dedicated-servers

[chrome pumice]

I know

[candid lantern]

You can make the server for more people, for exact instructions it’s actually on the wiki and dedicated server setup

[open summit]

id love that, we have a discord bot running in Node that can poll the servers, it will be able to give status updates in channels by tomorrow evening, API is very limiting as there is not much available to use, i really want to see more functionality

[candid lantern]

Or search the subreddit for “more than 4”

[deep turret]

finally caught up

[plush spindle]

Can anyone actually help me?!

[white violet]

thanks!

[candid lantern]

Blade, I literally came here to ask of any discord bots that connect to my discord. How can I find your bot?

[hushed delta]

I'm on Epic so my epic account is link 🥲
You ask me to link my steam account :/

[silver orbit]

Do you have the TCP and UDP open for 7777 ?

[plush spindle]

GPortal server.

Says it’s active GPortal side.
My game can’t find it with all the details.
What’s going on.

I’m on epic.

[candid lantern]

Start by asking a question…

[hushed delta]

But there is no option to do it from epic

[plush spindle]

Have no idea what that means.

[open summit]

ask @gilded moat he has a public one (i think) mine is still closed untill its fully functional

[plush spindle]

I did. Several times

[safe haven]

GPortal might need to update their containers for the new version of the server.
Contact their support about the issue, not here.

[silver orbit]

Do you know how to add firewall rule? Is your server self hosted or are you paying someone to host it ?

[candid lantern]

Ty

[plush spindle]

Paying GPortal.

[deep turret]

dedicated servers do not use account connection
they use exclusively ip connections

[white violet]

what in the world

[plush spindle]

Says it’s up to date with 1.0

[silver orbit]

DM me the Server and port it says to use

[safe haven]

Though they are advertising the 1.0 release quite heavily, so you'd hope they have it right.. but still, you're paying them for support. And you can't do anything yourself to change the settings.
So talk to them.

[gilded moat]

Nope ours is private atm, and might stay private until we develop our bot for our needs a bit more as this bot is designed for my community and players

[tender thicket]

whats the diff between 1 and 2

[candid lantern]

The top one

[white violet]

i dont know but the third almost made me have a stroke

7k people

[tender thicket]

brother ur on the internet

[candid lantern]

Let me know. I would even pay for a good bot.

[tender thicket]

what did u expect

[safe haven]

It's in the same vein as Unix Porn or such. It's probably just people showing off their builds.

[white violet]

I expected it to not be the 3rd most popular sub lol

[hushed delta]

I'm not on a dedicated server, I want to do a session game (crossplatform)

[deep turret]

(do not look my #design-and-architecture things if you don't like porn then)

[safe haven]

I believe the cross-platform play requires everyone be linked to an Epic account?

[eager burrow]

I've got my dedicated server narrowed down to getting this error if anyone has any insight... it still just shows as offline, waiting for name, not authenticated

[deep turret]

you can't add steam but they can add epic
also this channel is for dedicated servers

[deep turret]

did you fresh install ?

[eager burrow]

not today but i did yesterday

[hushed delta]

I know but I said that I don't know where else I can talk about it

[deep turret]

not updating from old /

[eager burrow]

nope.. deleted everything and followed the steamcmd instructions

[hushed delta]

She already link it with her epic account

[open summit]

il keep this channel posted on my bot as it should be fully online within the next week and id like to see it public when its done for the community at large

but development is largely going to be focused around the needs of my community @candid lantern

[deep turret]

then check you are friend on epic I guess
they must open the game in the game setting

[raw schooner]

Can anyone comment on the stability of dedicated servers?

[chrome pumice]

pretty good for me

[deep turret]

with session type iirc

[raw schooner]

Thanks, so no issues so far?

[covert shard]

No issues for me and my two friends

[open summit]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e4d2f4772a987f4a8afb55

anyone interested in an expansion of API functionality

[blazing juniper]

hook up wireshark to check comm method of server->client actions, set up man in the middle on yourself on that layer, then replicate those on steam shared account using its credentials to authorize, bang and now you have no need for api at all

[chrome pumice]

1 crash from some blueprint fuckery.

[tender thicket]

both good ideas, me like

[raw schooner]

Thx

[raw schooner]

Thanks too

Are you running it on docker?

[tender thicket]

I do question how mapping would work tho, arent maps per-client?

[deep turret]

#dedicated-servers message

[chrome pumice]

no

[raw schooner]

Well damn

[open summit]

why, there be a document that explains how the protocol works, i have had postman upload and download save games already, its works fine, im just finishing a bot of so my whole community can use it, not just me

[tender thicket]

I suppose for ur map idea, couldnt u download the game every few minutes from the server and generate a map from that?

[blazing juniper]

if you want stuff that is not included in the api, such as receiving map data chunks, this is the fastest way of doing that and many more actions you may want that are not in the api

[tender thicket]

Idk if that has the discovery element though, like of what has and hasnt been discovered

[blazing juniper]

requires just tiny amount of understanding network layers and rev eng

[open summit]

i feel you, thats great and all, but why circumvent the devs, not let them know of our needs and do it some roundabout way when we can ask the devs to impliment it... i dont expect it by tomorrow, but they will surly get round to it

[blazing juniper]

up to you, just told you that there is such a possibility

[raw schooner]

Can I easily swap my save file from the server to a single player world an vice versa?

[tender thicket]

Yup

Right in the server manager

[chrome pumice]

With the server manager yes.

[deep turret]

it's already kind of implemented

[open summit]

aslong as its not a ridicules ask..... at the end of it all, just install a mod that stands as a data collector and exports the data....

official modding may not yet be implemented (no clue) but i can modify the software as much as i like aslong as i dont distribute code i dont have rights too

[tender thicket]

Id recommend that u play the start of the game in singleplayer or peer 2 peer to get up to tier2 then move it to ur dedi

[raw schooner]

I'm planning on putting it in a docker container so is it safe to just pull the save from the files?

[tender thicket]

thats what I id

[tender thicket]

U dont even need to do that, u can do it in the in-game server manager

[raw schooner]

I dont have a gui

[tender thicket]

upload and download

[raw schooner]

OH

[tender thicket]

no sftp or anything needed

its built in

[raw schooner]

I didn't know the game had a built in server manager

[tender thicket]

I believe its new

1.0 new

[raw schooner]

So does the game just let you download the save of any server you can join

[fickle stone]

i cannot find that anywhere
which file would it be? this is all thats there

[deep turret]

no it's where you connect to server games anyway

[tender thicket]

Id presume that ud have to be admin on the server

[tender thicket]

Yeah but isnt the actual server manager itself new?

[topaz scarab]

what does it look like on the player end anyway

[deep turret]

that's what I'm talking about

[tender thicket]

Like the menus to change server settings are 1.0 right?

[deep turret]

no

[wicked knot]

it's "improved", but we always had one

[tender thicket]

Oh ok

[deep turret]

the settings are 1.0 though

[tender thicket]

I havent hosted a dedi before, I just saw how ppls docker images changed from .8 to 1.0

And that ppl stripped a lot of stuff from their docker composes for 1.0

yeah

[deep turret]

mainly port settings

and settings that had to be workaround now included

[silver orbit]

Wasn't the 1.0 Dedicated server suppose to launch witht he Unreal Server console on Windows?

[chrome pumice]

Do -newconsole on your startup command.

[deep turret]

there is an argument for it

[tender thicket]

Dont u also need -log?

I thought u needed both for it to work

[silver orbit]

thank you! is that documented somewhere ?

[chrome pumice]

nope

[silver orbit]

Sounds about right!

[tender thicket]

yup

[deep turret]

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

[chrome pumice]

Did it get added to there now?

[topaz scarab]

no, you could, or wait ten minutes

[silver orbit]

I do not see it I just checked again

[proven forge]

@autumn vessel Try asking what you were having an issue with here maybe, these guys might be able to help.

[deep turret]

sorry thought I had seen it there

[slender basalt]

ERROR: Your CPU model is configured as "QEMU Virtual CPU version 2.5+", which will cause Satisfactory to crash. I don't see anything in the WIki saying what it should be. I'm going to try "host" in proxmox. Any other thoughts?

[silver orbit]

I had already been there the last few days after launch

[chrome pumice]

Somebody talked about this the other day and just said anything else but that.

[deep turret]

it will likely work with host

[tender thicket]

Yup needs to be host

Otherwise it just doesnt work

[deep turret]

not exactly true

but it will work like this

[tender thicket]

its a reduced instruction set no?

[slender basalt]

Confirmed, host worked. I search for QEMU but nothing came up so I posted the question for others as well.

[tender thicket]

Unity needs stuff that qemu doesnt have

[deep turret]

it can be setup without being host mode
but default will not work

[tender thicket]

so ur saying u can use another cpu mode thatll work

meh

host works for me

[deep turret]

yes

[frosty gale]

Server starts appearing offline when I exit to menu from playing on the server

[deep turret]

host is most reliable

[frosty gale]

not really sure what to do here

[chrome pumice]

Does it work after a restart?

[tender thicket]

known issue if ur host and client is the same machine

or something like that

[frosty gale]

So it's just a minor inconvenience right now?

[tender thicket]

The level is subjective but yeah just gotta suck it up unfortunately afaik

Itll prob be fixed with the next big patch

but thats not even being worked on yet, css is taking a long weekend

[covert shard]

Mhm. I'm able to host the server on my personal computer and play on it -- are you sure Pete?

[tender thicket]

Yeah thats not the problem

The problem is that when the person who hosts the server leaves the server

not stopping it but just dcing from it

that crashes the dedicated server client

or rather freezes it up

so it needs a restart

so u prob wont experience much but if u have friends playing on ur hw theyll get locked out

[silver orbit]

likely because of loopback or something

[tender thicket]

prob

[covert shard]

Interesting... Well in that regard you have your solution Dextruax, even if it isn't a good solution.

[raw schooner]

Anyone got a docker image they can recommend

[frosty gale]

well, seems like a good time to learn and run linux on a VM!

[tender thicket]

Yeah wolveix' one is good

[short blade]

So, I beleive I've gotten the full HTTPS API implemented for now, if anyone wants to use C# to integrate with satisfactory:
https://github.com/micah686/SatisfactoryAPI

[silver orbit]

or Docker 😉

[tender thicket]

docker might just be easier

esp bc the work is done for u already

by comm members

[frosty gale]

Ok, I will take a look around, Thanks!

[tender thicket]

Yeah np u can come back here if u need help

therell be someone around to help u

[topaz scarab]

can you slap a license on that

[short blade]

oh, sure

[dark locust]

hi, I'm getting the same issue of not being able to join a dedi server with the whole "failed to connect to server api" but it shows me server name, server ping, and it's not using the default 7777 port it's using its own port as it's from a hosting service. other players can join but I specifically can't, is there something I'm missing (I'm win11 not linux too)

I thought update fixed it...

[short blade]

Added MIT License

[tender thicket]

Other ppl can join?

[dark locust]

yep

[tender thicket]

hmm

interesting

[dark locust]

I was thinking it might be a country block? but I used a vpn and it didn't fix it so maybe not

[tender thicket]

are u sure ur not fatfingering the ip+port?

[dark locust]

yes since I see the server name and ping

[tender thicket]

Ok, what happens if u go to the url+port in ur browser

[dark locust]

lemme try

[tender thicket]

ok so theres a problem in ur network somewhere

can u access that site from another device on ur network?

ur phone or another laptop

smth like that

[dark locust]

checking now

on my internet it says can't be reached either but turning it off and using my cellular data kinda just makes the browser not load anything

doesn't say it can't be reached tho

[tender thicket]

yeah i was more asking to test on ur local network

[dark locust]

oh actually it does

[tender thicket]

what does it look like on ur phone?

Is it the same error?

[dark locust]

same thing as the screenshot

yea

[tender thicket]

Or a different one

[dark locust]

connection was lost/reset

[tender thicket]

ok then its a problem with your router and routing

[dark locust]

damn

[tender thicket]

ur gonna have to dig around in ur router and see what happens

[dark locust]

I'm still thinking it's a country thing since my cellular data also doesn't allow it

maybe I'll try a hotspot one sec

[tender thicket]

unfortunately thats kinda outside our purview here

Sure

What country r u in + the server if u dont mind me asking

[dark locust]

same error

egypt

[raw schooner]

Maybe your using the port for something else?

[dark locust]

uhhhh very unlikely

[raw schooner]

Do you play Ark

[dark locust]

nope

[tender thicket]

Wouldnt explain why nothing on the network can access it

not just the pc

[dark locust]

should I send you the ip in dms?

[tender thicket]

u can sure

ill try to poke it and see if i get the http response

wheres the server located?

also egypt?

also

are ur friends in egypt?

[dark locust]

nope

americans

that's why I went to that conclusion

server is probably in the usa too but I'm not too sure on that

might be in europe

[tender thicket]

Ok I also get a connection reset in the US

i suppose I should ask this

is the server on rn?

satisfactory

[dark locust]

yes

[tender thicket]

ok

hm

yeah it might be a geolocation thing im not too sure otherwise

or its a problem with ur network

[fringe yarrow]

i have a server running and tested mine, and it get this response

[tender thicket]

Yup that means its running

Thats the tcp api

easy way to test if its up or not

[fringe yarrow]

when you check on browser, do you use the server port? or you use 443?

[dark locust]

shame, regular multiplayer works for me which is the weird part

[dark locust]

server port, which is 31400

oh wait

that's not for me is it

[tender thicket]

the ports the same for everyone

its the port of the server

not anything specific to ur setup

[frosty gale]

I feel like that's the wrong way of saying that

[topaz scarab]

wiki'd

[tender thicket]

Maybe yeah

[topaz scarab]

lmao just saw your username

[frosty gale]

And who the heck would ever need to use c# and the api together

[fringe yarrow]

i have heard egypt does have some firewall, but then you said you used vpn. do you know what country was it?

the vpn location

[topaz scarab]

maybe they have their own c# app and don't want to rewrite all the calls used

[dark locust]

not a proper vpn, I used gearup booster it worked for some other games for me like helldivers so I tried it here too

[topaz scarab]

i wouldn't reinvent the wheel unless i was doing it to learn

[dark locust]

uhhh this is the only thing I could see on location

[tender thicket]

Try a full vpn if u can manage to get one

[dark locust]

yeah I will

[tender thicket]

its nice to have anyway

and some vpns u can buy like 7d of access

p cheap

look into airvpn

thats what I use and it serves me p well

[frosty gale]

Mullvad

[short blade]

I mean, you can use the API to set and push data to/from the server. So If you are making a C# desktop app to monitor things it's easier than re-inventing everything yourself

[tender thicket]

I was gonna go that route but I want port forwarding on my vpn for 7 seas activities

when i eventually get to setting it up

[frosty gale]

Why does that require port forwarding

[tender thicket]

to seed back out

otherwise ur a bad peer

and get less access

[frosty gale]

Can you not seed without an open port

[tender thicket]

nope

not conventionally at least

[frosty gale]

Ok so I've only ever been stealing for my entire life

[tender thicket]

there might be some tunneling stuff that works but idk

[tender thicket]

thats fair i have a mate who does the same

i assume u have no complaints

[frosty gale]

Honestly fuck torrents most of the time

[tender thicket]

lol why

[fringe yarrow]

i use realdebrid mostly for torrents. i wanted to try some vpn. but then ending up trying feralhosting. its like they give you resources on their server, which you can use, relatively same price, but you can seed in GB/s as its on server.

[timber warren]

How is everyone

[brittle wedge]

Has anyone explored the API for the server yet? Can we access a Programmable splitter (instance/specified one...) and direct commands to it?

[tender thicket]

interesting, I havent set it up yet but am looking forward to it

[frosty gale]

Everyone

[tender thicket]

Nah the API isnt implemented like that, its more for server settings

At least not right now it isnt

who knows what the future holds

U can look at the docs in pinned

[brittle wedge]

so do we have docs on the API?

ok ty, will do

[timber warren]

hopefully someone can assist on my home dedi issue. It is supposidly up but i cannot see it in server browser all ports good and it sees my trying to connect but nothing

[brittle wedge]

hm looking. not pinned here...

[tender thicket]

Yup the pinned is just a repost of the api in ur game files

2nd pin

[brittle wedge]

ah we have the docs local? ty

[frosty gale]

The api is everything in the server manager and nothing else

[tender thicket]

go to the github link to get properly rendered md

https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server/wiki/Official-API-Docs

[timber warren]

serveroffline not authenticated thats all i see

[tender thicket]

Github renders it for u here

which is nice

[brittle wedge]

darn, so log out, explore the server before connection kind of stuff?

[frosty gale]

Say wha

[tender thicket]

U can download and upload saves n stuff as well

which could be interesting

[frosty gale]

It's all the options in the server manger

Like all the physical buttons map to an api call

• the on boarding stuff like claiming the server

[tender thicket]

A cool function that someone could make is a SCIM-like discord bot that pulls ur map ever x minutes and makes a render of the current map

Like an updating discord embed

[frosty gale]

That would be expensive

[tender thicket]

Not if u self host it

[frosty gale]

Or wait you mean like the map map

[tender thicket]

Yes ur savegame

[frosty gale]

Like cartography type shit

Or no

[tender thicket]

yup

like pressing M in game

[frosty gale]

Ok

[tender thicket]

but u have pins for ur machines n stuff

[frosty gale]

That would be cute

[tender thicket]

like what scim does but as a readonly view

itd be cool i think

id do it but im lazy

and ive never made a discord bot so

[frosty gale]

Imagine like the easiest thing ever and it's just that but a little harder

[tender thicket]

lol good to know

[brittle wedge]

okay thanks for the responses, in short it looks like the API is meant for use cases like a server manager checking server state, or a hame hosting company confirming that a new server gets started, etc. Good stuff, just not what I was hoping to find, oh well.

[dark locust]

welp, just installed it and it keeps timing out

[tender thicket]

yup more or less

[tender thicket]

what does

[dark locust]

airvpn

[tender thicket]

maybe use a wireguard client instead of their app?

[dark locust]

uh sure

[tender thicket]

itll work with any client

just supply the generated file

or maybe egypts got that shit on lock

[strange finch]

are there any recommendations for best hosts? i want to build something pretty and big so i want to go high on nonlagging 🙂

[tender thicket]

hard to tell

[tender thicket]

build? Like dedicated hardware?

Or just a game host thats high spec

[strange finch]

nah like hosted

[dark locust]

it's weird, it's not really strict but it's like 50/50 on what vpns work in it

[tender thicket]

So u dont wanna have to install the game on the server, u just want it done for u?

[dark locust]

like there's nothing in the internet I haven't been able to open because of my country except some games

actually crazy

[tender thicket]

Or u dont mind doing the install on a bare machine

[tender thicket]

interesting I thought egypt was worse than that

[strange finch]

ooh that would be even better then i dont have to learn as much :)P

[tender thicket]

the more u know

[visual pulsar]

Anyone else having crashes while on dedicated servers?

[fringe yarrow]

does it really need to be high spec? . you can use google cloud or aws for reliable server. but thats seems like an overkill. i think a hetzner server for 5$/month should do it.

[brittle wedge]

my 10700k cpu is getting no complaints. beaucoup ram, 2gb internet. wondering how many people I could really host with it...

server is in US, players in EU and AUS doing well.

[tender thicket]

single core perf is gonna be the bottleneck there

[fringe yarrow]

start small and then move server around as your needs grow. no point in having a big server with no load

[quick mist]

sure there is. Usage will always expand to exceed capacity (:

[strange finch]

but is there a company that isnt crap that will be nice to a beginner thats never done this and just let me pay money?

[brittle wedge]

not sure I know 8-10 players, but 3 of us internationally are pretty calm. we're about to railroad things up.

like was said, you can spot the core the game is running on 😉

[frosty gale]

I've never had my server lag and I'm running Westmere cpus

[fringe yarrow]

you mean like satisfactory managed hosting? or you are oaky with going into terminal and downloadin steamcmd?

[strange finch]

i could prob if i had to but would prefer it all managed

[dark locust]

wireguard says the vpn is activated but just disables my internet :( no hope for me

[tender thicket]

check the settings theres like a killswitch n all that

prob something there doing that

[fringe yarrow]

thats when you need split tunelling. wireguard has "Allowed IPs", so just that server traffic goes through wg interface. rest goes through your regular interface.

[dark locust]

ah turned off the kill switch

didn't fix it

[dark locust]

uhhh

so what ip do I put in there

[fringe yarrow]

whatever ip addresses you are trying to reach through wireguard. to prevent all your traffic going through wireguard.

[dark locust]

ohh I see

[tender thicket]

the server ip

[short blade]

I created a page on the wiki as well, copying over the intro and the HTTPS part of it.
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/HTTPS_API

[dark locust]

AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/1, 128.0.0.0/1, ::/1, 8000::/1 this formatting is weird af I don't get it just wondering if you might know it

[tender thicket]

nice

[tender thicket]

do the IP that u told me

so ip/32

but im not sure how u assign the port

[silver orbit]

it is called a CIDR IP

[fringe yarrow]

@dark locust DM me the ip, so that i can also check.

[dark locust]

do I need to? it's not like I'll encounter something else with same ip

just did it and it works time to test...

[tender thicket]

Ik some people had apprehensions about doing that but if ur happy enough then fire away

[topaz scarab]

a /32? 👀

[tender thicket]

what abt it

[dark locust]

now it says server is offline when it's not, so it's just the vpn in general just not working

[tender thicket]

yeah it could be, what destination server are u trying to connect to?

Something in maybe germany or smth?

that should work

[dark locust]

yea germany

[tender thicket]

Maybe try a different exit server?

Im not sure really anymore

[topaz scarab]

they can talk page or request for deletion it out lol

[dark locust]

I usually do netherlands germany or france

[tender thicket]

kinda grasping at straws

[dark locust]

I tried netherlands using their own client, yeah exactly

[tender thicket]

thats fair

[silver orbit]

Some VPN's block certain ports

[dark locust]

very unlikely this is that case

[tender thicket]

good point that could be the case

[silver orbit]

Or are blocked by other services because they are a VPN

[dark locust]

think I need to cope with the geoblocking

the port is just 31400, is that like memorable in any way lol

[night spear]

Figured out the server hosting on docket

[silver orbit]

32400 is PLex default so that might be to close

[night spear]

Docker

[tender thicket]

nice

[night spear]

Down need to figure out how to set it up in pterodactyl panel

[tender thicket]

using wolveix' image?

[night spear]

Yup

Best one

[tender thicket]

Thats a different process then

u use a pterodactyl egg

[night spear]

Is that the one with 1 million plus pulls?

[tender thicket]

u dont directly use a docker img

[night spear]

I know

[tender thicket]

itll be pelican-eggs

[night spear]

Ima figure out how to port it

[night spear]

Can’t

[tender thicket]

pelican eggs is the user and i believe the repos called steamcmd

[night spear]

That’s for pelican

[tender thicket]

no its for both

if u look it has both ptero and pelican

its just called pelican

the old ptero one isnt updated anymore

[night spear]

And the ptero one is t updated so I can’t use it as it has the 2 ports thing

[tender thicket]

It is

hold on

lemme ge tit

[mortal birch]

6 player on Satisfsctory-Server and 3 other Game-Server(Minecraft+Plugins, Empyrion, Palworld) 👌

[tender thicket]

https://github.com/pelican-eggs/games-steamcmd/tree/main/satisfactory

Use the egg-pterodactyl-satisfactory.json from there

Updated 3 days ago

U can use the satisfactory branch to get an even more up to date one

that hasnt been merged yet

im using that and it works just fine

I wanna switch to pelican at some pt

when they introduce plugins I will 100% jump ship

[night spear]

I thx

[tender thicket]

npnp

[night spear]

Yeah maybe I’ll try pelican for a bit

Spin up a test panel

[tender thicket]

Yeah im not too rushed until the plugins come out

ill go brazy when they do

[edgy dragon]

Is there a wiki that can run me through the steam cmd setup of a server. I have a second pc I want to run as a server if possible and don't want to ask you all a bunch of nonsense because my search ability is trash.

[tender thicket]

Theres a video in the pinned

[quick mist]

the steamcmd portion of the directions on the wiki are valid

the firewall portions are not

you will need to open and/or forward TCP/777 and UDP/7777

no other ports are needed

[edgy dragon]

You are all legends.

[topaz scarab]

oh, for windows?

[quick mist]

unless the wiki has been updated for TCP 7777 and UDP 7777 and eschewing the old ports..

[karmic plaza]

Sorry if it's been answered already, but is there a workaround for the issue causing dedicated server games to start at tier 2?

[brittle wedge]

title Satisfactory Dedicated Server application update
echo Updating Satisfactory
c:\steamcmd\steamcmd +force_install_dir G:\Satisfactory_server_1.0 +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit
Echo Update complete```

Change the G:.... to where you want it to get installed.

[quick mist]

There is not, that is the currend design of how servers work, @karmic plaza

[tender thicket]

Its intended, if u wanna start from 0 then host peer 2 peer until u get to tier 2

[brittle wedge]

that's my update batch file. copy at will.

[tender thicket]

then just upload ur save to the dedi

[topaz scarab]

nobody reads the wiki confirmed

[tender thicket]

really tier 2 shouldnt take more than maybe a few hrs

absolutely achievable in 1 session

[quick mist]

I've been busy chatting in #dedicated-servers , working, and getting the odd two hours of sleep, what more do you want from me? 🙃

[tender thicket]

I, on the other hand, never alluded to reading the wiki

[karmic plaza]

What would happen if I made a new save pre-tier-2 and uploaded that to the server?..

[tender thicket]

So therefore I didnt lie

[topaz scarab]

lol i'm joking, i don't expect you to be reading it often/ever since you obv aren't the target audience @quick mist

[tender thicket]

It just works™️

[quick mist]

I only alluded to the portion I knew would not have changed (:

[tender thicket]

u can upload to the server thru the server manager in game

super ez

basically 1 click iirc

[karmic plaza]

I don't see how that could possibly blow up in my face

[tender thicket]

nah genuinely it worked perfectly

and besides

if it doesnt work properly u have the local copy

[karmic plaza]

It looks like it just becomes tier 2 automagically

[quick mist]

Dedicated server sessions all start at T2; this is by design

CSS is looking at revisiting this possibly

[tender thicket]

^

[karmic plaza]

I know, I was just hoping it would let me do tier 1 if I loaded a t1 save. Not a huge deal tho.

[tender thicket]

yeah unfortunately not

[rapid spindle]

Thanks! We found that as well, annoying but manageable

[frosty gale]

What is a rest api really

[topaz scarab]

some glue and lots of screaming?

[tender thicket]

it schleep

hence the rest

[silver orbit]

Here is a PowerShell template I use for Launching game servers

$Host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = 'Game Name Dedicated Server!'
$serverloc = "C:\GameServers"
$gamename = "Game_Name"
$steamid = "2857200"
C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir $serverloc\$gamename +login anonymous +app_update $steamid validate +quit
$SteamAppId="$steamid"
Write-host "Starting "$gamename" Dedicated Server - PRESS CTRL-C to exit"
cd $serverloc\$gamename
.\Server.exe -arument1 -argument2 ```

[quick mist]

it stands for REpresentational State Transfer Application Programming Interface

basically "program what let you make program make program do thing"

[paper topaz]

hey yall i ran a dedicated server a few years ago and I want to do it again, should I just follow the wiki and go for it or is there something special i should do? ill probably do a steam install since its on win10

[tender thicket]

ive been told that the wiki is updated for the steamcmd method on the wiki

[quick mist]

Nothing special, just be sure to open both TCP/7777 and UDP/7777

[tender thicket]

u can also host it dockerized

theres a couple different ways to do it

[paper topaz]

aight thanks. i may already have that from when i ran it last time

[silver orbit]

the wiki will work just only need the ports Dope mentioned

[quick mist]

last time TCP/7777 was not required so you might not have opened it before

[silver orbit]

that was 15 minutes of wasted time on launch lol I was kicking myself

[unborn surge]

How long ago was last time?

[silver orbit]

before 1.0

[paper topaz]

ahhh thank you

idk when i last ran the server but im sure it was over a year ago, maybe two. i had heard things changed in 1.0

[quick mist]

they have indeed (:

[paper topaz]

do yall know if the vehicles are still fucked in multiplayer?

they were kinda rough last time lol

[quick mist]

they're a wee bit jank but better than before by far

[paper topaz]

awesome

[silver orbit]

Mine have been fine.

[quick mist]

near par with peer-to-peer performance

[silver orbit]

there little weird things but nothing liek before

[paper topaz]

i just remember cars falling through platforms rubberbanding when autonomous

[silver orbit]

I havent done autonomous yet so

[quick mist]

they'll still do that a wee bit but they've added failsafes for when it happens. No more trucks teleporing to Origin

[paper topaz]

thats good

[spiral goblet]

With it switching to just port 7777 is there a way to run multiple instances of servers on one machine/network?

[silver orbit]

you can change the port with -port

[tender thicket]

There was (is) some messy stuff around servers with ports too close to eachother

[quick mist]

it's actually simpler because there are only two ports to set rathe rthan three and you sat them with the same argument

[tender thicket]

idk if thats still a problem today

[quick mist]

shouldn't be

[spiral goblet]

I misread things then. That makes things much easier then. Thank you for the info.

[quick mist]

UDP/7777 is as different from UDP/31335 as it is from UDP/7776

[quick mist]

Just remember you need both TCP and UDP channels (:

[paper topaz]

s.atisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#SteamCMD

so how much of this is wrong lol

[tender thicket]

yeah but there was problems with the game opening adjacent ports n stuff

from what I read at least

[paper topaz]

like are these both changed with -port?

[quick mist]

they are

[paper topaz]

i assume they always match

[quick mist]

The SteamCMD portion of that is still accurate

[silver orbit]

the port is the same it is the protocol you need to have both open for

so open the same port for Both TCP and UDP

[spiral goblet]

Been a long week so just double checking for clarity. I could do 2 other unused ports and so long as I do TCP and UDP I can do 3 servers on my Unraid machine with the update?

[quick mist]

same number, different port.

[paper topaz]

i already had port 26900 opened on tcp and udp for a 7d2d server, can i just use that?

[quick mist]

you sure can; the only limit is that you need to use the same numbered port on TCP and UDP for each instance

[paper topaz]

awesome thanks

[spiral goblet]

Much appreciated.

[paper topaz]

so here i can drop those arguments and i wouldnt actually need a batch file at all?

[quick mist]

you'd only need to set options in there if you want the new console (-newconsole) or to change the port (e. g. -Port=7779)

[raw owl]

Any one use opnsense? I must be missing something

[paper topaz]

right so im dropping -Port=26900 in there, any reason to add anything else? i intend to just leave the server run 24/7 so anyone can play any time, nothing to fancy

[visual pulsar]

ive been crashing alot on dedicated servers could anyone help me find out why

[quick mist]

look into the section about running it as a service so you don't need to keep a window open all the time; other than that I think you're probably good to go

[chrome pumice]

Client or server crash?

[visual pulsar]

client

[quick mist]

there've been reports of some blueprint-caused crashes

[paper topaz]

this is a headless PC i have sitting in another room with only ethernet and power plugged in lol, i dont really care whats open on it

[quick mist]

fair enough (:

[chrome pumice]

I would start by verifing your install and looking at the crash report.

[paper topaz]

unless it draws extra cpu xD

[paper topaz]

any reason to use the new console?

[quick mist]

it kinda does; drawing text on screen does technically take resources

[visual pulsar]

heres the latest one

[silver orbit]

it is nice for searching things

[paper topaz]

i suppose thats true, but if its minimized i cant image itll impact performance

[silver orbit]

it also looks better IMO

[paper topaz]

so theres no reason NOT to use it lmao

[quick mist]

okeydoke, back to work for me, cheers folks!

[paper topaz]

cya thanks man

[quick mist]

o/

[chrome pumice]

These crash reports don't say fuck all. Got any logs from when it happened?

[spark canopy]

I've been trying to set up a dedicated server through steam, but my friend cant connect. ive opened the ports (tcp 7777) ive tried -multihome 0.0.0.0 and have server quality set to ultra, he is still timing out.

[visual pulsar]

where would i find that?

[paper topaz]

tcp AND udp?

[spark canopy]

yes

[silver orbit]

remove the multi home

[chrome pumice]

Multihome doesn't work and you also need udp 7777

[chrome pumice]

Honestly on a client I am not sure. You are borderline in the area where you need to be sending CSS a ticket if verifying your install doesn't fix it.

[silver orbit]

also make sure you port forward 7777 TCp and UDP from your firewall to the IP where the server is running. and likely the software firewall too if it is on

[spark canopy]

udp 7777 is open as well

[visual pulsar]

says something about gpu crash? near end

[silver orbit]

what gpu are you using ?

[visual pulsar]

4070 super

ill send all the logs rq

[silver orbit]

open a case with CSS

or maybe us ddu to unintall your graphics driver and then install it again ?

[visual pulsar]

already done that

verifyed files

ive done alsorts

[silver orbit]

then yea you need to open a case with CSS

[visual pulsar]

tryed puting -useallavalibalecores in startup command and it just outright crashed my entire computer the next time it crashed

[paper topaz]

ok stupid question i put the server on one pc straight through normal steam, how do i launch the game on my client pc without messing up steam on the server pc?

[sand galleon]

Does CTRL wall replacement work for you guys? It just places the new wall type within the old wall for me.

[visual pulsar]

oh hey red

im the stormworks guy lol

[visual pulsar]

how i do that?

[frosty gale]

consider launching server without steam

[raw owl]

Is there anything else to try if the game runs local, all ports are forwarded, multihome removed, tried restarts and reinstalls ?

[silver orbit]

through the Steam support page under the game ?

https://www.satisfactorygame.com/support

[paper topaz]

how lol should i reinstall it with steamcmd or is there another way to launch what i already have? thanks

when i run the shortcut on the desktop it opens steam

[frosty gale]

the server has no drm

run the executable yourself

[paper topaz]

oh i just realized i could put steam into offline mode

im stupid

thank you lol

[frosty gale]

or that

[raw owl]

it there somthing with steamcmd im missing? somthing to forward there?

[frosty gale]

whats the deal

[silver orbit]

what is your issue ?

[chrome pumice]

How is your internet setup. Is the IP on the router the same as the IP is shows when you got to some site like whatismyip . com?

[silver orbit]

Are you running on Windows or Linux ?

[muted hill]

I have the same question 🤔

[broken kernel]

which file directory contains server version?

[silver orbit]

it is a separate tool

it doesnt get installed with the game

[broken kernel]

so how can i see the version of the server without launching the game

[silver orbit]

what do you mean ?

[broken kernel]

the game has a version number that it is running

and the version number of the server im running is different

[silver orbit]

when you start the server it lists the server version in the console and the log

[broken kernel]

oh ok

[chrome pumice]

Update the one that is the smaller but the only way I know to check is to try and connect and see the mismatch error.

[broken kernel]

thank you

[silver orbit]

the dedi server will list the version here ^

[woven adder]

does anybody know how i might be able to add an existing world to my server? I've tried exploring the file tree but i can't see any obvious place.

[silver orbit]

depends on what you running on

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

[woven adder]

it's just an ubuntu vm

[noble escarp]

Hi guys i have a question about my dedicated server. i noticed the graphics are worse then in single player mode. is this normal or is it the server provider?

[chrome pumice]

Server Manager.

[chrome pumice]

Graphics are based on your client nothing to do with server.

No idea what that is.

lol

[covert shard]

haha

[noble escarp]

okay weird, because i get the feeling there is a lot of difference

[silver orbit]

loading times can be the server

[chrome pumice]

Only thing server does is offload cpu load. You might have fps issues if the server is not good or you have high ms, but the server does not do anything with graphics. That is entirely client side.

[noble escarp]

okay gotcha, thank you. Is high ram also required? i play with 3 people and have 8gb server

[paper topaz]

is there any option to play with more than 4 players by enabling some experimental option?

[silver orbit]

my server comonly has 2 people and sits around 4GB used

[chrome pumice]

Yes but not at first. Ram goes up based on the size of the factory, but I would recommend anything above 12gb

If you are going to be going into late game.

[chrome pumice]

Yes its a setting in the game.ini file.

[noble escarp]

okay thank you very much

[chrome pumice]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers somewhere on this page should tell you more.

[paper topaz]

awesome thanks

[paper topaz]

is there already a .ini file or do i need to make one?

[chrome pumice]

It should already be there but ask me again if its not I have a way to force it. Don't create it. It will not work unless it is auto created.

[paper topaz]

gotcha thanks

do i add the maxplayers only or that whole section there

[chrome pumice]

Both lines.

[paper topaz]

👍

[silver orbit]

anyone have the save command to run on the console ?

[chrome pumice]

Which console?

[silver orbit]

either

[chrome pumice]

Server Manager has a save button.

[silver orbit]

yea, I dont want to back out to make a save

[chrome pumice]

You don't

[silver orbit]

O then maybe IDK what the server manager is ?

[chrome pumice]

Server Manager -> Server -> Manage Saves -> Save bottome right.

Are you in game right now?

[silver orbit]

OMG i never noticed that was they /blind

[chrome pumice]

lol

[silver orbit]

lol

This is the 3rd tim I have build the Caterium Factory

if I have to do it again cause the save corrupts I am going to quit lol

[chrome pumice]

You can also change the auto-save interval there.

[silver orbit]

the problem with auto save is that it over wrties the save

so it keeps 3 files

[chrome pumice]

No it does 3 before overwriting

[silver orbit]

and then keeps over writing so if you do not catch the corruption fast enough you have to go backway further

yea, I am slow typing 🙂

I didnt catch it both times the save corrupt in time

[chrome pumice]

I have never really had a corrupted save issue. Maybe I just have been lucky.

[silver orbit]

so i lost the save had to start over form the previous day

I havent until 1.0 so

if your server console ever looks like this, then the save is corrupted

[paper topaz]

does the server not tick when no players are online anymore? did it used to?

[silver orbit]

it is a setting

[chrome pumice]

In the server manager

[paper topaz]

ah awesome where

[silver orbit]

it is now called Auto pause

[paper topaz]

epic

thank you

[random mulch]

Hi all,
I have a dedicated server running on my PC. After starting it, it works fine. I'm just connecting to it locally. However, if I leave it for a while (without connecting) like overnight, then I can't connect again. Shows This server appears to be offline. Windows power settings are to never sleep btw.
Last output in the server window is shortly after I closed the game. - almost exactly 9 minutes actually.
There is one error just after closing the game:
[2024.09.13-16.59.37:658][360]LogServer: Error: FMultiBindDatagramSocket failed to read data from underlying socket Unreal: SE_ECONNRESET
Any ideas?

[chrome pumice]

Thats a known bug. No workaround or fix known.

[silver orbit]

are you running on the same PC the client is on ?

[random mulch]

yep

[silver orbit]

yea then what @chrome pumice said

[random mulch]

Is it only an issue if running locally?

[chrome pumice]

No

[silver orbit]

only if you use the same pc for the server and client

from what i understand

[chrome pumice]

A few people are cursed with that issue on remote servers.

[random mulch]

So it should work if I run the server on a separate PC?

[chrome pumice]

Maybe but probably not. I would not have high hopes.

[pulsar frost]

ok so i just got my server updated and now my client is acting like it's a new server and my game is gone. what did i mess up do you think?

[random mulch]

I asume this is a new issue in 1.0. I never had any problems before. It used to run several weeks straight without restart

[chrome pumice]

it is

[silver orbit]

you should just need to load the save

but it sounds liek you wiped the config

[chrome pumice]

It shouldn't have wiped the saved game area that doesn't change. Did you update the server with a different user account?

[pulsar frost]

oh i bet i did. i had logged in before with my steam login and forgot that i didn't need to

[chrome pumice]

yeah the saved folder is under the user/.config file of the install user or the user that starts the server? Not 100% which one but I bet you updated with the same user you started with. Go back to the OG user account and you should be fine.

[pulsar frost]

ok great, thank you so much 🙂

[paper topaz]

so when i inevitably need to update the server, will i be able to just hit update in steam since i installed it through steam, or will it wipe my save file and stuff and ill need to readd things?

[chrome pumice]

No it should be fine. Just make sure you use the same user every time.

[raw owl]

can you set up a vpn to a vm to bypass your router?

[paper topaz]

same user to do what? its on a seperate pc and the players including me will keep everything the same

[chrome pumice]

Same user you installed with and ran the startup command/.exe with.

[paper topaz]

same steam user?

i see

👍

[chrome pumice]

And yes I updated yesterday and ever user had their inventory + the server save didn't lose anything.

[tropic abyss]

Anyone know how to fix the "Certify Verify Result: certificate is not yet valid (9)" issue??

[silver orbit]

it is possible but should be far easier to port forward

[raw owl]

i have doesnt work

[chrome pumice]

Not steam user. User on the machine you are running the server on ie windows account user if you are using windows.

[tropic abyss]

Where do I find the settings/config file in the server folder?

[chrome pumice]

What are you trying to change?

[tropic abyss]

It's failing TLS negotiation

and saying certificate isn't valid

[silver orbit]

Did you make your own cert ?

[chrome pumice]

It is a selfsign cert. I would check you time/date settings. I have only seen that when those are off.

[tropic abyss]

How do we do that?

Date/time is correct

[chrome pumice]

The server generates it on startup. It last 4hour or 4 days. I don't remember.

[silver orbit]

Screenshot the error you are seeing

[chrome pumice]

Are you 100% sure. I only ask because the 8 other people I have seen with this error all had some kind of time/timezone/date issues that fixed it.

[tropic abyss]

He just changed it to auto set with windows. I’ll lyk

Nope. No change

[chrome pumice]

Is not yet valid would imply it will be valid in the future, but not now.

[tropic abyss]

Sooooo.... how do we make it valid

[silver orbit]

Verify the times are the same on the client and the Server and make sure when checking the time they arent set for different timezones

[tropic abyss]

Yeah they're the same

Verified again for ya

[chrome pumice]

If he just changed it then you will have to wait out the old cert or find where it is and delete it. I have no idea where it is.

[paper topaz]

OH

ive only got one

thats strange tho i wouldnt expect that

wonder why

[chrome pumice]

Then you should be fine. The server save game location is in user/.config so every user could have a different server config and save folder.

[paper topaz]

oh i see. thanks for the help, just gotta wait on my friends now lol

[tropic abyss]

Just tried using a .bat file to start and no change

[silver orbit]

I cant find the cert.

[tropic abyss]

Same bro. Might completely uninstall and reinstall

[chrome pumice]

Could try deleteing the server files and reinstalling to see if that will generate a new cert.

[silver orbit]

it isnt installed in the local PC store which liekly means it is create ont he install of the Dedi server and is in a dll or something

[chrome pumice]

Might need to also blow away the user/.config area BACKUP YOUR SAVE IF YOU DO THIS THIS IS WHERE YOUR GAME SAVE IS STORED.

[tropic abyss]

yeah. we don't have the world in it, so uninstall is easier

we'll move the world over

[chrome pumice]

Pretty sure it get generated on server startup. I think I remember seeing it in the log.

[chrome pumice]

That area is not touched by an uninstall/ install and has management file in it like world saves.

[silver orbit]

ok, let me see if I can find the fingerprint

[tropic abyss]

What area isn't touched? Cert files?

[silver orbit]

yup, so the cert is generate on the run of the server

Should look like this in the log

[chrome pumice]

No the user/.config area where saves are stored. The cert might be there because I think the server name / password stuff is there.

[silver orbit]

right after that is the fingerprint

[stoic stream]

Can someone tell me PLEASE why when the server restarts, on it's own, it just doesn't come back up. I have to manually get it back up.

[chrome pumice]

It should. Mine does just fine.

[topaz scarab]

i think a few others are having that issue

[tropic abyss]

So what has to be the same for it to work??

[chrome pumice]

~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames The exact location of the saves.

[tropic abyss]

Okay cool. I'll move our other world over after we can get the server to work

[stoic stream]

That's cool, but mine doesn't. Where can I post this issues, what'st he link to the forums

[silver orbit]

What OS are you runnign the server on?

[tropic abyss]

Windows 10

[chrome pumice]

https://www.satisfactorygame.com/support/

[wide crystal]

Hello, my current problem is server name is unauthenticated, yet before I stopped playing the dedicated server I made was working in U8. Updated through steamcmd and deleted mod files in both the game and the dedicated server files bc update is fresh. Also, port forwarding range is 15000-15777 with port number on 7777. Is this a normal issue the community has had? If so, how can i fix this?

[brittle wedge]

forwarding 7777 TCP and UDP?

[chrome pumice]

With 1.0 you now only need port 7777 TCP and port 7777 UDP.

[lime sigil]

Is there no way to increase the playercount from 4 without a dedicated session?

[chrome pumice]

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

[wide crystal]

both the range and the number itself is on TCP/UDP. Would i only need the port number 7777 on its own now? No reason for the port range?

[silver orbit]

DM me.

[lime sigil]

implemented that change and it doesn't appear to work on my non-dedicated session

[chrome pumice]

So you are not using a server?

[tropic abyss]

One of the two messages I’ve been getting

[chrome pumice]

Correct.

[chrome pumice]

That is good. You want to see that.

[lime sigil]

i am pretty sure that's what non-dedicated means

[chrome pumice]

Then you are stuck at 4 players max.

[tropic abyss]

But it still doesn't work......

[topaz scarab]

sure, but nobody words it like that

[lime sigil]

thank you!

[chrome pumice]

After you click the confirm what happens?

[outer fossil]

❤️

[wide crystal]

Server continues to appear offline, with no prompt of being able to customize as well. Is there a way to check which IP the dedicated server is trying to connect to or something along those lines?

[chrome pumice]

Should be the ip of the host it is running on.

[wide crystal]

Weird. So the datalog from the dedicated server window seems to be normal (no red text or any connection problems), yet in-game it just refuses to present itself. Would I have to resort to an overall reinstallation?

[outer fossil]

if you're the owner of the game, yeah you pay actually.

you are pretty much asking for free compute lol

[chrome pumice]

Do you see any connection being tried when you add the server on a game client?

[wide crystal]

Actually is this a bad sign?

[gentle shore]

if i started a game on an indifferent brocolli server, how do my friends join?

not sure if we're doing this right

[topaz scarab]

they really ought to have disabled colored messages in that console lol
everyone shits their pants when they see red

[wide crystal]

Elaborate if you will?

[chrome pumice]

It should show the ip you are trying to connect to and say something like connection trying or connected or something. If you see nothing when you try to connect then you are not getting to the server and should double check your servers networking ie: port forwarding and ip info.

[chrome pumice]

explain more please.

[topaz scarab]

it's some random cloud host

[chrome pumice]

Oh so your friends have 1 brocolli server and you have another and you now want to join theirs?

[gentle shore]

no, i started a brocolli server and it seems to be working

do they just "join game?"

i gave them the ip address

[chrome pumice]

They join the same way you did.

[gentle shore]

they createa a game?

under server manager?

will we be in teh same area?

that doesn't seem intuitive to me

[chrome pumice]

No under server manager should have join game now that you created one instead of create game.

If you return to main menu you should see the join game button now.

[gentle shore]

i do. but how do they see the game i created?

like when htey open satisfactory, they should go under server manager and not pick "join game?"

[raw schooner]

How do I fix this? My inventory is there

[gentle shore]

tha's what I see, but what would they pick?

[chrome pumice]

You kill it and pick up the items.

[chrome pumice]

Same thing. They should see your ongoing game.

[chrome pumice]

To have it not happen again wait about 15-30 seconds after you dc to reconnect.

[woven adder]

can the player cap be increased somehow?

[wide crystal]

After scanning the console, IPs shown don't seem to state my current IP (0.0.0.0 for example). However, I read lines such as:

[2024.09.14-04.10.00:416][ 0]LogGameState: Match State Changed from EnteringMap to WaitingToStart
[2024.09.14-04.10.00:416][ 0]LogLoad: Took 0.064190 seconds to LoadMap(/Game/FactoryGame/Map/DedicatedserverEntry)
LogGame: Warning: Telemetry, no local player found.
[2024.09.14-04.10.00:417][ 0]LogGame: Telemetry, starting service.
[2024.09.14-04.10.00:417][ 0]LogGame: Warning: Telemetry, no local player found.
[2024.09.14-04.10.00:421][ 0]LogGame: Telemetry instance started without a platform.

So i assume that the server is working, but connection isn't because of port forwarding? However, I've already inputted 7777 as a port forward.

[frosty gale]

Startup arg or editing game.ini

[raw schooner]

Thank you

[chrome pumice]

Yes https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers Search maxplayers

[woven adder]

appreciate it

[chrome pumice]

Correct your client is not able to reach the server, but the server is up and looks good.

[gentle shore]

we got it working. thanks. is there a way to disable ` being the debug? that is my discord push to talk

[chrome pumice]

options -> keybindings?

[gentle shore]

debug isn't in the list

[chrome pumice]

then no

[wide crystal]

Thank you very much for giving the time to help not only me, but other people with dedicated server issues. I've ended up figuring out what seemed to be the problem, and it was the IP address's value different from the last digit. The Xfinity app (my service provider) gives a different IP address listed; so it's best to default to what the IP is on what command prompt says.

I hope whoever has or will have my problem learns from my experience!

dropping this here in case it helps someone. i was having trouble running a dedicated server on one computer and then trying to use the same Steam account on another computer as a client. i double checked firewall (removed and re-added the rules), updated port forwarding rules per 1.0 instructions (TCP/UDP 7777) etc, all didn't work.

as a last ditch effort, i tried downloading the dedicated server from Epic instead. this works flawlessly even with the Epic account offline. the Epic account also owns the game (though i don't think this is required for the server software?) and was able to connect as a client on yet another computer from outside the LAN (confirming my port forwarding was correct with the first setup).

[modern walrus]

it says my server is offline how do i make it online

[lime sigil]

were you launching the steam dedicated server from steam, or from the executable in the directory?

[sleek moon]

@modern walrus , Are you using Gportal?

[woven sparrow]

from the executable with the steam account offline. wasn't using steamcmd either (didn't have to before)

[lime sigil]

I'm gonna have to try this right now, I'm going bananas trying to get this to work

[modern walrus]

no im using some other thing a yt video told me to do

[frosty gale]

The server has no drm and can be run manually

Most will install it with steamcmd instead for this reason

[sleek moon]

@modern walrus Ah ok, sorry I don't know how to fix it - I'm having issues myself using Gportal

[woven sparrow]

^ yeah that's what i thought but just couldn't get this working properly on steam without going down the steamcmd route (which i didn't try - this epic setup is much simpler for me)

[modern walrus]

alr

[woven sparrow]

to be clear, in the final working setup i have, on three different computers:

• epic server running by just running the executable in the directory (epic not logged in)
• steam running the game through the steam GUI while logged in
• epic running the game through epic GUI while logged in

[frosty gale]

Why do you have 2 computers running thr game

[woven sparrow]

for 2 people 🙂

[frosty gale]

That's fair

[frosty gale]

Whats your issue

[lime sigil]

When I try to claim the server from the client, it doesn't show up from its WAN IP. If I claim via LAN IP it works, and I can join, but none of my WAN players can, and I also can't join from my own WAN IP (pretty sure I should be able to do this)

my machine is set as a DMZ in the router

[woven sparrow]

yeah same thing i had - could join locally on the PC that was running it but not from WAN or any other LAN device

[frosty gale]

You should just do regular port forwarding instead

Dmz has been unreliable in my experience

Tcp udp 7777

[lime sigil]

I'll try it again, I tried it once but I only did 7777 and didn't try other ports

[modern walrus]

it says my dedicated server is not authenticated what do i do

[frosty gale]

Screenshot

[frosty gale]

Make sure you set it to both protocols

[lime sigil]

tcp and udp!

but alas

[modern walrus]

how i fix this

[frosty gale]

You cannot connect to the server

It is either off or not port forwarded

[modern walrus]

how do i make it work

[frosty gale]

?

Ensure those two things are done first

[modern walrus]

how do i check those to things?

[frosty gale]

Are you self hosting or using a host provider

[modern walrus]

dont know i just watched a yt video and did what it saud

[frosty gale]

You might be out of your depth

[hot iron]

how do i make a dedicated server and turn it online

[frank thunder]

Sorry if this has already been asked, but does anyone know if the vehicles are still glitchy on multiplayer and/or dedicated servers?

[hot iron]

little bit

[frank thunder]

Damn. I was hoping they'd get that fixed for 1.0.

[frosty gale]

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

[topaz scarab]

rude

[hot iron]

idk what that stuff means

[topaz scarab]

let's start with uh
what exactly you want to do with said server

does it need to be on 24/7

[hot iron]

make a server that can be joined by the people in it anytime

lime a minecraft realm

[frosty gale]

What was the purpose of that message

[wide crystal]

Hello again dedi server channel, I have a server up and running and am able to join, but a friend says its not authenticated on their end and they cannot, what do i do?

[frosty gale]

Port forward

Allow through firewall

[topaz scarab]

well you're in the right place at least
how familiar are you with servers in general

[hot iron]

i know a server is a thing you join

i know diffrence between dedicated and non dedicated

[topaz scarab]

no links lol, use a discord gif maybe (even those don't show up tho)

[frosty gale]

He just keeps sending Bing searches for monkey

What is wrong with everyone in this channel today

[topaz scarab]

eternal summer, obv

[frosty gale]

<@&387163995947270144>

[topaz scarab]

don't let it get to you

[hot iron]

i know he just frusterating

[tropic zodiac]

Anybody got encryption token missing? I've port forwarded UDP & TCP 7777. Even then i still cant get to my dedicated server on the same LAN if i use join. I can join via server manager though

[frosty gale]

That's how you're supposed to join

[topaz scarab]

yeah join is broken

[tropic zodiac]

Ah okay.. so i need to allow my friends to use the server manager right

[topaz scarab]

bet they didn't bother testing multiplayer before release
smh my head

[hot iron]

smh his head

[tropic zodiac]

Thanks!

[hot iron]

but if i want a server like a minecraft realm what do i do

[modern walrus]

anyone got a good yt video to watch that gives a tutorial on how to do it

[topaz scarab]

we're not obligated to help, especially if you're being mean, y'know

[tropic zodiac]

the wiki is pretty detailed and easy to follow

literally copy and paste to make a dedicated server

[hot iron]

paste into what

[topaz scarab]

plus deleting messages doesn't delete them, either

[tropic zodiac]

u on windows or linux?

[hot iron]

window

[tropic zodiac]

install steam cmd..
open a powershell/terminal
paste the code to install
double click the factoryserver
adjust engine.ini / game.ini as needed
port forward the thing

Thats basically it

[hot iron]

what is steam cmd whats a powershell

[spark pumice]

I would highly suggest renting a server if you don't know these things man

[hot iron]

no tengo dinero

i no have money

[deft wolf]

I finally unlocked the blueprint designer, but blueprints are not saving. I have tried renaming the server with no special charaters or spaces and have restarted the server several times. Deleted the initial blueprint designer and rebuilt, still doesn't save. Anyone know what else I can try?

[tropic zodiac]

idk what to say man... quick google search and you'll find all the guides you need. good luck

[topaz scarab]

prob some 10 year old

[modern walrus]

hey man please stop

mod

mod

please kick this man

this is absurd behavior

@golden roost

kick him at once

[topaz scarab]

teehee

[frosty gale]

Pays to have hide blocked messages plugin

[modern walrus]

ikr

stupid people

[topaz scarab]

i could, i don't

number goes up

[frosty gale]

That's what the games about after all

[modern walrus]

thanks so much for helping this server

[deft wolf]

wow did I pick the wrong time to ask a question

[topaz scarab]

no, go ahead
lmao yup

[deft wolf]

things went wild there right after I posted it

[topaz scarab]

oh

no i saw it and immediately got side tracked

[deft wolf]

understandable

[topaz scarab]

i think a few others are having blueprint/bp designer issues too, but i'm not sure that's something you can fix

[silver orbit]

Are you placing everything and then going and nameing and choosing a directory ?

[deft wolf]

yea thats what I was afraid of. I downloaded the save and tried it in a normal game and the blueprints worked fine.

[deft wolf]

yes

[silver orbit]

I had to hit save a few times one or 2 times i had an issue

Save then leave the blue print panel

[rose zodiac]

for some reason if I place foundations, rejoin and try to break them they stay there on my client but if I walk on them I bug through, if I press middle click on them they also say N/A

[silver orbit]

then go back hit save again

[silver orbit]

this sounds like save corruption,

[rose zodiac]

its a fresh 1.0 save, started yesterday

[silver orbit]

yea, I have had mine corrupt 3 times since launch

[deft wolf]

I have this same issue, fell to my death twice because of it. Once because i didn't realize the block wasn't actually there, and then a 2nd time due to being dumb

[deft wolf]

so if it is a save corruption, do you just have to start your game over?

[silver orbit]

if you do not have a good save from before yes

[wicked knot]

back up early, back up often

[silver orbit]

i lost liek 5 hours be cause i didnt catch it fast enough

[deft wolf]

I guess my problem would be I don't even know when the corruption would have happened if that is my problem

[rose zodiac]

well mine was broken on like minute 30

[silver orbit]

does your dedi server show things like this on the console

[rose zodiac]

so Im probably just gonna deal with it until satisfactory fixes it

[wicked knot]

there's things I have waited 5 years for them to fix

[deft wolf]

yes and looky there, something red about blueprints

[silver orbit]

create a save file

then load something further back if you have one and see if you get the same issue

though you might try restarting the server if you havent done so

[rose zodiac]

oh yeah didnt even think about this

just restarting the server seems to have fixed it for now

[dusty smelt]

I'm aware that logging out while in a vehicle was a problem, but got kicked from a friend's server due to some time-out issue and now can't log back in. Is this a known issue, and will I need to ask him to save edit/reset my character to get it resolved?

[silver orbit]

He can't do anything with your character, have him restart the server, if that doesn't work likely need to figure out the timeout thing

[deft wolf]

thanks for your help. I am afraid I might just have to start over. I don't think I have any older saves

[silver orbit]

Yea sucks, I started.make save after I do big additions or bunch of progress

[dusty smelt]

I've been crashing out every time the host leaves the server. He's the expert, but was hoping I could at least do my due diligence and point him in the right direction.

[silver orbit]

Is he hosting on the same machine he is playing from?

[dusty smelt]

I don't believe so, last I checked

[silver orbit]

Ok, it is a known issue is the host leaves the game it kills the server

It makes it hang or something

[dusty smelt]

Dope. Well, good to know, I'll make sure I'm in a safe spot in the future. Guess I'll have him reset tomorrow and see if that fixes the vehicle thing then.

[vague kestrel]

Can anyone point me some more information on fixing this issue? It will randomly crash my server and require me to kill and restart it manually.

LogHttpListener: Error: Error accepting expected connection [0] SE_NO_ERROR

[woeful dock]

I got a nitrado server, and always when the game does an autosave the server restarts. Does any1 know a fix for this?

[full bolt]

Can anyone please help? We are trying to set up a dedicated server and we got as far as being able to see the server in the server manager on the client side, but when we try to start a game it sits in an endless loading screen, it also says single player and we don't see any way to set multiplayer?

[fossil sinew]

Change hosts. That shouldnt happen at all.

[woeful dock]

I checked on another host, but same issue. But I found a crash code there seems to be a fatal error when trying to autosave

[opal owl]

what environment?

[full bolt]

win10 for both server and client, running the server through epic
