[outer fossil]

microtik my beloved

[silver cedar]

how much network bandwidth should i have? i got 4 players.

5Mbs enough?

5Mbps

[outer fossil]

it should be fine

actually, i can do that

[unique gulch]

so im running my server though steam and im having some serious lag/latency. when i try to update the network qualtiy though the game console it doesnt take. i have a dedicated machine to run it that meets the requirements any suggestions to help with latency

[wild topaz]

Does anyone know how to get blueprints I've downloaded to show up on my dedicated server?

1. I have all the BP's in my local folder and they show up in a single player game
2. I have the same blueprints in the same folder (and structure) as my local, but on the server itself.

• \AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\blueprints<server game name>

3. I have T7/8 unlocked (along with MK 1 & MK 2 blueprints) and the downloaded BP's are from T5/6 or lower and from a 1.0 game.
4. I have restarted/saved/restarted again... and again numerous times for both my local and dedicated server
5. I can make a BP in-game and it appears in my local blueprints, but nothing is made in the dedicated server. I had to manually add the BP folder to the server

They just dont show up, and I've tried all suggestions from google, reddit, and other Satisfactory discords.. nothing has worked so far

[hollow berry]

Did you restart the server after making the change? It didn't seem to take on my server till after a restart.

[unique gulch]

yea i tried that and it defualts to medium quality

im not opposed to changing the config files manually i just need to be pointed in the right direction

[hollow berry]

Have you tried through the server manager? The settings panel in server manager, not the console.

[unique gulch]

the server is hooked up via eathernet

oh yea yea yea i have tried the server manager console

as well

[hollow berry]

But in server manager you can also make this change without using the console. Just pushing that since it is what I have used, haven't tried via console

[unique gulch]

i was able to uncheck the send game play data but when i try to change the network setting it still doesnt change

even after a restar

so server manager>server>server settings>network quality is stuck on medium for some reason

should i reinstall the server?

[regal marsh]

its bugged

have to set it before you start in the ini file

every time

[unique gulch]

oh okay

lame

[regal marsh]

make sure server is off and then set it in ini

[unique gulch]

kkk

[regal marsh]

hmm maybe one way could be to replace the medium one here
#dedicated-servers message
(until they fix the resetting)

I didnt try that though

guess medium is 1
ultra 3
would have to copy 3 values on the 1

[unique gulch]

Oddly enough there was no data in the scalability.ini file

So I added it from the default profile you linked too

[regal marsh]

yeah empty on the client and empty on the server 🤷‍♂️

[hard lantern]

somone accidentally changed the defaults in my server

jesus help me, how the hell do I get it back, default is ORANGE?

I miss my grey foundations.

[regal marsh]

yeah the damn paint sync is not great
I didnt use it yet
but I heard from my other players that there are issues where one guy selects the paint and it changes it to everyone in some way
I guess when using the custom option, instead of the swatches

[dusty vortex]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Customizer#Colors
take a look at the 'swatch' colours

building have 'swatches' applied... this is a global colour setting, adjusting the 'swatch' colours means all buildings that used that swatch will change to the updated colours

[deep turret]

exactly, you said it well, I was about to try saying it like that but me saying it would have been just even more confusing, you did well

[trim minnow]

Are there any specific hardware components recommended ?

[acoustic pecan]

Is anyone else getting desync between client and server?

[regal marsh]

in some cases yes

like dismantling foundations sometimes

[acoustic pecan]

i managed to make a tractor dissapear

[regal marsh]

does not fully remove it visually on client

[acoustic pecan]

and its path is still saying

but tractor is gone lol

[regal marsh]

check the world origin
in the middle

they sometimes get reset there

[acoustic pecan]

ooo

middle being?

[dusty vortex]

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

[regal marsh]

but I had a player on my server ask to use editor to get it out of there
but later they just disappeared from there before I had a chance to do it (not sure if we got them back)

[acoustic pecan]

weird

[charred atlas]

Anyone else getting a server crash on auto Restart? I get 100% consistency here, says its restarting, but then poof, gone.

[deep mortar]

I don't suppose there's a console restart command?

[dusty vortex]

to my own knowledge, no, https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Console_commands

[regal marsh]

could do quit and then some process watcher or service starts it up
but not sure how you would trigger that ingame restart

[deep mortar]

I'm running a docker container, so i can just restart that. but I'd be happier if I didn't have to log into the portainer interface to restart

[regal marsh]

well if it was starting it up inside the docker when it stops
then it would start up after quit
but not sure how the docker satisfactory is set up

[dusty vortex]

can you not use the built in restart 'interval' (actually a UTC Clock) ?

that would restart it every day at the defined UTC time

[deep mortar]

I just saw your messages earlier RE: updating the docker container to local time so the "clock" makes sense (24 being midnight local time) and I did fix that. But I'm talking about when i change server settings that require a reboot.

or, "my server is mucking up for some reason"

not just standard "i'd like to restart periodically"

[regal marsh]

just need some service inside the docker that would watch over it and start it
I have a .cmd on windows doing that, so I can just quit

[frosty gale]

setup like a watchdog or run the server as a service so it just auto restarts when you exit

[dusty vortex]

understood, in theory config files should not need to be changed to often, but the oh i think it needs a kick is valid enough, tho no restart command available via console and not via the API either.

[deep mortar]

booo

[deep mortar]

There are lots of ways i could rig something. I was just hoping for something built in.

[dusty vortex]

setting up as a service or a watchdog would likely be your best bets.... just be sure to issue some save command before you stop/exit/quit.

[reef crane]

I've also had vehicles get teleported to coordinates 0,0 on the map. Most likely desynced and fell through the world or something

[regal marsh]

pretty usual that servers in games just stop or have a quit command
and you need something to start it up

[frosty gale]

I mean why do you want to restart the server anyway

[deep mortar]

I listed reasons above

server settings adjustments/general kick the tires because the car is wobbling kind of restarts

[frosty gale]

I mean does the servers auto restart apply restart settings

[regal marsh]

its normal to want to have a way to simply restart it 😄

really dont need reasons 😄

but you just need that service in a docker

I dont think I know any game with dedi which you can just restart (only quit and something starts it up)

[frosty gale]

minecraft if you use a 3rd party jar

[regal marsh]

never done that one 😄

but source games are the same

[deep mortar]

It all falls into the category of 'First World Problems' - "Oh no! My video game I play on my PC, that I also run on my server entirely for myself so my main PC doesn't heat up the house overnight when i let my factory run doesn't have any easy button to restart"

[regal marsh]

while yeah they could have added an ability to manually restart it in the same way as that autorestart
would be nice

[dusty vortex]

The HTTP API supports the save and shutdown commands... https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/HTTPS_API
so maybe you can jery rig something up with them, that then follows up with a request to start the process again.

[regal marsh]

guessing shutdown = quit 😄

[frosty gale]

youd have to make your own api

which then uses the servers api

[regal marsh]

If automatic restart script is setup, this allows restarting the server to apply new settings or update.

I guess by "automatic restart script" they mean something like a service to start it up

[frosty gale]

yes

[regal marsh]

so thats not the part he is looking for
since thats just like quit
but he needs something to start it up again

[white topaz]

Hello everyone
I have set up a server and wanted to ask whether there is a function so that the server is always online and continues to process the resources. I don't know where I have to change this or whether it is even possible.
Thank you for the help

[deep mortar]

Now my docker container is set to auto restart, but since you need to use the "unless stopped" flag so you can update the image, when you "quit" it won't auto restart

[regal marsh]

you would need something inside the container

[deep mortar]

in the server manager, look for "pause when no player active"

and turn that off

[regal marsh]

did you set up the docker yourself, or downloaded from somewhere?
a bit weird if it does not have anything inside watching and starting it
then any issue might just put it down

[dusty vortex]

after you add the server to the server manager, check out the various options, there is one that is 'pause' world when no players are connected, pretty sure its just a tick box

[deep mortar]

@regal marsh it's the wolveix container

[regal marsh]

then they did a poor job 😄 (if its not watching over the process)

[deep mortar]

ironically, it's the docker container pointed to in the wiki

[dusty vortex]

many would disagree, and while a feature/configuration is desirable for some select users does not means its desirable by all.
but it does provide a solid base for others to adjust accordingly.

[deep mortar]

If the server crashes, then the container does auto-restart

but if you manually quit, it triggers the "Hey, this was intentional" flag in docker

Also, to Delphium's point, it's got all the "needs" not all the "wants"

Though I do "need" my foliage to actually dissapear when i use my chainsaw, but I don't think that's Wolveix's fault

[regal marsh]

I mean if it restarts after crashing then it does have something watching over it
so ignore what I said then
its just that it expects that quit is not for starting it up again after that

[dusky wedge]

Iirc, it will run an update whenever the container is started. That’s independent of the restart policy

If you’d like it to always restart, there’s a convenient always policy

[deep mortar]

I was wondering about that actually.

So to keep satisfactory itself up to date, i don't need to constantly refresh the container

I'm admittedly still fairly new at Docker and my Omada Controller won't update itself, so I've just come to assume that servers need to manually rebuilt for every update

[dusky wedge]

If the game files were baked into the container, you’d need to pull a new image for each server version

[regal marsh]

just if there is something watching over the process
I would always expect a quit command to start it up
thats how I set up my servers in many games and thats how I have seen other servers being set up
so it would also be unexpected to me
(process not running, start it up...unless you disable some service or something)

[dusky wedge]

But the container is configured to store the actual game files externally, so those are independent of the actual image

[deep mortar]

Gotcha. So I only need to update the container when the core container has an update change (like the troubleshooting around the API error)

So here's a different question. I can ping my server over my lan for <1ms, but satisfactory shows a 19-20ms ping. is this normal?

[dusky wedge]

Yes

[deep mortar]

Ok, good. Wanted to make sure I didn't have a config error poking around somewhere.

[dusky wedge]

It is my guess that networking is handled on a per-tick basis. At 30 ticks per second, that’s 33.3… ms per tick. Since your request is going to come in at some random point in that interval, the expected wait time is half the interval or ~16ms

[deep mortar]

That is supported by my lows being around 15 ms

I imagine we can't up-tick .. that.. 😛

[regal marsh]

you actually added the local ip to the server manager, right?

[deep mortar]

Yeah. I have a nameserver running so i can just use "homelab"

[dusky wedge]

You can adjust the ticks per second, increases your CPU usage and network requirements proportionally

[deep mortar]

instead of having to remember the ip

[deep mortar]

ooooooo

I like unecessary boosts

all the ticks!

Thank you for the patience everyone

[dusky wedge]

https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server?tab=readme-ov-file#environment-variables

It’s the max tick rate one

No warranty expressed or implied

[acoustic pecan]

i assume its tped there even if ive never been there?

[deep mortar]

no! When it breaks I'm gonna be all "Marko said it was fine!"

[dusky wedge]

In which case, I’ll gladly refund your purchase, with interest

[acoustic pecan]

is there a way to tp to 0,0 using commands?

[stoic stream]

wtf come on

server crashed, omg

[deep mortar]

Damn right! That's what I expect to hea.. wait...

So Max tick rate set lower make ping go down

potentially

Wait no. it's persecond

so higher

[regal marsh]

yes

updates per second

[hexed zephyr]

what

[deep mortar]

I've noticed that since they redid some of the environments there are a bunch of collision issues

[hexed zephyr]

this funny

[deep mortar]

Also, bravo for discovering Fixit's new phase technology. Ficsit will not be held liable for injury or dismemberment

[midnight sonnet]

still no fix to poor tickrate?

[deep mortar]

aroo?

[regal marsh]

for me on ryzen 7700, 4 threads (2 dedicated cores...VM)
60 ticks
seems when there are 5 players it goes down to 40 (4 players 50)
much higher usage on 60
(just got to the trains, we do have few bases)

[dusky wedge]

Mostly dominated by single core CPU performance, that situation is unlikely to change

[midnight sonnet]

i thought i7-8700 will be enough for completion

[dusky wedge]

What tier are you in and how crazy have y’all gone?

That seems to have similar single core performance as mine and ours has been good as we approach the end of phase 3

[reef crane]

Its not there. I've checked. Most likely fell through the world or something

[midnight sonnet]

tier 7-8 but borderline unplayable

[acoustic pecan]

so how can i get rid of the path nodes its left behind

do I have to manualyl go through and delete each one

[midnight sonnet]

still playing with network quality setting but can't say how it will help

[reef crane]

No clue. I still have mine there

[acoustic pecan]

pain

[midnight sonnet]

did you change game.ini or engine.ini?

[dusky wedge]

No, only to raise the max players

[solid abyss]

you get 60 ticks? I have been stuck at 30

[regal marsh]

well if you increase the setting

[solid abyss]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh

[dusky wedge]

It’s capped at 30 by default, you’d need to raise that cap to see higher

[solid abyss]

assuming that's in the config

[regal marsh]

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

[solid abyss]

ty

[dusky wedge]

I should write a Prometheus exporter so I can track the performance and other data

Another idea for the non-decreasing pile of ideas

[scenic birch]

anyone else getting this error in linux when starting the dedicated server?

Ran out of memory allocating 7021781869455765504 bytes with alignment 65536. Last error msg: errno=12 (Cannot allocate memory).

[dusky wedge]

How much memory does your system have available?

Though 7 exabytes of RAM seems a bit excessive

[regal marsh]

oh right lol

[dusky wedge]

A mere 9 orders of magnitude larger than the amount of ram I might expect you to have

[midnight harness]

Does this increase game speed?

[dusky wedge]

It mostly just raises your electric bill slightly

[regal marsh]

no it just makes the server update/process everything more often per second

[midnight harness]

Is there any benefit?

[deep mortar]

Man. I was secretly hoping setting my server time to match my client would resolve the shrubbery not going away problem

it did not

[regal marsh]

mostly not noticeable

Note that the game's default tick rate is good for most scenarios. Increasing it will not help with lags - if the hardware can't hit the default 30, increasing it won't help. ```

[scenic birch]

looks like it was a corrupted save maybe

[dusky wedge]

I have not seen this and it’s clearly an unphysical amount of ram. Is this a fresh save or an existing one

[deep mortar]

setting to 60 got my ping down from 16-20 to about 8-9. It doesn't change the game any, but it makes my heart happy.

[regal marsh]

matters more in FPS games where every milisecond matters (not satisfactory at all)

[midnight harness]

I only use dedicated servers to continue producing in the background 😅
So I guess I really don't need to think about tick rate

[rapid spindle]

I fixed the network quality resetting to medium by editing GameUserSettings.ini and setting the file to read only (Do note this is not recommended, as the file will not get updated with future patches. You'll have to enable write access again.)

Change mIntValues=(("FG.DisableSeasonalEvents", 0),("FG.SendGameplayData", 0)) to
mIntValues=(("FG.DisableSeasonalEvents", 0),("FG.SendGameplayData", 0), ("FG.NetworkQuality", 3))

Replace the ("FG.NetworkQuality", 3) with the option of your choosing 0 to 3. The config has mNetworkQuality=3 set in it, but it doesn't do anything. Typo or bug I guess.

[regal marsh]

it also quite heavily increases the CPU usage

[deep mortar]

Same.. I'm just... well... some guys put nitrous in cars they drive to work... me? I install gen 4 ssd's in a server with 40mb io requirements...

[dusky wedge]

This is the way

[regal marsh]

yeah but it will reset on your next server restart

[midnight harness]

Relatable 😂

[rapid spindle]

It did not for me. Running the docker image

[regal marsh]

I guess you would be the only one then 😄

unless docker shuts it down in some weird way where it does not reset

[rapid spindle]

I was experimenting with killing the server a few different ways before, so it might have been that

[regal marsh]

I am gonna be trying to just put this into scalability.ini and replace the other numbers with values from 3

#dedicated-servers message

just not sure why its empty by default on client and server

to make the medium ultra
so it does not matter that it resets

[rapid spindle]

Actually, I think what it was was setting the file to read only

I just restarted after adding write permissions back to the file, and it reset to medium again

[regal marsh]

guess that might do it
also read you shouldnt 😄

[solid abyss]

holy crap does it lol

double to tickrate, doubled the cpu usage

lol

[regal marsh]

yeah it does
but it will go down if the hardware cant handle it

[solid abyss]

good thing this is a fairly modern server

fairly....

ok it's like 4 year old xeons.

but it's fine

xD

[regal marsh]

Always make ini edit changes with the server shut down. The ini files are written to on graceful shutdown, and you may find your changes overwritten otherwise.```guess just because of the updates

[regal marsh]

seems to me that the more players join, the worse the usage will get

[rapid spindle]

Ah, I was wondering what you meant. I think it's worth it for the benefit right now. I'm trying to alleviate the "ghost foundations" bug some of my friends are getting. Haven't been able to test if ultra reduces it or not

I can always change the permission and force an update later

[regal marsh]

yeah the foundations sometimes dont dismantle
I am kinda fighting the same thing (well just experimenting whether anything helps)

[solid abyss]

yeah I've given it only 4 cores so far, might bump that to 6 just to be safe

it won't freak out if I just shut the VM down, add 2 cores, and start it back up right?

[regal marsh]

should be fine

[solid abyss]

bet

[deep mortar]

ok. I'm off to try and build a copper sheets factory through the underbrush

have fun all

[solid abyss]

i just got to aluminum....

oh boy

last time I tried doing water recycling on a server it didn't work out well....

[deep mortar]

Aluminium is not my favorite phase

[solid abyss]

it's a right of passage

it's like "this will suck, but when it's done, you're gonna have the most fun"

[deep mortar]

I was watching a streamer who had very little experience, building out their coal power plant

They were putting all their plants in their own platform and running the water pipes over the factories

it wasn't even spaghetti

it was intentional

they were trying to make it look pretty and all I can think is... nooooooooo

cries in headlift

[solid abyss]

oof

also

increasing the cores...

yeah it seems to not have liked that

lol

the services are just crashlooping now

oof

[regal marsh]

weird, I usually dont have any issues with that on VMs (did it in the past on vmware, and also now on proxmox...linux/windows, no issues)

[solid abyss]

lemme see if changing it back helps

damn

rushed too and didn't snapshot like a idiot...

:?

ok well rip maybe that's unrelated

[placid kettle]

What's your hypervisor?

I ran into the service crash-looping on Proxmox. Found out the VM CPU type needs to be "host"

[wraith current]

hi guys, is it possible to set admin pw and hostname when booting up the server? i read on wiki it is but im having issues on working it out

[regal marsh]

yeah I always use host

[placid kettle]

Other types might work, but the default certainly didn't

[regal marsh]

so its directly using the CPU

[deep turret]

4 is enough

[solid abyss]

yeah i did too, but set it to host

[solid abyss]

"enough"

[deep turret]

it's always kind of using the cpu directly

[solid abyss]

i'm at 75% usage with 1 person rn

[unreal crystal]

it's single core threaded so more doesnt help anyways

[deep turret]

are you on linux ?

[regal marsh]

well I guess yeah
but you got the most features on host (most of what you read says it might increase performance...but if you use clusters it might not be good)

[solid abyss]

yes

[deep turret]

it's about setting

[deep turret]

% is per thread by default

full load on 4 cpu is 400%

[solid abyss]

?

fam

this is in the proxmox summary

but

ok

regardless

it won't even start the services now

again.....

[deep turret]

how much ram

[solid abyss]

12gb

fam it ran fine for 2 weeks

i increased the core count, it died.

now i put it back

still dead

[deep turret]

run htop in your vm and see what

[solid abyss]

we love it

[placid kettle]

@solid abyss what is the output of sudo journalctl -xeu satisfactory

[solid abyss]

out of all the things i've ever hosted, i really feel like i can't breath on this thing without it dieing

lol

[deep turret]

without the x please

x removes usefull info

[solid abyss]

i gotta goto work

i reallly don't have time to play sysadmin atm

but thank you for the help

[deep turret]

I mean, this have literally 0 thing to do with satisfactory

[regal marsh]

seems like well explained

[solid abyss]

sure

lol

i beg to differ

IE... the official dedicated server wiki doesn't even specify that the saved game directory is hidden.

just gotta figure that out on your own

:>

[deep turret]

it literally says the game directory is ~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/

[regal marsh]

that appdata is always hidden
but if you use the path they give you
it will take you there
%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server

or linux

are files even hidden on linux?

[solid abyss]

sure and to someone that uses linux on passing, it specifies nothing that this is a hidden directory, or how to access it

ls -a

or it doesn't show up

[deep turret]

man is complaining about doplhin or windows file explorer or something saying it's a satisfactory wiki problem

[solid abyss]

yeah sure

the documentation is elementary tier

thank god for reddit

[deep turret]

You are complaining the satisfactory wiki does not give you a whatever file browsing tool lesson

you are elementary tier

[regal marsh]

~ = home directory

[solid abyss]

no shit

[regal marsh]

so how its hidden?

[solid abyss]

ls is the regular listing command on linux

ls -a is required to see the .config directory

one might assume it doesn't exist

[deep turret]

one may not know how to use ls

[solid abyss]

so if you're at home, and you do ls

it's not there

[deep turret]

one may not use ls at all

[regal marsh]

so you look at wiki and find out 😄

[turbid hound]

Anybody else experiencing issues when trying to apply patterns to foundations?

[solid abyss]

unless you just do cd ~.config/

you wouldn't find it

dumb

[turbid hound]

They either do not apply at all or apply in the wrong orientation

[deep turret]

it's not even ~.config/ but ~/.config/ but ok

[solid abyss]

fam i'm in the middle of getting dressed

suck it

[lean loom]

Sorry for derailing the current back and forth. Did they fix the last client leaving the server effectively closing down the server’s ability to ‘advertise itself’ as being online.

[solid abyss]

i do this for a living

this documentation is ass

[deep turret]

how ask you for writing a message in the middle of "getting" dressed ?

you can only pissed at yourself

[tired ether]

anyone had the bug where they are suddenly holding nothing and cannot build?

[regal marsh]

documentation gives you the path, what else could it do ? 😄

[solid abyss]

you're out here arguing nitty details on a example

[turbid hound]

Yeah, only "fix" I found was relogging

Very annoying bug

[tired ether]

Even relogging doesn't fix for me. I have to restart the server.

[solid abyss]

there are multiple things on the dedicated server's wiki that are outdated now because of 1.0

[deep turret]

? arguing nitty details ? like not documenting an external tool that is not required inside the satisfactory wiki ?

you want to document yourslef go

its there buddy

[solid abyss]

fam why would you hide the same game directory???

[turbid hound]

Weird. I've had the bug happen in Update 8 servers aswell so it does not seem like a new issue to me

[solid abyss]

that's the fucking issue

damn

[slow smelt]

if you cant figure out that a file might be hidden or how to see it, you might not want to use linux

[solid abyss]

i'm done here

this stupid

[deep turret]

the game directory is not hidded but keep trying

[solid abyss]

seriously is the worst service i've ever hosted... this beats pbxs

it really is

[solid abyss]

it is hidden

you can go fucking look

[deep turret]

it's not, it just isnt shown by ls by default

[slow smelt]

its crazy how no else seems to have a problem except for you here

[regal marsh]

technically also hidden on windows
since thats where apps usually store config and stuff, into hidden appdata

[solid abyss]

lol

nice edit

[slow smelt]

(tbf that is kind of hidden ngl)

[solid abyss]

saw that

[deep turret]

ls is far from the only tool

[solid abyss]

is is 100% the most common tool to list directories.,...

are fuckjing kidding

[deep turret]

and btw just writing ls ~/.config/Epic for instance does show FactoryGame

[slow smelt]

yeah no I get you, but it not being shown by ls can be kind of hard/confusing for some beginners

[deep turret]

but the problem is not struggling on things like this

the problem is claiming it's a satisfactory wiki problem

[solid abyss]

you can't paste into VNC so I do cd's one step at a time to avoid fucking up and fat fgingering

so screw me for thinking I should verify the directory exists

[deep turret]

man if you dont know how to go to windows control panel in win11 for instance, it's not a wiki issue, if it says "go to windows control panel", you can google that

[dark sentinel]

🍿

[tardy turtle]

how does the keep inventory setting work? is it a client side only setting? can the dedicated server force it to be a particular setting?

[lean loom]

Right?

[dark sentinel]

it's a flag you can set while creating a game

[deep turret]

for the second question I think : no

[unreal crystal]

does this for a living

Is wondering why a . folder is hiding on linux.

[deep turret]

it's showing as free option in 1.0 now

[regal marsh]

arent you late for work?

[unreal crystal]

blames.... CSG?

[solid abyss]

got about 10min

[dark sentinel]

ah, okay, cool didn't know yet

[ancient bison]

@frosty gale we've updated it so it now supports all the methods (incl downloading/uploading), plus some other general changes

[tardy turtle]

weird, so players on my server can just choose to always keep their inventory?

[frosty gale]

I noticed yea

looks nice

[solid abyss]

you know what actually, fuck this.

later

[deep turret]

tbh got sruprised by that, imo the keep full inventory should still be behind advanced settings, it kind of is breaking the go check your crate downside of dying / preventing on purpose death to tp back

[unreal crystal]

👋 good luck learning the linux file structure system

[wraith current]

is it possible to set servername and admin password prior to anyone connecting to the server? on the wiki says its possible in ServerSettings.ini but i cant get it to work

[deep turret]

maybe they done that to lower the potential angriness if people were experiencing go through floors issues and the like

[dark sentinel]

Totally agree on you

And indeed it's a player setting

[deep turret]

apparently

[regal marsh]

I also heard its clientside
not sure where I heard/read it though

[dark sentinel]

If it were client sided wouldn't a duplicated chest appear for other players to claim?

My guess would be that this setting is honored by the server to let anyone know

Thus a chest not spawning for players that changed that setting

[tardy turtle]

if it actually works that way, its probably implemented as the player itself creating the chest and inserting the contents

[dark sentinel]

wild

[regal marsh]

well I guess it only applies to you
so not in the way that it would affect other clients because of your setting, or you seeing them with your setting (maybe clientside might not be the best way to explain it then)

[dark sentinel]

I see

It appears to be a player setting and not a server setting indeed

[tardy turtle]

i guess thats the same with creature hostility as well. seems kinda broken

[dark sentinel]

I found out in 0.8

it stripes away a whole element in the game

should be server sided imo

[deep turret]

[rustic epoch]

Hey guys, I got a few warnings from my server and I dont know what it is^^ Someone can help/explain to me pls?

Some other warnings:

[2024.09.17-16.57.34:222][388]LogSave: Warning: New/Old Root size mismatch!

The second one is not a warning, but spams the server console. What is it?

Thanks guys for your time^^

[deep turret]

"go fight the wild with me"
your friend : *petting the uranium spitter that is rushing you right now*

breaks the gameplay

[dark sentinel]

literally my 0.8 experience lmao

[tender thicket]

waddap dawgs

[fallow idol]

anyone having the server pause issue? Where if the option to pause server when no players are on, the server shuts down and is unable to be connected to until a manual restart? only been a thing since 1.0 never had the issue before

[dark sentinel]

Doesn't happen to me

[tender thicket]

If the admin DCs from the server it freezes it up?

[fallow idol]

if any player leaves

[tender thicket]

thats a known issue if thats what ur referring to

[dark sentinel]

If I understand correctly you would like a clarification on some of the warnings

[tender thicket]

Are all ur players server admins?

[fallow idol]

no

[tender thicket]

Like do they have the admin password?

Ok weird

well there is a similar issue that is known

I wouldnt be surprised if they are similar in nature

[fallow idol]

and no known solution at the moment?

[rustic epoch]

Yes, idk what happened and it spammed my console so..idk :D

[dark sentinel]

I receive the same warnings

Some are easy to explain

Some I don't understand either

tbh

[tender thicket]

not that ive heard of no

[dark sentinel]

I ignored them

[fallow idol]

and its only related to the pause when disconnected feature? or if you disable pause it works as intended?

[tacit oak]

can someone relate when deleting a build blueprint that the server crashes?

[fallow idol]

wonder if I delete the server and reconnect but dont enable admin if it'll work

[tender thicket]

Someone has to be admin so

[fallow idol]

ah

[tender thicket]

Maybe it can be done through the API? Idk

But someone has to claim the server and therefore be admin

[uneven crescent]

What commands does the Server Manager Console accept?

[tender thicket]

thats gonna be a wiki search i reckon

[dark sentinel]

Command    Description
Stat FPS    Toggles the FPS counter on the right side of the screen.
t.MaxFPS <VAL>    Sets the max FPS, when set to 0, it will have no cap.
ToggleDebugOverlay    Toggles a utility screen to see a large amount of in-game information such as position, playtime, and world time.
Suicide    Forces a player respawn, which is useful when stuck.

Command    Description
r.ViewDistanceScale <SCALE>    Changes the render distance scale at which objects such as grass, rocks, and trees are visible. By default, it is set to 1.
r.Atmosphere <0/1>    Toggles atmosphere on or off.
r.Fog <0/1>    Toggles fog on or off.
r.ScreenPercentage <VAL>    Changes the screen resolution scale. By default, it is set to 100.
*Note: This only affects the world rendering, not the UI.
FOV <Val>    Used to change the field of view (FOV).
Gamma <VAL>    Sets the brightness level.

[unreal crystal]

yea; you have to go into SCIM and delete the corrupted buildings; then also delete the corrupted blueprint or you'll be in for a repeat later

blueprints are janky but also not; given how few people complain

[uneven crescent]

but ain't those client console commands? whenever i input something all i get is "unknown console command"

[deep turret]

the dedicated server is still pretty much a stripped down version of the base game, running boosted multiplayer and networking layer, with increased server hardware compatibility
so some warning are outputted that warn about the graphic, audio, and normal game behavior not being honored

[dark sentinel]

Server manager

[tacit oak]

what is the scim?

[unreal crystal]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

[deep turret]

a third party online save file editor and analyzer

[uneven crescent]

here, right?

[tacit oak]

ah ok thx

[rustic epoch]

Okay thanks, so I can ignore this?

[dark sentinel]

Yes

[deep turret]

unless you crash you can likely ignore the thing inside the logs

[dark sentinel]

Write r.Fog i.e.

[tacit oak]

can i just leave the buildings there and delete the blueprint?

[rustic epoch]

okay ty

[unreal crystal]

no; one of the buildings is the corrupted affix; so clean off the blueprint bldgs in SCIM; then delete the lbueprint in game and probably try to remake it... if you're feeling spicy

[uneven crescent]

And why does stuff like "Stat FPS" or "Suicide" dont work?

[dark sentinel]

Some are client sided

There's two consoles

Server and client

[deep turret]

because it's not a client console

[uneven crescent]

And what you've sent are the server console commands, right?

[dark sentinel]

mixed

[deep turret]

there is only server console

[dark sentinel]

there is also client console

You only need to change a file to keybind it

"%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\Windows\Input.ini"

i.e. put [/script/engine.inputsettings] ConsoleKey=F8 in it

reload game

and open client console

[uneven crescent]

yeah, i did. but i was confused why most of the commands didnt work in the server console

[dark sentinel]

i see

there is just not much to do on console tbh

[deep turret]

this is more of a debugging tool

like for mots game servers
you prefer using pre-configured things and modules to set common actions rather than manually typing commands every time

unless you want commands for kicking players etc for which ui works great too

[viral canyon]

My selft hosted server just crashed and killed All of todays autosave files. We lost 20 hours

[uneven crescent]

not even a reboot/restart command?

[dark sentinel]

nop

[dark sentinel]

Is your host accesible?

[viral canyon]

Yes it's 5m next to me

[dark sentinel]

so you can just download the saves?

with accesible i meant SSH into it

or rdp

[viral canyon]

I can, yes. But it's no use as the auto-restart alsso nuked the backup saves

[atomic patio]

well thats not very good structure of backups

[dark sentinel]

ouch

[deep turret]

sounds more like your host system nuked itself than a satisfactory server crash

[viral canyon]

Nope it was just the Satisfactory server

[dark sentinel]

how are all auto saves nuked?

[deep turret]

why would it wipe saves ?

[dark sentinel]

auto-pause turned off?

[viral canyon]

I saved something in the blueprint designer and then it crashed

[dark sentinel]

I still dont see why auto saves are being removed by a restart

[deep turret]

sounds at least misconfigured update maybe ?
it does not delete anything but the next auto save file file

[viral canyon]

Neither do I

[dark sentinel]

docker?

[viral canyon]

Yes

[deep turret]

sounds like your docker structure tripped

[viral canyon]

there were 3 autosaves from the restart and the next oldest one was from yesterday 2am

[dark sentinel]

so a wild guess would be that the saves were not exposed and are within the docker

[viral canyon]

Checked the files, they all correspond with what the game is seeing

[uneven crescent]

Why does a restart turn auto pause back on?

[dark sentinel]

Don't know, didn't happen in 0.8 on my server

ah okay

[viral canyon]

And we played for an hour so there were plenty of autosaves in between

[steep bloom]

Hi I am using the -log -unattended and -newconsole on my startup command and its working but it shows the new and old console at the same time,
is there a way to make it only show the newconole? I have tried removing the -log but that didn't do it.

[dark sentinel]

so know we have a understanding of why saves are purged

and wehy are those saves unplayable?

[viral canyon]

They are playable

just lost 20h of searching for mercer spheres, sommersloops, hard drives, research

[deep turret]

I'm still convinced your docker tripped

[viral canyon]

On what basis?

[lament quarry]

anyone here have a solution to deleted items still being in the game?

[deep turret]

did you build your docker yourself ?

[lament quarry]

like foundations

[dark sentinel]

Try removing them with https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

[viral canyon]

Nope took a image from docker hub

[deep turret]

on the basis the server have no built-in function for deleting any saves but the current session next auto save named one

[viral canyon]

And upon the 24h auto restarts there were no issues

[deep turret]

you didn't use other systemd or steamcmd config ?

[viral canyon]

No

[lament quarry]

i mean when i relog on the server then they are gone :p

its like a bug on the server i think

[dark sentinel]

sorry no clue then

[fierce night]

I have a question regarding initial set up of a dedicated server on one of my machines. The single player save file is not MY save. It's a buddy of mines. If I wanted to add his save to the dedicated server, how would I go about that?

[dark sentinel]

I don't remember if single player saves work on multiplayer

if so

[sonic tusk]

u can load/upload it

[dark sentinel]

Server Manager > {server} > Manage Saves > Upload Save > Load Save

[fierce night]

I know you can add a single player save to a dedicated server, but how do I load my buddy's save if he's the one that is running it??

[dark sentinel]

Ask his save file

Ask admin privileges to download the save yourself

[fierce night]

I can access that through the game?

[viral canyon]

What if it can't load it, as it detect corruption or anything like it. Wouldn't it be "smart" to delete them then?

[dark sentinel]

If you are admin: yes

[feral galleon]

hey guys I got a little problem that my friend can see the server but isnt authanticated but only him others can join

[fierce night]

@feral galleon that looks like he hasn't white listed you on the server

[dark sentinel]

Or outbound TCP/UDP 7777 is blocked

[fierce night]

Okay, so he has to give me admin permissions on his side then I can download the save file and open it up in the server?

[dark sentinel]

Correct

[fierce night]

Okay, cool. Thanks man!! Thanks for confirming my thought process

[dark sentinel]

np at all

[strong tartan]

Hi anyone got any info on this ? I’m not on the server currently but the friend who has it hosted on a Server on his local network is rubber banding like crazy (connected via local up )

[deep turret]

not at all, it can just load an other

[feral galleon]

how do I whitelist ? can't find something for that

[dusty vortex]

Was this just a statement or did you intend to ask a question?

[dark sentinel]

can he test if his firewall is allowing the connection?

Test-NetConnection "server URL or IP" -Port 7777

[dark sentinel]

this is powershell btw

[dusty vortex]

It would be firewall related, nothing specific to the game

[strong tartan]

Issue is that we are rubber banding on the server , I supplied a fair bit of info yesterday but didn’t get much back , has anyone had this issue and know a potential fix ?

This only seems to be present post 1.0 as pre 1.0 we had a really smooth running server

[fierce night]

It depends on what server they're using. It should be in the server manager in satisfactory

[dusty vortex]

Not much to go on...
Could be his internet is not of a great connection (like virgin media - a UK cable service provider) have 'fast' connection but really poor latency.
It could be his CPU in the server is lacking.
Anything else would also be speculation :/

[faint wagon]

Anyone else having issues with the blueprint designer? Doesn't seem to let me create directories and when i try to clear the designer, it crashes the server.

[strong tartan]

Server specs I’ve posted previously if you use the from:henton03 flag in search , also local connection as stated in my first comment mitigates anything ISP related , it’s a home server running in house with an in house connecting via local ip

As stated I wanted an update on what I’ve posted previously if anyone else is available to review the info and advise

[dusty vortex]

Sorry I may have missed some messages with the influx that get posted here. 😕

[deep turret]

"It could be his CPU in the server is lacking."
or client !
for instance on benchmarking the server, I run it on a better cpu than the machine I use, and while the server is blasting 96 tps, it puts my pc on its knees so much it does not even sucessfully open the setting menu 2/3 of the times I press escape

[unreal crystal]

my experience

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

use this to fix

[strong tartan]

All good , it was yesterday so I doubt you’d have seen it but it got lost again yesterday and just though I’d try re-asking

[dusty vortex]

Trust you to push the boundaries hehe

[strong tartan]

Specs for you : AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Eight-Core Processor CPU 32gb ddr4

[deep turret]

server or client ?

[strong tartan]

Server , client is an upgrade from this

[feral galleon]

he cant connect but the firewall inbound rule is set samme for the router r

[strong tartan]

CPU usage at time of rubber banding

[faint wagon]

I'd rather not, but it seems like the mk.I blueprint doesn't crash, only the mk.II so far. can't set directory on either though.

[unreal crystal]

its BPs et al

[honest crest]

Does anyone have an Idea why I can connect to the https port 7777 via a browser but the server is marked offline ingame?

In the browser I get the message: {"errorCode": "errors.com.epicgames.httpserver.route_handler_not_found", "errorMessage": ""}

The server is running inside docker in a host network and the firewall is disabled

In Satisfactory I can connect to IP Port 7778 but here the error message: Failed to Connect to the Server API

[deep turret]

would be even better to see the dedicated server thread uses as well but this looks very ok

[deep turret]

this is not the best for it but should do it well enough

[candid pollen]

Anybody know why the server I just rented won't work? It says it's running, but when I go in game to add the server and put in the ip and port it says sever seems to be offline... Help!

[deep turret]

make sure you put the port and address separately, in the "server manager" menu

(if you already done that, then next step)

[candid pollen]

did that

says server name pending Not Authenticated

[unreal crystal]

yea; go to the settings tab n set it all up

[tiny chasm]

Hello we are 4 people playing on a dedicated server hosted on gportal.
Game was running fine for the last 4 days and suddenly 2 players got kicked from the server and now the server appears offline for them.
But the server is running and an other player can play just fine on it.
I guess the problem is on our end I just don't get how 2 people who live far away from each other can get the same network error.
We were playing around with hypertube launchers before getting disconnected but I don't think its the issue

[candid pollen]

nothing in the settings tab to set up, which is confusing to me lol

[unreal crystal]

if you have it added right; there's a whole tab for setting server name; admin; pw; etc

[tiny chasm]

It seems to have fixed itself, weird

[candid pollen]

I just noticed under basic settings it says to connect server I have to use the Experimental version.... Ill try that

[honest crest]

If this was an answer to me, yes I have entered the IP Address into the field and the port into the port field.

The server is marked as offline. Therefore I cannot change any settings, etc.

[candid pollen]

I have the same issue....

[plucky cove]

I've never done port forwarding before on the Modem, can someone help me make sense of it?

[dusty vortex]

There are many modem/routers out there so specific information may not perfectly align.
Best bet is to read the manuals or help docs for your equipment.

General information is available here,
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Port_Forwarding_and_Firewall_Settings

Note if you really don't know what your doing or understand the risks involved with exposing a machine directly to the internet then I would recommend to look at a service provider to cover this for you.

[dapper helm]

Hello, what file did i have to modify to increase the max player on my server ? it's a linux server

[dusty mirage]

Running dedicated server. Playing seems to be no issue, sometimes we get disconnected normally when painting the buildings or machines but the biggest issue we are experiencing is when everyone leaves the server and it saves the current session on user disconnect when someone tries to reenter the server it shows as offline.

The only way to fix this issue is by fully restarting the satisfactory server. Which defeats the point. It wasn't doing this when the game was released only since recent updates.

Also when the server reboots every 24 hours, is fails to come back online and remains offline the only fix was to setup a schedule to run a timed restart after it has finished its inital reboot.

[covert tusk]

Just started doing this for us as well. I restart the process when the last person logs off

Or, you could set restarts at 2 hours and that would give yhou max 2 hours of downtime before the factory starts cranking again if you forget or can't restart it

[dusty mirage]

As a temp fix yea this could be an option but hopefully they can release a fix for this soon.

[toxic anchor]

Would a Raspberry Pi 5 work as a server for Satisfactory?

[covert tusk]

Agreed. It is a sloppy bandaid until fixed

[dusty mirage]

Also this serious also happens even if you reinstall the dedicated files or install a fresh instance. I currently have two instances running and both experience the exactly problem. I run this on a dedicated server box along with TCADMIN which is self hosted.

[hollow jewel]

ARM is not supported I think

[toxic anchor]

Ah, okay

[wraith talon]

is there a way to fix it if you reconnected to a dedicated server too soon, and it spawned a 2nd instance of your player... with absolutely nothing in your inventory?

I am primarily concerned with inventory recovery, as I had all my power shards in my inventory, for one thing

[regal marsh]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files#Configuration_Editing
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files#Increasing_Player_Count

[covert tusk]

@wraith talon did you restart the server?

[wraith talon]

yes, and it's still leaving my old player in place

[dapper helm]

yes thanks you

[silent pond]

THis should definetly be added to the wiki IMO, thanks

[frank swallow]

anyone willing to start up a new server

[topaz scarab]

was in there already, someone added a section tho

damn ok you replied to a 4 day old comment

[placid kettle]

wow this channel moves way faster than i can even keep up with. 😮 i checked the pins and couldn't find what i was looking for, so i'd like to ask it here: is there any chance that somewhat complete documentation of dedicated server config files exist somewhere or is in development? the official wiki is good, but not as complete as i'd like.

a complete and thoroughly commented set of config files would be ideal

[topaz scarab]

like describing every file?

some of it's in scattered around the singleplayer/multiplayer setting wiki pages

[placid kettle]

yeah, i'd like to see it compiled for 1.0. it would also be nice to know what's supported for defining through the config files versus what the game gui is expecting to maintain (read: overwrite).

[silent pond]

yeah i missed that LOL

well friend of mine had the issue not me so it's his skill issue

[median jackal]

Hey, im Using Pufferpanel and i get this error : hastebin.de/tiruzalavo.sql can anyone help?

[topaz scarab]

they haven't updated it for satisfactory 1.0

[median jackal]

:c

Okay

[topaz scarab]

someone made a pull request at least
but their dockerfile sucks anyway

since you're using docker anyway, use wolveix's image

[toxic marlin]

how do do

dedicated server

[topaz scarab]

just do

[brittle gazelle]

hey everyone, my friends abandoned me for deadlock. Are there any community dedicated servers for anyone to join? I enjoy this game a lot more if there's others working together

If you do not want to do port forwarding, look into Twingate.

[frosty gale]

what the huh

[tender thicket]

ooh they be cooking

but also I despise that they have like 10+ branches that are old and stale

Like branches that are older than a yr

[frosty gale]

branch branch branch

[quick mist]

I mean if they can't be arsed to prune abandoned branches from Steam it doesn't cost them anything and I'd rather they work on updates in new branches than playing Mr. Mayagi And His Bonsai Tree with old code

of the various kinds of tech debt to accumulate, stale branches are probably the most innocuous and interest-free

[tender thicket]

Yeah thats true im just being anal about it

We have somewhat of a similar problem at work

and it irks me

but I dont manage that stuff so im just gonna have to scream into the void

[quick mist]

just git rm everything from the stale branches and send a PR

git commit -m "Pruning abandoned dead-end"

[tender thicket]

yeah might just do

[night spear]

is 20 gigs of ram and 700% cpu excessive for satisfactory with4 people?

[dusty vortex]

some would say yes... but it is 'normal'

[night spear]

what would you suggest the minium cpu for that is?

the ram is fine for me

but the cpu is limmited on my server\

[keen shale]

Does the game keep running when all players on a dedicated server log off?

[night spear]

no dont think so

[dusty vortex]

depends how you set it up in server manager options, it can run while everyone is away, its just a tick box to pause or not.

[night spear]

i think the pausing is better

yup auto pause is on

[dusty vortex]

other than the specs in the wiki, i cant honestly say what min is, depends on scale of the builds... im doing ok on a oldish xeon cpu with just 3 players at t5

[ashen saddle]

Hey satisfriends, can anyone help me interpret this error I am getting that seems to coincide with rubberbanding on my server? Cheers

LogNetPackageMap: Warning: FNetGUIDCache::SupportsObject: LightweightCollisionComponent /Game/FactoryGame/Map/GameLevel01/Persistent_Level.Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.AbstractInstanceManager_2147473983.LightweightCollisionComponent_2147473963 NOT Supported.

[night spear]

wow i have the same

i need the answer too

[night spear]

k ill look at the wiki

[dusty vortex]

under what conditions (players/tier/how many trucks or trains/and what cpu is it running on) ?

[stable sleet]

hola
best server host?

[ashen saddle]

2 players, tier 3, Ryzen 5 @ 3.6ghz, 32GB, 900Mbps up/down

[night spear]

im on tier 2, 1 player connectted, no trains or trucks and an oldish intel xeon with 2.3 gigahertz

[dusty vortex]

sadly i dont have an answer for you, but maybe others will, and your info helps paint a picture across the community. )

[strong tartan]

SOOOOO, it looks like the single core performance is tanking : is there anything we can do to optimise ? It never did this pre 1.0#

[night spear]

its looks like this log also coincides:

[2024.09.17-21.23.16:101][ 0]LogNetPlayerMovement: Warning: ServerMove: TimeStamp expired: 56.122078, CurrentTimeStamp: 57.184452, Character: Char_Player_C_2147399808

anyone know what this wierd visual glitch is from?

[night spear]

might it just be internet speed tanking from the client?

because my server has a 1 gig connection but my laptop at school is another story

yup thats my problem 0.43 mbps download

[dusty vortex]

i could only speculate, i dont know enough about this specific issue, sorry

[dusty vortex]

oof

it certainly wont help

[deep turret]

I dont understand your screenshot, you removed the column tags

[night spear]

my teacher had to restart the router

it fixed it

[keen shale]

nice thanks 😄

[sturdy parrot]

I have a current game save on my PC that my friends and I have been playing on, is it possible to move that to a dedicated server (steam) or would we have to start over?

[granite depot]

I am having this same issue. Does anyone have a solution?

[granite depot]

Yes, uploading a save is relatively easy. I did that yesterday.

[night spear]

yes

theres a button in the dedicated server gui to upload saves

[wraith talon]

the solution I found was to reload an earlier autosave on the server. Once it happens, I don't think it can be fixed, just have to reload a save from before it occurred

[sturdy parrot]

when I launched it from steam, it didn't give me a gui, looks more like a command window

[granite depot]

From the game client, not the server, in the server manager tab on the main menu

[sturdy parrot]

ah, thanks

[night spear]

i killed my previous self to get my items back when i had this issue

[sturdy parrot]

can you adjust max number of players?

le sigh... so I have a server up and running, and when I attempt to join it using (127.0.0.1 or 127.0.0.1:7777) the loopback IP, it says Encryption token missing and won't load into the game

[granite depot]

Make sure you've got firewall settings open for port 7777 on both UDP and TCP

[sturdy parrot]

even if I am using the local loopback IP?

[wraith talon]

how do you kill your prior self? when I encountered this, my "prior self" wasn't interactable....

[night spear]

i just xeno-zapped them

then you take your stuff out of the death crate

[quiet lintel]

I uploaded a mega print with some bridges , in my pc work just fine , but when i upload the save on the server there are missing parts in the buildings , can i do something about it ? Can someone help please?

[slow bloom]

are you sure you have the missing pieces unlocked in the AWESOME shop?

[tepid dirge]

Some help with the servers when people connect do they use join game or server manager and which ip do they use (public ip correct)?

[hollow jewel]

server manager
public IP if outside of your network (dont forget to portforward 7777 TCP and UDP)
internal IP if inside of your network

[peak pumice]

i'm sure this been answered 1000x, but i'm running ubuntu, steamcmd, ufw forwarding 7777 udp/tcp (15000 and 15777 just incase), no arguments
i'm able to connect locally (192.x.y.z):7777
with a computer on another network (hot spot), in a browser, https://[WAN IP]:7777, and epic junk pops up
stuck with offline, server name pending, not authenticated

[thorny dew]

Seems like port forwarding is missing from your router

[thorny dew]

Try using LAN ip rather than loopback

And 15777 is also not used anymore

Just 7777

[peak pumice]

running unifi udmp, port forwarding from any 7777 [server ip]7777

[thorny dew]

Instead of any, do a separate tcp and udp forwarding rule

[peak pumice]

ill give that a shot

[thorny dew]

I recall someone having that same exact issue and had a UDMP in their stack. Separate TCP and UDP rules seems to have fixed it for them

[tepid dirge]

This is confusing maybe its an issue with my isp because even though its been ported for 7777,15000,15777 the server stills shows up not up (for external people) im able to connect to it via internal ip no issue and runs and saves no problem

[rapid spindle]

Verify if you're behind CG NAT. Check your public IP (whatismyip) and compare it to your router's WAN IP

If they're not the same, your ISP doesn't support port forwarding

[frosty gale]

did you port forward tcp and udp on port 7777

also those other ports arent used anymore

[keen shale]

why is it saying single player when creating a new game towards a dedicated server? i got no option to change it to multiplayer either

[tepid dirge]

I think my eero router does support port forwarding i think im doing something wrong here

[peak pumice]

when i close the ports at my udmp, going to the server from browser times out, re-enable the port forwarding rule, and the webpage is back

i separated TCP and UDP rules rather than using "both" option
based on the wiki, that page loading should indicate that the server is working, yet still stuck at server name pending

[tender thicket]

Connect through the server manager, not the join game tab

U have to claim it through the server manager

Also anyone else joining your server has to join through the server manager

[tender thicket]

Dw abt it, i had that but it works anyway

[keen shale]

okai 😄 thanks 😄

[gray valley]

Hey guys. New to the server. Thought about renting some but I have some old hardware lying around. Including a trashcan Mac. Late 2013 model. Can I use steamcmd to run it or should I just find a usable Linux version and run from there?

[tender thicket]

'13 mac is prob not gonna have a good enough single core performance for satisfactory

do you know the spec of it?

CPU, RAM mainly

[gray valley]

16 gigs of ram. Gimme a sec and I'll get the exact processor.

[tender thicket]

you need about 8, preferably more for a satisfactory server in late game

so thatll be alright as long as you arent trying to run other stuff on it as well

[gray valley]

Nah just have some hardware laying around. Might be able to get more ram into it too if I keep looking around.

4x4 gb of ram for sure I can see that even before booting.

[tender thicket]

yeah the 16 will be enough if its just a satisfactory dedi

id be more concerned abt the cpu spec

[rapid spindle]

Worst case, it doesn't run or runs poorly and you can transfer the save to better hardware

[tender thicket]

true

save transfer is really easy in satisfactory

[gray valley]

I think these were built models so I think 2.7 GHz xeon but waiting to get into terminal to check. Haven't installed OS on it yet

12 core

[mild quiver]

I am hosting a server on my PC. Every time I'm the last player to exit the server.. the Server Manager shows my "Server appears to be offline" but the dedicated server console is still running.. if I exit the console and restart it.. then Server Manager shows my server online again. What am I doing wrong?

[tender thicket]

its not a complete shitter so its worth a try

[tender thicket]

known bug, gotta wait for it to be fixed by css

[gray valley]

6 core e5-1650 3.5ghz

[tender thicket]

yeah its worth a try

might not get u far but u can at least give it a go

[gray valley]

Should I just install a Linux distro or install Mac os and run steam cmd

[tender thicket]

prob linux

if ur comfortable with it

itll use the hardware better id presume

[gray valley]

Ok. Should be a good start. Been a minute since I used Linux but Itll come back to me

[tender thicket]

worst case scenario slap macos on there

id just be worried about overhead

considering you dont have a lotta breathing room with that hw

[slow pier]

what method r u using for running the dedicated servers?

[modest finch]

I keep crashing on a server and first time ive got a error code.
https://i.imgur.com/M94qiyn.png
What could this be?

[tepid dirge]

The standard steamcmd and the other cmd server

[fierce valve]

Any update on the foliage bug today?

[slow pier]

hm... same here

I have the same problem so that's why I'm asking

when I enter in my local ip, it works, but when i use the public ip, it doesn't

[peak pumice]

i've checked with canyouseeme.org, my port is open, still getting pending server name

[tender thicket]

go to https:// ip:port without the space

in your browser

what do u see

[tender thicket]

good

so ur getting tcp at least

now check ur router if uve forwarded udp

[peak pumice]

UDP is the same

[polar quiver]

So a friend of mine is getting this message when he tries to join our server. I know the server isnt offline because im able to connect

[split relic]

who r u running it off of

[inland otter]

if your on steam is there anyway to get a free server like on epic

[split relic]

run a steam dedicated server off of ur pc

[polar quiver]

We have a dedicated server for it

[split relic]

the game is crossplay

[rapid haven]

is it possible to edit server advanced once game is started or i need to do New game?

[split relic]

okay wheres that being run off of?

[inland otter]

dont think my pc is good enough for it

it can run satisfactory with lots of stuff but playing the game and hosting a server might be too much

[polar quiver]

offsite location

[inland otter]

can i use the epic dedicated server if i link my epic account ing or nah

[tiny junco]

Same here. If I use machine on the same network as the server via local ip - all good. Public ip - nope. All worked great before an update, now I'm out of ideas how to fix it. Ports are open both on windows server machine and router but no connection

[tender thicket]

7777, udp and tcp?

[faint wagon]

is using commands like r.fog 0 a client side setting or server side?

I can't seem to open the "console" in game from the client, but running it from the "console" under server manager doesn't enable or disable fog

[livid olive]

I am receiving daily server restarts. I assume this is in the Satisfactory core game. I have no issues with this for stability. I would like to control when time of day this restarts occurs. Any writeup on this? I think my google foo is failing me today

[tender thicket]

In server settings theres a restart interval. This is actually poorly worded and instead the restart time of the server every day, in UTC

So change that to whatever time you want it to restart in UTC

In my case I did like 4AM

[naive summit]

Hey how do you upload blueprints to a server. Saved a folder of all my blueprints and wanna import it into the new server

[livid olive]

serversettings section of game.ini or something?

[tender thicket]

Pause menu

Server manager

[tender thicket]

Better not to for now, the blueprints are horrendously buggy

wait for a patch

[naive summit]

Should I just remake them?

[tender thicket]

You shouldnt use them at all

[naive summit]

ah

[tender thicket]

but if u do wanna then there is a folder in ur save yes

both locally and on the dedi

so u will have to sftp in or whatever else

and do the transfer that way

its not as easy as the save upload

[livid olive]

Thanks much!

[tiny junco]

Yup. Ports are all open both on server & router

[sour parcel]

is there a console command to restart the server? or do I need to access the server to do that?

[tender thicket]

its gotta be a router problem then, can you go to https:// ip:port in your browser with your public IP?

what do you see

no space in the url btw

[inland otter]

how do i even use the epic games dedicated server? this is confusing

idk how to even host one

[tender thicket]

look for the video in pinned

it might help u

[inland otter]

how far was it i cant find it

[tender thicket]

literally the first pin

[inland otter]

wheres pinned tho

?

[tender thicket]

are u on mobile or desktop

[inland otter]

desktop

[tender thicket]

top right, to the left of the search bar

[clever idol]

how do I disable the automatic restart of the dedicated server? or how can I have it restart at a specific time.

[tender thicket]

#dedicated-servers message

I answered this like 5 mins ago

[inland otter]

ok found it

[clever idol]

Yeah.. that doesn't do it... I've had it set to various settings... I've tried 24, I've tried 0.. I've tried.. 15... no matter what this setting is, server restarts at exactly 8:00PM Eastern.

[tender thicket]

works on my end, restart?

[clever idol]

Yeah sorry, just not doing it for me. I've tried restarting the server multiple times. the setting saves, I can see it's set to 0 right now.. yet still insists that it must restart in about 8 minutes now.

[tender thicket]

0 is 8P ET

[clever idol]

...

[tender thicket]

If you change that now to 4 theres a good chance it wont restart

[clever idol]

Am I that bad at time zones...

[tender thicket]

worked for me, try setting it

[clever idol]

I might be.

[tender thicket]

0 UTC is +4 from EDT

[clever idol]

yeah I thought I was +5

[tender thicket]

Normally is

[clever idol]

freakin' daylight..

[tender thicket]

yeah

[clever idol]

I swear I had it set to 15 though..

I'll try to set it to 6

and see if that changes it. I want it to reboot at 3AM Eastern.

[tender thicket]

then set it to 7

[clever idol]

That being said.. it could be a little clearer in the description.

[tender thicket]

oh absolutely

its mislabeled at best, a bug at worst

[clever idol]

Thanks for the help @tender thicket . 🙂

It was driving me nuts.. looks like it kept it from restarting.

[tender thicket]

np

[inland otter]

i hate this crap

like i copy the server thing and it doesnt work

im on windows

and the commands that are used in the video dont even work

[tender thicket]

what method r u using

[inland otter]

windows i think

i just tryed the commands to install it with the link

which didnt work

cause the curl command aperentlu doesnt exist

and idk what the - - is cause it dont work either

so i just used the link and extracted it

then went to wiki.gg and tryed the first one for windows and tryed another

.\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:\Game Servers\Satisfactory Server" +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

i used that

[tender thicket]

did u install steamcmd?

[inland otter]

yes

i think

i dont know

like i used the link

it went into downloads

[tender thicket]

what platform do u play the game on

[inland otter]

and i extracted it into a folder i named STEAMSMD to get easily

[tender thicket]

epic?

[inland otter]

im on steam

[tender thicket]

ok

[inland otter]

do i need the server app open?

for satisfactory

[tender thicket]

did you open the command line from that folder?

no

[inland otter]

what line?

[tender thicket]

the terminal

the cmd

[inland otter]

yes

[tender thicket]

did u open it in that folder

the one where u extracted that download

[inland otter]

yes

[tender thicket]

ok

what happened when u ran the steamcmd thing

[inland otter]

it opened and said
Redirecting stderr to 'C:\Users\bentg\OneDrive\Desktop\STEAM CMD\logs\stderr.txt'
Logging directory: 'C:\Users\bentg\OneDrive\Desktop\STEAM CMD/logs'
Looks like steam didn't shutdown cleanly, scheduling immediate update check
[ 0%] Checking for available updates...

Steam>

i hate dedicated servers this is confusing

[tender thicket]

Ok so now check C:\game servers\satisfactory

does that exist

thats where it shouldve been downloaded to

[inland otter]

no

it doesnt

which is annoying

[tender thicket]

can u move steamcmd to that folder structure

[inland otter]

ok

just the exe not the folder?

[tender thicket]

is there much in the folder?

[inland otter]

but um game servers doesnt even exist

yeah a bit

like logs i think

and reporters and dlls

[tender thicket]

did u move the exe out of that extract folder before u ran it?

the steamcmd one?

[inland otter]

no

was i supposed to

[tender thicket]

no

u were supposed not to

[sour parcel]

Anyone play with the TCP API ApplyServerOptions? I can not figure out how to make this work. Reading from the server is easy, but setting options keeps giving the same error no matter what I try

[inland otter]

there is no directory even called game servers so

what if i move the steam cmd.exe to the steam folder?

[tender thicket]

thats not gonna help

make the folder structure and try that

[inland otter]

omg bro

going to jump off a bridge

[unreal crystal]

where hotfix

[inland otter]

i put the steam thing into steam folder and now i cant really get rid of it

BRUH

F

[slow pier]

yea it even shows that it works when i do the https:// ip: port and it still shows offline for some reason

[inland otter]

omg

bro

so i made the folder structure

idk what do i do now

this is stupid as hell

[candid swallow]

having issue where the host is online and in game but the server appears offline to anyone who tries to join HELP

[inland otter]

bro how do i remove steam cmd from the steam folder

idk why the hell the SAME COMMANDS arnt commands like they are in the video b ut

it doesnt work

nothing works

cause NO COMMAND IS A COMMAND I GUESS

[tepid dirge]

Okay at this point im borderline thinking about just getting a hosting service, which are easy to use?

[inland otter]

good point im just too poor

it would be a good idea but im poor

idk any sites

[frosty gale]

9 hours ago

[tender thicket]

there was another patch today?

[frosty gale]

no

[tender thicket]

oh

[kind prawn]

is online play even worth it?

[inland otter]

@tender thicket bro i made the folder structure but idk what i was supposed to do next

cause i did it

and the commands dont work

which is the issue

for the next one im supposed to do .\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended

but

it says .\FactoryServer.exe isnt a command

[spiral lion]

did you execute it in the folder who have factoryserver?

or directory

[inland otter]

idk

the whoe thing didnt work before

what do i execute

this is so confusing

idk what folder has factoryserver and what do i even execute

[spiral lion]

u using windows version right?

or linux

[inland otter]

windows

and my issue is 1. i have no clue how the hell this works

and 2. the commands dont work

not a single command has worked

i had to install steam cmd using the link and un zipping

cause the commands from the pinned video dont work

then the commands from the wiki didnt work

cause it said they werent even commands

[spiral lion]

okay, before I say anything. Currently Windows Dedicated version have annoying bug where one player with the same server LAN will bricked the server. so everytime you log out, u need to restart the server as a host.

[inland otter]

yeah but the whole server thing is confusing

yall say stuff

and i dont know how to do that

like

why the hell do i have to do so much damn stuff to host a server

[tender thicket]

u dont have to host a server

just play singleplayer

[spiral lion]

well, its technical stuff. Its not really intended for casual players

[tender thicket]

if ur hosting a server u know its gonna be complicated

there is no easy way to set one up bc it changes per person setting it up
