dedicated-servers

[rigid spindle]

Whats going on with the steamcmd dedicated server version vs epic 366202 (server) vs 367101 (client).
Both updated they are mismatch, is the dedicated server update not released yet?

[dusty pagoda]

yea i choose the option called both but instead it creates 2 different ports one tcp and the other udp. Got any ports i could try ? tried some but none is working. give me 5 random numbers

[unreal crystal]

wait what happens if you do 7777 both?

without the port proposal

should just.... do 7777 both

[dusty pagoda]

.

tcp only works. udp fails

[unreal crystal]

delete them + make the protocol both

instead of 2 separate rules

[hidden forge]

Port proposal is probably auto port opening via upnp

[dusty pagoda]

thats what i do. ill show you. one sec

[mellow sandal]

I think the create UI proposes both and then creates 2 rules

[latent raven]

Maybe try UDP first to see if you get that one working. You can use a different port too, but all 4 have to mach(tcp,utd,internal, external),

[unreal crystal]

what the fuck lmao. my apologies; i expected it to genuinely just say "yup; both".

[latent raven]

From reading the patch notes, it only fixed one bug on the client. So the mismatch is probably fine, until they have changes that affect server+client.

[dense tendon]

in my carrer i saw most of availaible routers and firewalls...but this sounds the worst 😋

[unreal crystal]

i'm assuming if you make them one by one you get the same behavior?

[mellow sandal]

I guess it does not allow to have the same external port mapping for both TCP and UDP ... which begs the question ... why?

[rigid spindle]

The game cannot be joined if there is a mismatch though.

[topaz scarab]

let me guess, it doesn't like the rules like having the same name

[dusty pagoda]

yup. same behavious if made one by one. im trying different ports. Any suggestions ?

i made the udp one first its not working for 7777

[mellow sandal]

try different names as wiki said

[dusty pagoda]

the name isnt the issue. udp isnt accepting 7777 for some reason. even without the tcp being there

[dense tendon]

all ports above 1024 and below 65535 is fine

[mellow sandal]

even if TCP rule is deleted ?

[dusty pagoda]

yes,

[mellow sandal]

try a high port like 55555

[dense tendon]

add both rules like you want and then reboot your router (routing tables/rulesets will often only refreshed on reboot)

[topaz scarab]

@short blade server name's part of the response when hitting the udp api, if you didn't already know

[mellow sandal]

by the way is there a way to display your latency to the server in the game hud?

[topaz scarab]

server ping tool on loop on another monitor? 😅

[mellow sandal]

that won't give me the game server's latency, just the network latency

[topaz scarab]

i said server ping, not regular ping, but yeah definitely would be read as regular ping

[dusty pagoda]

i tried a high port. restarted

[mellow sandal]

what is that tool ?

[dusty pagoda]

still not working

[latent raven]

So you cant configure any udp port in your router?

[topaz scarab]

dopeghoti has his cli tool

[mellow sandal]

I'm sorry to inform you that you have a shitty router :/

[topaz scarab]

one-shot tho, you'd have to run it on loop yourself

udp client is ez to implement anyway

[proud falcon]

hey no my solution is another server atm .. on another physical maschine the server runs smooth ! so i will check hardware ...

[dusty pagoda]

the ports i tried didnt work for both tcp and udp. the 7777 is the only one that worked for tcp only

[topaz scarab]

yeah if the server is laggy, it's prob pegging a core at 100%

[latent raven]

Ah okay. Epic dedicated works already, so I guess you need wait for steam to release it.

[topaz scarab]

check where you're installing/updating to

[topaz scarab]

it's been out

LogInit: Build: ++FactoryGame+rel-main-1.0.0-CL-367101

again it's people running random commands to update without reading what they're running first

[dusty pagoda]

i called my isp so they port forward it to me. Hopefully they do it.

[rigid spindle]

I don't think so , this is a fresh server, it hasn't had any strange commands run.
steamcmd +force_install_dir satisfactory +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 +quit

[topaz scarab]

probably ought to give it a more complete path than just "satisfactory"

unless you're certain cwd was the same

[mellow sandal]

yeah that would just put a new folder into whatever your working directory was at the time

[rigid spindle]

that seems to do the trick, cheers, no idea why its required for the update

[topaz scarab]

it's not.

it installs exactly where you tell it to, it just won't stop you from installing into a relative to current working directory directory

so if you were in one folder when installing it, and another when updating it, you'll get that

[rigid spindle]

I never used force_install_dir originally and it installed in-place cwd, using force install dir complains that the steam shares the same folder as the game, so i moved it inside satisfactory path, I pass in relative path with force and it fails, full absolutely path works.

[topaz scarab]

game client's installed on the server?

or just the pc you also game on

[rigid spindle]

nah its a dedicated instance
I play from a different machine entirely, and geographically

my assumption is that if i never specified force_install_dir originally, i shouldn't have to right?

it does seem the official wiki does suggest to use it and i think it needs to be clear that it should be an absolute path.. even if its wrong, why wouldn't it install and update?

in any case, glad its working!

[topaz scarab]

even the steam wiki doesn't explain why to use it, just to do so

[crisp loom]

does anyone know if you can manually save game through steamcmd cli

the server is gonna keep running, but I just wanna make sure I get a save before I get off for the night

nevermind I found like 3 easier ways to save

[mellow sandal]

there is an option to save on player exit

and you have the save manager on the server tab as well if you want a manual save

[grim dew]

Just updated my satisfactory dedicated server and now it says this on boot...

[hollow mist]

How can I solve this problem?

[pallid sluice]

update the server

[hollow mist]

I don't know how to do it

Is there a video explaining?

[stuck nexus]

I had this same Problem @thorny mauve But I tracked them down. Here are the Satisfactory 1.0 blueprint locations. Enjoy!

On your local computer: C: > Users > (yourusername) > AppData > Local > FactoryGame > SaveGames > blueprints > (Sesson Name) > (Your Blueprints are here)

• or you can search for %LocalAppData% and hit return to save time and go from there.

On a Server: (GPORTAL) > Go to your server Dashboard > File Manager > Home (Opens this directory by default) > FactoryGame > Saved > SaveGames > blueprints > (Session Name) > (Your Blueprints are here)

Rock on Pioneers! ❤️ 🤘

Also @versed ivy & @dawn void See post above for Blueprint Locations. I know it can be frustrating. I spent a good part of day trying to find the location. Enjoy.

[thorny mauve]

Im playing on my own dedicated server. I don't have savegames folder. No blueprints or saves ...

[trim talon]

there is a instruction https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Automatic_updates

i just update it with SteamCMD

[obsidian plinth]

You do, You just need to dig around for it. It'll be saved in the Appdata of the user you're running the dedicated as.

[dawn mortar]

Hi! I would prefer to use a hosting service for my dedicated server, I am based in the EU and am looking for a list of trusted providers, is there such a thing on this discord? I've not been able to find it.

[dusty vortex]

nitrado, gportal, gtx gaming, low.ms, qonzar, indifferent broccoli - to name a few (there are others out there im less familiar with) as trusted, each have their pros and cons, but take a look at their various offerings and see what suits you best.

[dawn mortar]

@dusty vortex Thank you so much, I'll look into them! indifferent broccoli came up a lot, but unfortunately my latency was un acceptable.

[abstract garnet]

notobots: Once you find out your service lags, upgrade. When you notice it lags again, upgrade. Rinse and repeat. Notice you would have gotten a used rig for cheaper for hosting games. Regret.

[dawn mortar]

Honestly hope that won't be the case.

[dusty vortex]

While in the long term it can be cheaper to build a spare rig or even rent a full server to host multiple games with... however part of the cost is that your paying for a service, if there are issues, then its someone else's responsibility to fix it.
Great for folks that might not have the time to troubleshoot or those that may not have technical knowledge to troubleshoot them selfs.

[abstract garnet]

That's what I did, after all.

Well, you can't get an able server from Nitrado even with money. They're all under sized. Or at least they were.

[tawny shadow]

yeah, getting a cheap refurbished office pc like a hp prodesk with a i5 6500 cost like 80€ and is fully capable to host multiple servers

[abstract garnet]

notobots: Just trying to save you a headache. I've tried gaming servers and vps, but it gets too expensive at least for me. I have my old pc (i9900k + 16GB) as a headless server with debian now under my desk.

[unreal crystal]

if you have the skills/need; hetzner has some amazing prices on full bare metal boxes. amd 3900 to 8700+ for 45-55+ euro a month.

[abstract garnet]

that's what I meant. 50€+ for renting a server. It pays itself back in a few months, and stays with you for hosting the next game

[dusty vortex]

self hosting, or renting a bare metal box is great for those that already have a decent amount of technical knowledge, not everyone is comfortable with linux, or firewalls or understanding how to troubleshoot things, but for those that are willing to learn or have the skills, its a good choice.

[abstract garnet]

Linux isn't overwhelming to learn, and after basics with command line, there are plenty of people here who can help set up the server.

or so i think

[unreal crystal]

hell with tools like linuxgsm you don't even need to be great at linux. just know how to use SSH + copy paste.

they have docker + 1 line deployments for every server on steam linux

[dusty vortex]

aye, there is plenty of information out there, and its not hard to learn, but some learning is still required... if someone is willing to.

[unreal crystal]

😄 ye; throw someone in front of ubuntu cli and they're not doing much without the internet.

[abstract garnet]

that's natural. But theres maybe ~10-20 commands you can manage with

[unreal crystal]

yea i use linux (copy pastes everything from the wiki with no understanding of functionality)

😄

(they dont want you to know thats 98% of linux)

the last 2% is pwd and ls and cd.

[abstract garnet]

^^

https://www.websentra.com/linux-commands-cheat-sheet/ that doesn't seem too bad of a cheat sheet to get started. It doesn't say, that most commands take --help or -h for a short help. Or that you can type man command for a bit longer manual page.

Also, SSH server is needed for remote use. It doesn't need any configuration usually. Putty program can connect to ssh server.

[mortal geode]

What does network quality do and what would be a good setting? Does our Network Quality from the Game Settings of each player needs to fit?

[tawny shadow]

afaik it changes the max bandwith it can use.
but its bugged right now and keeps reseting to medium

[dusty vortex]

the game uses the UDP protocol to exchange data.
unlike TCP which has built in error handling should a packet of information not arrive to its destination it gets re-transmitted.
UDP just sends the data and really does not care if it arrives.

so the game can either sends more but smaller chunks of data so that if a packet get lost there is less chance of de-sync (low quality), while ultra quality sends fewer packets but with more data (to a limit), should a larger packet drop then thats more data lost and thus increases chance of de-sync.

the game still has the same information it needs to send from point A to B, but could be done in bite size or meal size.

[mortal geode]

Ah thanks. Wouldnt low be then better?

[dusty vortex]

low may be more reliable, ultra may be more performant (less laggy/more responsive)

[tawny shadow]

yes but also no, udp is also capable of checking if its arrived, games use this for important broadcasts

[deep turret]

udp no

what's on top of udp yes

if your phone is not reliable you can always ask your friend to phone you back when it receive

[tawny shadow]

yep hybrid but still based on udp

[deep turret]

what do you mean by based on udp
it then have nothing to do with udp

that would be like charging your phone on your car USB outlet
and then say your phone battery is made so it's battery car backed

[dusty vortex]

there is extra information inside the UDP packet that could be used to determine if something got missing... like a counter incrementing each time, or a checksum of the last packet sent, there a few techniques.
but it relies on the sender sending the relevant info, and the receiver checking if the packets arrived in sequence.
UDP it self does not do this, so this overhead needed to be handled by the sender/reciever applications, while TCP handles all this at the network layer.

[chilly beacon]

Time to break out some OSI layer diagrams

[deep turret]

I don't like osi layers because they are wrong in a lot of ways they are very old
but for the sake of explaining basic protocol jobs maybe it could make it easier to visualize at least

[noble sluice]

Still. It isn't supported.

[dusty vortex]

May I ask your source of where it was claimed not to be supported?
The requirements state x64 windows or Linux.
And historically windows server has much more testing and is generally much more reliable than consumer desktop windows variants.

[drifting hatch]

Hi! I've set up a dedicated server and I've opened port mappings on pfSense (7777, 15000, 15777 TCP/UDP), I can connect to the server locally but my friend can't connect remotely. Some help would be appreicated, thanks!

[latent lichen]

Anyone who knows how I can fix a server mismatch? my dedi server seems stuck at 366202 even though i updated it just now, while my game client is on 367101

[dusty vortex]

ports are wrong / no longer used... check out the wiki in the channel description (you need 7777 both TCP and UDP only)

[dusty vortex]

you update it (often the same way you installed it)

[drifting hatch]

7777 is open UDP+TCP though

[latent lichen]

I just did

[thorn cloak]

I have the same thing, server updated but not updated lol

[dusty vortex]

if it did not update, then delete the server folder and reinstall from scratch (your saves are stored in a folder outside of the server files folder)

[dusty vortex]

1. double check your system firewall
2. double check your router port forwards
3. your friend should use your public IP not internal IP.
4. if your public IP starts with 100. then you might be behind a CG-NAT (ISP level), so your options are to use IPv6 instead of IPv4, a VPN, or contact ISP to provide you with a static IPv4 address, or use a hosting provider.

[drifting hatch]

I'm not behind CG-NAT, I have a dedicated v4 IP and a v6 delegation, I use pfSense, I have scanned it using my external cloud instance, ports are open and accessible, I have set the DNS to use the v4* only, pfSense is configured correctly as far as I can tell, I've had him try my static v4 and it's not working either, done an nmap scan externally and ports are filtered/open

[dusty vortex]

wild shot.... is your friend entering into the address field the IP/DNS:port

some users tend to keep the :port part of the address, rather than reading it as 2 seperate values, they see it as 1 value and enter this into the address field not realising the :port part is not required

[thorn cloak]

post a ss of the pfsense NAT entry

[drifting hatch]

Not from what he described, he just went to Server Manager -> entered the address and maintained port 7777 below

[thorn cloak]

looks good, you can keep just the 7777

[drifting hatch]

I'll ditch the other two yeah

[thorn cloak]

What about the firewall? Is there any rules?

[drifting hatch]

No rules on the proxmox instance no

[latent lichen]

I think I figured out why it wasn't working for me. Steamcmd doesn't work from directory it started from so I had to seperately move to the correct directory after starting steamcmd

[drifting hatch]

Double checked ufw and iptables, no rules present

[thorn cloak]

firewall on pfsesne

[drifting hatch]

I spun up the instance without firewall enabled

The LXC

[thorn cloak]

firewall on pfsense is not the same with the firewall on proxmox

two diff things

[drifting hatch]

Yes I'm well aware of that xD

[thorn cloak]

you should have rules in pfsense firewall too

[drifting hatch]

The SS above is the pfSense rules

[thorn cloak]

When you setup NAT it should set up firewall rules auto

[drifting hatch]

The instance itself has no firewall at all, I can connect to it locally without any issues

[dusty vortex]

is your friend using the server manager to connect... and NOT trying to use the 'join game' option at the menu ?

[drifting hatch]

I'll ask him to try but I'd quite like him to be able to admin the server as well

[thorn cloak]

should be like this on NAT

[dusty vortex]

which is done via server manager... join game is for 'multi player' mode... not for connecting to dedicated servers

[thorn cloak]

And firewall rules ...

[dusty vortex]

just trying to check on the low hanging fruit

if you like, i got a couple of spare mins to try connect to yours if you would like (DM me, dont paste your IP in here) to confirm if its your end or your friends end thats the issue

[noble sluice]

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

[drifting hatch]

Read all of that page xD

[drifting hatch]

Thanks, sent you a DM / FR

[thorn cloak]

you could try a dynamic dns too

[drifting hatch]

I have a static v4

[thorn cloak]

maybe your isp is the problem but i doubt

[drifting hatch]

I pay a lot of money for it XD

[dusty vortex]

nothing recieved.

[drifting hatch]

It's a corporate ISP

One sec

Unable to msg you unless we are friends

[dusty vortex]

one sent to you

[thorn cloak]

not the friendliest man alive lol

[drifting hatch]

xD

[dusty vortex]

tested, server says offline, so the problem is your end @drifting hatch

least rules out issues at your friends end.

[toxic anchor]

If I play on a rented server (which someone else has rented) can I access the save file? (and for example continue on it in single player)

[thorn cloak]

only if you have the management password

[dusty vortex]

only if they give you the server admin password to download it, or share the file with you

[toxic anchor]

Okay, so I need to go to the host (with management password)?

Or can I do it through Satisfactory

[thorn cloak]

In game

[dusty vortex]

no, the in game server manager

[toxic anchor]

Great, thanks for the help

[drifting hatch]

Yea but I open many game servers for friends now and again and really no idea why this is causing trouble XD

I even went as far as adding firewall rules* on proxmox

Instance ^

Node ^

[thorn cloak]

tried to restart the whole machine?

[drifting hatch]

Makes no difference because I don't run a firewalled proxmox

[dusty vortex]

im not familiar enough to pfsense or proxmox to be able to help troubleshoot much further, outta my wheel house.
other than to correct the ports that are being used or suggest some low hanging fruit to check.

[thorn cloak]

sometimes nic gets bugged

[calm mist]

Good morning... trying to copy iin some blueprints to my dedicated server and I cannot.. I am using the WOLVEIX Docker build...

[drifting hatch]

The ports are not closed though, this is the external scan from my cloud instance:

7777/tcp filtered      cbt
7777/udp open|filtered cbt

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.55 seconds

They are open

[calm mist]

I am getting access denied error when I try and copy them in

[unreal crystal]

whose your host? i know ovh game firewall can cause problems

[drifting hatch]

It's my own broadband service, I can DM you the IP

There is absolutely no firewalling going on internally - I can connect to the server locally and I run a zero-trust LAN, so there is nothing that would block my gaming rig from connecting

The port mappings appear to be working fine because they are open from an nmap scan from Akamai

I'm not new to doing this, I've been doing this for decades

[echo mural]

Hi!
I followed a tutorial on how to set up a server locally on my machine

1. added new rules in firewall, inbound and outbout, for port 7777
2. port forwarding on my box to my local ip with port 7777 (both UDP and TCP)
3. running the Satisfactory Dedicated Server
4. running Satisfactory and going to server management, where i tried to add my server with my public ip and port 7777 <- this is where I have a problem, nothing is happening, it doest appear but i dont have an error message or anything either so I don't know how to troubleshoot this.
   Thank you to whoever read that

[thorn cloak]

if you wanna share any remote desktop i can take a look and test it, if u on win 10 or 11 we can use quick assist @drifting hatch

[unreal crystal]

only thing i can think of after rereading through is to check your launch commands against the latest wiki; could be rebinding the port for the server since you were going off the old 15777 etc. otherwise your opnsense n stuff all looks good to me. does going to ip:7777 in browser work?

[dusty vortex]

your using your public IP to connect to the server inside your network...

1. did you try using your internal IP?
2. not all routers support NAT-Hairpin/NAT-Loopback (meaning you cant use public ip to connect to internal resources)

[drifting hatch]

How would that work, surely the server doesn't talk HTTP/S ?

[echo mural]

because I plan to play with others friends while I host, so I need to set up the server on the public network yes
i thought the port forwarding thing was to create a link between public and local ip ?

[drifting hatch]

It's not a local client issue, I can connect locally no trouble at all

Which proves the proxmox instance isn't firewalled

[unreal crystal]

it doesn't afaik; but you can tell error 404 from "empty response" indicating its open.

[dusty vortex]

it is, and for friends they would indeed use the public addres... but as i said, not all routers (Specially ones provided by ISP) do not support NAT-Hairpin/loopback, thus if you try to use your public address for internal resources, it wont work.
friends use public, your use internal

[unreal crystal]

so servers listening

[thorn cloak]

I got it but another pair of eyes it's the last thing i can help you with lol

[drifting hatch]

yes I can connect to it locally in Satisfactory

Is the server somehow configured to only accept LAN CIDR connections?

Maybe this is a server config issue?

[unreal crystal]

nah; dm me your IP

[thorn cloak]

there's no such thing

server start on 0.0.0.0

[unreal crystal]

your stuff looks like it works; which makes me think your friend may be doing a funni; like IP;7777 / 7777

[drifting hatch]

Yeah

[thorn cloak]

tested that out already, it's not that

[drifting hatch]

Sent you a DM

Wait so it does only allow local connections?

This is the problem then

How to change that policy? xD

[thorn cloak]

By default, i don't agree with that

[thorn cloak]

search in logs when server starts

[echo mural]

hmm, that would explain some stuff, back on 7dtd I used to also be the one hosting the server and I had to connect to it locally, invite friend via steam, then I could disconnect and let them play while i was doing something else. Was trying to make something better for Satisfactory but I guess my router can't handle this, so I hope it will still work like 7dtd. Thank you for your time.

[drifting hatch]

Got it running in a screen and lost that bit unless logged, i'll have to restart it and just got one kind Discorder testing it right now, will report back in a sec xD

[thorny dew]

It does not block connections by default

Would be kinda dumb to have a dedicated server app for a game only respond to LAN subnets as a default setting

But yeah not the default behavior here

Would double check firewalls and see what's up. Not hard to test using the http api for verification anyways

[drifting hatch]

It's most likely some issue at my end, just trying to diagnose exactly what, sorry for the pain and suffering XD

[thorny dew]

Maybe you can spin up a simple http server and bind to port 7777

See if you can get it to be reachable on WAN

Though you could also just use satisfactory's webserver

[unreal crystal]

i think it's just NAT reflection with their port forwarding; that's my theory and i'm sticking to it.

[thorn cloak]

I'm intrigued to know what the issue is lol

[thorny dew]

I mean, you can always try on mobile data for trying to reach the port

[unreal crystal]

xd cause i can't get anything to show open on port checkers

[drifting hatch]

I'll spin up nginx and see if that works, one sec

[unreal crystal]

make sure you delete/disable the proxmox firewall so you're only looking at one problem

don't forget that's a thing you did

[thorny dew]

Oh god proxmox fw

I can't escape people enabling the feature it seems

[drifting hatch]

Proxmox itself is not firewalled

It's probably an LXC instance issue, just trying to figure out what

[unreal crystal]

xd is it on the right bridge? satisfactory

[thorn cloak]

I can confirm that uninstalling the server works.
steamcmd-> app_uninstall 1690800
removed the server dir
steamcmd->app_update
Now server is up to date

[unreal crystal]

make sure the server can ping google + has internet; which i'm assuming it does cause you downloaded and set it up.

then; make sure it's a nice static IP; delete + remake pf rules from scratch; and also check your launch commands that it's not bound to something weird. then give the server a reboot and see what happens.

i wouldn't be happy til i can confirm with a port checker that my TCPs open and i know my port forward rules are actually implemented

👀 everything looks right but tastes wrong so best to just axe it with a chainsaw and start clean

sanity check gainst the updated wiki

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

[harsh zodiac]

Good evening, i recently installed and setup a dedicated server using different ports than usual. Now i have an issue that the players "time out" every so long and i have to restart the dedicated server to make him available in the internet again. I have no idea how / why that happens - it seem to not correspond with players joining or leaving or the auto save though.

Do you have any other option on how to analyze / solve that issue? There's sadly no error in the logs either, except for the player's timeout itself. 😦

[thorn cloak]

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

[harsh zodiac]

i actually see no way this helps - because there really isn't a timeout at all. The autosave completes within less than 1 second.

And since the server is not reachable via internet afterwards for more than several minutes (up to the time i restart it manually) it seems more like that the connection to the ports got lost or so?

[thorn cloak]

you mean time out when they are already on the server?

[harsh zodiac]

yes, we're playing like for 20 or 30 minutes and suddnely everyone gets a timeout and the server is unreachable

[unreal crystal]

the only issue i've seen like that is while building blueprints + clearing it; or generally doing a lot of building at once; then it corrupts + disconnects/crashes. i haven't seen that.

does the issue persist if you go back to "normal" ports? i wouldn't trust teh dedi server + changing ports super a lot yet. especially right after a port change

in theory yes; but also in my luck; no.

[harsh zodiac]

i can't go back to normal ports, since there's another server running using those 😦

we're not using blueprints yet, we just started the map, we're in the first hour of gameplay or so, but we built some machines and transport belts in that time though

[unreal crystal]

whats the server hardware + RAM? how many players.

[thorny dew]

For any pterodactyl/pelican users. Basically just the regular satisfactory egg aside from the addition of tick rate customization. If you ever feel like your CPU isn't getting enough love 😂

[harsh zodiac]

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6 core, 64 GB RAM, SSD Drive, 3 players max

[thorny dew]

I'd check system logs and see if your network interface is dropping out

[harsh zodiac]

the network is a 1 GB synchonious connection in a serverhouse connected to a main backbone in my country, so that should'nt be an issue either - but just in case - where can i look for those infos?

[thorny dew]

Technically it shouldn't stay unreachable once the interface pops back up though

[unreal crystal]

i'd also check the servers performance while peoplle are playing; see if your single core is getting crushed or not.

[thorny dew]

Doesn't really matter how fast your connection is if it's unstable

Could be hw issue

As for logs, it depends on your operating system

Windows might have it on event viewer, but I'm not too sure

[harsh zodiac]

but then i would expect issues in other games too, but i never had something like that before at all.

Am Using windows - actually it is only windows 10 pro (no server OS)

[thorny dew]

Are you running servers for other games right now?

And is it also dropping connections?

[harsh zodiac]

yes, and no, other games still work / run smooth

[thorny dew]

huh

weird

[harsh zodiac]

ahh....strangely i see a "not enough memory" error in the event viewer mhmmmmm

[thorny dew]

Good ol' memory leak

[harsh zodiac]

okay, i guess i follow that hint

[thorny dew]

Make sure the error timestamp makes sense

[harsh zodiac]

but strangely windows still got 32 gb of unused memory as reserve

[thorny dew]

Wait, is it hw reserved?

[harsh zodiac]

the error comes ever few seconds over and over again

[thorny dew]

Yeah that's not good

[harsh zodiac]

no, it's just "still empty / not in use"

[thorny dew]

Look up memtest64 from techpowerup and try running that with all bg apps closed

Windows might be having issues allocating a sector from your memory

[harsh zodiac]

now i did shut the server down and the memory messages do not occure any longer - so it is the dedicated server with 100%

[thorny dew]

Well yeah, shut down the app that's using memory and the memory issues stop 😛

[harsh zodiac]

i was just making sure that it is specifically THIS satisfactory server 🙂

strangely, the other does not seem to have the issue at all.

[thorny dew]

That's why I'm asking you to do this

Because if it's a memory issue, you'll find out relatively quickly

Let it cycle a couple times and see if you get errors

[harsh zodiac]

with or without the satisfactory server running?

[thorny dew]

Without

Memtest is better when all your memory is available for it

[harsh zodiac]

how many loops do you suggest?

[thorny dew]

For an absolute stability test, a couple days worth of testing is prob good

[calm mist]

Good morning... trying to copy iin some blueprints to my dedicated server and I cannot.. I am using the WOLVEIX Docker build... When I try, I get access denied...

[thorny dew]

But for now, we're just checking for obvious hw faults

So maybe 5 loops

And see if anything pops up quickly

[harsh zodiac]

the remote session now get's disconnected several times, but reestablishes a connection within the default timeout limit

[thorny dew]

Yeah if memtest is running it'll also slam your cpu

[harsh zodiac]

0 errors though yet

[thorny dew]

So it's to be expected

[harsh zodiac]

(4 loops remaining)

finished with no errors detected

i just heard from a friend, who's hosting the 2nd server, that they have the same issue, but only once a day or so.... mhmmm

[thorny dew]

Also on Windows?

[harsh zodiac]

only some windows components sending an errour that seem to correspond with the memory check itself. Actually "dwm.exe" seemed to have crashed a few times during the test

while, if i understand it correctly , that corresponds to the RDP session?

[thorny dew]

dwm crashing isn't too important

[rapid spindle]

where are you trying to put the blueprints?

[thorny dew]

It's used for fancy effects on start menu and the taskbar

[harsh zodiac]

is it correct, that even when 2 servers are running, there's only one task visible in the task manager?

[thorny dew]

If they're 2 separate processes, then they'll show up separately

[rapid spindle]

I use the same image and mounted my volume, and this is where my blueprints are stored: /Satisfactory/config/saved/blueprints/session-name/

Also, are you on windows/linux?

[drifting hatch]

[2024.09.21-14.39.50:009][  0]LogServer: Display: Server API listening on '[::]:7777' (Standalone)

Open externally.. Can't connect. This is ridiculous xD

[harsh zodiac]

found the other process, no clue where it was hiding :P. It uses about 3.7 GB memory, strangely more than the 2nd server which is running for a few days by now.

[thorny dew]

How are you running your servers?

[harsh zodiac]

and the memory error occur again - even without a player being online

[noble sluice]

What is you command to see that ?

[thorny dew]

Sounds like a windows issue ngl

[drifting hatch]

From the server output on the console

[harsh zodiac]

what do you mean? I downloaded via steam cmd and started the factoryserver.exe with a batch file.

"D:\Games\Mordred\satisfactory\FactoryServer.exe -⁠ServerQueryPort=15003 -⁠BeaconPort=15004 -Port=15005 -log -unattended"

[rapid spindle]

in da logs

If you're using docker you can do docker container logs myContainerName

but it will print a ton if its been up a while lol

[thorny dew]

Aside from server query and beacon port being useless, I don't see anything that would cause crashes every 20-30 minutes tbh

[harsh zodiac]

i copied the settings from the wiki article and changed the ports to free ones.

[thorny dew]

My brain is leaning towards memory management issues if windows is complaing about being out of memory

But idk it could just be another windows quirk

[harsh zodiac]

it might not have smth. to do with the timeouts. i just read a thread where someone explained something about "rapid memory management" and issues in windows but that you could ignore those messages - actually in the event viewer it is only a "warning" but no "error" either

[drifting hatch]

This is ridiculous... everything is verified open... why can't my friend connect. I've scanned it, I've even gone as far as a pass override on pfSense
External host scan:

7777/tcp open          cbt
7777/udp open|filtered cbt

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.36 seconds```
Why won't it allow external connections, this is really frustrating. Either it's bugged or I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what

This is a scan from Akamai

It's frickin open

Why won't it allow damn connections

[noble sluice]

What is your public IP. Just the first number...

[unreal crystal]

you're not crazy; you did it right to the point my port checkers happy too. but that udp filtered looks not right

😵‍💫

[drifting hatch]

No it's exactly correct

That is precisely what the guide reports

That is exactly how it should be

[drifting hatch]

I'll DM you

[unreal crystal]

it's working just fine

i can add it np now @drifting hatch

[harsh zodiac]

thanks for your time, gonna try it again for now, and i am hoping that it will just work for some time before i have to restart.... in case you hear something that might correspond with the issue i'd be happy if you could tell me. Anyway: Thank you very much for your time and trying to help me

[drifting hatch]

Oh okay, finally some progress XD

Thanks!

[thorny dew]

Yeah I'm trying to look around and not really seeing much in terms of leads

About to go get some sleep so all I can tell ya is good luck for now

[harsh zodiac]

tyvm and have a good nite 🙂

[wanton yoke]

anyone have a step by step on how to set up a dedicated server

[dusty vortex]

its in the channel description 🫡

[rapid spindle]

1. Install the server
2. ???
3. Profit

Part two is usually a struggle

[deep mortar]

DAE have the problem where the models for trees/shrubs stay when using the chainsaw despite actually collecting the materials?

[warm peak]

is everyone here getting 100+ ping on their server?

no matter where it's hosted?

or just me

[warm peak]

omg

how

selfhost?

[deep mortar]

Yeah. Lan

[warm peak]

well that'll do it

[rapid spindle]

It definitely has more latency than other games. On LAN it should be like 0-2ms, but its often higher.

[deep mortar]

So, satisfactory automatically due to it's Tick rate default (of 30 per second) seems to add about 10-15ms of Ping off the bat

I was getting an average of 20 ms ping locally until i upped the tick rate to 60

the other 80 ping you're averaging is likely ISP related

[warm peak]

definitely not ISp

[deep mortar]

I'm using ISP as an over generalization for everything between you and the server

[warm peak]

yeah

I'm using shockbyte

[deep mortar]

it's possible that Satisfactory isn't just adding a set chunk of ping, but is instead multiplicative based on the ping. So, using my LAN As an example

I'd get a 1ms ping normally

but with a 60 tick rate it puts me at 8-10

lets say your ping would normally be 20

it's multiplying that by x amount

hypothetical, pulled out of myass numbers, but if you had a 'real' ping of 20, maybe you get 100 ms ping b/c satisfactory

[calm mist]

How did you mount the volume? Form Docker command line??

[deep mortar]

and if it was 50 maybe you'd get a 180 ms ping

[rocky raptor]

HELP wtf do I do when the game kicks me, and when I log back in it sees me as a new char? And that my old me with my name is still on the map

I would prefer to get my equipment and pockets back

[warm peak]

interesting

my animations are also bugged

like

super laggy

[rocky raptor]

No death crate because my clone is still alive

[rapid spindle]

just wait longer before you reconnect, if you can't get your old character back beat him to death with your new one

[rocky raptor]

Doesn't get the equipment though

[noble sluice]

From my VPS in Germany...

[deep mortar]

Taking hate myself to a whole new level

[spring chasm]

Oddy server doesn't recognize me as admin anymore and asks for a password I don't remember ever setting lol

[dusty vortex]

find your old body, beat it to death and recover your items.
to prevent happing gain in future, wait at least 30 seconds before rejoining the world.

[rocky raptor]

Is there a way to turn off keeping equipment on death, so I can kill old me and take his stuff, and then re-enable it?

Never mind, murdering his ass drops all my gear SWEET

[rapid spindle]

Yea when you initially run the command or compose you have the option to specify a volume in your file system.

I used the command line to create mine so my volume was defined on this line --volume /home/user/Game-Servers/Satisfactory/config:/config:z \

You don't need the :z unless your linux distro has selinux

If you didn't mount the volume, you might have a random volume somewhere.

[deep mortar]

if you ping the server address outside of satisfactory, what is your roundtrip time?

[deep mortar]

So I just did a test with a server I helped someone else with earlier this week. Satisfactory reports their server to me at ~100 ms, but when I ping their IP directly i get ~75

[warm peak]

hmm

any idea why the animations are bugged

[deep mortar]

well

[warm peak]

it's playable

just sucks

[deep mortar]

Mine does that occasionally and rebooting the server usually helps

[warm peak]

I was thinking maybe tickrate but it's a pain to change

[deep mortar]

out of curiosity, what's your average tickrate on the server manager screen?

[warm peak]

30

[deep mortar]

I upped mine to 60, and it made no difference to me (I just liked seeing a smaller ping on my LAN)

but I do get jittery fog at distance

and some steel textures "jiggle"

Have you already tried the base troubleshooting shenanigans like verifying files, rebooting, updating drivers, etc

[warm peak]

yes

it also doesn't happen on local save

[deep mortar]

I would try upping the tick rate if your server can handle it. but honestly I doubt that's the problem.

[rapid spindle]

Could just be shockbyte being not great

[deep mortar]

That may well be the final answer @rapid spindle

[warm peak]

yeah

:/

[deep mortar]

Like, I'm, being driven mad by the fact that I can't properly build because trees won't dissapear even though i've "cut" them down

models prevent me from lining shit up properly

but I've tried everything i can think of

[rapid spindle]

Is that like the ghost foundation bug? If you reconnect do they disappear, or is it permanent?

[deep mortar]

Permanent

I've rebooted

reconnected

updated the server

etc

[rapid spindle]

Just foliage?

[deep mortar]

No

Any destructables except rocks that block things

and gas nodes

So it's really just "Trees" leaves and mushrooms

Actually. Now that I think about it

no, it's that

What is super weird though

if I try blowing up the trees, same thing, but i can sort of clip through them afterwords

gas nodes destruct just fine

but what's super wacky is, if I pick up leaves by hand, even after the chainsaw has "harvested" them

they do go away

but that doesn't work for trees

It also wasn't doing that originally, and started at some point, but I don't know when to revert a save and now it's been too long

[rapid spindle]

This thread has some tips that may or may not work: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e6e968772a987f4a8b1b91

[deep mortar]

Thank you! I was looking for something online and wasn't having any luck

[dim sun]

Have you gotten this working yet? We are running into the same issue and I can't seem to solve it

[mossy grove]

Would someone mind assisting me with an issue on my server, I have it setup and running but I figured out when setting it up that when I have my nord VPN active on the server it starts error and stops running saying it can't bind to port 7777 however I use nord VPN split tunnelling to only enable the vpn for specific applications which it is not on that list, anyone got any ideas?

[dusty vortex]

If it cannot bind to a port it usually means something else is already using said port.

[mossy grove]

Nothing is running on that port, the second I turn the vpn off it runs perfectly

[dusty vortex]

If it split tunnel, then does the VPN present itself as another network adapter?
Maybe the game is trying to bind the port on the VPN adaptor?
(I don't use Nord so I'm uncertain of it's nuances)

[mossy grove]

Would you recommend a different VPN that also has split tunnelling as I have services that depend upon them

[dusty vortex]

You might be able try use the multihome argument and define specifically which network adapter you wish for the game to listen on.

[mossy grove]

Is this in the engine.ini?

[dusty vortex]

In the launch command...
So in your .bat file to run the .exe (assuming windows) where you may have -log -unattended -multihome=IP.you.want.use

[mossy grove]

I currently dont even have a .bat lol, could you give me an example template?

[dusty vortex]

Then try adding -multihome=192.168.x.x or whatever the IP of the adapter you wish to use is

[mossy grove]

This worked, thank you kindly, very happy now that everything can run on the same server, you are a life saver 😄

[dusty vortex]

Glad it worked 🙂

[past sparrow]

Hey folks, can anyone point me towards fixing this error I keep getting?

[verbal wigeon]

We tried this, but the uninstall command doesn't work

[thorn cloak]

i don't think it dose somenthing too but i used it anyway, you have to remove the server directory and download it again

[deep mortar]

That seems to track with the Satisfactory adding an additional 15-20 ping to whatever your normal connection is (depending on tick rate)

[noble sluice]

Then it's good this isn't a action paced FPS game....

[minor panther]

Hmm. That homing ammunition is not really convincin on a server.

Q: On a server, hostile mobs always aim at me, never at my co-players. Known issue? 🙂

[hollow ruin]

how do i get console commands working on a online hosted dedicated server?

[whole leaf]

Anyone had an issue where when starting new dedicated servers, and connecting to it you are nowhere near a drop pod to disassemble? there's two of us, and neither of us have been able to find the drop pod to dismantle to make a HUB. This is the first time I'm encountering this issue in my time playing the game

[hollow ruin]

currently get "command not recognized" on my player console and on the server console

[noble sluice]

What kind of commands are you trying?

[dusty vortex]

On dedicated server there is no drop pod, you already have the materials required to build a hub.
Dedicated server skips the onboarding stage and starts at T2.
The Devs are considering changing this, but as it is now, this is expected behaviour.

[tawdry crown]

guys I got a pretty major issue, I logged on a server me and some friends have and my whole inventory fully disappeared

[whole leaf]

That would be fine, if either of us started with hub parts, we did not.

[dusty vortex]

Did you happen to get disconnected less than 30seconds before you joined?

[tawdry crown]

more than 20 hours actually

[abstract garnet]

hub is built with iron ore iirc. There are no longer hub parts

[humble dock]

Having this issue myself, how would i remove the server directory? when i type app_uninstall 1690800 nothing happens

[whole leaf]

ahh.... then that's the difference I wasn't expecting. didn't know that was changed.

[thorn cloak]

right click delete

[dusty vortex]

Delete folder

[thorn cloak]

rm -rf /path/to/folder

if linux

[abstract garnet]

rm -rf gives no output and asks no confirmation. Be sure te write correct path

[dusty vortex]

It's not changed (always been that way for dedicated server)... But it's a difference 👍

[tawdry crown]

guys??

[abstract garnet]

bug. You started as a new character? Kill your old one and loot

[dusty vortex]

You already asked, I provided a response, be patient for other to follow

[hollow ruin]

none work. tried mant

many

[tawdry crown]

your response was a question and silence after that, I don't want the message to be lost and with no response from all the messages being sent

[dusty vortex]

20hrs is more than enough time to pass , so it's possible it's a new bug that we don't know a workaround for to prevent happening again.

What you can do is find the old body and beat it to death to recover the items in inventory

[tawdry crown]

I was in the same spot I logged off yesterday, I didn't die

we now rolled back 13 hours for the oldest save we have and still don't have the items

[dusty vortex]

One does not die after disconnecting. So it's kinda irelavent.

However the known bug where this does happen usually occurs when players instantly rejoin after being disconnected.

In you case it may well be a new bug that there is not some known fix or advice to avoid happening again.

If you have a new body, then you could try looking for the old body to beat to death to recover items.

If there is no new/old bodies but you still no items, try fully restarting the server. Otherwise I'm not aware of any further suggestions to either fix your issue or prevent it in the future.
It could be a new bug.

[tawdry crown]

restart as in starting from the beginning?

[dusty vortex]

You could try loading the save into the SCIM online save editor to see if you can find bodies or items as a last ditch attempt

[dusty vortex]

No. As in stop the server, start the server

[tawdry crown]

ah

we already did that

[dusty vortex]

Try the save editor is my last suggestion. Sorry I can't help more.

[tawdry crown]

what is the save editor?

[dusty vortex]

Google SCIM save editor.... It's an online too to edit saves

[elfin ether]

If i do this will the savegame file remain intact? and does someone know where it is located? (on linux)

[thorn cloak]

~/.config/epic there are your savegames

[stoic stream]

Everytime the server restarts on it's own, it doesnt' come back up, the command prompt is there but it doesn't work. Is this a bug?

[thorn cloak]

try to run it as a service

[sour parcel]

just uploaded a new version of the Satisfactory Dedicated server toolkit to https://github.com/oarko/SF-ToolsPHP Save Uploads now work, and ALL API features have been implemented. Also the example will allow you to download, delete and Upload save files now.

[broken parcel]

hi there, can someone remind me how to unlock ram usage on my server?

[thorn cloak]

not sure what do you mean.. how is the ram "locked"

[broken parcel]

on update 8 there was a command that didn't limit ram usage from the actual server

not using it lowered the ram usage by loads but still like belts and vehicles were slighlty bugged

[thorn cloak]

idk about that

[native orchid]

Been running a server on an ec2 instance for some days now for 2-3 players, but having issues when one player is exploring and certain parts of the map, we have not gotten to any large factory builds yet so I would not expect it to be related to amount of buildables.

The issues manifests itself with sudden lag and looking in the server manager, the ping spikes from being 20-25ms to 300-400ms, making us all lag

Looking at my server, it seems that have 4GB mem used, with around the same cached/reserved and 6GB free, and the CPU are only consistently running at ~20% without any spike

Been scratching my head around solving it, as I noticed next to no improvement by increasing available resources

Anyone recognize this problem?

[versed aspen]

any tips for optimizing a dedicated server running on ubuntu?

[near ledge]

do i need a particularly powerful computer to run a dedicated server?

[frank charm]

This is similar to what my friends are saying they’re running into

[near ledge]

where there’ll probably be like 2 people max playing at the same time

because i have an old laptop i could use to make a server

[thorn cloak]

Processor Recent (comparable to the i5-3570 [Intel] or Ryzen 5 3600 [AMD] or better) x86/64 (AMD/Intel) processor. No 32 bit or ARM support. The server favours higher single-core performance over multiple cores.
Memory 12GB minimum, 16GB RAM is recommended for larger saves or to host more than 4 players.
Storage 25GB for the game server itself
Operating System Any currently supported version of Windows or major Linux distribution. Out-of-support OSs such as Windows 7 are explicitly not supported.
Internet Connection Broadband internet connection. Hosting from home will require the ability to configure port forwarding.

[frank charm]

High single core performance and 12-16GB RAM

[near ledge]

would it just not work since i have 8gb

[thorn cloak]

I have this problem too. Tried to increase server tick rate and network quality on high but i didn't tested it yet

[frosty meadow]

Hello all, i'm having issues making my friends join my dedicated server, i spent my day on tutorials, i cant find....

can anyone help me ? 😦

[thorn cloak]

What's the problem?

[frosty meadow]

they can't find the session

[thorn cloak]

You port forwarded the server?

[frosty meadow]

yep i did

i mean i guess

[thorn cloak]

What router you have?

[frosty meadow]

french (sfr) one

[frank charm]

How’d you increase tick rate/ set network quality on high?

[thorn cloak]

linux or windows?

[frank charm]

Linux

[slow bloom]

Have you checked for CGNAT?

[rapid spindle]

I see the wolviex docker container uses this in the startup parameters (if you have streaming disabled): -ini:Engine:[ConsoleVariables]:wp.Runtime.EnableServerStreaming=0
I can't find the option at all in any config files so it must be something like that in the console or startup script.

[frosty meadow]

nope, how to do that ?

[broken parcel]

[ConsoleVariables]
wp.Runtime.EnableServerStreaming=0

this was what i used

[thorn cloak]

sadly can't help with exact instructions for that router, find a way to check if port 7777 is opened on your ip

[slow bloom]

Check the WAN IP in your router, then google "what is my IP", if they match, there's no CG-nat, if they don't, you're behind CG-nat and need to find a way to punch through it

[frosty meadow]

is that trigger or redirect that need to be set ?

[thorn cloak]

trigger

i think

on most routers it's called Port Forwarding

[frosty meadow]

i'll try

[thorn cloak]

go to your server dir then /FactoryGame/Game/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini and add this at the end of the file. Replace xx with the value you want. 30 is default

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]
NetServerMaxTickRate=xx
LanServerMaxTickRate=xx

[/Script/SocketSubsystemEpic.EpicNetDriver]
NetServerMaxTickRate=xx
LanServerMaxTickRate=xx

[/Script/Engine.Engine]
NetClientTicksPerSecond=xx

[frosty meadow]

i have the feeling that ipv6 is the issue

[thorn cloak]

you use ipv6 on the server or on the router?

[frank charm]

Nice thanks! Assume network quality is in there somewhere too?

[frosty meadow]

on router the ipv6 is runing yes

[bitter oriole]

Still keep getting crashes when removing belts on dedicated server, very frustrating

[thorn cloak]

For network config yeah, it's there. I don't know the values but you can go in game console and type FG.NetworkQuality x

3 is ultra

[thorn cloak]

then you have to start the server with ipv6 I presume

[frosty meadow]

how to do that with steam dedicated server?

[thorn cloak]

linux or windows?

[frosty meadow]

windows

[frank charm]

Dope thank you. We’ll give this a try in a bit.

[thorn cloak]

idk how but try to add multihome=your ip as argument when you start the server

but by default server is runing at 0.0.0.0

[latent raven]

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

would be ultra

[thorn cloak]

.\FactoryServer.exe -multihome=2001:0:130F:0:0:9C0:876A:130B

should be like that

[frosty meadow]

where after the egal sign my ipv6 adress ?

[thorn cloak]

yes

[stoic stream]

I am FURIOUS at these dedicated server bugs now

[broken parcel]

guys why is my server lagging so mucu?

update 8 was stuck on 25ms and 30 tickrate, now 1.0 it's 200ms 17 tickrate

the server i'm running it on is the same, like litterally nothing has changed

[turbid knot]

people on my dedicated server say they're often missing their inventory and sometimes have to detach and reattach items like jetpacks to make them work

[grim dew]

Version mismatch between client and dedicated server. Yet there is no update for the dedicated server...

[thorn cloak]

remove the server folder and install it again, you will get it updated

[grim dew]

So basically reinstall the server.

[thorn cloak]

yes

[grim dew]

Did it. Now I'm getting an error "core dump" or something... Had it earlier and it fixed itself...

[small edge]

Thanks for your ip address lol

[quasi kettle]

1.0 is hardly a nothing change.

[frank charm]

I think they meant the server HW hasn’t changed

[glad osprey]

Anyone here who has some idea how to debug more ah, advanced connections?
I spun up server, and everything I'm trying is saying stuff works like I expected, but the game client doesn't seem to find it.

My setup: on another local machine, I spun up docker image in k3s, exposed both 7777 ports via service & traefik, forwarded them on router

• traefik says my ports are exposed & connected to the proper kubernetes url
• telneting to 7777 opens connection (with no info) - both on local IP, and from outside of my LAN network
• server logs end with "listening on 0.0.0.0:7777", which should be ok
• but game just stay that server is Offline in logs

[broken parcel]

exactly

[worldly meadow]

Traefik likely won’t work with this because 7777 requires both tcp and udp you can’t route udp the same way because there is no concept of SNI with udp

[glad osprey]

I've setup both TCP & UDP connections on 7777 in Traefik and it's happy 🤔

[worldly meadow]

Yes but UDP on traefik is only for load balancing. It’s going to cause all kinds of problems with it being in the middle there interrupting a UDP stream. The game sever thinks that traefik is the end point. It’s going to break a lot of stuff

[noble sluice]

Since it's local why don't you just connect directly to instance?

[flat skiff]

are there public servers?

[glad osprey]

A similar setup to this worked before, on I think around experimental 6? It shouldn't be a problem that I'm routing UDP trough traefik afaik.
Only thing that change is that ports are now same... you think that is causing the problems?

[glad osprey]

Because it's on another local machine, and it doesn't forward the kubernete IPs.

[dusty vortex]

https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1201555265942724758

[worldly meadow]

I think it’s the UDP routing that’s causing an issue. The server isn’t built to be behind a proxy like that.

Try it without it and see if you still have the same issue.

[supple ember]

Can some one help with this? I played with my friends before, but now I can join, but my friends can't, and I don't know what to do. I'm using Pterodactyl with a completely new installation of the egg and server, so multihome arguments, etc., are gone (I think). Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? Please help.

[glad osprey]

I can make the services directly a LoadBalancer and connect to that
lemme try

[noble sluice]

Sorry. can't help. I got no experience with K8s

[gritty anchor]

Is it still possible to customize the game data so that more than 4 players can play in multiplayer?

[worldly meadow]

Yes. I have mine set to 8 players

[gritty anchor]

How?

My error:

[worldly meadow]

You need to modify the Game.ini file the dedicated game server wiki tells you how exactly.

[gritty anchor]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/b4fvzb/how_to_have_more_than_4_people_in_multiplayer_in/

so?

can you send me the link per dm

pls

[peak pagoda]

Hey guys, did you encounter a bug in which everyone that try to join ends up in infinite loading screen but can still hear the beep noise when pressing "tab" and also the time of the server continue running (which mean that we are on the server but something locks us from actually playing ? I don't want to waste away a 100h save (My whole folder does this on the serv)...

[gritty anchor]

pls per dm

[worldly meadow]

I can’t at the moment. I don’t have access to it. If you google “satisfactory dedicated game severe” it should be one of the first couple links

[gritty anchor]

Cannot find it, can you send it per direct message?

[worldly meadow]

As I said I can’t right now. I’m not at my computer

[gritty anchor]

send the link one more time i record the screen

@worldly meadow pls

[glad osprey]

Hmmm, interesting. It seems to work directly via LoadBalancers on (new) local IP
Probably will work from outside if I just change where I'm forwarding on router

Still have no idea why, because it worked trough Traefik when we had 3 ports 🤔

[worldly meadow]

For the third time. I can’t. It’s not possible where I am right now.

[safe badger]

is there server with over 3 people like 100? I want to but game but not sure

[gritty anchor]

got it

[ashen mural]

is it normal that I can not paint power poles in 1.0?

[topaz glade]

anyone else running on a dedicated server crash during a save and having people lose stuff?

[turbid knot]

seems to be

[topaz glade]

(it's happened twice to day)

[ashen mural]

is it a bug that will be fixed?

kind of hard to organise different power grids this way

[muted hill]

I think someone has to add it to the official QA Satisfactory site thingy.

[supple ember]

Can some one help with this? I played with my friends before, but now I can join, but my friends can't, and I don't know what to do. I'm using Pterodactyl with a completely new installation of the egg and server, so multihome arguments, etc., are gone (I think). Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? Please help.

[mystic blade]

Is it possible to change the time that the server restarts? I understand that it's needed every 24h, but now it restarts at 00:00 and I would like to change it to 04:00 for example.

[pliant cairn]

Hiya! My server just restarted, and that's fine.. I understand the need for it.. However, it doesn't actually RESTART, it just shuts down and thinks it restarted.. Server is very much offline for me..
I have to manually exit the cmd and start it up again

Is there a way for me to fix that?

[radiant berry]

Are you in the swamp at all?

[main remnant]

un cuarto

[last marten]

anyone know how to fix the server mismatch error

[pliant cairn]

You have to manually "re"-install the server the same you did when you first installed it

It needs an update

[radiant berry]

Update your server

Server doesn't automatically update

Not many do

[pliant cairn]

For me the regular "update" didn't work, so I had to do the whole thing again

[last marten]

do i just run a command prompt in the cmd

[pliant cairn]

In the steamcmd, yes.

[last marten]

alr let me try real quick

[pliant cairn]

Same commandprompt with the appid and update validate thingy

[deep mortar]

No, but it happens everywhere

[near ledge]

is it possible to make a server with only 8gb of ram?

[pliant cairn]

If you have trouble getting it to work, I can guide you with screensharing.. Only if you're comfortable with it.

[last marten]

like that

[pliant cairn]

Almost, you should validate it too

[last marten]

alr lemme re do ot

it

[radiant berry]

I'm doing a lot of work in the swamp, my buddy wasn't having these problems until he came to the swamp and cut something down then when he reloged all the foliage respawned client side for him. He said he went back to the hub, which was in rocky desert for us. And relogged a few times and it fixed it for him until he went back to the swamp and cut another thing down. @deep mortar

That's what he just told me

[deep mortar]

Appreciate the addtnl info. Unfortunately its been several days and no matter what i do it doesnt seen to help

[worldly meadow]

I want to say yes but you might run into strange problems. We only just started my sever and it takes up 8GB itself

[pliant cairn]

login anonymous
app_update 1690800 validate

Should be like this.

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone

[last marten]

then quit right

[pliant cairn]

Then quit, yes

[reef python]

Hey yall. Ambitious little me would like to run a server for this game with my friends. I've never attempted this before. Do I need to own Satisfactory on Steam instead of Epic Games to run a dedicated server?

[radiant berry]

I'm going to try that when i get home, it fixed for me after the patch before i blew up another tree

It's purely a clientside issue

The trees are still destroyed serverside

The issue seems like some kind of synchronization error

[last marten]

@pliant cairn i unfortunately still get the same mismatch error,

[radiant berry]

I wonder if it's related to that foliage crash

[pliant cairn]

Yeah, that's what happened to me as well

[radiant berry]

There's a few landmine foliage errors

And if you trip it, it causes some kind of cascade error

[noble sluice]

Dedicated server runs without any account at Steam or Epic...

[thorn cloak]

delete the server folder and install the server again

[last marten]

how do i retain the saves

[thorn cloak]

linux?

[pliant cairn]

You can do that, however, what I did was just run the install command again, without deleting the existing one, and it just worked when I did the update right after.

[last marten]

windows

[pliant cairn]

Savefiles are located in %appdata% on windows.

Deleting the server files won't affect your saves

[thorn cloak]

separate locations

[thorn cloak]

not working every time

[pliant cairn]

I've only done it once, and it worked for me. So currently for me it's a 100% success rate 🤣

[reef python]

Is there a guide of where to start on Steam? I can't find a way to download anything for servers from Steam.

[thorn cloak]

Windows?

[pliant cairn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NIYZHxYcas
I followed this guy, don't know if this is what you're after, but this sure seems to work for me.

[reef python]

Using linux. I'm on my Mint desktop rn doing a dry run but it'll be on a debian machine when I install it for real.

lol

[thorn cloak]

And after that server with

steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

[rain pine]

wich egg are you using? https://github.com/pelican-eggs/games-steamcmd/tree/main/satisfactory ? use the one with ptero name in it,
startup should be ./Engine/Binaries/Linux/*-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame -Port=7777 Port should be the one you have assigned to it.

[calm mist]

I am using a Docker on UNRAID... I see the Blueprint folder, I just cannot safe external files in tehre

[reef python]

Thanks for that video. I think I'm off to the races, now.

[pliant cairn]

Ofc! No worries 😄

[rapid spindle]

Its because the folder is owned by the docker user. You should be able to copy the files in to somewhere you have ownership, then use sudo to copy them in. You may also have to change the ownership of the files to the docker user

[calm mist]

I am using UNRAID with a Docker... I cannot seem to write files to the blueprint directory... it states I lack permissions...

[rapid spindle]

Or just use sudo in the first place

[calm mist]

Is there a way I can get my user to have permissions in the folder?

[quick mist]

set the user to be the owner of the directory, or put the user in a group that is the same group that has permissions to the directory

[spiral goblet]

Anybody getting this error? I get it 2-4 times a day and it crashes the server.

Think I got it blacked out better. :3 Sorry for any extra alerts anybody got.

[sturdy parrot]

Is there a good dedicated server host I should look at for a 5-6 person server? I am running it on my local machine, but I feel like half the time I log off, the server dies... and I don't have a bonus computer to host it on separately

[long junco]

Trucks are actually cursed, judging by the lack of reports I'd assume it's a dedicated server thing and almost all my crashes have been cause of interacting with trucks

[radiant berry]

What's your server?

i just tried a theory on mine and it fixed it temporarily it seems

[reef python]

Alright. What am I doing wrong? Just following the guide I found and this happens.

Steam>app_update 526870 validate
ERROR! Failed to install app '526870' (No subscription)

[night spear]

Try indifferent broccoli

[noble sluice]

Wrong app_id...
1690800 is the correct one.

[short latch]

I'm looking for someone on a new world 18+ dedicated server that wouldn't mind showing me how to play this game lol I can't get past tier 2

[reef python]

Thank you. I sort of figured it out. I logged out of my new Steam account I just made for this and used anonymous instead. That and using the right appid seemed to work.

[grim mica]

Better to check out the looking for group channel or make your own post

[short latch]

Oh is this not where when it involves dedicated servers

Lol sorry

[grim mica]

Maybe they should rename it dedicated server support, cause that's generally what we do in here rather than lfg/lfm

[ashen hatch]

Keep getting errors in my console and the server frequently crashes

[mellow gust]

Should I be setting a proper HTTPS certificate somewhere for the server, assuming I point a domain at it?

[clear field]

Does anyone know if there Is a way to to send a message to the server to notify those playing that the server will be Shutting down? Other then the auto reboot that the server already does.

[still canyon]

I'm not sure that there even is a way to send anything to the game from server

[mellow gust]

cool, got it working, just use certbot, but follow the directions for "wildcard" (so it uses a DNS challenge; unless ofc you have port 80 pointing at your satisfactory server too) and use your cloudflare token (assuming you use CloudFlare for DNS)

then just symlink from the certbot directly into the Certificates folder

no longer prompts about trusting it

am encountering the bug where users must join through the manage server tab rather than "join game", but from that wiki that is expected?

[crisp loom]

using joing game works sporadically as far as I have seen, but server manager is best bet

is there a wiki article for running the server as a service on linux? I have to leave my ssh terminal up or the server will go down

[mellow gust]

yeah you just add it to systemd

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

[crisp loom]

oh okay duh

thanks

[vale tusk]

I've checked the QA page, and found a couple other posts similar to my issue, but haven't been able to find if there's a fix for it -- various splitters/mergers/smart splitters will pause items coming into them, backing up the belt lines. throughput is definitely not the issue, as it's occurring on mk4 belts with only 90 items trying to flow through, and there's empty belts on the outputs

[merry peak]

Has anyone run into an issue where the dedicated server won't launch at all? I'm on a windows server VM. Get the same behavior through SteamCMD or Steam

Is there a dependency I'm missing?

[topaz scarab]

dunno, try the vc redist tho

[iron scarab]

i get this constantly. now more than i have ever did in early access. and there does not seem to be a fix that i can find.

[tall moss]

my game crashed and when i logged back into my server it had given me a fresh character and now my old one with the same name is offline? anyone else seen this before??

i cant even log into my main guy anymore, idk what to do

[topaz scarab]

revert to a previous save?

[tall moss]

idk i just killed my clone and looted him, i hope that doesnt cause problems later down the line

[topaz scarab]

anyone got a list of the milestones/schematic/phases that the query server state api call returns

[still canyon]

it returns milestones?

[topaz scarab]

active schematic

[still canyon]

My test server is empty)))
Probably need to load some saves to check this data

I have the same question about settings. Do we have full list of all Server Options and Advanced Game Settings?

[opal cove]

https://github.com/Goz3rr/SatisfactorySaveEditor/blob/master/Reference Materials/Schematics.txt id say

since mine return "activeSchematic": "/Script/Engine.BlueprintGeneratedClass'/Game/FactoryGame/Schematics/Progression/Schematic_7-2.Schematic_7-2_C'", and that look like an unreal asset, up to date list you'd probably have to extract them yourself

[still canyon]

this is really what api responded with?? 😳

[opal cove]

yup

[still canyon]

damh

some big data mapping ahead))

[opal cove]

probably not as much as you'd think, since it can all be extracted from the game files

ie https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/ReuseGameFiles.html

[still canyon]

yeah, but i need to assign readable labels to all of that, or smt like that

[quick mist]

Schematic_7-2 seems to mean Tier 7, Milestone 2. Can you confirm @opal cove ?

[opal cove]

let me log in to check

server manager says "Logistics Mk.5" as a string

[still canyon]

oh, thats pretty))

[opal cove]

and that is the 3rd milestone in tier 7, so im not sure how they map it exactly

[quick mist]

milestones might be 0-indexed, which would make sense as the first tier is Tier 0

[opal cove]

i think they just reordered them, changed it to the 5th milestone in the list and now it's "activeSchematic": "/Script/Engine.BlueprintGeneratedClass'/Game/FactoryGame/Schematics/Progression/Schematic_7-5.Schematic_7-5_C'",

already researched the others, so i cant check them

[still canyon]

They have subtypes like 8-5 and 8-5-1, maybe that messes the numbers

[topaz scarab]

oh scim has a nice list, if you can call it one

[latent raven]

The game needs those too, I would look into the translation files. Since they are looking for help, you should probably be able to access that data somehow.

[topaz scarab]

and never mind, scim's is outdated

it's got logistics mk5 as 7-2_C
oh misread

sucks scim is closed source
nothing some browser js can't ez scrape tho

[opal cove]

nice

[topaz scarab]

unfortunately only gets me half the property name
oh just remove the "c"
but they're all jumbled up, coffee stain probably reordered and couldn't rename for save compat

[lyric thorn]

has anybody had experience using a server save on singleplayer, then having coordinate issues when loading the save back into the server?

[vagrant ravine]

Is there a way to disable the server rebooting automatically at midnight?

[lyric thorn]

that will probably be down to the autosave interval

[analog minnow]

[quartz lotus]

have you tried getting better wifi?

[analog minnow]

?? connection?

[quartz lotus]

fluke

[vagrant ravine]

It doesn't matter when I start the server, it restarts automatically at midnight every day

[quick mist]

Had an interesting issue on my server tonight. Player's client crashed and he reconnected, and he popped in with a new body. Yeah, that happens, go beat your old self up and move on, right?

He went to where his former self-marker was, and as soon as he got close, it teleported to a completely different section of the map.

This happened five times in a row.

[viscid light]

I crashed and now cannot log back into my character. It starts me with a brand new character. I control the server. I restarted server. No change. Any idea what I can do to fix it?

[topaz scarab]

rollback a save

[topaz scarab]

anyway context and show-off

not open sores because it's traaaash
lol the discordgsm pull req only does the lightweight api smh

[prime zodiac]

Anyone found a work-around for ded. server crash when trying to remove corrupt splitter (from blueprint)?

[lyric thorn]

heyo, apology for ping. did you have any sort of solution to getting rid of these? i find they still exist as a hitbox but unable to select them or place over them.

My hypothesis is that everything except the hitbox is sitting at 0, 0 as whenever i place a new one, the materials travel in that direction

[vestal tartan]

I've allocated 16 gigs of ram to my dedicated linux server as an lxc in proxmox but the server is capping at 4 gigs. Does anyone know why?

[topaz scarab]

because it wants to
sometimes it uses a bit over 5 with two players on

and prob depends on your factory

either way, nothing you/we can fix

[vestal tartan]

We have 4 people on right now all with around 300 ping. Even me and I'm on the server via LAN.

The cores I'm using on this server are i5-8500t

[topaz scarab]

is your cpu scaling governor on powersave

anyway, mine's on a similar proc and it'll also lag when it hits a core at 100%

[vestal tartan]

I don't believe so, I think it boosts the core automatically

[topaz scarab]

solution was to run it on a rig with a better proc

[vestal tartan]

It's the only container running on that machine, so it should be a bit over 3 ghz

weird

[stoic wadi]

Has anyone managed to import downloaded blueprints into a unraid server, i've tried everything I can think of but literally nothing seems to work

[topaz scarab]

blueprints are fucked rn anyway

[stoic wadi]

Ah ok fair haha

Even manually created ones?

[quasi kettle]

3ghz only is gonna have a bad time

[vestal tartan]

Dang, so what would be a good clock speed?

[gaunt ingot]

So I have this weird connection problem with my server. I run satisfactory on my pterodactyl server running on Ubuntu which hosts several other games, like Minecraft, without a problem. For some reason with satisfactory though, the server always appears offline, unless I use the following command first:
Test-NetConnection <server ip> -Port 7777
After using that command I can connect just fine. Would someone perhaps know why this could be happening? Already turned off the firewall completely to make sure it's not a firewall issue.

[topaz scarab]

port knock huh

[gaunt ingot]

Not sure what it is, but I have to run that command everytime the windows PC that wants to join the server has restarted

[topaz scarab]

now you're saying it's the client device?

[wild nacelle]

you may turned of FW on different network type than your currently connected network - home/public/..

[gaunt ingot]

It's specifically related to that server though, but I guess it's some kind of network config issue on the server, perhaps not specifically related satisfactory. If I host the satisfactory server on another machine it just works fine. Was mostly wondering if someone else maybe had the same issue with this game and had a solution ready 😂

[gaunt ingot]

On the server you mean?

[wild nacelle]

no on windows client

[late perch]

anyon got a dedicated server in asia that i can join im looking for someone to play with pls

[fringe yarrow]

For a factory game, I don't think ping is a big deal, it should still be around 300ms if you are on the other side of the world.

[thorny atlas]

my router is asking for an external and internal port, both have to be filled in before i can do a port assignment. what should i put for these, on my firewall i have already made rules for both tcp and udp, technically im asking if i need to even forward in the router, but also need to test that people can connect

[latent raven]

they just need to be open to access your pc. Forward port (7777) to your pc (also on 7777).

[thorny atlas]

ok sweet, yeah i put both internal and external to 7777

[sudden sphinx]

Please help, my absolute brothers, why dedicated server does SERVER MISSMATCH, pls my browski

[thorny atlas]

versions dont match?

[sudden sphinx]

yeah for sure bro but how to fix ?

[latent raven]

shut it down, and update it

[thorny atlas]

^

[thorny atlas]

yeah server just needs to go down and update and should solve the issue, unless your not the one hosting

[sudden sphinx]

im host but im not sure how to update it

[thorny atlas]

did you install using steamcmd

[sudden sphinx]

yes sir

[thorny atlas]

steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit ( i think)

just make sure to close the server before doing that

[thorny atlas]

would you wanna test to see if u can connect to my server? my peoples be sleeping

[sudden sphinx]

im on it, thanks a lot, i hope it will work 🙂

it is downloading something so

does my firewall needs to be disabled? do i need to run cmd' s as admin?

[thorny atlas]

yeah its gunna download then validate the files then close

to be honest im not sure i wouldnt think its gunna matter for admin

and no to the firewall closing should be able to pass through

[supple ember]

I've done it a few times before, and yes I'm using the right egg, I have the right port, and I have udp and tcp on it, so I don't really know what I'm doing wrong anymore, anyone have any idea?

[sudden sphinx]

still same problem sadly

any other ways to update?

[late perch]

nah is a big deal

is unplayable

im in vietnam

a guy in north america had a server

it lag like hsiot

[fringe yarrow]

Maybe lay between your ISP and your computer is high?

[rain pine]

you can try add this ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any in the startup ?

[fringe yarrow]

La,g*

[latent raven]

I could do that now, if you still need it.

[sudden sphinx]

I fixed version mismatch but. I can join session just fine but my friend cant join it

Please help I’m trying to play whit my friend for like 3 days already

Should he join in diffrent way?

[gaunt ingot]

Is that on a dedicated server? If so, if the friend is on windows, try to see if running this command in Commandprompt/terminal fixes it: (the friend should run it on their computer). (also replace <ip> with the ip of the server)
Test-NetConnection <ip> -Port 7777
If not, probably post the output here

[frosty gale]

how to create a dedicated server

[sudden sphinx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NIYZHxYcas&t=418s

youtube it

[supple ember]

The start up command is currently as follows: ./Engine/Binaries/Linux/*-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame -Port={{SERVER_PORT}}

How should I change it, because I think that what you wrote won't even run the server

[sudden sphinx]

Im sorry, but idont know where to do it.
does not provide any results in cmd

[latent raven]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#My_players_can't_join_my_server_!!!
Have them add your server using the Server Manager, then join through there.
Using 'Join Game' may be broken.

[latent raven]

You need to open port 7777 udp+tcp
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Port_Forwarding_and_Firewall_Settings

[neat fulcrum]

Does the dedicated server "stop" when the last person disconnects? I should have way more of a certain resource than i do.

[noble valve]

it pauses the game, but it does not free memory if i am right @neat fulcrum
also see this message #dedicated-servers message

[neat fulcrum]

Understood. Thank you

[frosty gale]

can i make a dedicated server on crack?

[sudden sphinx]

I’ll double check but I was opening it.

[latent raven]

You might have a firewall too

[sudden sphinx]

Yeah that’s probably the issue. Should I disable it?

[latent raven]

Just open Port 7777 there, or allow all traffic for the dedicated server. Disabling it completely might be a security risk. It depends on your firewall, how you need to configure it exactly.

[noble sluice]

no

[noble sluice]

It depends on the server settings.

[sudden sphinx]

im so lost

is it only open for local tho?

[noble sluice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NIYZHxYcas&t=240s

[sudden sphinx]

yeah bro i did those

from this exact vid

[noble sluice]

And then you need to portforward from you router to your internal server... If you want external connections from friends...

And check if you ISP isn't using CGNAT.

[sudden sphinx]

yeah thats probably the issue i have not done that

[noble sluice]

what's your public IP? First 2 numbers only needed???

[sudden sphinx]

192.168

[noble sluice]

that is your internal IP. Your public IP???

[sudden sphinx]

public

[noble sluice]

Yes public IP?

[sudden sphinx]

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . :

[noble sluice]

Please... Learn some basic skills...

[sudden sphinx]

sorry im lost

[rain pine]

you add that to command you have now

[sudden sphinx]

where do i get my pub ip

[noble sluice]

Try google that question...

[plush granite]

Search ipfingerprints

[sudden sphinx]

80.89

i tought its incorrect since it was diffrent

wait so should my friend use pub ip to join and then 7777 ?

or i still need to do something

[plush granite]

Yes

[noble sluice]

Then it's not CGNAT.
All you know have to do is portforward in your router to your server.

Then your friends can connect to IP:7777
IP = Public IP.

[noble valve]

@sudden sphinx will you have the server always running or only when you are playing? if the latter consider taking the easy route and just using the join feature build in the game

[sudden sphinx]

im trying dedicated server only because we got disconnected from steam on ''lost connection to host''

is this it

should the port be 77?

[noble valve]

truly, it is your pick and it depends on which ports you are using and such

[sudden sphinx]

i mean i did 7777 as my port in inbound rules

so should i do 77 or something else

im so lost i just want to play whit a friend lol

[latent raven]

Could you show the Routes section please?

[sudden sphinx]

is this the one u meant?

[latent raven]

Nevermind. I think the Firewall tab was correct already.

[noble valve]

maybe something to understand internet better

lets say your router is a flat, the flat it self has an adress (the www)

inside the flat there are many adresses (your devices on your network, phone, pc etc)

you need to tell the person at the door of the flat(your router) to forward your mail correctly to your adress we call that portforwarding

[supple ember]

So something like this? ./Engine/Binaries/Linux/*-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame -Port={{SERVER_PORT}}ini: Engine: [HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindA_ ddress=any I'm sorry but I have absolutely no knowledge of this

[noble valve]

so you have opened on your pc your server your internal ipv4 of your pc and most likely port 7777

if you have port 7777 available on your router it is the easiest for your friends to join, so enter to port and dst port both 7777

switch the tcp button to tcp and udp if possible, else you need to make 2 rules

[latent raven]

This is what chatgpt told me:

Navigate to Firewall:

Go to IP > Firewall.

Add a NAT Rule:

Click on the NAT tab.
Click the Add New button (+).

Configure the NAT Rule:

Chain: Select dstnat.
Dst. Address: Enter your router’s public IP address.
Protocol: Select the protocol (e.g., tcp or udp).
Dst. Port: Enter the port number you want to forward.

Action Tab:

Action: Select dst-nat.
To Addresses: Enter the internal IP address of the device you want to forward the port to.
To Ports: Enter the internal port number (usually the same as the destination port).

Apply and Save:

Click Apply and then OK to save the rule.

---

You need 7777 for dst. port and later internal port.
Also you need this for both TCP and UDP protocols.
Internal IP you found earlier with 192.168...

Once you are done, you google "what is my ip", and tell this external ip to your friends. It might change daily.

Can anyone help? I got the server started up but i quit the game and now when I come back in it says the server is offline. Do i have to add the server again?

[noble valve]

or you look up the router specs @latent raven help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/RKB/Port+forwarding

[rain pine]

./Engine/Binaries/Linux/*-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame -ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any -Port={{SERVER_PORT} . This fixed the API error for me

[noble valve]

nevermind holy *

[sudden sphinx]

where bro

[noble sluice]

go to
portforward
.
com

[latent raven]

FIrewall

[chrome pumice]

Known issue. Just restart the server and you should be good.

[slim blade]

anyone have this issue where i have 2 friend, 1 can join but the other guy the server show as server offline anyone have any idea?

[remote basalt]

when you say restart the server do you mean add server again?

[chrome pumice]

Are both of the external?

[slim blade]

yes one guy is able to join but the other guy cant so its weird

[noble valve]

@sudden sphinx you got a mikrotik router, right? check the docs help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/RKB/Port+forwarding

[slim blade]

they are both using the same address

[chrome pumice]

No the server stopped listening on the port and needs to be fully restarted.

[chrome pumice]

Maybe they have something blocking on their end. Like anti-virus or windows defender.

[noble valve]

depends on their router, for example if i put my ubiquiti router on the highest security firewall level i can not join many game servers

[slim blade]

so they need to allow the 7777 port on their router/firewall/whatever

[noble sluice]

portforward.com/mikrotik/

[chrome pumice]

Probably just on Windows.

[noble valve]

no, it is a firewall thing, they do not need to portforward most likely using commercial hardware

[slim blade]

oh so they need to not block 7777

[chrome pumice]

Yes

[sudden sphinx]

[noble valve]

i would not recommend this in your case, it is a game server, you do not want to give your friends acces to your network, also you can do it for free using wireguard or a different software...

[noble sluice]

Don't get cought up in their ads...

[sudden sphinx]

I’m so lost

This can’t be that hard

[noble sluice]

What is your router name? Brand is MikroTik...

[supple ember]

It works! Thank you very much for your help

[latent raven]

Its RouterOs 7.0

[noble valve]

why not give this another try? and maybe figure out why this happens, if your internet drops your dedicated server wont solve anything

[broken parcel]

hi guys, am i the only one that's experiencing high ping and tickrate on the dedicated server?

[noble valve]

high tickrate is good, high ping is bad

[broken parcel]

server's network has always been stable, update 8 server didn't have this issue

[broken parcel]

sorry i meant low tickrate

[broken parcel]

🥹

[noble valve]

picture of the stickers on the back if someone asks for a model, but we are more curious about your routeros version which is most likely 7

[noble valve]

tick rate is your cpu speed most likely, so check your resources and see if a single core is maxing out

[broken parcel]

nop

[noble valve]

try rebooting your server, with my dedicated server i reboot it every 6 hours because there are still some bugs

[noble valve]

and if you check/core?

like this for example (i am not on windows)

[broken parcel]

still goes

let me install cpu z rq

[noble valve]

no need

right click on the summary and switch to /core

[broken parcel]

oh

[noble valve]

similar to this

[noble sluice]

help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/RKB/Port+forwarding

[noble valve]

and if you do this?

[broken parcel]

that's this

[noble valve]

so you get a view like this

you got a single core vps?

[broken parcel]

4 cores

[sudden sphinx]

I’m looking at it. Should I dot it exactly the same way or ports should be called diffrent

[broken parcel]

ik nothing crazy

[noble valve]

then i should see 4 squares instead of 1 ;)

[broken parcel]

but honestly on update 8 and a fairly massive save i was doing 30 ticks constantly

[noble valve]

you are now checking the average but i want/core

[broken parcel]

yeah that's 4 ahhaah

i'll send it again here @noble valve

[noble valve]

oops, my bad
