dedicated-servers

[stone crest]

yes i do and the IP is the machines public ip

[dusty vortex]

dont use the public ip, use the local ip

[clear lagoon]

Is the server directly connected to WAN without a firewall or router?

[dusty vortex]

use the IP that the network adaptor on the server sees

[stone crest]

how am i gonna login using the local ip if im not on the same network tho..

[clear lagoon]

you can only bind to IPv4 addresses that show up in this command:

ip -4 a | grep inet | awk '{ print $2; }'

[dusty vortex]

there you have it

the private (local) ip

[clear lagoon]

Network Address Translation or NAT will solve this for you. Your router takes on the task of translating packets to the WAN IP to the LAN address.

[dusty vortex]

try with the 10. ip

[stone crest]

yeah its working now

is this satisfactory related?

how come i can use public ip for other games?

n could use it before

im confused on how this works

[clear lagoon]

So your server will listen on 10.0.0.31
People outside the network connect to <WAN IP>
You configure port forwarding on the edge router that tells it "port 7777 TCP goes to 10.0.0.31 port 7777" and same for UDP

[dusty vortex]

no, that rule applies to ANY application that may use networks.

[stone crest]

ahhh ok i see now

ill see if the world generation works now

welp

[ancient bison]

From what I'm aware of, it doesn't support ARM machines

[stone crest]

exact same error:(

[hidden forge]

@stone crest A1 is arm, DS is x86 only. are you running any translation?

[stone crest]

yeah im using box86

[ancient bison]

Yeah, the dedicated server won't work on ARM architecture

[stone crest]

is that why?

[ancient bison]

Even using box86

[clear lagoon]

what error are you seeing. did you set your -multihome=10.0.0.31 ?

[stone crest]

ah damn

[clear lagoon]

oh wait this is emulated?

[stone crest]

ye

[ancient bison]

Hopefully they'll support it later

[stone crest]

sad

[ancient bison]

So can't use the free oracle VPS

☹️

[clear lagoon]

does it print a backtrace?

[brittle karma]

My brother keeps getting this message and I have no idea how to fix.

[stone crest]

no idea how to read that crash report especially on that big ass ugly default terminal, where am i supposed to look?

[brittle karma]

any help is appreciated.

[dusty vortex]

if your VPS is a ARM based VPS, then its well known that it does not work on ARM based CPU's so continuing to troubleshoot this would be a 'waste' of time.

[clear lagoon]

it should be placed right underneath the Critical Error line

[clear lagoon]

wouldn't that depend entirely on the emulator used?

[clear lagoon]

While he's doing specific things in-game?

[dusty vortex]

in theory, yes... i beleive many have tried using different emulators but all have struggled, least so what i have read in here, i have not personally attempted going down this path.

[brittle karma]

Everytime he tries to join the server

[stone crest]

ah

[ancient bison]

you won't have any luck with it

[clear lagoon]

Is your server in your LAN? Is your brother connecting from the same LAN or from the internet?

[stone crest]

ill send u the pastebin in dms since this wont let me send links

[brittle karma]

internet

[clear lagoon]

looks like a memory layouting or allocation issue at Eloping so that emulator's definitely out

[clear lagoon]

Did you configure the firewall and port forwarding as described on the wiki?

i.e. these two ports:

• Port 7777 TCP
• Port 7777 UDP

[cinder solar]

yea

[brittle karma]

No, I paid for a server and it gave me the ip and port to use.

[clear lagoon]

If you are using a paid service for your Satisfactory Dedicated Server, please contact the support team that you are paying for for assistance

[brittle karma]

ok

[clear lagoon]

looks like there are some emulators that worked on U8 that crash on creation of conveyor actors in 1.0

shame 😛

[clear lagoon]

👀

disappearing message

[split marsh]

figured it out :b

[latent raven]

Not even on the Mac M2? I heard the game runs there, so I would be surprised if the server doesnt.

[ancient bison]

Haven't tried it on the Mac 🤷‍♂️

But from what I've seen and tested, I don't have high hopes

[latent raven]

Yeah, iirc it was also advised to join another game, so the mac can focus on gpu and doesnt need as much cpu.

[tulip glacier]

any way to disable the damage out of map bounds?

[dusty vortex]

If I understood correctly the server requires certain CPU instruction sets, I seen AVX or AVX2 as being required which is not implemented within most arm based CPUs.
(Not something I've look at or read about recently, just something I've seen before and recalling from memory -so don't quote me on it).

It's something along them lines tho. (From my limited understanding)
Most of the arm based software development I've done has been on much lower spec arm based CPUs which certainly do not have these instructions. I've yet to write an OS for modern based arm chips

[clear lagoon]

I don't think Rosetta implements avx/avx2 emulation

so if satisfactory requires those instruction sets you just can't run it ig

I just did the most cursed thing to get satisfactory-calculator to always load my latest save

[timid flame]

Hey all, I'm trying to up the tick rate on my dedicated server. I followed the wiki guide but when I rebooted the server it reverted my changes to engine.ini

any suggestions?

[clear lagoon]

Stop server before editing the file

start server after saving changes

the server flushes config on exit

[timid flame]

derp

yep that worked! that's what I get for treating it like a network device lol

[karmic merlin]

how is server performance for mega factories now looking, compared to single player?

[thorny sinew]

Anyone happen to have any issues with copying blueprints to a dedicated server?

I have been trying, but once I copy them over, the server won't start

[clear lagoon]

Can you provide the logs for the failed startup?

[thorny sinew]

I can once I am home. At work at the moment 😏

[thorny sinew]

Actually, let me VPN in to home and give it a shot. Few secs.

[clear lagoon]

are you sure you should be doing this at work 👀

[thorny sinew]

Just working on a robotics sim that isn't super pressing. Otherwise kinda slow. 🙂

@clear lagoon, I get (code=exited, status=139) when looking a systemctl status

[grim mica]

What does the FactoryGame.log say?

[thorny sinew]

sec, checking

[clear lagoon]

It's your firewall. I setup a satisfactory server on a spare device, port forwarded port 7777/TCP and 7777/UDP with NAT reflection enabled on the forward, then added a floating Pass rule for port 7777 TCP/UDP on the LAN interface to the server IP, works fine both in-game and on the test script

gotta be a nonstandard firewall rule eating your packets

[thorny sinew]

Actually, it looks like I am getting permission denied errors....

one sec

[clear lagoon]

uploaded your files with a different user than the server is running as?

[thorny sinew]

Yeah, though I had did a chmod +777 on the blueprints folder thinking that would suffice.

let me change the owner and see if that works.

[proper swallow]

Hey, any plans regarding updating the query server info structure? It doesnt even provide the server info.

[grim mica]

I create a new simple BP, then uploaded the old blueprints with SCP then just chown * in the blueprints dir, that should be all you need to do

[thorny sinew]

This is the log: https://pastebin.com/WWnu3YW4

Or at least the tail end where it started to crash.

[grim mica]

Thats for the QA site, devs dont really read here often

[proper swallow]

I found a qa post (questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66ebebad772a987f4a8b9ef8) (no https part cause links are forbidden here), but there is no response at all.
(also thanks for the notice)

[grim mica]

You can link to a few sites here, questions is one of them - but the devs usually dont respond to the QA posts either, they evaluate them based on upvotes/popularity and may implement a form of the request if enough folks want it

[thorny sinew]

Damn, well I am a dummy. That's exactly what it was. Thanks

[thorny sinew]

Do you know if SCP works through Putty?

[grim mica]

I just use WinSCP, dont think putty itself has SCP client

[thorny sinew]

Ahh, gotcha. Cheers.

[topaz scarab]

pscp

[grim mica]

Oh there is pscp, yep ^^

[thorny sinew]

Sweet, I will check that out as well. Thank you.

[grim mica]

But its CLI meh.. WinSCP is lightweight and works perfectly with a nice FTP-style view

[thorny sinew]

And just uses the ssh login right? Don't have to setup another service or anything?

[grim mica]

Correct, just change the drop down to SCP, put in ip and whatever ssh creds you normally use and good to go - obvioulsy will have that users permission but if you are allowing root, it works with that too

[clear lagoon]

Don't permit root login on ssh

[frosty gale]

I guess no update this week

[surreal kestrel]

Were both your test devices on the same LAN/VLAN? I was mistaken yesterday, my client and server are on the same VLAN.

[clear lagoon]

Same LAN. I don't have VLANs in my home network

[surreal kestrel]

I'll test out that floating pass rule, thank you!

[clear lagoon]

not 100% sure that is your issue, since with my setup at least TCP fails as well without the floating rule

[thorny sinew]

Wait, I'm not supposed to use root for everything and have it so I can just login from anywhere? 😏

[clear lagoon]

also as expected for NAT reflection, the game server thinks the client's WAN IP is the LAN address of your NAT device:
LogNet: NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from: 10.0.0.1

[surreal kestrel]

In my server console, it was correctly displaying the local IP of my client device, not the interface IP of opnsense that the traffic came from

[clear lagoon]

so all packets are routed by the router as expected

[clear lagoon]

when you connected to the WAN IP? that makes no sense since the whole point of NAT reflection is that your router LAN interface is pretending to be your WAN IP for NAT purposes. i.e. if you connect to your WAN IP from the LAN your router eats the packet and rewrites it to the target LAN address with the router's LAN address as source IP

[grim mica]

Thats what I observed when I tested reflection with pfSense

[clear lagoon]

which one of ours observations are you referring to with "thats" in this context XD

[grim mica]

#dedicated-servers message

Gateway shows as source IP

[clear lagoon]

yep, makes sense when you read on what NAT reflection is supposed to do. it's also why everyone is apparently so loud about the performance implications since you're bouncing a bunch of packets that are going LAN->LAN through NAT on your router

(note: not really relevant for low-bandwidth applications like satisfactory)

[grim mica]

Certainly is extra steps to get to the same place, no idea why people use NAT reflection to be honest - truly just lazy design. I typically just use split DNS for scenarios like this and direct internal clients directly to the endpoint rather than trying to catch it all via the firewall

[clear lagoon]

hah same

[grim mica]

I'm sure it adds some latency, especially with UDP and possible out-of-order packets on occasion if the gateway is busy with other stuff

Back in the pre-O365/on-prem Exchange days NAT reflection was all over the damn place.. put a stop to that to alleviate the crappy firewalls we had at the time that could barely do 50-100Mbps of DPI throughput

[clear lagoon]

local DNS server serves internal IPs for subdomains that are hosted by systems in my LAN instead of the real records

[grim mica]

At home I just use the netbios name.. only running a linux box until they fix the offline when leaving issue - so just direct LAN Ip for now

[clear lagoon]

ehhhhh for portable devices I carry in and out with me that doesn't really work 😛

[grim mica]

I use RDP apps on my phone, just use the netbios for that too.. works fine

Dont really have much other portable aside from laptop that works the same as desktop, I guess SteamDeck but dont want to play Satis on that until they add actual controller support

[clear lagoon]

👀 I wish I could run a copy of satisfactory-calculator, all the downtime on it is getting annoying xD

[clear lagoon]

I would be scared of loading onto my server using a steam deck lol. it would probably die a miserable death

[grim mica]

Sadge, says no copy of the code should be run
https://github.com/AnthorNet/SC-InteractiveMap

[clear lagoon]

[grim mica]

This just.. amazing LOL

I swear it goes down way more often in the EU prime - I barely ever see it in US prime

[clear lagoon]

Funny thing is this violates Github TOS for public repositories

NAL not legal advice, but AFAICT legally the license for that repository is actually that statement plus Section 5 of the Github TOS which is a License Grant to Other Github Users

though that only allows them to put copies of it up on github xD

[clear lagoon]

👀 since when snutt look like that

[deft cedar]

Hi everyone, does someone know if there a way to disable the automatic 24h restart of the server? I'm using steamCMD but don't see a config file.. reason I want to disable this is because after restarting server pauses... even though the pause setting is set to disabled

[clear lagoon]

You can't, you probably don't want to, and it shouldn't pause when it does

are you sure it pauses after?

[covert trail]

@hidden forge So my router does not have a loopback setting or a NAT setting to change to allow the Ip address. what do i do then?

[clear lagoon]

connect to your server using the internal IP

[covert trail]

I am using the internal IP and it still not working

[clear lagoon]

Are the server and the game client on the same computer, or on different computers in the same network?

[covert trail]

different computer same network

it was working fine 2 days ago

[clear lagoon]

is the server running on Linux or on Windows? Is there a firewall installed on the server? If your server gets its IP via DHCP, did the internal IP change?

[covert trail]

Its on windows I have the fire wall setup for the ports and I check the internal IP address and It still tells me its the same. and my friends are able to join the server.

[clear lagoon]

what error are you seeing in the game client? is the server manager configured to connect to the internal IP and port?

is https:// <your internal server ip here> : <your satisfactory port here>/ reachable in your webbrowser?

[covert trail]

I dont get anything when i search in the webbrowser

and there are no errors in the server client

[clear lagoon]

so it's not saying offline or anything?

[covert trail]

in the game it is saying the server is offline on the computer i want to play on and needs to to be authenticated but in the server it is accepting my IP address.

and no window to authenticate comes up

[clear lagoon]

could you send a screenshot to clarify please?

[covert trail]

no problem

[hidden forge]

can you ping the internal ip?

[covert trail]

yep pinging gets the connection

[hidden forge]

firewall allows internal connections?

[clear lagoon]

Are you sure you didn't make a typo? can you Remove Server and add it again?

press the show button to make sure you enter the IP correctly

[covert trail]

ive been copying and pasting the IP address

[clear lagoon]

don't add spaces to the end of the IP address

[hidden forge]

just to check, ipv4 or ipv6?

[covert trail]

ipv4

still not working where would i go in the fire wall to allow the connection?

because there is not option on the router

[clear lagoon]

the router isn't between you and the server so it should be irrelevant, you're in the same local network right?

[covert trail]

yep both connected via LAN

[clear lagoon]

and your server console shows your connection attempts?

[covert trail]

Yes

its accepting my address

[clear lagoon]

can you share what you see in the server console?

[covert trail]

no problem

[clear lagoon]

can you, on your client, go to Start -> Settings -> Network & Internet, select your connection, (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and tell me what the Network profile is set to?

[covert trail]

public for network profile

[clear lagoon]

can you set it to Private, restart the satisfactory game client and then try to connect again?

[covert trail]

this is what is in the client

[hidden forge]

you don't need to censor internal/private IPs...

[covert trail]

still the same when i switch to private

[clear lagoon]

you said it worked two days ago, did you change anything on the computer since then?

[covert trail]

I dont think so

[clear lagoon]

is the network profile on the server also set to Private?

[covert trail]

how do I check that?

[clear lagoon]

same way as you just did on your computer, except on the server?

apart from that I'm out of ideas. I have no clue how WAN clients can connect and a LAN client can't

[covert trail]

yep it is still not showing the server is online even though its accepting my address

[hidden forge]

maybe firewall? windows does allow blocking internal addresses

[covert trail]

where would i look in firewall for that?

[hidden forge]

"windows defender firewall with extended security" > incoming > the rule for satisfactory > scope

[covert trail]

so just add my ip into the scope

[hidden forge]

is it on allow all?

[covert trail]

yes

[clear lagoon]

fyi you can query the servername using the Lightweight Query API. There's an example of how to parse the entire lightweight query packet with python here https://gist.github.com/SparxySys/4e96f18c567a0e33cf37e95980dbfc74 though one can easily port that to any other language

[deft cedar]

Turns out the checkbox for auto-pause was enabled again.... not sure how that happened.. my bad, thank you

[covert trail]

alsxo in the firewall the specific profiles are all checked for domain,private, and public.

[hidden forge]

can you disable the firewall entirely to check?

[noble sluice]

Restart your computer.

[covert trail]

still not working after restart.

[elfin knoll]

Any recommendations for a server host?

[deft cedar]

your own pc?

[noble sluice]

Has the server changed private IP address? Maybe a restart of the server is also due.

[noble sluice]

I'm using Contabo in Germany.

[mighty portal]

Strato also in Germany

[covert trail]

im using my own pc for the server

[noble sluice]

So you're running server AND client on the same machine?

[deft cedar]

yes

[covert trail]

no im using 2 computers one to play on one for the server

[deft cedar]

why use 2 PC's? the server barely uses any resources, if any

[covert trail]

because i have one lying around

[deft cedar]

not worth the electricity for the other pc, unless you're not paying 😛

I screenshotted the wrong thing btw, thought it was terminal, it's this process:

3-4% CPU and 4GB mem

[noble sluice]

Well the server runns 24/7 and barely use any electricity.
My desktop is not on in the night a suck electricity like there is no tomorrow.

So it's definetly worth having 2 computers.

And this has nothing to to do with dedicated servers.

[deft cedar]

how come your desktop sucks electricity like there is no tomorrow? did you put in a i9 14900K xd

[noble sluice]

Because it got a RTX 4070 GPU.. My server is headless...

[covert trail]

should i delete the whole server files and install the dedicated server again?

[deft cedar]

RTX 4070 barely uses any power... I'm running a 4090. My idle TDP is around 230 watt. Combined it with a 7800x3d

[noble sluice]

Might as well do that.

[deft cedar]

also server does not run on GPU but on CPU, so doesnt matter

[noble sluice]

Please enlighten me what this has todo with dedicated servers????

[deft cedar]

you were saying you did not run your server on your main PC because your main PC 'suck electricity like there is no tomorrow'

you mentioned you had a 4070 in it. So not sure how thats relevant... but since you mentioned GPU (even though its not related to running the server) I thought it was good to mention that it doesnt use that much watt on idle

[noble sluice]

When I play the game on my desktop computer, my GPU uses electricity.
Dedicated server runs in Docker on a ubuntu dedicated server somewhere else in the house.

[deft cedar]

"When I play the game on my desktop computer, my GPU uses electricity." -> I agree with you. I just don't see how this answer is relevant when giving arguments that you don't run your dedicated server on your main pc.
"Dedicated server runs in Docker on a ubuntu dedicated server somewhere else in the house." -> That's nice, and it's your privilige to do so, however, I was saying you could also leave on your main PC and host the server 24/7 on there. Unless you use the ubuntu for other things, sure... :p Then again, it's your stuff, your electricity, you do you man, I was just checking

[noble sluice]

I got like 5 computers...
All main in their own way...

[covert trail]

I reinstalled the server and it is still not letting me connect to it

[proper swallow]

oh, so this uses something else besides the provided QueryServerState function from the docs?

[noble sluice]

How did you install it?

[covert trail]

through steamcmd

[clear lagoon]

The Lightweight Query API is also in the documentation. If you parse it out it contains this data:

(json output in this case generated by https://gist.github.com/SparxySys/fdd03041655d9c97db30d79c320c2100 )

[noble sluice]

What is the IP to the server and what is your IP Both internal IP's and broadcastadress would be helpful. Do send on PM if you don't want to tell "everyone"

[covert trail]

how do i check the broadcastaddress

[clear lagoon]

he's asking for the subnet mask

[covert trail]

gottcha

[proper swallow]

oh shoot i am blind

thanks

[clear lagoon]

I'm pretty sure that the Lightweight Query API is actually intended to be the first caller/polling API since it's available in more server states than the HTTPS API (you can derive when the HTTPS API should or should not be available). Additionally, it contains data that you can use to see when you need to re-fire specific HTTPS queries to get newer data from the other endpoints

[clear lagoon]

You're welcome! It would still be nice if the servername were added to the HTTPS API as well though

[echo lily]

@clear lagoon Been 12+ hours now, shes still running solid. I can crouch-jump-slide again! 💪 Thank you!!!

[clear lagoon]

just from blindly copy-pasting my GameNetworkManager settings? XD

if you really want to you can make positioning client-authorative, although that may still be broken (it was severely broken in U8 at least)

for some reason, it thinks the ip is 0.0.0.0

any fixes?

Before it says:

[surreal kestrel]

Launched a new dedicated server, myself and a buddy have joined so far, but the player password I set doesn't seem to be working even after a restart. Would like to protect the server behind a pw. Any ideas?

[clear lagoon]

do you mean new players can join without a password even after setting a password in the server manager?

[surreal kestrel]

havent tried anyone other than us yet, but we're not being prompted

[clear lagoon]

did your players perchance join prior to you setting the password?

[surreal kestrel]

that is entirely possible

[clear lagoon]

the password is exchanged for an authentication token. it's possible authentication tokens remain valid when the password changes?

you can try removing the server in the server manager and then re-adding it to test @surreal kestrel

[jaunty comet]

So Im paying for a server but whenever my friends or I make blueprints they dont show up but they are in the folders, any fix to make them work?

[fierce lagoon]

because of the udp bug, server not reachable after the primary player leaves:

i have got the same bug now after running it on windows server 2022. after a server restore from a day before it worked again.
what I did: i have set new passwords for the user and admin, nothing else.

workaround:

• save your savegame from the server to your local machine
• reinstall the server completely without removing it from the server manager
• only use the user password if required and wait for the bugfix.
• upload the savegame to the server and load it

[jaunty comet]

thank you sm

[bold stone]

Y’all I’m updating the server via SteamCMD and the game says my server is still not up to date

[tawny shadow]

most probably using a wrong path and now u got 2 installs of the server

[bold stone]

Oh you gotta specify the path?

I thought it did the current dir

[tawny shadow]

what you can also do, delete the old installation and rerun the command

[bold stone]

But what about the save

The server dashboard won’t let me even extract the save

[frosty gale]

it does

but like

is that where you did it last time

steam cmd always defaults to steamapps/common

which is in the same dir as the executable

but to remove ambiguity its usually best to just force_install_dir with a direct path

[bold stone]

I did it in ~/FactoryGame/Server/ I think

[frosty gale]

I dont see why youd wanna have the double folder but otherwise that should be fine

[bold stone]

Double folder?

[tawny shadow]

the /Server/ part

[bold stone]

Oh

[frosty gale]

like putting the server inside a server folder inside the factory game folder

[bold stone]

Idk

[frosty gale]

thats usually the best reason

[bold stone]

It’s what the tutorial said :P

[frosty gale]

well you can install it on mars for all that matters

just as long as you update it on mars as well

[bold stone]

Does the server make the /Server directory or did I make it

[frosty gale]

you made it

it just dumps all the server binary content into whatever folder you specify in force_install_dir

usually I would recommend making an update.sh with the entire steamcmd update command in it just so the process is quicker in the future

[bold stone]

Ye but I can’t get a run script going

[frosty gale]

why not

[bold stone]

It just fails to load it

[frosty gale]

wdym

[bold stone]

I’m on my brothers pc rn so I can’t take a screenshot

[frosty gale]

can you show your update script

[bold stone]

This is a Linux server btw

[frosty gale]

can you even force install dir from there like that

[tawny shadow]

doesnt force install dir has to be used before the login?

[frosty gale]

I think steam asks you to

[bold stone]

It does?

Like Thai

This

[frosty gale]

I think you should just take this
steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/FactoryGame/Server +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit
and put it in an update.sh script or something, makr it executable, and just use that from now on

[bold stone]

Done

Update is in progress

[bold stone]

Welp turns out my phone didn’t send the images DERP

[amber smelt]

it seems like homing rifle ammo shoots directly into the ground if you are standing on it on dedicated servers. doesnt seem to happen when i load up my save in singleplayer

[clear lagoon]

Correct, it's bugged on servers. You need to jump or jetpack to use it. It fires from the pawn origin coordinates (the character's feet)

[amber smelt]

Aw dang, is there a list of known issues like this for dedicated servers?

At the very least i got around the issue of the server going down every time I quit by using the docker container

[clear lagoon]

Not listed anywhere comprehensively, but bugs should be reported on the satisfactory QA site. You can also upvote issues there. Like this bug report for homing ammo https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e59c69772a987f4a8b08bf

[amber smelt]

ah nice, have upvoted it. usually do most of my shooting while airborne anyway so didnt even register immediately

[clear lagoon]

It's one of the first things I checked since it's never worked properly on servers :p

[bright linden]

How do i change the tick rate of the server? Or does it matter?

[thorny dew]

Check wiki. Also it only matters in regards to making gameplay a bit smoother at the cost of much higher cpu usage

It's not going to magically fix issues

[bright linden]

I tried looking on the wiki but im not seeing the file its referencing being engine.ini. My server has a large amount of allotted cpu for it so i figured id just use some of it considering im maxing 5% of CPU at any given time.

[thorny dew]

Game doesnt use that many cores

[thorny dew]

Look again. It's in the config file section

[bright linden]

Am i blind

[thorny dew]

You really just want 3-4 fast cores.

[thorny dew]

You copy the lines and paste it in

[bright linden]

OH

[thorny dew]

It's not gonna show up by default

[bright linden]

mb i didn't read the whole page

[tepid coral]

anybody able to help me figure out with my dedicated server regarding the plants trees and such. I was able to get rid of them up until earlier today and no longer can destroy trees or plants and such either with chainsaw or explosives. I had no problem up until this point and we are around Tier 8 and such.

[worthy lake]

Are hyper tubes still really laggy in servers? I remember a few months back it was a problem

[arctic flame]

is there any way to setup my spare pc as a dedicated server wihtout having to do port forwardiong? i am living in someone elses home cuirrently

[knotty meadow]

only if you would be only one playing via LAN connection. For connecting from outside port forwarding is necessary, so router would know what device to forward connection to

[arctic flame]

I am very new to networking. are there risks to port forwarding like hack attempts etc?

[knotty meadow]

yes and no. basically how port forwarding works lets say your public IP is 10.10.10.10 so if you are trying to connect to that IP from internet you will reach only router. Satisfactory dedicated server by default listens to port 7777 so if you make port forwarding for port 7777 to direct to your PC local IP when connecting to 10.10.10.10:7777 router will redirect to your PC and only app that gonna be listening and responding to that port will be satisfactory dedicated server. security question is how secure server itself is. Dont thing there are known security risks. at least I did not hear bout any

[quick mist]

There are always risks, but the exposure of port forwarding to a game server is generally minimal unless the server is being run as the superuser

[knotty meadow]

way better answer then mine 😄 my internal network engineer did not go to sleep yet after work

[arctic flame]

by super user you mean admin?

[quick mist]

short answer: yes

[knotty meadow]

but you dont need to run server as superuser for it to work

[arctic flame]

got it

[quick mist]

in point of fact doing so is highly discommended

[knotty meadow]

basically to do that you really need to know what you are doing and it should be used only temporarily when troubleshooting only. I did not have to do that as of yet and bout that it will be needed ever

[teal mulch]

Yes, but it's less annoying. There is still much room for improvement though

[worthy lake]

Damn that’s a really old bug. How have they not fixed that

[quick mist]

they seem fine on my server?

I mean they're not butter smooth, there's a little hinkiness but it's not awful

[worthy lake]

Maybe they did fix it then. It used to be very very bad

Stuttering a ton

For the whole last update they didn’t fix it even though it was reported over and over

[quick mist]

I've only seen real stutter issues if you're making Game It Out type super-convoluted bendy pasta type tubes

[worthy lake]

Sweet that’s good then. I quit playing before because of the server bugs and them saying they wouldn’t fix it. Seems like most is fixed now

[solid bone]

any1 get nginx reverse proxy to work with a dedicated server?

[hidden forge]

#dedicated-servers message
Use Stream block, not http

[solid bone]

im using nginx proxy manager and added a rule in stream but still doesnt work

i can connect with local ip but not with a custom subdomain. turned off everything and only using a wildcard ssl but still cant connect
the subdomain shows {"errorCode": "errors.com.epicgames.httpserver.route_handler_not_found", "errorMessage": ""} in a browser but cannot connect in game
if any1 has settings in their Custom Nginx Configuration that work please share

[hidden forge]

Does the DNS Entry point towards the nginx rev-proxy?

Also i have never used proxy-manager. So dont know how accurate the config is for it

[tough mirage]

how can i make dedicated server still production while no player online?

[tepid coral]

There is settings for it

[tough mirage]

yes that's i searched reddit always said like that

but no how

[tepid coral]

its in your server settings "Auto Pause"

[tough mirage]

ok thanks!

[latent raven]

Are you sure, you put the certificate in the correct place for the game? Because since I gave Satisfactory a correct certificate, I am not able to reach the server in the browser anymore. So it seems, like your game is not using the certificate.

[solid bone]

but you can access it while using nginx reverse proxy?

[latent raven]

That doesnt mean Satisfactory knows about the cert. It expect different file names than letsencrypt for example.

[solid bone]

can you access it while using nginx reverse proxy or not?

[hidden forge]

nginx should not handle the certificate. The DS does it itself

Also the error message in the Browser implies the (TCP) connection works
What does the game client say?

[verbal sundial]

suddenly my server producessatisfactory-server | [2024.09.19-21.16.58:167][224]LogCircuit: Warning: Tick, circuit '157' has 14 reachable components but only 10 listed. Re-adding reached components. on startup. it still starts and accepts a connection but when I join it basically spams this message all over all the time and the joining takes forever and doesnt succeed in the end. I am running over pterodactyl satisfactory server egg. but when I load the savegame on singleplayer the performance is really really bad too. what are my options here?

but my performance is tanking hugely. I cant ignore it due to that?!

on singleplayer I have like 3 fps and on the dedicated server I cant even join

[solid bone]

says server is offline when trying to access with the sub domain

[verbal sundial]

alright but then what could possibly tank my performance? it is all the server log gives me basically

cant be. it tanks performance in singleplayer and on the server. I can send you the savegame too if that helps.

it came really suddenly. my world isnt overly big neither. my system is ryzen 9 5900x with 64 GB ram und AMD 7900 XTX

[latent raven]

Sure, I can try to to see if i can run it.

[verbal sundial]

awesome. I shall send you via DM?

[latent raven]

Your specs should be good enough. Yeah thats ok

[verbal sundial]

I have a savegame from a day before and that savegame works beautifully. I only built some water generators on the western oil field and changed a blueprint in the mk3 printer directly at the western oil field.

[latent raven]

I can reproduce your issue. The Client never connects. I would suggest:

1. Upload your savegame for the devs to figure the bug out here: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com
   Also let them know about your singleplayer test with the extremly poor performance, since it could be related.

2. Try experimenting with the savegame editor to see if you can remove stuff that could cause the issue.
   There seem to be some blueprint errors left in the game, so I would start with removing stuff from your mk3 blueprint designer and itself.

[verbal sundial]

Thanks a lot my man 🙂 I will put the question up there and delete all active mk3 printers with whats in them.

[latent raven]

Good luck! I hope it works.

[clear lagoon]

Your power grid has (invisibly in-game) connected to power poles or machines in a blueprint designer due to use of a corrupted blueprint. If you cleared all blueprint designers you would have likely found one that left buildables behind. If it does, it means it saved a corrupted blueprint and you probably want to delete all instances of it on the map. Especially if it left anything "connectable" behind i.e. power poles, conveyers, machines, splitters, rails, pipes, .....

Most cause crashes, one causes teleporting trains or trains failing to route and power lines cause that issue. the save in single player will usually have the power grid go on&off repeatedly for no apparent reason. In servers the server freaks out because it can't figure out the power grid

[verbal sundial]

Awesome, thanks for your help Miss Lena, this gives me something I can work with at least. So I will load my save, clear all blueprinters, check if any leaves a buildable behind and then delete all instances where I have printed that blueprint, yes?

[clear lagoon]

Yep. With this specific case it's usually also very easy in SCIM to find the culprit

[verbal sundial]

thats what I have read in here with another guy having a similar issue. he said he could fix it with SCIM, but I dont even know how to go about it / find the issue on the map.

[clear lagoon]

see #dedicated-servers message and #dedicated-servers message and the blueprint designer #dedicated-servers message

[verbal sundial]

I mean I can use the GUI and I know how to find buildings and power poles and stuff, but there is so much stuff, how woudl I go about finding something like this

awesome, thanks a lot!

[clear lagoon]

if you show only power lines and disable all other buildables you usually find that SCIM renders wires that may look awfully long. if you want you can also DM me your save and I'll take a look

[verbal sundial]

that would be so much appreciated. savegame is coming 🙂

[clear lagoon]

Very straight lines here. The bottom one is just a glitchy power pole that got placed in the exact center of the map, that happens and normally doesn't break anything but delete it anyway.
Here's the impacted blueprint designer, seems to be several power storages

connected to up here

@verbal sundial ☝️

[verbal sundial]

oooh

I love you so much

if there is anything I can do for you

I will try to fix this and if it works, you gained a lot of credit in the geyer-bank 🙂

[clear lagoon]

dw about it, you're welcome 🙂

[verbal sundial]

even if not, putting in the work for me, you are in posession of geyer-credit either way 🙂

[clear lagoon]

as per usual in debug view we can see that there are buildables that are in the designer that are actually not linked to it, i.e. normal vs bugged case, which causes a cable connection to a "world space buildable" to be stored

[verbal sundial]

there it is 🙂 as soon as I deleted the printed version of my power storage, the bottom half, it works beautifully again 🙂

Lena, you are a gem 🙂 If there is anything I can do for you, hit me up 🙂

[clear lagoon]

unfortunately you'll have to delete the blueprint since it's unusable 😅

[verbal sundial]

yes that is acceptable still 🙂

better than losing 50 water generators and their piping work 😉 😉

[clear lagoon]

For in the future: recommend always clearing the blueprint designer after saving it. if anything's left behind in the blueprint designer that's connectible, you're probably fucked. I think this usually tends to happens to objects placed during game save

[verbal sundial]

mmm yes, that is definitely noted. I will also tell the other players about this and insist on them doing it like that from now on. I also hope the devs could fix this issue in the future.

[clear lagoon]

There is one more hotfix coming probably next week, which may or may not solve this issue 😅

[verbal sundial]

😄 looking forward to reading the patchnotes this time around

[river plinth]

what text channel is this about?

[feral dawn]

Well RIP my save, dedicated server crashes with the usual exception_access_violation but it works okay in single player 😦 lol.

Seems the error all over the place.

was hoping for a hotfix patch for the IsConnected crash too (blueprint related) but you never know, maybe they release today.

[clear lagoon]

usually recoverable using SCIM

[feral dawn]

not this time around 😦

shame the error doesnt provide coords for the thing that's causing the problem.

but, its erroring when attempting to serialise something for transmission to a player.

[clear lagoon]

you can try to continue from an older save if there's no useful info deducible from the backtrace

[clear lagoon]

literally prints exactly which object is causing it (on the isConnected crashes at least)

you can then find the object by ID

[feral dawn]

hm i wasnt aware of the find object by ID thing

but the exception access violation isnt printing a object, which is a shame.

where can i find the object id search in scim?

[clear lagoon]

can you post the backtrace?

[feral dawn]

i believe i am being dumb 😄

yeah sec.

https://pastebin.com/raw/dr0Cr3wz

Originally the error was due to a drone that had no home, i found that drone and deleted it, now it just errors with this.

When u say u can find the object by ID, is there a search button someplace within SCIM, or do u mean manually find it?

[clear lagoon]

you can probably just search through the parsed savedata generated by SCIM

I just crashed my browser by trying to expand the savegame objects in the devtools console xD

woops hehe

[feral dawn]

ah, so no search itself. shame

[clear lagoon]

gimme a sec I'll whip something up

let search = "MinerMk3"; Object.keys(window.SCIM.baseLayout.saveGameParser.objects).filter(item => item.includes(search)).map(item => window.SCIM.baseLayout.saveGameParser.objects[item]).filter(obj => obj.transform).map(obj => ({ id: obj.pathName, location: obj.transform.translation })) 

obviously works with the ID numbers as well

[feral dawn]

thank you

why scim doesnt have a search feature by default in the UI i dont know lol.

[clear lagoon]

object IDs are "debug information" in SCIM

players shouldn't normally need them 😛

[feral dawn]

No, but put it someplace to the side, maybe under a debug view or something.

but thanks, this has worked well

naughty belt.

[clear lagoon]

thanks. recommend this to detect corrupt blueprints early #dedicated-servers message

[feral dawn]

ah interesting okay thanks

Interestingly my drone error has the drone coords in the filter you provided, but there is no drone there on the map, and it's way out in the fog of war. odd.

[clear lagoon]

drones can cross the fog of war if you happen to not have explored the straight path between two drone ports I guess

this seems to be a lightweight buildable

[feral dawn]

The original one seemed to point towards it trying to serialise a color, so i reset all colors of everything in the game world back to the ficsit default.

what is considered a lightweight buildable?

[clear lagoon]

everything that has no tickable actions in the game loop, i.e. foundations, walls, ...

[feral dawn]

aah i see

fun... lol

i might just start to do the silly thing of, filter out all tickable actors, and select half the map, delete everything.

see if the error goes away, repeat making the area smaller and smaller.

i dont see another way of doing it.

[clear lagoon]

if you keep getting corrupted saves you might have an issue with your server hardware, i.e. storage, cpu, RAM

at least I've never encountered these specific backtraces before

[feral dawn]

I am using LINSTOR, possible it's wonky with this.

but then i would assume many other of my VM's on Proxmox would be having issues.

[empty cape]

anyone else had issues with assertion failed: world, on a fresh Steamcmd install?

[clear lagoon]

please post the full error and backtrace

if it is a clean install and you removed all your configs and saves, you can try to verify the gamefiles

[empty cape]

by fresh i mean only decided to start one today and followed the guide to setting one up haha,

[feral dawn]

Well we have progress, i deleted all 80k foundations in my world, and now the server doesnt crash... so time to start the boring process of narrowing it down.

Thanks so much for ur help thus far Lena.

random q: i assume there isnt some sort of console command to make flight mode faster (the flight cheat). Holding shift just isnt that fast.

[wanton tulip]

Is there any way to override the deadicated server restarts as it conflicts with our server panel and of the 2 it is one that seems to cause large progress loss?

[clear lagoon]

you can change the time at which the server restarts. why would it cause progress loss?

[wanton tulip]

Cause it doesn't save prior to restart alongside sometimes trying to restart the server as it boots up as it can't seem to decide when to restart.

[clear lagoon]

It does. The saves are called <lastloadedsave>_continue and should be loaded on startup

i.e.

[2024.10.04-00.00.00:001][288]LogGame: Display: Session Restart Timer elapsed, rebooting the session to maintain clock stability/game performance.
[2024.10.04-00.00.00:864][288]LogSave: Warning: New/Old Root size mismatch!
[2024.10.04-00.00.00:930][288]LogGame: World Serialization (save): 0.921 seconds (game thread)

and the auto generated save file name

-rw-r--r-- 1 sparxy sparxy 8.4M Oct  4 00:00 prestopsave20241003142324_continue.sav

where the original save file name was prestopsave20241003142324 (which is from my control system)

if it's not correctly saving/resuming you'll have to check the logs to see why

are you sure it's not crashing on save instead of reloading the map?

[wanton tulip]

Ah that is why then the conflict is causing it to crash on every reload.

[clear lagoon]

Keep in mind that if your dashboard issues a quit command or sigterm that you're also responsible for creating the new save. The server doesn't save on quit

[clear lagoon]

Possibly yes. I'd suggest if you want it controlled by the external dashboard that you save and quit a minute before the scheduled restart time and wait until after the hour to start again

Or configure non overlapping times and have one process restart and one level reload for two restarts a day

Maybe you can find a cvar to disable the restart but I don't know any

[latent raven]

Do clients get kicked during the auto restart? Bc my client got the expected warnings that it would restart but then stayed connected once the timer was up.

Also had this error in the server log right after the restart

But other than the, the log reads fine, so I am just wondering.

[clear lagoon]

Normally clients get kicked though I've seen it happen to that I don't get kicked. If the server travel didn't happen the session didn't actually restart

See my logs above for an example of a successful restart.

Ie you should see the "server switch level" log

[latent raven]

Thanks for clarifying.
Maybe I caused the issue by saving the world right before the restart manually via server manager.

[regal marsh]

yep, sometimes the clients stay
its more of a world restart apparently

[noble sluice]

start from scratch on your client then upload to server..

[outer apex]

Could I simply download the save from my dedicated server, play a bit on it and upload it again?
I'm asking because I want to fix some blueprint issues that cause my dedicated server to crash

[rapid spindle]

Yes, this is possible

[outer apex]

never mind, still causes the crash, even in singleplayer

[regal marsh]

probably going to have to load it in https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

[outer apex]

I will try. Question is, how do I fix the blueprint

Or more like: how do I avoid the error?
I'm not sure what causes the blueprints to break

[feral dawn]

dont place belts or lifts in ur blueprints, place them after is what ive started to do.

[fluid ginkgo]

Is there wiring in the blueprints?

[outer apex]

But the point of the blueprint is that I don't need to place them

rip

[feral dawn]

until they fix it, yeah cant really do much else 😐

[outer apex]

But it seems to only be some

For my save file the foundry + lift was corrupted

I would even send them my game file to analyze it but I don't know where I can send it in

[regal marsh]

that would be here

[errant gull]

Not crashes but having to log off the server then back on to refresh the dismantled items. Right now the issue I'm seeing are 2, 4 meter ramps and 2, 4 meter foundations. The 1 meter ones dismantle fine. Oh, and this has already been reported awhile back. We're going to have to wait on a patch.

[karmic merlin]

so late game server doesnt work properly currently?

[chrome pumice]

I have had not issues with late game on my server.

[radiant berry]

I kinda figured out what causes it

[tepid coral]

anybody know why i wouldn't be able to destroy plants with an empty inventory, throwing nobelisks or using chainsaw? plants are not getting killed anymore, the trees, mushrooms, etc. I'm near late game on deddicated server

[radiant berry]

But other than that no

Oh yes

[radiant berry]

Across the map there's certain bits of foliage/rocks with bad data, destruction of any of these will disable the clientside unloading of foliage/rocks

[tepid coral]

seriously? so how can i reenable it

[deep mortar]

That.... that sucks

[deep mortar]

@halcyon seal ^^^^

[radiant berry]

Dunno, theres a console command that respawns all trees

[deep mortar]

Also, there's apparently SCIM that can do it too

[radiant berry]

But additionally, if you log out and into an area with that rock or tree, all objects will respawn for you

Or, if you relog in an area with the bad object unloaded you can play normally and everything will work as is.... until you load in the bad object

[tepid coral]

i've tried relogging, re starting the server

[deep mortar]

Yeah, that won't work

[tepid coral]

i'm building in an area with the bad trees sticking through my factories

[deep mortar]

I've had this problem for.... a while

[radiant berry]

It's an error with the map

I know of one in the swamp

[deep mortar]

I don't suppose you have any idea what the "Bad" tree identifiers is/are do you?

[radiant berry]

Not a clue, i just know theres one in the swamp

[tepid coral]

lol what Matterom said the swamp, that's where I'm building

I've tried destroying and clearing the area to plop down some factories with supports

[radiant berry]

There's one somewhere else too

[deep mortar]

You have any idea of general coords?

I'm tempted to use scim to see if i can figure out which one

[tepid coral]

the general coordinates where I'm currently building are 2100, 200 or so

[deep mortar]

it's a starting point

ty

[tepid coral]

thiss is what I ddeal wiith

[tepid coral]

its like if i can't destroy it i tried janking it to try andd put down inputs

or floor holes and such

[radiant berry]

Somewhere to the right of that line

[tepid coral]

but it acts like it's still there and if i go up to it the game starts bugging or fps slight drop and jitteriness

[deep mortar]

Yep.

[radiant berry]

Yea it's not there for the server

The server thinks your inside of it

[deep mortar]

It's just your local client that thinks it is. hence the rubber banding.

*thinks it's there

[tepid coral]

so there has to be a way to reorient my client side to server

[radiant berry]

Go to the desert. Or the bamboo forest

And relog

Then come back

[deep mortar]

that will work without resetting things?

[vapid cedar]

how do I restart the dedicated server after I changed the network quality settings?

[tepid coral]

ok will try that

[vapid cedar]

console command?

[radiant berry]

It'll load the line

[deep mortar]

hmm

[tepid coral]

@radiant berry excellent suggestion its not there

thank god for that advice

confirmed this works

[radiant berry]

what i did

is i have a hypertube to about where the stuff is unloaded

and i just go there to log out

when done for the day

[radiant berry]

You should be able to see a line of trees

[deep mortar]

omg it worked

i literally went to the desert. relogged. and now i can cut trees down (in the desert area)

I'm going back to my base to see if it stays borked

so i died and went back to base = still can't cut stuff down. but if Matterom's theory is right, it's because i got back in proximity to the borked element?

[vapid cedar]

how do I restart the dedicated server after I changed the network quality settings in order to have effect?

[radiant berry]

ye

For me, The bugged plant is somewhere here

[radiant berry]

where is your base?

[deep mortar]

Northern forest by the triple iron nodes

just south of the shitty oil reserve

actually. i think it's quad pure iron nodes

that one spot that used to be absurdly OP and is now just sorta amazing

I honestly can't remember when it started because when it happened, i just naivly assumed it would fix on next reboot

and ignored it

[radiant berry]

thats about how far i gagued the load in radius

however, You may be able to get that smaller by setting the foliage load in distance to... not far

[deep mortar]

I am going to have to try that. i have everything maxed currently.

That's where I currently live, but as yo ucan see. i went sommersloop hunting

[radiant berry]

Right

I didn't clear the Northern Forest

so idk if there might be a bad one up there

[deep mortar]

must be. So set foliage load to small as possible. log out/back in and see if it still borks

[radiant berry]

basically

[deep mortar]

lezzeee

survey says, yes

[radiant berry]

🤔

it's possible, that the problem plant is also between the base and the desert as well

[deep mortar]

well, i'm going west with it set to near

[halcyon seal]

I have been having the same issue, I found the best solution here... I just tried it and it seems to be working for now.

I am in the same location as Nichodimus on a different server.

[deep mortar]

This is a near region for me.

[viscid inlet]

Hey y'all, if anyone have issue with some buildable being invisible - but still have collision and can't be selected - in the Blueprint Designer (while playing on dedicated server), we found a clue with a friend !
Basically, something weird happen and the stuff is built at 0,0. To remove them either clear the blueprint designer or go to 0,0 to dismantle those things
Here's the link to the post on the QA site : https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e46e63772a987f4a8af5be
I (purplestove) made a video showing the stuff appearing at 0,0, and how to clear them

[deep mortar]

we have a winner.

Moving that far left and relogging resolved it

I stopped a few times in between and this was the first distance that worked.

So now I guess I need to start triangulating the problem. But this is exasperated by the fact that we don't know if there are multiples in the area.

or maybe this is easier than i think. I'll just start walking back to my base, cutting trees as i go, and when it stops, i mark it

[rancid patrol]

Friend tried to invite me into their server
Error message "Could not connect to the server. Failed to connect to the server API"
Figured i didn't have downloaded satisfactory dedicated servers tool
downloaded that
then downloaded Steamcmd.exe
Tried my best to follow the steps and try to do it
checked it again. Same error message.

What did i do wrong at this point

[deep mortar]

Are other people able to connect besides them?

Because more than likely they didn't set up port forwarding correctly.

Also, if you aren't running the server, you don't need steamcmd or the dedicated server tools

this isn't oin your end

[rancid patrol]

yeah i'm just asking them about it right now

[deep mortar]

Moving east from my screenshots, I ran into problems here with "near" foliage loading. This seems to be working!

[deep mortar]

If they hosted a server before 1.0, and now it doesn't work, they need to port forward port 7777 on BOTH TCP and UDP, where before this wasn't required.

[topaz scarab]

make them read the wiki

[deep mortar]

tl;dr Port Forwarding requirements changed with 1.0. They need to be updated.

[rancid patrol]

it's after 1.0, they're trying to set one up but says the steam thing issue keep happening

[deep mortar]

The steam thing issue

You are going to need to be more specific.

[rancid patrol]

That's what they are saying to me

[deep mortar]

Here's an idea.

Maybe they should be here asking the questions and not playing telephone

You're getting stuck between an inexperienced server admin and cranky support people

[radiant berry]

instead of doing that, im going to just select what i guess is the problem

[regal turtle]

I run a dedi server and no one even connects with steam, they just use the server manager to add it and join

[radiant berry]

then chop it down to see when it starts to break

[deep mortar]

You so smart

I'd do that but my area isn't flat and... I'm not that patient.

[tough kernel]

Ok super smart server people. I am trying to run two servers on different ports. Both servers work on the LAN but when I add the servers externally both show the server running on 7777 and not 8888. I am assuming it is a query port issue but not seeing how to specify that

[random adder]

Hey nich , didn't know my friend opened a request on my behalf but thank you for letting him know to send me an invite ❤️ .

Anyway , the problem i'm facing is as follows , when I or a friend is trying to connect , it's either taking time to detect the server or giving off weird API error request saying it cannot reach the API of the dedicated server . ( God , I wish I know what POST and GET it uses to test more easily with postman ) .

It's not my first time running a satisfactory server and I did one even with mods which worked as best as it could . After the latest release 1.0 update , I did everything fresh , meaning I installed it all over again .

I Tried 3 ways to install it , through Epic launcher , Steam Dedicated server and SteamCMD .
Suprisingly , SteamCMD is working so far the best out of all the options and it's confusing because I'm not even sure if SteamCMD had the time to be updated to 1.0 .
Anywho , locally it does the same problem but works from time to time after a lot of afford but when trying to join the server through Steam game , you can pray all you want but you will mostly reach the API error message that it couldn't reach the server API .

I am running the server on a virtual machine through a VLAN and already did all the network traffic checking and firewall rules , opened the port 7777 and when I got into the problem I click on the red imaginary button and choose to open the living fuck of my router just to test it and opened all my ports to that vlan server .

I have a few cloud Machines on a different countries + VPN as well , I tried on all of them but I get the same results .
EPIC Launcher works kind of , Steam cannot join no matter what , regardless of the option settings of which account to use and to be account logged in with EPIC even through steam (I understood that it's a must . . . but tried both ways regradless . . . )

Port of course is UDP but I tried TCP as well because I never know what they choose to change . . stil the same results .
P.S : I did made sure to do general testing for telnet to my virtual machine on fake ports and so forth , it all works .

[deep mortar]

hey Nyastya, welcome to the pit.

So with the addition of 1.0, they completely changed the port forwarding

it's now just UDP & TCP 7777

so you're saying you have both running?

[tough kernel]

Thats what they say but if I do a port scan the Steam Query Ports still anounce them selved

selves

[random adder]

waaaaaaait . . .both ?

[deep mortar]

yes.

both.

@random adderWindows I take it?

[radiant berry]

i think i found the swamp one

[deep mortar]

so I'm trying to find in the wiki the new commands and i am 99% sure you only need the 7777, but i reserve the right to be wrong

[random adder]

Yep

[radiant berry]

or at least one of them

[tough kernel]

O no that is what it say in the Wiki

[deep mortar]

stupid question. Which Wiki. I believe there are two and one is out of date.

[radiant berry]

let me do a bit more testing, and see if i can isolate it

[deep mortar]

good hunting and sommersloop's speed

[radiant berry]

all i was doing, was tossing nuke nobs until things stopped disapearing

[deep mortar]

that's probably faster than a chain saw

[radiant berry]

narrows it down faster

[topaz scarab]

wiki it's in the channel header wiki

[deep mortar]

but that still is a much narrower region than how i was doing it

[tough kernel]

oh, no im just spouting anything that comes to mind, not trying to insult

I think this is the one

[deep mortar]

Shhh.. clearly from my typing in a text only chat it should be obvious I'm illiterate

I think someone may just need to update the command line.

[random adder]

Both directions , I made sure to fully open each other legs apart . I opened the gates so far from both sides that even Lucifer got jealous . And it's not like the connection isn't fully working , it does work through the epic launcher but not through the Steam one , I only once manage to connect .
I even managed to connect it to the server manager and entered the authenticated password for admin access which works . But once you try to join the game goes "Computer said no"

[tough kernel]

I have tried just specifying the port on each instance... get the same fustration.

[random adder]

MonkaS hahahaha ❤️

[radiant berry]

It's a BUSH!

[deep mortar]

You updated tcp/udp and still no joy?

[deep mortar]

Lousy Bush's - Always startin shit

[radiant berry]

i cut down all the trees, everything was fine still

was confused.

threw another nob and none of the bushes disapeared

[tough kernel]

Umm I have not ran into that... even on your LAN when someone trys to connect no love?

[deep mortar]

Oh for the love of pete.

@random adder Hmmm. So you're not using custom ports. What's your start command look like?

oh. Wait. Actually. You said you're running it off of a windows machine?

[random adder]

Ill try a few more things just to make sure I didn't miss anything and end up silly being . . . I'll come back up to give an update , still thanks for the help ❤️
i would test it all right now but I'm dealing with a Lonovo berametal server right now that does not want to post . . . end meeeeeeee it's an old one

and yes , the dedicated server is running on windows machine

[deep mortar]

Did you open the ports on both the router and the windows firewall?

[random adder]

even tho now that I think about it . .. I can use linux xD

mhm

I have fortigate for fun in the middle to NAT stuff better , all clear like butter

[deep mortar]

I am running a docker container on debian and using the Wolveix image it's been relatively smooth sailing

ahhaha

[earnest willow]

can anyone help with egg install pterodactyl

[tough kernel]

I have not used the Fortigate before but I have a lot of experiance with Palo/Sonicwall/PFsense... I have my Server behind a PFSense host

[radiant berry]

@tepid coral Reset the foliage in a small area around these cords using that strat.. Actually there are more than one bad spot

[fickle stone]

stupid question but i cant figure it out, how do i update a dedicated server that runs in the terminal on a linux machine?

[deep mortar]

let me send you the link to the container. Wolveix is awesome and provides the files and all

[random adder]

awesome , thank you ❤️

[radiant berry]

One of these shrubs is the glitch for me

could be a flower, could be a grass too

[topaz scarab]

it's also listed in the wiki page 😉

[earnest willow]

should be the same as the install command

[radiant berry]

op theres another one

theres more than one dam

[fickle stone]

i did not use a command, i ran the run.sh file in the terminal, files where downloaded thru steam and moved onto a custom folder

[radiant berry]

gonna have to start saving before every nob throw

[tough kernel]

If you take all the defaults
steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/Satisfactory2 +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 public validate +quit

without the 2

[fickle stone]

does it do automatic updates on start or is that just a manual update?
also i dont have steamcmd

[tough kernel]

You have to run it when you want to update.

My startup script has it do an update before it spawns the process

[fickle stone]

ah, ok so i just add that to the .sh file/script?

do i need to install steamcmd when using pterodactyl

[thorny dew]

No

It's included in the image

At least afaik

[earnest willow]

/entrypoint.sh: line 56: ./steamcmd/steamcmd.sh: No such file or directory
hmm whats going on here then

[thorny dew]

Or at least it should be downloaded in the install script

[fickle stone]

it didn't work, its still on 366202

[thorny dew]

Let me check my script rq

[thorny dew]

Yeah I'm using the same install script and it's working just fine for me

You've got some other issue

Same egg on my end

[earnest willow]

only thing i had to change was "/mnt\/server" to "/media\/disk1"

using github.com/ghostcap-gaming/pterodactyl-eggs/blob/main/games/satisfactory/egg-satisfactory10.json right?

[thorny dew]

No I'm just using it straight from ptero's repo

[tawny shadow]

github.com/pelican-eggs/games-steamcmd/blob/main/satisfactory/egg-pterodactyl-satisfactory.json

[thorny dew]

As long as you're using ghcr.io/parkervcp/games:source as your docker image

It has steamcmd

[earnest willow]

oh lemme try that one

[thorny dew]

It's my modified one with custom tick rate support out of the box

If you wanna use that

[torn eagle]

so far from what ive been reading seems like ill have to go the container route huh....
was hoping to just be able to start up a server via windows but even though its all setup correctly it keeps saying cant connect to server even though i see a ping and i see the logs popping off

[earnest willow]

yeah its using the same image

[thorny dew]

Only thing I can think about is an issue with writing to disk

Maybe it's throwing errors

Pterodactyl kinda blows at catching that kind of stuff

Rightfully so because it's a user config issue xd

[thorny dew]

Wait

Where exactly did you change that?

[earnest willow]

"scripts": {
"installation": {

[thorny dew]

And why did you change it?

[earnest willow]

my hdd is /media/disk1 not /mnt/server

[thorny dew]

Change it back

That's an internal container directory

Not your host dir

[earnest willow]

ohh

[thorny dew]

lol

There's your problem

[earnest willow]

so itll still use my hdd instead of my boot drive?

[thorny dew]

Actually quite unsure on how you change the install dir for ptero images, but I reckon there's a guide somewhere

But changing the install script isn't the way, that's for sure

You have to change it from docker's side

[thorny dew]

https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/issues/1768 Maybe this'll shed light on the issue

And besides, I don't recommend having your server files on a HDD if you have the space on a SSD

[earnest willow]

boot drive is 64gb

[thorny dew]

jesus

[earnest willow]

my server is salvaged parts heh

[thorny dew]

Nice

[earnest willow]

oh it worked

and its using the hdd

im dent

[thorny dew]

Nice

[earnest willow]

lotta artifacting when im turning though

[hollow sandal]

Hey - My dedicated server been working great but all of a sudden it crashes on log off and turns off - requires a reboot. The log file shows: Error: FMultiBindDatagramSocket failed to read data from underlying socket Unreal: SE_ECONNRESET

[heady inlet]

is there an option or command to show the server UPS/FPS? For dedicated server

[tawny shadow]

ingame server manager shows the tickrate

[hollow sandal]

Also the log file shows SE_ECONNRESET

[heady inlet]

yes i know but is it possible to show it like an overlay?

[dapper plume]

Hey anyone got a problem in the 2 last days with a dedicated server like I can connect to the server but my friend no. But 3 days ago he can connect and me too.

[wicked edge]

Ive had 2 issues with deleting things and their invisible collision still being present on dedicated servers

[dapper plume]

and that can block him to connect?

[lavish magnet]

are you hosting at home?
If so, does your internet service provider use CGNAT?

[dapper plume]

no I rent a vps

[mortal orchid]

my linux server segfaulted, is there a crash file I can send somehow?

[vapid cedar]

I have an issue when the output of the machines merged is a full belt that goes into other machines, i cannot achieve 100% capacity. Do you have similar issue?

[verbal wigeon]

Hey guys. We have an issue with our port forwarding and I was hoping someone might be able to point us in the right direct. My friend has the dedicated server at his house. He was able to get me on the server, but we have another friend in a different state, and we cant get the server to let him in as well. Does anyone have any insight?

[grim mica]

If the port is forwarded.. its forwarded. If someone else cant get there - could be that their ISP has a bad route/path but more likely something on their end is blocking outbound on that port, try a different port

[daring sundial]

when I restart my server it enables auto pause again, anyone know where I can edit this in the files?

[clear lagoon]

How did you install the server?

[daring sundial]

i figured it out ;) using Pterodactyl gonna make a env var for it

[clear lagoon]

If it's not saving the setting you either have it overridden in a config or your install method

[daring sundial]

its the install method

hence me adding an ENV

[clear lagoon]

Advise the distributor of that install method they shouldn't set that config since it's configurable through the UI

[daring sundial]

its self hosted :P

[clear lagoon]

I meant the distributor of the pterodactyl satisfactory server package

[tawny shadow]

the default egg for satisfactory doesn't add any config except for the max player startup parameter

[daring sundial]

i think they have an issue open on it but no one is managing for it

[clear lagoon]

Does it overwrite the config file on startup?

[daring sundial]

yee

[clear lagoon]

Cause if it clears the config FG.DSAutoPause will reset

[tawny shadow]

the old one does create config files only if there isnt already one there, it never overwrites the file when already created

[clear lagoon]

The auto pause setting saves fine on manual installs so it's an issue with the custom distribution either way

[tawny shadow]

i'm running ptero, no issue here

the starup never overwrites any files, only on shutdown the server itself writes out the new config files

if you don't want that you can just change the permision to read-only

[clear lagoon]

Uhuh sure what's this?

current Pterodactyl ini config parser limitation.\r\n# When the patch to this limitation hits the production branch, this will be updated.\r\nrm -f Engine.ini Game.ini GameUserSettings.ini\r\n\r\necho

The one I found at least explicitly removes and recreates the files with new values from environment variables. This also eliminates the auto pause saved setting, possibly amongst others

[tawny shadow]

the config parser only runs on install/re-install, not every startup

so far no rewrite of the config file here on start up, only when i stop the server the files get edited

[clear lagoon]

And your auto pause setting vanishes?

[tawny shadow]

nope it doesnt vanish

after a shutdown and start

[clear lagoon]

Maybe you're using a different package than HD

[tawny shadow]

possible, they stopped updating the github for the eggs and changed the repo,
many still use the old outdated egg's

github.com/pelican-eggs/games-steamcmd/tree/main/satisfactory

is most recent one

the new one never touches the GameUserSettings.ini even on install

[clear lagoon]

That's not the one I found so I guess it's some issue with the old one

[topaz scarab]

i too love using clearly abandoned tools

[clear lagoon]

Maybe @daring sundial can update to the correct version?

[tawny shadow]

most devs switched to pelican, ptero is afaik on life support and only is getting security updates.

the pelican devs also keep the egg's for ptero up2date

[clear lagoon]

The ptero repository with the satisfactory egg appears to be archived

[tawny shadow]

yep

[clear lagoon]

Not much updating gonna be happening there xD

[tawny shadow]

yeah but pelican devs at least keep the ptero eggs updated at least until pelican is out of beta, after that no idea

[clear lagoon]

So awkward transition period for whoever is using it I guess

[tawny shadow]

well ptero works just fine and there will be a migration tool

[daring sundial]

:)

[clear lagoon]

Having server issues caused by mods or bad redistributions or bad install scripts is a pain

[daring sundial]

i added the autopause, keep in mind it needs to restart to apply the changes

[clear lagoon]

Doesn't make it easier to distinguish between user error and server bug xD

[clear lagoon]

That overwrites the game config on startup for sure

[daring sundial]

it does now

yes

thats the intent

[tawny shadow]

yeah his egg is based on the old archived egg

[daring sundial]

^

its also the most stable version so far

the new ones are very meh

plus i know this one better because I redid the whole thing for my company

[tawny shadow]

no idea how its supposed to be unstable when the current one doesnt change anything and keeps its close to a vanilla server 😄

[clear lagoon]

You can override any config variables using launch arguments. You don't need to overwrite config files in startup scripts. That's nasty

[daring sundial]

image wise sorry not egg wise, there is a new image that got added that I use its custom, i just modfied the old egg

[daring sundial]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

it works

[clear lagoon]

Customers taking screenshots of issues, pasting them in a word document and mailing it as an attachment to a ticket reply works too. Things that work can be nasty xD

[daring sundial]

sadly ive had that happen,

anyone else run into really high latency after any kind of fast-ish movement of any character on a server?

like standing still, 20ms to the server. After sprinting with bladerunners for 10 seconds, 500ms

[thorny dew]

Prob cpu struggling to keep up as it loads entities while you travel

[agile shard]

hmm just tested it and watched the history on task manager. CPU never goes above 30% usage

[digital mica]

Question to all why does the pause on save button keep checking itself when i log out of my dedicated server?

[tawny shadow]

disabling streaming might help

add
-ini:Engine:[ConsoleVariables]:wp.Runtime.EnableServerStreaming=0
as startup argument and give it a try

[agile shard]

on the client side?

[tawny shadow]

on the server

[agile shard]

will that take effect if I run it via the .exe?

[thorny dew]

Check the per-core/thread usage

If you're looking at task manager's processes list it'll only show you cpu usage out of all your cores

Satisfactory still heavily relies on one core for a lot of things

[agile shard]

yea was looking at the graph breakout of logical processors

[thorny dew]

6600U jesus

Uhh

[agile shard]

thats just a laptop dedicated to the dedicated server

not running the game on it

[thorny dew]

What does server manager say about the avg tickrate?

[agile shard]

278

[thorny dew]

While you're using the boots

Not ping

Tick rate

[agile shard]

sorry 27*

[thorny dew]

And that's before you start running around?

[agile shard]

standing stillyea

how fast does tick rate update?

[thorny dew]

Not sure tbh

Idk what the average is out of

But it's not too long I dont think

[gloomy urchin]

how to join

[thorny dew]

So just try running around and check on the avg when stuff starts lagging

[thorny dew]

Server manager and add ip

Check wiki for info

[thorny dew]

My guess right now is that your laptop is bottlenecked somewhere

Considering the CPU isn't stressing too hard, I'll throw a guess and say it might be memory

[agile shard]

16GB on there, only using half. Lemme see if it spikes with movement

[thorny dew]

Memory usage doesnt spike while moving

The problem is the bandwidth

[agile shard]

ah yea memory speed, could be

is the dedicated server really sensitive to ram speed?

[thorny dew]

6600U supports both ddr4 and ddr3

Chances are, you're on ddr3

[agile shard]

its def ddr3 yea

[thorny dew]

And it might even be a single slot

Which is horrible

[agile shard]

na dual channel but probably cheapish lower speed ram

[thorny dew]

Ddr3-1600 is just ultra slow

[agile shard]

ok i'll try hosting on my newer Surface

[thorny dew]

If it was ddr4-2400 or something it wouldnt be too bad

I think it's a mix of both latency and bandwidth

[thorny dew]

Lmk if it fixes the issue. I'm confident it will

[agile shard]

k testing here shortly thanks

[thorny dew]

@agile shard Also if you have time, maybe check disk latency too while you're running around

Maybe that's where the sluggishness is coming from

[agile shard]

whelp, initial testing with hosting on the Surface shows its resolved

definitely something bottlenecking on the older laptop

its a pcie SSD so kinda doubt disk, most likely RAM speed

thats def the crappiest part of that hardware

[quasi kettle]

that sounds more like the laptop might be in energy saving mode

My buddy and I just ran into the same bug, haven't seen any solution for it

[fading horizon]

quick question, I saw someone posted a github repo of an AWS implementation of a satisfactory server, is that really viable and not more spencive than just paying to a dedicated game hoster?

[quick mist]

It would probably be more expensive. Using AWS as a server host for a server runnning 24/7 will nearly always be more expensive than just getting proper hosting

[molten vessel]

Anyone having issues with Dedicated servers and converybelts? Belts constantly freezing when entering machinces/storage/Splitters. Like they hit the machine and only enter 1 at a time per 4 seconds. MK5 belts all around.
5900x
64gb Ram
PCI SSD
Very low CPU usage like 20% highest core.

[icy beacon]

Can someone help me? When my friend tries to search my server it says "Server appears offline" even though its up and running on my side.

I couldnt find anything in the wiki about it

[glacial bolt]

Are you home hosting the server? If so did you make sure your firewall/router settings are allowing the ports used by the server client?

[river sand]

@south grove There is a bug where you can hear a geyser whoosh sound could be linked as the trigger for the sound could also be what checks for buildings nearby for wildlife spawners and as the trigger is large the spawners are checking nearby nodes? Its a possible theory

[brazen oyster]

Someone please explain what you do to make drones do anything

Built two stations and a drone but what then

[unreal parrot]

hi, i dont understand how to setup dedicated server from epic games. i instaled file, but how to u enter or setup it cant find any info on it. all i see is only steam

[hollow sun]

i do a simply ui app for manage dedicated server on any folder on windows,
is open source and for me use, but if you want it i can up a compilation for use https://github.com/alca259/SatisServerFactory/tree/main

[latent raven]

You just install it. Then you add and configure it ingame through game manager.

[unreal parrot]

isnt its still for steam?

[unreal parrot]

in game there is no options to change anything

[hollow sun]

for dedicated server, you need to setup on "Server Manager" tab, add your dedicated server, normally 127.0.0.1:7777

claim server, and configurate

[latent raven]

Have you found the server manager yet?

[unreal parrot]

trying

ah found it sec

suces, so what next how can my friend join to it ?
