salmon that would not fix the problem, but nope you cant on that game i already took a look

[deep turret]

it will be on the same location

[slim salmon]

uhhhh yes. uhh that's mean _for your convenience ™️ _ 😶

[thick tusk]

ok...so the patch did nothing for my API issues for outsiders.

[earnest dragon]

@slim salmon did you really read that box?
the only thing is that that game only updates when you start it xD
so you cant play on an older version, because when you start the game to play it updates 😄

[thick tusk]

whats the quickest way to delete the server so I can find someone to help and try again?

[slim salmon]

yes. thats why I was making sad nerd noises T_T

[earnest dragon]

😄

well cant be helped

[thick tusk]

anyone?

[quick mist]

depends on how it was installed

[thick tusk]

Through steam satisfactory dedicated server

[quick mist]

Windows or commandline?

[thick tusk]

windows

[quick mist]

telling it to verify file integrigity might could force an update. Failing that, uninstall and reinstall should force a complete fetch of a new installation

[thick tusk]

perfect. ty @quick mist

[frosty gale]

strange how many people are having this issue

[quick mist]

'course, the zeroth step is to just try restarting Steam itself

[earnest dragon]

good luck mate @thick tusk

[thick tusk]

Ty... I need it. Ive never had this many issues with a DC before

anyone willing to DM with me and make sure Im not F'ing it up?

[frosty gale]

whats the deal

[quick mist]

two pair with an king kicker

[topaz scarab]

yeah nvm on the webapp idea; game https api doesn't send cors

[thick tusk]

nope. still a failure

[topaz scarab]

plus you'd have to first manually accept the cert in the browser anyway

[earnest dragon]

since i cant build up my base in the next probably like 15 hours or so i kinda feel tired and go to bed :/
hf fellas

[thick tusk]

can not connect from the outside. still an api error

[topaz scarab]

@quick mist you prob understand what i'm talking about here

[split pier]

Anyone else running into issues with Blueprints? If I place then delete a blueprint my server crashes

Same if someone else places and deletes one

[quick mist]

you can bypass the cert warnings, at least in Python, easily enough, for the purposes of making a Web UI. If you already have a token for your app you can use that to generate new tokens for your app's users (though that seems unnecessary)

[slim salmon]

i had this just last weekend. basically edit file in the online map, remove the blueprint designer, then load the edited savefile

[thick tusk]

Faulty Blueprints use to do that for me

[topaz scarab]

i know python won't care, i just wanted to do a browser-only app for it

[split pier]

All I did was make a 1 to 8 Load Balancer - Very first blueprint on the server

It didnt like it 😂

[topaz scarab]

may want to upvote the issue on the qa site so they see it

[quick mist]

several have reported making "cursed" blueprints that even crash local games if the save is downloaded

[thick tusk]

so something isnt right...I deleted the server. Deleted the left over folders. reinstalled...restarted...and the thing started with the old server name again...like it had left over files somewhere... is there a 2nd file location for dedicated servers?

[gilded moat]

So ehh, maybe it’s been answered but what’s the status on mods

[quick mist]

@thick tusk yes, server saves and state files are stored separately from the server itself, so that you can remove and reinstall it without losing your world

[slim salmon]

bb: you could serve the webapp from the same ip (to avoid cors). and i just seen some cert docs somewhere. (path to cert file?) but cant find them right now :/

[quick mist]

the only mod currently is Vanilla

[thick tusk]

you know the path by chance so I can try deleting 1 more time?

[ivory zinc]

What are the .ini changed i need to make to increase the bandwidth on my dedicated server, i tried a bunch and nothing worked

[quick mist]

not off the top of my head on Windows, but maybe in %AppData% or %LocalAppData% somewhere?

[topaz scarab]

yeah but that would require end user deployment
this was gonna be like a github pages static site that they could just go to

[thick tusk]

yup. Thats it. AppData\Local

[topaz scarab]

would've been cool, oh well

[slim salmon]

like... if you really package it with <style> and <script (yes also the lib source if any)
you get away with a single index.html
so deployment would literally be put this file in a folder and run python -m http.server in it.... ...hmm well it's not really meant to a productive server T_T

[thick tusk]

well here goes 1 more attempt before calling this a failure

[topaz scarab]

yup, that's already 1 step too many for most lol

[slim salmon]

if you can find a way around cors you can just tell them open this index.html in your browser. save it on your desktop. no server needed even. but cors...
(i havent dibbled. i mean. really. cant just js.post to any domain. its that strict? so long since i have tried)

[topaz scarab]

threw a feature request into the void, we'll see

[thick tusk]

LogOnlineServices: Error: [FLobbiesCommon::Initialize] Failed to initialize schema registry
[2024.09.12-22.48.15:653][ 0]LogOnlineSchema: Error: Invalid schema category lobby: Service descriptor id lobby not found.

[2024.09.12-22.48.15:655][ 0]LogOnlineServices: Error: [FLobbiesCommon::Initialize] Failed to initialize schema registry

are those errors an issue?

[quick mist]

no, I don't think so

[thick tusk]

it all looks correct then... here we go. logging in on my main machine to "claim it"

[slim salmon]

go for it 🐅 !

[thick tusk]

for claiming...should I be using the exter ip or my internal? last time I used internal

[slim salmon]

I'd say it should not matter. Internal to make it smooth. But later try external for yourself too,to make sure it works.

[broken widget]

can anyone help me with encryption token missing

[quick mist]

connect using the Server Manager, not Join Game

[topaz scarab]

btw do you care for some help with your sf-tools

[quick mist]

I'd be delighted to accept some issues or pull requests

[thick tusk]

local found it np. setting up now. External seems to still give an api error

[patent hatch]

How do you update a dedicated server? I am running it via SteamCMD

[quick mist]

external might do that because a lot of routers don't like 'rubber-band' connection routes

[quick mist]

the same SteamCMD sequence you used to install will also update it

(or should)

[topaz scarab]

turn loopback on in the port forward port setting

[thick tusk]

still with an api error trying to join with the external ip...

any experts here that could help? Im seriously frustrated and dont know how to fix this issue

[deep turret]

I can confirm it is always a bit better with streaming off on huge saves, the ram usage is less without stream than with streaming on after 10min gameplay (because I moved around but not much)

[quick mist]

if you can connect on the Internal but not the External that's pretty common with most routers. If you want to share your address I'd be happy to check connectivity for you

[thick tusk]

DM'ed

[tribal lance]

has anyone else been seeing crashes when other people place wall power things?

[broken widget]

that gives control over the server tho?

[frosty gale]

So I was able to get my dedicated server working by using "localhost" as the address instead of my local IP, what does my friend need to connect?

[broken anchor]

crash back to desktop?

[deep turret]

either streaming does not disable itself with the option or it's automatic off on big saves
or it is enable/disabled still
but it is not useful in any way at big saves I can confirm no better no significantly worse

weird that it works a bit like bomb tripping btw

[south oracle]

your public ip

[tribal lance]

Yeah, everyone but the person who palced it

happened a couple times already, oddly

[sturdy elk]

Okay, is there documentation on server commands?

I need to kill a player

[covert tusk]

having the issue where outside clients cannot get local isuer certificat (20) . wondering if this has something to do with it and what to do about it: [2024.09.12-21.00.26:564][ 0]LogServer: Warning: Server API is running using a Self-Signed Certificate.

[2024.09.12-21.00.26:564][ 0]LogServer: Warning: To verify the certificate integrity on the Client, make sure the following Fingerprint matches with the Client one:

[dawn sparrow]

Anyone updating their Dedicated Server but still saying client mismatch?

[thick tusk]

ok, so... everyone can enter my external IP and see the game online. People can ping and see all the ports open. But nobody using external IP can join. They still get the classic api issue. Does anyone have any ideas?

Looking for anything at this point because it failing makes no sense

[covert tusk]

my command line does not contain multihome, but it's behaving like it does. Are there default configs that contain multihome that might be picked up by the server at start?

[deep turret]

still only 5GB with streaming disabled

[thick tusk]

I really dont know. I dont use command lines so I wouldnt even know where to look. Plus the patch was supposed to fix that

[slim salmon]

NoCarrot: I do not really understand the error. The fingerprint is the "internet way" to make sure you are talking to the server you want to talk to.
if you like you can compare the fingerprints with your friends to be on the safe side. but.. eh 🙂

JRoy: Yes it was asked a few times. Basically rename the current installation dir or install it to a new dir. Some people (including me) got late or no server updates but a reinstall helped.

Vrokar: Have you tried the ini bindIp-Any argument. Sorry I haven't follwoed your case. I mean you're people seeing the game via external IP suggest port forwarding is soliud. API issue is what I have seen too. It would make sense. The game server just listens to local IP unless explicitely told to listen to any IP with the command line argument

I change trains now. I think I rest a bit 🙂

[quick mist]

no it does not. it manages connections to dedicated servers. you only get control over the server if you have the password the admin set up

[thick tusk]

I have not. Im not really sure how to use the argument

[thick tusk]

Could you help me with that bit?

[slim salmon]

how do you start your server? docker image. steam gui. command line?

[sturdy elk]

How did you install it?

[thick tusk]

Directly through steam

[marble owl]

can anyone help me with the server name pending and its saying not authenticated

[slim salmon]

right click, properties/manage? then theres an input field for additional command line arguments put the -ini ... int there. starting with the dash

[covert tusk]

Server start batch file. Originally i tried just -log and -unattended as the switches, but now I'm testing FactoryServer.exe -ServerQueryPort=15777 -BeaconPort=15000 -Port=7777 -ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any -log -unattended

[thick tusk]

like so?

[slim salmon]

i like that!

[limber sparrow]

Hey anyone else have problems with the mk6 belts the throughput is between 1080-1100

[covert tusk]

I use steamcmd for mine

[limber sparrow]

sorry for spoiler 😉

[twilit fox]

hahaha... did you actually think they'd do 1200?

[thick tusk]

Is that right @slim salmon ?

[limber sparrow]

i really was hopeful they do it better then mk2 pipes ; )

[twilit fox]

that's just wishful thinking. given how the release has been so far I feel kind of letdown.

[slim salmon]

@thick tusk yes

[thick tusk]

ok

[twilit fox]

now if they got mk5 belts to handle their rated speed pretty reliability I'll be happy.

[thick tusk]

having my friend try again

[quick mist]

a letdown, eh? that's certainly a take one can have.

[limber sparrow]

the ship is out off the dock now i have time to find the errors in the game 😉

[pale kraken]

could someone on epic games tell me their game version?

[limber sparrow]

366202

[pale kraken]

ty

[thick tusk]

No Luck. Same API error

[pale kraken]

have they rolled out an update for dedicated servers to be on the same version?

[gilded haven]

CL#366202

[limber sparrow]

yes had to update the server 10 min ago

[pale kraken]

ty

[slim salmon]

but when you add the server in ingame server manager with your public ip it works?
hm. either some fancy NAT magic or problem seems to be on friends end. I don't know :/

[thick tusk]

no. If I use the public IP I get the same error. But all websites testing show everything open.

[tacit flax]

Yes

[thick tusk]

all we can see with the publick IP is all the game name info, ping etc.

Im thinking change some router settings...but everything is open...so...I dont know what I even could change

[quick mist]

I was even able to test Vrokar's UDP and TCP endpoints successfully from outside their LAN

[thick tusk]

yea its...pretty odd

[quick mist]

my test site has good IPv6 but my home does not

and from home my game client also had issues seeing Vrok's server

[mellow barn]

?

[thick tusk]

yea...I seriously have no idea what else to try

[frosty gale]

whats happenin

[marble owl]

yall stuck with not authenticated problem too ?

[mellow barn]

It's up to date....

[frosty gale]

yea everyones been having this issue you need to delete the server and reinstall

[quick mist]

the server is clearly not

[frosty gale]

where does the server put its saves on linux

[quick mist]

~/.config/EpicGames/Factorygame/ and a couple more directories deep

[frosty gale]

ok so its still not in the install folder

[quick mist]

no, the saves and state files are kept separate so that reinstalls won't destroy saves

this is true for both client and server

[thick tusk]

I am

[mellow barn]

have they not pushed the update for server yet?

[quick mist]

they have but sometimes you hvae to force SteamCMD to fetch it by removing the existing server files to force a redownload

[thick tusk]

I thought they did. But it seems to have not worked

[mellow barn]

ok

ty

[quick mist]

[bold atlas]

Are people able to use Blueprints on their server? mine is not working, they don't seem to be saving when I save them in the blueprint maker

are dedis still capped at 7?

[quick mist]

that's normal; it's not a full restart just a momentary downtime to do some housekeeping and clock calibration. most times players connected don't even get kicked

[silent forum]

Thanks

Was just thrown off by the Error message

[bold atlas]

what file do blueprints get written to

[quick mist]

same location as the world saves I think

[cinder atlas]

@sturdy gust Hey, just wondered if you might be able to help, when I try to save a blueprint the game just crashes out, and I cant get back in, i have to restore the game to a previous save, so blueprints are unusable?

[quick mist]

four by default but it can be adjusted higher in config files. not sure how high the cap is but I've seen some running as high as twenty

[limber sparrow]

you have your own servers at home or at a hoster ?

[marble berry]

cool. I found the ini settings. thanks.

[gilded haven]

where is that?
think I need to change mine as well

[marble berry]

The host has to navigate to %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\Windows\Game.ini, and add the following lines to the end of that file:

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=X

should be in your server files in a similar location

[frosty gale]

Weird question, i see that some mods say they dont work on linux servers (according to SMM3) are they all non linux or will they work regardless

[tacit flax]

Anyone know a way to fix stuttering on a server you’re connecting to but host

All the people I have on my server don’t get the starters I do. It’s really weird.

[marble berry]

mine appears to be here BASEDIRECTORY/serverfiles/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini

[gilded haven]

thanks

[fierce tendon]

i've been trying to figure out the http api, it's been an uphill battle. i've got a python implementation of the query service, and implementation of the HealthCheck function. no clue about how authorization works, apparently you can get server status information as a non-admin via client auth? 🤷‍♂️

[frosty gale]

theres an api wrapper for python already

if youd rather use that

[fierce tendon]

i haven't found it in search, can you link pls?

[frosty gale]

its called pyfactorybridge

[fierce tendon]

ty

[frosty gale]

its in the package manager

it doesnt support download and upload saves and the docs dont exist but it works pretty well for what it is

[fierce tendon]

no results in google for pyfactorybridge. the project isn't on git anywhere, no wonder i haven't found it lol

[frosty gale]

thats far

you can pip it

or find it on pypi

https://github.com/Jayy001/PyFactoryBridge

[fierce tendon]

thank you. pypi page needs to link to that. also 1.0 has been out for two days, it's baffling that none of this is locatable in search engines yet

[cinder atlas]

Panic over, however if you want to use blueprints, do not end your game with a . or like me a ... as it wont find the mods, the folder names wont let it end in a ...

[jovial snow]

hey how can i setup ,y dedicated Server that when all players leave the Server do not shutdown?

[frosty gale]

thats a bug

[jovial snow]

oh ok that means i have to wait that it was fixed ?

[frosty gale]

you mean like the server shuts off when everyone leaves and you have to restart it

[jovial snow]

yes exactly

[cinder atlas]

you just need to untick the box in the server manager that says "pause when empty" or something along those words

[jovial snow]

that i have already done but the the server shuts down

[shrewd glacier]

Auto-pause, but it doesn't close the server, it just remains idle until a player connects. If it shut down completely, as in closed, you would have to manually start it. Might as well just manually close it when everyone is offline.

[limber sparrow]

The MK6 Belt Problem is only on Dedicated Server take down the Safefile to my local client there the belt works with 1200 on the Server only about 1080

[topaz scarab]

dang it, that's what i was looking for
and they've already implemented everything
ty lol

[formal ridge]

My corpse got launched into the kill wall via some bug

Is there any commands to fix this?

[topaz scarab]

rollback a save?

[jovial snow]

How can I set it so that it no longer pauses automatically

[shrewd glacier]

Disable auto-pause.

[jovial snow]

In the control center?

[shrewd glacier]

When you view it via the server manager, you can set it in the Server Settings menu.

[jovial snow]

Ah ok thx

[limber sparrow]

or in Serversetting.ini

[/Script/FactoryGame.FGServerSubsystem]
mAutoPause=False
mAutoSaveOnDisconnect=False
mUsePacketRouting=False

[shrewd glacier]

If you have it disabled and you see something like this in the chat: "LogServer: Display: Server startup time elapsed and saving/level loading is done, auto-pause is allowed to proceed from now on (if enabled in server settings)." don't worry, despite the message mentioning auto-pause, it'll behave as the setting you set.

[cinder atlas]

someone beat me to it

[fierce tendon]

does the interactive map site have a thing for moving death crates

[cinder atlas]

you can add your items back to your player

[south current]

yes but don't know if it's updated yet

[shrewd glacier]

You're better off using the Server Manager to configure it unless you don't plan to launch the game.

[obsidian elk]

<@&387163995947270144> is there a specific day of the week that satisfactory gets updated? I have server just want to keep it live for people ty! 🙂

[topaz scarab]

yeah, mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays,

thursdays, fridays, saturdays,

sundays

[grizzled torrent]

Right now patches will come when there are finished. But i would guess that for the next 4 days no patch will come

[topaz scarab]

no patches until next week wew

[shrewd glacier]

A better question would be whether or not they're scheduled for specific times of the day. Some MMOs do this at 00:00 UTC.

[abstract moon]

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it here, but I use a tunnel server to allow connection to my server and we found the you need to make sure the Tunnel is a TCP+UDP tunnel to account for the API being on TCP

[frosty gale]

not to sound rude but that should be obvious

[quick mist]

yes, it's documented that the server needs both TCP and UDP connectivity

[gusty oak]

new to setting up a server. I have it on a second computer and can connect to it through the server manager on my gaming pc but get "encryption token missing" when doing join with direct IP. I have all the port fowards the wiki says to have open and used .\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended -multihome=192.168.1.xxx -⁠ServerQueryPort=1577 -⁠BeaconPort=15000 -Port=7777 -unattended

I can't find anything on why i get "encryption token missing" when i can join through the server manager which was set up with the same ip

[frosty gale]

get rid of multihome beaconport and queryport first off

[topaz scarab]

use the right wiki, for one

[frosty gale]

also you cannot use join game

only server manager

[gusty oak]

If my friend wants to play, does he do the same then?

[frosty gale]

yes

[quick mist]

The Server Manager is more of a Server Connection Manager

[frosty gale]

its a server manager in the sense that its a page for you to manage all the servers you have added

not necessarily own

it doesnt make a lot of sense but it makes a little sense

[gusty oak]

well that explains it better, only ever did single player until a friend asked. I'll give that a try, ty!

[topaz scarab]

most games just call it server list

[limber sparrow]

If anyone reach MK6 belts in the next days take a look at the max speed

[frosty gale]

honestly what they should do is make the client catch the token auth error and simply redirect the user to use the server manager instead

[topaz scarab]

or remove join game and rename server manager to join game

[quick mist]

but what would they do if there is a real token auth error when doing a P2P connection?

[topaz scarab]

if you change the cert it'll ask you to approve again

[quick mist]

what I'd suggest is Join Game -> Choose P2P or Dedicated -> either the existing P2P interface or the Server Manager

[frosty gale]

all they actaully have to do is when you do join game they send a single post to a supposed http api and if theres no response its a client and if there is its a server

[limber sparrow]

If you ahve connection problems you should change your hoster

[quick mist]

or just rename "Server Manager" to "Dedicated Servers"

[frosty gale]

or yea design a better menu but who cares about ui design

thats like

somebody elses problem man

[quick mist]

honestly if the biggest beefs you have with a game is nitpicking the menu.. your game is in a pretty good state

[paper perch]

weren't we promised a graphical UI for servers? where can I find that lol

[frosty gale]

-newconsole arg

windows only

[topaz scarab]

ingame, lmao

[frosty gale]

this game is not in a good state

[paper perch]

ok maybe I'm blind lol I'll check later

[paper perch]

thanks

[frosty gale]

i am walking around the meth den commenting how the floor boards are squeaky

[topaz scarab]

literally can't even start at tier 0 onboarding

[quick mist]

the decicated servers still need some love, but the game overall? I disagree.

[topaz scarab]

servers are always an afterthought

shame, really

[frosty gale]

multiplayer is always an afterthought

[quick mist]

I'd rather have 'em be an afterthought than unthought-of

don't let 'perfect' be the enemy of 'good'
