dedicated-servers

[deep turret]

thats an extreme downgrade

[thorny dew]

I'm paying the server owner an extremely small amount of money for the resources

Like they're losing money by having me

Highly probably that it was by mistake that I got moved or maybe it's just temporary, but I don't mind

I can just ask them to migrate me back when it starts becoming a problem

[deep turret]

for that game it likely means literally half the performance

[thorny dew]

Yep

[dusky wedge]

My server runs on an E-2288G which has similar single core performance and we’ve been pretty good

[thorny dew]

And it's not a problem right now

Again, I'm making them lose money even on the current spec

[grand path]

dedicated servers still having problems going offline?

[frosty gale]

Going offline how

[thorny dew]

I don't think I've had a dedicated server appear offline from the server list

So I couldn't tell you if anything changed

[deep turret]

for me it reliably showed up again in the server manager

not like before

[grand path]

it stays in the list but shows offline till I reboot the dedicated server

[raw saddle]

Is there a way to restart the server through a command in the console?

[topaz scarab]

quit and let the system restart it

if you don't have it running as a service, good luck

tho the wiki has Restart=on-failure in the unit file

should probably be always

[proper abyss]

How do i get my friend to join? from server manager or join game

[latent valley]

If you have a dedicated server, they need to add it in server manager.

[topaz scarab]

server manager

[proper abyss]

I gave the address, it worked for me

But it didnt work for them

Any idea why?

[latent valley]

Do you have port 7777 forwarded on your router?

[topaz scarab]

what's the first number of the ip you're giving them

[latent valley]

Also, they need your public IP, not your local one.

[proper abyss]

7777

It says on my thing

[latent valley]

Sorry, missed a 7

[proper abyss]

On my dedicated server thing that its different

60734

It doesnt even show that there is a server

WHen he confirms the thing

[latent valley]

Do you know what port forwarding is?
Also, as @topaz scarab asked, what does the address you are giving them start with? Does it start with 192, 127 or 10?

[granite crystal]

tcp and udp opens?

[proper abyss]

My friend says that his port forwarding doesnt work or sum

[latent valley]

That address is only reachable from your local network. For it to be accessible from the public internet, you need to forward port 7777 on your router and give your friends your public IP (or set up something like ddns)

[topaz scarab]

he doesn't need to, just you

and read the wiki, it's in there

[proper abyss]

Ok its on 7777 and everything and the ip works for me and im able to load it but not him

nothing happens for him when he clicks confirm

ima get my friend on the discord server hold up

[latent valley]

That is because your server is currently only accessible from your local area network (basically means that only people in your house, that are connected to your router are able to connect to the server).

[proper abyss]

Oh

So how do i make it not local

[ebon quiver]

Has anybody figured out getting more than 4 players on a dedicated server instance?

[latent valley]

That's a bit more complicated. You you have access to your router's web administration site?

[proper abyss]

My what what huh

Can i access that from my computer

Or

[latent valley]

The player limit can be set in a configuration file on the server. It's described on the "dedicated servers" wiki page.

[ebon quiver]

That does not work. at least not after 1.0

[proper abyss]

Manilol

[latent valley]

It worked for me...

[ebon quiver]

lucky guy

[latent valley]

@proper abyss you might want to look at this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1fel8t1/setting_up_a_satisfactory_dedicated_server/

Step 3 seems to explain what you need to do relatively well.

[proper abyss]

Thank you

[ebon quiver]

Are you using steamcmd for yours?

[grim dew]

Is there anyone here who port forwards from their router to the dedicated server?

[proper abyss]

But im using steamcmd

It doesnt do that

on the guide

[latent valley]

I run my server on Ubuntu, and added the following to the Game.ini file stored at /FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini:

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=10

[quaint hound]

Is it possinle to port forward over the ipv6?

[grim dew]

Why would you want to?

[latent valley]

You probably have everything before step 3 already done. Just look at the networking part. Do you host your server on Windows or Linux?

[ebon quiver]

ah. see. have mine on a windows instance.
it says to edit the game.ini file under app data. There is no game.ini under appdata. it's in an entirely different location. I assume because of using steam.cmd

Changing the gam.ini in the other location does not work

[latent valley]

Probably. I sadly don't know how it works on Windows.

[proper abyss]

Winindows

Widnows

Windows

[quaint hound]

Because my Internet Provider doesn't provide public ipv4's to everyone

[grim dew]

You could just do PAT

[frosty gale]

if you enable advanced settings then disable them does it reenable achievements or say you upload a save to a server that used advanced settings before but are disabled now

[grim dew]

Also what country doesn't get public IPV4?

[quaint hound]

German fiberglass doesn't provide it. IDK why but they sell them per month these misers

[grim dew]

So you only have a public ipv6? cool... lol

[quaint hound]

No I have one but my friend that has the Server in his house doesn't. It sucks so much because every Server like for example Minecraft etc. use IPv4 so we always have to find workarounds. We started the Satisfactory Server with playit.gg but after the Update it was lagging real bad and now we don't know if it's because of the Server or because of playit.gg. Anyways thanks for the help

[grim dew]

I study networking but explaining IPv6 is still beyond me lul. Something something it doesn't use NAT

[thorny dew]

v6 is just v4 but with an insane amount of possible addresses lol

Requires beefier routers to handle that many routes

[hidden forge]

Generally public ipv4s are too scarse for every residential connection to get one

[grim dew]

Also skips a few things IPv4 does

[thorny dew]

v6 so far has just been problems 🤣

[grim dew]

real.

[hidden forge]

Because people dont want to adopt it

[thorny dew]

Don't ask me for advice on how to run it, but you could maybe try ZeroTier and see how it goes

[thorny dew]

It's expensive to adopt

[thorny dew]

Cause of this

[grim dew]

People DO want to do it. It's just expensive.

[thorny dew]

Not every ISP can just afford overhauling their entire infra to support IPv6 routing at scale

It's insanely cost-prohibitive

[fading bane]

Hi all, I just got in this disc. Is there a guide somewhere on how to setup a dedicated server I can view?

[topaz scarab]

.

[thorny dew]

It's great for the customers, but hell for providers to support

We'll get there eventually though

[quaint hound]

IPv4 be like: 182.293.239.42 UwU
IPv6 be like : 57328fjiwe:32kpaesf94732423:5834589fe890:fr743fz47fze6w53.F($H)/(ADUH/§")(§/:fk4398fewuq98e ヾ( ･`⌓´･)ﾉﾞ

[thorny dew]

tbf you could do funny addresses with v6

[hidden forge]

Not if you just do it while already renewing your Hardware.
v6 is ~25y old..

[thorny dew]

There's still the issue if managing such a stupidly massive large routing table

[outer fossil]

its actually often significantly cheaper to run ipv6, due to no longer needing hardware that subnets things.

I work in many data centers that have ipv6 set up, and its actually really neat to just be able to connect to any machine i like without the use of ports and such, or setting up subnets

[thorny dew]

In a DC it's cheaper

But as an ISP it's not

[hidden forge]

Memory is cheap
Also you save in not needing CGNAT

[outer fossil]

for an isp, its still way cheaper. a single ipv4 pub address is way more expensive than a whole network of ipv6 thats like a few quintillion addresses

[thorny dew]

I mean, if you're talking about getting into being an ISP, then yes ipv6 is cheaper

But if you've already established your infra, then

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[outer fossil]

even still, its pretty easy to switch over.

I own a registered ISP with a few hundred customers, and when i first started off, buying ipv4 addresses was very expensive, and each ipv6 address is pretty much free.

[thorny dew]

Well yeah if you have to still buy your v4 addresses then you're screwed

And ipv6 is def better

[outer fossil]

everyone still does.

lol

its not like they are free

[thorny dew]

I mean, large ISPs were handed /8s like candy when they first started

😂

IANA moment

[topaz scarab]

what would you ever need more than 250 isps for

[thorny dew]

There's no incentive for larger ISPs who have /8s to switch to v6 right now

[outer fossil]

theres only like 6 corps that have a /8.

they absolutely were not handed out like candy

the only isps that have them are at&t, cogent, and comcast.

[muted tusk]

can setup a dedicated server on my old crappy pc

[hidden forge]

Even then, 2^24 addresses are not that much nowadays

[hidden forge]

Can yes, good experience depends

[muted tusk]

hm

it can still run games and stuff

runs on win 10

[thorny dew]

Mfw Ford has a /8

And Apple

And for some reason Mercedes-Benz

Oh also US DoD has a dozen of em

[outer fossil]

generally a /24 address space costs me 10k.

Each address is about 50$ or so.

ipv6 costs me... about 1 penny per address

[hidden forge]

I meant in numbers of adresses, not money. Sry if it caused confusion

[thorny dew]

But yeah it really isn't much regardless of how badly the v4 address space was allocated

[violet moat]

I am hosting it on 4 core 10gb ram from 3 days it was working but today when my factory got bit larger it started to act up on checking logs it was mostly using single core only

[frosty gale]

The game is single threaded

[violet moat]

So i should switch back to 2 cores 10gb and save some cost

[thorny dew]

I'd keep 4 cores to let background tasks have some CPU

But that's just me

3 is prob fine

2 gets a bit tight but should still be doable

[jolly orchid]

i run my dedi on 2 cores

i get rock solid 30 tick

[outer fossil]

yes its perfectly fine to have 2 cores

[jolly orchid]

satisfactory very much prefers high core clock single core performance, and does not scale well with more cores.

[thorny mauve]

Hey, how long it takes to create world?

[topaz scarab]

like a minute tops

[thorny mauve]

"Server is preparing a new game" about 3 mins

[thorny dew]

Depends on your cpu

[silver rain]

yeah

[thorny dew]

It uses quite a bit to generate the map

[thorny mauve]

well it dosnt use much so far

[thorny dew]

Yeah it's prob slamming a thread

[topaz scarab]

what's your cpu

[unreal crystal]

isnt it the same every time though; whats it generating

[thorny dew]

It's single core for the game

[thorny mauve]

8700K oc to 4.9

[topaz scarab]

better than mine

[thorny mauve]

for my main machine 13700K took a moment

[thorny dew]

foliage, resource nodes, and I'd assume terrain is also a bit procedural

Not sure what else, but yeah it takes a bit of time and a bit of CPU grunt to do so

[unreal crystal]

yea foliage and randomizing resource nodes makes sense

[jolly orchid]

on my 7950x3d, it was near instant

i'm not sure it was even 30 seconds

[thorny mauve]

its 5 mins already and hes using only 20%

something is fked

[pseudo stream]

hey i need help with the server please

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28qffd4l86g i followed this tutorial but it doesnt work

[thorny mauve]

can you be a bit more specific? what dosnt work?

cant connect? cant generate world?

canot launch cmd?

[pseudo stream]

at the point where he starts teh server in the file explorer it doesnt even show the file for me

i can add it but i cant start it

[thorny mauve]

factoryServer is not launching for you?

[pseudo stream]

i dont have this

i dont have it in my file

[thorny mauve]

cmd should say SErver API listening on

[thorny mauve]

dud

[pseudo stream]

?

what

[thorny mauve]

steamcmd\steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer

you dont even follow along video

[pseudo stream]

i did exactly what he did

[thorny dew]

Go to steamapps > common and send a screenshot

Oh

[thorny mauve]

this screen shows root of SteamCMD

[thorny dew]

He changes install dir

[pseudo stream]

huh??????

[thorny mauve]

this video forced instal to C\gameservers\satisfactory

[thorny dew]

See this command that you were told to run? Did you change the install dir to match what you wanted?

[pseudo stream]

yes

[thorny dew]

What's the directory?

[thorny mauve]

this is your steam cmd dir

[thorny dew]

That doesn't look like the bat file you're running

[proper abyss]

Does my friend need satisfactory dedicated server app to join me

[thorny dew]

What's update.bat have?

[proper abyss]

in the dedicated server

[thorny dew]

No

[thorny mauve]

go there
steamcmd\steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer

[pseudo stream]

bro i am so confused atm

[thorny dew]

No that's wrong xd

[unreal crystal]

you're showing a txt.txt file and running a .bat

[pseudo stream]

here

thats the bat

[thorny dew]

Did you run that .bat file?

[pseudo stream]

yes

3 times

and nothing happens

[granite crystal]

you can use this

https://github.com/asidsx/SatisfactoryPyServerInstaller

[pseudo stream]

i just wait untul the setup is completed and nothing happens

[unreal crystal]

you might need "" around your install dir with the space in your folder name

[unreal crystal]

iunno how finicky windows is with that but it doesnt look right; fix your folder name then try

[jolly orchid]

oh man that youtube video is terrible

[thorny dew]

Check this folder first

Make sure it's not actually installed before doing other stuff

[pseudo stream]

i feel like my pc is dying

[topaz scarab]

maybe update it for 1.0 if you're gonna recommend people use it

[pseudo stream]

now i wait

[topaz scarab]

lol

[granite crystal]

The only thing that doesn't work is opening ports in the firewall.

[topaz scarab]

kinda important

[pseudo stream]

i already opened port 7777

[granite crystal]

Before installing and starting the service, run it for the first time. You need to install various libraries for the server.

[pseudo stream]

bruh

a bit too late

[granite crystal]

Or run it without the service.

[granite crystal]

just stor service and press "Run"

[pseudo stream]

ok its done

now what?

[waxen loom]

Not seeing anything about it pinned and keeping up with this channel is nearly impossible. Any fix yet for dedicated servers crashing when someone disconnects?

[thorny dew]

It's workin

[pseudo stream]

do i just start the game now and add the server?

[granite crystal]

yes

[thorny dew]

Go connect locally for now by using 127.0.0.1:7777 or localhost:7777

[pseudo stream]

k

kk

what if someone wants to join?

[thorny dew]

You have to forward the port

[pseudo stream]

i already did

[unreal crystal]

they'll need your public IP

[jolly orchid]

where did you forward it lol

[pseudo stream]

k

[short flower]

or use hamachi and stuff

[thorny dew]

ZeroTier 👌

[unreal crystal]

make sure your routers sending 7777 to the server

[jolly orchid]

why are people bothering with dedicated servers if they are running the game on their own pc?

[unreal crystal]

it's single core limited

it's basically free gainz; kinda.

[jolly orchid]

no?

[pseudo stream]

it didnt work

nvm

[waxen loom]

It did - you have to click that and set up the server. Give it a name/admin password.

[short flower]

I prefer PlayIt, for games at least

[thorny dew]

Makes a bit of sense if you're fine with leaving your PC on for your friends but you don't want the GPU usage

[past trail]

Anyone know what the requirements if any are for running a server. Such as dot net framework and so on ?

[thorny dew]

Just steamcmd, really

[granite crystal]

c++ runtime

[pseudo stream]

can someone try joining to see if it works fully

217.246.201.165

[past trail]

thank you.

[pseudo stream]

ah i know what i did wrong

[granite crystal]

During the first run, it installs everything needed by itself.

[pseudo stream]

how did u do that=

like how did ui check?

[unreal crystal]

google -> port checker

profit

[restive sun]

why do splitters seem a bit slower on dedicated servers? ore is stopping in front of a splitter on a dedi but if i launch the world on my pc it runs smoothly

[pseudo stream]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH

[unreal crystal]

doesnt look right; look up how to port forward on your router; should be directed to your local server IP

[pseudo stream]

why cant i open my port

[waxen loom]

You're openinig it on your router, correct? Not windows firewall.

[granite crystal]

You need to configure your router, open the ports there, and set up port forwarding to your computer

[pseudo stream]

yes

[waxen loom]

As a side note, is it allowed through your local windows firewall?

[pseudo stream]

oh dang true

[unreal crystal]

has windows firewall ever stopped a threat? /s

[past trail]

just now trying to work out why we are getting

Error accepting expected connection [0] SE_NO_ERROR

[deep turret]

have your home door ever stopped a robber ?

[granite crystal]

I also encountered such an error, but I was able to connect normally.

[past trail]

with

FMultiBindDatagramSocket failed to read data from underlying socket Unreal: SE_ECONNRESET

too after the last person leavesthe server it crashes with that error and the server gos offline but the console remains open

[pseudo stream]

MMMMMDXFCVN VSDNCVJOSDIKVFCPASD KFJSYDOFIMSDKPFHJ PSDIOHJDISAWUGAS

i hate server creation its too complicated

[waxen loom]

@past trail I get that anytime ANYONE disconnects from my server. Been a problem since 1.0.

[pseudo stream]

i cant do it

[waxen loom]

Dedicated servers are stupid simple, you just have to understand the technology behind them.

[past trail]

just cant work out why the server is crashing after the last person leaves

[deep turret]

why is aktiv checkbox not checked ?

[pseudo stream]

doesnt change anything

i tried

[waxen loom]

Server isn't crashing, it just stops listening to traffic.

Literally stops listening on 7777

[granite crystal]

We need to wait for a fix from the developers...

[deep turret]

so you are saying that because the front wheel on your bike didnt work, you unmounted it before trying mounting the rear wheel ?

[pseudo wind]

Hi, guys, I made an api wrapper in c# for hobby (first time) (https://github.com/DrkWzrd/FactoryServerApi), and I'm searching where are documented "startinglocation" strings, anyone? for now I used what I think it "should" be

[pseudo stream]

bro what?

[deep turret]

obviosuly it needs to be active for the whole thing to work

[past trail]

know of a way to stop that from happening ?

[deep turret]

why did you unchecked it

[pseudo stream]

it is checked

[waxen loom]

Nope. I pop in here every now and then to see if anyone has ideas 😄

[granite crystal]

no

[deep turret]

not on the screenshot which I was talking about

[thorny dew]

Can you screenshot what the edit page looks like?

[past trail]

ah alright hehe

thank you for the info 🙂

[pseudo stream]

its german

[deep turret]

so I could know it's checked until you tell me

[thorny dew]

Good ol' fritzbox

[deep turret]

fritzbox again

how surprising

..

[pseudo stream]

idk what i am doing wrong i t worked for my mc server

[deep turret]

like half the people complaining here have fritzbox

[thorny dew]

Did you also forward UDP?

[pseudo stream]

its very common in germany

[waxen loom]

Make sure you're forwarding TCP AND UDP

[deep turret]

yes but the game is international

[pseudo stream]

idk

[thorny dew]

Look at how MC has TCP and UDP

[deep turret]

I swear fritzbox have issues

[thorny dew]

Satisfactory also needs that

[past trail]

dont even know what this "fritzbox" is lol

[pseudo stream]

ah

[deep turret]

a german company ISP box

[past trail]

ah alright then

[pseudo stream]

so i must have 4 for satis in total?

[thorny dew]

no

Just 2

Your MC has 4 because 2 are for ipv6

[pseudo stream]

onl 2?

ok

[thorny dew]

If you want to do ipv6 then go ahead ig

[pseudo stream]

why is my pc not showing up now

for gods sake

[pseudo stream]

why is only one activ now

[thorny dew]

Idk

[pseudo stream]

😭

[thorny dew]

What does editing the service look like?

I don't have a fritzbox so I'd need some reference points

[pseudo stream]

wait

it worked

both are green now

still no

[thorny dew]

Port still isn't reachable though

lol

[paper perch]

is there a config for more than 3 autosaves?

[pseudo stream]

please kill me

[granite crystal]

try restart your router

[pseudo stream]

wait

[regal marsh]

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

[pseudo stream]

someone try joining please

[paper perch]

thanks

[pseudo stream]

fuck this im going to bed

[tough portal]

check windows firewall?

[stoic stream]

Wil there ever be mod support on Dedicated servers?

[pseudo stream]

I did

[granite patio]

for those struggling with the server api error and don't want to listen to the same old port forward nonsense that everyone else suggests for a server that was already working before. Deleting the server settings file fixed my server

its in the %appdata% folder

[thorny dew]

Also make sure to add -Port=7777 to your launch script to make sure it stays on port 7777 instead of automatically incrementing

[outer fossil]

"nonsense" that has helped 95% of ppl

[granite patio]

incorrect

[outer fossil]

Sorry I don't see you here sending thousands of messages helping ppl

[granite patio]

your point? check reddit. your statement is invalid. you have helped the people that dont know what they are doing setting up a server.

[outer fossil]

I'm not saying I have, but a very common issue that ppl face is not port forwarding correctly

Scrolling up it's like every other issue

[potent cedar]

Updated Docker and even updated ubuntu. The folder binding seems to work but I'm still running into some issue I don't understand.
https://pastebin.com/neSLwGkn

[deep turret]

also I do say to do a fresh install of the new server is a starting point for troubleshooting

so it's at least not always nonsense

[potent cedar]

I will try that

[lofty lantern]

Seriously the satisfactory failed to connect to the server api problem is quite annoying.

I followed every damn thing on the internet and on this post and it doesnt work

[deep turret]

it was not targeting you sorry, I was answering above

[potent cedar]

ohhhh got it xD

[deep turret]

I believe if you update the docker it should mostly be fine

though a fresh start can also do you good

remember to keep your saves safe

[vast seal]

anyone have / having crashing issues when trying to delete a blueprint ?

[tough portal]

think we fixed our stutter... noticed my wife was on WiFi... i reconnected the hardline and bam.... no stutter 😛

[unreal crystal]

ye they are buggy

delete the problem buildings with SCIM and reupload the save.

somewhere i read something bout disconnecting + reconnecting if the buildings fail to delete that you deleted? 🤷‍♂️

havent tested that

[vast seal]

kk ill give it a shot - appreciate it

[uncut hawk]

wtf

yesterday it was 30 tick rate

What to do? :\

[hidden forge]

@pseudo stream you probably don't have a public ipv4.

[wispy citrus]

what does the beacon port do?

[hidden forge]

got replaced

[uncut vault]

So, started a dedicated server last night, ran it fine with two buddies all night. Came back this morning, launched the game and greeted with this... server is still running(on the same local machine), obviously ports are forwarded because we connected last night....any idea what's going on? (This is a windows dedicated server ran from the steam download)

[uncut hawk]

rip

[shrewd glacier]

Just incase nobody is aware, when the host disconnects from the server, the server doesn't actually crash. Instead, it just stops listening on their respective ports. Factories will still run if auto-pause is disabled.

[hidden forge]

host as in admin or player on same machine?

[shrewd glacier]

Yes

[shrewd glacier]

If you disconnected from the server from the same Local IPv4 as the server's, you need to restart it for anyone to be able to reconnect.

[deep turret]

use the right wiki please satisfactory.wiki.gg

[shrewd glacier]

It's a bug that likely won't be fixed for a few days

[uncut vault]

I have restarted both the server and the game client. Restarting the server caused it to show up for a second, then said I needed to authenticate. Typed in the password and it swapped back to the "Server appears to be offline" screen.

[sturdy gust]

Yeah, we've known since launch 🙂 Hopefully it's fixed soon!

[shrewd glacier]

I haven't run into that issue myself, so idk. You should only have to authenticate once, so I can't understand why you had to authenticate again.

[rain aurora]

Is there no way at all to redirect the dedicated server save directory? I only ask because as a GSP any server can delete any save with the 1.0 patch. Is there anyway to prevent that? The easiest solution to me would to be redirect the default save directory\

[shrewd glacier]

Yeah I just wanted people who think the server is crashing entirely to be aware. I run my world on a dedicated server for solo play so my factories run without me in-game, and one might think that you'd have to restart the server despite the issue.

[sullen tulip]

is this the dedicated server GUI? or is this something different?
how can I run the dedicated server with GUI from steam?
are there any command line parameters I need to add?

[uncut vault]

I just tried it again, and it accepted authentication only to show the server in the status list for like 3 seconds, then immediately switch back to "server appears to be offline".

[winged wagon]

Is there a way to reconnect my player instance that doesn't involve the calculator? My server re-instanced me for some reason and I lost all my items

[crimson saffron]

IT Looks Like a dedicated Server from ZAP

[sullen tulip]

ah ok

[uncut hawk]

it's a webpanel 🙂

Its called pterodactyl google it 🙂

[sullen tulip]

Here they showed there is somehow the possibility to get a server console https://youtu.be/v8piXNQwcUw?si=ZLLfNRoHlGvUHOqb&t=341

[shrewd glacier]

Saves are stored in appdata. In other words, no. You'll just need to make copies of the servers until they release some command line argument to configure save locations.

[rain aurora]

Yah I have known for years that the saves get stored in App Data, but since the release of 1.0 now any server can delete anyones save on a machine

massive issue from a GSP perspective

Not just the save tied to "their server"

Like server A can delete server Bs save now

[shrewd glacier]

I understand that. They should at least store them somewhere in the server's directory instead of app data.

[rain aurora]

Yes they should, but they never have sadly

The only workaround I can see is using VMs for each server.

Obviously not recommended unless that's the only solution.

[wide crystal]

Hello everyone, is there a way to keep a dedicated server up even when the host leaves (dedicated server is on my own hardware)?

[karmic jackal]

does anyone know a good host for a server?

[uncut vault]

After trying a direct connect using the IP of the server, this is the error I get after a long wait time. Any thought on that?

[deep turret]

this is likely a resource issue
check you have enough ram
and five it time to set itself up

[inland lake]

Turn off auto pause in the server settings in game.

[wide crystal]

ok thank you!

[silver orbit]

what happens when you add in server manager ?

[modern scroll]

It is a common issue with 1.0 where server autopause keeps getting turned on?

[silver orbit]

not that I am aware of.

for the setting to take effect someone has to be connected to the server

So join the server then, change the setting in server manager then log out

[modern scroll]

Every couple days it just randomly turns back on

[silver orbit]

you should then see in server manager the time continue to tick after a few minutes

[silver orbit]

are you the only admin ?

[modern scroll]

Yes 🤦‍♀️

[deep turret]

then after changing the settings manually shutdown the server gracefully and completely

it's a Linux server ?

[modern scroll]

Yes

[deep turret]

that will force it to save the setting

[modern scroll]

It will stay off for a couple days then it just gets turned back on for no reason/

[deep turret]

do what I said if you didn't already

it will not save until it have to shut down

and it may crash before that

[silver orbit]

you can shutdown the server gracefully by going to console in server manager and typing in "quit"

there is also a chance that it is something in your save file

as there seems to be a fair amoutn of odd save file issues

but I agree with what Shark said

[deep turret]

that shouldn't be though this has almost nothing to do with the actual game
it's specifically a server setting

[silver orbit]

yea so it cant get to your server

[deep turret]

the key about my question about Linux is Linux config is to automatically restart on crash

[silver orbit]

are you hosting the server local or at a hosting comapny ?

[uncut vault]

locally. same machine. It worked flawlessly last night for myself on same machine and two others connecting remotely. Soon as I woke up this morning, this message above.

[silver orbit]

Open admin command prompt run the below

netstat -aon | findstr "7777"

[deep turret]

you let it run ?

[deep turret]

without sleeping / hibernation ?

[uncut vault]

yes

[deep turret]

what is the server console telling you

[silver orbit]

well the ports are there. so that seems like it is runnign

[uncut vault]

"accepting connection from (my local machine IP) ...."

multiple times in a row

then nothing

[silver orbit]

did you shut it down and start it again

[uncut vault]

yup

both the game and server.

even uninstalled the game and reinstalled to be sure

[silver orbit]

Did windows firewall settings reset or something ?

[uncut vault]

nope, still show satisf/satisfdedicatedserver both open/allowed

[deep turret]

what address are you yourself using to connect ?

[silver orbit]

did you reboot your computer ?

[uncut vault]

yes, when game was uninstalled

[uncut vault]

my public ipv4

can try the local machine ip instead

[deep turret]

ok spotted

[silver orbit]

you need to use the local ip

everyone else needs to use the public

[uncut vault]

ok , let me try

[deep turret]

check 2 things :

• your actual public ip (to see if it changed)
• your local ip and forwarding rules (to see if it stull points to your pc)

[karmic jackal]

any cheaper options?

[uncut vault]

ok, so using the local machine ip 192.168.*.* , was able to connect but then dropped back to menu, as soon as server log said "auto pause allowed if enabled now..." the server disappeared from my list again and went back to "the server appears to be offline"

[silver orbit]

dunno prices but there are a few, SharkByte and Gportal

[uncut vault]

Is auto pause fugged? is it somehow timing out the server?

[silver orbit]

not that I have seen

I change mine all the time

[deep turret]

check what says the server and wait

[outer fossil]

plenty, just depends what you are looking for

[deep turret]

Also, did you do that (parallel )

[karmic jackal]

we have a server but its super laggy rn and im tryna find a new one lol

plenty of ram but the cpu sucks

[uncut vault]

so public ip didnt change, and yes my machine still has the same local as is set in the router

[deep turret]

common case do not take general purpose servers there are specific offers like from indifferent brocoli

[karmic jackal]

are you using a aws server to host a satisfactory world?

[deep turret]

ok then that's ruled out

[uncut vault]

well restarting everything allowed me to use the local IP to connect again one time. then it does the same "server offline" after I leave the game though. restarted both again, logged in once with local ip and disabled auto-pause and now it seems to not disappear at the menu....

guess I'll just leave auto pause off for now...

[deep turret]

common windows bug

waiting for patch

this week will be a lot of work for coffee stain

[outer fossil]

nah, i use my own vpc.

[gloomy crypt]

Running my previous desktop as my server pc for myself and a friend. No lag and works like a charm. Entering phase 3 and knowing how much more complex the setups get, is there a minimum cpu/ram number somewhere so I know if I'll start hitting bottlenecks soon? It's got a 4.4ghz quad-core new gen.

[deep turret]

if you have 4 thread cpu you are good

if you have 16GB free ram you are good

[slow bloom]

Okay, getting some reports from players that they're crashing and when they log back in, it's like they're brand new, but when they go back to where they crashed, there's a player model moving like they do

Anyone got a solution?

[deep turret]

they reconnected too quickly

[chrome pumice]

The connected back to quickly. They need to kill the old bodies to get there stuff back.

[deep turret]

the server was still have their connection on

[broken nova]

I've been getting consistent Seg Faults on my server since launch day - I've got new RAM coming in the mail to try it out, but has there been any chatter about others seeing Seg Faults as well? Just searching through the channel i didn't see a ton.

[neon coyote]

From the 1.0 announcement:

Dedicated Servers now also support TLS, where you can create certificates manually or have it automated when booting up the server.
Has the procedure to start the server with your own TLS certificate been documented anywhere? I can't find it.

[deep turret]

it's on your pc

check pinned messages

[neon coyote]

found it! Thank you

[outer fossil]

you can look at lowendbox.com.

[karmic jackal]

ty

[paper topaz]

i have a friend in spain trying to play on my dedicated server in the US, would raising or lowering my server network setting quality help his latency?

i cant even change the network quality, it just becomes medium after a restart

when i change it in the client UI

[keen summit]

Anyone using the ich777 unraid docker container and have trouble with blueprints not loading on restart?

[paper topaz]

what does this red arrow circle mean. the change doesnt stay after a server restart

[keen summit]

Perhaps its a "restart required for changes to take affect"?

[paper topaz]

na thats a text box

and a restart just resets it

[inland lake]

Anyone know how to reset the admin password on a 1.0 server??

[plucky cove]

I can't for the life of me make it so that anyone can join my Dedicated Server

[inland lake]

Port forward the server IP to 7777 and using your public IP to join?

[plucky cove]

I did do all of that I believe but I still can't get anyone else to join

I can join with my Local IP but nobody can join with my public IP

[edgy karma]

Where you hosting on?

[plucky cove]

At least I think I port forwarded properly

I am hosting on my machine

[edgy karma]

Make sure firewall rules are ok

And forward port Udo/tcp

[plucky cove]

I am using Norton and I'm not too sure if they are right

But I did add 7777 to udp and tcp

[edgy karma]

Turn it off for a moment to rule it out

[inland lake]

It needs to be both TCP and UDP with the IP of the device running the server and yes do the same TCP and UDP for outbound rules in your firewall

[acoustic pecan]

anyone else experiencing desync between client and server sometimes

[lofty lantern]

How do we change the certificat that that you receive at first connnection

[plucky cove]

I turned off seemingly everything and it still wont find my server on my friends machine

[lofty lantern]

I tried turning off the firewall on the faulty computer that is getting Failed to connect to server API , Changing the Ports on the firewall and starting the server with factoryServer.exe -NOSTEAM -⁠ServerQueryPort=15000 -⁠BeaconPort=15001 -Port=15002 -log -unattended

Uninstalled the game and installed it on different drive. I am at a loss I tried everyting.

[deep turret]

inbound !*
what's the point of being specific if it's off

[deep turret]

1. Firewall of the connecting machine/game will change nothing, it's about the server machine firewall
2. remove any query and beacon port , these are incompatible old settings
3. make sure you use the real wiki https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/dedicated_servers firewall script so it have the correct settings

[deep turret]

the certificate location is documented see pinned messages here for where to find the documentation

[lofty lantern]

Thanks 🙏

[lofty lantern]

Funny thing is that all works on two other computers

[lofty lantern]

Not sure where to find the pinned message sorry

[inland lake]

Anyone know how to reset the admin password on a 1.0 server??

[granite patio]

@inland lake delete this server settings file in the appdata

[inland lake]

That’s what I thought but could only ever find these files. What’s the path to appdata

[granite patio]

Open explorer and type in the path box %appdata% then hit enter

It will be in the local folder under factory game

[acoustic pecan]

how do I get an offline player off my head

for some reason they keep spawning on me

[inland lake]

You are a legend sir, thank you.

[unreal flume]

I found the site for Pelican. Seems like a Game Server oriented alternative to Portainer?

[broken nova]

If i don't have a useful GPU in my server computer, will that cause issues? I have a low-end passively cooled GPU just so I can display the pc on a monitor, but it can't really do any big computation. I'm pretty sure I don't need one, but i've been troubleshooting Seg Faults for days now and I can't find the problem.

[unreal crystal]

nope; servers dont need GPU

[broken nova]

thank ya 👍

[unreal flume]

yeah, the game client handles all the graphics. the server is mainly jsut doing the underlying logic, which is more CPU bound than GPU bound.

[deep turret]

sorry to tell you
but this is not a technical issue
this is a social one
ask your friends to stop getting off after jumping on your character

[acoustic pecan]

theyre not haha

when i join the game they tp to my head it seems

[deep turret]

there is no movement of offline characters

you always "spawn" where you were

So it's just they got there when you were offline

your character just get down and sip some mug when you get off

[unreal flume]

I looked into it and it smees a lot less plug-n-play than the docker+portainer setup I have now. Besides, I'm already using Docker and Portainer to self host a bunch of other stuff in my home lab, so it's easier for me to just stick to that.

[lilac pine]

having the same thing happen

[unreal flume]

I repulled the redeployed the stack and my container has been healthy ever since.

[worn void]

pelican.dev

It is very plug and play if you have your own machine

And its really easy to get the server going, their docs explain everything

[unreal flume]

yeah, but I don't wanna setup a webserver. it's got too many pre-reqs for my liking

[worn void]

• you can host any game aswell

[unreal flume]

I can do that with docker and portainer too

[worn void]

Yes but in a very confusing manner, when you rack up 100 different containers

[unreal flume]

and the benefit of sticking with those, for me, is that I can have one unified interface for all my stuff, Game servers and other self hosted services

[worn void]

This is literally virtualizing game servers and wrapping it up in a nice interface

With support for all steamcmd games

and more

[worn void]

Which is total stupidity because you mix game servers with hosted services...

Sseparate them

Turst me

Life is easier

Are you running proxmox?

[edgy karma]

I redeployed container and increased tickrate to 60 and it solved it for me, but i think the first part did fix it

[heavy furnace]

Hi there, I bring back this topic since both my friend and I have been playing for around 5-6 hours with a huge perfomance improvement. Minor issues related to probably yet-to-optimize thingies here and there from the development team.

• Current CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and 64GB of RAM. Windows 11 OS. (This machine is running my client too!)
• Previous CPU: Intel i5 4570T (Silly me, I thought I had a 4570, not a 4570T) with 16GB of RAM tried on Debian 12, Ubuntu 22.04 and virtualized in Proxmox (LCX container).

Personal appreciation; the CPU never reached a high usage percentage in the previous CPU in any case, so it was hard to diagnose. The network environment did not change either. So I will close that topic on just probably, lack of powerful hardware. However, I should insist; In Update 8, this very hardware was capable of running the server just fine. Maybe there is a lot of work to do in the optimization side, or maybe just the system requirements went up with 1.0.

[worn void]

If i had more servers they would obv show here

They are literally docker containers, pelican is just a nice wrapper so to speak

[unreal flume]

I'm never going to have that many containers. I'm just running like 3 game servers. I have those on a seperate VM from my services, but I can manage both environments from one portainer dashboard. I don't need someone telling me how to manage my homelab in a way that works for me. Suggesting services to look at are fine, but no need to be offended when someone says, "nah, that's not for me" or "that would take retooling my server setup too much."

[worn void]

I am not offended, idc how you are running your home lab

[unreal flume]

I'm happy Pelican is working so well for you. I like Portainer and it's already working well for me. To each thier own. I might look into Pelican in hte future if I'm at a point I need to retool my server setup.

[worn void]

It might come off that way, all I am doing is suggesting this solution over the convoluted portainer shenanigans, because from experience I know how crazy it can get

[unreal flume]

I also want to stick to portainer since it's more widely used in enterprise. I work in IT and my homelab is also for building my career skills. Portainer did have a bit of a learning curve, but I figured it out.

[worn void]

You are not the only one who tried to use portainer for satisfactory hosting but it was too finicky

The people who maintain the images arent reliable

[tender thicket]

r u using wolveix' image?

its the best one

[unreal flume]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tender thicket]

google it

wolveix satisfactory

[worn void]

I don't need it as I am using a different way to realise it

[tender thicket]

fair

yeah I dont use it either (ptero) but its worked well from what ive heard

[unreal flume]

I am. it's worked fine so far. I just slapped the compse script into a stack, adjusted some Env. Variables and deployed. Eazy Peezy, Lemon Squeezy.

[tender thicket]

yup yup

[worn void]

Yeah ptero is what I used to use

Pelican is its successor

[tender thicket]

yeah ik

im not too fussed abt switching until plugins come out

[worn void]

That sounds complicated af

I just loaded an "egg" gave it ports

And done

[tender thicket]

the second they come out im jumping on that

[unreal flume]

literally copy and paste. lol

[tender thicket]

u did have to setup ptero tho

which is tedious

[worn void]

Pelican is piss easy to setup these days

[tender thicket]

pelican*

wdym?

[worn void]

They made it so you can set it up with the web-panel

[tender thicket]

interesting

[worn void]

you just basically download php and the prerequisites

And run the panel go to the ip:/install

site

and just next next next finish

[tender thicket]

oh interesting

cool

[worn void]

Then install the wings instance and thats it

[tender thicket]

yeah I just have a docker compose for all of that

[worn void]

I dont know what kind of drama ensued from ptero and pelican

[tender thicket]

but its cool that progress is being made

[worn void]

But for now pelican seems to be better

I made a bot for ptero 🥲

[tender thicket]

apparently ptero maintainer was playing it too safe and slow with changes

thats why ppl forked

[worn void]

its incompatible:')

[tender thicket]

rip

yeah eggs are also incompatible

[worn void]

yeah sadness

but i guess the api is better

[tender thicket]

meh pelican maintains for both rn

[worn void]

So maybe I can skip the websockets

[tender thicket]

which is nice

[worn void]

RIP ;"0

[candid tiger]

Hey can anyone tell me if hyper tube cannons work well in dedicated servers?

[tender thicket]

what did it do?

[worn void]

Basically gave you info abt the server and control it

[tender thicket]

oh ok so just a management bot

cool

[worn void]

learning how to use websockets was a pain

And their docs werent helpful at all

[tender thicket]

yeah I can imagine

[worn void]

And the other "bots"

Are all paid

The ones on the market or whatever

So i didnt want to pay lol

[tender thicket]

fair

[cobalt rune]

are there any server hosts that partnered with coffee stain

[tender thicket]

directly? not afaik

[cobalt rune]

i feel like i remember someone mentioning that

idk, just thought i would ask

ima have to switch providers here pretty quick

anyone have reccomendations?

[tender thicket]

not immediately no

I do have avoiding recommendations tho

hosts to steer clear of

[cobalt rune]

go for it

[tender thicket]

the only one that comes to mind is nitrado

charging per player and they take like days to update

1.0 took multiple days to be accepted iirc

[candid tiger]

Hey can anyone tell me if hyper tube cannons work well in dedicated servers?

[cobalt rune]

they work fine

[candid tiger]

Nitrado was updated to 1.0 less than an hour after 1.0 launched... And it updated nearly instantly for the patch the other day...

[cobalt rune]

im using shockbyte and their customer support is sometimes good sometimes nonexistent

[tender thicket]

Not what I heard from ppl in here

[tender thicket]

re. this

[wanton pasture]

is there a known issues list for dedicated servers at the moment?

[candid tiger]

I can tell you from having a nitrado server that they have been excellent with 1.0

[tender thicket]

u can check the QA site for issues, no shortlist here tho

[candid tiger]

Was playing on dedicated via nitrado the night of 1.0 no problem. Same as the patch that was released the next day

[tender thicket]

Thats fair enough, I'm just repeating what ive heard from like 4 different ppl here

and if 4 different ppl at different times come here to shit on nitrado im more inclined to believe them than the one person vouching for them

[candid tiger]

That's odd that people would lie about something like this. Like... Why? Lol

[tender thicket]

Im inclined to believe they arent lying

due to the fact that they arent apparently related

and I dont believe that theres some grand conspiracy to defame nitrado in the satisfactory discord

[candid tiger]

Guess I got lucky then? Lol why would nitrado treat me so nicely?

[tender thicket]

u tell me man ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[candid tiger]

Honestly, I think people didn't know that you have to stop and restart your server

I bet they just had it running and complained that it didn't instantly work

[cobalt rune]

shockbyte is good for some people and not for others as far as customer support, mixed bag, i assume its a similar situation, a coin toss of service if you will

[tender thicket]

well regardless of that, I do believe that charging ppl per amount of players is dodgy at best

[tender thicket]

Yeah Ive heard a similar sentiment here for shockbyte

some ppl use it no problem other ppl do complain abt support

Ideally you wouldnt have to use support but it doesnt always work out that way

[cobalt rune]

their satisfactory panel has been broken for 5 days now

cant restart without soft locking the server

[tender thicket]

thats not great

[cobalt rune]

you have to ask support to restart it

[tender thicket]

oh jesus

thats really bad

I can understand why support responsiveness is a big thing in that case

[cobalt rune]

its been 2 days since they responded to anyone in the discord regarding satisfactory

[tender thicket]

or their lack thereof

[candid tiger]

Most servers do that? Either by the total player count on the server, or ram.

[tender thicket]

Ram yes, not an arbitrary cap on players

[candid tiger]

For nitrado for example, you don't get a choice for RAM. They provide servers that give as much RAM as you need. If the server needs more, it'll get more. That's why they charge per person.

[copper socket]

any new how too setup personal server on lynix for 1.0 guides
?

[split relic]

anyone know why my friend is getting a 'server name pending not authenticated' and when he tries to click on any of the tabs under server manager is shows "server is offline"

im running a windows 10 steam cmd dedicated server all the ports are fowareded through firewall

[split relic]

fixed

[edgy ingot]

Hello all, I'm trying to setup a dedicated server. I purchsed one through LOW.MS and I've been provided the ip address. When I go to server manager in satisfactory main menu and type the address in, leaving the port at 7777 and deleting the port off the copied address, I dont get a name server option or anything. I only see server name pending and under that it says not authenticated. Any tips? Thank you!

[tender thicket]

Did they give u port 7777?

They may have not given u that one, esp if its a hosting co

[edgy ingot]

yes port is 7777 in the port address bar on satisfactory. The IP provided by LOW.MS does not however have 7777 at the end of the address. I've been deleting the ending and using port 7777 in the port address bar

[rain mist]

is it possible to use a tunnel for my dedicated server? ive been trying but it doesnt seem to reroute it to my server no matter what. I have a tunnel for tcp port 7777 but when I try to join using the tunnel it just says server offline

[unreal crystal]

need to route TCP + UDP

[rain mist]

oh thank you, let me try that

that worked thank you so much, this took so long

[stoic stream]

so any fixes planned for these annoying crashes and the server not restarting properly, i know several people are getting th ese bugs

[grim mica]

Not had any crashes on DS for 1.0 as of yet - the admin disconnecting issue is certainly annoying however

[stoic stream]

If the server restarts on it's own, like "This server will restart in" whatever, it doesn't come back up, insanely annoying

Also, if you exit back to the menu, and attempt to go back in, it crashes the server. INfuriating that after this long they are still having issues with the dedicate

[grim mica]

Ah yeah, I usually just restart it manually if im on it and that comes up, seems to happen at midnight for me no matter when I start it

Yeah again.. not crashing - that is the admin leaving issue

Not sure what is causing it at the moment but whomever join first sort of 'claims' it and places it in singleplayer mode, when that person leaves the server a log message comes up saying the server stopped listening, cant get it back unless restart

[stoic stream]

lol

[topaz scarab]

what's your setup

[stoic stream]

lol

Ain't my setup. But if you want to know: PowerEdge R730, Running an ESXI VM, 64GB of RAM, 10CPUs, running on an SSD arrry in ZFS2, off TrueNAS through 10gigbit ISCSI

[topaz scarab]

i meant like linux or windows
check your systemd unit file, make sure you've got killsignal set to sigint, and restart always, at the very least
that'll at least help with systemctl restarts

i haven't encountered the server not restarting itself incorrectly yet, so can't help you there

[tired quiver]

is there a console command or something to change when the auto-reboot is? midnight is sometimes right when we're cooking

[topaz scarab]

it's the "interval" setting, apparently

[stoic stream]

No the game is still in beta, so give them time to fix it

[fossil sinew]

If the ip they provided doesn’t have 7777 at the end then your port isn’t 7777. Use what they provide.

[unreal flume]

anyone else having issues with the stuff not dissapearing when you dismantle it until you log out and back into the server?

[hidden patrol]

Alright alright last ditch effort for the night.
Came back for 1.0, I previously hosted a server on Update 8. I updated the server and can connect via LAN, but cannot connect via WAN. I have the same Port Forwarding for port 7777 in my router and the same inboud rules on the firewall which previously worked, am I missing something?

I've been through the wiki about 5 times, Get-NetUDPEndPoint shows my server IP on port 7777

[quick mist]

Here's what you're missing @hidden patrol - the 1.0 server also requires TCP/7777 to be opened and forwarded to the server. The "beacon port" and "quert port" earlier versions used are no longer used.

Now it's just tcp/7777 and udp/7777 both.

but you do need both

[hidden patrol]

That's what I have, I removed the other ports that are no longer used

In my router I have "both" selected for TCP/UDP and an inbound rule for both TCP and UDP

[quick mist]

did you also run this command for the TCP port firewall rule?

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

[hidden patrol]

I used the GUI for Windows Firewall, but can confirm a rule for TCP and a rule for UDP and both are enabled.

[quick mist]

Do you mind sharing your WAN address so that I can give it a quick test?

[hidden patrol]

redacted

[quick mist]

UDP is timing out for me.

• Is the server currently running?
• Double check the forward is in-place on your router or gateway
• Triple-check that the LAN address it's forwarding to is correct and that your host's LAN IP address has not changed

[analog minnow]

is there a way i could disable the encryption? all my traffic is either localhost or through tailscale so i have little to zero need for it

[quick mist]

There is not currently a means to bypass the TLS layer the server uses that I am aware of.

[analog minnow]

Alright, thank you!

[quick mist]

o/

[hidden patrol]

Satisfactory Server
7777
Both
192.168.1.10
7777
Always

[hidden patrol]

This is the forward rule on my router with the correct (static) local address

[quick mist]

I inferred, that looked like a copypasta-munged port forwarding rule.

[hidden patrol]

Get-NetUDPEndPoint shows 192.168.1.10:7777

[quick mist]

UDP is still timing out, so since you've double-checked the firewall rule, that doesn't leave many other possibilities:

• The server is not actually running or listening. If it shows on Get-NetUDPEndpoint then it's running and listening on UDP (which you just verified)
• The Firewall rule is incorrect or disabled
• Something between your gateway and the greater internet is bocking the incoming connections.

[hidden patrol]

Hopefully that is legible

[quick mist]

It is.

presuming that your server is connected directly to your LAN to your router to the internet I'm not sure what else you can check locally. You're not using a VPN or other connection proxy like (ugh) Hamachi are you? Based on the IP subnet, I suspect not

That's a Comcast IP so I don't think we're dealing wtih CGNAT or the like

[hidden patrol]

I am not. Really the only thing that has changed is the game version. I've tried deleting and readding the rules on the router and in Windows Firewall, rebooted server and client machines, might have to shut down and pick back up in the morning. Thank you for your help.

[quick mist]

sorry we couldn't find the final solution.
In the morning, double-check your WAN and LAN IPs. Folks will still be here to help. Good luck!

[stone plover]

hey guys i just wanna make sure im doing this right.
i want to increase max players and what i did was go to FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
then i added
[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=8

[cyan cobalt]

Can friends join over steam if i setup the game via steamcmd and am logged in? Also how do i change the server to be joinable to at all for others

[hidden patrol]

I've never personally tried it but I had info that is as you described

[hidden patrol]

paste this line of code into a new line

[/Script/Engine.GameSession] MaxPlayers=16

but you can set to 8 players like you had

[formal juniper]

How to mask my ip?

[stone plover]

ok ty

[wide crystal]

Hello, does anyone have a problem with hosting a server for when they leave, the server shuts down entirely and has to be reset again?

[wide crystal]

I've set the game on no auto pause, and when i leave the server (as im host), the server shuts down and is unable to rejoin. So when I start up the server again the auto pause is reset back to on again.

[stone plover]

should i change the Engine.GameNetworkManager settings like the netbandwith stuff

[patent cedar]

If you are hosting and playing on the same machine there is a known issue that the host leaving will crash the server

[wide crystal]

oh wow

[vocal osprey]

Friend launched dedicated server on his laptop, he's been playing on the world, but when i put his ip and the port in, it says "server name pending, not authenticated"

[steep mist]

Does the IP start with 192 or 10?

[vocal osprey]

neither

its his ip we used for minecraft

[steep mist]

I'd ask if he port forwarded

[vocal osprey]

he did

[steep mist]

If not, he's probably got the same issue as me

[vocal osprey]

he port fowarded

[steep mist]

Is he able to connect using his own private IP?

[vocal osprey]

yes, hes connecting to the server with this local ip

[steep mist]

Darn, yeah I'm having the same issue. No clue as to why.

Pterodactyl server by chance?

[vocal osprey]

epic games

[steep mist]

I meant the server

[vocal osprey]

wdym

he used epic games tool

hosted on his own laptop

[steep mist]

Oh, huh

Well I hope that something can be found, because I'd love to get my server running as well

[wicked knot]

TCP and UDP?

[vocal osprey]

nvm

he fixed

it works now

[steep mist]

what did he do?

[vocal osprey]

baboon port fowarded the wrong port

[steep mist]

nice haha

side tangent, love the pfp. Oneshot was a terrific game

[wicked knot]

If you are going to have friends over for a party, they need the address

[thorny dew]

You can proxy connections, but it's not exactly beginner friendly

[stone plover]

hey guys

can a 7700k run a dedicated server smoothly?

[thorny dew]

yup

[outer fossil]

yes

[stone plover]

ok ty

do i need to set ram stuff like in minecraft?

or will it just use whatever it needs

[thorny dew]

Nah it'll just use what it wants to use

[stone plover]

bet

thx

[thorny dew]

Generally pretty low on ram consumption until later in the game

[stone plover]

how do i change network quality? i pressed apply on ultra but when i restarted the server it changed back to medium

[thorny dew]

Have to set it on a config file

[stone plover]

which file is that if you know?

[thorny dew]

FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini

FG.NetworkQuality

At least that's where it is for me

Should be somewhat similar even on windows

[stone plover]

im on linux too

[thorny dew]

[/Script/FactoryGame.FGGameUserSettings]
mIntValues=(("FG.NetworkQuality", 3))

For ultra

[stone plover]

ah ty i was confused for a sec

mine was at mIntValues=()

[thick quarry]

We are having an issue with blueprints crashing our server when being saved or cleared from the bp mk2 designer. Is this a known issue with 1.0?

[patent cedar]

Yes

[thorny dew]

@dusky wedge You might be interested in an update 🙂

Increased tick rate to 60

So yeah, seems like API is tied to the engine for now

Dropped the overhead by half

Maybe I could up the tick rate to 120 for fun

Of course, I also basically doubled CPU usage

So that's fun

[stone plover]

oo what does increasing tick rate do

[thorny dew]

Makes game run updates more often

[dusky wedge]

Mostly increase your CPU and network usage

[thorny dew]

TRUE

lol

Really nice when you do have the CPU headroom though

[stone plover]

so does it just make everything smoother?

if ur cpu can handle it

[thorny dew]

Yep

Looks like I can get the server moved back to a 7900 rather than the 3900x

Time to run 120 tps

[plucky cove]

I have tried everything I can figure out to get my friend to be able to join my dedicated server but nothing will work. I have Opened the ports through norton, bith UDP and TCP. I have have turned off my firewall completely. I can connect to my Server just fin but he can't no matter what

[hallow grotto]

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best hosting sites for AU?

[abstract garnet]

fuzzy did you redirect ports 7777 udp / tcp both

[plucky cove]

Yes

[abstract garnet]

what kind of an error do they get?

@plucky cove

[plucky cove]

Thay just dont see it, it shows upp as server pending

[abstract garnet]

I'm just making sure twice. You did port-forward from your router to your server?

[plucky cove]

Not exactly sure what that entails

[abstract garnet]

ah. Your local are network doesn't have public addresses. All your local area net devices show up under same IP to internet. You're probably behind NAT. And to address that, you need to port-forward from your router to your server 7777. This is normal in home networks. Or at least I assume this is the setup

check out what your default gateway it, go to that address with your browser, and check password/username from your router

login and setup port-forward

did you do this?=

[plucky cove]

I couldnt figure out my Router info but I will try doing it again when I can

[abstract garnet]

as in it's local ip address? Open startup menu, write cmd and to the prompt write ipconfig

look for default gateway from there

your username and password are likely printed onto the device

[plucky cove]

I couldnt find the username

[abstract garnet]

probably admin or something. But are you sure you didn't find the wlan password and ssid? Those are different most likely

[plucky cove]

it said admin password on the router

[abstract garnet]

oh.... then try admin for username

[plucky cove]

I did

[abstract garnet]

:< Well, you need to get access to your router settings to do this

[lucid oasis]

Anyone have any luck with Australia servers?
Only ones i can find are Nitrado, GTX and Aussie Server Hosts.

But im not sure what to go with.

[quartz jewel]

How do I allow more than 4 players on a dedicated server?

Used steamcmd to download the dedicated server to login anonymous. Have it going. Haven't tried more than 4 but just wanted to see how to do it if it doesn't already work.

[livid cliff]

Is he joining from "join game" or server manager in the main menu?

It took me a while to understand the difference

If he gets error "token missing" then that would be the issue

[mint junco]

[quartz jewel]

Thank you

[scarlet sentinel]

Does anyone got this issue with foundations still showing after being deconstructed?

It only goes away after restarting the server

[high ridge]

Hello guys, I made dome testing yesterday with my friends for my dedicated server. And sometimes we all have some rollbacks (we just started new game so there is no buildings yet). We all have this issue during the same time but when i check server ressources nothing strange (cpu is 20%, ram 50% and the disk is a SSD). I think this is linked to the game save (every 5 minutes). Does it happen to you guys or only on my side ? Is there any clue that i can check to try to fix this ?

[scarlet sentinel]

It might be the server network

[high ridge]

Network is good, it's on the same network as my client computer. I tried to set network setting to high but nothing changes we have rollback/lag behavior by wave all in the same time for like 10-15 sec and after it's good

[regal marsh]

any idea whether network quality matters for dedicated server?
whether I set it ingame or manually in the file
it only lasts until 1 restart
then it gets removed from the file and network quality is medium
a bug?

[thorny dew]

You have to set it via the ini files

[regal marsh]

thats what I meant "in the files"

[thorny dew]

If it's every 5 minutes then yeah that falls in line with the autosave

[regal marsh]

but it removes it

I have to set it before every server restart

after its shutdown, before start

[thorny dew]

You can use startup flags

[regal marsh]

is there a startup flag for network quality?

[regal marsh]

oh right

will try thx

well guess this does not work
its a bit tricky option in how to define it there 😄
-ini:GameUserSettings:[/Script/FactoryGame.FGGameUserSettings]:mIntValues=(("FG.SendGameplayData", 0), ("FG.NetworkQuality", 3))

neither
-ini:GameUserSettings:[/Script/FactoryGame.FGGameUserSettings]:mIntValues=(("FG.NetworkQuality", 3))

[dense ridge]

Anyone have satisfactory crash on you, then when logging into the dedicated server again, the server doesn't recognize that you have played on that server and spawns you in the hub with an empty inventory?

[dusty tangle]

When you game crashes, the server is not notified that you left. So it thinks that your previous instance is still on the server.

[dense ridge]

True

[dusty tangle]

Solution: after crash, wait for 2-3 minutes before joining back. I don't know the exact time.

[dense ridge]

Is there any way to get your inv back?

Without finding your ghost and killing it?

[dusty tangle]

If you join after the server found that you have left, you do not spawn as a new instance.
If you have already joined as a new instance, try leaving and joining back.

If the latter does not help, find and kill.

[quasi ferry]

Anyone having trouble with pipes on dedicated? I'm having to rebuild whole networks because it keeps getting bugged at 0 flow rate, eventho it worked perfectly before, and works after rebuilding the entire network the exact same... Seemingly, anything built onto pipes,, like valves, junktions and even floor/wallholes seem to cause this... Its also not a UI bug, refineries sit at 0 input

[dense ridge]

This seems like an issue that should be fixed. Like if someone joins with the same steam/epic id, then they are considered the same and you are either not allowed to login or the other one is logged off

We had this issue before 1.0, and due to the amount of crashes it was basically unplayable in combination with this issue

[dusty tangle]

Are the pipes filled by a correct fluid?

[quasi ferry]

yes

[quasi ferry]

I've double checked, so did my mates. Currently, I'm running JUST water to my refinery for aluminium, and the flowrate is fine, but as soon as the flow finds a valve, anything afterr that is 0 flow rate,, however, the pipes register that the contents are water. Valves arent limited to 0. So I removed the valve, same thing happens with junktions. Removed junktions. Same thing happens with wall and floor holes. After rebuilding the refineries and the network it usually works again but this is really fricking annoying

[dusty tangle]

Can't tell anything, have not experienced this problem.

[quasi ferry]

Well, if someone else has this issue,, the only thing that works for me is to ditch the floor and wall holes - they seem to be primarily causing this issue. This makes pipe management ugly, but at least it seems to work more reliably

[deep turret]

that you change from server manager

oddly enough it does not save it if you don't close manually then restart

it may struggle to restart

[regal marsh]

yeah thats the issue

if I change it in server manager I have to restart
and when I restart its reverted to default 😄

[deep turret]

I don't remember if you need to quit or not

[tough venture]

Yes, it was very annoying. It started late last night, had not seen it before then. Could also not copy previously placed foundations. But if i made new ones i could copy them.

[deep turret]

you are on Linux ?

[regal marsh]

I restart by typing quit in the (new) interactive console
windows

[deep turret]

the then stop doing that

shut it down then restart

[regal marsh]

like how

[deep turret]

I know it's weird but it does not save with quit

close the window

ctrl c

idk

[regal marsh]

ctrl c is a graceful restart

[deep turret]

do not quit console

[regal marsh]

should be similar to quit

[tough venture]

Yup, this happened to me too, but i have crashed multiple times without it forgetting who i am too, remebemer that you can kill your clone and pick up your gear.

[regal marsh]

closing the window would kill it more drastically yeah

[deep turret]

yes and now
technically will never be the same
should be equivalent : yes
is currently equivalent : well it seems no

[desert plover]

Hello, i have a specific question, do you think Servers Hosters can add mod support in their panel with the SMM API ? With a mod list for the version installed, exporting the mod profil to give it to the players and so on ? Or the API doesn't allow that ?

[deep turret]

this is modding specific question

ask the modding community

[nimble wraith]

As of now (I’ve already checked for ours) I don’t believe so, since the smm loader isn’t CLI based from what I saw

If that ever changes, that’s gonna be on my todo nearly instantly lol but for now I don’t think it can (happy to be proved wrong)

[deep turret]

I should get that fiscit command list some day

[nimble wraith]

https://discord.ficsit.app

Wow the bot didn’t yell at me

That’s crazy

[desert plover]

Can't we do an hand made manager in a panel with the API ?

[nimble wraith]

Mmmm does SMM have a workable API? I haven’t looked into the API added in 1.0 by CS tbf

[desert plover]

https://github.com/mircearoata/SatisfactoryModManagerAPI

[nimble wraith]

Ah neato I’ll give it a read, sec

[desert plover]

Seems too old

2 years ago sadly

[nimble wraith]

Yeah quite outdated

[desert plover]

Maybe this https://api.ficsit.app/swagger/doc.json

[deep turret]

^ just go there

[desert plover]

Yeah i will go and ask them

[frozen comet]

Hi what are best hosting for satisfactory server ??

[deep turret]

your own hardware

if you have spare one and its good enough

[frozen comet]

naaah i mean something like a server hosting i will pay monthly

[deep turret]

there are plenty options, plenty of bad ones as well

[frozen comet]

yes thats why im here , what is a good option dont care about money just quality

[deep turret]

it depends what you want to pay, your time, your geolocation, your skill/learning of hosting yourself

[frozen comet]

dont care about money so netherlands best geolocation

something i dont need do anything just pay it and i can play

[deep turret]

ok then game server hosting services

[frozen comet]

do you know witch one?

[deep turret]

there is indifferentbroccoli which people said is good

[regal marsh]

Hetzner
but you get a full dedicated and have to set it up

[deep turret]

they specifically asked for click and play options

[regal marsh]

ah yeah then nvm 😄

but thats quality 😄 (and also cheapest dedis with latest hardware you can get)

[cold estuary]

nitrado is good

[deep turret]

there have been a load of people complaining about nitrado with satisfactory here
