dedicated-servers

[latent raven]

Well, but your RemoteAddress is starting with 192.*, which indicates it is an internal IP address. Edit: It not a private IP.

[severe lantern]

i´ll dm you full ip, i dont think its internal ip

[frank bobcat]

Does anyone know if blueprints are stable in dedicated servers yet? Or if not, is there some way to get around the issue with crashes caused by deleting placed blueprints?

In my server we've avoided using blueprints at all because of how much of a pain it was when we first tried

[crystal vale]

yeah i checked it

[topaz scarab]

something is already on that port

[crystal vale]

i cross checked it that port used and event trying on different ports also it doesn't work

[topaz scarab]

well that's what your logs says

[crystal vale]

this is a new log after port has changed but !!!

[topaz scarab]

yep same issue

[dark storm]

hello, i'm still looking to see if this is normal behaviour behind a proxy. the game seems to run fine otherwise. thanks in advance.

[regal marsh]

its normal

[dark storm]

okay, many thanks.

[amber wolf]

anyone having weird issues like this? Having other strange behaviour occur such as inventory being empty after leaving. Rebooted the server but still the same?

turns out deleting the drone and adding a new one resolves the issue odd........

[somber terrace]

We broke our save multiple times last night using blueprints, haven’t seen a bulletproof workaround…

[frank bobcat]

It's really annoying 😦

It's such a pain having to load the save in an external tool, delete the offense, and reupload/restart

just not even using blueprints until they fix it

[somber terrace]

BP was the feature we were most looking forward to, we built a couple mega factories by hand in EA and started fresh… breaking the game is not worth it.

[somber terrace]

Ya, totally sucks

[raven stratus]

Do dedicated server services have the same bugs as locally hosting a multiplayer world?

In game bugs that is. I’m sure connecting to the server has differences

[somber terrace]

Not sure exactly, but I do know I was able to load saves into single player that were broken on dedicated servers

[unborn haven]

INVISIBLE cant see anything traveling until cirtain spots

[rigid comet]

I've been playing on steam deck and it's starting to chug a little from my normal 50-60fps to the 30ish range when in my larger factory areas. I've seen mixed comments on whether or not dedicated servers help with this. Some say it takes some of the compute load off the clients, others say there isn't any performance benefit. What's the experience of people here? Woul dedicated servers help client performance?

How to fix it?

[distant path]

hi i buy a nitro server for me and my friends and i cant find the "PORT"

a only have ip adresse

[granite summit]

Assuming this has been covered somewhere, running a dedicated server in windows. Whenever the server does a mandatory reset, it does not come back online and requires me to stop and start the server via terminal. Any workaround?

[clear lagoon]

It's probably written as ip address colon port, ie 80.81.82.83:12345

Where the part to the left of the : is the ip and to the right is the port

[distant path]

thx 😅

[clear lagoon]

Does the process crash or does the endpoint stop responding?

[clear lagoon]

👀 is this a client or a server log?

[clear lagoon]

There's a lot of overlap. Servers are more likely to have more bugs

[granite summit]

I have it setup as a service, the service shows as running but the server shows offline in game. If I stop and start the service the problem goes away. Been runing the server for a week or so and every morning I have to toggle this setting. At this point I'm help temped to run a bat at 12:01 am to 'solve' this.

[clear lagoon]

The blueprint designer save and clear trick can work as a preventive measure. If anything is left behind in the designer after the clear, delete the blueprint and start over.

[somber terrace]

Got it, will try that and pop a save before we stamp anything

Any idea if this bug is present in listen servers?

[clear lagoon]

Listen servers?

[somber terrace]

When you host and play on the same machine; non-dedicated servers

[clear lagoon]

You mean the regular multiplayer feature? It can even occur in single player, it's just much less likely to happen

[clear lagoon]

If this is on windows, run these commands next time it happens so we have an idea of what's happening:

Get-NetTCPConnection | Where {($_.State -eq "Listen") -And ($_.LocalPort -eq 7777)}

Get-NetUDPEndPoint | Select-Object LocalAddress, LocalPort, @{Name="Process";Expression={(Get-Process -Id $_.OwningProcess).ProcessName}} | Sort-Object -Property LocalPort,Process | Where-Object{$_.Process -like "FactoryServer-Win64-Shipping-Cmd"}

[clear lagoon]

really long conveyor chain actors have rendering issues if their primary transform coordinate is outside of rendering range

[clear lagoon]

You can also recover broken saves by manually editing them in SCIM

[somber terrace]

It is kind of hard to recognize when it is broken, the game slowly seems to die, parts disappear and then some players can reconnect and others can’t but all this is good to know. Unfortunately in my player group I’m the only one that can figure out SCIM so it’s very inconvenient- hope they fix this.

[clear lagoon]

afaik there was supposed to be one more hotfix in the pipeline, so hopefully that fixes all the blueprint issues

[night terrace]

Hey, our save game got corrupted earlier today, we get stuck on the loading screen, or the server crashes when we try. Been searching around and think it's a blueprint issue.
My friend told me he was doing stuff with a new blueprint and it acted weird.
Been trying to look at it in SCIM and by running the save locally (with severe performance issues).
Deleting the blueprint designer, and the built blueprint instance doesn't seem to work. And when I try to clear the designer in a local game it crashes

How does the save and clear trick work?

[clear lagoon]

preventive: if you save a blueprint and then clear the designer, and anything is left behind inside the blueprint designer even though you cleared it, the blueprint you just saved is broken

is the server crashing or just lagging really badly? If it's the latter you probably have corrupt power grid connections on a blueprint

[night terrace]

Can't connect or crashes on restart/when attempting to connect. I can start the latest save files locally, but it laggs badly then

[clear lagoon]

if the original blueprint is still in the designer, the SCIM tool will render wires from all placed down copies of the blueprint to the copy in the designer

[unborn haven]

i have loads of conveyors in one area and seems the belts freeze up

[clear lagoon]

if it's not placed down I'm not sure you'll visibly see the problematic connections in SCIM. In-game you might be able to find power poles with cables going to the center of the map

if it's crashing it's corrupt conveyors which are easier to clear out in SCIM since 1) it prints the IDs of the crashing buildables in the server crash log, and 2) there's a script for fixing that 😛

[unborn haven]

dont think its server side issue

frozen then it unfreezes

[night terrace]

And yeah, logs is complaining about circuits;

When looking at the blueprint designer ingame, it seems to be weirdly linked to a built instance. The blueprint was of a smelter array and the components lists >1000 ore, ingots and plates which should not be required for the buildings but is probably loaded in the built blueprint and on belts connected to it

[clear lagoon]

Delete the incorrectly wired buildables

[night terrace]

I haven't really used SCIM before, I managed to delete the blueprint stuff, how do I follow the problematic circuit networks?

[clear lagoon]

If you know what blueprint it was, just dismantle all placed copies

Or delete them from scim

here's an example of a wire going from a placed blueprint to its designer #dedicated-servers message

[night terrace]

Tried that, but there seems to be something residual left. The blueprint component lists ingredients that should not belong to the blueprint itself, like 4 blenders

[clear lagoon]

don't try to fix broken blueprints. delete the files. build them from scratch

you can salvage your save, the corrupt blueprints themselves are not salvageable unless you have a save with the original in the designer and no copies placed down yet

[night terrace]

Oh yeah I am, just using it for comparison to explain the problem

[clear lagoon]

Here's a screenshot where the issue happens to be visible in game #dedicated-servers message

[night terrace]

First pic of problematic BP designer, second showing BP instance, third both deleted. It's just a smelter array. From the components in the forth pic it seems that there's a belt filled with plates and possibly 4 blenders linked that is still somehow connected to the BP

I have the circuit ID's from the log, how can I trace the belts/and or poles in SCIM?

[clear lagoon]

Show only power poles and hub like buildings. Look at the color for the circuit. See if it crosses into a blueprint designer on the map

[night terrace]

I've uploaded the save after deleting the stuff in thrid pic, but the issues remain

Can't find anything obvious like the examples you linked

[clear lagoon]

If the other end of the wire is already deleted it's not going to be visually visible in SCIM

[night terrace]

I'm compareing with the unedited save and can't find anything obvious there either

[clear lagoon]

Filter to only show power cables and blueprint designers. Start from a zoomed in perspective on the designers

If they were already cleared from designers you can't find it visually

[night terrace]

My firend mentioned something about editing and resaving the BP in the designer, so might be gone then

[clear lagoon]

I can take a look at the save later if you want me to

[night terrace]

Would be lovely, or I can stream and point you in the direction of the troublesome stuff in SCIM

[clear lagoon]

If you don't mind you can dm me your save. I'll take a look at it myself after dinner

[arctic lotus]

how do i log into my router.. if my router/wifi blocks the website i need to go to

[clear lagoon]

Contact your ISP or installer of the device for support

[heady inlet]

nvm just startet

[plucky edge]

Alright, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I switched to fiber today but I am using the same router. Port forwarding is still set correctly on the correct device & the firewall settings are all good. Only thing that has changed is my ip. I re added the server with the current ip but the server is still listed as offline. Any suggestions?

[clear lagoon]

did the server get a new internal IP address from DHCP?

[plucky edge]

internal appears to be the same as well. I have checked and double checked, but all appears the same. Even went in the forwarding settings and re added them to the internal ip to just to be sure.

It's listening on the correct ports

[clear lagoon]

just to confirm, are you connecting from outside the LAN to the server, connecting to the server from inside the LAN using its internal IP, or do you have a NAT reflection setup going on?

[plucky edge]

I'm connecting from inside. It's running on a second pc

[clear lagoon]

connecting using the internal IP?

[plucky edge]

external. I'll try internal to see if same is happening, but I've always used external

[clear lagoon]

this is unusual since NAT reflection is off by default on most routers

if it worked on your old router you had NAT reflection enabled and configured properly, most likely

[plucky edge]

I'm still using the same router, only thing that has changed now is the addition of the ont for fiber and obviously the ip has changed

[clear lagoon]

have you rebooted the router since?

[plucky edge]

No I have not. lol, I will give that a shot as well. I've been tunnel visioned on it and haven't done that yet.

should have done that already. lol

[plucky edge]

Ok, I can join with the internal ip just fine, but will outside connections be able to as well? I have a couple friends that play with me

[clear lagoon]

if your port forwarding is still correct, yes

[plucky edge]

Alright, sounds good. Thanks for the help.

[fading pulsar]

using the docker wolveix container, my players are having blank names. I peeked in just now and I saw Koba here join and it looked like " : has joined " they also had it give them a new player instead of their old one after a disconnect (They may have a bad connection too)

one blank is a third unnamed player and one blank is other Koba

[chrome pumice]

If people join to quickly after disconnecting then they will be given a new body.

[plucky edge]

Ok, so no luck with outside connections using either external or internal ip

[clear lagoon]

what's the first two bytes of your external IP?

[plucky edge]

67

[clear lagoon]

windows or linux server?

[plucky edge]

windows

[clear lagoon]

did the network type on the server change from public to private or vice versa? do you have firewall rules set for both ports?

[deep turret]

I would suggest try to get the ont address and/or check the actual router wan one

[plucky edge]

The firewall rules are set, let me check the network type on the server

[deep turret]

too often "ont" is technically an other router

[clear lagoon]

just to verify: you're using the external IP as shown in i.e. checkip.amazonaws.com ? the WAN IP on your router is identical to that IP?

[plucky edge]

I was trying to figure out if the ont was acting as a router as well, but from what I could gather it isn't? but may it is?

[clear lagoon]

you'd have to check in the WAN interface of your router settings

[deep turret]

even some sfp modules have their own interfaces

[fading pulsar]

traceroute from the outside?

[clear lagoon]

stops at the WAN IP

[deep turret]

that's not going to work well

yes

[fading pulsar]

aaaah

[deep turret]

either invisible to tracerout or unconsidered

[somber terrace]

Tried to learn from this example, but I think I deleted the blueprint designer before the game broke - I do see in my save a couple of the super long power connections; but those don't seem to be related to the area/BP that broke the save (attached).

any tips on how to identify the part(s) that is broken in this case

Also this spam in logs: [2024.10.07-03.59.53:484][396]LogCircuit: Warning: Tick, circuit '71' has 966 reachable components but only 1 listed. Re-adding reached components.

deleting the power poles in the center of the map can't hurt

it's just one of circuit 115. probably won't cause issues tho

oh hey! looks like my theory was correct

Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.Build_PowerPoleMk1_C_2145706918.PowerConnection

wait nvm

dang it just a glitch with deleting objects

[lament cape]

I fixed it all g

[clear lagoon]

oh I figured it out. that's funny. you may find out you have a wireless constructor

which is producing

Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.Build_ConstructorMk1_C_2145701017 is connected to the power grid with wire Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.Build_PowerLine_C_2145700963
However: wire Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.Build_PowerLine_C_2145700963 connects two power poles:
Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.Build_PowerPoleMk1_C_2145700976.PowerConnection
Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.Build_PowerPoleMk1_C_2145706918.PowerConnection

[noble nova]

Anyone have a way to make the server shutdown/everything stop producing as a conditional based on player idle time or something similar?

[clear lagoon]

@somber terrace also Build_ConstructorMk1_C_2145702158

[somber terrace]

is there a way to search this is scim

Trying to learn how to fish, sorry 😄

oh ya know what I think you're right, it's not that assembler blueprint

this is from a previous autosave

[clear lagoon]

oh, sorry xD 1 sec

[somber terrace]

hmm wait, actually, my current save that works still has these power lines

[clear lagoon]

definitely this one

yes smart of me, red arrow is hard to see

[somber terrace]

I see it, and it's mirrored to the stamp below

but what's weird is that isn't what is crashing the server

[clear lagoon]

it's definitely causing power grid issues

[somber terrace]

gotcha, well I will definitely delete those; just wonder why it doesn't "flare up" until I stamped the other blueprint

[clear lagoon]

oh yeah the other one is like two rows below

looks like they're both connected to the wire that goes to the middle of the map somehow

which is cursed because that connects to a power pole near the constructor, not the constructor itself

[somber terrace]

You are so right

New 1.0 feature

[clear lagoon]

did you happen to load a save or hit the daily restart during that time?

[clear lagoon]

you invented wireless constructor power 😂

[somber terrace]

It's honestly possible... until I couldn't load in I had no idea this was an issue so I was definitely not paying attention. We did have 5 minute autosaves on though, so it's definitely possible

I changed save interval to 20 minutes just to get better coverage, but might help if that is what is causing it

[clear lagoon]

oh, no the root cause is a bug in the blueprint designer. bet you had a power pole in the designer that didn't go away when the designer was cleared

[somber terrace]

It's possible, I had never used the designer before so I might have just deleted it by hand

I deleted those poles and constructors in game and resaved:

does the game actually spawn a power pole in the middle of the map ?

[clear lagoon]

lightweight buildables sticking around is meh. power poles causes performance issues. conveyors, lifts, anything with belt in or outputs causes crashes on dismantle, loading saves and during the daily restarts. rails causes teleporting trains

[clear lagoon]

yes

it's under the terrain

[somber terrace]

solid LOL

[slender sentinel]

I have a question are the server your working on open or no

[somber terrace]

Ooh I selected the middle and it had a conveyor pole too

sus

[clear lagoon]

no, if I would even bother to load anyone else's save it would be with AGS on. not me building catwalks xD

oh also, I forgot to mention, but it might help if you close the build menu during/after auto saves and don't place anything in the blueprint designer at that time. In U8 this bug primarily occurred for me during saves

[somber terrace]

really appreciate teh insight

we were ready to give up on life

also sad to hear it has been going on since U8, ugh

[clear lagoon]

something in 1.0 seems to have made it a lot more prevalent. it was a rare nuisance at worst xD

[noble nova]

anyone have ideas for this?

[clear lagoon]

As far as I know there is no AFK or idle tracking

you can make the server pause when all players have left the game

you could maybe track player positions across autosaves?

[amber ruin]

Hello there! I'm looking into possibly hosting a dedicated server for my friend and me to play on. It would be their first time playing Satisfactory, so I'd like the world to still be available even when I'm not around. However, I've heard a lot about bugs in dedicated servers. If you were going to sherpa a newbie's first time in this game within the next month, would you just stick to regular multiplayer or run a dedicated server? Which do you think would give them a better overall experience?

And for context, I've never messed with one before myself.

[clear lagoon]

If you're gonna be running the server on windows you might run into the issue with the UDP listener crashing, which makes it pretty much as much of a hassle as hosting regular multiplayer sessions

[jade turret]

So, i have had my dedicated up and running for about 90hrs now total, linux ubuntu, and twice now within that timespan the server has crashed and stated dumping core (segmentation fault) i believe it was, what could be the cause for this?

other then that it seems to run fine

[clear lagoon]

We need to see the crash log to determine a cause

or at minimum the end of the crash log, including the full backtrace for the crash

[jade turret]

does it auto log it into a log file automatically? the fault havent happened today or tonight, last time was like yesterday evening i belive, and the first one was about at the same time but saturday

[clear lagoon]

yes, 1 sec

in the server-install-directory/FactoryGame/Saved/Crashes it makes a new folder for every crash that occurs

[jade turret]

ok i have 2 there so that seems to be correct

what do you open them with? standard editor or?

[clear lagoon]

all of it is plain text, except core or minidumps if they are present

note that the log file is usually the full run log file from startup/last log rotation to crash

[jade turret]

ugh, i only know, or well i actually dont, but thats what i was told by a linux guy like a decade to use for basic editing/reading files, and that was emacs, but i pretty much only know how to edit basic lines within it and then save and exit, but i have no clue on how to scroll from within it

and the factorygame.log is like what, a million lines :C

[clear lagoon]

less FactoryGame.log then press shift+G

use pg up/pg down, arrow keys, ... to scroll beyond that

[jade turret]

nice, that seems to be a easier way

so how do i understand the log file? or rather what do you guys need to help me understand? 😉

[clear lagoon]

there's a backtrace in the end of the log indicating the function stack the server was executing when it encountered a critical error

with enough knowledge someone could potentially identify the crash based on known bugs

[jade turret]

0x00007f651995eac3 libc.so.6!UnknownFunction(0x94ac2)
0x00007f65199f0850 libc.so.6!UnknownFunction(0x12684f)

those ?

[clear lagoon]

potentially yes. basically the output from grep 'Critical error' FactoryGame.log -A100

[eager reef]

i assume the items on belts pausing in mergers/splitters is just a visual glitch and doesnt have any real affect on anything?

[clear lagoon]

there are cases where placing splitters on an existing belt and then upgrading that belt will leave a tiny piece of unupgraded belt in the splitter/merger. for the rest it's best to actually look at inventories the belt feed into

[eager reef]

that isnt what i mean at all

when the game is running on the dedicated server items on a belt enterting a splitter or merger will pause and then speed up on the other side. it only happens on my dedicated server

they pause regardless of if there are items on the exit belts

[clear lagoon]

the conveyor chain rendering is only an approximation. this is also impacted by networking so you can see visual speed inconsistencies

[eager reef]

ok, so its weird visual behavior has no affect on actual item thuroughout?

[clear lagoon]

it shouldn't have an impact

[jade turret]

ok, doesnt tell me too much that i can translate with the actual linux skill i have,** but thanks for the help anyway** gonna hit the sack now anyway so i guess i'll leave it for now since it has only occured twice during the weekend and the ded itself has been running for 90+ hrs smooth besides that so all in all good 🙂

[clear lagoon]

if you want you can post that part of the log in this channel and we can potentially tell you what might have happened

[topaz scarab]

eh i have a mk3 miner failing to output all 1200/s onto a mk6 belt

[clear lagoon]

I saw a guy with a chrono meter on a 1200 belt to a storage and I think it was 1100+somethingish per minute for them

was really obvious because the miner filled up very slowly

[eager reef]

is this only an issue on dedicated servers, or standard gmes as well?

[jade turret]

i guess i could, what would be the optimal way to paste it though? a pastebin? considering its alot of text/rows so just plain pasting it here directly in discord it probably something neither of us wants ^^

[clear lagoon]

I believe that was measured in single player

[eager reef]

well that sucks, hope they fix it next patch then

[clear lagoon]

you can just upload the snippet as a text file. don't post URLs since non-whitelisted URLs will have your messages deleted

[clear lagoon]

If you feel it important you can upvote existing issue(s) on the Satisfactory QA site, or if you want to leave new feedback that is also possible. https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

[jade turret]

hopefully it doesnt contain any sensitive information ^^

[clear lagoon]

what version of satisfactory are you running?

is this a pre-1.0 save?

[jade turret]

it was a new 1.0 savegame started this friday

[surreal glen]

Everytime i try to join my dedicated Server my game keeps freezing. And then it crashes

[jade turret]

the ded was made about a year ago, but i updated it this friday with the steamcmd

[clear lagoon]

Haven't seen that crash before myself. looks like it crashed putting something in the internal inventory of a splitter, which is not something you'd usually see crashes on

[clear lagoon]

Is this on an existing save? Do you see anything strange in the server logs? Do you have a crash log from the client crash reporter?

[jade turret]

hmm, i see. well cool to know what happened now, but like i mentioned earlier the crash has onlt happened twice, and i cannot be certain that both the crashes has been the same, the log i gave you was just from the second of the two crashes

[surreal glen]

Ive been playing on it for a while now, nothing changed, no mods or so.

[jade turret]

well, like i said im gonna hit the bed, thanks again for helping me sort out the logs though 🙂 tbf i only wanted to see and make sure it wasn't the server itself the ded is hosted on that made the crash 🙂

[surreal glen]

Where can i get the crash report from?

[clear lagoon]

if this specific crash is a one-off I have no recommendations at this time. have a good night!
when you happen to see lots of random different crashes it can indicate a hardware issue, but we've not enough info to determine that yet

[jade turret]

yup, my taughts exactly. thx 🙂

[clear lagoon]

Crash reports are normally stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\Crashes

just the backtrace is fine if you're concerned about PII

[surreal glen]

Idk i can only send the Folder

Which one of those?

[clear lagoon]

did you press a hotbar key while loading into the game? at first glance it looks like you crashed trying to build a pipe or tube

[surreal glen]

I tried joining the Server like 10 times, never pressed any key

hmmm

im gonna reinstall it

[clear lagoon]

you can try restarting the server and validate the data files

you can also try downloading the save to single player and loading it there. if that works, save it again, upload it in the server manager and load the new save. might help fix it

[surreal glen]

Okay reinstalling didnt work

[somber terrace]

Another question, I have this set: [/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=8

but I still see max 4 in server manager

and 5th player can't join

any tips?

[left radish]

Linux question. Is it ok if the steam user is added to sudo group?
seems like I need it to do things like add the service. I can't CD to the steam user's home directory with another user.

[clear lagoon]

Did you stop the server prior to editing the ini file? What method are you using to run your server?

[somber terrace]

Whoops, I think I put it in engine.ini instead of game.ini

No, but you can override config files with launch parameters using that method

You can put it like that or in the config, whichever you prefer

[somber terrace]

Awesome, thanks - we'll try it in a bit. Pretty sure I just had it in the wrong config file

[clear lagoon]

Needs to be in Game.ini

[surreal glen]

Ngl i think i cant play the game anymore... D:

Hard to play the Game when i can only look at the Titlescreen.

Only thing i could think of is reset my whole PC or buy a new one.

[clear lagoon]

If single player sessions are broken too you might be able to find better help in #1038092680493801533

Most people in this room are more familiar with the server technical side of things. There's some smarter people than us occasionally looking through the questions and help threads

[plucky edge]

alright, very late response to this, sorry, but no. the wan and external do not match. I'm assuming this has something to do with dynamic ips? Is there a workaround other than attempting to get a static ip?

[clear lagoon]

Are you sure your ont isn't functioning as a router? Can you put it in bridge mode?

Again, first half of the displayed WAN IP?

[plucky edge]

Unfortunately, I'm not sure. I was at work when it was installed and didn't get to ask the questions I wanted to. And the first half of the wan is 100 which I assume is a local address right?

[clear lagoon]

I need the second number as well to answer that.

If it's between 100.64.0.0 and 100.127.255.255 this is carrier grade NAT, which means your provider did not issue you with a globally addressable ipv4 address

[plucky edge]

100.101

[clear lagoon]

Meaning you'll have to either use the ipv6 unicast address or lease a globally addressable ipv4 from your provider

Note that entering an ipv6 address in the game client is all kinds of broken right now and it works best combined with a domain or subdomain

[clear lagoon]

That's in the reserved address space for carrier grade NAT deployment

[plucky edge]

Alright, I may just have to switch over to local sessions or just rent a server. A bit above me. lol, but thanks for the replies. Very helpful

[clear lagoon]

Makes me wonder what the point is of ftth if it's combined with some stupid cgnat setup that has who knows how little ports per user

[surreal glen]

Everytime i try to join the Server i was playing on my game starts freezing. (In the Loading screen)

Everyone else can still join and play, when the freezes/crashes first started there was noone on the Server, we changed nothing, i was afk, i have no performance issues, we got no mods, we didnt change anything in the world, no server restarts etc..
I tried reinstalling the game, starting it with DX11, restarting my PC, i verified my game files on steam, deleted the "Temp" Files.
Can anyone help?

[surreal glen]

Noone responded

it seems like noone posted the same problem before on the internet.. D:

[clear lagoon]

Can you still start new single player saves without problems?

[surreal glen]

yeah

i want to try to join a different server to see if that works but i dont have one xD

[clear lagoon]

Have another player on the server kill your pioneer, then try to join again

[surreal glen]

tried that already didnt work

[clear lagoon]

You can ask the server owner if they can try restarting it. Normally having your o pioneer killed should reset its state machine... Maybe the server admin can try and deleting your pioneer character using a save editor like SCIM. You'll lose your hotbars and items though

And any other customization

[surreal glen]

oh about an hour prior my whole character got resetet after my crashed aswell

[clear lagoon]

Is your login to steam or epic still working properly? You're not in offline mode, are you?

[surreal glen]

yeah its all online, do you know if there is like a official support i can maybe contact?
I mean i just bought the game and its just simply not working

[clear lagoon]

You can leave feedback on the QA site. I'm not sure if there's an official support channel you can reach out to for help.
If the game is still working in single player it's possible it's an issue on the server end

We'd need feedback from the server admin to look into that either way

[surreal glen]

any way i can like change accounts or so?

i dont need the items in my characte

log into a different epic account?

idk how im logged into epic games anyway

[clear lagoon]

Only if you want to buy the game a second time

[surreal glen]

playing on a pc where i only installed steam and discord....

i got the game over steam

[clear lagoon]

Same thing. You log in with a steam session then. Ultimately doesn't make a difference

Just to make sure: you're not sharing the steam account with another player playing on the same server?

[surreal glen]

no

[clear lagoon]

Well, good luck. Feel free to let us know how troubleshooting with the server admin went. He can always join in here as well if he's got any questions or needs any help

[surreal glen]

Alright we will try some stuff.

Btw why is satisfactory using 60GB of RAM??

is there a way to cap that?

okay you know what im gonna do?
im gonna create a second steam account and then share the game with that new account

[clear lagoon]

It shouldn't be using anywhere near that much. The entire game isn't that large

[thorny gulch]

Our friend no matter what cant seem to connect to our server, we have the timeout settings set to 500 seconds

tying to set up a steamCMD server so I can play on a seperate device I host from, and Ive only gotten to this point

this is the command I used:

[topaz scarab]

nice install dir

[sacred citrus]

Fwiw I found your issue via the qa site and managed to pin point it. This gap in your power storage building on the north-east.
If you delete the battery to the north of the gap it fixes it.
(There is another break in the north-west corner 2nd level of that blueprint (so both levels here) reducing your capacity but not frame rate

I know you guys seem to have fixed it here (and I'd like to learn how you found it when I have time to reread above) I was just happy to find it myself.

[stark bane]

See this is why I need to stop and read what the hell Im doing instead of just punching text in and hoping it works

After I fix the install location Im stuck still hehe

actually I think I figured it out

Thanks!

Now that its running wth is this?

[opal dawn]

system clock probably not right

[stark bane]

fixed that, same result

heres what the server looks like

[verbal sundial]

my man, thanks for replying to me and looking it up and also giving me this solution. beautiful move on your part, thanks a LOT!!

[topaz scarab]

stop server, delete settings sav, start server

[stark bane]

setings.data?

not finding any other settings stuff

although theres nothing in that file

[topaz scarab]

ServerSettings.7777.sav probably

[stark bane]

Thank you kind internet strangers

I believe I have gotten it functional

So its running... but not to the external network... I have TCP/UDP port 7777 forwarded to the LabWorkstation, and I have inbound rules allowing TCP/UDP port 7777

[topaz scarab]

first number in your external ip 100?

[stark bane]

public IP? no

136

I understand basic networking but its been a fair bit since Ive applied it

But I have it running and can access it using a local (private) IP, but not with external (public) IP address

It just says the server appears offline if I use the public address

[topaz scarab]

if you're hitting your external ip from lan, check your port forward settings for nat loopback

[stark bane]

not familiar with nat loopback

But I believe I have all the necessary ports forwarded correctly

and allowed through firewall

Still looking through google for my issue but I dont exactly know what im looking for

[stark bane]

It works on vpn!

Thank you all for your help

apparantly it was just being weird

Hi everyone, we're trying to run a new dedicated server and getting absolutely unplayable lag spikes. The cli is riddled with "LogNetPlayerMovement: Warning: ServerMove: TimeStamp expired: " warnings constantly

pings are 30ms then spike to 1000ms

this was the same server we used for previous versions without issues

searched everywhere online and QA with no similar results

its an 8core VM with 32gb of RAM on a gigabit connection

[deep turret]

local ?

did you check machine time syncing ?

[lyric vine]

hi everyone , i have a similar problem as the most , Server name pending Not Authenticated. anyone who can help?

[thorny sinew]

So, working on a big electronics factory.. will output 1.875 super computer, 10 computers, 5 Ai limiters, 10 cyrstal oscillators and 5 high speed connectors per min. Problem is, I am left with a ton of Heavy oil residue. Now, I plan to go nuclear in the nearish future, but i was thinking I could make turbo fuel and run 400 fuel gens, with some still left over... oe just pack it ans sink it... any other thoughts?

[clear lagoon]

my main thought is you're probably looking for #math-and-meta or #1038092680493801533 😛

[thorny sinew]

Doh, I wasn't paying attention. Meant to ask that in general. Sorry. A bit sleep deprived lol. Damn this game 😏

[clear lagoon]

are you running the server on the same computer or the same local network as the game? what method are you using to run the server?

[lyric vine]

hi , its on nitrado

[clear lagoon]

Are you entering the ip and port in the separate fields correctly in the server manager?

[lyric vine]

yes

[lyric vine]

i fixed it , i used the subdomain and not the IP and it magically worked , just as you wrote it , it gave me the idea of subdomain inste4ad of the ip

but still the ip isnt working for me

[clear lagoon]

If the server shows as online/running on their dashboard and you can't connect with the details your vendor provided you'll need to contact them

[lyric vine]

really thank you for taking your time and helping me

[plush creek]

what is default satisfactory port of satisfactory dedicated server?

atleast all ports bc for firewall 🙂

Anyone?

[bronze frost]

It's all 7777 ain't it?

[regal marsh]

yes 7777 both udp and tcp
thats the only port used since 1.0

[twilit fox]

I saw mention of a desire to suspend dedi when no one is playing and wake it up when someone tries to connect.. this project seems to handle the waking of the server https://github.com/Gibus21250/Wakupator/

you'll still need a way to determine if someone is playing, and suspend the machine though.

[regal marsh]

but there is an ingame function to pause server when players disconnect
in server settings

its also on by default

unless you actually mean to sleep the whole machine

[twilit fox]

People want things for different reasons lol. That doesn't fit my use case personally because I run everything in pve in vm's and containers

The github project I posted is to wake a machine that was sleeping when someone tries to connect.

[crystal eagle]

Guys my ISP changed my wan address now i cannot access my server in game and I've forgotten my admin PW, where does the server files reside to reset my admin password? thanks

Is it the GameUserSettings.ini I have to delete?

found it thanks

[inner cliff]

anyone know how to fix a segmentation error when the server restarts?

im currently trying to get the error log

att the very end of this log

other files idk if will help

[clear lagoon]

you have a corrupt conveyor belt connection, most likely from a bugged blueprint you're using.

 Assertion failed: mConnectedComponent->IsConnected() [File:.\../../FactoryGame/Source/FactoryGame/Private/FGFactoryConnectionComponent.cpp] [Line: 135] 
Attempted to disconnect an already disconnected connection: FGFactoryConnectionComponent /Game/FactoryGame/Map/GameLevel01/Persistent_Level.Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.Build_AssemblerMk1_C_2147421299.Input1 <-> FGFactoryConnectionComponent /Game/FactoryGame/Map/GameLevel01/Persistent_Level.Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.Build_ConveyorLiftMk5_C_2147421179.ConveyorAny1

The only way to remove those misconnected conveyors is by using an external save editing tool such as the Satisfactory Calculator Interactive Map https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map
Note that the same buildables in all placed copies of the blueprint will have the same issue. You should also stop using this blueprint. You most likely cannot load it into a blueprint designer.

[inner cliff]

oh i know exactly which one it is since it says assembler

couple days ago we figured out one of hte blueprints was crashing the server, an assembler bluepritn lol

thank you

[inner cliff]

how would i do that?

is there a debug option in the scim

[clear lagoon]

You can load a savefile into the map and delete the buildables from the map

[inner cliff]

ah shit thats a lot of deleting

[clear lagoon]

Reminder: always backup your saves before modifying them.
If you don't know where all the problematic buildables are, you can try running this script on SCIM in the browser devtools after loading your save: https://github.com/SparxySys/satisfactory-scripts/blob/main/scim-helpers/delete-asymmetric-factory-connections.js

[inner cliff]

do you know how this can happpen? i know sometimes when i save and clear a blueprint, sometimes a belt is cleared, meaning that a belt wasnt savedw

or just random

[clear lagoon]

I think if you place down buildables during moments of high load on the server (i.e. during saves or when building really fast) it will sometimes not properly attach the buildable to the blueprint designer.
When this happens, as you already saw, clearing the blueprint designer will leave this buildable behind.
If this is a conveyor, machine, storage, tube, pipe, power pole, .... this means the blueprint will have connections stored to an improperly saved buildable, which can cause differing issues depending on what kind of buildable.
Lightweight buildables (foundations, walls) are normally not problematic

[tiny helm]

Hello, I wanted to get a bit into hosting my own world on my own server that'd run 24/7, but I am a bit confused,
Do I need a steam account to host my own dedicated server on linux? (I don't trust my security enough to log in with my personal steam on the server).

[clear lagoon]

No. Satisfactory Dedicated Server is freely available and can be downloaded via anonymous login in SteamCMD.

[tiny helm]

That's great! thank you for anwsering.

[regal marsh]

btw you could always try asking your ISP for a static IP
some will give you for free, others paid, or others dont give
but never hurts to ask
if you are hosting anything, its a good enough reason to ask

mine gave static for free

otherwise every time your router reestablishes connection (e.g. restart), you get a new one

[clear lagoon]

and on top of that, save your password in your password manager or something

[inner cliff]

how do i know the object id that causing the crash?

[umbral oracle]

wait, where is that?
nvm, i think i found it via https://steamdb.info/app/526870/linked/

PersistentLevel.Build_ConveyorLiftMk5_C_2147421179 and possibly the connected assembler PersistentLevel.Build_AssemblerMk1_C_2147421299

[fleet hearth]

I have a Dedicated server in which playes recently got kicked and when rejoin it act like a completely new player joined any idea what might be causing this?

[umbral oracle]

the id is not the same, might be 0 if the connection to the main db is (temporarily) down.

[inner cliff]

ty, i ran the script, it says its deleting stuff, how will i know when its done?

[clear lagoon]

when it stops deleting new things. shouldn't take long

[inner cliff]

oh okay, it didnt delete the assemblers, should i delete those too?

[clear lagoon]

ah yes past me decisions coming to bite me in the rear end xD uhh, can you open an assembler's debug view on the input1 tab and see if it still has a connection to a conveyor stored?

[inner cliff]

the thing is i cant open the assembler cause its on the 1st floor of a 3 floor building

unless theres a way to peel back layers

[clear lagoon]

on the right-hand side there's a height range slider

[clear lagoon]

ah I wouldn't know how to find it in the GUI since it doesn't show up as its own store entry. the app id is 1690800

[inner cliff]

this is one of the bugged assemblers after i ran the code

[clear lagoon]

input1 tab, expand properties, expand mConnectedComponent, value

[clear lagoon]

the little arrow button on the left to expand a section 🙏

[inner cliff]

this? thanks for being patient lol

[umbral oracle]

it's already in my library. Wiki explained it, it's a "tool"

although they DID leave an u8 image for it 😏

[clear lagoon]

if that is one of the bad assemblers then they'd need to be deleted too. I just pushed an update to include any buildables with the word Input or Output, hopefully it doesn't delete anything excessive

[inner cliff]

the id for the connected one is a different id, unless thats corrupted too?

[topaz scarab]

exit out of the steam user first

[clear lagoon]

if it's the same assembler (the one in the same spot inside the blueprint) in a different copy of the blueprint, they'll have the same issue

[tiny helm]

Did I do something wrong? I'm at the steamcmd section of the wiki.
My server is running Ubuntu 22.04LTS desktop.

ok ty

[topaz scarab]

or give steam sudo perms

[clear lagoon]

`* don't give steam sudo perms

ok then, I must've missed something in the wiki, thx

i received this error when running the code

[topaz scarab]

nope, they kinda assume you'd know

if you don't mind, can you send me the save file via DM? guess I got something wrong

What is the difference between installing everything manually and getting the wolvex's docker that the wiki recommends? just that the docker is an all-in-one pacpage that has simple configuration?

[clear lagoon]

Players can only join servers via the server manager menu because the system is separate from the normal multiplayer

[gaunt flint]

oh, ok ty

[wary bane]

docker is like a VM, its a small container (or small virtual machine) where it has everything it needs

people usually use it to avoid conflicts in different program versions installed on their machine and ease of management

[tiny helm]

so there's no real difference between me downloading everything manually and docker? I have no conflicts in program versions

[wary bane]

not really, you either run the server straight on your machine, or in a closed enviorment, like docker

if you dont run multiple servers / things from your machine i would say the easier option is just download the files

[tiny helm]

[wary bane]

if you use linux you can also use LinuxGSM which provides easy install scripts for a bunch of server including Satisfactory

else you can follow the wiki or whatev

linuxgsm.com/servers/sfserver/

[clear lagoon]

looks like it runs fine. must have been a problem with running it twice

[inner cliff]

can u send the file after the code ran?

appreciate it

[twilit fox]

Why not, lol

Yeah, if just want a server on the machine and that's it, normal install is fine. If you want to do multiple things, look into docker, or proxmox

[clear lagoon]

The less avenues you have for privilege escalation, the less chance there is that a privilege escalation attack ever succeeds

[twilit fox]

If you're going the proxmox route, I'll be seeing you in the homelab servers

[wary bane]

why use proxmox for something so small lol

[clear lagoon]

keep your attack surface as small as possible

[topaz scarab]

"small"

[twilit fox]

Considering that the satisfactory shows up as a webpage, my server is getting poked like a pin cushion.

[twilit fox]

Doing multiple servers, or just other stuff with the machine. Or maybe you need a HA satisfactory server

[twilit fox]

Please explain HA with docker

[wary bane]

HA as in HAproxy?

[twilit fox]

High availability

[wary bane]

lmao

easy bro

[clear lagoon]

note that container escapes are real and that default installs of docker run as root

[wary bane]

Docker is insecure anyway

better use Podman or Lxc

[clear lagoon]

same difference, right?

[wary bane]

but that's for like more advanced users i feel like

[clear lagoon]

afaict the podman-cli is essentially identical to the docker one except for it not automagically prefixing dockerhub to everything

[wary bane]

A good point of refference is that RHEL uses podman by default

[clear lagoon]

:3

❯ docker ps
zsh: command not found: docker
❯ podman ps
CONTAINER ID  IMAGE       COMMAND     CREATED     STATUS      PORTS       NAMES

I may be paranoid, but that doesn't mean they're not after me 😂

I've followed some wiki's and youtube tutorials and I'm stuck, what do I do now?

I've ran . FactoryServer.sh, forgot to mention

[topaz scarab]

fuckin zoomers and their youtube tutorials

[tiny helm]

I'm sorry

[topaz scarab]

so did you add the server's public or internal ip

[tiny helm]

tried internal and public

[topaz scarab]

and is the server on the lan or hosted elsewhere

[tiny helm]

lan, the server is on my own network, other services on it seem to work, hold on and let me try something

[clear lagoon]

please ensure you entered your internal IP and the server port correctly, ensure the server is actually running, if you have any firewalls installed on the server allow ports 7777 TCP and 7777 UDP in

[topaz scarab]

or you could give em a checklist sure

[twilit fox]

Lol... I feel like a video waste so much time vs reading..

[clear lagoon]

hm does discord do markdown checkboxes?
-[ ] test

aww. sads

[twilit fox]

As well as everything else.. check to make sure the server is actually running

[tiny helm]

I'm so sorry for making this trouble and annoying everyone, just had to disable some of my network based security.

[twilit fox]

If so, try systemctl stop ufw

[clear lagoon]

beginning to feel like I'm shouting into the void here, but please don't turn off the firewall of internet connected devices in its entirety

[twilit fox]

If that works, go to the wiki and read how to add a ufw firewall rule.

It'll be fine for a quick test

[clear lagoon]

it's a really bad habit you should never take up

[tiny helm]

no, the fix was disabling port isolation and disabling mirroring the servers ethernet port to my router in the switch's settings, I was not replying because I was loading my switch's interface

sorry, it takes a minute to load the interface

[clear lagoon]

no worries, that comment was mostly re: the message of turning off ufw if it is installed

[twilit fox]

Port isolation is probably not what you want.

[topaz scarab]

ubuntu doesn't even enable ufw by default does it

[twilit fox]

Use a seperare vlan, and firewall that vlan of to only allow incoming connections from your local network

[tiny helm]

It was there because I've once gotten my rented server hacked by leaving ssh open with all ports forwarded, just a habit, it's been a long time ago and everything is secured properly

[clear lagoon]

ubuntu also isn't primarily a commercial server solution xD

[twilit fox]

Well.. that's what you deserve

Live and learn

But port isolation does some screwy stuff that you'll better accomplish your goals by using a seperate vlan with firewall rules only allowing incoming and established traffic to your Lan.

[tiny helm]

I've kind of rushed to get the server (the whole server, not satisfactory hosting) working, I'm just happy it works for now

thanks to everyone for help

[topaz scarab]

homepage sure looks like they're trying

[clear lagoon]

pretty sure the paid solutions would have a firewall enabled by default 😛

besides canonical is a commercial entity

wonder when they'll rename to SnapOS or something

oh snap! another package that doesn't run properly anymore 🤣

[spiral dust]

is there a tutorial or wiki for how servers are set up?

[deep mortar]

Look at the top of the chat.

[solar tree]

Anyone know how to set up a server that me and a family member can play on? I am on Epic and my family member is on steam.

[topaz scarab]

should try reading the wiki

[misty urchin]

your alias/name 🤣

[misty urchin]

at the top of that wiki;
"Game clients from both the Epic and Steam game stores can connect and play on dedicated servers regardless of where the server binaries were downloaded"

there are steps for setting up a server on windows and linux

[topaz scarab]

lol spoonfeeding, let em read the wiki

[solar tree]

Not sure I can set up a dedicated server, tying to use the cross play option in the multiplayer settings.

[topaz scarab]

ooh don't know anything about that one

[solar tree]

Anyone know anything about using that?

[topaz scarab]

might find better help in one of the other channels, or maybe someone will chime in here

[misty urchin]

i think if you're just trying to join each other you both need epic accounts set up and if you're on steam then you need to link epic to steam. after that you should be able to join via the epic friends list. but im on steam and am not sure.

[solar tree]

I have my epic account linked up to the steam account he is joining on.

[regal marsh]

a server accepts either epic or steam players
you dont need to do anything special for that
do you actually mean some kind of family account sharing the game or something?

[solar tree]

So I share a steam account with my dad who is trying to play it with me. I am playing on my epic account linked to the steam account (Signed into it via Satisfactory). It keeps kicking him out of the server when he attempts to join.

[regal marsh]

yeah not sure about that
I guess technically they both need to use the epic games online services

[solar tree]

Huh?

My brain is swamped on this.

[solar tree]

What do you mean by this?

[misty urchin]

do you own two copies of the game? one on steam and one on epic?

[regal marsh]

that satisfactory on steam needs to be linked to epic account to be able to play online, because it uses epic games online services to communicate
which probably means that both are trying to use the same thing linked to the same account

its more that epic would have to support family sharing I guess (and 1 account twice on same game)

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66ec1617772a987f4a8ba254

[solar tree]

Yes.

[regal marsh]

well you just said you share a steam account

[solar tree]

Yes, I share a steam account with the game.

Then my epic account has the game.

[regal marsh]

you never bought it on epic, right?

[solar tree]

We are trying to cross play.

Me on epic him on steam.

[regal marsh]

if you have bought it on epic
and he has it on steam bought
you should have probably never linked those accounts together
the steam account should have created another epic account to link to

if that is the case
then I guess this is an unlink form
https://satisfactorygame.com/unlinkme

the steam account should create new epic account and link that one
not yours

you dont need to link accounts from steam together with epic account to crossplay

[solar tree]

The steam account is not linked, only my epic account is.

[regal marsh]

then the steam account needs to be linked to play online
to some new epic account

[solar tree]

The epic account is linked to the steam account he is playing on, he does not have a linked account if that changes anything.

[solar tree]

^

[misty urchin]

it sounds like you may want to try to link things differently. you may need to unlink steam from epic, create a new epic account and link that to steam instead.
him: Steam account where you own a copy of the game linked to a new Epic account
you: Epic account where you own a copy of the game

[solar tree]

Ok.

building pipes crashes dedicated server, able to reproduce multiple times

[regal marsh]

might want to put that on
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/
(and also check whether its not already there)
thats where the devs look and expect to get stuff reported
but you might want to describe better what exactly happened
just building pipes does not cause a crash, there must be something more to it

[coarse quest]

Remote server

Yes it is accurate

[ionic verge]

guys i'm sorry to ask u this cuz i know u have a lots of request i just make my own serv with steamCMD. I have an epic acc and my friends are on steam
after following a long tuto i'm stuck in the maps but my friends can't join

i don't know if u can help me i tried for a full 4 hours

[topaz scarab]

during setup, did you read the wiki at all

[cinder solar]

did you port forward

[random quiver]

Paid for a dedicated server from G-Portal to play with friends. Why does it say single player on this screen? How do I change it to multiplayer?

I do not see any settings to change it from single player in the server settings.

[proper remnant]

this shouldn't matter for dedicated

[random quiver]

Thank you, it had me quite confused.

[severe bison]

im trying to join my friends server and when i put in the ip and port and a noise happens then nothing

[hidden veldt]

hey i start a new server and i got this error message when i try to join it anoyne got solution ?

[proven notch]

did you open ports and set port forwarding on your router?

[proper remnant]

hi if it's a dedicated server you need to use the server manager, direct IP connection won't work

[royal warren]

it's absolutely a bit confusing

[distant relic]

I'm contemplating renting a dedicated server to host a multiplayer game my friend has been hosting on his PC. I think the easiest way for me to start the server would be for him to send me his save file and for me to upload it to the manager and my associated server. I however have read on reddit that when a player sends their save to another player then the server is started one players built items will disappear. Is this the case with a dedicated server? Will all of one of our progress be lost?

[thorny dew]

It shouldn't happen for dedicated servers, but keep a backup in case things go wrong

[deep turret]

it's like a visual bug
the reason is that the save is actually a single player one
but being on a dedicated server override that completely
the setting is only used for when you run the save on a local game, to know if your friends can join you in multi-player or not
when on server everyone is simply a remote player

[crystal eagle]

@regal marsh Thanks I'll try that

[lunar kelp]

Hey legends,
Playing on a private dedicated for a friend and myself - started noticing that opening the build menu is generating a hefty little stutter/lag spike for about 1-2 seconsd every time I open it. Fiddled with settings to no use but when I dug in the server console i found this error gets spammed every time the build menu is opening.
Haven't found any other posts about it, so wanted to see on here if anyone knew anything? Not even sure if it's dedicated-server specific, but I assume so:

[frosty gale]

has anyone made like a web panel for satisfactory servers yet

[topaz scarab]

to do / that does ?

[tough portal]

like this?

i can access this via web browser from anywhere in the world to manage my servers

[unique gorge]

try deleting the file within your game files and repair the instance through steam or else
if i keeps happening open a ticket i guess

[frosty gale]

I meant more like a specific rcon panel

That uses satisfactories api

[chilly sky]

Will there be a paid service directly from coffee stain studio to host a server for multi-player in the future???

[silk wind]

doubt it, only game ive seen that happen to is literally the most popular game in the world

[ionic verge]

i was sleeping tk for the tip i'm trying this when i m back

[cinder solar]

dm me if you have issues

[tough portal]

It can do rcon as well, if I recall... that was just main dashboard

[cosmic arch]

is this maybe a bug on the client side? Anybody else has having blenders not moving?

[frosty gale]

ok something that isnt amp, I should clarify

[cinder crest]

I don't have a fix sorry, but I can confirm for you that I've also had the same issue and logs on my dedi- not just a you issue. If you do make a ticket please ping me if you remember

[dreamy timber]

can i import my single player world to a dedi server keep getting adchievements ?

[proper remnant]

yes

[tame lantern]

After multiple trial and errors. We are no longer doign a server. This has been the worse dedicated server experience my group has had to deal with ever. For what ever reason we are running into crashes, frequent disconnects, server ping skyrocketing, its so painfully frustrating i no longer want to play on a dedicated server. We have optimized settings we have changed just about everything. Its pretty garbage. I've played on overflowing Gmod servers with less rubber banding or no rubber banding. Everything I've looked into hasn't helped anyone in the group im playing with.

I borderline near quit after my game crashed after i died from rubber banding randomly. I have never been this frustrated with the game before. The person hosting has hosted other dedicated servers without these kinds of issues but then again networking isnt something i understand. Ive only played on a dedicated server one other time for satisfactory and even that felt awful. My ping is stable, speeds were fine and so were the hosts. I have no idea how to keep the game fun without getting a headache because DC and lose everything because my body clips under the map and i lose stuff.

[versed sentinel]

servers have huge issues but they dont seem to care

4 weeks now almost and nothing

with dedicated servers port issues

[dreamy timber]

and how can i export my world

[proper remnant]

you can upload your save to your dedi directly in game via the server manager

[proper remnant]

what port issue ?

[regal marsh]

in my experience, very playable
just some minor issues which are not gamebreaking (now at nuclear, buildings all over the map)

I did start to see tickrate dropping under 30 just recently (ryzen 7700)
down to around 25
although 2 players and server also have rates above ultra
it does still return back to 28/30
its just momentary sometimes
had more players early on, but now around 2-3

it does seem like it might be reaching the point where the tick will just go down

[versed sentinel]

server stops listening to port if host leaves

its pretty bad

everybody leaves and all players get timed out

has got like 50 comments and 150 upvotes

~4 weeks

[regal marsh]

oh and btw, if you die off the map, before you respawn, change in settings to keep inventory
it only applies to you
then you spawn and you keep it

(I only got off map because one guy built a hypertube launcher and I charged inside it for too long, went to the moon 🤣)

[versed sentinel]

#1283191576641798144

[tame lantern]

This doesnt work if you dc. We have been having issues with people clipping with cars and their characters off the map and everything gets erased. That setting doesnt work at all to solve that problem.

[tame lantern]

also an issue that we cant solve so we are just not doing dedicated anymore

[regal marsh]

didnt have issues with cars
I did see them sometimes go weird and have the wheels disappear and the model just flies through the ground
if I leave the area and come back, they are fine
only happened rarely to me so far

no issues with automated ones

(played maybe 200 hours...server has over 300)

[tame lantern]

idk what to tell you. I wish server was the only issue i had but of the group i have, only 1 person actually wants to try to "play the game" and figure out how things work.

the other people have literally shoved quickwire into a resource sink and then sat there and stared at it while watching youtube. I swear this is probably the dumbest playthrough ive done of this game. I really wish there was a solution for the server aspect. Then i could leave those idiots behind.

[noble sluice]

If it is a server issue, then it would happened to all serveres...

[ionic verge]

@cinder solar @proven notch ty for the help i find it was hard cuz of some france law but it was the forward port ty

[west plinth]

If I were to build a new PC for hosting satisfactory, among other things, is there any reason to not go with a mini itx build? particularly since it wont be needing a gpu?

[proven notch]

I built a 8600g with 64 gigs of ram on an mini ATX board. So an itx is fine.

[proven notch]

What is your ticket rate? Where is your server hosted? We saw a lot of issues like this at my friend's house. He didn't have the upload speed. I started to host no issues other than the server crashing with the "out of memory" error. I wrote a script that checks to see if it's running every 60 seconds and will launch it if it's not.

[winged solstice]

cooling could be hard, but without a GPU it should be very fine regardless.

[cloud bridge]

I'm running my server off a laptop with a Ryzen 6800u. Works perfect and only pulls 7 watts when running the server. any modern cpu should work just fine as long as it has integrated graphics.

[spice lion]

doesnt need integrated graphics wot are you on about

[cloud bridge]

You need some kind of graphics to get it set up.

some motherboards will not even boot if they don't detect some type of graphic capable chip.

[spice lion]

for. a server?

[spice lion]

thats hardware dependent though.

[cloud bridge]

sure you could set it up in a headless environment but why not just get a cpu with integrated. It makes troubleshooting a lot easier

[spice lion]

i assumed you were referring to dedicated server. honestly using a headless environment is fine though once its setup

[cloud bridge]

most cpus come with some type of apu anyways so it's not like it's harder to find one

[spice lion]

yeah

[cloud bridge]

I just have a laptop I got off Ebay running it and I remote into it using Parsec. That's what I find to be the easiest

[spice lion]

hm

i have it running on an old thinkpad i no longer use so i pulled all the batts out

[cloud bridge]

what's the cpu?

[spice lion]

its used as a basic services thing on my network anyway i just setup pterodactyl panel

a like

5300u lol

it was more for testing purposes than an actual server

[cloud bridge]

ryzen I'm assuming?

[spice lion]

intel

[cloud bridge]

WOAH

[spice lion]

its very old

[cloud bridge]

ok we talking old old

and it runs well?

[spice lion]

2015 cpu

it runs. okay

my world got larger and larger and it cant handle that so well

[cloud bridge]

I'm a little surprised, since the recommended cpu is a 3600, I guess they were just being generous with that

[spice lion]

so you definetely need a more powerful cpu. i mostly set it up as a test because i was considering using pterodactyl panel for something else more permanent

[cloud bridge]

that's good info to know tho that it even runs.

[spice lion]

nono you definetely do need a more powerful cpu haha

a 3600 is prrobably on a generous end though

[regal marsh]

there isnt a good enough cpu 🤣

because of the main stuff on single thread

[cloud bridge]

do you know if the server takes advantage of cache?

[spice lion]

is it a single threaded server? i never looked too hard at what it was doing

[regal marsh]

mostly, but not completely

[spice lion]

ic

[spice lion]

my guess is that its probably a leftover from pre-1.0 dedicated servers

[cloud bridge]

hmm.. I'm trying to think. Are there any 4 core cpus that can be overclocked?

[spice lion]

something with good single core performance i would guess is what you want. so technically i dont think amd is the best option unless im outdated on my cpu trivia

[cloud bridge]

Aside from Xeons

[spice lion]

any older K series should be a quad core?

[cloud bridge]

Yeah but single thread isn't gonna be amazing on those

[spice lion]

like the 7600k or something

[cloud bridge]

I wish there was a 4 core for AM5. We don't talk about the 8300g

[regal marsh]

#dedicated-servers message

[spice lion]

i think if you were looking at AMD id go for a X3D

[cloud bridge]

so up to 26 threads heh?

[regal marsh]

thats not really cpu threads

[spice lion]

that said considering how the servr isnt. super heavy id spec ur thing out for something other than satisfactory and then the server will probably be just fine

so you can have like your own little home server doing its little things

[cloud bridge]

do you know what it means?

Trying to figure out what the best theoretical cpu would be

[topaz scarab]

probably some x3d yeah

[regal marsh]

open your task manager and see how many threads is your os running
thats the threads he means

[topaz scarab]

any gaming cpu really

the more gaminger the betterer

[regal marsh]

ryzen 7700 here
so far #dedicated-servers message

[spice lion]

'gaming cpu' lol.

[cloud bridge]

I've got a 7700x but not what runs the server, good cpu

[topaz scarab]

just using terms people understand

[cloud bridge]

it'll be interesting to see how this 6800u handles the server once it gets bigger. Not onto phase 3 yet so still pretty early. But no problems with 4 people

do yall think I would be better off keeping the server on a ryzen 6800u, or an i7 150u? I have both currently but not sure if it'll benefit me much by moving it over.

[regal marsh]

these threads, its like processes but not really
(the process can split into threads and the threads can be used by different cpu cores/threads...but satisfactory has 1 main thread where most stuff happens [like many other games])

[cloud bridge]

gotcha, now I'm curious

[regal marsh]

thats when my tickrate was dropping xD

it also boosts to 5.3 ghz
just only visible on the hypervisor, not in vm

but I use above ultra rates on server and at least 2 players have them above as well, so that probably increases load

[cloud bridge]

the 6800u says around 2500.

[regal marsh]

the satisfactory dedi could for sure be more efficient though

[cloud bridge]

does the server software favor a side? like does it generally perform better on one or the other? Intel vs AMD

any help on this error when startup/

[regal marsh]

not really sure
its all about CPU single core limitation

intel used to have much better single
but that line has quite changed since later ryzens

[cloud bridge]

so in this case whichever cpus have higher single cores in synthetic benchmarks is likely the better option?

[regal marsh]

yeah

old cpu with certain frequency is completely different than new one with same
because "instructions per clock" (IPC)

[cloud bridge]

So higher clock speed doesn't always mean better

[lone tendon]

. any help/

I recommend leaving your feedback on the QA site. I'm not affiliated with CSS so I'm afraid there's nothing I can do with your feedback myself

[clear lagoon]

Is this a new save?

[lone tendon]

i mean I am trying to migrate save to new server

[clear lagoon]

Your save appears to have two uobjects for the primary progress tracker. Does the save load in single player?

[lone tendon]

yup it loads perfectly in single player

[clear lagoon]

Have you tried saving a new copy of it in single player and uploading that on the server?

[lone tendon]

no I havent tried

[clear lagoon]

Can you try that for me? Is this save new from 1.0 or is it from early access?

[lone tendon]

1.0

[lone tendon]

should I open and then save normally?

[clear lagoon]

Yes just load in single player, save with new name, then load the new save on the server

[lone tendon]

ok

@clear lagoon same error

[clear lagoon]

Do you have any of the prior auto saves? Do they have the same issue?

Honestly never seen this before

[lone tendon]

yes even previous saves same issue

[cloud bridge]

Is it possible to switch ip addresses with a server? As long as I have the save file can I switch pcs and get the same server running again?

[green saddle]

Hey guys, does anyone know how to solve the problem that the server cannot run normally after automatically restarting at a fixed time every day?

[vocal seal]

Is there a way I can disable server automatic reboot?

[green saddle]

I also want to know

everyday I'll face this problem

so fucking stupid design

[vocal seal]

Copy all your files to your other pc it will give you different ip and then boom same server same save etc.

[green saddle]

😭

[reef gull]

You can change the time it restarts...

[vocal seal]

It doesn’t restart when I do

It just kills the server

[cloud bridge]

Great thank you for the confirmation, didn't want to try it and everything be ruined.

[clear lagoon]

Does the server crash during the reload?

[green saddle]

no crush

[vocal seal]

Also make a backup save and add it as well to the new pc that way if it needs it you have it you can get that from your game directories files not the server.

[green saddle]

It looks like everything is fine, but the client just won't get into the game and I have to manually shut down the server completely again

[vocal seal]

Same with me

[lone tendon]

I am not understanding what should I do at this point

[vocal seal]

Even when I’ve used NSSM to run the server. I didn’t used to have the problem in update 8

[clear lagoon]

The udp listener crash when running your server on windows is a known issue. You'll have to wait for a fix from the developers or run your server on Linux

[green saddle]

It is easy to solve when the server crashes unexpectedly. I wrote a small monitoring program myself. When the server is abnormal, it will kill the server and restart it. However, after the server restarts every day, no abnormality will be detected.

[green saddle]

got it

[clear lagoon]

You can query the lightweight query protocol periodically in your script. It'll stop responding as well when the listener crashes out

[vocal seal]

Will it work if the server is on a VM

[reef gull]

Hard to troubleshoot without logs, and I have had a server on U8 and now, and I don't have issues. I'm using AMP though, so different platform. I never did like nssm personally, but there is also features in AMP that is helpful for managing the house's DS.

[clear lagoon]

Sure as long as the guest OS isn't windows as well

[vocal seal]

Gotcha I’ll use my works server and run a server tehe don’t tell them plz

[reef gull]

Really? I must be lucky or something... its my old Win10 box and I don't have problems at least that I have seen...

[clear lagoon]

You doing a getting fired speedrun? 😛

[green saddle]

😭

[vocal seal]

Nah they love me too much I take care of their server

I run the it department just like I mine bitcoin on it 🫠

[green saddle]

What a headache

[clear lagoon]

Might be a win11 issue then or with specific major releases of win10. I'm not sure

[green saddle]

I have a simple and crude solution

[reef gull]

Might, not sure... would be curious if I had time, XD

[green saddle]

If you set it to restart at 0 o'clock, then write a script to completely kill the server and then restart it after 0 o'clock.

XD

[vocal seal]

Hit me with it I’ll reverse engineer the server file and rewrite it

[clear lagoon]

That's more crude than the query idea but that would work xD

[green saddle]

pls must delete the stupid auto reboot

[reef gull]

I've done janxier stuff... a Window Task Manager entry to start it at a set time? Probably 5-10 minutes after the expected shutdown.

[green saddle]

[clear lagoon]

It's there because of game clock drift

[vocal seal]

Just run it 1 minute after shutdown as well server shuts down within 10-15 seconds of the time

[clear lagoon]

Always has been

[reef gull]

I don't even know all of what it cures, but the devs found it to be more useful to have it than not.

[clear lagoon]

It's not new in 1.0

[reef gull]

I think it has been there since the inception of dedi?

[clear lagoon]

Yes

[vocal seal]

Yea plus if your running with steamcmd it lets your steamcmd check for updates to the server files

[clear lagoon]

No. The server process doesn't exit

[green saddle]

other wise we can rewrite the reboot

[vocal seal]

There’s missing code to get it to restart the server to the startup process.

[crimson marten]

Anyone know about why on my server every "Concrete Tilted Corner Wall" is invisible and can't be deconstructed?

[reef gull]

Haha, a thought, if it is possible... Invoke-WebRequest to the server's API to shut it down, wait X period of time, then start it back up... XD

I still need to peer into that more...

[clear lagoon]

No. It doesn't shut down. If it does, it's a crash. The "automatic restart" is just making a new save, unloading the map, then loading the save again

[dusty vortex]

Be aware that in the eyes of the law what you are doing is considered embezzlement, so not just likely to get fired, but you could spend time behind bars.
Enough said on such off topic, just be warned.

[cursive plaza]

Hi everybody! Anybody care provide some assistance with setting up a hosted (on G-Portal) private server?

[clear lagoon]

If you have corrupted belts the server will crash during the daily restart

[dusty vortex]

Not much to assist with, gportal will handle it all.
All you gotta do is place the order.
After you place the order with them they will setup the server for you, and if/when there are issues you simply raise tickets with them to resolve, it's all part of the service

[cursive plaza]

Well, I placed the order. But the problem now is that when I try to add the server in the Server Manager I'm getting nada...

Right... What's the response time on a ticket, do you know?

[dusty vortex]

No idea, not used them in many years (and even then it was only because the game in question did not allow self hosting).

What do the SLAs/terms say in your agreement with them?

[noble sluice]

Maybe G-portals forum is the right place to ask question about G-portals servises...

[cursive plaza]

Sure, but my question is not related to G-portal. They give you all the details, it's more about the Satisfactory-side: I don't know what I'm doing so even though I theoretically have the info, a little guidance on how to do this is all I'm looking for 😉

[dusty vortex]

You add the details into the server manager.
Which you claim to have done, but 'nada'.
So best to raise a ticket with em so they can troubleshoot with you.
Hosting providers are often very cagey about the inner workings of their environments so it makes it very difficult for outsiders to be able to assist.

[grim mica]

Just make sure you are setting the proper IP and port (port is very important with shared/hosted providers) and if it doesnt work, usually would need to get with the provider directly. We can help you if you are hosting the server, but if you have no backend access - we have no idea whats going on within their network and have nothing to troubleshoot

[clear lagoon]

Your vendor has a guide with screenshots on their website

[cursive plaza]

@dusty vortex @noble sluice @clear lagoon @grim mica thanks guys. I know about the guide, I think I know about port forwarding or something but even if I follow it I can't get beyond the screenshot I've attached. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with G-portal, nor Satisfactory. I'm just saying: I don't know what the ---- I'm doing, so, help? 🥹

But if you feel you can't help me that's fine too, thanks anyway for the replies. That's honestly very appreciated! ❤️

[noble sluice]

G-Portal should provide you will all the info you need to connect to the server.
You need an IP-address OR a domain name AND a port.
Port forwarding isn't something you think about.

[cursive plaza]

Thanks, that's very helpful!

[dusty vortex]

Port forwarding is only relevant to those that host the server.

[clear lagoon]

You don't need to port forward to join a server, only to run one in your own home network. Is the server online on the dashboard?

You'll probably need to contact support if your server isn't functioning as advertised

[dusty vortex]

So gportal will handle all that on their end.
You just need to 'add/connect' to the details they provide, if still not working then a ticket is the only resolution

[cursive plaza]

It is, yeah!

[noble sluice]

This is what G-portal says...

[cursive plaza]

So, what's your point?

[clear lagoon]

Lol 128 slots good luck with that

[cursive plaza]

Imagine building a factory with 128 people, it would be historical levels of anarchy.

[noble sluice]

They got 24/7 support...

[clear lagoon]

If you can't connect the issue is on your vendor's end unless you're using the wrong ip or port. Contact them

[dusty vortex]

Sever barely handles 1 player without issues occurring, so we chuckle at the offering for up to 128 😆

[cursive plaza]

What do you mean? Are you saying I'm doing all this effort for a lagfest? 😭

[clear lagoon]

Dedicated servers are tested to work with four simultaneous players

They'll probably work with more but it's not an officially supported configuration

No... There are a long list of known issues with the game, nothing specific at gportal.

[cursive plaza]

They replied within two minutes to my ticket. Turns out the ports they paste all over aren't the one you need.

[lone tendon]

@clear lagoon any more suggestions?

[clear lagoon]

As in this as mentioned in their setup guide? XD anyway good to see the support contract is real

[clear lagoon]

You can try sending me your save and I can take a look

[lone tendon]

Ok

[lone tendon]

Sent

[cursive plaza]

Nah it wasn't in there, believe me. Even though I'm very tired, it was a -bit- convoluted. I gave them the feedback as well. The next noob is likely to struggle as well. 😉

(Thanks so much for your help)

[clear lagoon]

I see the error you posted in the logs but the save loads fine afterwards

[lone tendon]

But server doesn’t loadup

I can add you authrized to server if you wanna test

[lone tendon]

Single player loads fine for me too

[clear lagoon]

I loaded it onto a server

[clear lagoon]

can you post whatever is currently displayed in the server console?

[lone tendon]

It keeps on restarting saying abort loading

[clear lagoon]

the last log you sent doesn't show any such thing. can you please send the exact log for the current full server run?

your save does have corrupt belts xD

[clear lagoon]

are you trying to load this save over top of another running session on the server?

[lone tendon]

i sent you log

[lone tendon]

how?

[lone tendon]

what does that mean? its a new server

[clear lagoon]

blueprint designer bug

[lone tendon]

how do fix it

[green saddle]

holy

what's wrong

[frosty gale]

you used join game instead of server manager

[green saddle]

nono

I just playing in server

Then suddenly I popped out

[plush creek]

then join again 🙂

[green saddle]

server closed

😭

[frosty gale]

then the server crashed

[green saddle]

I just build my awesome RocketFuel generator

🫤

[clear lagoon]

just as an update for those who are curious: Zenophie's server is going out of memory on his save which causes a crashloop

[proven notch]

just bite the bullet and get the 8600g, Highly recommend it

[cloud bridge]

I've got a i7 150u that I'm going to switch to. Got the laptop for $150 bucks, I figured that would be a better deal than buying parts for a whole 'nother pc

I really want to try the 8000 G series tho

[proven notch]

tthat would be likely fine honestly I haven't done any testing with the new intel cpu with the funny names

I highly recommend it. I went with the 8600g over the 8700 because the 2% wasn't worth the extra money

[cloud bridge]

yeah 30% higher cost

[proven notch]

yeah, when all the test were less than 3%, 30% wasn't worth it, but i love the box. I host 3 different game server and my home lab vms off it

there is some notice in performance if i encode video on it, but it doesn't have a DGPU

[cloud bridge]

what you use for vms?

I'd like to turn my ryzen 6800u laptop into a couple vms.

[proven notch]

vmware, I got it from work. Moving to docker as i teach myself it. I'm teaching myself more software development and what not. I do cyber security right now so i use vm mostly for testing malware

my whole build was 750 bucks, only because i went with good ram and m.2s

[cloud bridge]

I'm currently setting up my own home lab and would love to know what all you use yours for

[proven notch]

I run windows 11, as the base os because of work. But i have 10 different vms with flavors ranging from kali to windows 10. the machine easily run 3 vms and 3 servers without a hit in performance

[cloud bridge]

Nice, I've just got my main gaming pc, a ryzen 6800u laptop running satis server, tho I want to switch it to the i7 150u laptop, and run vms on the 6800u, and then I've just got a 1gb network switch, and a KVM switch

[proven notch]

i got ubiquiti dream pro 2.5g as my backbone with fiber up and down, thats why i can host the server at my house lol

[cloud bridge]

oh dang

[proven notch]

yeah thats why when i see so many people here with the desync issues i feel its more of the upload the server is on. We have very little desync even with people the UK and I'm in Los Angeles. but my server restarts daily and will relaunch itself if it crashes

[cloud bridge]

what's ur up speed?

[cloud bridge]

holy chicken nuggets..

[proven notch]

the person with the worse ping to me lives in Maine and his ping is 110 m/s the guy from the uk is 150-160

[cloud bridge]

I've only got 100 down but I actually get 88 up so my friend that lives across the US still is very playable for him

for satis server I should say.

[proven notch]

thats not bad honestly. I can get 2.5 up/down but most cable is like 10 mb up which is dooky for hosting

[cloud bridge]

bro a NAS/DAS on 2.5 local would be insane 😂

[proven notch]

yep but this does what i need 🙂

[cloud bridge]

I've wondered, if you have a 2.5gb switch, can you get close to that amount of speed for file transfers when you have 2 machines directly plugged in? at that point is the cable the bottleneck or are you still limited to that 940mb?

[proven notch]

my desk top to my nas can hit 800 to 1.1 if i zip the file

[hidden forge]

i got the full 2.Gbps/250MBs PC<>server, nvme on both sides, SMB File Transfer, Windows to Windows

[noble sluice]

Get a room or keep on topic please.

[dapper pilot]

anyone running end game mega factory on a server hoster with good performance?

[ivory vector]

hey i am having some trouble with my dedicated server. i have transferred my friends save file to my server (by sending the safe data file via discord, not the server manager) but when i load the save and i try to join the server the server(window) closes and this is the last thing the log outputs:

[clear lagoon]

We need to be able to see the backtrace from the start to the end. the logfile should be saved to your crashes directory (installation-directory/FactoryGame/Saved/Crashes)

can you successfully load the savefile you received into singleplayer?

[ivory vector]

yes

[proven notch]

really stupid comment, but have you tried restarting your host computer? Its really dumb it has fixed some major issues i've had

[clear lagoon]

will await the logfile with the backtrace then

[dark ridge]

are servers multi threaded yet

[proven notch]

not that i've seen

[dark ridge]

depressing.

[dark ridge]

cpu seems to be around 150% (1.5 threads)

possible that satisfactory uses a core instead of thread? or am i saying alien stuff

[ivory vector]

its working now.....

nice

tnx haha

[proven notch]

np, this DS client sucks so bad i think its a UE issue hto

[topaz scarab]

killed by oom on day 4 lol
nice memory leak / broken auto restart feature

[zinc yarrow]

If I just went to a hosting site online, would I not have to worry about all the lines of code I see here

[stiff kernel]

Has anyone experimented with the HTTPS API and servers? Any cool ideas to suggest? I just got a dedicated server set up on my headless Ubuntu machine with about 8 friends and am brainstorming ways to make things smooth, but haven't done hardly any research into the HTTPS API yet.

[topaz scarab]

a few people yeah, have you checked the wiki

[proven notch]

yes a restart feature that ties into discord so they can tell the box to restart if it crashes. I was doing but i've given up as the server crashes so god damn much

[ivory vector]

oh nvm i spoke to soon. i joined and left a couple of times but now it is crashing again

[proven notch]

has anyone on a windows box found the DefaultEngine.ini location

honestly i don't know. This server sucks really bad on a windows machine, I need to try it on a linux

[ivory vector]

which file do i need?

[proven notch]

this is fun i got this now and the server just hangs: FGDroneActionFactory::CreateDroneActionFromName - Could not create drone action from FName "None"

sigh

[clear lagoon]

are you sure there's nothing causing additional map tiles to load during the server run? I have streaming disabled so the memory use on my vm looks like this

[topaz scarab]

19GB wew

[clear lagoon]

not just satisfactory*

[topaz scarab]

streaming's off by default, no
we're just playing normally™️

[proven notch]

on your linux box does the server a lot? @topaz scarab

[topaz scarab]

wat

[clear lagoon]

12.02G on the satisfactory pid

[proven notch]

my satis server crashes a ton on my windows machine so much so that i had to write a script to restart it, it crashed 1240 times over 2 weeks

[clear lagoon]

#dedicated-servers message

[topaz scarab]

either way the builtin restart shouldve taken care of this problem™️

[clear lagoon]

does the builtin restart even shrink allocated heap? can UE even do that at all

[topaz scarab]

if only they told us

[clear lagoon]

could be it just frees the pointers and new objects just get free space in the existing heap

[clear lagoon]

to be fair that's more likely UE5 internals, it's source-available so if we really wanted to we could find out xD

(aint nobody got time for that)

[topaz scarab]

no thanks i'm full

guess i'll try giving it 12GB and kill these cronjobs for now

[clear lagoon]

if you really need to you can use the HTTP API to save and reboot the server periodically

[topaz scarab]

why that over the service manager

[clear lagoon]

or you could use something like swatchdog to terminate it after it finishes the pre-restart save (log parsing)

[clear lagoon]

server doesn't save on sigterm x_x

[topaz scarab]

eh nobody's on at 3am

[clear lagoon]

so if players happen to be online you'd rollback to latest autosave

[topaz scarab]

and it saves on disconnect anyway

[clear lagoon]

well that makes it a lot less of a problem anyway xD

[topaz scarab]

yeah if it didn't, i would do the whole api poking

[stiff kernel]

Read the wiki a bit for the HTTPS API, I'll give it an depth look after work. FWIW my game server on my Ubuntu box has been up for two days, no crashes and frequent use. Is it mainly Windows seeing frequent crash problems?

[topaz scarab]

there's a list of existing tools on the dedi server page too

should prob link that or something

[clear lagoon]

For windows: The UDP listener (HTTP API will not be impacted by this, only lightweight query...) has a tendency to self-destruct at differing times for different players, usually during the daily restart or when a LAN player disconnects
In general: Primarily there's an issue with blueprint crashes when using corrupt blueprints, which in turn are usually caused by placing things in a designer during high server load, which causes stuff to not attach to the designer, which causes crashy blooprints.

oh and also seeing a recurring crash issue with maths related to building lots of pipes/tubes

[stiff kernel]

Makes sense. We haven't progressed too far so server load is probably low comparatively. I'm interested to see how hw utilization scales with growth of the server and buildings and such. Interesting bug with the blueprints, hopefully they get that sorted soon 🤞

[clear lagoon]

There's no crash in that log so far, looks like this is from a server run from around 3 mins before you posted that on discord

[leaden tartan]

Hey, API question, is there somewhere the "GetServerOptions" and "GetAdvancedGameSettings" are listed / documented ?

[clear lagoon]

on the wiki, and documentation is also included with the gamefiles itself

[leaden tartan]

Well everywhere I've looked it's documented as a list but actually does not list what's in there

[ivory vector]

this is the latest log it printed, i just launched the server, ran around and then it crashed again

[clear lagoon]

this is the log file from the Crashes directory I linked you to earlier?

[ivory vector]

no i could not find the log from that one

[tame lantern]

I dont remember the ticket rate being bad. After 2 hours tho the server became unplayable
