[broken parcel]

that's fine haah

[noble sluice]

forward TCP and UDP 7777 to your server IP...
That means 2 rules need to be made.

[sudden sphinx]

.

[noble valve]

well, you did the restart

how are your other resources? ram, disk latency/iops/usage ?

[broken parcel]

all fine

again i don't really think it's the actual server, i think it's the satisfactory server

i ran it on update 8 before 1.0 litterally the same day and played on it for a bit, and it was going flawlessly like usual

[noble valve]

i dont have any tickrate issues, i only have a relative high ping, my ping is 17ms which is for other game servers below 2ms

[broken parcel]

what did u put for network quality?

[noble valve]

let me boot the game

medium

[broken parcel]

mhhh

what does that setting actually do btw?

[noble sluice]

Limiting network speed..

[noble valve]

how much data it sends in 1 message i believe

but i do not see any real difference in changes, i got internal 100gbit connection and 2gbit external

[broken parcel]

so if i put it on low instead of high what are the pros and cons

sorry i'm not too good at this stuff

[noble valve]

i am not the guy who created the net code, but this is their explanation

from what i understand it sends bigger packets at once i would stay around medium/high if you got good networking and your cpu can keep up

[broken parcel]

i'll try and leave it on medium and see

[broken parcel]

thanks for the help

[broken parcel]

u need udp aswell

from what i gathered from the preview video of coffeestain

[noble valve]

yup

click this tcp thingy and try to make it udp & tcp

[noble valve]

then you need to create 2 rules, one using udp and another tcp

but you still need to add to adress and to port fields

[sudden sphinx]

the action section is complelty diffrent

from example

[sudden sphinx]

and this is mine

[noble valve]

what does this drop down menu give you?

[mint zinc]

I'm aware I probably have to wait until the Mod Manager updates, but are there any working discord bots that link the game server chat to discord?

[sudden sphinx]

help pls

[latent raven]

Passthrough sounds like a good candidate. Does it change, when you select that?

[still canyon]

There is no chat endpoints in the official API to my knowledge

[mint zinc]

Ahh dang, I was worried about that. Only bots I was able to find were ones that showed server population.
Thanks for the info!

What a shame though, I don't know why something like discord integration isn't bundled/added to the server side stuff.

[still canyon]

its not that hard to connect discord bot to the server API, but we dont have chat functionality)

Now i'm interested if mods could enchance HTTPS API with new endpoints... 🤔

[latent raven]

Okay, could you also show me what it shows on top, if you expand the Src. Address Node?

[sudden sphinx]

Chain expands to

forward

input
output

[latent raven]

What happens if you try forward?

[latent raven]

And regarding the action, what does it show, when selecting accept?

[latent raven]

And thats all for the action tab for both options? I can see you can scroll, but it might be just the other sections.

[sudden sphinx]

yeah

thats it

its Statistics tab

idk

[latent raven]

Sorry, me neither. I wish I could help.

Does anything change once you apply it?

[sudden sphinx]

no worries bro u helped

[pearl pier]

Hey guys! i am having issues with blueprints on my dedicated server. Seems to be kicking everyone whenever someone tries to save it. im hosting it on g-portal. any suggestions?

[robust plinth]

Hi Everyone, could you please help me with the following?

I've tried to setup my dedicated server, it is only, i can see it running but for my friends it shows offline.
Port 7777 15000 15777 are open and everything is good.
I've used Steamcmd.

Any idea?

[worthy saddle]

Port 7777 is good enough, but you have to make sure to open it for tcp and udp both

[keen tide]

Good afternoon, I have a dedicated server on 8x CPU 32 GBs RAM
I've started using Blueprints heavily in the last two days, somehow today I'm starting to get Timeout (and the server crashes).
I have no mods and no modifications made, it's a simple vanilla setup.
You can see attached it has enough resources for sure but it still crashes, any idea what might have went wrong ?
Before I started using Blueprints I had 0 timeouts/crashes.
I can only see the following errors:

Sep 22 14:22:18 satisfactory-server FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping[38963]: LogOnlineSchema: Error: Invalid schema category lobby: Service descriptor id lobby not found.

PS: The game/server crashes when I press Clear Blueprint Designer and sometimes when I use specific blueprints.

I would assume it's because of that belt maybe ? Is it possible that one of the blueprints bugged and it's doing this ?

Thank you!

PS: I have removed all the blueprints that I've created recently from the server, restarted the server and re-created some of the blueprints again. Now it looks stable, somehow it might have bugged before ?
PS2: Now even if the bugged blueprint doesn't exist, when I clean the blueprint creator (from a total different blueprint) the bugged one pops up, wtf ?

[vestal jacinth]

Is there a way to turn on advanced game settings on a server that is already running?

Or is there a way to be able to give players on the server the ability to fly?

[latent raven]

I think you can turn it on, when loading a game?

[broken parcel]

@noble valve tried everything but still lagging out...

[vestal jacinth]

With advanced game settings you can't like spawn items or anything right?

[noble valve]

also compared to a clean save? maybe something is lagging it out in the game

[broken parcel]

this is pretty much a clean save ahahha

[vestal jacinth]

Thank you not a fan of that guess I just gotta walk around everywhere just wanted fly lol

[broken parcel]

i mean you have the choise to not give yourself stuff

[noble valve]

hypertubes, jetpack, cars

[broken parcel]

like just don't press the button

[broken parcel]

or that

that's everything on the save

[sudden sphinx]

How to fix your connection to the host has been lost

[noble valve]

figure out where the connection got dropped...

[vestal jacinth]

I don't think I have enough self control lmfao

[noble valve]

how did you get such a map? radar?

but sorry i have not really anymore ideas besides somehow your save got bugged by something like a migration issue, a car glitching out the physics or something

[vestal jacinth]

Get drunk 1 night and have everything

[broken parcel]

satisfactory map

[sudden sphinx]

how can i go about

[broken parcel]

there's no cars or things with ragdoll, only belts and machines

again i got no clue wat's happenin

[broken parcel]

can u send a screenshot?

[keen tide]

In case it helps anyone having the same issue. ( Client Timeout / Server Crash )
I had to:

• Stop server
• Remove blueprint file
• Download save, upload into Satisfactory Calculator, remove all occurrences of the broken Blueprint (I know which one, because anytime I would try to clean it up/delete the server would crash)
• Add save back
• Start server

[topaz scarab]

yeah blueprints are kinda broken

[topaz scarab]

they mean scim

[keen tide]

I made a blueprint myself from scratch, really basic just 8 Smelters.
I think somehow one of the belts broke, how or why I really don't know, no mods and nothing special.

[noble valve]

thank you for the clarification

[keen tide]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/

[keen tide]

I might have some bad news for you if you're running a dedicated server.
I was running mine with 4x CPU and 16 GBs of RAM, it was LAGGY as fuck. ( I mean, 2 seconds to pull your sword )
After bumping to 8x CPU and 32 GBs of RAM, everything is instant & smooth
This happened right at the start, without any building or any complex setup, literally just 2 miners on the map.
Vanilla, no mods, no modifications, nothing extra.

[topaz scarab]

single threaded game go not-brrrr

[worthy saddle]

Not sure if multicore is really that important. The wiki states that single core performance is also quite crucial

[keen tide]

Agree but servers in general go for multi-core rather than single-core-big-ghz

[topaz scarab]

(but this is a) gaming server

[tight pond]

does anyone know why it tells me "Not Authenticated"/"Failed to Connect to Server API" and how I can fix it?

[worthy saddle]

Did it work before?

[keen tide]

:))

[topaz scarab]

did you go through the checklist of stuff to verify

[sleek nimbus]

Got it when I forgot to forward 7777 on tcp AND udp on my routeur

[worthy saddle]

should be 7777

[tight pond]

where can I find the list?

[topaz scarab]

see my name

also linked in top pin, nice
also channel topic

fandom is the old wiki

[worthy saddle]

fandom is bad

[frosty gale]

Don't use fandom

[worthy saddle]

use wiki.gg

[topaz scarab]

also yeah fandom bad

[frosty gale]

They're shitty

[keen tide]

oh I haven''t played in years sry 😄

[worthy saddle]

np

[keen tide]

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

[worthy saddle]

there you go :D

[fluid prawn]

Still no ban and other admin management features for servers? Public dedicated servers are still obsolete since their release in 2021. There's no point to host one for large communities, yet (for 3 years straight)

[topaz scarab]

what's the largest amount of ram you guys have seen the dedi server proc use

[topaz scarab]

lmao nope

[sudden sphinx]

help

[topaz scarab]

post log

[sudden sphinx]

how

[worthy saddle]

what problem do you even have?

[sudden sphinx]

guys please help me bro i want play i love satisfactory

[worthy saddle]

and what is your problem?

[wary bane]

with the new server API that might change

[iron scarab]

that narrows it down.

[worthy saddle]

No word about banning in the API documentation yet

[wary bane]

that is not how you should see it 🙂

[topaz scarab]

don't get your hopes up

[worthy saddle]

do you mean down?

[wary bane]

modding now allows in theory only server-side mods, and even if not, the server API allows communication between the client and the server

if the server sees a certain userID he could be instantly kicked if he is in a blacklist similar to banning

for example

[noble sluice]

What kind of network do you have. Cabel or WiFi?

[topaz scarab]

why would it
client side mod + server side mod

[iron scarab]

if i change the tick rate on the server do i need to change it on the client configs also?

[topaz scarab]

unlikely

[short flower]

no, u dont

[wary bane]

?

[worthy saddle]

On what system is your server installed?

[topaz scarab]

modding now allows in theory only server-side mods

[short flower]

the tickrate is simply the amount of updates that happen per second

[wary bane]

yes, in theory, i havent tested yet, and wont rely on that, worst case u use both client + server

and that will allow for large public servers

[iron scarab]

do i need to change on the client computers also? or just the server?

[short flower]

server only

you dont even need to change it tbh, 30 is sufficient

[topaz scarab]

64 128 tick servers bro

[wary bane]

no, 64 iz gud

[topaz scarab]

cs2 tickless is just a meme

[short flower]

higher tick is cool and all but they use more computing power and more network bandwidth for minimal noticeable difference

[fluid prawn]

My main point is, this is a default feature for any dedicated server. Why would hosts need to use an API to implement a critical core feature of dedicated game servers?!

[wary bane]

plugins* or mods, for managing permissions

you can set server password to control who plays

but yeah i get your point

[iron scarab]

so, when getting the netowrk error saying UNetConnection::tick: connection timed out. constantly doesn't have to deal with the tick rate?

[short flower]

no

[wary bane]

it prolly has something to do with the fact that each player atm can have multiple player ids

lol

[iron scarab]

so, then how do i fix that error?

[short flower]

its due to you losing connection to the server, can be due to bad network, extremely high ping or server hard crashing

[wary bane]

Generally, the first byte of the ID indicates the type of Online Backend used (1 for >Epic Games Store, 6 for Steam, see values in UE's EOnlineServices type), and the following bytes are specific to the Online Backend, but generally represent the player account ID. For Steam, it would be a big-endian uint64 representing the player's SteamID64, and for Epic, it would be a HEX-encoded EOS ProductUserId string.
so given u connect ur epic account, to your steam install or vice-versa you may have 2 ids

[iron scarab]

k can understand getting that if i was super far away from the server. But i have a dedicated computer that i install the server on, and its right beside me.. in my own house. lol

[short flower]

it can be due to config issues then, make sure you connect to the local ip directly and that the server doesnt crash

with default configs, should run fine

[fluid prawn]

For a public community this is easily bypassed even if you had a whitelist and give the password to those that only ask. Someone that was banned would just create a Discord alt and ask for the new password, just hard to trace and I have no single clue why the devs didn't implement such a standard feature (again for 3 years straight 🤔)

[iron scarab]

thats just it.. i have default configs, i can jump into the server and not even 2 minutes later. i get that error. then just close the game. reconnect to the server. the server doesn't even crash. or shutdown. its stays up. i just get kicked

[short flower]

is the host pc on wifi or ethernet?

[iron scarab]

i tried both

[short flower]

not sure then, maybe someone else will know

[iron scarab]

thanks.. I appreciate your input

[topaz scarab]

run a ping? that can at least rule out the network if it's not that

can also hit it with dopeghoti's tool for checking the game server latency

[frosty gale]

my buddy keeps disconnecting and getting kicked out from the server

but no one else is

[topaz scarab]

sounds like a him problem

[still canyon]

Hey 👋
I'm working on web dashboard for dedicated servers and struggling with deploying my own server.
If someone is interested in using such dashboard and is willing to give the server for testing i'll really appreciate it ☺️

Now it can only show server stats, but i'm working on server settings and other things

[topaz scarab]

like api access?

[fossil nest]

Hey all, last night my server kept crashing and each time was throwing this critical error:

Thoughts?

[topaz scarab]

what's the stack? can't static site browser-only because cors afaik, i tried

[still canyon]

yeah, it needs api token. It can be empty server, im not interested in your data or machine)
I just want to test it not on the local server

[still canyon]

Im using Next js server actions to ignore SSL

[glacial sandal]

forward or unblock tcp access to the ports

[topaz scarab]

any chance you're using blueprints on that server

[fossil nest]

our own blureprints yes, not any we downloaded

and we were messing with blueprints when this was happening

[topaz scarab]

lol

[fossil nest]

as in: I have been designing them. Can you not use blueprints on servers?

[topaz scarab]

well you're not the first whose server has exploded from using blueprints

[fossil nest]

interesting. Now, would it just be while using them or could the fact I have blueprints and was out exploring and this happened still cause it?

that was an awful sentence re-reading it lol

[keen tide]

Check this out, I had a similar problem earlier

[fossil nest]

thanks love

but my pretty decoration blueprints 😦 that low barrier light people came up with is so pretty

[keen tide]

I would start from the last ones, it is what it is sadly

[abstract garnet]

what do you mean server exploding from using bps?

😮

as in it affects performance?

[topaz scarab]

hard crashing, see their screenshot of the log

[abstract garnet]

okkay

[sudden sphinx]

its steam server

[broken parcel]

i have a 4x 16gb, and was running an update 8 with about 10 mods and way too much stuff

constant 30tps and 30ms

this is why im saying it's quite wierd

i know 1.0 brought A LOT of content but i don't think its enough to fully demolish performance

[worthy saddle]

Ok and how do you start the server?

[sudden sphinx]

Continiue

[broken parcel]

i don't know if they asked u already, but does the console give u any errors?

[cloud bridge]

is anyone else having issues with version mismatches on the game and the server? I tried updating through SteamCMD but it still says it's a mismatch.

[worthy saddle]

Honestly, it seems to me that you are not very tech-savvy. I'd recommend you rent a server or invite others over steam to play with you.

[broken parcel]

from what i saw you can just re-install it and it'll work

just save your save file and upload it

[cloud bridge]

reinstall the factory server app?

[broken parcel]

like re-setup the server itself ahah

pretty much a fresh install and you just upload the save file

[iron scarab]

i am now getting this on my server console.. any ideas?

LogNet: UNetDriver::TickDispatch: Very long time between ticks

[cloud bridge]

gotcha, thanks

[broken parcel]

what's your tick rate on the server?

[iron scarab]

They are default

[broken parcel]

be sure to download the save first yeah

[topaz scarab]

what's the cpu

[broken parcel]

press Server Manager>[your server]>status>avarage tick rate

it's probably low

[sudden sphinx]

where is console bro

[broken parcel]

where are u running the server? on your pc?

[sudden sphinx]

steam

yeah my pc

[iron scarab]

i don'

see that.

[broken parcel]

do you mean steamcmd?

[broken parcel]

is the server online?

[iron scarab]

i see it.. avergae tick rate is 30

[sudden sphinx]

no i was trying steamcmd all day but i stop trying because it was too hard to forward my ports

from router

now i just click play whit friends and steam

[broken parcel]

oh

[broken parcel]

ohhhhhhhhh

people here thought you was hosting an actual server

[iron scarab]

i am hosting a server lol..

[broken parcel]

that's wierd, is the server running correctly?

[broken parcel]

i was talking to the other guy

[sudden sphinx]

i iwsh i could

[iron scarab]

the server runs fine.. then it boots up. but watching the server console, it tells me LogNet: UNetDriver::TickDispatch: Very long time between ticks.. and it just keeps spamming that over and over. lol

[sudden sphinx]

or would same error be there

[broken parcel]

it's yellow isn't it?

[broken parcel]

i don't think it would

[vestal tartan]

I'm running a server in a container in proxmox, cpu is i5-8500t, which boosts to 3.5 ghz. I had 4 people playing last night and we all had 300 ms ping, unless we were close to each other in game. Is there anything I can do to mitigate high ping?

[broken parcel]

but hosting on your pc might be heavy if you don't have a really strong one

[broken parcel]

ping is mostly connection related remember, cpu affects it aswell

[sudden sphinx]

my pc is pretty good but not the best internet

[broken parcel]

heh

you might want to give it a try just to see if it works fine

@vestal tartan have you tried lowering the network quality on the server?

[vestal tartan]

I have 300 mb down and about 35 mb up, a single core is hitting 100% usage for that lxc in proxmox. It's wild that 3.5 ghz isn't enough for 4 people

[topaz scarab]

lol miniest of mini pcs

[sudden sphinx]

it was really confusing to forwarmd port from my router settings

[vestal tartan]

Not yet but I will

[sturdy gust]

Clock rate is far from the most important factor here

[broken parcel]

300/35 ain't that much server wise i'll be honest with you

[topaz scarab]

what's the cpu? just wondering

[broken parcel]

what i wanted to say next

[iron scarab]

i9 12gen

[broken parcel]

oh just open your ports from the router options and then from windows firewall

[topaz scarab]

that's a pretty wide range of cpus still

[knotty vortex]

Does Satisfactory benefit more from higher core count or something more like an X3D chip?

[sturdy gust]

Single core performance is the most important thing for a CPU for Satisfactory

[broken parcel]

single core high clock rate from what i gathered

[topaz scarab]

x3d prob might help, it's still unreal

[sturdy gust]

Cores means nothing for it

[iron scarab]

12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900K, 3200 Mhz, 16 Core(s), 24 Logical Processor(s)

[sturdy gust]

i9-12900k is sufficient

[vestal tartan]

What clock rate would y'all recommend?

[sturdy gust]

Bruh

[topaz scarab]

1hz

[knotty vortex]

Noice. Im using a 5700x3D

[broken parcel]

that's quite sad tho honestly, most providers don't have single core performing cpus with high rams aswell

and a price that won't send you in the streets

[sturdy gust]

That's game servers for you

People have sent multiple messages here before specifically explaining why it is the way it is 🙂

[broken parcel]

oh i'll look into it, it's quite intresting

[sturdy gust]

Providers of game servers should absolutely be providing CPUs with strong single cores 😄

[broken parcel]

i'm just using one of my work server 😛

[topaz scarab]

yeah a 12900k shouldn't have any problems... i blame the devs

[broken parcel]

hetzner got good servers but not single threaded oriented

[sturdy gust]

Totally depends on the server

Hetzner absolutely have viable servers for this 😄

[knotty vortex]

When I go AM5, I want me that 7950x3D

[lilac sigil]

hey just a question , im tryna host a server with session ip is it like how you name your server? in session settings?

[iron scarab]

just wondering.. are these servers till in "experimental?

[sturdy gust]

Nope

[broken parcel]

no

there are still a few bugs but support is quite good now

[sturdy gust]

An admin names the server through the in-game server manager

[broken parcel]

way less issues then before, expetially during setup

never been easier

[sturdy gust]

Couldn't agree more!

[round hollow]

I am running a dockerized server on unRAID and my backend is 10G fiber. I have a fiber connection directly to my PC from my local server. Why am I getting a local server ping of 15-16ms when I can ping my ISP at 1-2ms?

[sturdy gust]

That's how the game works

It literally doesn't matter

😄

[iron scarab]

setting up a server is easy.. its the issues that come with running it.. lol.. the crashing and errors.. hopefully they get on top of it. and fix alot of them.

[broken parcel]

@sturdy gust do you know how good CCX23 would be for sati servers?

idk anything about that cpu honestly

[broken parcel]

oh i had no crashed till now

[sturdy gust]

From a very quick Google, it has a single-core passmark of 1920

I wouldn't go with it, personally

Not for Satisfactory

[broken parcel]

mhhh

[iron scarab]

so, if 1 person stays on the server and plays.. it runs fine. but once there is 2 or more people.. it crashs.. lol.,..

[sturdy gust]

Poor CPU or low RAM allocation I presume

[broken parcel]

hetzner only options those for dedicated servers near me with good ping

🥹

[sturdy gust]

In the US I assume? 😦

[broken parcel]

europe

[sturdy gust]

Then I guess I misunderstood your message 😄

[sturdy gust]

Assuming you don't have a need for an AX42 or anything

As that'd probably be fine

[broken parcel]

@sturdy gust how do i find the benchmark for all hetzner servers? i don't often use it

[sturdy gust]

Just Google 🙂

[vestal tartan]

The 8500t has a single core passmark of 2030 😢

[sturdy gust]

Yep, too low unfortunately

[crystal spade]

our dedi (docker) uses up to 10 cores and 16 gb spike till 1.0
it can get 12 cores and up to 24gb
work well

[topaz scarab]

geekbench has some benchmarks

[sturdy gust]

See previous messages in this channel around multi-core utilization

[topaz scarab]

what cpu

[crystal spade]

ryzen 9 7xxx

don't know the exact model actually

[topaz scarab]

yeah i'd hope something with a 4k+ single thread rating would be enough

[sudden sphinx]

mine actual roter settings differ from guides

[topaz scarab]

considering that's about as high as that score can get rn

[sturdy gust]

My home server has a 5900X which hosts Satisfactory. I know a 3600 can get laggy

[broken parcel]

uhh i can try and help if u want but can't guarantee much

[crystal spade]

i throw it just in, i know what it can use 🙂 run satis dedi's since they are available 😉
the 1.0 update was soo smooth 🙂

[sturdy gust]

I've run Satisfactory servers since before they were available 😉

[crystal spade]

full game client on server? ^^

[sturdy gust]

https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server/tree/5edcdb0d861dbe769aaafb1db2f2fe9102d47899

Yup

[vestal tartan]

What CPU are you using for your server @sturdy gust ?

[crystal spade]

i run yours. we run 2 multiplayers on our server

[sturdy gust]

As mentioned above, a 5900X

[vestal tartan]

Sorry, missed it

[sturdy gust]

All good!

From helping people, I've found that you generally want a CPU with at least a 3k single-core passmark

[vivid parrot]

hello! how can i update my dedicated server in command line?

[sturdy gust]

That's not to say that passmark is the be all and end all, but it's a fair indicator

[sturdy gust]

Check the pins 🙂

[topaz scarab]

cough

[crystal spade]

btw. @sturdy gust your docker run also on an overclocked RPI5 ... stable for my son in LAN 😉

[topaz scarab]

box64/fex?

[sturdy gust]

Lol you mad man 🤣

[crystal spade]

linux user ^^ for loooong time

[sturdy gust]

You need 7777/tcp and 7777/udp

[topaz scarab]

let em ask a question first

[crystal spade]

he did ^ a few lines up

[sudden sphinx]

@broken parcel

[topaz scarab]

ah
took a while for screenshots then

did you see the mikrotik port forwarding guide
neat, the original? guide is in polish

[safe idol]

Fellow software engineer here, I'm not sure where to report this, but there is an issue with multiplayer servers where deleting doesn't seem to work correctly on the client side. You have to exit the game and rejoin. Then you find that the object is actually deleted correctly. I managed to find the error:

[2024.09.22-17.02.47:578][650]LogNetPackageMap: Warning: UPackageMapClient::InternalLoadObject: Unable to resolve default guid from client: ObjectName: Build_Foundation_8x4_01_C_2147450601, ObjOuter: /Game/FactoryGame/Map/GameLevel01/Persistent_Level.Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel

[topaz scarab]

prob better posted as a bug report on their qa site

[safe idol]

thanks for the direction 😎

[vestal tartan]

Does passmark take into account single core boost?

[topaz scarab]

better chance of them seeing it there

[topaz scarab]

score's an average of submitted results, so check the score variation chart

[sturdy gust]

This is a known issue unfortunately

[topaz scarab]

only score 100% applicable to you is running the benchmark yourself

[vestal tartan]

I mean, it's an 8500t after all ha

[rapid shadow]

Hi guys ! I have this exact issue atm : https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/18klzef/issues_with_dedicated_server/
The only thing is that I'm hosting my own dedicated server and we have been playing for couple weeks now and suddenly the server crashed and now the only thing we get is "This server appears to be offline" I restarted the server multiple times and got no specific errors in the log, nothing changed network-wise and we of course use no mods

[topaz scarab]

are blueprints involved

[rapid shadow]

no

[topaz scarab]

double check the network bits

[rapid shadow]

IP address didn't change, ports are still open everywhere, the home router is working fine, what else should I check ?

[sturdy gust]

Could you tell us a little more about your environment? How are you hosting the server? What is your OS? What does your launch command look like? The error you're seeing specifically indicates that port 7777/udp is unreachable

Additionally, could you share your full log file, please?

[rapid shadow]

I'm on windows 11, I'm hosting the server with the Satisfactory dedicated server from steam, witch I execute directly from file since I run the game's client from steam. Ports are open in firewall and router, everything has been working for a little while, the server crashed, I closed the window, reopened it and now we can't connect to it

[sturdy gust]

To be clear, you're hosting the server from the Windows 11 machine, right? Could you also clarify what file you're executing?

[topaz scarab]

server log looks fine

[rapid shadow]

Yes indeed, I'm executing "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryServer.exe"

[sturdy gust]

Thanks, really nice to have someone that actually provides everything haha.

Yeah, so your log does certainly look fine. Are you trying to connect using your local or remote IP? As within your own network, you should be using the local IP

[rapid shadow]

Thank you for helping me,

I'm using both, one on local ip for admin access, and one on external ip as client for client access, the issue with playing as administrator is that when I leave the server it closes the server.

Both "sessions" are showing "This server appears to be offline"

Same for my friends witch are using external ip obviously

[sturdy gust]

Gotcha, yeah I just wanted to verify that local wasn't working either.

Presumably you're connecting using IPv4 addresses, right?

[rapid shadow]

yes

[sturdy gust]

Stop the server, ensure there are no currently running instances in task manager. Backup your server saves (I don't know the location for Windows off the top of my head, but check the wiki in the channel pins).

Go to that directory, and delete your server session .sav file (should be ServerSettings.7777.sav)

Also, assuming you're using ports 7777/udp and 7777/tcp, correct?

Just making sure you're not trying to use old ports somehow

[rapid shadow]

Already backed up !

[sturdy gust]

Great! So delete the server settings save, not the game saves. Should be ServerSettings.7777.sav 🙂

[rapid shadow]

Yes I'm using those ports

Deleted

[sturdy gust]

Try spinning the server back up, see what happens

[mellow gust]

Is it expected that gameplay settings such as creature hostility are not syncing to clients?

[sturdy gust]

Yes, that's by design

[noble sluice]

high ping souldn't affect the gameplay. This isn't actionpacked FPS..

[topaz scarab]

still fucks with desync

you'll feel it

[sturdy gust]

Yeah, 300ms is higher than I'd like

[rapid shadow]

Still nothing...

[marsh grail]

Having similar issues with a rented server by Host unlimeted. They claim it's an issue with satisfactory itself

[sturdy gust]

Triple check that the service is allowed through Windows Firewall. I know you've done it before, but just triple check. I'd also reboot to ensure there isn't something funky/Windows related going on

[sturdy gust]

For what it's worth, after helping hundreds of people, this is not a known issue. It's almost definitely environment-related

[deep marsh]

my friend runs a dedicated server and i usually get around 70-80ms ping even with 7-8 people online and in late game, but last night and tonight the ping has gone to 300+, is there something going on with DS or clients?

[rapid shadow]

Already rebooted, Will triple check now

[deep marsh]

or is it just me

[sturdy gust]

That'll be related to the server's environment most likely. Check CPU performance, and RAM allocation

[deep marsh]

most likely none of those, it's on a 32 core epyc

[sturdy gust]

That means nothing

[deep marsh]

what does then

[rapid shadow]

All inbound and outbound looks fine, I only created the ones with the specific 7777 ports

[sturdy gust]

What CPU is hosting the server? What else is running on the server? How much RAM have you allocated to the game server? How much RAM does the system have total? Etc. etc.

[sturdy gust]

If it was fine, and is possibly now fine, it was most likely that resource utilization spiked

[cosmic arch]

any clue on how to get that up again?

[deep marsh]

aight let me ask

[sturdy gust]

System resource utilization, check it

[sturdy gust]

Honestly it's been a while since I've hosted a server on Windows, so I don't know the equivalent of using lsof to check if it's actually listening on those ports

Log says one thing, Windows says another etc.

Just trying to brainstorm

[rapid shadow]

I'm pretty sure it isn't anymore

[cosmic arch]

uhh under Linux?

😖

[sturdy gust]

The fact that you're not seeing connection messages in your log is enough of a detail for me

[rapid shadow]

Uninstall and reinstall the dedicated server from steam ?

Corrupted save file ?

[sturdy gust]

It's certainly an option! I don't think it'll solve your problem honestly. Save is out of the question as you deleted the server session, which drops the save from the config

[rapid shadow]

Didn't work without save file tho...

[cosmic arch]

Looks good enough to me.

[sturdy gust]

Yeah, looks fine

Drop the query port and beacon port params

Unrelated, but they shouldn't be there

What CPU is your server using @cosmic arch?

[topaz scarab]

it's fine until it hits 100+ on one of those threads

also nice legacy params

[rapid shadow]

Reinstalling now

[sturdy gust]

If that doesn't make a difference (make sure to delete and re-add the server in the server manager, navigate to another page in-game and back for the results to refresh), try running this via an admin cmd:

netstat -an | findstr :7777

[quick mist]

findstr is a new one to me. Doubt I'll ever use it because it's longer than grep (:

[rapid shadow]

Reinstalling fixed it 😁

Old save is working, just had to setup the server again

[sturdy gust]

Lol, thank ChatGPT for that 😄

I forget what is and isn't available on Windows 🙂

[tulip glacier]

any way to profile whats using up most server performance or which grid?

[topaz scarab]

lol

we wish

[frosty gale]

there are some debug overlays

you could try one of them

[topaz scarab]

check logspam

[topaz scarab]

SUBSCRIBE

[tulip glacier]

any links by chance?

or you just mean ToggleDebugOverlay?

[frosty gale]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Console#Functional_commands

notably the ShowDebug command and its arguments

[tulip glacier]

ty

all client side tho

[frosty gale]

probably

[topaz scarab]

might run on the server?

oh right ui

ui?

[frosty gale]

yes

they just overlap debug text onto your game

[cosmic arch]

uhhh Intel Xeon something

have to check that out

[topaz scarab]

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model

[safe idol]

good to know. thanks!

[noble sluice]

lscpu

[topaz scarab]

oh yeah

[still canyon]

Can some please explain what to do, im clueless rn.
I'm trying to run server on Win 11, got Firewall set up, port forwarding with static ip set up in router settings, but Nmap says that my ports are closed, even when server is running.
Server is working if i'm trying to connect from the same machine.
I'm using wolveix Docker image to run btw, but with EG official dedicated server i have the same issue

[tame belfry]

my server is on 366202 version how i can update the server ?
the comand ./steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir ~/satisfactory +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit dont work

app_update 1690800 dont work

[topaz scarab]

is that dir where you installed it

[tame belfry]

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir ~/home/satisfactory/server +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

[tame belfry]

my server is on "/home/satisfactory/server"

[topaz scarab]

and satisfactory is the user you're running this under

[topaz scarab]

that's a wholly different path there

[tame belfry]

thanks

found the problem

[topaz scarab]

wrong path? @tame belfry

[silver vapor]

Hi! anyone else with this problem when lunching the game it comes to this and thats it?

[topaz scarab]

that's normal

[silver vapor]

well but the game wont luch after this

[spice bay]

Is there a way to set the server to run at higher speed? mining and production speed etc. or everything faster at the same time

[noble sluice]

The gamespeed isn't limited on CPU speed....

[stone walrus]

All of a sudden my dedicated server has started crashing on any save.

[spice bay]

meaning...

Like there's cheats(trainer) that can increase the speed of everything up to 10x, wondering if it could be applied to the server.

[scenic echo]

has anyone had issues with random ping spikes that cause lag for players on the server?

increased network quality from medium to high and it didnt help

[noble sluice]

That really don't belong in this tread.

[spice bay]

it's a question about dedicated servers.

a private server, it's not a cheat that could unfairly affect other players like in other games like call of duty etc

[noble sluice]

I read it as a question about cheating/trainers...

You can activate this, when launching a new game.
But then again where is the fun in that...

[spice bay]

yeah, no that's not it, but holding the craft button for hours ain't fun either.

[stuck coyote]

You're not supposed to hold the craft button for hours. You're supposed to automate everything so you don't have to craft anything by hand

[spice bay]

but still have to craft a lot by hand to get there

[noble sluice]

Press space once and crafting continues until you run out of materials.

[smoky flare]

[hidden sky]

Hi gamers, i made a server and accidently included a space at the end of my file name so blueprints wont work. How do i change the name of the save file for a server?

[south oracle]

for some reason, when i leave my server, it shuts down the server. is there any way around that?

[snow dawn]

Hey, one question. What exactly are dedicated servers? how do they work and what is the diference between that and a session with friends?

[still canyon]

Game instance that usually runs on remote machine and available to everyone who have access at any time (if it is running ofc)

In simple words - your friends doesn't need to wait for you (host) to play

[stone walrus]

With a dedicated server you can leave the game running so the host doesn't have to be logged in and invite friends to play.

[timid flame]

Yes we were running into that issue. It didn't seem to be connected to autosave timing or anything, server hoster used it as an excuse to upgrade his rig and we're smooth sailing now.

[timid flame]

dedicated servers have a setting in the server settings tab called auto pause. Uncheck it and you shouldn't have that issue.

[south oracle]

ty

[stone walrus]

I started getting EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000 out of nowhere and can't load my dedicated server now.

[toxic nebula]

how do i change the direction of a conveyer lift floor hole? i want it to go downwards

[iron bear]

Our server has becoming nearly unplayable. The visual glitches are out of control. The material bug isn't the end of the world, but it's annoying to have to relog just to see the right materials on things. Decal rotations don't place the way they're visualized anymore, which is annoying but not awful. The big issue now is that trees will randomly exist when you log in even though they have been removed. They stop being able to be removed after a few minutes as well. So it's just this constant logging-off and logging back on when you need to do tree work. Vehicles also "See" the trees when this happens, so all transportation is screwed.

I love this game, but man am I disappointed in how not fully baked this is after being in Early Access for as long as it has been.

[toxic nebula]

nevermind figured it out

[plush granite]

I want to limit all the unnecessary console spam. How can I do that?

[still canyon]

what do you need console for then?)

[faint pebble]

why you even need a server

[plush granite]

So many uessless warnings every couple of seconds

[faint pebble]

just join trough steam

[fading forum]

Same here, not sure we are gonna be able to finish the game 🥲

[quasi kettle]

Dedicated servers have always been a completely unloved afterthought.

I’m basically just sitting and waiting to see if they unbreak the blueprints as it’s not worth even trying without them

[iron bear]

For the reasons that dedicated servers exist.

I haven't played since dedicated servers were announced and I swear they are less stable now then they were then. 😆

[still canyon]

everything is less stable now_)) especially when its not the main game

[acoustic pike]

so this is a bit of an interesting question. Was playing, then had an Unreal Engine crash. I didn't really read the crash report bc it happened right as I killed a spitter creature. Anyway, closed the game and restarted and it seems the server brought me on as a new player, but still with my progress. Like, I had my dimensional depot available, but none of my personal inventory. Any guesses as to how to get it back?

[quasi kettle]

It’s to be expected. They only even bother to fix popular bugs. Their approach to stability is pure how many people it affects. ded servers are seen as a niche afterthought

[quasi kettle]

If you didn’t respawn first you’re sol

[acoustic pike]

couldn't respawn bc the game crashed

i didn't "die". as far as the game knows, i went offline

an odd one for sure lol

[frigid yew]

I'm getting a warning about FNetGUIDCache LightweightCollisionComponent NOT Supported, anyone know what's causing that? Makes the server lag when the error happens and just happens when someone moves around

Seems to be specifically when a player slides

[south oracle]

sorry for ping again but it happens when i leave my server even if my friends are still logged in. is autopause still the only fix for it?

[timid flame]

Is this a dedicated server or you clicking continue in the main menu

[hollow patrol]

I am successfully hosting a dedicated server off my machine, but when I disconnect from the game the server goes down. I have to restart the dedicated server for anyone to be able to rejoin.

Any ideas what causes this? I have the auto pause option disabled

[cloud idol]

I've been using host havoc with no issue or crashes

[thorny dew]

I've been running it on a VM with no issues so far too. 🤞

[thorny dew]

Known issue that happens when you're hosting the server on the same machine your client is on iirc

[hollow patrol]

ah damn

ty

[thorny dew]

Try using docker, might somehow fix it

A bit more advanced to set up but the wiki should cover it

[hollow patrol]

okok I will

[bleak flicker]

hey all, was wondering how do multiplayer servers work exactly? Can a bunch of players all play on their own and do their own thing or is it necessary for progression that everyone on the server work together?

[noble sluice]

You start a game which more players can join the same game. All participate in the same game.

[thorny dew]

Progression is shared

So you cant really do your own thing

Would be nice if you can form teams/groups for separate progression though

[noble sluice]

I installed my first Dedicated server 10 days ago. Had zero stops or crashes since then.
Running on a AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics dedicated Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with Portainer with container from @sturdy gust...
If there was something wrong with dedicated servers, then all servers should have the same problems.

[fleet pier]

dedicated server keeps resetting network quality to medium. anybody have this issue? work arounds?

[thorny dew]

Wiki has a section on configuration files that should show you how to do it

Could also try the ini flag

[latent raven]

Otherwise enable the auto pause until fixed.

[hollow patrol]

it was happening either way.

[latent raven]

Oh really? I thought only when it kept running without pause. Thanks for letting me know.

Did it work for you using docker?

[tired quiver]

guys... blueprints.. they don't work?
"[2024.09.23-03.12.44:108][542]LogFactoryBlueprint: Warning: Failed To Write 6 Smelters Blueprint to Disk!"

Do I have to set a target location in the server or something?

[south oracle]

dedicated server

running on my computer

[south oracle]

ah that was my issue as well

[vague heath]

Anyone know if there's any API Endpoints in vanilla that will allow me to pull data from things like the depot, container etc. E.G 192.168.1.1/api/depot

[topaz scarab]

see the official api doc

that's all we get

[vague heath]

Self-signed server SSL bs as usual

[topaz scarab]

bs? you got a better idea

[vague heath]

the wiki isn't the issue

The API doc makes it very clear what to do, it working on another hand is entirely a different story

The fact that the endpoints are not cohesive whatsoever is an issue

With it being 1.0 just put out though I get there's a lot of stuff that needs to be refined

[topaz scarab]

sure, but you're pointing at the self signed cert being bs?

[vague heath]

and servers are probably on the backbone

[topaz scarab]

that's how i'm reading it

[vague heath]

Do you not agree that though it's not a really a replaceable option, it's still BS and causes consistent auth issues?

Factual not complaining :3

[topaz scarab]

you're not making much sense

[vague heath]

Then you need to brush up on your english.

[sage pecan]

Same experience here, dedicated server has been running flawlessly. I've been using them since they released, so definitely experienced the early bugs, but it's really good now.

[topaz scarab]

skill issue

[stuck drum]

how stable are trucks? or should i just build a train line?

[vague heath]

So, no detail of endpoints on the wiki OR docs in files; what's your suggestion now

[hollow ruin]

How do i import a blueprint file to a dedicated server?

[topaz scarab]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/HTTPS_API
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Community_Tools_for_Server_Management

[vague heath]

So 192.168.1.1/api/??

[topaz scarab]

if you have the game installed, there's also a copy/more complete version of that doc in your game files

[vague heath]

Go on that wiki, and tell me which one it is.

I just told you I read through both, including the game files.

There's no mention of endpoints

by pure unwittled LUCK i decided to try ip/api/v1 and that WORKED as an endpoint, there is NO documentation of this anywhere

[topaz scarab]

it's rest?

[vague heath]

I'm aware of that

You can still get the data from an endpoint

which quite clearly exists, but isn't mentioned anywhere

[topaz scarab]

try https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Blueprint#Dedicated_Server

[vague heath]

Here's my example of using ip/api/v1

It gives the general gamestate data

Why isn't this endpoint listed anywhere 🤣

[hollow ruin]

name checks out

[topaz scarab]

fair, it could be more detailed

[vague heath]

This is what I was talking about, they've "introduced" an accessible API system and filled the wiki with the strings and data but no way to access them 🤣

I got lucky

So for future reference

192.168.1.1(IP)/api/v1 - This works to pull from, given you've also done server.GenerateAPIToken and put your bearer token in whatever script you're running also

It'd be super great if we got a list of other API's accessible though to see what other data can be pulled

[eager reef]

any reason the dedicated server would kick me, then when i go to rejoin there are now to of me? im the only person on the server

[vague heath]

https://tenor.com/view/paradise-trippies-trippies-gimme-the-loot-wooh-woo-gif-25579620

@eager reef Can you kill yourself and take the loot?

I would just restart though lowkey

[eager reef]

as in restart the server?

[vague heath]

Sometimes it bugs out and doesn't remove your player entity, kicks you but doesn't register that it has, so your "phantom" kinda remains there

[eager reef]

i can, was just curious what could cause it.

ahhh, ok

[vague heath]

There's also a million different reasons currently as to why it could happen but that's probably the most reasonable one 🤣

[eager reef]

L O L. I killed my old self, then went to revive it, cause...why not, then it slumped and slid down the blender, then spun up like a helicopter and flew off like a bayblade LOL

[distant linden]

Has anyone had success setting up a dedicated server with playit.gg?
I'm able to connect to the server but my friends get timed out while joining.

[tawdry siren]

I get high ping pretty often on a dedicated server. Anything I can do to fix this? Its rly anoying

[thorny atlas]

where would i find this file ServerSettings.PORT.sav, (e.g. ServerSettings.7777.sav)

[vague heath]

Are you hosting? Where is it located if not

If you're hosting try increasing this: #

[tawdry siren]

Its a Nitrado Server, hosted in Frankfurt (closes location to me)

[tawdry siren]

Should it be high or low?

[vague heath]

If it's a hosted dedi

Put ultra

If your FPS gets affected, knock it down to high/medium

[tawdry siren]

Anything else I can do?

Seems like the change did not effect the ping at all

[vague heath]

I mean apart from ask Nitrado for a possible bandwidth increase, or optimize your own performance; not really.

[tawdry siren]

How would my own performance increase my Ping?

(or lower)

[thorny dew]

What's your ping rn?

[tawdry siren]

Normal Ping is 25, but it goes up to 300-3000 into server Crash

[thorny dew]

Oh damn

Best to ask Nitrado and see what they say

That's what you're paying them for anyway

[tawdry siren]

Already did, but I kinda wanna play the game, so I thought maybe I am missing smt

They take some time to answere

[thorny dew]

Maybe something's up with cpu usage on the machine or network instability

[tawdry siren]

Cpu is perma 75%+

[kindred ore]

what the think u put in the .bat file for the new Console

[tawdry siren]

How do I restart the game on a hosted server to apply changes?

[kindred ore]

in the sver manger u can type exit or just close it and re open it

[tawdry siren]

Hm that just resets the change...

[kindred ore]

my settings save that way

[latent raven]

You can use your own certificate too. Either way worked for me.

[wanton pasture]

is there a fix or work-around for the reappearing tree/foliage bug? im asking here because it happening on a dedicated server and it might be related? 😉

also is there a work-around know for the option to keep the server running even if no players are connected? i have to re-enable it daily after the server restarts. For some reason the restart resets the option.

im running the server on a private machine on my local network. its installed as a service via nssm.

[broken parcel]

hi guys, i wan't to change my dedicated server to one that's more suitable to satisfactory

does anyone have an advice on european providers with good single core performing cpus?

[wanton pasture]

host your own. honestly its what i do. server hosts are using the same buggy dedicated server software as the rest of us.

[unkempt swift]

You can either host your own or i reccomend Indifferent Broccoli. Always worked for me

[visual mirage]

Any fix for 100% cpu usage on one core even when server is idle with no players? I7 14600k cpu on debian linux

[broken parcel]

i can't honestly, i need my pc for other stuff and i want the server to be on 24/7

[wanton pasture]

well then what Andreas said, Indifferent Broccoli are nice. I been with them before on other game servers. Good servers and nice customer service.

[surreal pilot]

Server jsut randomly stopped working. Can anyone help?

[broken parcel]

what's the error?

[surreal pilot]

Just does this now. Worked fine for a week. Turned it off then back on and it just hangs here forever.

[broken parcel]

and appears offline right?

[surreal pilot]

Yes

[broken parcel]

can you send log file?

[broken parcel]

damn 😂

have you checked if it's actually satisfactory taking those resources?

[visual mirage]

it is

that one core sits at 5300mhz even when nobody is playing

24/7

[broken parcel]

and if u shut down the server it goes back to normal?

[visual mirage]

yes

[broken parcel]

is the server working fine when you are in it?

and is the machine it's hosted still usable alright?

[visual mirage]

yes it runs fine, so does the satisfactory server

host

[broken parcel]

i meannnn "don't question how it works just let it work" would be sufficient for me in this case 😂

[visual mirage]

yeah well it's making my computer run hotter and use more watts for no apparent reason

am i the only one with this issue?

[broken parcel]

it is odd tbh with you, it looks like it's drawing all the resources in case it needs them instead of taking them when it needs them

[broken parcel]

doesn't happen to me

have you modified the engine.ini?

[visual mirage]

yes actually

[broken parcel]

what have you edited?

[broken parcel]

tbf you did increase all values 😂

[surreal pilot]

Where do I find it?

[broken parcel]

try it with standard values just for the sake of it and see if it fixes it

[broken parcel]

[Server Folder]>FactoryGame>Saved>Logs, and send the latest one

[tawdry siren]

How can I download a game save for a server?

[broken parcel]

you need to download a game save from the server or use a game save for a server?

[surreal pilot]

Restarting it like 2 more times magically fixed it. idk how that works

But thanks for offering to help :)

[proud dune]

Hey, im running into a Problem Joining my Server the client says Version mismatch, i tried updating it using this command steamcmd +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/ +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit in the console it looks like this command does something but i it changes nothing.... im starting my server with the FactoryServer.sh file... can someone help me please?

[regal marsh]

most of it will get overwritten by the network quality
look into scalability.ini (if its empty you can fill it, there is a post on this discord with the values)
#dedicated-servers message

[broken parcel]

backup the save file and re-install the server in another folder

easiest fix so far

[proud dune]

do i have to do this with every update that comes? i have 4 Servers running on my machine....

[broken parcel]

it was the only fix i found and i read around in this channel aswell

hopefully they make something to push an actual update

[regal marsh]

you have to update it with the same command you installed it
into that same folder

[proud dune]

as you can red in my first message i have already done this

[regal marsh]

if you used custom path you also have to update with the custom path included

then it should update the server, shouldnt have to put it into new folder every time

also make sure you have validate parameter

should probably try full path

or when installing just dont do any path and save yourself some trouble
it will be in steamcmd folder steamapps/common

usually when people have this issue
they got the update into a new folder
so it didnt update the server you are starting

[broken parcel]

for me it wasn't actually updating it even when i put the correct path and parameters

[cinder solar]

Anyone have like 30 seconds to help me check if my port forwarding is working

[broken parcel]

check it online

just plug in your ip and port u need to check

i sent it in your dms

[cinder solar]

do you mind sending me the link in DMS

[toxic anchor]

Anyone experienced problems with deleting or recoloring things like foundations on servers? I can't delete a foundation. However, if I reconnect to the server the foundation is gone.

[broken parcel]

i don't have issues with deleting, just when coloring really fast, sometimes things don't color and i can't color them anymore unless i remove them and put them in again

[toxic anchor]

I was a bit unspecific regarding coloring. I meant changing from normal Ficsit foundation to concrete.

[toxic anchor]

Does logging out and in again help for you?

[broken parcel]

no i just remove them and put them back

[broken parcel]

ohh

no i don't have issues with that tbh

[shell cedar]

Yes, its a known problem. Somekind of desync that visual and some sort of collision stays on client but is dismantled correctly on server side.

[toxic anchor]

I only have problems with some of the foundations.

[toxic anchor]

Okay, thanks.. hopefully it will be fixed 🙂

[shell cedar]

For me ith happens with ramps, more often if the ramp is "old" in game time, and try dismantle it

[toxic anchor]

Is "restarting the server" a thing in this game? I know some games struggle the longer the server is running

[shell cedar]

IDK, but by default it has restart every 24h ?

[toxic anchor]

Not sure. I am not admin

The server I am on is from Indifferent Broccoli

[dusty vortex]

the server has a built in restart every 24hrs, the time at which this is performed is set in the server manager with a slider called 'restart interval' ... which is not an interval but a 24hr clock, so the time of the day it should restart.... every day.

[vast pivot]

hi! am i the only one who's unable to both host a dedicated server via steamcmd and join that game on the same machine? or is this a known thing?

steamcmd should be hosting the server via the anonymous account right? so my satisfactory copy should be free to use

whoa my ip is in there

[abstract garnet]

😄 was it your public ip? I was thinking it might still be firewall

[vast pivot]

it shouldn't be firewall, no - i specifically went through the process of adding exceptions

other people can connect to my game just fine, including people in the same household (not my household)

[abstract garnet]

wish factoryserver would have --help switch :<

[vast pivot]

it's true

i've used my steam deck to host many a dedicated server before, so i was planning to do that to at least host the server on a separate device, but it looks like getting steamcmd onto the deck is impossible (or at least not easily done) so that plan's in the fryer

[abstract garnet]

btw.... are you using linux, since you said steamcmd (idk if that's for windows too...) Anyway, does netstat -tnlup show which address the factoryserver binds to? 0.0.0.0? Try connecting to 127.0.0.1

[vast pivot]

i'm running the steamcmd server on windows

looks like l and u flags don't exist for netstat on windows

[abstract garnet]

u is for udp, but doesn't matter. For me it binds to 0.0.0.0 which means all addresses. 127.0.0.1 is loopback interface

from your machine to your machine

[thorny dew]

Use LAN or loopback address

[vast pivot]

oh shit i forgot i set a password - how do i set that when joining on the client

[thorny dew]

Unless your router specifically supports NAT reflection properly, using your WAN/public IP will cause issues

There should be a management tab

[vast pivot]

for the record that did give me a different result than trying my machine ip:7777 and public ip:7777, but i swear i tried 127.0.0.1 before already

[cinder solar]

can have it pre-setup by using docker if you want

[vast pivot]

the heck that worked

thank you i guess it was just as simple as using 127.0.0.1

[cinder solar]

is there a convenient way to have a domain name I own to link to the server instead

[vast pivot]

I feel quite stupid

judging by how localhost isn't a valid ip input due to having alphas, i don't think so currently?

i had the same question when setting mine up

[cinder solar]

I own satisfactory.[country] would be a shame not to use it

[abstract garnet]

Make a CNAME record for the domain or a hostname to some dyndns address. I assume you don't have a static ip 🙂

[cinder solar]

going to give that a try

[vast pivot]

separate question, theres a known issue right now of the server being unaccessible once it goes from empty -> populated -> empty right?

[abstract garnet]

first get a dyndns name for yourself from one of number of services (some routers support this, so you don't have to run client on your computer)

and then you have to set the record from your nameservers, such as cloudflare (free dns hosting)

[cinder solar]

I have a static Ip so I dont think id need a dyndns

[abstract garnet]

then you don't

also you don't want cname, but a record

[cinder solar]

only options I have

[vast pivot]

A record

[abstract garnet]

choose A for

A is for ipv4, AAAA for ipv6 and cname to redirect to another name

[vast pivot]

point the A record with the host as your alpha domain, and the answer as your static ip

[cinder solar]

Super, I will try get that done, i assume it takes some time for it to reflect

[vast pivot]

I'm seeing reports for this on reddit so I assume it's still an active bug

[cinder solar]

24 hours 😭

[abstract garnet]

doesn't take that long

[cinder solar]

docker makes hosting so easy

[dusty vortex]

Some users appear to be impacted in a way that you describe, there is a sub thread here you may verify if you experience the same, there is no known fix - https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1283191576641798144

[vast pivot]

darn, okay

[cinder solar]

Is there any way to remove the certificate message?

[tepid oxide]

Any advice my friend is sat on the server Right now and i can connect to other servers for the game just fine

[west plinth]

can I increase the restart cadence? like to every 12hrs instead of 24?

[latent raven]

It looks like you clicked into the window and made it stop that way. Just focus the window again and press any key.

[surreal pilot]

I tried that. Didn't fix it. But it thankfully is working again now. :)

[cinder solar]

have you connected to it before?

[ruby jay]

Does anyone know the reason why I cannot find the dedicated server (hosted on the same machine as my client) using internet IP?

[dusty vortex]

a few details are missing, but if i were to guess...
your hosting the server at home/inside your network, maybe on a seperate machine, maybe the same.

your friends are using your public ip/dns to connect OK, you are also attempting to use your public IP/DNs to connect... but your router does not support NAT reflection/Hairpin/loopback...

try using your internal IP to connect.

[dusty vortex]

message above applies to you also.
the 'reason why' - your router does not support (or have enabled).. NAT reflection (also known as NAT-Hairpin or NAT-loopback)

[tawny shadow]

thats a router config problem, google > nat reflection

[tepid oxide]

NO its just set up

[dusty vortex]

its very common for ISP provided routers to not support NAT Reflection.

[tepid oxide]

its my brothers server he is using a server hosting program he has rented running linux so connecting is like connecting to a dedicated server not on my local network

[dusty vortex]

no, its hard coded to restart every 24hrs, the only thing you can adjust is the time of day that it performs this action (in server manager, with the label 'restart interval' - note its not an interval, its a 24hr clock)

[dusty vortex]

if its hosted outside your network by someone else, and its working for other users OK
then it must be an issue your end... double check your using the server manager to add the server, and double check the address is correct.
might be worth checking if the person hosting the server has setup whitelist firewall rules, maybe they need to add your IP to allow.

[latent raven]

Does it use the local machine time or UTC?

[dusty vortex]

at first it was thought it was UTC.. but others here have suggested that it matches their timezone... so long as the servers timezone is correctly setup to the timezone your in.

[gaunt flare]

dumb question that probably was asked 1000 times but do you need a GPU to host?

[thorny dew]

If they're hosting it themselves on a linux distribution, make sure the firewall is port 7777 allowed for both TCP and UDP

And make sure the satisfactory server is listening to port 7777

[onyx tiger]

I have created a server on my home Computer 1, I can use my internal IP to connect from my home Computer 2. I have added the port 7777 in the Windows Advanced FW on both Incoming & Outgoing ports and I have added port 7777, 15000, 15777 on port forwarding to Computer 1 on my Router app also. My friend who is trying to connect through my external IP only get's "The Server Appears to be offline" What can I try next?

Do you need UDP also?

[thorny dew]

Yes UDP is required

Satisfactory currently only uses port 7777

So you can remove the other port forwards

[tepid oxide]

they connect just fine not issues and its hosted by a company that hosts servers so they are also remote connecting to it with no issues

[thorny dew]

So the issue is just you connecting to their server?

[noble sluice]

No GPU needed. Running in a Docker container and GPU isn't connected.

[onyx tiger]

I added a 7777 rule to UDP also and it still shows the same

Any other good tips for this?

[gaunt flare]

oh cool thanks

[onyx tiger]

You should join through Server Manager and not through Join Game right?

[runic zinc]

Yes

[onyx tiger]

That's what I'm doing also. Do I need to restart stuff after I open ports? Should not be necessary right. What could be tried after I've tried all of the port openings on both TCP & UDP?

[narrow raft]

you can try going to https your external ip address :7777 in the web browser to see if your TCP port is forwarded correctly. you should see a certificate warning (unless you installed a certificate yourself) and if you continue you should see an unreal error message: errors.com.epicgames.httpserver.route_handler_not_found

... thank the stars the mod bot didn't nuke that again =_=

oh and you can ask your friend to try the same

[onyx tiger]

I haven't installed any certificate of any kind

[peak vessel]

Has anyone asked/answered about running dedicated through a nssm service, where on sleep/resume of the host Windows machine the server is reported as “running” from nssm cli but “offline” in the Satisfactory server management area (until issuing a nssm restart service command)?

[narrow raft]

you should still be able to access that endpoint

[onyx tiger]

Yeah, I thought so also. I hosted regularly for us now. Will try the other way later tonight when we have played for too many hours!

[sage ore]

Hello everyone,
I have a server hosted on my OVH infrastructure. It works very well but my server crashes when any player quits, I have to restart it and we can play again.
You've already seen this problem... help pls

[steel osprey]

never seen this problem. But sounds like too less ram or a weak cpu

[sage ore]

i have 32Gb ram and 8 cores of CPU...

[steel osprey]

kvm? or lxc?

how do you host the server?

[sage ore]

On W10, on a Proxmox

and I have no RAM or CPU overload at the time of the crash

[rocky raptor]

Quick quesiton: Linux + Steam, where are the server's saved files? I'm not finding them here ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryGame/Saved

[steel osprey]

https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/902621736602861588/1287761549397725247

[sage ore]

kvm sorry

[rocky raptor]

Looks like I can just download it separately and bypass the question entirely

[steel osprey]

never used Proxmox on Windows, but your issue is on your side. Works fine with linux

but i will never understand that you host proxmox on windows in a vm, and you craete vms in Proxmos

[sage ore]

no ! my satisfactory server is on a W10 virtualized by a Proxmox on my OVH server

[sage ore]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Save_files

[steel osprey]

lol? Use linux 😄

[sage ore]

thanks for the help @steel osprey .....

[steel osprey]

and use docker in a kvm

[abstract garnet]

😄

@sage ore My experience with the server is, it's quite stable. Maybe it's a bug related to windows version of it?

You could try running it using wsl, no?

or if that's available

[steel osprey]

why host a server in windows 😄 useless 😄

[abstract garnet]

because they want?

[steel osprey]

because useless?

and because have nothing to do with the satisfactory server?

so offtopic here?

[abstract garnet]

what does make linux so much better? Windows might be easier to set up for someone, for instance. Or they might be running services that are more available for windows? Idk. But it's their choice. You don't know their reasons either.

[dusty vortex]

Like described here? - (no fix yet... although most users reporting this issue appear to be running windows based servers... so 1 workaround may be to use linux instead)
https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1283191576641798144

[steel osprey]

when i have a Linux VM and host proxmox; so why i host a Win 10 ( and not Windows Server) in a VM? 😉

useless

because he was able to setup Proxmos.

Linux is faster than WIndows in hosting Dedicated servers

just simple

[abstract garnet]

im happy not everyone is as arrogant as you are 😄 It would make life more of a pain than it already is.

that last one may be off-topic and should have kept my trap shut, but i just felt like saying it out loud.

[steel osprey]

That's not arrogant; that's the truth. and 98% here confuse this channel with a help channel for “how to set up my server properly”; which has nothing to do with the Satisfactory server.

It's getting so annoying that everyone expects help with things that have nothing to do with the dedicated server of Satisfactory

There is a running Docker Container; there are working eggs for Ptero and Pelican. And for Windows they can use WindowsGSM. Also setting up the server with steamcmd is also no magic.

But setting up Proxmox on linux and host a Win10 VM in it, toi host a Satisfactory server is brainless and its absolut offtopic here. Sry; just my 2 cents

[peak vessel]

maybe the more direct question is, "Does the SatisfactoryDedicatedServer normally fail when the host OS enters a suspended state?" (#dedicated-servers message)

[steel osprey]

Why the Hostserver should do this? A VM runs 24/7

[peak vessel]

not a VM, a bare metal host.

[steel osprey]

still 24/7 online. Never see any server which goes into suspended state.

[peak vessel]

Mine. Mine does. Mine goes to sleep. I do not keep it on 24/7.

[steel osprey]

Then the best place to ask, is your Hoster. Offtopic here. Not a problem with the dedicated server

[chrome pumice]

90% of what is talked about here is helping people get their server up and running for the first time. And general questions about it.

[steel osprey]

or do you host @home?

[peak vessel]

the original question is explicitly about the behaviour of the dedicated server, regardless of hosting method

[steel osprey]

no; 95% are questions about;L "help me to setup a server, because i dont know, what i'm doing"

see what i wrote: There are enough "Noob" Apps, to help setup the server for everyone

[dusty vortex]

if it is not online 24/7, then shutdown the service before suspending the server, then start the dedicated server again when you resume the server.

most servers do not go to sleep, going to sleep will cause the dedicated server to loose its network connections, and is unable to recover from it.

it seems you would be the first person to report this type of behaviour so there is no known workarounds other than keeping it online 24/7 or be sure to stop the dedicated server before sleeping, and starting it again after it wakes.

[steel osprey]

You said that your host server goes into a suspended mode; not the Satisfactory server

[chrome pumice]

I would assume while asleep the server will not be running. I would also bet that it will need to be restarted when the host is wakes up.

[peak vessel]

thank you, that was my assumption but I couldn't see anything related in the wiki for suspend mode support

[dusty vortex]

sleeping a server is not recommended for this type of game, the dedicated server was designed to be run 24/7

[steel osprey]

and its not normal; only for Homehosters 😉

and again offtopic

[distant linden]

Trying to run my server has been BRUTAL.
Using playit.gg to generate a sharedIP for the server.

I can join it.
My friends can add the server and see it online but are unable to join due to connection timed out.
Anyone had this and been able to get around it?

[steel osprey]

Homehosting?

if yes; fix your network

playit.gg isa for homehosters and it looks like, you didnt setup your network correkt.

offtopic here

[abstract garnet]

you should check out default gateway from ipconfig in windows or ip route show in linux. Head there with your web browser, log in to your router and set up port forwarding and static ip dhcp for your server

so git good before asking for help? 🙂

[distant linden]

lmao ok

[abstract garnet]

i was being sarcastic. I'm not a mod, and I don't dictate what is ot and what is not. But I'm glad to help if I can, and not whine about having to read other people's problems.

[distant linden]

Im using playit gg because starlink routers do not support port forwarding but kk thx

[chrome pumice]

Have them check the ms. The default timeout is like 30ms. You can up that value if that is the only issue.

[distant linden]

Ty! MS is probably high.
I'll google around for where to change that setting, do you happen to know off the top of your head tho?

Confirmed, his ms is 80

[steel osprey]

then its not really the place here to ask for help

have nothing to do with the Satisfactory dedicated server

i bet starlink support can help; they get a lot of money from you

And if you can join and not your mate, then its a problem in your home network

[distant linden]

lmfao dude you're giving discord mod energy.
How dare i come to a satisfactory discord with an issue getting people connected to my dedicated server and ask for help.

[frosty gale]

This goover guy needs to get lost

[feral dawn]

does playit.gg limit anything such as connectivity speeds, ive heard of it but never used it.

[steel osprey]

but your question is absolutly offtopic. Fix your network 😄

not a problem with the server

[frosty gale]

Only thing he's done so far is tell people they're in the wrong place to ask

And talk about how the dedicated servers have absolutely no problems with them

[steel osprey]

they are. All questioon have nothing to do with the DEDICATED SERVER form satisfactory

[frosty gale]

Dude take a long walk off a short pier

[steel osprey]

i host a lot and non have problems 😉

[hollow shore]

Hello. I see massive fps drops when riding the hypertube (or flying after taking an hypertube cannon) towards my main base. I have a quite large base, so my guess is maybe there's trouble when loading all the assets in this area (probably a different chunk of the world, too ?) : fast travel = lots of assets to load in a short period of time, probably.
I'm having trouble figuring out if it's a server or client related issue (since it's graphical assets, I would guess the dedicated server doesn't have much to handle in this particular case ? idk)

Are there known issues (and hopefully solutions) to this ? Is this a common issue ? I have done a search, both online and this very discord server, and most of the time it's people having slow Internet or low-end hardware on their server, which is not my case.

[sharp portal]

I was running my dedicated server from my laptop, playing on my main PC. I went on a trip, playing on my laptop, then when I got home, trying to load the save on the dedicated server crashes, every time, giving the error in the picture. I can run it fine in client, but not on the dedicated. (No Mods or anything) D:
Any ideas what the cause could be?

[feral dawn]

also @distant linden - does playit.gg allow you to specify UDP/TCP and both?, because if so you need both.

[steel osprey]

So far I haven't had any problems like before. It actually works. But I've started again.

What does your host system look like? RAM? CPU?

[distant linden]

It does. Its currently setup for both yes.

[feral dawn]

hmm

[lavish magnet]

any information on a fix for the server going offline when certain players disconnect?

[distant linden]

I can also hit the hosted IP and get a response

[feral dawn]

u can see them attempting to connect on the servers console?

[distant linden]

I can yes

[frosty gale]

#1283191576641798144

[distant linden]

They timeout after 60s though

[hollow shore]

20-24 Gb are given to the Docker container

[feral dawn]

I'm not too sure how latency sensitive Satisfactory is, i understand your using Starlink where latency can be all over the place.

perhaps u can try something different, such as ngrok (not totally free) or radmin.

you can also use a VPN provider, such as AirVPN which support port forwarding @distant linden

[steel osprey]

ok, should be enough. Is this a new Factory or an old save?

[hollow shore]

yeah this is quite a beast of a machine, or should be. New save

[distant linden]

Appreciate it ty.
I've got nord I can mess with that to port forward.
Worst case we can try swapping to him hosting and see if its a starlink issue.

[hollow shore]

we have long belts across the map. I wondered if this, too, couldn't cause issues since we have had occurrences of items being invisible on some of the longest ones

[feral dawn]

worth doing stuff to just rule out issues, for sure. yw

[lavish magnet]

thanks, and unfortunate.

[dusty vortex]

if you have the RAM spare, you could try with this additional command line argument when launching the game

-ini:Engine:[ConsoleVariables]:wp.Runtime.EnableServerStreaming=0

it disables streaming the world into ram, so will use less ram when set to 1 and use more ram when set to 0.

it might help for your use case.

[hollow shore]

@dusty vortex on the server or client ?

[feral dawn]

This issue from my own understanding is related to blueprints. Sometimes clearing the BP Designer when there are belts or lifts in can cause a server crash. Other things are if BP's have been placed in the world.

You can use a site such as https://satisfactory-calculator.com/ to edit your save file and delete any blueprinted builds in an attempt to restore your save.

[frosty gale]

Server

[dusty vortex]

server side, when launching the server from the command line.

[distant linden]

Sorry one other question. It seems weird that hes getting booted after 60s when I've set my engine.ini file to allow for 3 minutes.
Does client side need to change this file as well?

[hollow shore]

can't this be set in Engine.ini or something ? This is a docker container, so I would have to mess with the compose to alter the command line

[feral dawn]

Yes most likely.

[sharp portal]

Oh dang, we did have an issue with some blueprint builds, Do we have to delete all blueprinted builds? or is there a way to pick specific ones? we've used a lot of blueprints

[feral dawn]

it'll most likely be the latest one that was placed down, if u know which one that is u can try to remove only that.

hopful they fix it proper soon, because a few of my builds crash the server if i delete a belt lol.

so you aint alone 😦

[sharp portal]

Okay, thank you!
Do you know where exactly I'm looking for this save editor?

[feral dawn]

go to the Interactive Map, and on the right is a click/drop your save file here.

[dusty vortex]

yes it can be set in the .ini file also.
which worked fine for me in U8, but did not seem to do much with 1.0, i added it to my launch command instead and it seemed to work for me.
but in short either approach should work, if 1 does not, try the other

[sharp portal]

Yeah this has been a huge issue for us, but weirldy only the player using the steam deck has had the issue with his blueprints, lol,

[sharp portal]

Ty!!

[feral dawn]

np, backup ur save first

[hollow shore]

thanks for the tip, will try that, can't hurt anyway

[dusty vortex]

yes

[hollow shore]

the way I'm reading the variable name, 1 should stream to the ram so more ram usage ?

it's currently enabled

only 7 Gb ram used atm. Don't think it's an issue

[dusty vortex]

no.
ENABLE server streaming = 0 == do not stream content from disk to ram, load it all into ram (so uses more ram)

[hollow shore]

ooooh

neat

[steel osprey]

But the problem with belts should be fixed in last patch

[hollow shore]

I'll see how it behaves on the long run, but it seems to have notably improved things (and I mean notably)

thanks a lot, mate

[feral dawn]

No, they were not fixed completely. annoyingly.

[chrome pumice]

On satisfactory.wiki.gg there is a page for configuration files that should help you raise the timeout ms. If you have not already found the answer.

[formal orbit]

Hello there, are someone using the Linux version of the server by any chance?

[frosty gale]

Plenty are

[worldly meadow]

many do, I'm one as well

[regal marsh]

what was the command?
I think we have already checked the streaming to be 0 by default

[frosty gale]

@regal marsh

[regal marsh]

yeah thats 0 by default

[formal orbit]

I got an immediate crash after creating a new party or loading one. It run on a 32mb server

[frosty gale]

Maybe make it 1 I guess

[frosty gale]

32mb is not enough for a server

[regal marsh]

never changed it

[formal orbit]

Nothing really interesting in the log itself

[chrome pumice]

32mb??? Also party??

[formal orbit]

Gb sorry

[worldly meadow]

I'm going to assume that's a typo and you meant 32GB,

[dusty vortex]

no, its not, in U8 it was default to 0, in 1.0 its default is 1.

[regal marsh]

but its 0 and also with other guy we checked when someone brought this up few days ago

[chrome pumice]

So every time you load a save or create a new one the server crashes?

[formal orbit]

Yes

[regal marsh]

#dedicated-servers message
#dedicated-servers message

[worldly meadow]

There's always something interesting in the logs. Do you have the console output as well? That can tell use where in the process it's stopping.

[dusty vortex]

so why then without this does the server cap out around 4gb of ram, and then when this is set, my server ram usage increases.
try it your self and see.

[formal orbit]

I will look at them and keep you informed

[chrome pumice]

What exactly does the log say. It should tell you the reason it crashed.

[worldly meadow]

Mine is using defaults here and runs around 8GB on a fairly clean world.

[regal marsh]

my ram is like 8gb usage when I start server
then later settles to 4/5
cant try now

[unreal crystal]

we're working on nuclear and it's barely reserved 6.9gb

[steel osprey]

yes

[worldly meadow]

Current usage for the Docker container running my server.

[dusty vortex]

perhaps some additional logic decides if its enabled or not, or the settings changed since a patch, i dunno. 🤷
in either case, when folks have tried using/setting it, folks had noticed a difference.

[steel osprey]

73% cpu is a bit high. How many cores?

[worldly meadow]

8 cores, when everyone is on it's regularly over 130% running at 30ticks/sec

[steel osprey]

100% is 1 core normally

[worldly meadow]

yup, it goes to 800% since there are 8 cores

[steel osprey]

800%? Really never saw that. not more than 200%

[worldly meadow]

i've never had the server use that much

it's theoretical max

[steel osprey]

How much ram does your server have?
