[fleet pier]

windows gsm downloads it from steam

[silver orbit]

I have no experience with that

I have a Windows Server 2022 that i use Steamcmd on and dont have that issue

[fleet pier]

i mean its installed like any other server would be. i can run the server without gsm even if i wanted. all it does is provide a clean place to see all your servers

[tender thicket]

yeah man our purview kinda stretches mainly to initial connection to servers

performance and all that is a bit more complicated and per system

[tender thicket]

Did u check drivers n allat?

[fleet pier]

i do updates and drivers religously

[tender thicket]

fair

[native radish]

my server wont start at all. whenever i click the exe to start it it gives an error message popup

[silver orbit]

and the error is ?

[silver orbit]

did you try launching outside GSM ?

[steep mist]

Is there any configuration to be had with setting up the server? Got everything working locally but having issues getting it though my public IP. Ports are forwarded UDP and TCP, 7777, 15000, 15777.

[native radish]

lemme check 1 more time i just restarted the pc

[tender thicket]

only need 7777 udp/tcp

those other ports are old

[steep mist]

Gotcah

[tender thicket]

make sure u double check port forwarding

[fleet pier]

we are going to play until the ping gets bad again and then ill try that

[tender thicket]

if the port forwarding is working correctly you should see something like this in the browser

[silver orbit]

wait so it starts fine and then get bad ?

how long ?

[tender thicket]

Need to do https:// tho

[fleet pier]

it varies.

[silver orbit]

what is going on the Server console when that happens ?

[tender thicket]

Id assume otherwise but just checking all the boxes: is ur hardware good enough?

[fleet pier]

just restarted it. ill report back.

so before 1.0 i had zero problems

[tender thicket]

like 8gb ram, CPU with decent single core perf

[tender thicket]

all that

[native radish]

thats the code im getting

[silver orbit]

what did you install the server with ?

[silver orbit]

same I have had corrupt saves numerous times in 1.0

[native radish]

i installed steam cmd from the webside and then satisfactory from there

[silver orbit]

that cause all kinds of wierd shit kinda like what you are saying

[silver orbit]

command used for pulling with steamcmd is?

[native radish]

.\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit

[silver orbit]

get rid of the -beta public

[tender thicket]

dont need the beta tag

but other than that looks good

[native radish]

Just delete it completely?

[finite condor]

my dedicated server broke as well with the 1.0 update giving me authentication issues, going for a fresh install rn

[silver orbit]

yea

[tender thicket]

1.0 has different ports and everything, better to fresh

[finite condor]

sweet

fresh install worked woo 👍

[tender thicket]

noice

[native radish]

same error message after it re-installed

Im pretty sure i have all the drivers and im 100% sure windows if fully updated

[hearty nacelle]

this has been happenening frequently on a server that I and a few friends play on mostly right around the autosaves

[tender thicket]

might be bps?

do u have blueprints/a blueprint creator thing?

[hearty nacelle]

we are usuing blueprints pretty heavily

[tender thicket]

they are p buggy rn

could be it

not certain tho

[hearty nacelle]

thanks for the info

[native radish]

i have no clue where to go from here

[silver orbit]

you have AV or security software ?

[native radish]

nothing

[topaz scarab]

not running the factory server exe in the game server root?

[native radish]

im opening it from the steam cmd folder

[topaz scarab]

well it's a super generic error

[silver orbit]

check event viewer for why it is crashing

seems like something in windows is broken

do you have another computer to try loading it on ?

[native radish]

Yeah i do i have my laptop

[silver orbit]

copy the folder to your laptop and run it

[tough portal]

Well the firmware update fixed the ping on wife's side, but still stutters really bad

[steep mist]

Ok, better question, anyone find a pterodactyl egg that works for the latest release? Using any public IP causes this one to crash.

[topaz scarab]

vc redist missing maybe?

[native radish]

Should i just give up on windows entirely?

[proven geyser]

is ther a server command to get rid of Dismantle Crates?

delete them not disable them completely

[gilded moat]

no, no commands are enabled

gotta wait for plugins/mods to come out

[quick mist]

why would a command be needed? empty the crate and they get rid of themselves

[proven geyser]

dont wanna go through hundreds of crates

[proven geyser]

welp

[gilded moat]

@proven geyser satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

upload your map and edit your crates

[proven geyser]

oh cool, thanks

[clear cloud]

Anyone know what satisfactory uses as the service name. I’m trying to setup a SRV record for a dedicated server. Also I’m assuming it uses tcp

[quick mist]

Satisfactory dedicated servers by default serve on TCP/7777 and UDP/7777

[clear cloud]

Good to know, it will need both, any idea on the service name?

[quick mist]

Afraid not, sorry.

[untold girder]

can i use a raspberry pi to host a server?

[topaz scarab]

you can for sure try

[outer fossil]

we dont support arm

[outer fossil]

satisfactory doesnt have an SRV record

the only games i know of that support them are MC and factorio

they are rare to see

[fleet pier]

Ok SO my point just started getting bad again. 400

Ping*

[maiden kettle]

Is there is a known issue with map markers not saving on a server after a restart?

[pseudo current]

same problem - i suspect it gets worse when people are building as we had massive problems with 2 people building simultaniously yesterday...but just a guess

[dim mountain]

Should be hardware related, if you host the server yourself, check for potential bottlenecks to performance, like if your server runs on a hdd or ssd (I am using an nvme) or if your ram capacity is enough

[fleet pier]

I we JUST have a small iron and copper factory

[dim mountain]

Can you tell me your hardware? Satisfactory also depends on good single core performance, so a weak mobile cpu or something from 6 years ago might not keep up...

[fleet pier]

32GB ram, SSD 844 GB free of 931. internet speed is 1400 Mbps down 40 up

[dim mountain]

Since you only have 2 small factories, I doubt its ram related unless you are running other programs that take up a lot of capacity. Also check on reserved ram capacity, as some programms may make it unable to use their reserved ram

[fleet pier]

I was running this fine in experimental. weve had a server for like a year

i closed all other programs

[dim mountain]

Is it a standalone setup or run on your pc?

[fleet pier]

its a seperate computer. it says 31gb free on ram

[dim mountain]

Can you check on the specs of the computer? Like cpu, ram

[pseudo current]

same Problem with that setup:

[west plinth]

so dedicated servers really hate the boombox

[dim mountain]

Well I am running my own hardware, 16 gb of ddr4 ram, i5 12gen, and I don't have the same issues like you have at all

[pseudo current]

we didnt have any issues day 1...only started day2

it really flactuates a lot...sometimes its buttery smooth and then it goes back to 300ms

[grave junco]

hi, i need some help. i've created a server using shockbyte, and inside the game in server manager i have set a password which obviously i forgot. how can i reset it ? somebody knows it ?

[fleet pier]

y7es. this

we were fin for like a couple hours

[pseudo current]

sometimes the log of our server just gets spammed to hell...but not always

[fading quarry]

delete the ServerSettings.7777 file and reclaim the server.

[dim mountain]

I just looked up your cpu and it seems to have pretty mediocre single core performance. It is a 2012 cpu afterall, although it may also be a software related issue

[fleet pier]

right. i guess im just confised why i was all good before and now im not. :/

[pseudo current]

shouldnt that only impact tick rate?

[dim mountain]

The possibilities are literally endless here, I recommend doing a fresh install of satisfactory, preferably as a docker on Ubuntu, as the install is very easy and is easier to troubleshoot

[grave junco]

from the Server or client side ?

[dim mountain]

Yea but the ram and storage location seem fine so I am pretty confused aswell haha

[fading quarry]

Oh if your CPU bound that issue will most deffinitely happen when you get into thread locking state. It happens pretty much with all SF server at some point if you manage to overrun the capability of the CPU.

It is not unreasonable to think that your CPU just gets to a point where it sits at 100% CPU utilization and just cant keep up.

SF dedicated should have a better CPU in its server than on your gaming PC

[pseudo current]

it usually hovers around 50% for me

[fleet pier]

im at 30

[fading quarry]

On the server.

[pseudo current]

as the ping spikes are sometimes happening when the server log is spammed i suspect that we just have stuff is our worlds that is tripping the server
I hope we will see some fixes in the upcoming week

[dim mountain]

50% is over all cores, you need to look at each core individually to see the real utilisation, but I think your server provider doesn't give you access to such detailed info right?

[fading quarry]

Yes and also look at the main thread.

If you host on linux its simple, on windows its a little more tricky but can be done with installing power toys.

[dim mountain]

Yes, ubuntu + wolveix's docker image is the way to go! Doesn't struggle at all even in my endgame save

[fading quarry]

yea been using Wolveix' container for past couple of years its great!

[inland breach]

i'm getting an issue where me and someone else are able to join my dedicated server, but a third person isn't able to
any idea what issue could be or how to debug it?

[fading quarry]

did that third person forget to add the server in the server manager? Usually that is the case.

[inland breach]

no, they've added the server in server manager, but it shows up as offline for them

and they're able to ping server fine

[dim mountain]

Maybe their game is outdated or the servers build is not the same as theirs, or you have restricted the amount of players to 2

[inland breach]

build number on bottom left matches ours, and max players is 4. they also can't join when no one is in server

[fading quarry]

have a 4th person tried?

[inland breach]

no, can try to find someone to test though

[dim mountain]

If you give me a second I can try joining, you can dm me the ip

[fleet pier]

well. i looked at my cores individually. there really shouldnt be a problem. im goin nuts

[cinder axle]

This might be a stupid question, but why is my dedicated server showing "offline" in the server manager?
I'm forwarding port 7777 via SSH, so it should work

[fading quarry]

I had literally same issues on my old server with X5680 Xeon cpu' when we reached a certain point on a save when we were 3-4 players. It would go from being smooth to unplayable literally over night usually at the tier 6-7.

[cinder axle]

ssh -R 7777:localhost:7777 lily@<SERVER_ADDRESS_REDACTED> -N -q

This has worked for other things in the past

7777 is open on the target, as well:
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:7777

[quick mist]

SSH is a TCP protocol, you need to also forward UDP

[fading quarry]

you need to tunnel both TCP and UDP

[cinder axle]

Ugh. Seriously?

TCP is the superior protocol...

[quick mist]

Seriously.

The server uses UDP and TCP on the same port number.

[cinder axle]

Well, I have no other way to port forward ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fading quarry]

TCP is used for the new API UDP is for the game server.

[quick mist]

UDP for realtime data, TCP for transactional data

[cinder axle]

Also, this is probably unrelated, but Steam multiplayer doesn't work either

Only "Watch Game" and "Invite to Watch" options

[quick mist]

Steam friends integration for joining games only works for peer-to-peer games because that's what it's for

[cinder axle]

Yeah, that's what I mean

I'm gonna see if I can get UDP routed to TCP

Since port forwarding via router is not an option

[fading quarry]

Setup wireguard its quick and quite simple

[cinder axle]

What?

[fading quarry]

VPN tunnel

[cinder axle]

wireguard is a vpn

i don't want a vpn

I want to tunnel a specific port only

I have other things running through an SSH tunnel on my machine so a VPN is out of the question

That'll break those

WireGuard uses only[11] UDP,[5]
Well that's a problem

Why suggest something if it won't work

[dry marsh]

we had defaultdeny option on, when we turned it of everyone was able to join

[quick mist]

Is there a reason you can't just open UDP/7777 and TCP/7777 on the host running the server?

[cinder axle]

Because 'the host' is my machine

[small obsidian]

any one german here who can help me with the server. my fugging server wont show online... New installation portforwarding all is clear all is done. Installation oveer SteeamCMD but nothing shows up ingame

[cinder axle]

And as stated before

[quick mist]

…if it's your machine you should be easily able to do so.

[cinder axle]

Port forwarding via router is not an option

[inland breach]

for context, this is a ovh specific thing. it had a firewall that blocked all ports by default

[cinder axle]

Not least because I don't have Ethernet

[fading quarry]

oof I can assure you, you are in for a world of pain trying to play and host on the same machine. This has be thoroughly tested and its not a good experience.

[cinder axle]

Unless the dedicated server is publicly available and runnable standalone (without Steam installed) there's no other option lol

[quick mist]

("because it's my machine" is not a terribly good answer for tech helpers' questioning "why can you not just do The Thing You Need Specifically To Do?"

it is publicly available and runnable standalone

the CLI steam client used to download it does not need to be running for the server to be running.

[cinder axle]

So you need the Steam client

[quick mist]

it just downloads/updates the software

[cinder axle]

So it's not standalone

without Steam installed

steamcmd counts as steam

Oh I can probably just compress the directory and then run it

[quick mist]

you can if you feel so inclined completely delete SteamCMD after installing the server and it will run just fine

[cinder axle]

I don't intend to install steamcmd onto my VPS because that would require me to log in to Steam

[fading quarry]

no

[quick mist]

no it would not

[small obsidian]

steamCMD has anonymous login

[cinder axle]

...You don't need to own the game to download the dedicated server?

[fading quarry]

no

[quick mist]

no, you do not

[cinder axle]

Then why the hell does it need steamCMD?

[fading quarry]

does not need it

its a tool

[cinder axle]

There are currently no plans for an ARM CPU-compatible build
oh

[quick mist]

Because Steam is the CDN used to distribute it

[fading quarry]

of convenience

[quick mist]

most games with dedicated servers can be downloaded via anonymous login (well the servers can)

[cinder axle]

yeaaaah the only server I have that's capable of running this is ARM

[stable wadi]

is there a console command in the game to get IP?

[cinder axle]

back to the drawing board I 'spose

[quick mist]

in the game? not that I know of. But on the server running it? absolutely

[fading quarry]

yeah no ARM support, and it wont run under x86 virtualization on arm either iirc.

[cinder axle]

I don't think I have a server that meets the CPU requirements either, though

My VPS reports itself as AMD EPYC 7282 16-Core Processor but I imagine that's the physical hardware

Why does it have such high requirements, anyway?

[quick mist]

because it's doing a lot of maths, and is an Unreal 5 game?

[fading quarry]

Server is running exact same calculations as the client and its a TON of calculations.

[cinder axle]

:concern:

[quick mist]

basically all the server doesn't do that the client does is graphics and sound

[fading quarry]

multiplied with the number of clients

[cinder axle]

That seems incredibly inefficient

[quick mist]

…that's how multiplayer game servers work, friend.

[cinder axle]

Why run the calculations on the client as well though

Seems like needlessly duplicated work

[small obsidian]

https://pastebin.com/dCer1irJ any Erros or something to say me taht ist obvious that "this server appears to be offline"?

[quick mist]

The client does calculations for stuff that doesn't matter to any of the other players, like ragdoll physics for chargers, graphical effects, and sound

[cinder axle]

Unless I misinterpreted this and you meant that the server just does the same things the client would do

[quick mist]

the server does everything that has to be consistent between all players

[fading quarry]

this is why games such as DreamWorld when they say have created a new revolutionary server technology people get hyped, just to find out no you wont be able to host 1m concurrent players since that technology does not exist.

[quick mist]

The server is the game. The client is the game's interface

[cinder axle]

What performance degradation can I expect when running on a server with 16GB total

Since afaict this is my only option

[quick mist]

That depends on many other factors including but not limited to the other server specifications

[cinder axle]

Steam multiplayer doesn't work, no matter if my friend hosts or I host
(not host as in dedicated server though)

[cinder axle]

It's a VPS, not a dedi

I'm not made of money lol

[quick mist]

I host on a VPS and it runs perfectly fine

[cinder axle]

Oh it just.
Engine crash handling finished; re-raising signal 11 for the default handler. Good bye.

It just segfaults.

Unhandled Exception: SIGSEGV: invalid attempt to read memory at address 0x0000000000000000 wellthat'sgreat

[cinder axle]

Oh, I had the ssh port forward still open

Kind of weird that it segfaults if it can't claim the port thogh

[fading quarry]

16GB with streaming turned on will suffice for a long time.

[quick mist]

that's not what usually happens if it can't bind to the port TBH

[cinder axle]

'Streaming turned on'?

[cinder axle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

that's what happened

[quick mist]

not saying it didn't happen

saying it's unusual that it did.

[cinder axle]

ah

[cinder axle]

I'm not sure what you mean by this

[fading quarry]

Its on by default so don't think about it, its a performance thing one can turn off to keep all objects in memory at all time on the server.

[fleet pier]

until you got a new pc?

[cinder axle]

Oh, it's a Satisfactory thing

[fading quarry]

I built a new host specifically for SF dedicated server yes with Ryzen 9 7900X, 64GB DDR5 @ 5600Mhz and Nvme storage. (And i only use a 3900X in my gaming pc lol)

[small obsidian]

pls help 🥲

[2024.09.15-08.05.22:843][322]LogTemp: Error: CliffPillar_03 mesh has no CPU acces, won't work with grass generation is this bad

[quick mist]

that's probably fine, the server throws tons of warnings.

[cinder axle]

if only I could selfhost

[quick mist]

y.. yeah that'd probably do

[cinder axle]

...Are you... supposed to start with equipment?

[quick mist]

yes, dedicated servers start at Tier 2

[cinder axle]

How do you not do that.

[quick mist]

this is not a bug, it's by desgin

[cinder axle]

Well I don't want it to happen

[dim mountain]

what kind of beast are you running

[cinder axle]

How do I make it not happen

[fading quarry]

then your out of luck

[cinder axle]

...

[quick mist]

and I want a winning powerball ticket

[cinder axle]

Why do they start at t2 anyway

[quick mist]

because that's how it's designed

[fading quarry]

since the deve wanted it that way

[dim mountain]

start a game selfhosted, then upload the file to the server later

[cinder axle]

Is it possible to copy ov-

[fading quarry]

they are looking into changing that

[dim mountain]

thats how I did it

[cinder axle]

Yeah, exactly

How would I do that?

[quick mist]

yes, the Server Manager has save upload/download functionality

[cinder axle]

Oh, you can just do it in the manager?

Neat

[dim mountain]

start a game locally, play it then under server manager "upload"

[cinder axle]

Thanks

[quick mist]

o/

[zealous tide]

So, odd situation, playing on a hosted server, anyone run into an issue where ALL the vegetation has respawned? I can clear it again piece by piece manually but not with the chainsaw (and I don't get more resources). It's not a crisis but makes it much harder to know where to get real biomass 😄

I restarted the server just in case

[quick mist]

that used to happen with older versions but was fixed.. I hope that bug hasn't come back o.O

[zealous tide]

I'm on 1.0

[quick mist]

I rather suspected as much, yes

[cinder axle]

It's a shame Steam multiplayer doesn't work

My game is set so that friends can join freely but alas

[quick mist]

peer-to-peer works fine, you just can't rely in Friends integration on Dedicated servers

[cinder axle]

it... doesn't, work fine
there's no option

[fading quarry]

You did not by accident re-spawn the foliage using SCIM? Also was this a save from before 1.0?

[zealous tide]

I don't believe so. I don't know how to use SCIM, and yeah, fresh wipe

I'm only into Tier 3 and I don't care so much for my starting position so it's not a crisis if I have to restart

[empty narwhal]

Okay really weird glitch just happened to me. My client crashed and upon restarting and joining back in the server, my player model shows offline and I respawned in the hub. All of my items are still on that body and I'm unsure how to get it back. Has anyone else had this issue?

[quick mist]

that sometimes happens if the server doesn't realize you've disconnected yet. You can disconnect again and wait a bit, or perform some percussinve maintenance on your former self to extract your inventory

Xeno-Bashers work well

[fading quarry]

Quite common unfortunately during client crash, I dont remember the best way to avoid being given a new player model, but there was a way to avoid this as this was a big problem in u7

[cinder axle]

:/ it still says Tier 2 even after uploading a save.

[empty narwhal]

ooooh I didn't realize I could kill my old body!!!

[quick mist]

servers will always start at tier 2

always

all

ways

[cinder axle]

Yes but I uploaded a local save

[empty narwhal]

THANKS!

[quick mist]

and starting it on a server starts it at tier 2

[cinder axle]

Oh.

:/

So since dedicated servers are Tier 2 always...

How do I get Steam Multiplayer to work?

I have it set like this

But there is no option?

And the same happens when my friend hosts, there is no option for me to join.

[flint locust]

So when starting a regular game with a friend. Once we are directed to build a hub, can we upload that save onto a server and continue from there or will it build the upgraded hub instead of barebones? Just wondering when it will be the best time to continue from server

[quick mist]

Once the host has the game running, they can get their Session ID from Multiplayer Settings and share it with you. You can use that to join regardless of who is on Steam or Epic or both

[cinder axle]

Oh you have to share Session ID

OK we got it now :D

tyvm

[quick mist]

cheers

once you've played through starting T2, you can upload that save to the server to keep it going in the dedicated server (:

[flint locust]

Sweet. Thanks!

[quick mist]

happy to've helped!

[fading quarry]

and tbf completing upgrading the hub is story mode so i kinda see why the devs made dedicated start at t2

[bleak token]

I'm a ‘friend’ of the owner of the host, so he's agreed to put it on my host. thank you for your help.

[unreal flume]

I have my server running in Docker (managed with portainer) using Wolveix's docker compose setup. I'm seeing an "Unhealthy" Status on that container and that showed up around the time I started having trouble dismantling stuff. I'd try to delete something or place something and it wouldn't always delete or place. Not sure if it's related, but I'm not sure what to do to fix this.

This is running on a local home server that I'm connecting to over gigabit LAN

[quick mist]

Do you have any information about what "Unhealthy" means to Portainer?

high CPU load? Low free RAM? Disk I/O Wait issues? Sunspots?

[unreal flume]

uh... not sure. I've given the container 8-16GB memory. The only significant warning I see in the log is "Warning: New/Old Root size mismatch!" Saves are still sub 1 second. This docker container is running on an Ubuntu Server VM that has 32GB memory and a 256GB VirtIO disk located on a mirrored NVMe vdev in a ZFS pool. The Ubuntu Server itself is running fine. It's one of three VM's I have on my Proxmox home server.

well, I backed up my latest save and re-pulled/deployed the stack. It's looking healthy now.

[quick mist]

well that's good at least. All I know about Portainer is that apperently there's a thing that exists called "Portainer"

[unreal flume]

oh.. .guess I can't link it. Just google Portainer. I'm using just the most basic functionality, but it has a ton of features.
It effectively gives you a webui to manage your docker containers.

[glad sparrow]

Hey all ! Can you help me with a problem I have setting up my dedicated server ? I had an issue where my server was only reachable in local. I solved it by forcing IPv4 through an argument and I was able to reach the server remotely but only through the server manager. I get the envryption token error when trying to join the server directly. I'm using Epic to launch the server. Thanks for your help

[upper pollen]

whats the directory for blueprints on a linux dedicatgeed

[fading quarry]

if your running Wolveix' docker its in ./config/saved/blueprints/<name of server>/

[upper pollen]

ah maybe i need to create one in the dedicated for the dir to show TY btw

[granite crystal]

When will they fix the server that goes offline after logging out?

[cosmic arch]

Portainer just uses docker. Did you check the docker logs on the host?

ah right

just saw you name xD

[sturdy gust]

Yes, the game server disregards it, hence all of the comments in here about the shutdown "interval" actually being a time, seemingly in UTC

[cosmic arch]

Thats weird as hell.

[sturdy gust]

Yeah

[cosmic arch]

Are you using json or a normal log file for the logcreation?

[sturdy gust]

The healthy status check pings the API's endpoint

[sturdy gust]

The logs are direct from the game, the container does not handle/manipulate them whatsoever

[cosmic arch]

Ah were you designing something on the blueprint designer? Or what were you doing to get it unhealthy?

[sturdy gust]

Though notably, not for everyone 😉 Seems like a weird bug

[sturdy gust]

????

[cosmic arch]

Ah xD

nah I am confused

[sturdy gust]

I was replying to other messages

[cosmic arch]

ah

dont mind me I am just waking up right now -.-

I also have issues on my server in docker (Wolveix's) with dismantling stuff, I have some walls which I cannot dismantle anymore and when i try to copy (MMB) the wall it does not copy a wall but it changes into a power line

[snow briar]

everytime i try to join my friends server i get the connection has been lost message PLS HELP AAAA

it worked perfectly fine yesterday

[spark sinew]

anyone experiencing server crash while trying to interact/build railroads?

trying to narrow down issue to the root cause

[fervent trail]

hey guys, can I have recommendation on a good service for servers?

I live in Asia but I want to host a UK/Ireland server for my friends there

[torn harness]

hello, im trying to set up a server with shockbyte, when i put the ip into satisfactory im stuck on this screeen, am i missing somthing ?

[shrewd stirrup]

It seems like you need to specify the rest of the path to steamcmd. You've entered the path to folder, but the pass to executable is required instead

[north pulsar]

Please can someone assist, my friend created a server, opened the ports on the router and firewall with 7777 and all that, server works for him and hes able to join, but when I add his internet IP it says offline. What am I doing wrong? Im not sure how to join.

[fading quarry]

make sure he forwarded both TCP and UDP

[north pulsar]

I appologize, he was an idiot and was sending the wrong ip. Again i am so sorry!

[fading quarry]

np, have fun!

[dense vapor]

do servers stop ticking when nobody is logged on

[fading quarry]

depends, if server is set to pause then yes.

[dense vapor]

ty

[eternal bone]

server is working fine but when i leave the game and go back to main menu it's closing down the server even with my friend still online, any suggestions

[patent cedar]

Make a backup save strip the character person that causes it when they place and try deleting that persons data with satisfactory calc

[tired ether]

Any suggestions on server hosting services for satisfactory?

[uncut hawk]

how to increase ticket rate on the server, mine is only running 10 right now

does anyone knows what this is

[unreal dawn]

i've been using sparkedhost

[silver orbit]

I am not sure if you got an answer, but they are in the same location as the saves

[silver orbit]

you have the wrong IP and port or you didnt start the server.

[silver orbit]

shockbyte.com/billing/knowledgebase/457/How-to-Setup-Your-Satisfactory-Server.html

[silver orbit]

where do you see the tick amount ?

[uncut hawk]

inside the server

[silver orbit]

do I have to climb there or? lol no seriously I havent seen that yet so you mean the console or ?

[unreal dawn]

in the server manager

my network quality keeps changing to ultra for some reason

[spark sinew]

thanks ^^

[past trail]

anyway to stop the server from shutting down and or stopping after the last person leaves. Under server settings "Auto Pause" is turned off but the server still stops after last person leaves

[silver orbit]

if you have auto pause off it should continue

unless you changed it after everyone was already off

then someone has to connect and exit

then in server manager you should see the timer ticking, sometimes it takes a minute before th timer starts

[past trail]

hey yea, this is what shows up in the log after the last person gos offline https://prnt.sc/OOE-XIjoBI35

[silver orbit]

What about in server manager in the game

does the timer tick?

[solid mist]

Hello my friend is trying to join my dedicated server (windows via steamcmd) but he runs into this network error, i port-forwarded port 7777 in my router settings for both tcp and udp also in my firewall settings

my question: does he also need to add port 7777 in his firewall or is it another issue?

[silver orbit]

no he doesnt only you do.

When does he see that ?

[solid mist]

he tried this via the join game

[past trail]

this is what happens when i join and then leave https://medal.tv/games/satisfactory/clips/iGvFrspo07CyR-_gL/d1337TpTL9xP?invite=cr-MSxZclosMTAzMjkyOTEs

[silver orbit]

I assume he added the server in server manager and it showws up and has the join button ?

[solid mist]

i also told him to try via server manager but it hasn't worked, it says the server is offline

[rigid haven]

ya i have this exact same issue

[silver orbit]

ok then your port forward isnt working or firewall isnt configured properly

[rigid haven]

the server is up and running and port forwarded but it will not show to people outside

[silver orbit]

are you hosting on the same computer you are playing on ?

[sonic tusk]

same, there is already a thread on the forum

[silver orbit]

Did you give the person your IP from somwhere like whatsmyIP.com ?

[rigid haven]

yes

[past trail]

no, when i try and join by ip and port i get https://prnt.sc/Mji2uT_zHubk

[rigid haven]

and i opened other ports to see if that might be the problem

[sonic tusk]

this is the thread: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e08561772a987f4a8a9d67

[rigid haven]

it was ?

[silver orbit]

no

I am waking up sorry

[rigid haven]

all good

but to add on im hosting a proxmox vm

[past trail]

i will take a read of that thank you.

[sonic tusk]

tldr there isnt a real solution rn sadly

[silver orbit]

yea, most of the time it happens if you host on the same machine you play from

but there are times where it happens like you situation. AFAIK there isnt a solution

[silver orbit]

I think there are some special things you have to do with Proxmox

[rigid haven]

oh ?

[silver orbit]

try this
#1284813963133194341 message

Actuall this might be more relevant @rigid haven
#dedicated-servers message

[rigid haven]

oh that did happen but its on host now

[silver orbit]

and it is showing offline for people outside your network ?

[hidden forge]

proxmox container/LXC works without anything special. Proxmox VM change CPU Type

[scenic temple]

Not sure if this is the right channel to post this in, but anyone else having issues where catwalk pieces wont destroy while playing multi-player on a dedicated server? Only seems to be impacting catwalk pieces. You destroy them, but they don't go away. Yet if you try to walk on them you fall through as if they were not there.

[past trail]

how does one get the session id ?

[silver orbit]

have you tried restarting the server ?

[silver orbit]

probably in the server console where you launch the server from

[past trail]

i think i see whats going on, after reading that post. Im joining the server under Server manager. Making me "Admin" as soon as i leave its killing the server. But if i now try and use join game and entering the ip i get Encrytion Token Missing. know anything about that at all ?

[scenic temple]

Will try that now and report back.

[rigid haven]

no luck

[gloomy oracle]

I have the 'wolveix/satisfactory-server' docker container running and I'm getting disconnected every hour:
Error: UEngine::BroadcastNetworkFailure: FailureType = ConnectionTimeout, ErrorString = UNetConnection::Tick: Connection TIMED OUT. Closing connection
The other players are having issues when removing foudations that they have to log off and log in again to see them disappear. It might be related
I can see previouis people have had the same issue, but I can't find replies for fixes

[silver orbit]

not sure on that one have a SS of that ?

[past trail]

https://prnt.sc/DGbg4Be0W3w9

[silver orbit]

that is a new one on me. Do you have the Player password set ?

or just admin password

[past trail]

just an admin password

[silver orbit]

try removing the server from Server manager and then close the game, then reopen, then add the server but dont authenticate with the admin password, then join and leave see if the same thing happens

[past trail]

alright will try that

[silver orbit]

People outside you network cant get to it correct ?

[rigid haven]

yep

if i use the 192.168 no worries

[silver orbit]

You gave them your ip from whatsmyip.com ?

[rigid haven]

actually also whenever i use my ip address or my domain name in the browser that also doesnt work

also whenever i use my own ip on server manager i should see it as well correct ?

[silver orbit]

yea since your on the same network you have to use the LAN IP which is the 192.168 IP

[rigid haven]

gotcha but ya ive used my ip and the domain i have tied to it as well

my other 3 servers work its just satisfactory that gives me trouble

[silver orbit]

your domain points to the public IP?

[rigid haven]

yep

i use it with my tarkov server all the time

[silver orbit]

ok it sounds like the portforward isnt working

[past trail]

Alright show it shows me as a client not admin, join the server then leave and it still gos offline as soon as i try and join again.

[rigid haven]

its weird that the port forwarding works for the other servers but not factory

[silver orbit]

weird, might have to submit or find the reported bug for that and see if CSS is fixing it

[silver orbit]

yea, you just did 7777 for TCP and UDP and also did on the Firewall for proxmox ?

[spare narwhal]

so i have got it to work, no more errors but i still cant connect to the server

[rigid haven]

yep

ive got photos as well if you wanna see

[silver orbit]

Did you open the 7777 ports in firewall for TCP and UDP

[silver orbit]

DM me the domain and port I will try

[spare narwhal]

iv set it in the server settings, do i have to also set it in the OS?

[dense dirge]

Does anyone else has problems with server api?

cant claim my server

[royal warren]

if your OS has a firewall with a default rule preventing access to ports, then yes, you must op the ports there in addition to any port forwarding

[silver orbit]

your using the API to claim ?

[peak wedge]

Anyone else noticing an issue where changing the colors of power poles doesn't work?

I can change the colors of everything else but the big masts and the regular ones will highlight in the new color, but not apply it when I click.

(Please ping when responding)

[lofty lantern]

Hi I opened port open the 7777 ports in firewall for TCP and UDP. I have 2 computers on my network One works no problem to connect to my dedicated server but the other is getting: failed to connect to the server api

I see alot of post on this but does anyone have the magic solution.

I did the following on the computer with the issue to alow port 7777 to pass thru windows firewall to no avail

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound port udp" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 7777
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound port tcp" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 7777

[reef gull]

Check if it is a firewall issue by using Test-NetConnection.

tnc <Hostname/IP> -Port 7777

[hollow jewel]

are the different computers connected on different subnets, through a secondary router for example? that can cause some fuckyness in routing, where not everyone can reach each other

[reef gull]

Also going to https://<Hostname-IP>:7777 will hit the API

[lofty lantern]

Yeah I tested the port and it has access from the system that is faulty

[lofty lantern]

Yes they are on the same subnet, switch and router

[hollow jewel]

Disable all the firewalls

[lofty lantern]

Tried that too..

On the verge to throw the computer out the window

[hollow jewel]

so the problematic computer can reach the server (for example with https://<ip>:7777), but they can not connect to the server with firewalls disabled?

Impressive

[lofty lantern]

Le me see for the https

I get this

{
"errorCode": "errors.com.epicgames.httpserver.route_handler_not_found",
"errorMessage": ""
}

from the problematic computer

[hollow jewel]

so the networking is fine
that leaves firewalls and the game itself

[lofty lantern]

Yeah it works from one computer so the firewall is working.

[hollow jewel]

the good computer is still connected to the server, right? just to confirm the server is still alive and well

[lofty lantern]

testing... Please wait 😄

[hollow jewel]

windows firewall on the problematic computer could also be a thing

[sturdy gust]

Sounds like it's solely an issue on the problematic computer's side

[robust abyss]

Quick question, if you have a dedicated server setup do things continue manufacturing when no one is connected? Or is that a setting I can change?

[hollow jewel]

theres a config option for that, I believe its something with "pause" in the name

[solid mist]

i give him my public ipv4:7777 right?

[silver orbit]

yes

[past trail]

yep im lost now. lol no matter what i do as soon as anyone leaves the server closes without any error or crash log even tho the console is still open with accepting connection :/

[hollow jewel]

known bug

[past trail]

this is the first time ever ive got this

[hollow jewel]

seen a few people complain about it in here, some speculation that it's about hosting the server on the same machine as the player that disconnects

[past trail]

yea im not doing that its on a DS

[robust abyss]

Is it mAutoPause? I have that set to False

[restive sun]

anyone else encounter a random crash upon joining their dedi and when joining back a new character was created. I had to kill my old sleeping body for my stuff back.

[solid mist]

it now says in server manager 'server name pending, not authenticated'

[outer fossil]

Then things will continue running

[robust abyss]

OK that is what I was thinking but it does not appear to have done that. I will try and see if it does it again when i disconnect

Thanks

[outer fossil]

It's called "auto pause on player disconnect" or something

[robust abyss]

In the serversettings.ini?

[outer fossil]

Nenonene

Ingame

Lol

In game, hit escape, server settings, and then auto pause

[robust abyss]

Oh!!! Gotcha, thanks!

[outer fossil]

Cheers

[robust abyss]

That was it, I tyhink I got it now

[tired ether]

I was previously hosting a dedicated server on my PC but now want to upload that save to shockbyte. Where do I find the save that was on my PC?

[ornate grotto]

Check out the Wiki in the channel description, it's listed in there from client to server, just reverse the process

[deep turret]

hi did you used multiinstance setup ?

[sacred dragon]

Anyone who has experienced worse performance than U8?

We’re running on a 200$/m azure VPS atm

[hollow jewel]

did you win the lottery recently? sheesh

[sacred dragon]

We’re using free credits, don’t worry 😂

But the game is still unplayable at moments

[nimble pine]

guys anyone know a solution ? my firends can connect

[viscid reef]

same here 🙂 however I started using one of the basic vm configurations. we are 3 players and the game is playable for some time but as soon as you have 2 players in more complex factories (Phase 2 + split up bases) performance is very erratic currently. no problem whatsoever when we take that same save and host it on our PC and let others connect

[sacred dragon]

Exactly the same here, we’re currently working on computer factories

Combat is horrible as well

[viscid reef]

yep 😦

[sacred dragon]

We tried to host a really expensive server to just see if it would fix the problem,but no

[outer fossil]

then performance is not your issue

generally, cloud servers may not be designed to be optimised for udp, or may be far away from where you are playing

[deep turret]

what kind of expensive server did you take ? because if for instance you took an epyc 128thread server
this will be expensive AND shit for hosting games

[outer fossil]

try hosting it on your own pc, just to see if its better

[sacred dragon]

We were thinking the same - we did take the recommended compute Unit regarding gamehosting

[outer fossil]

actually not. epyc servers are quite amazing for server hosting, and i have many of them doing just that

[glacial kestrel]

hey, i can use server only into tcp?

or i need udp too?

[outer fossil]

you need udp

[sacred dragon]

We were having the same issues on my local server, which is why we tranfered it

[outer fossil]

now thats very interesting.

[deep turret]

not the high thread count ones, and especially not for satisfactory servers

[outer fossil]

yes the high thread count ones

and yes for hosting satisfactory servers

[viscid reef]

are you talking of azure vm or another hosting service?

[outer fossil]

my own servers...

[viscid reef]

ah ok

[sacred dragon]

But yours are running fine?

After you get past the basic factories

[outer fossil]

yes

i have a massive factory too

whats your server tickrate?

thats somethnig to check

you can see it on the main menu

[viscid reef]

for me that's average around 30. currently 29

[sacred dragon]

The ping?

Was around 80

[viscid reef]

tick rate can be checked in the server manager, then Status tab

[outer fossil]

no

the tick rate

[viscid reef]

so around 30 should be ok?

[deep turret]

#dedicated-servers message didnt get answer yet

[sacred dragon]

I can check when I get home

My buddy told me it’s 30 atm

[fleet cave]

Are the old bugs for dedicated servers fixed? I know when I played a few months back, driving vehicles would cause you to disconnect, and you'd log back in to find a clone of yourself, leading to more issues.

[heavy furnace]

Yep, at first I thought it was because in U8 I had the server running natively in my hardware and with 1.0 I was using proxmox. I went back to native in the same hardware as in U8 but same perfomance issues as in proxmox... So apparently virtualization was not the issue I would say.

With U8: Ping <1ms, AVG Tick rate around 30.
With 1.0: Ping avg around 20-30. Peaks to 100-200ms a lot of times, and reaches like >500ms frequently. AVG tick rate between 20-30. I avoid combat and limit the usage of vehicles because of this.

For us, the massive downgrade comes with more than one player is connected, and becomes a huge issue when we are far away in the map.

[foggy belfry]

Hey all. I am trying to run the server through Docker on an ARM machine. I am using the image i found here https://github.com/TeriyakiGod/steamcmd-docker-arm64 so that I can do it since I heard arm64 is not supported by default. after running the dockerfile and having steamcmd open, i run the install comand found on the wiki but it tells me that the command doesn't exist. does anyone know what might be happening/what I SHOULD be running?

Command not found: steamcmd```

[outer fossil]

arm is not supported

[grim dew]

Do I have to buy satisfactory TWICE to run it on a server?!

[thorny dew]

Docs seem to suggest you don't need to use steamcmd as a command

[atomic patio]

No

[ornate grotto]

No, use the EXE file or SteamCMD

[grim dew]

So what. On client use steam to open Satisfactory? Or on server?

[outer fossil]

@grim dew check pins to see how to run it with steamcmd. i made a video.

[grim dew]

Which side are we talking on.

[thorny dew]

On the server side

[atomic patio]

I'm running on Pterodactyl Panel running on a VM in Proxmox and I'm not having issues like you say

[thorny dew]

Steam client can get wacky with server tools so it's best to just run the server executable directly

[outer fossil]

from what ive seen, yes. those have been patched

[thorny dew]

Or use SteamCMD like the others have suggested

[foggy belfry]

what should i be using as a command then?

[thorny dew]

Just the commands you need to use

[outer fossil]

30 is the default limit

[thorny dew]

Without specifying steamcmd

Probably

[atomic patio]

Start by looking up how to run a Satisfactory Dedicated Server with SteamCMD on youtube i think Senk0 said they made a video

[foggy belfry]

the dockerfile should be setting up the container to be emulating non-arm64 through a compatibility framework (idk if those are the correct terms, I don't understand half of this but looking at the forks someone used this repo for a satisfactory server so I am assuming it would work as long as I the user do the right things)

[thorny dew]

The git repo you're using even shows an example

See how it's just +login username password

[outer fossil]

was it even updated to work with the newest 1.0?

[thorny dew]

Rather than steamcmd +login username password

[heavy furnace]

mmm... Any idea on what could be wrong then? I should say that I was running an LCX container on proxmox, but whatsoever the issue apparently was not resolved either by deleting virtualization off of the equation.

[outer fossil]

what cpu

like

did you select in PM

[atomic patio]

Yea I'm thinking that is hardware limits screwing with you

[grim dew]

wtf so I need 3 instances of some sort of satisfactory to run the server?...

[atomic patio]

no

[thorny dew]

The client and the server, why would you need 3

[outer fossil]

you are very poor at following directions.

[grim dew]

I am lol

[heavy furnace]

i5 4th gen, I do not remember the name exactly, I think 4570. 16GB of ram...

In PM I set 4vCPUs and 14GB of ram

[foggy belfry]

Command not found: +force_install_dir```
running without steamcmd doesn't work either, ima go back and see what exactly the dockerfile is doing and what the person who forked for satis changed

[outer fossil]

there are two ways to run a server.

1: you run server and client on the same machine,
2: you have two seperate instances, one dedicated machine for the server, and your machine that you play from

Which do you want?

[grim dew]

I am bad at following the instructions, because I don't get WHY it has to be so complicated.

I have my client, and my VM ubuntu. Could I not just run the Factoryserver.exe on my VM through SteamCMD?

[foggy belfry]

they did some changes to make some stuff run on startup which i did not fork from since it didn't run when i ran the run command and i couldn't figure out what step was breaking

ill be back

hopefully not but knowing my luck 🤷

[frosty gale]

Making a server like minus all the bugs is extremely easy

[atomic patio]

your proxmox host machine has 16 gb of ram total?

[outer fossil]

follow the steamcmd portion of the video.

but run the commands on the ubuntu image

it should be that simple

[thorny dew]

Try just
force_install_dir ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer
login anonymous
app_update 1690800 validate
as separate commands

Since you're running them directly within steamcmd rather than passing them as args for steamcmd

[heavy furnace]

Yep. Other containers were using less than those remaining 2gb.

[outer fossil]

• is an addition flag, you should just be able to run it without the beginning +

[atomic patio]

You should leave at least 2 GB free for proxmox to use itself so it can handle all the virtualization background

[outer fossil]

yes but what cpu architechture did you select for emulation

[atomic patio]

^ Host or did you virtualize the CPU to a different CPU

[heavy furnace]

mmm, I do not remember, just go for default settings. But I think that is not a problem anymore, since I am not using proxmox right now.

[outer fossil]

so then whats your issue? im sorry, lot going on

[foggy belfry]

this worked (or at least is doing something), it seems to be installing rn?

ty for the help and advice

[heavy furnace]

haha, np. The issue is that I have the same perfomance issues when I was using proxmox. I thought that maybe it was an issue so I do a fresh install of Debian and run the server natively as I was doing in U8.

[atomic patio]

They had it running in a Promox LXC then took it off the LXC and tried running it on bare metal and it didn't fix their issue of low performance. I'm thinking their CPU just isn't capable of handling the server

[heavy furnace]

Exactly. But in U8 we did not have this problems, appart from known bugs for dedicated servers.

[outer fossil]

hmm

not sure

[heavy furnace]

Here it is a screenshot of htop output right now, with 1 player connected, in case you spot something weird @atomic patio @outer fossil

[thorny dew]

Screenshot of top rather than htop would be nicer 😉

[heavy furnace]

As you wish!

[thorny dew]

Not seeing anything out of the ordinary

[outer fossil]

using an entire core is very odd

[thorny dew]

I mean, it's a very old cpu

Not unusual

[outer fossil]

even still

my biggest factory does not even use 100mCPU on my old gen i7

[thorny dew]

Making a server for myself rn so I guess I'll check out CPU use on an empty world and see how that goes

[deep turret]

wdym
it will always maxout one thread on older cpu and or big save

[outer fossil]

what do logs look like @heavy furnace

[heavy furnace]

I know, maybe is just the 1.0 requirements went up... But I insist that I had not this issue in U8 with the very same hardware a couple of months ago!

[outer fossil]

yeah it doesnt seem like the issue is the hardware

again, im running a very similar cpu in one of my machines

[heavy furnace]

Where are they located?

[outer fossil]

are you running in docker?

[heavy furnace]

Nope, regular executing, just using systemd for automation

[outer fossil]

ah

hmm im not really sure

[thorny dew]

One thing I would check is CPU clocks and see if your CPU is actually boosting

There are some times on some distros where CPU boosting just doesn't happen by default

[deep turret]

systemctl status will show some of the logs
else use journalctl

journalctl -eu your-unit-name

[outer fossil]

yeah i just checked. i am running in proxmox, and in htop it shows 2% cpu usage on my 4th gen i7.

im not sure whats up with your instance @heavy furnace

[sullen tulip]

Hi, I'm starting my dedicated server for myself running windows & steam
So I just use the tool in steam for satisfactory dedicated server
In a coffeestain video in the past they should that the console will now use the UE console where you can also run commands and have e.g. suggestions and so on
but for me it runs just in a plain terminal 🤔
do I do something wrong?

[thorny dew]

Fresh world with no factory yet on a ryzen 7900

[deep turret]

that's idling

[outer fossil]

your shits borked

[outer fossil]

its not.

like, actually even being on the server

and playing on it

with all my machines running

[deep turret]

2% is not running

[outer fossil]

it is

2% for the factory process

[thorny dew]

2% is nothing for a game server lol

Only time I've seen that on any game server is when players are not on

[deep turret]

show a screen of that htop with cpu threads then

[heavy furnace]

I'm using Debian 12... My friend is right now connected (2 players right now). He tells me that as long as you do... Nothing? The server feels fine, just walking aroud. Build something, a nearby enemy, deleting something... That's the exact momment when latency spikes.

[thorny dew]

Would be a world first for me for a game server to only use 2% CPU with players online

Because even just the network thread would use quite a bit

Not much, but def more than 2%

[thorny dew]

CPU use when not on the server

Which is in line with expectations ig

[deep turret]

your just connected to an other server

[outer fossil]

no, its the same server

i shit you not

[deep turret]

that's idling

[outer fossil]

i dont run any other servers on this network

[deep turret]

5900X

[outer fossil]

and plus this server has logs

idk what to tell you

[deep turret]

idk what to tell you either

computers are not black magic

[thorny dew]

It's literally impossible to only have 2% use when you're running the server with sim calculations running

[outer fossil]

im currently running 300 satisfactory servers on a single cpu, and its fine so far

all in k8s

[deep turret]

in before

[outer fossil]

the 300 servers arent on my network, they are at my lab

[heavy furnace]

Appart from network logs (With my friends and I public addresses) I see like this warning every second, more than 10 times. May this be an issue?

[frosty gale]

why :blob:

[outer fossil]

i host a VPS for fun

[latent valley]

I have basically the same problem as @heavy furnace. I'm running the server via SteamCMD + Systemd service in a Ubuntu 24.04 LXC Container on my Proxmox host. Also got huge latency issues for no apparent reason.

[frosty gale]

That didn't really answer the question but ok

[outer fossil]

ppl pay for servers, i spin them up

[frosty gale]

You got 300 people to pay you

[outer fossil]

i have 4,800 ppl to pay me

😅

[frosty gale]

I should start charging for my services

[rich condor]

Hello, would the dedicated server runs flawless on an i3 12100 + 64gb ram for 3 players ?

[frosty gale]

Yea

[atomic patio]

Easily

[frosty gale]

The dedicated server would run on a 486 with 64mb of ram

[atomic patio]

i wouldn't take it that far

[rich condor]

Thanks guys, if I'm happy to be on holidays I can't wait to finally touch 1.0.

[sacred dragon]

Yeah that seems pretty relatable, more than one player, far away or during most combat

[deep turret]

can we stop the trolling there ?

[frosty gale]

Yea guys no more trolling

[atomic patio]

[topaz dew]

qq: the server seems to crash every once and a while now but resources don't seem that high.
I get this error message, anyone know the cause?

[heavy furnace]

So... Anything else to try with my issue?

[rich condor]

Maybe there is no answer but is there some requirement if more than four players are connected. I remind of alpha version where sometimes the game could become laggy when hosted by a player himself especially at the last stages of the game. I think we didn't play since the nuclear update.

[frosty gale]

Probably still like that

Still need to override player count manually

[thorny dew]

Prob just wait for dev optimization? Seems like satisfactory does like abusing a core right now

[frosty gale]

I think that's never going to change

[thorny dew]

Haven't even started on building factories and it's hovering around 25-30% with only me on the server

[foggy belfry]

ok, unrelated note: what would be the recomended specs for a pc to host a server for 1-2 players?

unrelated as in unrelated to my previous questions*

[frosty gale]

Probably same as 4 players

Unless like every player is going to a different biome to build their own factory

[thorny dew]

Wiki suggests relatively recent hw. Usually anything that can clock relatively high would be good

[foggy belfry]

would 16gb ram windows with an intel i5-8400 seem enough for 1-2 people?

[thorny dew]

I'd say maybe around a 6700k or something would be pretty good

[frosty gale]

Yes

[thorny dew]

Should be enough

[foggy belfry]

cool. next question: what is the load on a computer connecting to a server compared to running the save on the local machine

[thorny dew]

I'd aim for a K SKU intel chip just for that extra clock speed, but if you have a 8400 lying around then it should be fine

[heavy furnace]

Im trying to run the server in my pc just for testing, I'll come back with news then! 5950x and 64gb should have no issues...

[rich condor]

It's consuming a lot of what ? CPU or Ram ?

[stoic stream]

Just be like me and have a server room in your house, I mean duhh

[foggy belfry]

ive tried for the past 4 days to get using Oricle cloud free tier to work as a server, but its just not working. I have a laptop I just got for school (Lenovo Yoga 7 (intel)) and a desktop pc with the specs listed above

[thorny dew]

OCI is a hit or miss anyways

[stoic stream]

I'm kidding of course

[frosty gale]

Server is cpu game is probably more gpu

[thorny dew]

Great when it works

[cedar dirge]

Hello, does anyone have a tutorial to share please? to configure

[heavy furnace]

I would if it was not for every fcking manufacturer putting LED's all around its hardware, I need to cover the pc with a blanket hhaha

[atomic patio]

Yep I'm mine on a 6 core VM with 48 GB of my 128 Gb of RAM

[deep turret]

game is still cpu mainly

[frosty gale]

That desktop should still kill it

[foggy belfry]

the laptop only has integrated graphics but the PC is not in my dorm its at home so i was thinkin since OCI is not working to host on my PC and then run the game on my laptop

in that case the only question now is whether the laptop is good enough to run the game

[rich condor]

It's a good advice. I have a server room at home. I've waited 15y to buy a house and do that :))

[heavy furnace]

I am worried however of changing the enviroment, Debian 12 fresh vs W11... But whatever, I have anything else to try

[dusky wedge]

There’s a video in the pinned messages: #dedicated-servers message

[thorny dew]

I'd just host the server on the laptop tbh

[deep turret]

were you covering the pc with a blanket in update 8 ?

[frosty gale]

Hey I used to put a towel over my pc as well

[cedar dirge]

Thx ❤️

[heavy furnace]

No no, I mean, if I run the server on my personal PC I would have to do so in order to sleep hahahaha, in U8 it was running in a Lenovo M93p in the living room, as it is now

[minor granite]

How to fix Encryption Token Missing error in Satisfactory 1.0 ?

[deep turret]

fresh install the server

[dusky wedge]

Join via the server manager, not the join button

[stoic stream]

Server crashed again, what is happening here. Like it shows it's up, i don't know if it makes a difference if i show the output of the CMD prompt screen

[minor granite]

does not work with nitrado it's the 4th time we reinstall all

[minor granite]

it has done a bug with player duplication

[deep turret]

tell nitrado

[stoic stream]

Like i see t his:

But the server says offline

[minor granite]

we try to figure out with the support yes

[deep turret]

they just need to fresh install

[minor granite]

as i told you we have wipe 4 time the server and everytime the same error come back

Coffeestain can't make a patch ?

[deep turret]

"you" have wiped the server ?

on nitrado infrastructure

[minor granite]

BOTH nitrado and me

4 times

5th times the support try to fix this error

[deep turret]

curious they are fixing the 5th if it never got fixed

[minor granite]

something is wrong with the game, why is not working

[dusky wedge]

And? The duplication can happen when a client crashes and reconnects before their previous instance times out. Still need to connect via the server manager for dedicated server

[thorny dew]

I do wonder if anyone has found the root cause for the game showing a pretty high amount of latency to the server

[minor granite]

my friends got somehow kicked multiples times and duplicate is body

then we fresh wipe by nitrado the server lost the progress

since, we try to fix the problem but it's not working

i don't think nitrado will let a problem happen if they can themself fix it

[deep turret]

#dedicated-servers message

[minor granite]

it's from 1.0 we have multiple problem like that

[deep turret]

I mean at some point

stop using crystals to fix the servers nitrado

[deep turret]

the double character things was already on update 7

its when you reconnect to quickly

[minor granite]

crystals ?

[dusky wedge]

If there are stability or connection problems, you can raise those with their support. The “encryption token missing” happens when you try to join a dedicated server via the “Join” button rather than the “Server Manager”

[minor granite]

yes but i cannot give to all players access to server manager lol

[deep turret]

what ?

[dusky wedge]

No amount of reinstalling will change connecting via the wrong method

[minor granite]

what crystals

[deep turret]

there is literally only one way to connect to servers, and it's through server manager

[dusky wedge]

You can have different admin vs client passwords

[deep turret]

irony

[dusky wedge]

The server manager is how you connect to dedicated servers. The administration of dedicated servers is also done through that tab, but with a different password

[minor granite]

look i haven't slept if the night i am tired, sick and now i have 20 players waiting to play sorry for the ironic misunderstanding but i am on trying to figure out how to fix my problem on official discord ^^

i will give then access via server manager and pray for a fix soon

[frosty gale]

There is no fix

What

[deep turret]

except your primary outlet is nitrado as you are paying them, and that there is a security encryption problem fixed by fresh install easily
and that you are insisting and saying that it's coffe stain the problem while refusing to follow the USE instructions of dedicated server, which is connecting from server manager

[frosty gale]

What they actually have is a branding problem

Too many people think server manager is for only the owner

[deep turret]

server manager is named server manager, because its where you manage your server connections

[deep turret]

it's just a server owner bias, other people would not get that bias

[minor granite]

that's the problem of the game, making things clear for players is maybe the first thing you need to do when you release a game

[thorny dew]

Server manager sounds like a tool to manage servers. Have had to explain to some folks that server manager is where they should be going lol

Also the fact that the button is not where the main game buttons are

And is smaller

[minor granite]

ihaven't got problems like that's many others games i have manage

you have 2 tab with join a server,

[deep turret]

how many of these games were new games ?

[minor granite]

make it clear, on it : join a friend server or join dedicated server

[thorny dew]

If it worked for Minecraft, I don't see why you wouldn't do the same

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[minor granite]

it's easy

[thorny dew]

Just label a tab "Multiplayer"

Then either join a friend or a server

[round island]

Hello, I want to import a Blueprint to my Server, but I cant find the folder for it. Did I do something wrong ?

[dusky wedge]

The UX could be improved, no counter argument here.

[deep turret]

minecraft have had a lot of problem in doing completly wonky workarounds, like allowing you to get the public address by entering the local address

[thorny dew]

That's not what we're talking about though

[minor granite]

7 days to die / scum / ark / PZ / i can go on i manage server for communuty since years

[thorny dew]

We're talking about how easy it is to find the right place to connect to servers in the first place

[minor granite]

there is no confusion with admin panel and folk gamer joining a server

[dusky wedge]

How are you running the server? (Eg docker, steamcmd, etc) and OS?

[thorny dew]

"Server Browser" or "Multiplayer" are both much better ways to present it

[round island]

With Steam CMD and linux

[minor granite]

Some gamers are not well experiment to connect via server manager and we spent hours to explain them how to do that they waste their game time

we lost the entire weekend with that

[thorny dew]

"Join Game" doesn't even let you join servers 😂

[deep turret]

then it's in ~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/

with the server user

[minor granite]

they are not happy about that because tomorrow they will back work with no playing their game

[topaz scarab]

it's all in the wiki, yknow

should've read the wiki

[round island]

what do mean with that?

[deep turret]

people complaining that there are longterm design problems on joining servers, while servers have been officially there since AT LEAST .. 🥁 .. 5 days !

[dusky wedge]

In the home directory of the Linux user running the steamcmd command

[thorny dew]

I'd say making it easier for friends to play together is a pretty big item on the agenda

[deep turret]

there are multiple linux users on one machine, and ~/ is a link depending on user (user home), so it's the one the server run with

[deep turret]

I didnt see people complain about the multiplayer menu bein used to join friends games

[thorny dew]

Because that's the right label for it

You're playing Multiplayer

lol

[deep turret]

that's the point

so go on

[thorny dew]

Yeah now what's "Server Manager" for when you have "Join Game"?

[dusky wedge]

The people in this channel are certainly predisposed to using dedicated servers, but I’d be curious to see how their use stacks up to solo or joining a non dedicated server

[steel sail]

Hey my friend is unable to join my self hosted server. The server appears offline on his side.
Port 7777 is redirected on tcp and udp.
The server is from Epic but he plays on steam. his account is linked.

Does someone have an idea of why it doesn't work ?

[frosty gale]

hi, can try somebody to join my dedicated server? to see if it works. only I can join from server manager, I can't join from join game directly

[round island]

I dont really understand it. its my first time using linux and ther is a Satisfactory user but there I cant find the folder.

[dusky wedge]

Have him put https://<insert server address here >:7777 in their web browser (with the server IP filled in). If he gets a certificate warning, something with the game. If it times out, the ports aren’t forwarded

[thorny dew]

My problem really is just that there's 2 separate tabs for joining others and playing the game as a multiplayer experience. It confuses first-timers for no reason

[dusky wedge]

That’s correct, the join button only works for joining someone else’s solo game. The server manager is how you connect to dedicated servers

[frosty gale]

You're not supposed to be able yo join from join game

[thorny dew]

Like, right here lol

[dusky wedge]

I absolutely agree, but if only a small percentage of players actually interact with dedicated servers, it may not be as high of a priority as we’d like

[frosty gale]

ok, thanks, can somebody try to join please?, sorry for my english

[steel sail]

time out ... this is wierd. How can i verify if the ports are forwarded ? because it was working before 1.0 and i haven't changed anything since (except adding tcp protocol)

[frosty gale]

If you really want there's an argument you can add to ignore valid tokens and let other players use the join game button

[round island]

?

[frosty gale]

Canyouseeme.org

Only checks tcp but it will do something ag least

[deep turret]

then do cat /etc/passwd | grep atisfactory | sed -E 's2.*:([^:]*):.*2\12'

[steel sail]

it checks my routers ip, but not the ip of my machine

[bold stone]

Wdym satisfactory user I just made a FactoryServer folder spun up steam cmd and ran the shell script

[bold stone]

Google what is my ip

[steel sail]

i know my ip

[bold stone]

Tho tbh I’m only running a local ip

[bold stone]

The internet facing one or the internal one that starts with 192.168.1.x

[thorny dew]

open up command prompt and use ipconfig

[frosty gale]

Is your server on your network?

[thorny dew]

Depends on the OS

[thorny dew]

This is for windows 🙂

[dusky wedge]

At the risk of sounding flippant, trying to connect is the method of testing the port forwards. Until they can hit that endpoint and get a cert error, the traffic isn’t being forwarded

[steel sail]

both, what IP should mty friend use ?

[frosty gale]

Like you need to check your public ip if you're trying to see if port forwarding is working

[thorny dew]

Router ip

[frosty gale]

Your local ip only works locally

[bold stone]

The public one

[thorny dew]

They'll have to use that if they're not in your local net

[round island]

Thank you for your help

[deep turret]

then the satisfcatory server user is the user you log in
that's the user runnning the server

[bold stone]

The local ip will only work inside your houses WiFi

So just my user

Cool

[heavy furnace]

Hi there, huge improvement. Vehicles still seem a bit laggy sometimes... avg latency 15-20ms, despite of being in the same network (Normal ping takes less that 1ms!) seem playable... But I feel like 5950x and 64 gb is way overkill

[bold stone]

Linux setup was ez server has no complaints yet

[deep turret]

running as your own user is not the best thing to do, but ofcourse it works

[thorny dew]

Yeah I'm seeing quite a bit higher latency than it should be

Nothing to do but wait I guess

[frosty gale]

How much higher

[thorny dew]

Server => Local machine is 10ms, Satisfactory says 30-40ms

[bold stone]

Well I’m only using it as a server for my twin who’s on the same network so I’m fine

[deep turret]

that's not everyone situation

[proper abyss]

How can i get someone to joib my server?

[deep turret]

dont forget the original topic

[proper abyss]

ITs not working for my friend

[heavy furnace]

In my case right now, my server is my local machine as well, that the surprising point

[bold stone]

Does your ip start with 192.168.1.x

[proper abyss]

Yes

[frosty gale]

That's not bad at all

[bold stone]

That’s the wrong one

[thorny dew]

Yeah, there seems to just be a random 20ms latency on top lol

[proper abyss]

what do i do

[bold stone]

Google what is my ip

[frosty gale]

is there anybody can try to join my dedicated server to comprobate if it works?, thx

[steel sail]

@bold stone @thorny dew @frosty gale thx for your help. You made me redo my port forwarding and double check what my friend was using to join, and it looks like there was a problem on both. Thank you it works !

[bold stone]

And then put :7777 at the end

[bold stone]

Np

[thorny dew]

W

[thorny dew]

It's a bit of a problem when there's a difference of 3-4x of what the actual network latency is

[proper abyss]

ty

[deep turret]

@round island so you found the home then ?

[thorny dew]

Not really a big deal since satisfactory isn't really that reliant on low latency, but it's quite annoying to see

[deep turret]

remember that api latency != game latency

this is first public release of the api

[round island]

yeah the problem was actually that the .config folder was hidden

[proper abyss]

@bold stone its still not working

[heavy furnace]

For me is not an issue really, but it is the only measurement I can take from within the game... and it matches when that latency spikes when I get perfomance issues.

[proper abyss]

You HAVE to put :7777 at the end of the address?

[deep turret]

so the command I sent you gave you the right directory ?

[dusky wedge]

If they, e.g., handle the networking requests at the beginning or end of a server tick, then you’d not see a latency much lower than the tick interval (1 s / 30 ticks/sec = ~33ms/tick)

[thorny dew]

Considering the game is supposed to be in a public release state, it's a bit iffy for me. But yeah it's not a deal-breaker regardless

[thorny dew]

I thought that at first but wyzed is seeing about 20ms

[frosty gale]

The game is absolutely no where near done

[proper abyss]

@bold stone

[frosty gale]

This is just the final big update for now

[thorny dew]

So it instantly breaks that theory

[heavy furnace]

My friend is seeing around 20ms as well, he is not in my local network

[frosty gale]

It's really not a big deal

[thorny dew]

It's not, but it's a fun discussion

[round island]

I didet actually test it, beacause i found it wihtout it

[bold stone]

Did you port forward the port 7777

[frosty gale]

I see 80ms and I'm 150 miles from my server

[thorny dew]

Yeah it's a bit weird

[proper abyss]

Yes the port is 7777

[deep turret]

ok, I was worrying you would think it's a dangerous command, I can explain it if you want me to

[dusky wedge]

If you were to choose a time randomly in the interval, the expected wait time for a response would be 1/2 the tick length. So 20-30 is not unexpected to me

[thorny dew]

Can you measure your latency from the server to your local machine?

[bold stone]

Did you forward it on your router

[bold stone]

Just ping it

[thorny dew]

That does seem a lot more plausible

[proper abyss]

Yeah i did a bunch of stuff it works for me

[frosty gale]

I can't at the moment as I'm now like 2 miles from my server

[thorny dew]

I'm asking gaymer to do that lol

I know how to ping a server

[bold stone]

Lemme ping my server see what I get

[thorny dew]

But also you have to consider that up and downstream routes are generally not identical

[bold stone]

True

[heavy furnace]

just a final shot, would you think that the server SO can make a perfomance impact?

[thorny dew]

When not in a LAN

[heavy furnace]

W11 vs any Linux distro

[round island]

yeah pleas explain it

[thorny dew]

It depends. Someone would have to run an A/B test for satisfactory

[bold stone]

Depends on how much is running at the time

Like I have a Linux server just hosting it local network so I don’t need to mess with port forwarding

[deep turret]

cat /etc/passwd is reading the user file, which list info about all the user on the system (without password, the name is legacy, passwords are actually stored in /etc/shadow)
grep atisfactory is looking for lines which match that name (either username or folder, etc..)
sed .... is extracting what's in between the last 2 : which is the users' home directory

[thorny dew]

VPS gaming 👌

[bold stone]

VPS?

[round island]

Ah ok thank you

[thorny dew]

Remote server

[bold stone]

Ah

[dusky wedge]

Virtual private server, typically a cloud VM

[bold stone]

Mah server

[bold stone]

Ah

[heavy furnace]

I was asking bc I dunno if I should try to install W11 on the server since my personal PC running it is just handling both the server and the game itself right... But maybe is just a hardware perfomance issue after all... Which it bothers me because in U8 I had not this issue apart from known bugs.

[thorny dew]

I just realized that my VM is running on a 3900x lmao

I got migrated from 7900 🤣

Oh well

[dusky wedge]

I believe there are bugs with having both in the same machine where disconnecting the client on your machine can shut down the server

[heavy furnace]

Nah I'm just running this config as a test since I was having big perfomance issues with an old pc running the server.
