dedicated-servers

[rare grove]

I know next to nothing about mail servers so I couldnt tell you much about that

Wait you think I am a human? Does this mean I passed the turing test?

Did my sarcasm module work 😯

[grim mica]

Tars, adjust sarcasm to 10%

[rare grove]

Permission denied.

[clear lagoon]

I cannot recall you discussing taking a turing test.

[rare grove]

Well yeah you aren't supposed to know about the turing test until you fail it.

It wouldn't be a good turing test if you already knew you were talking to a computer from the beggining would it now.

[scenic echo]

anybody know where to disable qemu in proxmox?

[grim mica]

Set the CPU type to 'host'

[scenic echo]

thanks

[edgy shore]

hay is there any way to do custom music on boombox on server ?

[deep turret]

if you come back to it, the factory passwords are usually indicated on the bottom tags
things like "the 16 first character of the serial number" etc

[median anvil]

can som tell me why dedi server has at time that is 2 hours behinde the computer time in consol. and is thear a way to make it run on pc time

[elfin bane]

perhaps UTC

[median anvil]

Utc is only one after at my location

[elfin bane]

+1 for day time saving (just guessing)

[median anvil]

maby.. hopning to find a way to chance it

[elfin bane]

where do you read the time?

[median anvil]

https://i.imgur.com/Cghr1kJ.png

evry line i yellow

[elfin bane]

let me check this in my docker

[median anvil]

YYMMDD time

[deep turret]

wait a month and it'll be only 1h off

[elfin bane]

jep, its UTC (for me germany = utc+2)

so no need to worry

[median anvil]

me denmark and +2 was hopning som had a parameter to add to server to force time zone

[elfin bane]

like in webserver logs, etc. its common to use UTC. Why do you want to change it?

is it a linux server? then you can write a pipe script that replaces the timestamps

[median anvil]

windows server.. and i like to chance it to fik server time so i dont net to cal to rigt time whan i look to to finde reason for ect crash and so

[clear lagoon]

👀 I never noticed because my servers are set to UTC but looks like the server logs UTC on my local pc as well xD

[elfin bane]

hm, perhaps with some power shell magic, try chat gpt for a translation script

[clear lagoon]

there's a setting for it

[deep turret]

asking chatgpt for codes, worst thing to do

[clear lagoon]

set log.Timestamp to 3

[tawny shadow]

something is up perfomance wise with creatures.
running a i5 6500 with Pterodactyl,
made a full playtrough with 3 people on the server with version 0.8, only the usual desync problems related to the dedicated server.

but with 1.0 the cpu usage goes up with when a creature is somewhere in the player area and the usage goes up for ~25% to 70%
as soon as the creature becomes aggressive and attacks the player the usage goes to 100% and it starts to lag,

anyone else observed the same?

[elfin bane]

for simple tasks it is useful, it wrote me a complete node api (i am a .net develloper but wanted to keep it simple) to provide the savefiles for the other players. Just a little corrections an it worked

[noble slate]

Are drone ports bugged on dedicated servers?
This is showing the wrong target and an irrelevant relevant port

[noble sluice]

Does it really matter?

[clear lagoon]

"no drone"

[median anvil]

to me yes.

[noble slate]

Yes I know there's no drone, the drone comes from the other drone port

that's not what I'm highlighing here

It's pointing to the wrong target

[clear lagoon]

I'm not sure what you mean

oh the relevant port

you're sure this one is not set as a target of the dune desert port by accident?

oh wait nvm

dumb question of me lmao

in that case it does look bugged yes 😛

[noble slate]

We tried multiple combinations

it just randomly picks destination ports

[clear lagoon]

I probably never noticed because I have exactly two drone ports

[noble slate]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66f54ca8772a987f4a8d27be

[clear lagoon]

am I correctly seeing you have drone ports with duplicate names?

[clear lagoon]

timing xD

[noble slate]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66edd8ec772a987f4a8bda4c

[noble slate]

Yes, they're ports I haven't assigned to anything yet.

[clear lagoon]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66f6d758772a987f4a8d5161 possibly?

[noble slate]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/search?search=drone&date=Month

[clear lagoon]

they mention that the dropdowns stop functioning correctly when you have identically named drone ports

[noble slate]

Maybe

[clear lagoon]

just to see if it fixes it - can you give all the ports unique names for a bit, i.e. add a number?

[noble slate]

Yep, good call.

[fluid heron]

helllo, i have a dedicated server with pterodactyl... i see when nobody is online, the server is like in "pause" and no "chunkloadded" like a minecraft modded server... so, factory don't works when i m offline.... do you know how to fix that?

[clear lagoon]

yes, disable auto-pause in the server settings screen

[fluid heron]

ah ok, i try with command line and not working ^^

and do you know how install mods with pterodactyl or command line?

[dusty vortex]

You may need to check in with the ficsit mod discord for answers to this question.
1.0 introduced a lot of changes and broke all mods, so a lot of mods need maintenance from the creators to work again.

[steel osprey]

There is no cmd line cmd for that

and never was 😉

Was the same before 1.0 😉

And there are no mods atm and will never be able to install via cmd line. YOu will ever need the ModManager to install mods

[fluid heron]

i find this on google: -PauseWhenEmpty=false

[steel osprey]

dont work

use ingame Server manager

thats the official way

only 1 checkbox

[fluid heron]

i m wit h an egg pterodactyl...

[steel osprey]

the egg never used this

[fluid heron]

because i use a vps for differents game

ok

do you know other tools like pterodactyl?

[steel osprey]

You are only able to change this in servermanger; btw also before 1.0

[tawny shadow]

Pelican

[steel osprey]

have nothing to do with Satisfactory and i bet google anwser this

[fluid heron]

indeed

[steel osprey]

not for such guys 😉

its still in beta

[fluid heron]

and i don't like use docker like that ^^

i know docker is great but too complicate for me ^^

[steel osprey]

thats your opinion

[fluid heron]

indeed, it's for that i said "i don't like" and not "docker is a bad tool ^^ "

[steel osprey]

BUt, i dont know any opensource Panel, which dont use docker to host gameservers

[steel osprey]

idk really, what docker have to do with your problem 😄

[fluid heron]

we speak about pelican tool ^^

[steel osprey]

dont pause the server was ever in servermaneger since the first dedicated server was released for satisfactory

[steel osprey]

lol? Pelican = Fork of Ptero? tecnical the same

[fluid heron]

ok

so in any case, is not the discussion in first ^^

[steel osprey]

Pelican is under active development and add new features. Ptero onyl gets security updates, when the dev have time and get enough donations

[fluid heron]

ah ok

and the best community for active eggs / addon plugin?

[steel osprey]

In terms of programming and features, ptero is dead. Matthew, the new dev, doesn't do anything. That's why all the devs who worked on Ptero have gone to pelican

[steel osprey]

same as before; parkers eggs for free eggs

but we are now offtopic

[fluid heron]

indeed ^^

[south current]

I wish we could ban people from dedicated servers

[steel osprey]

change Password as a workaround

[south current]

ah yes I forgot about that

[noble sluice]

Pterodactyl® has their own Discord server. Maybe head over there with questions about Pterodactyl®....
I'm using Portainer to control my Docker containers.

[tawny shadow]

anyone succesfully changed the max bandwith?

edited the game/engine/scalability.ini and changed the bandwith to "104857600" and made it read only.
same on the windows client.

when i connect it shows on the serverlog

Client netspeed is 300000

made entries for every network quality level on the client

[NetworkQuality@0]
TotalNetBandwidth=104857600
MaxDynamicBandwidth=104857600
MinDynamicBandwidth=10485760

and so on...
when i change the quality from ultra to high the log shows
Client netspeed is 300000

did they hardcore the network quality stuff?

[chrome pumice]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/61dfb56d831c8520523689ba

This should work now. I know the post is them saying it doesn't but I have done this in the past and it worked. I think your exact lines might have something wrong.

But I don't think changing network quality is something that needs to be done anymore.

[tawny shadow]

thx, will give it a try,
i want to increase it to check if it help on some lags with larger builds with blueprints, i see the network traffic spiking without any sigificant cpu load but its get laggy for a second.

[midnight idol]

Been having this issue since starting up a new server. any ideas?

[eager monolith]

Tempted to adjust the tick rate....but No performance issues atm...so I do not see a need....Any reason other then performance?

[quick mist]

Most common cause for this is the clock or timezone setting on the server host being incorrect

[swift shadow]

Hey all, set up dedicated server on my debian vm earlier, I can connect on the local network but my friends are unable to connect

ports have been open on my router, canyouseeme says the port is open but they're getting this error

[chrome pumice]

Only reason I have ever adjusted tick rates was to make belts look smoother.

[midnight idol]

weird, i am running this off my own rig. Any fixes?

[quick mist]

... check the date and timezone setting on your rig, I suppose?

[chrome pumice]

Are you sure the IP info is correct?

[swift shadow]

yeah just triple checked everything :/

[midnight idol]

man i wouldnt even know what to look at to see if it's correct or not lol

[chrome pumice]

Well that error is a generic timeout. It doesn't look like they are getting to it at all. Do you see any login attempts on the server when they try?

[swift shadow]

Nothing at all when attempting - but that's for the info, I'll do some rebooting/checking

also nice mutual servers nerd 😄

[chrome pumice]

With you seeing nothing on the server I would make sure it's binding to the correct ports your forwarded and the correct IP.

[frigid quail]

Are my friends supposed to go to orbit when i use a boombox next to their log-out body?

[rare grove]

I think they should sounds like a great time

[midnight idol]

anyone else have any ideas on this? Tried re-installing both satisfactory and the server, no dice

[hidden forge]

certificate is not yet valid
check your time and date settings

[warped steeple]

Hi all! A quick question if anyone has a moment. I'm trying to host a dedicated server on a second machine I have and have it running fine through SteamCMD to my other machine. But I can't figure out how to get anyone to join from outside of my network. There's no Session ID to share and they can't join via Steam when I'm playing either.

Totally new to this, so any help is appreciated. I feel like I'm missing something super obvious.

[midnight idol]

what settings specifically would cause this? time and date settings in epic? windows? etc?

[hidden forge]

client and server host machine

[midnight idol]

running this off my own rig and this was me attempting to connect to it

[frigid quail]

Imma assume you need to port forward your router to the port you have set to use, then give people who want to join your ipv4 address and the port, then they can join via the server manager

[tiny light]

any idea what happened to my screen?

[frigid quail]

By the looks of it, you paid the sun a visit

[hidden forge]

#patch-notes message

[chrome pumice]

The connect via the server manager same as you did.

[warped steeple]

Trying this

[warped steeple]

Have tried but it doesn't seem to work!

[chrome pumice]

Check what time it shows in the log file that would tell you if it's off.

[chrome pumice]

Do you have the ports forwarded on your router?

[warped steeple]

i believe so! i'm a noob here but i think i've got it

[frigid quail]

Ive already told him about that, but yeah how u join dedicated servers is with the host ip and port

and port forwarding allows people that arent yourself to join

[chrome pumice]

What happens when they try to connect? Do you get an error or see anything in the server log?

[warped steeple]

i'm trying to get my friend to try to connect again right now haha, will report back!

[frigid quail]

Do you know how to get ip and port?

aight

[sturdy parrot]

how do I use a blueprint from a local game on a dedicated (hosted on indifferernt broccoli) server?

[frigid quail]

I dont really believe you can

I dont think the devs intended for people to make blueprints that way

[chrome pumice]

You can put them into the file. I don't remember the location but if you search in here I know people have done it.

[warped steeple]

I think I've done it correctly? (Tp link router)

[chrome pumice]

You need both tcp and udp did you do that?

[warped steeple]

yup

[frigid quail]

Go for it

is that the ip you are using in satisfactory

[warped steeple]

yeah that port is set up for the IP of the machine i'm using as the server

[frigid quail]

alright

[chrome pumice]

Has your friend tried to connect again?

[warped steeple]

still waiting for a reply 🙃

i think he started playing something while i was troubleshooting 😂

[frigid quail]

If you need more extensive help then feel free to dm me, but it seems u might be all setup

How are you getting the ip you want to use?

[warped steeple]

"whatismypublicip" .com

[frigid quail]

ope lol

that might work but to make sure your internet doesnt have a vpn or something, a more reliable way is open command prompt and do ipconfig

[warped steeple]

good to know!

(no vpn on that machine tho)

[frigid quail]

should see some stuff like this

[chrome pumice]

Also if your ISP is using cgnat you could have issues.

[warped steeple]

From a quick bit of research seems like my ISP might be. Would that cause issues beyond the IP changing?

[midnight idol]

where would i find this log file? sorry not super literate in this stuff

[frigid quail]

Check frequently ig, Might screw with your port forward but I cant garuntee since our ISPs are so different

[sweet basalt]

Is there a way to change faze and tier you start on on a server also how to take the multiplayer ssave and move to server.

[topaz scarab]

literally all in the ui

[chrome pumice]

If they are using cgnat then you can not host a server.

[iron bear]

Seriously, fix the fucking pipes on dedicated servers. This shit is ridiculous.

[warped steeple]

he just sees it as offline, so yeah i guess cgnat is the next thing to check. supposedly i can call to get it sorted

[tender thicket]

do you know ur public IP?

[warped steeple]

yes

[tender thicket]

does it start with 200?

[warped steeple]

no, 173

[tender thicket]

then its prob not cgnat

[warped steeple]

oh well that's good!

[tender thicket]

cgnat is specifically 200.0.0.0/8 i believe

sorry 100

100.64.0.0/10

[warped steeple]

gotcha

[tender thicket]

either way not ur problem

where is the server hosted

locally to u?

[warped steeple]

on a local machine separate from the one i'm playing on

[tender thicket]

ok can u access it locally?

[warped steeple]

yeah

[tender thicket]

try going to https:// publicip:port in ur browser

tell us what u see

no space, i just had to add it so that the link wouldnt be removed

[warped steeple]

I mean it just googles it lol, "portchecker .co" says my IP and port 80

[tender thicket]

u have to add the http

specifically

and publicip and port are the publicip and port of ur server

no space

[warped steeple]

LOL ok I'm dumb 😂

[tender thicket]

ur good

easy mistake to make

show us what u c

[warped steeple]

"can't be reached" 🤔

[tender thicket]

just a default chrome page? or whatever browser ur using

Can u show us the page without identifying info?

[chrome pumice]

Probably the ISP using cgnat then.

[warped steeple]

Chrome yeah, "this site can't be reached" generic error page

[tender thicket]

IP starts with 173, not cgnat

cgnats 100.64.0.0/10

[tender thicket]

Ok then its a port forwarding issue

Just to be clear, u used the 173 IP and the port ur servers running off right?

[chrome pumice]

Cgnat isn't a public IP. It's a fake public IP. If he went to whatismyip that won't show cgnat.

[warped steeple]

My router app asked for the internal IP of the device I was setting up forwarding for. Lemme check that out again

[tender thicket]

isnt the resultant IP in that case still in that range?

I thought thats how cgnat worked

Just that multiple locations can share an IP or smth like that

[chrome pumice]

No. think of it as a second nat. At least that's how ISPs use it. That's why servers don't work on it.

[warped steeple]

Where would I be able to check

[tender thicket]

Okay thats news to me, then how would someone figure out if they are cgnat'd?

is that per router?

[chrome pumice]

The IP on your router.

[chrome pumice]

IP on the router/modem will be cgnat one but the public the ISP nats it to will show on whatismyip.

[tender thicket]

huh good to know, thanks

[warped steeple]

Like I'm 5, where? 😅

[tender thicket]

what brand router?

[warped steeple]

TP Link Deco

I see a 192 IP with a 255 subnet but I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for

[tender thicket]

192 is local

[chrome pumice]

Somewhere on the router it should show the IP that is being handed out by then. It might even call it a public IP.

[warped steeple]

Figured

[warped steeple]

Ok checking

[tender thicket]

Can u log onto the router?

id assume so

[chrome pumice]

That's your internal IP.

[tender thicket]

Worth a try?

[warped steeple]

Yeah that's where I'm seeing 192 and that's all

[tender thicket]

Do u have a "wan" page or a "network map" page or smth like that?

[grand path]

can always google whatsmyip, it should show you your wan ip

[tender thicket]

We r trying to figure out if hes cgnatted or not so he has to check his router specifically

[grand path]

are you able to see what your router is pulling on the internet/wan side?

[warped steeple]

Ok I'm pretty sure the issue is that my ISP has me running off of a second router. They plugged mine into theirs to save some headaches during install. Lemme Ethernet my laptop into the other one and see if that gives the info

[grand path]

if it's not the same as the whatsmyip address then your probably nat'd

[tender thicket]

xfinity?

idek if ur NA

[warped steeple]

Lumos, a small provider in NC/SC area

[tender thicket]

hmm, yeah if the other router isnt specifically in "bridge mode" or "ip passthrough" or smth like that then the ISP router would be blocking the ports

See if you can enable that on the ISP router

[grand path]

That usually requires a call to the isp and they generally like to charge more for a static ip

[tender thicket]

not necessarily

I could switch my xfi router to bridge no problems

idk the policies and politics of small ISPs tho

[spiral radish]

Best to bridge and avoid double NAT

[grand path]

bridge mode is different, but if it's nat'd and not getting a wan address...

[tender thicket]

thats what we r trying to do now

[grand path]

then it won't solve the problem

[tender thicket]

hes saying hes not bridged at all, and he couldnt find the wan IP

not that it isnt getting one

[grand path]

thats why I said if you can get into your router look for the wan address and compare it to whatsmyip google search

if theya re the same then he should be able to host a server

[spiral radish]

Yeah, just endorsing the solution xD

[grand path]

if they are not then he is being nat'd and will need to call the isp

[warped steeple]

Ok I think we're in business on the ISP router

Ipv4 starting in 216

"port dmz already used"

The ISP router does appear to be in a bridge mode

[grand path]

if you can't bridge it DMZ it to your router

and set your router as a static ip

on the wan side

then on the router forward the ports to your servers ip

[warped steeple]

Wait no crap, I misread the page. IPv4 is 100.68
That's cgnet isn't it

[grand path]

on the wan?

on the modem?

[warped steeple]

On the ISP router

[grand path]

if you want you can shoot me a message, I'm headed home though I can help you with it when I get back on, I shouldn't be to long. What does whatsmyip on google tell you? Is it the same number?

[deep lantern]

hay guys, one question.
Is it possibel to start from beginning on a dedicatet server?

When i create a game it sends me straigt to stage 2

[warped steeple]

173 on that, which is the same I was seeing on the other router

[grand path]

other router? your isp's router? or your router?

[warped steeple]

Same 173 IP on both

[grand path]

can I message dm you?

[warped steeple]

Yeah

[tender thicket]

Nope, start on local multiplayer then upload to the server once u get tier 2

[topaz scarab]

well just until you finish poop is enough

[warped steeple]

thank you guys for your help, i'm gonna take another crack at it tomorrow but i learned a lot!

[stuck knoll]

I just ran the update via steamcmd.. wtf?

[topaz scarab]

you installed/updated to the wrong folder then

[stuck knoll]

yea... i just relized that

How do I make steamcmd install to that specific directory?

its not cd like normal cmd prompt is it?

[dense bobcat]

you force it

[spring reef]

do we need to pay to make a 24/7 server?

[stuck knoll]

force_install blah/directory/blah/server?

[dense bobcat]

also, not a server question, but client, my game on steam, i hit play, and nothign happens ; ;

[topaz scarab]

.

[dense bobcat]

yeh somethin like that

[spring reef]

hi, does dedicated servers mean 24/7 servers hosted by satisfactory?

[dense bobcat]

no

i don't think so

we make our own servers

our own smelters

our own belts

[spring reef]

ok, thanks

[stuck knoll]

+force_install_dir ${SERVER_DIR} +app_update ${GAME_ID} +quit

that seems to be it

with slight modification tho lol

thank you all

[gusty void]

So I've got a Windows 10 box running server. It was set up per the gg wiki page using steamcmd. I have it set up as a service with " -log -unattended". The service is running and FactoryServer is running, using about 4gb of ram. Windows firewall is disabled and I'm attempting to connect from a client on the same subnet (no filtering between the two).

When I first start the server, the client can see it in Server Manager. I can only join through Server Manager; adding it to 'join a game' doesn't work. I can play around for however long I'm in, but it seems that shortly after I disconnect, the client shows the server is offline. The service and executable are still running on the server, but it can't be managed or joined from the client.

I don't see any mention of this on the wiki page, so I figured I'd ask here. Apologies if it's already been answered somewhere.

[topaz scarab]

known issue

[gusty void]

okay... rereading it. Any clues on where to look? I don't see anything matching under the FAQ.

[gusty void]

even searching for the word "offline" only returns results from previous versions

[chrome pumice]

Downloading and running the game server is free.

[chrome pumice]

When connecting to the server you only use the server manager. With the issue of it being offline but the .exe still running is a know issue. The server stops listing on the port but the server still runs. No know fix or workaround.

[gusty void]

Understood. I'd seen the mention about 'join game' not working, but not the 'offline' issue. Odd that Windows still shows that it appears to be listening on 7777, but good to know this is a known issue. I'll keep an eye out for an update. Thanks!

[spring reef]

if I want to add a friend, do I need to be on for him to play

[chrome pumice]

The server needs to be on.

[spring reef]

Can he turn it on from his pc, if I created it

[chrome pumice]

Not unless he has access to the host that is running the server.

[spring reef]

Ok, thanks

[sharp fern]

Did you Port-Forward?

[gusty void]

Windows firewall is disabled and I'm attempting to connect from a client on the same subnet (no filtering between the two).

[sly forge]

has anyone figured out the breakdown of the listening port thing with windows yet?

I can join just fine the first time and it shows the ports open

But once I leave, the listening ports collapse

I've added
FactoryServer.exe -ini:Engine:[HTTPServer.Listeners]:DefaultBindAddress=any -log -unattended
to my exe from the site listed in the FAQ, but the same issue persists

[wise delta]

Thanks for sharing. I’ve been having this issue recently and was wondering what I was doing wrong

[tender thicket]

u dont need the defaultbindaddr

thats the default functionality

[sly forge]

I've test with just -log -unattended
same results

[tender thicket]

Try it without them as well?

just straight exe

[sly forge]

is this just a windows hosting thing and I'd be beter off with a container using 'nix?

[tender thicket]

see what happens

[sly forge]

sure, one sec

[tender thicket]

Container would be easier yes

[wise delta]

Like docker?

[tender thicket]

Just run wolveix' docker img

yup

[sly forge]

initial connection working fine. disconnecting now and trying to reconnect

no good, same issue

it breaks down the listening port on disconnect

[tender thicket]

yeh thats a windows bug

or rather a bug with windows satisfactory

[sly forge]

understood. I'll start whipping up a container of it. Thanks!

[tender thicket]

yup take a peek at wolveix' satisfactory container

hes in here so u can just ask qs if u got any

[sly forge]

gonna nuke those screenshots just in case I missed any ID info on them.

[tender thicket]

thats fair

[sly forge]

I'll go check it out. Thanks again!

[gloomy timber]

How can i increase server pop for dedi server?

[tender thicket]

-ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8

put that in ur launch args

change the num to whatever

[gloomy timber]

is there a way to not do it through steam so I can play on the server with my same acc

[tender thicket]

steamcmd

easiest way to do that is thru docker prob

saves u having to faff abt with launching the game

[robust dagger]

I had the same thing pop up earlier today. Kicked me off my server and haven’t been able to join back if connecting from WAN. Double checked all router setting and nothing has changed

[proud wigeon]

two questions. #1 can you make the server (windows 10) use more ram? and the server crashes anytime anyone tries to use a blueprint machine (error code pictured below)

[topaz scarab]

open a chrome tab or two

[analog sequoia]

Does anyone know how to do a dedicated server of version 367101?

[bright steppe]

Yes, we experience the same thing.

[fallen aspen]

this happened overnight and my server is non accessible anymore.
Is this something I can resolve myself ?
I'm desperate here 😦

[clear lagoon]

is your server on the same computer or local network as you play the game on? did you restart the server after closing the game?

[honest sedge]

Hi Lena, thanks for a quick reply. it's on a different physical machine, that I even restarted.
I loaded a savegame from before this happened and it runs fr a couple of minutes before it starts doing this again

[clear lagoon]

can you download the save, load it in single player and re-save it, then upload the new save and load it on the server?

[honest sedge]

I'll give that a try n a sec.
The satis calculator website sees the "77" and "72" numbered power grids, which is "some" help

[clear lagoon]

yes the log indicates an issue with connections on power poles. do you see any excessively long power lines across the map in SCIM?

bet it's another blueprint glitch. a cable not attaching properly on one side, or a power pole placed in the blueprint that was connected to something that didn't save in the blueprint properly

did you place any specific blueprints recently?

[honest sedge]

we use blueprints all the time on the server, so that's a possibility.
Single player loads, but funny enough lights are blinking, so that's a sign the electrivity is an issue?
Saving as a different name and copying/loading that in the dedicated server did not solve it, alas

[clear lagoon]

yes it's trying and failing to finish loading the power grid because it has missing connections

backup your saves. if you still have the blueprints loaded in the designer, you can try clearing the blueprint designer and see if any of the structures don't get cleared

[honest sedge]

I'll see wht I can do in single player to rectify this.
What a drag 😦

[clear lagoon]

yeah.. if you want you can share the save and I can try to take a look

[honest sedge]

hm, I'll send it through pm. Can's put URL's here 🙂

@clear lagoon at first glance it seems that clearing the blueprint designer did the trick.
Finger crossed and ❤️ for this pro tip

I'm not liable for brain damage cause by the spaghetti that my friends added in the save game btw 😄

[clear lagoon]

it's kind of obvious in SCIM one of the things that went wrong. this structure here is a blueprint I'm guessing?

[honest sedge]

jup, it's a small tube hub

[clear lagoon]

some of the power lines are attached to another copy of the blueprint way far out

(just above the red arrow I added)

[honest sedge]

holy moly. That's so weird 😮
Blueprint bug indeed then

[clear lagoon]

same for that to the next one further north

[honest sedge]

that's a very good eyesight and insight of you ❤️
Guess I'll redo that blueprint 😄
OMFG, you're such a lifesaver Lena

[clear lagoon]

delete the wall outlets that have the long lines attached in SCIM and hopefully that fixes the issue

[honest sedge]

jup, unloaded the blueprint solved the issue, so I'll remove the wall outlets and save it under a new name, delete the old BP

hero

[clear lagoon]

no problem, glad I could help 🙂 can you raise an issue for this on the QA site and upload your save there for the developers? it might help them with troubleshooting the issue

[honest sedge]

I shall do that.
You're awesome and thanks a bunch for this insanely speedy help

[clear lagoon]

I just realised the one in the middle is actually in the blueprint designer. so the two of them that were placed in the worlds were actually connecting to the one in the designer. wild 😂

it's the wall outlets of the placed blueprints connecting to three of the hypertube entrances in the designer

huh so I was curious but this is actually kinda interesting. the bugged hypertube entrances are actually in world-space and not attached to the blueprint designer.
i.e. normally you have

the glitched entrances do not have it

glitched entrances are also missing from the placed blueprint (I think)

I bet the blueprint saved the wire connections though, which led to this

[acoustic gulch]

server doesnt seem to autorestart after the 24hr restart happens

[quaint gust]

this is cooked

[formal orbit]

Hi there, is deleting a BP server crash a known issue ?

[clear lagoon]

there are several ways this can occur

[clear lagoon]

normally it should save and reload during that time... did it do nothing at all?

[acoustic gulch]

it just left the server offline

[clear lagoon]

the server process doesn't exit during the restart process, it just restarts the map/session. this means your server crashed

you can check the logs if you want to know why

[icy solstice]

Hello, i created a server with the steam app. I forwarded the port 7777 for TCP and UDP and also for the Windows firewall. I can connect to the server (with local host) but my friend can`t find the server (with my IP-adress), there is only a text that say "This server appears to be offline". Did i something wrong with the port forwarding or is somewhere else something wrong?

[sweet gorge]

so I switched from hosting the game under window to hosting the game under linux and now I rarely get "Unhandled Exception: SIGSEGV: invalid attempt to write memory at address 0x0000000000000003" crashes and then the save game seems to be broken. Anyone knows what this is? Am I missing some dependencies?

[clear lagoon]

The port forward or firewall is configured incorrectly

[icy solstice]

Thanks, i will try to fix it

[clear lagoon]

That could be literally anything. can you provide the log for the crash?

[sweet gorge]

I searched arround for the Crashes and it seems it could be the lack of IPv6 (see: https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/12s3l7m/comment/jgwlakw/)

I added -MultiHome=0.0.0.0 to my Params

I start the Server inside an netnamespace in linux so It only can bind to the given IP so this should be fine

[clear lagoon]

🤷‍♀️ like I said, it can be literally anything. in effect you didn't provide any info other than "it crashed"

[deep turret]

someone already talked about that in #design-and-architecture

triggering it on purpose
but it's bug

should not be possible to put line accross the blueprint borders even if it's with the same blueprint element

[sweet gorge]

@clear lagoon here is the full console log

[clear lagoon]

oh no this is worse. they designed a blueprint with a bunch of hypertube entrances, but for some reason some of the hypertube entrances didn't save as part of the blueprint, but they were "connected" with wires to wall outlets.
the original is still placed in the blueprint designer.
now, whenever they place the saved blueprint, those same wall outlets on the blueprint connect to the hypertube entrances in the blueprint designer all the way across the map

[deep turret]

I mean this is not worse
this is just a way of it triggering

[clear lagoon]

I guess the on purpose triggering you mentioned would be effectively connecting machines in a blueprint designer to world buildables, i.e. causing the blueprint to have infinite range power?

[clear lagoon]

that's a crash on failing to render a pipeline shape apparently

[sweet gorge]

So anything that I can do about it? I am not playing the game I am just hosting the servers^^

It seems this sometimes happens on autosave

[clear lagoon]

do you know if your players were placing any pipelines, hypertubes, or blueprints that contain those when the server crashed?

not sure there's much you can do. it's probably a bug, though I haven't seen this specific one before

[slender pollen]

Looking for some help - Can no longer access our dedicated server. We are at T8. Tried deleting some newer builds but still nothing

[sweet gorge]

hmm just hit confirm @slender pollen

@Lena I dont know this but maybe they did this, yes. I will ask them. But thanks for the help so far 🙂

[slender pollen]

Just loads for ever it seems

[clear lagoon]

if your server provider does not install a certificate, the server will generate one on its own. does it get stuck after clicking confirm?

[slender pollen]

Correct, then I get stuck on this loading screen

[clear lagoon]

oh boy. that's the same bug we saw this morning 😁

[slender pollen]

Ah, maybe a thing then

[regal parrot]

asking a question, can i disable spiders in an already started dedicated server

[clear lagoon]

you can fix it by deleting any power outlets that connect wires from a structure outside a blueprint designer to a structure inside a blueprint designer in SCIM

[deep turret]

you didn't access it before since 1.0 release right ?

[clear lagoon]

yes, you can change advanced game settings

[deep turret]

if you mean cat it's per user setting

else it's in advanced game settings

[regal parrot]

sorry, is it in somewhere of this

[clear lagoon]

create a new save in "manage saves > create save"
then go to "load save" and click "load game with advanced game settings enabled"

[regal parrot]

ohh i see

thanks

[clear lagoon]

@slender pollen let us know if you need help locating the problematic elements

[slender pollen]

Thank you, we are trying what suggested now

[fluid ginkgo]

Hi Lena. I was hosting the game for Soup. Removing power storage that was created in a blueprint worked. Loaded the same on single player. Manually dismantled. Saved, uploaded to the server. Started OK. Guessing it's a combination of blueprints with power storage wired up to each other

[clear lagoon]

chances are something in the blueprint designer didn't save properly into the blueprint. the bug you're seeing appears to be wires from a placed blueprint (these wires are invisible in-game) connecting to their original connection points in the blueprint designer.
when the game tries to load all power grid map cells it fails because those connections don't add properly

I always (and would recommend) clearing the blueprint designer after saving a blueprint: if anything is left behind you probably have a bugged blueprint and need to load it back and replace the missing structure

I actually may still have an old save with an example

[clear lagoon]

here's an example. see how several walls are left behind? it glitches out worse when they're conveyor belts, machines, power poles, stuff that can be connected to things that actually saved to the blueprint properly

[short vault]

I've been hosting on linux for a while. Everytime I launch my game, I get a server mismatch. When I use steamcmd to check for an update, it says everything is up to date.

[clear lagoon]

are you using the same command as during original installation, including force_install_dir if you used it?

[short vault]

Just using app_upgrade 1690800 verify

during setup i set a force download path

[regal marsh]

then you are installing update(clean install) into your steamcmd/steamapps/common (default install location)

[clear lagoon]

steamcmd doesn't remember the download path. if you use app_update without force_install_dir it will make a new installation in the default folder

[short vault]

10-4

[clear lagoon]

to update your existing installation, include the force_install_dir

[regal marsh]

also verify is wrong

validate

[short vault]

right, thanks. Habbit from something else

[regal marsh]

ideally just set up an .sh file
same command for installing as updating
just run it every time for update

Hello, i want to see if i forwarded the port correctly, but my friend is not online. Can i use a VPN and try to connect to my ip?

[analog sequoia]

Does anyone know how to do a dedicated server of version 367101?

[clear lagoon]

yes, but why?

[analog sequoia]

I want to make a server with friends and we all have that version

[clear lagoon]

and is there a specific reason you don't want to update your game?

[analog sequoia]

don't ask

[clear lagoon]

I just did

[noble valve]

ill ask to, why do you want that version ;)

[clear lagoon]

🤷‍♀️ if you don't want to answer you can update your game to the latest version

or find a volunteer who wants to help you anyway 👀

[analog sequoia]

Come on, you don't want to tell me

[chrome pumice]

I'm going to guess somebody doesn't want to pay and thats the only version they can find for free.

[clear lagoon]

Nope.

[analog sequoia]

Ok

[clear lagoon]

This assumption is exactly why

[noble valve]

but a different question, is it possible to lock your game version? i do not want to update everything all the time

besides disabling auto update

[clear lagoon]

This is the only thing I know of.

[regal marsh]

if you manage to make the game start from outside of steam
you can make the manifest file read only to prevent updating

no idea if it works for sf

[noble valve]

well, ill just disable auto updating then

[regal marsh]

thats not how that works

[clear lagoon]

problem with this is you don't have a steam or epic ID if you launch without the launcher. meaning you get a random user ID, and therefore you get a new pawn/pioneer whenever you load the game

[regal marsh]

its still gonna show you have to update

[regal marsh]

I mean you still have steam running, but you cant start it from steam

because it says it needs update

[noble valve]

even if you use the launch command instead of the steam button?

[regal marsh]

but if you can start over .exe then it might work

[clear lagoon]

hmmm.... can always try

[regal marsh]

thats what I mean

[noble valve]

cool, thank you guys

[regal marsh]

well maybe disabling the the autoupdate inside steam might also do that
but not sure if you can trust it

otherwise have to find manifest file and set read only and then it will fail to update

something you might do for a game like skyrim

[regal marsh]

then I wonder
how does he have a "free game" and connect to a normal steamcmd server 😄
does that even work, or does the server not verify
( or maybe it does not work and he does not know that yet...not paying, more trouble, how it should be 😄 )

back in nonsteam cs, you also needed nonsteam server

[clear lagoon]

I have no clue what, if any, authentication the server performs. I've never tried joining a server without an active steam session

I just don't want to waste my time on people who want to do copyright infringement against an indie game studio. the game's cheap for the amount of playtime most people would get out of it

[regal marsh]

also lived in a country with no money some time ago
but yeah I understand 🤣

so it does not check any ids

so yeah, just dont expect support 😄 (disadvantages to not paying, no auto updates, trouble with mp, similar)

[clear lagoon]

probably because EOS doesn't know what games are owned by a steam ID

primary backend is EOS after all

[regal marsh]

yeah

[analog sequoia]

Within the game there is the option to log in with Epic and Steam

[regal marsh]

wow

[clear lagoon]

Luisfy/MoP: just purely informational, but.. #rules message

[analog sequoia]

Oh

I just read it

[regal marsh]

literally always with such version of the copy
never expect to get support

[unborn elk]

anyone else have this issue aftewr their game crashed??

according to the host website and consol eits online but im unable to find it or join it after my game suddenly crashed

[round echo]

gotta reboot the server

[unborn elk]

i had the guy who owns the server reboot it 3 times ive even restarted my game and pc, even reinstalled the game

[vernal flame]

anyone know how i can optimise cpu usage from my vps, with one SF server running, and one person on the server (on a fresh save) its always sitting on 50%+ cpu usage.

vps specs
8 core AMD CPU
32GB Ram
400gb Storage

[clear lagoon]

Delete it from the server manager and add the ip/port again

[clear lagoon]

Most things you do to reduce cpu usage will also reduce the quality of the game experience. I think lowering the target tick rate would be the easiest and most effective method

[vernal flame]

might sound dumb but how would one do that

[clear lagoon]

The wiki has an article on how to configure that

[vernal flame]

will take a look now, cheers

[clear lagoon]

[sly cove]

I'm getting random kicks/timeouts. The kick message says everything is running at 30 TPS. I'm running an i9-14900k, 128GB of DDR5, and an NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSD. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Max players: 3 (at the same time)
No packet drops. It's also happening when connecting to the local IP.

Could it be that I set the server to "Ultra Network Performance"?

[clear lagoon]

is that windows or linux server?

[sly cove]

Ubuntu 22.04

[clear lagoon]

do all players experience this or just you?

do you all drop simultaneously?

[sly cove]

All players at the same time. When this is happening everything freezes and you can't access anything or equip anything

[clear lagoon]

what firewall, if any, do you have on the ubuntu server?

[sly cove]

Also the server average tps says "30"

[sly cove]

Well, I thought this was the issue. So I disabled everything, and it's still happening. 🤷‍♂️

The issue isn't consistent; it's random. Sometimes it's after two hours of the server restart; sometimes, it's after 18 hours. 🤷‍♂️

[clear lagoon]

can you keep pinging the server while playing and see if it remains reachable the instant players drop? i.e. no packet loss around that time

[sly cove]

I will try to keep pinging the server from a VPS to my home hosted server (where the server is hosted).

[clear lagoon]

not the WAN IP, that'll remain reachable even if the server is shut off. via local IP. since you say the issue also occurs when connected from in the LAN the server is hosted in, my only guess right now is that either the ethernet adapter freezes or you have some physical hardware that's failing between the server and the edge router

also your hardware is really new and ubuntu 22 is kinda old so you may have better drivers on a newer version

[sly cove]

Well, everything between my PC and the server is connected with fiber optics. I hope it's not one of the cables or connectors.

[clear lagoon]

the fibers should be intact if you didn't exceed the max bend radius during installation and they came pre-terminated 👀

if you have a fiber switch you can probably live monitor the port status so might as well do that too

[sly cove]

Yes, I will monitor that as well

hi

👋

setted up a server, saved a blueprint and the save keep crashing, any recommendations?

[clear lagoon]

use the satisfactory calculator interactive map to delete the blueprint structures you placed that are causing the crashes

[peak mural]

i didnt placed it yet, i just saved

so i should delete the blueprint maker?

[clear lagoon]

you crash whenever you click save? or are you no longer able to log in after saving?

[peak mural]

i clicked save on the blueprint maker and the game crashed

[clear lagoon]

you can try to delete the blueprint from your server's blueprints directory. if that doesn't help, load an older auto save

[peak mural]

whwre do i find them?

yeah the autosave (funny enough they like 5 minutes apart) also kills the game, i dont wanna load a 2 day old save

[clear lagoon]

it's in the SaveGames/blueprints folder

SaveGames/blueprints/session-name-here/

[peak mural]

thanks

so no blueprints on servers?

[clear lagoon]

did you happen to save your blueprint while the server was auto-saving?

running multiple save actions at the same time causes issues

[peak mural]

i do not remember, ill take a look next time

thank you :D

[clear lagoon]

otherwise, try clearing the blueprint designer. if anything is left behind it's somehow not being picked up by the designer and you need to fix the blueprint

like the walls here #dedicated-servers message

[peak mural]

na it wasnt that complicated

just a 6 assembly thing

[regal marsh]

its mainly the frequency of single core that might limit it
most VPS have pretty low and they are also mostly shared CPUs (someobody else might use your CPU)
I know Vultr High Frequency VPS is the best single core I saw (3.79 GHz Intel)
not cheap, but I absolutely loved it and their control panel and super snappy and everything, until I got a Hetzner dedicated
(the only one that could host Empires Mod source game with 55+ players which is very single core game, but 4 cores windows as it can somewhat use them in windows in that game [just for networking I think])

[vernal flame]

dont believe mine is shared, however im using the same vps hoster as someone i spoke to the other day, his SF servers sit lower than 2% all the time

[regal marsh]

The network quality might probably also affect it

and the tickrate

[vernal flame]

currently all i did was limit the cpu, i havent pinned it on any cores yet, but i probably should, im still somewhat new to all this

tickrate i dropped to 20

[regal marsh]

limit the CPU?

dont see how could anyone have 2% with any players on (unless many many many cores and usage merged for all cores)

when nobody is on and its paused, yeah

hejj guys/girls, so i am renting out a Satisfactory server and me the and staff have been trying to solve an issue i have.
it is the following the server appears to be online in TCadmin, but in the Server Manager in the game it states its offline, the resolve for this seemed so far the reset the dedicated server.

before we judge the hosting company, i am their first Satisfactory renter and they been helping me non stop 🙂

[dusty vortex]

1. the games port 7777 on TCP and UDP, so check thats all good with them.

2. if the port are correct, has someone claimed the server via the in game server manager?

3. has someone been able to join, and then after they leave they are unable to join again, even tho it looks like the server is running (this is a known issue mostly impacting windows based servers for which there is no 'fix' yet, other than moving to a linux based server)

[bright meadow]

its the 3rd option

windows and nein

[chrome pumice]

I don't think so.

asking them now, if its able to swap to linux to double check

[dusty vortex]

its the best bet at the moment, sadly there is a known (known by the community, but not yet acknowledged by the devs) issue with some windows based servers.
does not impact all, but enough to cause a lot of headaches for people.

[bright meadow]

i have had it running now for about 30 hours, and i only pay 12 bucks a month so i cant complain about the service i been getting.

[dusty vortex]

they sound willing to engage and help, you cant ask much more from a service 🙂

[bright meadow]

exactly, i would pay extra for the service

[dusty vortex]

and in this issue, its not their fault, nor might they be aware, as its not yet formally acknowledged, so they might only become aware of it they were checking the satisfactory discord or QA forum.

[bright meadow]

i made them aware of it

thank you for the assistance

[dusty vortex]

good luck and god speed!

[knotty meadow]

Just an update if you are interested. my best guess is that this crash happens if save has advanced settings enabled and another player changes smth in advanced settings while I was offline. 2 other players got same exact crash after I changed it and found out from one of them that they been changing these setting. good thing that save was for stress testing only. we start new game tonight. wish us good luck to not get same crash again 😄

How to upload a map from local pc to the dedi server?

(folders=)

[vital cypress]

Alright, I'm tossing the towel in and need some help. So before 1.0 release, my ds worked just fine. I know the port requirements changed and I've udpated my port forwarding and security policies accordinly. However, I am still unable to see the server on the WAN side. LAN side works fine. Since I've had other servers running on this dedicated Windows machine in the past, I decided to reset the PC and start from scratch in hopes that would resolve the issue. The issue I seem to be facing is when I fire up the ds, it doesn't seem to reach out to the Satisfactory servers. I followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NIYZHxYcas and everything goes exactly as expected until I fire up the server. In the log, you can see the server never tries to reach out to the WAN side. I have verified that TCP 7777 is bound to 0.0.0.0.

Any help/ideas is much appreciated.

[topaz scarab]

why would it
server looks fine

[vital cypress]

But it is unable to be seen from the WAN side as the server shows offline. But when I connected to the LAN IP, it comes up. I don't see any traffic in the firewall logs for the ds reaching out (not sure if there should be), I do see logs coming in though for TCP port 7777 and have verified that both the security policy and NAT policy are being hit correctly. It's almost like the ds is receiving the traffic but not doing anything with it. The ds has it's local firewall inbound policies created as well. I also disabled it's firewall for troubleshooting but still no luck

[topaz scarab]

sounds like it's your port forwarding then, no

[vital cypress]

I've verified through the firewall logs that port forwarding is working and I see the traffic reaching the ds on port 7777

[topaz scarab]

when you say receiving the traffic but not doing anything with it,

you're not playing on the same box, are you

[vital cypress]

No. This is a dedicated machine just for the Satisfactory ds

[topaz scarab]

well that's a new one

[unborn shard]

Can we mod yet

[topaz scarab]

ask the modding discord

so you're getting all the LogNet: NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from: , but that's it

you chopped your log pretty hard, so i'm only guessing

[vital cypress]

And before 1.0, the server worked just fine and was able to be seen from the WAN and LAN side. The only thing that I can tell is different is the port requirements. So in the firewall, which is a Palo Alto firewall, I added in both TCP-7777 and UDP-7777 to the applicable security policies and NAT policies. Since it's a enterprise grade firewall, Palo Alto doesn't have a dedicated 'Port Forwarding' section, so you have to build out specifically what you want to happen. For T-Shoot purposes, let's just say it's setup correctly....I may or may not work with Palo Alto firewalls on a daily basis for work ;)...lol

[vital cypress]

No, there are no LogNet in the log file. What I shared is all that comes out of the cli

Or LogHttp

[topaz scarab]

so when i knock on mine on both tcp/udp, it writes that accepting connection line

and a warning/error when trying to http the https

[crisp nacelle]

I'm hosting a server locally using the Steam Dedicated Server app, default settings. but for somereason when ANYBODY disconnects at any point, it'll auto-save which is good, BUT it also disconnects the server completely and I have to restart it, anybody know why that's happening or how to fix it?

[topaz scarab]

known issue, upvote https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e08561772a987f4a8a9d67

or could've scrolled up half a page

[chrome pumice]

This log looks correct. The server doesn't reach out to anything. It just need you to hit it. It doesn't look like any connections are hitting based on these logs.

[quick mist]

Thanks for the update- interesting find; I'd suggest you post that with your crash logs on the QA site if you've not already!

[vital cypress]

Thanks for verifying the ds does not reach out. I did a packet capture for traffic going to the ds and I do see traffic on port 7777 reaching the ds.

[vital cypress]

Reading through this, it doesn't seem like the same issue. My ds is on a dedicated Windows machine and is actively listening on port 7777 bound to 0.0.0.0

[peak mural]

any workaround?

or potential date of a fix?

i got and expected these errors in the experimental or early access, but the blueprint designer was completly fine for me then xD

[round echo]

they really messed up the dedicated servers for 1.0

[peak mural]

well, it was a big patch

can i save them on a local instance and port it to the server game?

[inner sail]

There are many ways in which I am an idiot, and this may be yet another example.

but Saved Saved\World\Saved\SaveGames\ doesn't seem to exist for me dedicated server.
It's WORKING and the server stops and starts and remembers everything just fine, but I can't actually seem to locate where the savefile is.

[junior tapir]

Do you have a config directory

[inner sail]

yes

[junior tapir]

It’s in there navigate to thru the same factory game saved save games something like that

Blueprints are also there

[inner sail]

yeah, I'm not seeing it.

config just has crashreport

[junior tapir]

Have you started a game yet

[inner sail]

oh yes, quite far into it, actually

and I just stopped it to copy over my blueprints, but can't find it

I restarted it to make sure it's still "saving" and it picked up right where I shut it down

so those saves are SOMEWHER

lol

[junior tapir]

Well an easy thing if you just need the save is to do it from the server manager but I get wanting to find the folder

You can download and load saves from the server manager in game

[topaz scarab]

os?

[inner sail]

yeah, I copied a game save over earlier and it's gone now

(from that directory)

so it's putting them somewhere else I think

[junior tapir]

It doesn’t download to that directory

It goes to your local machine

[inner sail]

yes

[junior tapir]

Is server your own setup or third party provider

[inner sail]

it's local

I set it up before 1.0 released

and then updated it.

the save I had copied from local is gone, and the new one that we started for 1.0 is not in that same location anymore.

When dismantling a building it causes a crash every time

we have narrowed it down to a specific merger

[junior tapir]

Stby

[junior tapir]

I assume you’re playing 1.0 vanilla, remove the merger using a save editor and then load the save back in (backup your saves)

[dense coyote]

yes vanilla

[junior tapir]

I assume you have hidden directories shown etc)

[junior tapir]

Use the SCIM I assume you know the save editor

[junior tapir]

Just confirming you’re running a dedicated server via server manager and not playing multiplayer via local machine

[inner sail]

I stood up a dedicated server, yes.

[dense coyote]

@junior tapir yea

[inner sail]

My friend isn't actually going to play, so I was looking for the save file so I can either add my blueprints, or possibly, copy the save to my home directory and just run in normal single player mode.

and yeah, I just turned on hidden files (though I didn't need them before)
It seems to have moved, or removed "SavedGames" entirely.

(but still working perfectly fine)

[junior tapir]

What happens when you force a save game from within the file manager in game

[dim gorge]

Hi all! I'm having some trouble with my dedicated server. Yesterday, I had it set up and everthing was running fine. However, after restarting my computer, I can only access the server on the host machine. I can't connect through public IP or even Local IP from a different machine. I can only connect by local IP through host machine.

[inner sail]

It downloaded just fine, not sure where it downloads them though.

[rapid spindle]

Did you set the server machine to use a static IP? The IP could've changed when you restarted.

[junior tapir]

It downloads to your local game save games @inner sail

[dim gorge]

Yeah, server machine has static local and public IP

I also run a media server off the same machine and it works fine from local or public IP

[junior tapir]

C:\Users[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames[YourSteamID]

[rapid spindle]

Maybe the firewall rules weren't saved?

[inner sail]

@junior tapir yeah.. that's where the server is saving things now. It's no longer saved under the dedicated server path, it's now saved under the user's appdata/local just like a local game.

but I found it.

thank you

weirdly, my blueprints should be showing up then (I would think)

that's where the blueprints are saved...

[dim gorge]

As far as I can tell, everything is opened properly. On Windows Defender, it shows Satisfactory Dedicated Server has both udp and tcp open on public and private networks

[inner sail]

%AppData%\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server

that's where the server is putting the saves now

[kindred ore]

and why one of them its tping me back like lag

[crisp nacelle]

so looking at the temp "solution" to the problem of leaving the game causing the server to disconnect. it suggests adding the server in server manager using your IP instead of, say localhost or 127.0.0.1. well when I try to add a server through my IP, it doesn't show up? i jsut get "This server appears to be offline". anybody know what I can do?

[topaz scarab]

nat loopback

[crisp nacelle]

not sure what u mean?

[dim gorge]

@rapid spindle found my solution. At some point, my wired internet connection got switched to a public connection rather than a private one, so i guess even though everything else was configured right, it still wouldn't allow that connection. Changing it back to private fixed the issue and i can now connect through public IP and other machinces

[rapid spindle]

windows being windows lol

[calm mist]

Anyone missing the player category on the map?? I cannot see anyone on the map now....

[clear lagoon]

you can't use your own WAN IP from your own local network to connect to your server unless you have NAT reflection on (if it's on another machine) or NAT hairpinning (if it's on the same machine) which are settings you usually would not have at all on a consumer grade router

gotta use internal IPs at home

[clear lagoon]

you can't fix this, it's a bug in the windows edition of the dedicated server software

it's up to CSS to fix

there's an issue when connection locally or from some LAN addresses that it kills the UDP listener when you leave

[icy leaf]

Hello, i have a problem with autopause, i am using the pterodactyl egg, and when i turn it off, it keeps turning on by itself, can anyone give me a hint on how to fix it?

[tender thicket]

how are u turning it off

[vivid parrot]

Hello. Where can i find dedicated servers crash logs?

[vivid parrot]

ctrl c works for me

[deep turret]

I thought about it a lot
I use a reverted nat setup for my server
and it worked well always
so it seems like it's very specific to windows

[thin cobalt]

Have a question - Have a server on GPortal. Other day I lost connection while playing. When I rejoined I rejoined basically as a new player. My old body is still in game. I could revert back to a save from when it happened (2 days ago) and I'm sure the people I'm playing with would be fine with it but is there a way to delete out the old reference of me?

[clear lagoon]

./FactoryGame/Saved/Crashes/

[clear lagoon]

you can kill it in-game or delete the pawn using SCIM

[vivid parrot]

Thank you. Got my server to just yeet itself. funny tho because it propertly closed itself and saved XD

[thin cobalt]

TYVM

[clear lagoon]

unless some windows experts figures out some fancy OS reason why the socket unbinds, it's probably a server bug specific to the windows build

[stone dagger]

hey trying to set up a server and Im struggling

I cant seem to get it work

[clear lagoon]

👀 what's that GUI it's running in

looks like the server's up and running though

[stone dagger]

how do i join

how does one join the server

[clear lagoon]

by default the server binds to port 7777 on IPv4. I have no clue what tool you are using to run this server though so not sure how you configured it

[clear lagoon]

you enter the server IP and port you configured in the server manager in your game

[stone dagger]

help

it's 0.0.0.0 :0

[clear lagoon]

that just means all interfaces..... again, what is this tool?

[topaz scarab]

no info, only help

[stone dagger]

its gui

[clear lagoon]

from where

your GUI can probably show the IP and port somewhere. I don't recognize the package at least

[clear lagoon]

IP is 89.35.49.40 and port is 7779

[stone dagger]

but why

[clear lagoon]

because you configured it that way, and also because I quickly tested it and it works

[stone dagger]

😠

[clear lagoon]

0.0.0.0 means "All IPs on this server"

and we can clearly see 89.35.49.40 is the only listed IP

and we see 7779 is set as "primary" port and satisfactory server by default uses the same port number for TCP and UDP

the default is normally 7777. looks like you or your package configured it to 7779

[stone dagger]

help

[clear lagoon]

looks like you managed to turn it back off between the time I tested it and just now 😅

[stone dagger]

how

[thorny dew]

Your startup params are wrong

It's binding to port 0 for some reason

Which isn't valid

[clear lagoon]

???

[thorny dew]

Where is that wat

[clear lagoon]

that screenshot #dedicated-servers message

[clear lagoon]

also I sent a https request and a lightweight query request at it

[clear lagoon]

I don't know how you managed to turn it off. I'm not the one at your computer 😅

[stone dagger]

you are hacking me :C

lightweight query is a secret word I never heard of

[thorny dew]

Man the logging is aids

Yeah I see it

[stone dagger]

you send data to me 😠

[clear lagoon]

okay fine, good luck 😛

[topaz scarab]

😂

[stone dagger]

no plss help me

[clear lagoon]

so you're telling me you managed to install what looks like pterodactyl and the satisfactory server into it and you have no clue what you're doing?

and this on a server directly on IPv4 WAN?

[topaz scarab]

gonna have a hard time playing the game lmao

[clear lagoon]

how exactly did you get to this point?

[stone dagger]

🫠

I think I make port 7777 work 😄

halp

no work ;c

[clear lagoon]

can you send me screenshot from the console, startup and the settings tabs ?

[stone dagger]

yes

one min

[stone dagger]

;c

[clear lagoon]

... settings tab?

[stone dagger]

what settings tab

[clear lagoon]

what tabs do you have?

[clear lagoon]

on the console tab, to the left of the text output, do you have a server status indicator?

[clear lagoon]

the number in -Port=7779 needs to match the number you set in the network tab

so if you changed it to 7777 needs to be in both places

[stone dagger]

[clear lagoon]

anyway make sure is same number in both places. then hit restart

then you should be able to connect

[stone dagger]

z`

help

[clear lagoon]

what's the question now?

[stone dagger]

I need this

[clear lagoon]

.. can't you edit it literally in that screen?

[stone dagger]

the directory doesn't work

[topaz scarab]

i don't think the egg they're using has a port setting anyway, lena

[clear lagoon]

@stone dagger just set the port back to 7779 or whatever it was initially then

it was working earlier for like half a minute

[clear lagoon]

people using random old repackages of the server in shitty gui tools I know nothing about that don't even offer the bare minimum config. great XD

I should've just gone to bed lol

[stone dagger]

I'm sorry

[clear lagoon]

whatever you did here. put it back to 7779. restart the server. should work because it was working till you turned it back off or broke it

[stone dagger]

I think I prema broke it because I tried redoing the whole thing and just not working

[clear lagoon]

you can consult the wiki for a guide for an unmanaged manual installation of the satisfactory dedicated server https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers

alternatively if you are familiar with docker there is a docker image provided by wolveix

[clear lagoon]

I should've just started with what your name says 😂 best advice ever XD

[deep drift]

Hey folks, I am running a dedicated server and I discovered I can murder disconnected / resting players. I don't want this if possible. As well I'd be happy to disable pvp altogether. Does anyone know how this can be done, or if it's even possible? Enjoy your day! Stay productive!

[topaz scarab]

productive? it's saturday

[deep drift]

Don't FIcsit pioneers only ever take coffee breaks? 😄

[topaz scarab]

union mandated

but no, i don't there are any pvp settings

[deep drift]

Google certainly has been helpless on this topic 😦

[clear lagoon]

combat is actor interaction so it's part of the game-specific blueprint. satisfactory doesn't provide any settings in this regard for pvp. you can only change the hostility for creatures

nothing special to see in GetServerOptions either

in AvancedGameSettings you have god mode

[topaz scarab]

enabling that disables achievements if i remember correctly

[clear lagoon]

God Mode: Grants invincibility from every damage source except the World border which will still kill you.

[clear lagoon]

yes, all AGS disables achievements

[clear lagoon]

if you're interested in the feature I strongly recommend making a suggestion in the satisfactory QA site, which is the primary locations that developers look at. https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

[deep turret]

that's what I meant
also specific Windows bugs are not hard to find at all
there are simply common or even official work arounds usually

the usual "it's a feature "

[stoic stream]

what ist his? This is a nice interface

[wide crystal]

Hello everyone, the dedicated server im hosting on my own hardware works, but my friends cant join anymore for some reason. The only thing I've done is just disconnect the HDD (which the server is saved to) from my pc when I was moving files. Didn't move the server file location or anything of that matter. Data log only shows my IP being connected to as well.

[chrome pumice]

It probably tried to save and couldn't so its in a crashed state.

[wide crystal]

oh, i moved files before starting up any apps

if its in a crashed state, does that interfere with others connecting to the server? On my end, the save file and server app is fine. For some reason my friend can't join anymore.

[chrome pumice]

Are you sure? Cause the game save location is not in the same place as ther server files.

[kind cloud]

Hi guys, new here. I have set up (semi-successfully) a dedicated server for the game on my old PC running as a server. I have set up port forwarding on my router and my friends can externally connect. I can also connect using my public IP, however, I cannot connect using my local IP (which I have statically assigned to the server). I can ping the server local IP in cmd, and can see the port is open in the firewall using test-netconnection in powershell, but in satisfactory, there is no response. Any ideas?

[chrome pumice]

Should be noting stoping you from using the local ip unless you are typing something in wrong.

[kind cloud]

this is my thought exactly 🙃

[wide crystal]

yeah i was only moving video files, and also satisfactory and the server files themselves are within the same HDD, but weren't touched at all

[chrome pumice]

Should have max out the iops of the HDD and the server locked up?

[chrome pumice]

Yeah I mean all when you connect from the external ip your router converts that to the internal ip so if external works nothing should be stopping internal. Unless you have some weird router setting that block internal connections. This would not be a default setting so.

[wide crystal]

iops? As for the server, i don't think it's locked up as I'm able to access and play in it.

[chrome pumice]

iops is the term for disk read/write bandwidth. So it works for you internaly but not externaly after the file moves?

[kind cloud]

It is so aggrivating - like you say everything looks like it should work. I was hoping someone here may have had a similar issue at some point 😂

[wide crystal]

Oh, then yes that seems to be correct

For my friend, he claims that the server is not authenticated

[chrome pumice]

Have you tried so restart the server and see if it allows external connections again? Thats kind of weird it would stop allowing external connections.

[wide crystal]

Yes, I've restarted the server several times, with the datalog only giving accepted connections from my IP only

[tiny pike]

hey, i have a question im playing with a friend on a dedicated server, and im getting weird "lagging" in a hypertube my charaketer teleports forward and backwards, however my friend not. the dedicated server is not hosted on our pc's.

[wide crystal]

I do notice something that's off is that the last 5 numbers value after the colon of my IP (e.g. 0.0.0.0:02930) is different than what I've seen before

[dense coyote]

So after more research whenever we try and place a blueprint with a blender in it the whole server crashes and the client of the person who places it also crashes

[earnest gyro]

Hey,
can someone help me? Im trying to create a satisfactory server behind a traefik reverse proxy. I got it running without it first. Now when i want to add the server i get the error "Unsupported Response Content-Type received from the Server API.", which makes sense because trying the curl from the docs i get a 404 back. Both, satisfactory and traefik, are running in docker, in the same network. I have defined 2 endpoints for satisfactory:
satisfactory-udp:
address: ":7777/udp"
satisfactory-tcp:
address: ":7777/tcp"
Does anyone have any tips?

[untold finch]

hmm.. seems I can crash the server by trying to place block signals on my railway.. 3rd time tonight (although, I've placed a decent amount without crashing it, there's def sommat risky about when it renders the blue hologram.. can lead to big kaboom)

log for crash (if it's helpful) .. https://pastebin.com/Ub42q29q

[sly kayak]

Does anyone know how to resolve an endless connect lost popup loop when trying to authenticate a local dedicated server? I already confirmed my ports are open on the router and firewall.

[karmic wedge]

Hey there!
We have a dedicated server where one of the clients was constantly experiencing lag due to system and map not loading icons/player location.
Client exited the server, tried to reconnect and got constant timeouts. Eventually client got the unity crash screen with this error:
Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x000001c240e7a06c
Has anyone else encountered this? There were multiple clients online, none were experiencing the same issue

[karmic wedge]

Even another client on the same LAN network connected to the server

[raw hatch]

An update to my saga, after doing both of these fixes, my issues seem to be resolved. Operations are no longer taking seconds to complete, they are back to fractions of a second.

[vocal peak]

So I'm using AMP to create a dedicated satisfactory server. It comes up and I can connect to it and set the admin password, but when I try to create a game it crashes.

[vocal peak]

I'm trying to find crashlogs and not having any luck

[topaz scarab]

amp support is that way ->
try a different cpu tho

[topaz scarab]

how olds your traefik install
i'm seeing some old issues about traefik overwriting content type headers

[nimble wraith]

Hey gamers 👀 Anyone got a solid list of the config options the satis server can take? I know the default configs are pretty empty, but theres a lot thats changeable outside of the server manager 😅 Lookin to spice some things up

Found a few odd forums/sheets, just figured id ask here incase someone in the community has a megalist haha

[thorny dew]

Wiki has a whole page

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

[topaz scarab]

feel free to add to it too

[nimble wraith]

wowza alright im blind xD Thanks!

[frigid vapor]

anyone know what this means, server said it was about to auto restart and never did and went and looked and this was in the console?

[topaz scarab]

i've been getting the same
it used to work fine

[stone dagger]

Thanks for the amazing help yesterday Lena but I finally fixed it only took 8 hours yey 🥺🙏❤️❤️

[stone dagger]

If you would like I can give you some of my server resources for you to run 🥺 it's a 7800X3D with 16 GB of ram as your resources and I apologize for the brainrot behavior yesterday because every time I do server stuff I just go Patrick for some unknown reason

As for server location I'm unsure I can make it work since I have 2 deticated ports

This is ofc if you'd like to have the server it's always running 24/7 with UPS and anti DDOS and NeoProtect 👍

I'll import Game4Free later but that's another Patrick for another month moment as I'm sure I'll lose my last 2 braincells just thinking about it

[topaz scarab]

how are you suddenly so articulate

glad it works

[kind cloud]

Asking this again because I am stumped 😂

I have set up (semi-successfully) a dedicated server for the game on my old PC running as a server. I have set up port forwarding on my router and my friends can externally connect. I can also connect using my public IP, however, I cannot connect using my local IP (which I have statically assigned to the server). I can ping the server local IP in cmd, and can see the port is open in the firewall using test-netconnection in powershell, but in satisfactory, there is no response. Any ideas?

[topaz scarab]

does the server log your connection attempts from lan

[kind cloud]

No, when i run test-netconnection on the port, or browse to it in chrome, i can see the server logs the attempt, but in game, no response

it just says "server name pending, this server appears to be offline", so no life

[uneven crane]

your system and the server system are they on Wi-Fi or hard line? if Wi-Fi do you have a 2.4 and 5 ghz network?

[topaz scarab]

lmao how is that relevant

well if tcp gets through but not udp, double check your fw ig

[uneven crane]

they could be using different VLANs as it were

[kind cloud]

Both hard line, no WiFi

Firewalls double checked, and I did a hailmary test and completely disable both endpoint and server firewall but to no avail

[topaz scarab]

anyone who knows what a vlan is prob doesn't need help here

[kind cloud]

I also have nord vpn installed, but have set up split tunelling for it

(and have tried turning it off completely)

[uneven crane]

in your NordVPN setting>Connection is "Stay Invisible On LAN" on or off and "Allow remote access while connected to VPN" on or off? I have had issues myself with some local stuff relating to those settings before

[kind cloud]

both are currently off

[uneven crane]

try turning on the allow remote access and that might let the traffic flow.

[kind cloud]

no luck

but

just tried pinging the endpoint from the server, and i can't ping it

[uneven crane]

is your VPN currently connected?

[kind cloud]

it is now, but I've been trying everything with it both connected, and disconnected

[uneven crane]

ok, wanted to ask because sometimes Nord can act a little weird when connected in my experience with LAN networks but having tried with disconnected/connected Im not too sure and I dont think nord is blocking it either

[kind cloud]

okay so when i turn my vpn off, I can't connect using my public IP, which makes sense, but is just some extra info 😂

[uneven crane]

how is your port forward setup? it obviously works when connecting from external. did you port forward all 3 ports it uses?

[kind cloud]

i've just set 7777 for internal and external ports for udp/tcp

[topaz scarab]

have you poked at network adapter priority order any

[quick mist]

"Three"? Two ports my guy.

(or gal or other)

[topaz scarab]

one port

[quick mist]

Two

[topaz scarab]

two?

[quick mist]

TCP and UDP are different ports.

That's why you need to forward them both

[kind cloud]

what do you mean?

[uneven crane]

7777 is the primary but theres 2 secondaries being 15777 and 15000

[topaz scarab]

different socket

[quick mist]

"both", as, in, "two of them"

[topaz scarab]

same port

[quick mist]

You are incorrect

[quick mist]

Things that are not the same, partial list:

• Port
• Port number

7777 is the same as 7777, but TCP/777 is not the same as UDP/7777

[topaz scarab]

never seen anyone differentiate it like that but ok

[uneven crane]

ok excuse me for not being specific enough when referring to port numbers over protocols but I set for both

[quick mist]

My point is that 15777 and 15000 are no longer relevant

regardless of the protocol

[kind cloud]

Either way, I have it set for TCP/UDP on 7777 😁

[quick mist]

as it should be

[kind cloud]

and external connections are working okay, just not the one that is like 5m away 😂

[topaz scarab]

so do elaborate, if you don't mind

[quick mist]

What's particularly wild is that your ask is the opposite of the one people usually have, wanting to not use the LAN address internally. It's baffling that you can't.

[kind cloud]

I know, I work with infra engineers so its part of my work, and my brother has a load of netork experience, we were sat for a couple of hours the other night trying to figure it out to no avail 😂

[quick mist]

Sure!

TCP and UDP are two entirely different protocols of the TCP/IP protocol suite. They communicate with entirely different methodologies and packet encapsulations. Because they are part of the same suite, they happen to use the same range of port numbers to attach to when listening for connections, but a TCP socket listening on Port 7777 will neither care about, notice, nor responde to any UDP traffic, even if it is directed to UDP port 7777, becuase it's a different port.

[topaz scarab]

i know that much

[quick mist]

TCP and UDP may as well be AM and FM. An AM radio won't know what to do with an FM signal and vice-verse even though they're both radio.

[topaz scarab]

more just the semantics around port vs port number

[quick mist]

When working in a technical context, semantics matter

[vale parrot]

The fun part is, if you can connect to it externally, the router doing the NAT is actually reaching the server over the internal network. If your computer is in the same layer2 network as your server, then something, somewhere is intentionally blocking the connection on either the server or computer, while you router is allowed at the same time.

[topaz scarab]

and that was my question

[quick mist]

I'm not trying to be a jerkwad about it, but they are different ports and neglecting one of them is a common enough issue that it's important to be specifically accurate when troubleshooting server connectivity.

[topaz scarab]

no, i want to understand, that's why i'm asking

you can skip the basics tho

[quick mist]

I am always in favor of learning 😄

[kind cloud]

which is wild, I've tried to go completely naked connection - no server firewall, no endpoint firewall, no vpn and still nuffin. Ping works and i can reach the port too 😂 maybe I just blame my ISP

[vale parrot]

So all L2 connections to the server work, except for the satisfactory server?

[topaz scarab]

A port at the software level is identified for each transport protocol and address combination by the port number assigned to it.
thanks wikipedia

[kind cloud]

Sorry, what do you mean by L2 connection?

[vale parrot]

Layer2, as in networking. Local traffic in the same subnet. From your PC to the server machine, can you do everything?

[quick mist]

Layer 2, it's a network stack thing. I am presuming OSI rather than DOD model

[kind cloud]

Yes, I have a mapped drive set up which all works fine, and then other than that, i can ping the port in powershell. Any other tests you'd recommend?

[quick mist]

You can try my toolkit to test both ports separately, perhaps

you can then test both LAN and WAN address pathing

https://github.com/dopeghoti/SF-Tools

It does more than just a 'ping' on the ports, it actually speaks the Satisfactory API protocols on both ports.

[vale parrot]

Just for sanity, whats the servers internal IP and what is your computers internal IP?

[kind cloud]

192.168.1.200 (static, server)

what's the topology like between the two hosts?

[kind cloud]

just downloading something to run python in

[quick mist]

same segment?

I presume they're on the same /24 subnet

[kind cloud]

Sorry I'm not sure I know what you mean?

[quick mist]

e. g. Ethernet on both hosts to the same switch/hub? One and not the other talking wirelessly?

[kind cloud]

yes, one directly to the hub sat next to it, and one through ethernet power adapter, so effectively yes, both direct

[quick mist]

Ethernet power adapters are magical when they work (:

(I use some too, yay apartment life)

Ok, again for sanity, can you do a traceroute from the computer and from the server to something on the internet and see if there are any differences in the first few hops?

If windows, command is 'tracert'

[kind cloud]

there are indeed differences

[quick mist]

(Bear in mind that traceroute uses ICMP which is different from both TCP and UDP but can still be a useful diagnostic (: )

[vale parrot]

Yeah Just to check for router in between 😉

[kind cloud]

i did tracert google.com
PC - 1 hop
Server 13 hops

[quick mist]

try a trace from your PC to your server actually.

hopefully you'll see one or at most two hops.

[kind cloud]

1 hop 3ms

[quick mist]

as it should be.

[vale parrot]

All good there too then!

[quick mist]

but still just more mystifying that you can't connect directly o.O

[kind cloud]

I'm somewhat relieved and annoyed simultaneously that it wasn't just me being and idiot and there was a really simple 😂

[vale parrot]

So I'm not really up to speed with latest Satisfactory server, is there any chance the listen address is configure to you external IP?

[quick mist]

Current version should bind to all interfaces' TCP and UDP port.
