dedicated-servers

[deep turret]

if you are using ipv4 home network

[proper abyss]

So i copy it from my network thing

[deep turret]

you can go check whatsmyip or similar services

[atomic venture]

whatsmyip should give you public IP though

Are you looking for the IP to give to your friends Rayan, or trying to port forward?

[deep turret]

if you want a direct sober open service you can check api4.ipify.org

[proper abyss]

Ok now what do i do\

[deep turret]

it will just give you that

[proper abyss]

i got it

It says it offline]

How do i start

[proper abyss]

give to friends

so we can play

[shy bane]

Created other steam account to host a dedicated lan satisfactory server on my laptop, created the game, when use my main gaming pc, which on the ame lan, I get "Encryption token missing"???

[atomic venture]

that would be the public ip that whatsmyip gives you then

[deep turret]

I thought that's what they were asking for

[chrome pumice]

Is the server running?

[proper abyss]

It says it offline

[deep turret]

you dont need an other steam account at all

[chrome pumice]

Yes but did you start the server?

[proper abyss]

No

How do i start

[atomic venture]

don't you have to claim it first by connecting locally?

[chrome pumice]

Run the .exe that got installed.

[shy bane]

@deep turret Ok, how do it with a steam account?

[proper abyss]

Where do i find it''

I cant see

[chrome pumice]

In the install directory.

[proper abyss]

but which

one

[deep turret]

you mean a single steam account ?

[proper abyss]

like

The install directory is where in which file

i dont see any'

to start the server

[deep turret]

there is 2 ways :

• using steamcmd +login anonymous
• using normal steam, but launching the server manually (without steam)

[zealous jewel]

hello, looking for a dedicated server to join

[proper abyss]

@chrome pumice

Where

which

[steel osprey]

wrong channel

[deep turret]

#1201555265942724758

[zealous jewel]

ok ty

[proper abyss]

So how do i start the server

[deep turret]

the dreaded missing file extension

[proper abyss]

What

[deep turret]

please for your own good change the windwos default setting, and show file extensions

[proper abyss]

Wheres that

[deep turret]

especially for that kind of stuff it will make it much simpler

[proper abyss]

to show it

[deep turret]

in the explorer view settings

"afficher"

[lapis wolf]

Make a batch file to run/upate the server, change the file path to match your install location

c:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit
c:\gameservers\satisfactoryserver\FactoryServer.exe -unattended -log
pause

[proper abyss]

Oh

[chrome pumice]

FactoryServer.exe or just FactoryServer.

[proper abyss]

oh

[shy bane]

@deep turret Does steam allow more one login with same account, becasue when using my steam it would logout me out of the steam on my main pc

[quick mist]

with .exe files the extension can be implied in Windowsland

[proper abyss]

Ok i think i got it

[chrome pumice]

No

[proper abyss]

thanks

[deep turret]

yes, but not launching mulitple games on different pc

[quick mist]

steamCMD logs in independently of the main GUI client

[shy bane]

@deep turret ok

[lapis wolf]

Steam CMD logs in anonymously and doesn't use your account

[deep turret]

the cleanest way is to use steamcmd yes

[shy bane]

o

ok

[bold jetty]

Question: Does increasing MaxPlayers at the command line still work? I have the following and it takes the first two options, but not MaxPlayers.

-multihome=${IP_ADDRESS} -ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any -ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8

[quick mist]

in this case, yes, but SteamCMD can log into actual accounts. Even so it does not affect the login of any other clients.

[chrome pumice]

Yes

[deep turret]

that why +login anonymous

[deep turret]

you dont need steamcmd after the server is installed

[shy bane]

thanks for the info

[quick mist]

you kinda do to keep it updated. you don't need it running unless you're installing or updating the server at that time though

[chrome pumice]

Remove the multihome and ini:Engine stuff those are no longer needed.

[proper abyss]

what do i do?

[deep turret]

I mean not actively, you are setting the server with one command, and so can tell force login anonymous each time

[chrome pumice]

How are you connecting to it? Private IP or public IP.

[proper abyss]

publci ip

I didnt know what was the difference

i want my friend to join in

[chrome pumice]

Did you forward the ports?

[proper abyss]

so ya

[lapis wolf]

I have my server autostart with the batch file on boot, so it checks for updates and validates server files everytime with SteamCMD, so the server is always up to day

[proper abyss]

wym forward

the ports

and the server didnt start

[lapis wolf]

Your router needs to have portforwarding setup for UDP port 7777 and TCP 7777 to your server machine

[chrome pumice]

Have to forward port 7777 TCP and 7777 UDP to allow external connections.

[proper abyss]

I did

i did that

followed a yt vid

[deep turret]

they are very new to this stuff so it will probably be a bit more complicated to them

[lapis wolf]

Both UDP and TCP?

[proper abyss]

i did it

both

[chrome pumice]

It did start it's waiting for you to connect and do first time setup.

[chrome pumice]

If you did both then you would be able to connect now.

[lean jay]

Can I ask for any recommendations? There are 4 of us and we d like to play on a dedicated vanilla. if anyone can recommend any server that is like... pay, connect, play..

[proper abyss]

"appears to be offline"

[lapis wolf]

Then communication is not happening between devices, ensure that your Public IP hasn't changed and the server has the IP that the port forward is being directed to

[proper abyss]

ru talking to me

or

[chrome pumice]

Exactly you need to get the port forwarding done correctly so it shows up as online.

[proper abyss]

Yeah i did it on my firewall

thing

[lapis wolf]

Can you send screenshots of the forwards?

[shrewd glacier]

You could rent a VPS and set it up via steamcmd.

[chrome pumice]

In windows or the router?

[proper abyss]

Windows i think

"advanced firewall settings"

[chrome pumice]

Need both

[lapis wolf]

The router

[proper abyss]

I like went on it to alow for everything

allow

[lean jay]

I can, but we dont really want to invest time into learning how to

[deep turret]

it's a bit complicated because the full game is only from 2 days ago, so probably most providers are currently doing extra hours to make it work again

[lean jay]

I see

[proper abyss]

how do i enable for router

i did it on my firewall thing to allow everything

[chrome pumice]

Depends on the router. They are all very different.

[bold jetty]

That was it! Thanks!

[proper abyss]

Ok so where do i start

[shrewd glacier]

You could try asking someone to help you after you rent it out, but you're best off just taking the like 30 minutes needed to set it up to learn

[deep turret]

btw I hate fritz "virtual server" wording, this is not what a virtual server is and is simply misleading
they could have at least just call it "server ports" or "server connect" or "server forwarding" but no, they had to add fancy words that just mislead everyone

[proper abyss]

where do i start?

[lapis wolf]

You start by going to the IP of your router in a browser and logging in

[chrome pumice]

Log into your router and look for some about ports.

[proper abyss]

How

Oh wait

[lapis wolf]

This information is usually listed on the router itself if you haven't changed it

[deep turret]

you can do ipconfig in cmd to see the multiple things you need to connect to

[topaz echo]

192.168.1.1 typcially for 95% of routers

[proper abyss]

Ok i found the router

[deep turret]

else 192.168.0.1

[proper abyss]

adress

[proper abyss]

Ya

[deep turret]

sometimes 192.168.0.254

[lapis wolf]

Feel free to drop screenshots of the interface, it'll help us point it out to you

[proper abyss]

I have the router port info

so what do i do

[lapis wolf]

Are you logged into the router?

[proper abyss]

Where do i log in tho

[chrome pumice]

Add the ports to the IP of the machine the server is running on.

[lapis wolf]

you go to the IP address in a web browser

[proper abyss]

findmyip

right

[deep turret]

in your browser (chrome, firefox, edge, opera, etc..)

[lapis wolf]

no, that's public

[chrome pumice]

No

[proper abyss]

Oh thats what i went to'

[lapis wolf]

On the physical router, there should be a sticker with it's IP and login info

[proper abyss]

Mhm

So i go there and then

[deep turret]

it must look like 192.168.#.1 or .254

[wicked edge]

what port does the API go through?

[chrome pumice]

Some are also in the 10.0.0.0 network but not as common.

[quick mist]

One goes through TCP/7777, the other through UDP/7777

[chrome pumice]

7777 tcp

[deep turret]

and it is a bit errorneous (but yea it is like it is)

[proper abyss]

i went to firewall advanced thingy for that

Oh yeah i got it

Its working

[quick mist]

rad

[deep turret]

oh ofcourse

forgot sorry

[lapis wolf]

That's great to hear

[chrome pumice]

You can connect now?

[proper abyss]

Thanks yall

[chrome pumice]

Great I'm going to go walk into traffic now.

[proper abyss]

👽

[echo peak]

where do I specificy what local ip the server should use?

[quick mist]

It will bind to all interfaces on TCP/7777 and UDP/7777 by default. You can set the port with the -Port=n argument (where n is the port you want to use for both types)

[lapis wolf]

And what I came here for,
How do I change when the server auto reboots?

[deep turret]

in the server manager now

[quick mist]

in the server settings there is one setting labeled "interval". This is not an interval; it's just what time you want the restart to happen.

[halcyon oak]

How do I get the bearer token?

[echo peak]

well my server is not online and I cant rly figure out any other reason it wouldnt be

[quick mist]

to make a token, use server.GenerateAPIToken on the Dedicated Server console. The token will not expire.

[shrewd glacier]

When someone says local IP, they mean your IPv4 IP address that can be found using the ipconfig command in the command prompt. Do not use the one provided under the vEthernet adapter. You can see an example for my own IPv4 in the picture.

[halcyon oak]

Thank you!! Much appreciated!!

[quick mist]

the entries on ss showing it's listening on 0.0.0.0 mean it's listening on all interfaces.

[lapis wolf]

And where is that in the CLI version?

[quick mist]

it's set via the Server Manager in the game client

[lapis wolf]

Cool, thanks

[halcyon oak]

Can I easily ssh into the dedicated server console?

[echo peak]

and I forwarded the ports and added it to the firewall yet its not online

[quick mist]

the simplest way to get to the console is also via the Server Manager in the game client

[deep turret]

there is no ssh dedicated server console, because ssh is to log into your host machine

there is a console in the Server Manager

[halcyon oak]

Okay 👍 much appreciated I will maybe update the docs this weekend

[deep turret]

once you connected to the server from the game

[halcyon oak]

How do I access that?

[shrewd glacier]

If you haven't restarted the server since you forwarded the ports and opened your firewall, then do so.

[deep turret]

please read the wiki

[quick mist]

if you want examples on how to hit some of the endpoints, let me know (:

[deep turret]

we are not cahtGPT we are really human being trying to help

[echo peak]

the game server yes I have the vps itself I didnt Ill go ahead and try that

[halcyon oak]

Thank you! I got them from the docu

I will share later the python script I made for a small web app where my friends can see the stats of the vm, turn it off and on, and see then now also the player count etc when I am ready!!

[quick mist]

what up fellow python dev

some of what I have here might save you some time. https://github.com/dopeghoti/SF-Tools

[deep turret]

I sent a python script to update ovh dns to someone once there
never got thank you and never seen them ever again

this is sad tbh

[raw spoke]

is it just me or does the 'continue' button no longer continue your last save on a dedicated server?

[quick mist]

'Continue' starts a local single-player game with your most recent local save. it always has

[echo peak]

I rebooted the vps and still cant see the server

[raw spoke]

in update 7 it was fixed to continue with dedicated server

but now it's unfixed

[halcyon oak]

Amazing! Thank you. By the way, I know how to access server manager but I thought meant via a webpage where you can manage different things, and ofcourse I read the docu, thats how I spotted the mistake in it 😄

[atomic venture]

Okay so it randomly showed the server name and let me connect, but then timed out before it loaded, and will now no longer see the server again.

[quick mist]

yeah once you have gotten your Token you can use the REST API to do just about everything

I'm pretty sure that's just what the Server Manager is doing (:

[halcyon oak]

Yeah! Can’t wait to build the app lol and I can use for other games too!’

[mighty portal]

Does anyone know how to disable ssl validation for the angular httpclient?

[halcyon oak]

And I also have an auto shutdown after 15 min to save cloud costs

[quick mist]

Most HTTP libraries have a way to suppress warnings about invalid certs.

[mighty portal]

yea but i didnt find anything for angular

[deep turret]

whats the log saying ?

[quick mist]

I don't speak JS so I can't help there

[atomic venture]

It randomly came back and I got in the game for about 10 seconds

[deep turret]

what the server log is saying ?

[topaz scarab]

that's browser engine dependent, no
also inb4 you hit cors issues

[mighty portal]

okok ty

[shell tusk]

anyone else login problems with GTX servers? Seems they are down?

[atomic venture]

We blew away the internal firewall again and got back in okay now. Something is definetley not working right on Windows Firewall.

[candid crystal]

Anyone experiencing blueprints crashing the dedicated server? Seems to do that for me and my friends.

[thick tusk]

do we have a list of console commands anywhere for dedicated servers yet?

[deep turret]

did you set it with the wiki powershell lines ?

[frosty gale]

i set up a dedicated server on my end, and now i connected to it, from my own ip, and i sent it to my friend (the ip and the port) and he cant join cuz of timeout, does anybody know how to fix the problem?

[atomic venture]

no just manual creation

[deep turret]

then double check settings like edgetraversal

(it must be allowed)

[frosty gale]

have you found a fix to this error, cuz my friend is having the same one

[zinc moon]

you did port forwarding?

[frosty gale]

wdym by that, im not that well know with that term

[shell tusk]

My GTX server showing me this message. Its running but i cant connect cause its offline in Server Manager (in satisfactory). Is it a gtx problem or all of you got these probs now?

[deep turret]

if you are asking it likely means : no

[sick topaz]

Anyone knows how to fix that "LogNet: Warning: IpConnection_2147474003: No EncryptionToken specified, disconnecting." issue?

I even disabled the firewall on the linux server...

[zinc moon]

is the IP you gave your friend like 192.168.x.xx

[frosty gale]

how do i do that then?

[zinc moon]

192.etc ar einternal IPs, you would give your friend the external IP, which is your public facing IP

then most of the time you port forwar din your router the internal to external ips

[remote elm]

Howdy folks, thought I'd try here for help with godawful dedi server performance.
Performance goes from flawless to utterly unplayable and back at seemingly random times, with two of us playing.

The box itself is a self-hosted physical machine with plenty of resource, but the logs are forever spamming warnings that may or may not be related. At the times where performance nosedives, I'm seeing a lot of LogNetPlayerMovement: Warning: ServerMove: Timestamp Expired: 141.383133, CurrentTimeStamp: 142.784470: Character: Char_Player_C....

and also a lot of warnings about StaticMeshComponent, LightweightCollisionComponent and FGColoredInstanceProxy not supported errors absolutely flooding the logs

[ripe dome]

I downloaded the game and I can't launch it, an error appears

[zinc moon]

interl ip being the IP that is your satis server

[deep turret]

I mean it's external to internal but yea

[frosty gale]

how can i find it, cuz im kinda confused

[ruby bridge]

Any solutions for this? Server was just updated about 30 seconds ago.

[deep turret]

you ask your router or any service outside your network
@frosty gale

like api4.ipify.org

^ this is the cleanest way imo

[topaz scarab]

update it properly

how did you install it, how are you updating it

[ripe dome]

help

[frosty gale]

btw idk if the question was to help me, but it didnt work

[halcyon oak]

Would recommend using docker

[ruby bridge]

fresh install, worked on the 11th, steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 1690800

[deep turret]

what didn't work ?

[topaz scarab]

no forced directory?

[frosty gale]

the number it gave me, like the site

[topaz scarab]

and if not, why not, it's in the wiki to

[deep turret]

because you need forwarding

[ruby bridge]

Im kindof a hater of the docker intsall of satisfactory. For one it requires me to run docker on a linux machine and redo my entire server I already have setup. Its also then updated by a 3rd party.

[clear cliff]

Has the IP binding been fixed yet? It looks like it in the logs, but I don't wanna mess up my setup to test
(edit: Yes, it was fixed)

[topaz scarab]

it also doesn't technically shut down correctly

[ruby bridge]

do I need that in the update command?

[deep turret]

you need forwarding and this is for your friends not for yourself
it's better to use the 192.168.x.xx one for you

[echo peak]

what the hell does this mean

[stoic stream]

Ughhhh. Everytime the server restarts it doesn't come back up and I have to start it back up manually

[topaz scarab]

probably not, but i have no clue where it installs if you don't

like if it changes depending on cwd

and you never answered my other question

[coral rose]

You can just roll your own Dockerfile. You don’t need to use a community maintained image.

[deep turret]

?

you can also run without docker at all

[frosty gale]

i gave that number to my friend should i use 192.168.x.xx to join to me, and the number from api4.ipify.org to my friend

[misty smelt]

so i just setup a server, and its running right now. is there a way i can forward it to the internet using telebit so my freinds can play?

[ruby bridge]

ok so apearently you do need forced dir in the update command. It works now.

[cunning nexus]

This might be a niche use case and definitely only a temperary one, but I have run into a problem while running a dedicated server on a ROG ally. It simply wont utilize the CPU properly. Only about 10-20% on anyone core. Resulting in a tickrate of only 22 on a fresh world.

I'm not sure if this an Ally issue or something with the Satisfactory server.
If someone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

[coral rose]

Sure, but if one of the pain points about using it is that it’s maintained by a third party that’s easily rectified

[deep turret]

I'm a bit confused by your sentence but yes I guess ?

[ruby bridge]

So, do more work to run docker by maintaining my own dockerfiles.

Il stick to steamcmd which is supported by coffeestain.

[supple shore]

Can someone help me to get my friend to join my server?

[topaz scarab]

don't ask to ask

[hollow jewel]

no one is forcing you to use docker

it just makes life easier when you have to install multiple things on your server at once

[ruby bridge]

Who said I was installing multiple things at once 🤣

[shrewd glacier]

Then you shouldn't be using docker

[supple shore]

He can't join for some reason

[hollow jewel]

I didnt, that's why I'm not forcing you to use docker 😘
its your own server, do with it what you seem fit!

[frosty gale]

ok so im kinda stupid, how do i port forward exactly, cuz i used the 192.168.x.xx (with the x) and it was apearing offline

[deep turret]

wait so you never successfully connected ?
I thought you already had the local
address of your server which have the 192.168.x.xx
format (the x are numbers)

[ripe pewter]

So, where can I find active servers?
Is there a dedicated place to find them or would I have to ask around?

[frosty gale]

i did succesfully conect on my end, by using my IPv4 adress, but my friend can and when he used api4.ipify.org number it was saying "the server apears to be offline"(i transtlated that from polish to the best of my ability)

[hollow jewel]

There's #1201555265942724758 I guess

[deep turret]

wait you mean They used ipify themselves ?
ipify is for you to get Your address

So they can join

[frosty gale]

no no, i used it, i gave them the number they showed up, and they got the message that the server apears to be offline

[topaz scarab]

check your port forwarding then

[deep turret]

but you need forwarding then

that's where we were at

[frosty gale]

so how do i do that

[deep turret]

I'm not on my keyboard right now it's hard to write complicated instructions sorry

[meager scroll]

In 1.0 , is the only way to join a dedicated server via IP:port? What happened to steam friend/invite?

[hollow jewel]

google "how to portforward", it's different for every router/modem.
you need to portforward port 7777, TCP and UDP

[topaz scarab]

whens the last time you read the wiki

[frosty gale]

you mean the firewall rules, i did them

[topaz scarab]

direct connect using join, or are you adding the server to the server manager first

also -log and -unattended are unnecessary

[frosty gale]

my friend is adding the server to the server manager

[zinc moon]

no, port forwarding threough your router

[topaz scarab]

was responding to ollie, sorry

[meager scroll]

why would you add a server to the sever manager? that is where you host no?

if youre trying to join an existing server*

[topaz scarab]

thought people were getting errors if they didn't
i don't play the game, i just host it™️

for you autists, that was hyperbole

[fallen glacier]

Okay, this is a weird one. I just had to re-setup my server and am having issues.

env:        Linux (Ubuntu Server)
type:       service
ExecStart:  /home/steam/server/FactoryServer.sh -log -unattended

I CAN connect to the IP and port via the HTTP endpoint from on and off the network.
I CAN connec to the game with the internal IP.
However I CAN'T connect to the game server via the external IP.

Which is confusing given that the server is running fine, and it doesn't seem to be a firewall or port forwarding issue.

[meager scroll]

I'm hosting a linux server, have forwarded all ports TCP/UDP, friends can't search for the server, there is nowhere for them to see sessions friends are in, or steam friends whatsover. They try to join via direct connect (IP) and still get encryption key errors. They can't join friend sessions via steam friends list. CS has completely butchered what used to work.

[hollow jewel]

did you portforward both UDP and TCP, or just one of the two?

[topaz scarab]

have they tried adding the server in server manager

[tulip sparrow]

They have to add the IP in "server manager"

[meager scroll]

Why would they do that? Server manager is for creating servers

[fallen glacier]

Yep, UDP and TCP both open and forwarding to my server's internal IP.

[tulip sparrow]

False

[meager scroll]

janky

[topaz scarab]

super janky indeed

[hollow jewel]

Maybe have someone else try to connect via your external IP
there are some routers/modems that are a bit janky when you try to use your external ip from inside of the network

[meager scroll]

this is the most convoluted mess I have ever seen. makes 0 sense

[hollow jewel]

you should see some of my personal projects /s

[fallen glacier]

I'm sure that's not the case. I had a server setup successfully all of yesterday.

[meager scroll]

I mean it was working prior to 1.0

[tulip sparrow]

I personally find it very straight forward 🤷‍♂️

[topaz scarab]

1.0 changed a lot or so i've heard

[meager scroll]

I personally dont agree with giving out server IP address

why is there not a server list

[topaz scarab]

they get your external ip either way

[hollow jewel]

well, since you can connect via your internal IP it must be something with your portforwarding or a firewall
try (temporarily) disabling firewalls and double check your portforwarding

[meager scroll]

they dont get mine,.... tunneled

[hollow jewel]

that would just put your IP on a list

[topaz scarab]

you're asking about a server list tho

[fallen glacier]

I've tried disabling firewall, but I'm not sure what the alternative is for port-forwarding.

[thorny coyote]

Is there a way to rollback a players actions? aka anti-grief?

[meager scroll]

no, like every othe game, you see the session name or server name, not the IP. Of course it's not hard to figure out unless the sever host is tunneled.

[fallen glacier]

Aside form autosaves? no

[thorny coyote]

can I increase the autosaves to > 3

[hollow jewel]

all that accomplishes is putting your IP on a list of servers, enabling more people to find it, that does not hide your IP at all
only giving your IP to the people you want it to have is more secure

[supple shore]

Is there a list of all commands you can use in the dedicated Server console?

[fallen glacier]

wiki

[meager scroll]

Again... there are ways to hide your personal hardware's IP

[supple shore]

Could you send a link, I can't seem to find anything

[hollow jewel]

then do the tunneling yourself (with a cheap VPS), and give people your tunneled address?

no one is going to take on all that bandwidth for everyone for free lol

[fallen glacier]

satisfactory [dot] wiki [dot] gg

[topaz scarab]

have fun forwarding udp

[meager scroll]

youre missing the point Korstmos, if the server was on a list, the client only sees the VPS ip, Which is nice if youre using cloudflare =p

[spring bane]

Self hosting a dedicated server, I updated this file C\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Game.ini to add

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=8

But it doesn't up my max players, am I supposed to update it somewhere else or is this the wrong one?

[meager scroll]

Either way, it was better pre-1.0, not sure why they changed it.

[cyan stag]

did you save ur edit's and restart the server?

[topaz scarab]

wrong one

[spring bane]

of course

[supple shore]

I mean this console, there aren't any commands there

[hollow jewel]

a list does not change which IP is visible

[chrome pumice]

That is one of the few whitelisted links here.

[fallen glacier]

yes. it's on the wiki. the only commands are quit stop exit server.SaveGame saveName

[chrome pumice]

You just type at the bottom.

[cyan stag]

what ip do you use for it? the iPv4?

[supple shore]

session is also a coomand I found through testint

[fallen glacier]

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

[topaz scarab]

add it to the wiki then

it's community sourced info, not by the devs

wish they would tho, they ought to

[sacred lynx]

is there a way to set a join password?

[chrome pumice]

No

[topaz scarab]

yes

[hollow jewel]

Satisfactory should support both IPv4 and IPv6, so pick your poison, whatever your provider(s) supports!

[chrome pumice]

Wait what?

[cyan stag]

player protection password

[topaz scarab]

that, yeah i skimmed over that option at first too, so not just you

[chrome pumice]

Oh neat

[topaz scarab]

tbf it's kinda shittily named

[sacred lynx]

ah, so that's set through the game client then

[chrome pumice]

Server manager yes

[sacred lynx]

alrighty, thank you all - appreciate the assist 🙂

[cyan stag]

ok! it worked 2 days ago but now satisfactory doesnt see it

[hollow jewel]

did you set a static internal IP?

[cyan stag]

prob not

[hollow jewel]

Then DHCP probably gave your computer/server a new internal IP, go check it and update your portforwarding (if you want people from external networks to join) and your entries in the server manager 🙂

[misty smelt]

does anyone know how i can avoide port forwarding to host a server for my friends?

[topaz scarab]

vpn

[cyan stag]

im using playit(dot)gg

[hollow jewel]

try something like tailscale

[misty smelt]

ill look into those

[meager scroll]

you can DMZ, but not recommended

[digital garden]

Me and my brother are... Can't even delete a piece of the BP I put down, can't touch the BP machine xD

[lapis wolf]

You really should setup port forwarding, it's not as scary as it sounds and avoids VPN lag or tanking your security with DMZ

[burnt saffron]

how can i add persistent data in truenas for satisfactory server using custom app

?

[toxic narwhal]

Hi! I seem to be running into some issues since updating to 1.0. What I can see is that my server starts, but when I connect to it in game it says "Server name pending" and "Server appears to be offline". The server has been up and running on the existing ports before, do I need to remove the saves before 1.0 for it to start?

[burnt saffron]

every time i update or restart the container data(saves) is gone

[lapis wolf]

The ports are now TCP and UPD 7777 now

[meager scroll]

thats.. scary

[ancient bison]

Setup persistant volumes

[toxic narwhal]

I start the game using FactoryServer.exe -ServerQueryPort=40200 -BeaconPort=40201 -Port=40202 -log -unattended and the port range is opened for any protoc on my end

[burnt saffron]

in custom app you dont have that persistence. You have this:

[ancient bison]

Add a volume

[lapis wolf]

A quick check can be done by opening a browser tab to the server (eg, (h)ttps://192.168.1.10:7777) to check if the server is up and listening.

[ancient bison]

With the path to the host and container data

[toxic narwhal]

And if I change the ports using the parameters above I assume I can just change those ports?

[cyan stag]

where do you find the port?

[ancient bison]

Their connection may not be stable enough

[hollow jewel]

Satisfactory is port 7777 by default, UDP and TCP

[lapis wolf]

It should, just go to the https adddress with the ports you specified and it should answer with a cert error and then a generic Epic Games error page

[cyan stag]

and the ip from ipconfig /all right?

[hollow jewel]

yarp

[ancient bison]

I mean, if it works for other people then its not a server-side problem. Would only be not a stable enough connection to the server ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cyan stag]

hmmmmm, ok it seems to be all correct

[meager phoenix]

Has anyone of you experienced server crash when trying to delete a blueprint or a splitter?

[hollow jewel]

and you still cant connect with your local ip? (the one from ipconfig)
double check that the server is actually running, and check the logs

[vale spoke]

Hey everyone! I've setup a dedicated server for me and my friends on a secondary pc. It functions as I'd expect when I myself, or my girlfriend tries to join. But as soon as a friend who's not on my local network tries to join it says for him: "server name pending" and "server is currently offline" anyone know how to fix this?

[granite oak]

i have this same issue

[cyan stag]

local ip works, one thu the tunnel doesnt so it might be a prob with that

[ancient bison]

Need to make sure its accessible over the internet, usually via port-forwarding

[hollow jewel]

check your portforwarding, and give them the correct external IP (grab it from ipchicken dot com)

[ancient bison]

And give them the public IP, not intra one

[vale spoke]

I have done port forwarding in my router

[ancient bison]

yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ <- use this and put 7777

[hollow jewel]

Ive never dicked around with tunneling myself, good luck with that lol

[vale spoke]

which one is the public one, cus I know for sure I opened the ports

I think I might have just used the local IP then

[ancient bison]

it'll tell you your public when you visit this

[cyan stag]

Thanks for your help!

[vale spoke]

Is that not just an IP grab link lol?

[toxic narwhal]

I was entering the queryport... not the game port 🤦‍♀️

[ancient bison]

every link grabs your IP

that's how you connect to a webserver

[vale spoke]

right, but can't you just tell me where I can find it myself lol

instead of me giving it to you?

[hollow jewel]

you have to open a website that tells you it, such as ipchicken dot com, or googling "what is my IP"

[royal dove]

Login into your router 😛

[ancient bison]

I don't own that site, its literally the first option that comes up when I google "port checker"

[royal dove]

portquiry (spelled incorrectly i guess) is a nice little program who can also check ports.

[vale spoke]

have done

[vale spoke]

alr nevermind then

didn't know the site

[burnt saffron]

In Volumes:

I have mount path and dataset, i am guessing in mount path i use say /mnt/storage/applications and in dataset, a dataset i created for satisfactory, Like satisfactory-server ?

[vale spoke]

thought you wanted to grab the ip for yourself

[ancient bison]

why would I want to grab your IP?

like, really? lol

[vale spoke]

trust issues my friend 😭

[hollow jewel]

to harvest their organs, duh

[royal dove]

The only isue i still have, is that the server forgets to connect to the 7777 port and disconnects everyone. 😦

[eager burrow]

Am I missing something in setting my server up? Port is forwarded and verified with a port checker. Made sure my public IP was static and my ISP doesn't block any ports. Server is running in the back room on a separate computer.

[vale spoke]

Okay so

website says it's not open

[hollow jewel]

if youre on the same network, use the internal IP of the server, not your external IP

[vale spoke]

but my provider and router says it is

[eager burrow]

Still gives me the same

[royal dove]

FW on that system blocking? Check firewall

[toxic narwhal]

Do you have a public IP? ISP's nowadays usually don't provide that 😐

[eager burrow]

would running off a different hub on my mesh network affect it?

[vale spoke]

How does one check

[royal dove]

Everyone has a public IP 🙂 Maybe not static.

[toxic narwhal]

Check your routers WAN IP, and then google "What is my ip"

[hollow jewel]

possibly, if it has a different subnet
that's up to your network setup though

[toxic narwhal]

Wrong 🙂 IPV4's are running low, so at least in Sweden you have to pay extra in order to get a public IP nowadays

[hollow jewel]

Carrier grade nat time

[vale spoke]

So done that, thing is tho that when I test the port using the public IP it says it's closed

[pallid relic]

Is it me, or is the dedicated server pretty trash compared to early access in terms of performance, got a pretty beefy machine at the moment and after an hour or so the tick rate drops to 18 😦

[eager burrow]

I don't believe it does.. When i go into my LAN settings I only have one set of parameters for the whole network

[royal dove]

No problems here has a Ryzen 7 5800X in it and 64 GB of ram. Smooth as a baby`s bottom.

[hollow jewel]

well, if you cant connect with the local IP: double check that the server is actually running, and check the logs for errors

[pallid relic]

haha i can imagine, that's a full dedicated machine you have for hosting haha

Im renting a server @ AWS

[royal dove]

Living on the edge i see?

[hollow jewel]

what's that costing you? doesnt sound very efficient for a game that likes RAM

[royal dove]

AWS so Intel Xeon?

[pallid relic]

Got a setup that automatically shuts down when no one is playing

So dont know the exact cost, but that doesnt really matter, got some free AWS credit to spend

[pallid relic]

Currently running AMD machine c6a instance

4vcpu, 8gb of ram

RAM usage seems 4,5gb at the moment

[royal dove]

Sounds like an AMD Epyc then.

[hollow jewel]

sheesh, that's $0.153 an hour
running that 24/7 would be 114$ a month 😬

[pallid relic]

Yeah, but it shuts down when no one is playing

So it's pretty managable

https://github.com/feydan/satisfactory-server-aws

if anyone is interested about the setup

Slightly modified it

[pallid relic]

• i got some free AWS credit from my company, so it's fine :p

[safe haven]

Memory usage does seem to be surprisingly high on the server..

[granite oak]

anyone with Spectrum having issues getting port forwarding to work?

[hollow jewel]

Wondering if I could set that up on a Hetzner server 🤔 optimize the shit out of a <20$ a month bill

[topaz scarab]

how are you getting it to start when someone connects

[hollow jewel]

Ey, free shit goes brrrr 😎

[pallid relic]

Hetzner is wayy cheaper

[royal dove]

The EA versions did not run well on Xeon and Epyc, so that is why i went for this thingy.

[pallid relic]

You need to call an URL for the server to start, takes about a minute for the server to boot. After 30 minutes of inactivity the server shuts down.

[hollow jewel]

a similar 4 core 8gig node is only 7-14eur a month running 24/7, with 20TB of bandwidth 😂
I'm always surprised by how expensive AWS is

[pallid relic]

yeahh AWS is really expensive

But you pay for the platform i guess

They have ALOT of services which integrate etc etc

And probably are a bit more reliable than Hetzner

But still, reallllllyy expensive ye

[hollow jewel]

I'd be scared af to commit to something so convenient like that

[pallid relic]

AMD EPYC 7R1 to be precies

[lavish magnet]

some people share a public ip with other customers of the ISP, it's called CGNAT, that's probably what they're talking about.

[safe haven]

A unique public IP address, is probably what should be said.

[pallid relic]

Oh, small update on the server, perhaps its due to us building certain things / discovering things for the first time, but we're back at 29 ticks on average🥳

[remote elm]

bumping this, if anyone's seen anything similar I'd be keen for the help

[eager burrow]

says server is running.. i can connect to a factorio server on the same pc.. so i dunno

[deep turret]

it always worked that way, you are confusing multiplayer and dedicated servers

[burnt saffron]

thats why i run it on my truenas server, just trying to figure out how to make it work to persist the data if container restarts

[hollow jewel]

networking or firewalls go brrrr

[eager burrow]

i can connect to another server on the same pc... the game has access for the firewall... i dunno...

[lavish magnet]

scale or core?

[topaz scarab]

container? on core?

[hollow jewel]

wait I thought you meant connecting to your server on the host machine

you sure the server is running correctly? logs look clean as a whistle?

HTTP request through curl to the server returns something at least?

[lavish magnet]

I thought it had a docker instance on core right? if it's scale, and you're deploying to k8s on it, it should just be a PVC/PV

[tawny heart]

Hey, i was wondering if anyone has managed to get any usefullness out of the new http api. Besides gamestate/healthcheck monitoring, sessions and claiming server + save management. the http api seems rather limited. besides the execute command endpoint. however i cant seem to find a list of valid commands so i was wondering if anyone else found a more powerfull way to utilise the api? Eg checking power production/ power breaker state. getting stats etc

[lavish magnet]

IDK. i've broken my truenas scale instance open and just use k8s directly.

[eager burrow]

What am I looking for with curl. I see it in the log but starting to get outside my depth of knowledge

[topaz scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/terminator-gif-19458555
hey, just what you see, pal

[hollow jewel]

A sign of life, which you seem to be getting

now try to get the same sign of life from your pc

[burnt saffron]

scale

[fringe yarrow]

started a dedicated server. have these error, but game runs, so i think its safe to ignore these.

How do i increase player count, it says 0/4 . Dont see any settings to increase it.

ignore those errors, read the wiki

[burnt saffron]

theres no pvc

[burnt saffron]

just this

[deep turret]

man that was a busy day

my tldr of the day is :
we are not called google
and read the wiki first

[eager burrow]

so should i be able to use curl in cmd with my network ip address and port and get a response?

[topaz scarab]

lol stupid bot
yup

[eager burrow]

my eyes aren't that fast lol

[hollow jewel]

on your pc, use curl to request the IP of your server on port 7777

[topaz scarab]

use -k to bypass the cert warning

[eager burrow]

so like this?

[topaz scarab]

https://

[deep turret]

like this #dedicated-servers message

before the |

[halcyon oak]

I am getting a ssl error from my machine to the vm? do i need to generate certificate or can i also disable it? couldnt find it in the docu right away.

[short blade]

has anyone gotten CreateGame working with the HTTPS API?

[eager burrow]

added my ip and did that and got nothing back.. just sitting on a blinking cursor

[deep turret]

my cursor does not blink we are not the same

[topaz scarab]

not very helpful

[hollow jewel]

the IP of your server, right? if so, there's something fucky wucky with your local network, and you need to figure out that routing

[deep turret]

I mean what does it show beside blinking

[eager burrow]

yeah.. did my server ip

[topaz scarab]

you're not using that whole mess of cur-yeah you are lol

[deep turret]

remove the -H " authorization bearer" it also is a placeholder

and you probably didnt create token

[lavish magnet]

PVC/PV stands for "persistent volume claim/ Persistent Volume" So you should be able to setup a volume that's mounted at the location that the container saves the saves.
Or you can use host path and mount it to that location.

[halcyon oak]

https://github.com/dopeghoti/SF-Tools/blob/main/README.md 🙂

[burnt saffron]

i know whats pvc/pv . in host path i use say /mnt/storage/applications/satisfactory-server , not sure what to use in mount path since the dataset its name satisfactory-server

[fleet yoke]

How reliable have the GPortal servers been with 1.0? Looking to get one later.

[deep turret]

omg what the hell is this, no wonder it does not work well with ipv6

[topaz scarab]

nice choice of ports

[cyan stag]

i got it to work kinda, its now flickering offline/online

[hollow jewel]

Progress is progress!

[deep turret]

wdym ?

[topaz scarab]

default's 7777, no

[deep turret]

yes

but I still dont get your comment

what does it have of nice

[topaz scarab]

nonstandard

[deep turret]

*:58523```does not make sense anyway

[eager burrow]

Yeah... doing the same thing.. doesn't return anything... I don't think its a network issue since I can run another game server on it and connect with no issues... I think its probably a bit more than I can work out without being a huge pain. I ran one a few updates ago and never had an issue so I'm not sure what the deal is.. Thanks for the patience

[cobalt loom]

do we need to start again server when its restart ? didnt come back up after 5 min

[eager burrow]

I just resized my server window and all these errors popped up.

[chrome pumice]

Restart should not take that long.

[deep turret]

this is what I got, sounds like a network issue

[eager burrow]

so am i supposed to use my public ip in the curl line or my internal one because if i switch to my public ip i get an invalid json token

[deep turret]

invalid json token ?

as response ?

[eager burrow]

i put in my public ip in the curl command and got that

[deep turret]

this is a response

did you check you are using the right local ip to connect to it at least

because it means you connected to it through the public one

or you ended up matching an other server port that also provide json api and responded which is very not likely

either way it just confirm there is something sketchy about your local connection setup

[eager burrow]

so that would be why i can connect to my factorio server because i connect through my public ip but satisfactory i have to put in my local and there's an issue

[west briar]

how do you change the dedicated servers restart time? (i don't own the server so explain it so i can pass it on) server currently restarts at 8pm (aka peak time lol)

[deep turret]

in the server manager

[dusky wedge]

The wording is misleading, but the option is labeled as the restart interval in the server settings

[deep turret]

I mean, really, please just check that one ip your server is using in your network

so many times I insisted on people to check it for them to finally check it and notice it changed when I had tell them to check it for hours

[eager burrow]

no i checked.. it was correct when i typed it in

[deep turret]

what machine are you running the curl command on ?

[eager burrow]

the computer i'm trying to connect from

[deep turret]

you curl from windows ?

[eager burrow]

yeah.. i googled it an it said it was added to windows so i went in cmd and typed it in

[tiny junco]

updated working dedicated server (put it on extra windows machine) now cannot connect to it. updated game client cannot see the server. First tried old port 15777 no connection, tried with 7777 no connection. Anyone any tips on what changed after an update?

[chrome pumice]

You now need port 7777 TCP and 7777 UDP open.

[eager burrow]

and in a weird twist to this whole thing i now get this when i use my local

[misty smelt]

you see, my dad wont let me open a port

[kindred flicker]

whenever my friend disconnects from my dedicated server the server shuts down, doesnt matter if im also on the server it will just shut down the server, but when i disconnect he still can play.

does anyone have the same problem?

[lapis wolf]

Well that's a bummer, VPN for you then

[chrome pumice]

People do yes. It's rare and currently has no solution.

[misty smelt]

ill just use a tunneling software

[tiny junco]

I did open the port yet no change

[lapis wolf]

That's what I said

[kindred flicker]

💀

[deep turret]

the format thing it sprobably because windows cmd syntax difer from linux one about the quoting

but the important part is it responded

[lapis wolf]

Both UDP and TCP?

[misty smelt]

what protocol?

[topaz scarab]

what exactly are you trying to do here

[fallow gust]

I wonder if installing the dedicated server on my second machine is a good idea. Is it viable at this point or should I wait?

[lapis wolf]

Yes, it absolutely is

[topaz scarab]

because as long as it responds, you're good
unless you're trying to hit the api for actual server settings

[fallow gust]

okay, thx for the fast answer. I will then learn tomorrow how to use the SteamCMD. 🙂

[topaz scarab]

just read the wiki™️

[vagrant yarrow]

Are you saying that the hours set in the restart interval are actually the time that the restart happens (so always every 24 hours, just at different times)

[fallow gust]

I have both pages open. 🙂

[lapis wolf]

The wiki is quite good

[topaz scarab]

the steamcmd wiki page can be a little hard for newbies

[chrome pumice]

It's a clock. 24 hours = midnight.

[fallow gust]

But it's too late in the evening. After playing the whole day I'm tired as iff I was at work for the same time. 🙈

[vagrant yarrow]

Excellent, thank you! I'd been trying to figure out how to get it not to reset at midnight for me, because we are often playing at that time.

[eager burrow]

I was jus trying to get it to respond.. its still showing as offline in server manager in game so now i just need to figure that out

[dusky wedge]

That’s correct

[tiny junco]

double checking to make sure UDP is open as well

[vocal loom]

i did an app_update 294420 in steamcmd and says the dedicated server is using the current version, did they have a new app id or something?

[lapis wolf]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamcmd.exe" +force_install_dir "C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer" +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

[vocal loom]

okay so there IS a new app ID then, can it just update directly on top of the current installation?

[lapis wolf]

^straight from the Wiki

[lapis wolf]

That's always been the ID

[deep turret]

nope it never was 294420

https://steamdb.info/app/294420/

[topaz scarab]

7 days to die lol

[vocal loom]

lol, dammit no wonder haha

i was looking at the wrong file thanks im a dummy

[lapis wolf]

We've all been the dummy lol. I forgot to open TCP 7777 and it took me like 20 minutes to figure that out lol

[tiny junco]

checked both are open at 7777. Still no connection...

[proud pendant]

I actually got the servers down to like half of a room fan dell watt optimised did wonders for the noise (when tho there 135 watt cpus)

[lapis wolf]

Is the forward going to the server internal IP?

[vocal loom]

check to make sure the firewall is enabling the factorygame.exe through

[tiny junco]

don't rememeber how I set it up when I initially setup server a while ago...

[vocal loom]

windows firewall also needs to be told to configured to let an application through

[lapis wolf]

If you don't have a static IP or DHCP reservation for the server, the IP might have changed

[vocal loom]

you'll want to get into your router and check all your settings and connected devices, your access control list as well if you manage that

so by the way, just to clarify, i accidentally left the 7 days to die steamcmd configuration file on the desktop that ive got my satisfactory server installed on, forgot to delete it after i repurposed it for satisfactory

im a dum

[tiny junco]

checked that too. IP is the same

[covert shard]

Yup! Access your router and ensure port 7777 (TCP and UDP) are forwarded to the LAN IP of the satisfactory server. I belive you said you're using Linux? Did you configure the UFW? That's the default firewall-type software installed on most Linux distributions!

@tiny junco

[tiny junco]

running windows ... but you might have a point. I did open ports on windows machine but did not open in my router settings

[covert shard]

Yup! By default your router is probably blocking that inbound traffic for that port so just make sure you make those port forwarding rules. If you provide the make and model of your router I could most likely find out how to make the port forwarding rule for you, if you still need assistance at that point!

Ah

[lapis wolf]

Check the wiki (linked in channel description) and the channel pins, all of this info is in there as well

[vast moss]

I'm using Pterodactyl to host a dedicated server. I can connect to it, but it is saying that it "appears to be offline". I hear that some ports are needing udp and tcp? is this true?

[fringe yarrow]

i tried increasing player count. Didnt seem like it worked. is this the only place?

cat /home/satisfactory/server/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
[/Script/Engine.GameNetworkManager]
TotalNetBandwidth=500000
MaxDynamicBandwidth=120000
MinDynamicBandwidth=100000
MaxPlayers=16

[slow bloom]

You also might want to check if you're behind CG-NAT. First go to your router and check its public facing IP address, then google "what is my IP" and make sure they match up. If they do, you're good, if they don't you're behind CG-NAT and port forwarding may not work

[royal sparrow]

Should only need 7777 configured, Pterodactyl will handle it for you when you create the server.

[topaz scarab]

doin' it wrong
see wiki

[royal sparrow]

In the event you're running a software firewall such as ufw/firewalld you may need to create a rule opening it for TCP/UDP

[vast moss]

Okay. So, you're saying just 7777 needs udp? or it needs tcp?

[topaz scarab]

both

[vast moss]

ok

[royal sparrow]

^^

[slow bloom]

port 7777 needs TCP AND UDP

[covert shard]

It needs both UDP and TCP per the Wiki my friend

[vast moss]

do the others need only udp?

[slow bloom]

there are no others

[royal sparrow]

Only 7777 brother man

[covert shard]

As per the 1.0 release there are no other ports that need to be opened. The others were only used in the earlier versions I believe!

[vast moss]

thanks. I didn't find the wiki anywhere. but i will try that next time. :D

[chrome pumice]

Satisfactory.wiki.gg

[topaz scarab]

it's literally in the channel topic...

i guess you could be on mobile

[lapis wolf]

You can tap the channel name and it opens the description on mobile

[woeful dock]

any1 got a fix already for the autosave into server kick thingy?

[vale spoke]

Hey everyone! I have this issue where my server run on a local pc works perfectly fine for people trying to connect from the same local network, but not for any of my friends that try to join remotely. I have checked if the port (7777) is opened properly and it is.

[royal sparrow]

Sounds like port forwarding not complete on your router...

[jade matrix]

is it normal that the server crash wenn i save a mk 2 bluebrint with 30 constructors

and my client

[covert shard]

Hello friend! Did you ensure that both TCP and UDP are open for port 7777?

[jade matrix]

and the client of my friend

[vale spoke]

Thing is I've used a website to check the port on my public IP and it said it's opened

[vale spoke]

Yes I did

[covert shard]

Nice! Is the server running on a Linux or Windows OS?

[vale spoke]

Windows

[covert shard]

Hmm... So when navigating to server manager in the menu of Satisfactory, you're able to join the server with the LAN IP of the server but not your WAN IP? Is that correct?

[deep turret]

how did you set your windows firewall settings ?

[vale spoke]

Yes I think so, not too familiar with the difference between wan and lan, but I can join using the IP I find using IPConfig in command prompt on a pc on the same network. But when I, or a friend tried to connect from the public IP (using what is my IP address .com) it doesn't work and says the server is offline without a name

[vale spoke]

Also with an opening for port 7777 for both incoming and outgoing. Both done for TCP and UDP.

[deep turret]

manually ?

[noble ember]

Can I use dedi server of the same Steam account in a different PC?

[vale spoke]

Yes

[deep turret]

you can remove outgoing rules they are useless

[covert shard]

Hmmmm... That's interesting. If you've done the NAT and Acess rules correctly in your router and you've also the rules appropriately with Windows Firewall on the computer hosting the server you should be be able to connect via your WAN IP (that you're finding with that website).

Perhaps you have a CG-NAT like Palden mentioned?

[deep turret]

you then probably missed the "edge traversal" setting

it must be on

[vale spoke]

Where can you find that?

I'm still fairly new to all this

First server I tried to setup

[covert shard]

Well I'm going to let SharklienX help you as I believe this is above my head, good luck!

[vale spoke]

Thanks for your input though 🙏

[deep turret]

technically no
practically yes
either:

• you use no account at all
• you run the server directly without your steam account / steam gui

[deep turret]

I mean you are probably right too
but I want them to check that too
these settings are included in the wiki powershell windows rules btw

[vale spoke]

Main thing is that I've done the rules, I've done the port forwarding in the router, and I checked it on a port checking website and it said the port was opened and reachable

I even saw a notification that something tried to reach the server when I checked it using that website

[covert shard]

I mean.... Logically speaking... If you're able to join the server using the LAN IP and not the WAN IP, that rules out firewall rules for the local host and indicates an issue with port forwarding. In my mind, I could be wrong.

[short blade]

Also, a heads up for anyone here creating working with the https dedicated server API. For the CreateNewGame, there's a bug for the SkipOnboarding option, and it should be named bSkipOnboarding in the meantime until the name has been fixed

[royal sparrow]

You could temporarily stop Windows Firewall and test as well. That would let you narrow the scope of the issue if you can connect.

[deep turret]

except for the edge-traversal setting
which literally means going from outside local network
the windows firewall can detect that

[vale spoke]

But when I check the port on the website I get this (after this message came the public IP I used)

[covert shard]

Ah right, totally forgot about that

[vast moss]

Yeah... So, I read the documentation of the dedicated server set up for linux and did everything it said to do, yet it still says "This server appears to be offline". I also found no documentation on how to connect to it, so maybe I'm connecting wrong? I assume I need to use port 7777?

I am getting the following in the logs:

[vale spoke]

Where in the firewall settings can you change that?

[royal sparrow]

In the wiki, there is a powershell script that will create the policy for you.

[tiny junco]

lucky you... opened port on my server, opened in my router still 7777 is closed ...

[deep turret]

in the inbound rules you created, edit the setting, you shoudl see that setting

the edge traversal must be allowed

and I dont know if it's on by default or not
I only used powershell script and linux so never setup a rule manually

always had bad luck with that

[noble ember]

Thanks, I'll take a look tomorrow.

[deep turret]

it's in the wiki

[vale spoke]

Do you think I should try the script first?

[chrome pumice]

You need both tcp and udp 7777 if you see that but still can't connect you are missing one.

[deep turret]

imo it would be much simpler to stick to the script
but you need to delete the rules you already have to let room for the script ones

[vale spoke]

Alr I'll do that

[faint wagon]

This happened to me on an existing server, the only fix i found was to backup the saves, remove satisfactory, redownload satisfactory, and restore the saves. worked after that

[deep turret]

#dedicated-servers message

[tiny junco]

I am at loss as well. Probably will need to do that

[vast moss]

I cannot do that on pterodactyl I believe. It keeps saying this:

[deep turret]

you didn't shut down the already running server

[chrome pumice]

That's not a pterodactyl issue something else on your host is using the port already.

[vast moss]

I have both udp and tcp allowed with 7777. And yes, I did.

This is because I am putting both the udp and tcp port of 7777 on the server

[chrome pumice]

No

[royal sparrow]

This error literally means something is still listening on 7777.

[chrome pumice]

That is the default setting for Satisfactory servers. Mine is using that just fine.

[vale spoke]

The website is like fully zoomed in for me lol, where exactly do I find the powershell script and if you don't mind me asking, what even is powershell?

[deep turret]

Windows attempt at looking better than Linux zsh and retaining people from moving to Linux by giving them weird scripting habits and a false sense of code security and best practices

[covert shard]

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

[covert shard]

Copy and paste this into PowerShell

[topaz scarab]

🔎

[covert shard]

That's the script

Might have to run PowerShell as an administrator

[deep turret]

wrong one

[covert shard]

Really?

[deep turret]

Bad wiki

it's the update 7 one

[vast moss]

Ok. I figured it out. Supposedly something I tested before that didn't work now works. Firewalls are crazy like that I guess. :D

[deep turret]

we are at 1.0 now

[topaz scarab]

someone needs to update the fandom one to point to the real one

[deep turret]

!search dedicated_servers

[vale spoke]

bro why did it just do it for that page 😭

thx

[deep turret]

fiscit don't like me

[vale spoke]

that's better, so the updated one is here somewhere?

[deep turret]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/dedicated_servers

[chrome pumice]

Yes that is mostly updated.

[vale spoke]

is it that

[topaz scarab]

only mostly? pls halp

[vale spoke]

Thing is tho, I still don't know what powershell is

[vale spoke]

ah

[chrome pumice]

It is the most up to date wiki and it being updated as things are learned.

[vale spoke]

and run as admin right

[covert shard]

yup

[topaz scarab]

yup, i would know

[deep turret]

yes

[vale spoke]

So this should do it?

[chrome pumice]

You the one updating it? Lol

[topaz scarab]

the only one, apparently

[covert shard]

Looks like you copied and pasted it twice

[topaz scarab]

discord search is ass

[covert shard]

I think

Oh wait im sorry

no that looks good

hit enter

[deep turret]

yes

[vale spoke]

Did

[covert shard]

Restart poc and try

Restart PC and try to join again

[vale spoke]

Alr I'ma try

[deep turret]

should not need to restart

but it can't harm

[royal sparrow]

It's windows, restarting is kind of just implied

[vale spoke]

it's restarted alr anyway

didn't take long

[covert shard]

When I was changing the LAN IP of the server within DHCP router and then did ipconfig /renew on the server to grab the new IP I had issues connecting to the server via Server Manager

So I just say fck it and restart

lol

[deep turret]

I don't know if you saw that also #dedicated-servers message

[vale spoke]

Ayyyy lesgooooo

@covert shard @deep turret thank you both a ton for helping me out

legends

fr

[night spear]

how do i setup satisfactry on pterodactyl panel, i have an egg from pre-1.0 but it wouldnt work now

[topaz scarab]

wonder why

have they updated it for 1.0?

[deep turret]

I'm a bit confused
sounds a bit early for celebrating imo

but nice and thank you I guess

[vale spoke]

I myself used to only be able to join the server using my local IP

Now I CAN use the public one to join so that means it works right?

[deep turret]

it's a bit more complicated

we can't really trust the router behavior on that
so the real test is always to connect from actual external access

sometimes it can even fail from inside yet work from outside

[vale spoke]

that's fair

[deep turret]

if things were better it would be reliable but currently router still uses dirty tricks for these kind of things

[vale spoke]

I do think somewhat it worked tho, cus even from within I couldn't join from the public ip and I would assume the main issue was the firewall not allowing the connection

[deep turret]

it probably means it's now working

[vale spoke]

So now that I can join off of that IP it seems like it'd work for others too

[deep turret]

at least you are closer to it

[modern walrus]

if i make a dedicated server can my freinds join even if im not on

[deep turret]

especially if you have the better quality router

[deep turret]

as long as the server runs

[vale spoke]

The only other way I got it to work before is with a VPN but I didn't want to always run a vpn while playing due to latency

[deep turret]

it's its main reason to exist

[modern walrus]

is it easy to make one

[deep turret]

depend your skillset/background

at setting up servers

[vale spoke]

For me it was the first time doing it, I did the main part by myself but having people to help you to the end is good

[deep turret]

if you already setup servers like for csgo and other game
it is quite doable

you need (skillset):
file management basics
cmd / powershell / admin prompt basics
steam / epic / download basics
basic networking knowledge (port forwarding, firewall rules, local / outside network, testing)

[royal sparrow]

Can you read the wiki? If so, you're good to go.

[deep turret]

the wiki still kind of requires the above basic knowledge
but I said it : as long as you have basic knowledge it's fine

[royal sparrow]

Yeah I'm mostly just shitposting, but I agree.

[vale spoke]

For me the wiki made sense for the most part but I personally didn't know what some stuff even meant. That's where the hard part was for me. I'm usually pretty quick with picking things up but when I've never heard of it it's hard to guess it out of the context.

before yesterday I've never heard of port forwarding for instance xD

[deep turret]

and Internet can be vague and/or misleading yep

[royal sparrow]

When in doubt, google is your friend.

[deep turret]

that's mainly why it's hard

[vale spoke]

Yeah exactly, that's what I did but some gaps were left open with the information i pieced together

[last notch]

Fandom doesn't allow that and might ban all users who try it.

[deep turret]

then you are doing very fine compared to some other people here

[vale spoke]

[topaz scarab]

why retardsaders are still using something clearly marked for update x instead of 1.0 idk

[vale spoke]

They splatter it everywhere STUFF FROM PRE 1.0 DOESN't WORK

[frosty gale]

does anyone know what this is?
Update state (0x0) unknown, progress: 0.00 (0 / 0)
Error! App '1690800' state is 0x202 after update job.

[deep turret]

Google is your friend

btw it means not enough space

[frosty gale]

the fixes were outdated

for me at least

[vale spoke]

But i'm glad my issue seems to be fixed. So thanks again @deep turret, appreciate the help. I'ma head to bed now. Rest of you good morning/afternoon/evening/night everybody :D

[frosty gale]

I don't have enough space to download the server again, but all I want is to verify the files

[deep turret]

So you connected inside your game through it ?

(I guess yes if you are that happy about it)

[vale spoke]

There's nobody outside of my network who could test it but I myself could get in with the public IP yes.

[deep turret]

inside game then ok

[vale spoke]

I connected, and joined the save I uploaded

[deep turret]

playing

[topaz scarab]

lmao it's already

[deep turret]

👍

[vale spoke]

You keep doing god's work helping ppl with this

fr a legend 🫡

[deep turret]

I'm just baffled it just worked after you just followed just the instructions

[frosty gale]

Do I need to re-link the directory every time I launch SteamCMD?

[deep turret]

today was struggles

[vale spoke]

I'd rather have that than some unexpected errors

[deep turret]

thank you

[topaz scarab]

wait this is your doing @last notch ? nice

[vale spoke]

But I rly need to sleep so gn

[topaz scarab]

which one of you nerds deleted my message
dang it discord, stop breaking

[deep turret]

good night

[radiant panther]

On linux,
I was able to connect to my remote dedi, first time setup all good.
I can join it just fine now no issues after reboots (I am not connecting by LAN)
But anyone else trying to add the server after just says "Server Name Pending" and offline ?

[deep turret]

did you setup the port you wanted and communicated it to your friends ?

[radiant panther]

yes, 7777

[deep turret]

are you hosting in a region with outside network restrictions ?

[ionic grove]

Same issue here!! Make sure you comment on the QA issue so we can get traction on it: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e15d35772a987f4a8ab43a

[topaz scarab]

may want to reopen that tagged with the newer version number too

[ionic grove]

Sadly not my issue, only commented on it

[covert shard]

Haha thank you for helping Tech Sharklien

[jolly bluff]

Sorry, that was my friend reposting my issue.

There are no restrictions its a dedicated machine from OVH in the USA.
We are all located in the USA

I can connect to it by IP no problem, but for some reason everyone else cannot. The ports are open or I wouldn't be able to join (all ports are open right now I dont even have a firewall setup at the moment)

[plush spindle]

Anyone got experience with Gportal servers?
Just bought one and my server manager doesn’t find it no matter what info I put in! Getting annnoyed with it

[radiant fjord]

My truck disappeared but it still shows on the map

[plush spindle]

Anyone?

Don’t want to have just wasted the money 😔

[unreal crystal]

make sure you have it enabled in both OVH's firewall/game firewall; and UFW if using it.... there's too many fucking firewalls when dealing with OVH

or just pick one of the 3 options and kill all the others

[deep turret]

the main help outlet could be gPortal themselves then

[jolly bluff]

I dont have anything other than iptables and everything is allowed.
But still, why would I be able to connect myself but not my friends?

[safe haven]

I just had this. Disconnecting and reconnecting restored the markers.

[unreal crystal]

i won't pretend to understand. I just know that if its a new OVH setup; you may wanna kill their firewalls entirely.

[jolly bluff]

I'm on a dynamic IP myself so its not allowing mine specifically either

[deep turret]

they mean in ovh itself
Provider level Firewall

[deep turret]

it could as you logged in your ovh account from it probably

[unreal crystal]

hm; my only guess was your IP was safe/known; game firewall is doing active defense stuff. but yea; make sure you have TCP/UDP 7777 enabled and kill the OVH firewalls

then see if anyone has any problems

[jolly bluff]

I'm hosting other games like minecraft with no problem I doubt its OVH firewall 😩 but ill take a look

[frosty gale]

When loading the server, I am getting a large number of Navmesh bound errors. Is this an issue or does it not matter?

[unreal crystal]

😅 no promises; but i have had it be a problem for one of my game servers; leading to my innate recommendations to axe it

[deep turret]

the api doc itself notice to warm to not trigger game ddos Firewalls
this sounds like experience to me

did you wait the server is up before letting your friends connect ?

[jolly bluff]

I'm joining the server myself no problems

[minor granite]

Hello on multiplayer server we are 2 to play different place at first, but we can place only one hub ?

[unreal crystal]

yea but OVH has a smart intrusion detection system; which some servers tend to trip... that was my experience with the anti ddos + extra firewalls

[minor granite]

how to respawn at the other place ?

[chrome pumice]

Can only have 1 hub.

[jolly bluff]

I can join with a VPN too

[chrome pumice]

Respawn in the settings window.

[frosty gale]

Do I use Default gateway or IPv4?

[minor granite]

ok thanks

[unreal crystal]

huh. are they joining with the IPV4 or 6 address?

[frosty gale]

this happens everytime

[jolly bluff]

ipv4. Same one I connect with

[unreal crystal]

whats the error they get

[jolly bluff]

It just says its offline

Console doesnt even receive ping requests

[jolly bluff]

^

[unreal crystal]

and i'm assuming you've deleted and readded the server; the servers running the latest hotfix from yesterday; and.... i'm running outta ideas from my experiences lmao

[jolly bluff]

yep I just remade it before I came here

and they readded

[unreal crystal]

they're logged into steam right?

[deep turret]

you didn't really answer :
did you give connection info before the server was up or after the server was up ?

[unreal crystal]

not authenticated was some weird errors i got when steam was down and i had to cycle menus to get it to log in

[jolly bluff]

After server was up

[radiant panther]

i have it on epic

[jolly bluff]

I join myself first before I gave the IP

[plush spindle]

I have the same issue. Using GPortal for server hosting!

[plush spindle]

Me too

[jolly bluff]

One friend is using Steam and the other on Epic, both cant join

😩 some wack ass server issue

[unreal crystal]

dm me the IP

[covert shard]

👀

[plush spindle]

Who?

[chrome pumice]

Are you using the local IP to join or the External IP?

[plush spindle]

Says on GPortal my server is running. But no matter what combination of ip and port I use it says the same thing.

[topaz scarab]

external, obv

[jolly bluff]

😩 read what im saying

its the ipv4 external

i cant use local its a dedicated OVH machine

I can join it, friends cant

[frosty gale]

do steam achievements work on dedicated servers?

[deep turret]

do your friends use VPN ?

[covert shard]

From my experience, yes

[plush spindle]

?

[deep turret]

you do not use dns right ?

[sullen wyvern]

i keep on getting this error when joining a friends server and im not sure why
anyone here know what it means?

[open summit]

Staffy Staff people, where isit best to ask about. suggest, discuss the server API and Commands..... some how i feel im like the only person that has an interest in these features, there is not a single post on the QA site. but i am working on a thing and am really interested in the new API feature, i want to see it do everything 😛

[deep turret]

it's means your machine took too much time loading the game
you can simply retry

[sullen wyvern]

me?

[topaz scarab]

there are like 3 projects already using the api,
feature requests go in qa yeah

[deep turret]

yes

[sullen wyvern]

i tried it 3 times

[gilded moat]

Because there’s not much info out there.

[open summit]

make that 4

[sullen wyvern]

it did the same thing each time
anything that might hasten the loading?

[topaz scarab]

better hardware?

[gilded moat]

Who got a link to the api tho

[deep turret]

they could change the timeout settings in .ini files then

[sullen wyvern]

Ooo nice ill ask

[topaz scarab]

if you have a copy of the game, it's in the community something folder

[hushed delta]

Hey, sorry to bother I dont know which other channel I can go, but I can't play with my friend online in session server. I check crossplatform because I'm on epic and she's on Steam. I give her the session ID, but it says "SessionLookUpFaillur"
Do you know what is the problem and how to solve it pls ? :p

[open summit]

im aware of that, i found most of the info i need(ships with the game) im more interested in discussing expanding the API with suggestions so the Dev's know what we...the end users would like to see

[gilded moat]

Ahh didn’t check that thank you

[covert shard]

Who got a link to the api tho

[topaz scarab]

yeah they don't exactly tell you it's there

[fickle stone]

what folder is that in? im the server owner in question
its a linux based rack system, it has a weird filesystem....

[gilded moat]

Ahh like you want a separate channel

[open summit]

it says on the wiki its there, or something official told me where to find it

[frosty gale]

Can I dm someone a server, to see if other people can join?

[gilded moat]

Put in a ticket for it, staff responds well to tickets and suggestions

[covert shard]

Dm me if you'd like, I can try to assist

[gilded moat]

But I think staff is more so waiting for the modders to season the api with more info and guides

[open summit]

more along the lines of, why is noboby making a thread on the QA website so we can discuss this on an appropriate platform

[sturdy gust]

Now that I have time, I intend to work on this next 🙂

[topaz scarab]

figured you were at work or something, no rush

[sturdy gust]

Just a bit of a pain due to how we handle user de-escelation in the initialization script 😄

[open summit]

i already have a discord bot up, its not public yet, did someone beat me to release?

[frosty gale]

done

[gilded moat]

🙋‍♂️

[chrome pumice]

In the in game setting both of you need to have your epic and steam accounts linked. I believe you can see this on the main menu.

[silver orbit]

anyone having thier server continually do this?

[fickle stone]

yes, same here

[open summit]

oooo competition, i like it 🤣

[fickle stone]

is it not normal?

[deep turret]

it's in Windows Client games files

[silver orbit]

no it is save file corruption

[hushed delta]

I don't see option to link my steam account :/

[open summit]

mine is starting as a simple bot but its going to be fully integrated into our website, we have too many servers

[silver orbit]

everytime it happens my game stops working and i have to go back to a previous save

[candid lantern]

Anyone having issues with painting and colors in their dedicated servers?

[gilded moat]

Like satisfactory servers or discord? We aim to implement into our website. I’m going to dive deeper into the api possibilities but definitely want to see if a life world map can be possible

[open summit]

we have painted a few things but no issues as of yet

[white violet]

is there a limit to how many people can have access to a dedicated server? (i know only 4 people can be on one at a time but do only 4 people have access to it?)

[deep turret]

absolutely not for dedicated servers

[candid lantern]

Ty for the response. My servers painting is broken.

[silver orbit]

this can be changed in the settings files.
