Were there no actual crashes or were you unable to locate the directory?

[leaden tartan]

This is really helpful, many thanks!

[clear lagoon]

no problem. the server responds with this data when you send the queries anyway xD

[topaz scarab]

that's also in that linked doc's sample request

[ivory vector]

you mean this one right?

[clear lagoon]

yes take the very top folder... in there is the log file and crash reports

it makes a new folder for every crash

(Also I love your drive's name) 🧱

[ivory vector]

haha tnx

so which of the 4 files do i need to send?

[clear lagoon]

from FactoryGame.log you can send everything starting from
LogCore: === Critical error: === to the end of the file

[nova finch]

Did you ever find a resolution for this? Running into the same issue and it only happens when dedicated server restarts itself. Dedicated server here being the Satisfactory server exe and not the machine.

[ivory vector]

none of the log files contain "LogCore: === Critical error: =="

[clear lagoon]

uhhh. just send the full log for the most recent one xD

ahhhh. on windows it's apparently LogWindows: Error: === Critical error: ===

because of course we can be consistent 🤦‍♀️

[ivory vector]

ah

[clear lagoon]

note to self: just write === Critical error: === next time

[ivory vector]

also no critical error in the log(s)

am i stoopid?

[clear lagoon]

probably not, can you send the full log file for the last crash then?

now I'm curious what it's going to be

[ivory vector]

that is this one

[clear lagoon]

does it end the exact same line?

can you send the crash diagnostics file?

[ivory vector]

where can i find that one

[clear lagoon]

can you send me a screenshot of what is in the latest crash directory?

I'm expecting a Diagnostics.txt or a CrashContext.runtime-xml hopefully

[ivory vector]

same as this one, i havent started the server up since

i can try again now

[clear lagoon]

did you only have the log file in the crash folder?

[ivory vector]

no there are 3 other files

[clear lagoon]

yes, those please

[misty junco]

Just put my server online, are you suposed to be tier 2?

Or is that just a display thing

[clear lagoon]

not sure what could be causing this crash. it looks like something might be wrong with the save file? you can try the following things:
1)
load the save file into single player
save it with a new name
try to load the new save onto the server
2)
load the save into the Satisfactory Calculator Interactive Map https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map
download the save again from the interactive map
try to load that onto the server

[regal marsh]

#patch-notes message
#patch-notes message

[clear lagoon]

No, this is intentional

dedicated server sessions start at Tier 2

if you would like to start with onboarding you'll have to create your session in single player

[misty junco]

ah, sad, oh well. Its a lan party server, should be fine

[clear lagoon]

well for a lan party you won't have much choice xD I don't think the server can run progress on tiers under two

[misty junco]

Yeah yeah its fine

just curious

[merry pasture]

anybody found of a solution about the servers not accepting any connection after last player disconnected ?

[clear lagoon]

the udp listener dying on windows? that's a fix-by-developers thing I do think

[merry pasture]

i havnt seen any update on that on patchnotes

[clear lagoon]

because it hasn't been fixed yet 👀

[topaz scarab]

only once or twice from game bugs, 2nd time from oom

[merry pasture]

oh okay 😄

[topaz scarab]

mostly just degraded performance when around creatures

[past anvil]

Is it possible to change server reset time?

[merry pasture]

restart you mean ?

[clear lagoon]

... how long can you switch swatches between matte and shiny

[clear lagoon]

yes, this is actual the hour at which it restarts (UTC I think...), not the interval

[past anvil]

yeah

[past anvil]

ahh soo, ty

[merry pasture]

dont read the "interval" it is the server time

[past anvil]

all this time..

[clear lagoon]

it's poorly labeled in the UI yes

[wheat frigate]

Anybody else have issue with dismantling in Blueprint mode on dedicated servers? I try to dismantle a blueprint in blueprint mode and it only removes like half the builings, 10 seconds later the game crashes, happens over and over again... :\

[merry pasture]

blueprint are mostly fucked up actually

[clear lagoon]

if the server's actually crashing, you probably have a corrupt blueprint

[wheat frigate]

Its the base game at first

after restarting the game and trying again to deconstruct it timeout the server connection

but the server itself seems stable

[clear lagoon]

This is on 1.0 and not U8 right?

[wheat frigate]

Yes

[clear lagoon]

Personally I haven't seen that issue since 1.0 landed myself

You can try sharing the client crash log if it crashes out

[high escarp]

Anyone else's Dedicated server crash every time A Blueprint platform gets cleared ?

[clear lagoon]

did you load in an existing blueprint? it's probably corrupted. if you dismantle placed copies you'll crash the server as well in that case

[frosty gale]

my server crashes whenever someone changes the volume on the radio

[clear lagoon]

for real?

[frosty gale]

yes

[clear lagoon]

that's horrid xD

@high escarp if what I said is the case you can delete impacted buildables using an external tool such as SCIM - The Satisfactory Calculator Interactive Map https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

[frosty gale]

turned server back on, look left

this game still has heaps of work

to be done

[clear lagoon]

he just vibin

[frosty gale]

I cant take a screenshot but every frame he is switching between that position and 90 degrees to the left

[clear lagoon]

o. poor boy's probably stuck

[frosty gale]

theres also no display model for when tickets are on conveyor belts

[topaz scarab]

i'm imagining the giant novelty sized checks

thanks for the laugh

[frosty gale]

i mean they already have a world model

[high escarp]

Playing with another lad. I think that is what happened. 🤔 and by corrupted you mean having to start all over, or simple remove it all by hand and continue palying ?

[leaden bolt]

having the same issue but with shockbyte lol

[clear lagoon]

You have to remove it with an external save editor like the one I linked

[high escarp]

oh yea you did mention by hand would also cause it..... daaaiimmmm. Thanks for the link. 😋

[clear lagoon]

unless you haven't placed it down anywhere, in which case you just overwrite the blueprint file with one created from scratch

[high escarp]

There might be some BP placed around the world. ~~Have ~~Going to ask the other lad. 😅

[clear lagoon]

If you look at the crash report and you see this:

Assertion failed: mConnectedComponent->IsConnected()

like it's nearly guaranteed to be this issue

I have a helper script to clear it but you'll have to figure out what it all deleted:
https://github.com/SparxySys/satisfactory-scripts/blob/main/scim-helpers/delete-asymmetric-factory-connections.js

[merry pasture]

personnaly i told my friends to not use bp at all until this is fixed

[high escarp]

Same here 😂

[clear lagoon]

that is the easiest prevention method since the other one is more involved

[past anvil]

You have a corupted blueprint, once u find which one it is and delete it, all should be fine

[high escarp]

looking / Reading right now to see 🙂

[dawn sorrel]

I hope you don't mind me asking... what triggers a blueprint to corrupt?

[clear lagoon]

This is usually caused by blueprints which have a conveyor, splitter, merger, or other buildable that stays behind when a blueprint designer is cleared. A bug that occurs during placement of the buildable leads to the buildable not being attached to the blueprint designer, this buildable is now in world-space instead. This in turn leads to an FGFactoryConnectionComponent that is attached to a world-space ID'd object on one end being saved in the blueprint. This usually seems to occur while placing buildables in the designer during periods of high load (autosaves, many buildables being placed in rapid succession, other players encountering creatures, ...)

When a new copy of the blueprint is placed in-world, these kinds of connections are asymmetrical: The buildable in the placed blueprint connects to the one in the blueprint designer, but the buildable in the blueprint designer does not connect back to the newly placed blueprint. Alternatively, the blueprint is no longer in the designer, and the newly placed connection connects to nothing.

You might need to load this save by clearing all saves from your server save directory first. The crash in question can also occur when unloading the previous save, making loading saves through the server manager impossible.

It may be possible to prevent these crashes by saving and then clearing the blueprint designer. If anything is left behind in the blueprint designer that is not Lightweight (walls, foundations, ...) then do not use this blueprint or try to load it again! You'll have to overwrite it with a blueprint built from scratch.

[dawn sorrel]

Ohhhh I see Thanks for answering

[high escarp]

☝️ we're playing in the same lobby.😎

Also, in Notepad++ I used the CTRL+F Tool to look anything with that message Assertion failed: mConnectedComponent->IsConnected() and found 1x Result. 🥲

[clear lagoon]

you'll always have max one result per crash log. it will crash the instant you try to dismantle it or when unloading the save or when the daily restart triggers (because that unloads the save)

[clear lagoon]

so yes, at least one corrupt connection 😭

[high escarp]

oh also nice to know. I wondered why the server never restarted after the auto restart. it's set to 1H but always seems to do it in 24H. 😂

[high escarp]

🥲 darn

[clear lagoon]

oh the label on that config is wrong. it is not a restart interval, it's the restart time. it occurs every 24h

so by default it's on midnight UTC

[high escarp]

oohhh darn, Yea i noticed it always kicking in on 00:00 UTC. And here i was thinking that 1H auto-restart was not working. 🤦‍♂️ 😅

so having it set to 01:00 means it wants to restart at 1 in the morning. and having it set to 00:00, means always at midnight ?

[clear lagoon]

correct

[high escarp]

That helps a lot. Thank you Lena 😋

[high escarp]

Another Small question- Is there a way to have something running, so that when the .exe crashes, it launches it again ? 👀

[topaz scarab]

[high escarp]

Alrighty.

[topaz scarab]

np, we're here™️ for any questions too

[hybrid pelican]

Hello, I have a problem on my server about ghost structures when I destroy them

I remove for example a Walkways and it stay visible client-side even if removed from the server

[grim mica]

Known issue/bug, need to rejoin to see the proper update on the client

[hybrid pelican]

It's every structure I destroy, very very annoying

It only affects some structures, modern walkways and railling, concrete foundations as well, but not FICIST and asphalte ones

[dapper light]

wait yea there is ?

[earnest willow]

i have an issue adding a dedicated to server manager

i press add and nothing happens?

[frosty gale]

there wassnt for me

is just threw an index out of range error or something in console

can I see it?

[hybrid pelican]

The bug about the ghost structures only affect some structures : concrete ones, stairs catwalks and modern raillings, according to my tests

[grim mica]

Every structure is certainly abnormal, ive seen just a foundation or group (mass dismantle) not disappear - never machines, havent really removed alot of railings before

[hollow ruin]

Game Crashes Every Time Objects are Deleted or Blueprints are used.

Anybody else experiencing something like this? how would i go about fixing the save file or stopping this from happening?

[next tendon]

I'm playing on a hosted server and currently there is this anoying thing where when you delete something, it goes through the animation but the objects are still there, but they aren't. Its only when you relog that the objects are gone. It's really frustrating because it's totally random in terms of what deletes and what does'nt

[quick mist]

I've seen that happen on my server too. No known workaround other than to relog I'm afraid. I'm sure there are postings about this on the QA site so hopefully CSS will find a fix.

[lyric mist]

is it common to see late game server with "Ran out of memory" issues? Been experieincing it with 64GB of RAM assigned to VM.

just bumped it up to 96GB

[topaz scarab]

lol @clear lagoon check this one out

[topaz scarab]

know if the auto restart feature is working?

[lyric mist]

it has been working

issue happend with 96GB just a few minutes ago too. So, I saved a copy locally, and it appears to be working fine, locally.

[topaz scarab]

just curious, what's the uptime?

[lyric mist]

game duration is 343 hours, uptime since this has started happening can be less than 5 mins when it locks up the VM.

[thorny dew]

Windows moment lol

Maybe there's a mem leak somewhere? If you can monitor mem usage then try that and see if the game server keeps allocating more mem

[topaz scarab]

span of 5 minutes tho

[frosty gale]

this udp socket bug really sucks bad

I really hope theres an update this week to address it even though I know there won't be

[median venture]

Anyone had problems with there dedicated server just not wanting to work all of a sudden?

I was on it then the internet seemed to drop out, but now since then I can’t seem to get the server to work, it looks like it does but from my pc I can’t find the server

[frosty gale]

did you restart it

[median venture]

Yep

Maybe thinking I have to do port forwarding again or something

[empty cape]

anyone had issues where you cant claim the server? i checked the ports and there working and the console doesnt appear to have errors

[frosty gale]

wdym cant claim

[empty cape]

ive been trying to set up a dedicated server and followed the steamcmd way via the wiki and youtubers (tried multiple times) set the ports to 7777 udp and tcp, launch the server but when i go into satisfactory and put in the ip and port i just get the offline server so cant claim it to give it a server name or start a world

[median venture]

That’s the issue I’m having as of just a few hours ago

[frosty gale]

where are you hosting the server

[empty cape]

dedi?

[frosty gale]

yes?

[empty cape]

its a rented server host

VPS

[frosty gale]

ok so its a bare vps and you are trying to setup a server

is it x86 or ARM

[empty cape]

yea with windows

[empty cape]

honestly couldnt tell you

[frosty gale]

well its probably x86 since windows

on windows youll have to make sure you have a firewall bypass

and then deal with whatever specific networking your VPS provider requires for port forwarding

[empty cape]

i looked at the canyouseeme .org and its saying its working through that port?

[frosty gale]

could you turn on the satisfactory server and send me the ip

[thorny dew]

How are you running the satisfactory server?

[near tusk]

how much RAM do you have on VM?

[severe parrot]

96G? thats crazy i hardly belive you need that much. My VM only has like 20 or 30G and uses as max 8-9? And we have a bunch of items in the world.

if it's linux vm simply use htop to see the usage

[edgy pasture]

Wow. I'm running a dedicated server in docker, the world is a bit over 114 hrs old. When one person is logged in and running around, ram usage jumps up to almost 1.8 GB.

96 seems... a bit high

[solid ice]

Just through 700 gigs at it. Problem solved /s

[limber tartan]

Yes, that is a bug, it also prevents you for a while from copying objects that have been placed before your session, it's really annoying, there is a thread for this in questions: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66ed6403772a987f4a8bb34c Maybe upvote it, so CSS sees it.

Only real solution is to restart the Server, but that doesn't always solve it, too. According to Stacusha, restarting the VM could help, but I can't verify this, as we don't run it on a VM and I can't restart the whole server daily (or more often) just for Satisfactory, and most people that use hosted solutions can't even do that, so it has to be fixed from CSS, but I'm sure they will, but I am guessing there are more critical bugs rn and other more important matters.

[limber tartan]

I wouldn't say it is, never had this issue in EA and currently since 1.0 Launch we are running our dedicated server which currently hovers at ~5GB RAM usage with 2 players connected. And we did build quite a lot.
I would consider reinstalling the Server and maybe test a different savegame to see if you run into that problem again, to rule out if it's the Game/Server or something with your VM

[solid ice]

This is the exact argument for VMs. Being able to restart services without impacting other services is crucial… #virtualizeeverything

but also hopefully they fix the bug soon.

[limber tartan]

Yeah, can't be bothered for something as simple as a dedicated game server 😂

I recently had to re-setup my whole Server since the main harddrive failed

[edgy pasture]

The other argument for VMs is the convenience of having a fully set up and up to date server deployed with just one compose file and one command.
Docker is great.

[limber tartan]

so aside from setting up some services and such, I haven't really had the time or patience to set VMs up yet 🫠

[edgy pasture]

Docker for some services is actually easier than bare metal

Dependencies being taken care of in the container… security less of a concern due to less interaction with other stuff on the physical host machine…

The container that I use is this one.

https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server

wolveix is actually in here sometimes… so that’s cool

[limber tartan]

Yeah, I will probably be setting up Docker sometime soon. But the Hardware failure was like days before the release, and we wanted to play lol, luckily setting up dedicated server is fairly easy and well documented for Satisfactory, so it was quite quick.

[vivid parrot]

Is there a way to quickly remotely kill the server. I have a server running on a custom port that is rerouted. The only port open to the outside world is the server port. I need to close the server but I do not have acces to satisfactory right now.

I can neither open SSH console or the official server console. And worst part is the fact that I am doing it from my phone

[near tusk]

just keep in mind docker may be a bit stupid with memory allocation, but you can "fix" it with: systemctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144 to allow more memory map areas so you never crash due to "wrong assumption of docker that you are running out of RAM"

[limber tartan]

I see that as a side quest 🤓

[obsidian flare]

This all seems overly complex, I just added a new user to my dedicated server and installed it via LinuxGSM I don't see what all the complication is about. Run about 4 different game servers under different users just using the LinuxGSM scripts never had any issues or problems with 4-6 people online at a time (in satisfactory). Server is pretty high spec though.

[past anvil]

How much server RAM is needed for late game, phase 5 and later?

[olive sigil]

why does my friend lag when im the host (i have pc a bit better than his) and i have a very good internet connection. when he is the host i do not lag. will he lag if we use some online hosting?

[ancient bison]

Do you know the IP it's running on and the admin password?

If so, you can connect to the REST HTTP API

And send the shutdown command

[limber tartan]

There is a setting for Network quality, try fiddling around with that. And also, does your friend have a good internet connection?

[limber tartan]

Oh absolutely, which seems fitting for the game 🤓

[obsidian flare]

I don't look for complex solutions to simple problems 😛

but I do look for simple soltuions to complex problems

I don't actually know what server requirements are or even to check usage past "ps -aux" 🤣 , server has 64GB ram I think the limiting factor will be CPU not ram, ram its cheaper to have lots but quality cpu(s) are not when renting servers at least from my experience.

[olive sigil]

its on ultra, ig he has a good connection if i dont have lags when he is hosting

[obsidian flare]

We used to lag a lot till I found out about the network settings for ultra that made everything work fine and never had issues since.

[latent raven]

Is it enough, if just the server sets it? Or do you need to set network setting to ultra on the clients as well?

[obsidian flare]

I am not sure actually we did it on server and on clients, sorry.

[inner sonnet]

Hello I need help I have Satis Server

And this error what is it? What can I fix it?

[latent raven]

Are you trying to access it in a browser?

[hybrid pelican]

Hello, I want to reboot my dedicated server, do I have to do something special before to be sure the world is correctly saved?

I have access to the console of my dedicated server only from my host (not in the game, the page is blank)

My host also provide a start, stop and restart buttons, but warms about if I restart from them, some of server configuration could be restored their default value

Are there some commands I have to write in the console? for example /save and /stop ?

Thank you in advance

[tough portal]

When people are playing your server. The game is in action and will save automatically every 5mins I think is the default. If no one is on, server is paused basically. So a restart isn't gonna break your server

[hybrid pelican]

But if I restart, it will load the last save, so I could expect a little "rollback" ?

So I guess it's recommanded to restart just after the game said the save was done

In order to have a "rollback" of just few seconds, if I'm right?

[tough portal]

It's 5mins... But yeah a small rollback could happen. I don't know the console command to save world

[hybrid pelican]

And it will reload automatically the last save ?

[tough portal]

Yes on restart it loads last save

[fathom fern]

question, do dedicated servers make it a lot easier for the client?

[hybrid pelican]

Can we program Satisfactory itself to make auto restart periodicly ?

In order to sync auto save feature with auto restart, in order to prevent a restart during an auto save and corrupt the world

[fossil nest]

Are you able to force changes in the day night cycle?

[dusty vortex]

It means that something is attempting to connect to the server.
And, the connection attempts are not in the format/protocol that the server expects.

Why is this happening... it means something/someone is likely attempting to scan the server for vulnerabilities.

This could be being performed by a legitimate company that scans the internet for vulnerabilities, or it could be a bad actor trying to scan you for vulnerabilities.

This is why anyone who sets up a server should ensure they have strong internet security and should consider setting firewalls to only allow traffic in from trusted IP addresses (known as a white list), instead of allowing anyone or anything on the internet to connect to you.

[topaz dragon]

anyone have an idea why I cant add a server to my server list?

[dusty vortex]

look at the server API, there is a function to 'save' which you could call, before you shutdown/reboot server.

you may also use the 'quit' command in the console to save the world then shutdown the server.

[topaz dragon]

tried direct joining with ip and port aswell but gives me encryption token error

and clicking confirm after trying to add to my server list just shuts the menu down and doesnt add it

[hybrid pelican]

save and quit ? thanks

[dusty vortex]

API has command for 'save' but it only saves, there is another API command to shutdown the server.

while from the console (either the server console or ingame console) the command 'quit' will both save and THEN shutdown

[hybrid pelican]

The ingame console page is blank in my case

From the main menu, I open the server then click on the console tab, it's blank

[dusty vortex]

thats where you could type commands.

or there is the API.
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/HTTPS_API

[hybrid pelican]

But it's blank, I have no console nor text field

[dusty vortex]

so there are 2 ways to achieve it.

[hybrid pelican]

My host provides a console from the web but ingame it's blank

[dusty vortex]

i cant help with that sorry, maybe the host who put the web page in place knows more

[hybrid pelican]

The console from the host is working, it's the one ingame that is completely blank

Let me open my desktop, I'll screenshoot you

[dusty vortex]

i dont use the ingame console, so i cant help, but maybe someone else can.

[hybrid pelican]

I wrote save in the console, nothing happened

[dusty vortex]

console does not support save, it uses quit

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

[hybrid pelican]

You told me earlier that the commande save existed but now you says that this command doesn't exist

[dusty vortex]

read my comment again
and note that API and console are 2 completely different things, i shared links to both

[hybrid pelican]

quitdoesn't work either

nothing happens

[dusty vortex]

API - savegame https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/HTTPS_API#SaveGame

Console - quit - or if you just want to save, then 'server.SaveGame savename'
https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Console_commands

[proper remnant]

idk if it's a lot and it surely depends on many things but it should yes, i noted a little perf increase when I switched my game on a server, the biggest improvement (for me) being no more freeze during autosaves

[proper remnant]

this isn't normal, it should give you an error

[vivid parrot]

Oh yeah thank you!

[ancient bison]

yw

[clear lagoon]

uh what xD do you have any ini file customizations or ini launch parameters?

[clear lagoon]

docker runs as root by default and docker to host escape vulnerabilities are relatively common

[clear lagoon]

there's a 24h save/unload/reload cycle fyi

I was just thinking but if a save consumes 64G in 5 minutes, are we sure the save is completely ok? 😅

had someone in here a couple days ago that had like a five bazillion kilometer belt because of bad spline. it had a tendency to fail to load

[fossil nest]

hey I have a spare computer I want to transfer my server too

its a i7 7700k with 16 GB

Will it be able to run a server? My computer is starting to struggling handling hosting and being a client

[ancient bison]

thats plenty

shouldn't have any problems

[noble sluice]

Try to avoid using tools that isn't updated in years.
Use Portainer instead of satis-server.

[clear lagoon]

I think satis-server is a php composer server image, not a docker manager, I think it's safer to assume that person abbreviated satisfactory to satis 👀

[somber terrace]

I have this exact setup, had a pretty decent sized factory on it around update 7. Complete the space elevator on it and I think we had plenty of headroom

[fossil nest]

Ok so I have everything set up and when I start the dedicated server the command prompt window pops up, does a bunch of stuff quickly (too fast to see) then closes

Thoughts?

[somber terrace]

You can see what it said in the logs, but I would check the wiki for your specific OS and make sure you follow the instructions. I won’t be the best at troubleshooting your specific issue

[fossil nest]

Logs in localappdata?

?

[clear lagoon]

no, crash logs are in the installation directory normally

It is added.
Its just offline / unreachable.
But it is 'added' ok

hmm

the server is up, the port is opened

server received this when i did the port check

im hosting with ptreodactyl

[dusty vortex]

Does petro require ports to be defined also? (I don't use it but thought I read somewhere here that it may)

[earnest willow]

yeah its set for 27015

[dusty vortex]

Default is 7777, unless you gone adjusting the ports it's using.

[vernal pollen]

im having the same issue as @earnest willow im hosting my own server, all ports are forwarded and listening, i can connect with LAN but not externally

[dusty vortex]

If your trying to use your public IP from inside your own network then it will only work if you have NAT reflection support/enabled in your router, many Isp provided routers do not support or enable this feature so it won't be possible to use your public IP to connect to an internal resource.
Your friends should be able to use it still just not you.

If friends can't connect still then you may need to check if your behind a CGNAT that is at Isp level and often prevents any hosting services from working.. there are lots of caveats.

[earnest willow]

is there a command list for the server manager console

can i actually see which one the game is using

(port)

[vernal pollen]

could a CGNAT stop a minecraft server from being hosted? cause ive hosted tons of those

[dusty vortex]

A CGNAT can prevent anything being hosted, so if you hosted Minecraft then it's possible that you are not behind a CGNAT

[vernal pollen]

yeah i dont think i am, my public ip starts with a 74, from what i can tell the CGNATS start with 100

is there anything else that could be preventing the server from being accessed?

i set it up through the local address if thats important

[dusty vortex]

Only firewalls and routers port forwarding

[vernal pollen]

i set up every port under the sun for the firewall

and these ones for the router

[frosty gale]

its tcp and udp on the router as well right

[vernal pollen]

both

[green saddle]

[dusty vortex]

not sure why you got 15000 and 15777 listed, unless thats for some other service your hosting its not needed for satisfactory 1.0

[lethal wind]

is there a default admin password ?

[frosty gale]

no

[lethal wind]

..

xd

[frosty gale]

you set it when setting up the server

[lethal wind]

.....

my friend did and he doesnt know lol

ok thank

[clear lagoon]

You can reset the server into claim mode by removing the serversettings.7777.sav

[lethal wind]

its ok thank you , my friend just did that x)

[earnest willow]

ok my issue was udp was not open only tcp was

now tcp udp open

[barren heath]

I have been assigned server admin on one community, are there any good documents on how to manage server? Is there a way to fetch it's status via REST API?

[topaz scarab]

yes

[barren heath]

Seems the server is crashing every time I logout

is it possible that it happens because I have authorized as an admin via game client?

if so, how do I logoff from it

[clear lagoon]

does the server process actually crash?

[barren heath]

I found cli.py for the server

I can see server status claiming everythign works

[clear lagoon]

running on windows perchance?

[barren heath]

but it disconects all the players and in game client shows "server apperas offline"

[latent lichen]

Hey I am having a server version mismatch but I just updated the server, anyone know what could cause that?

[barren heath]

linux dediated host on hosthavoc.com

[clear lagoon]

usually people updating with steamcmd who forget to include the force_install_dir parameter so they accidentally made a new install in a different place

[latent lichen]

I added that, but I don't know if I applied it correctly

[clear lagoon]

you can post the logs or crashlogs if any here, but your best chance is probably to contact support

[latent lichen]

any example of how the complete command should look like?

[clear lagoon]

is this on windows or linux?

since windows would rather come with RDP

LogInit: OS: Windows Server 2022 (21H2) [10.0.20348.2402]

okay, I stand corrected so

[clear lagoon]

there's a bug on windows server with the UDP listener dying when people leave... ... now I'm beginning to wonder if that only happens when people are actually authed as admin 🤔 you can try joining with the player password after it restarts and then leaving again to see if the issue recurs?

otherwise you'll have to contact support since known bug on windows servers

[barren heath]

how do I re-login as a regular user?

[clear lagoon]

if you delete the entry from the server manager and add it again it should prompt you for the password again, join with the player password instead

no guarantees that'll fix it, just curious if it has any relation to the issue now

[barren heath]

Logging in

it went to offline after I logged off

[frosty gale]

Im so sorry

[clear lagoon]

yep, unfortunate. only happens on windows servers at this time

[barren heath]

any idea when server update may happen - the one with potential fix for that?

[frosty gale]

its been like 4 weeks with no fix

so dont hold your breath

[barren heath]

and is it still impossible to run server on Linux KVM host?

[frosty gale]

why would that be impossible

[clear lagoon]

kvm works fine... you just need a host and guest cpu which has the minimum extensions

the default qemu cpu doesn't have enough extensions

[barren heath]

I read somewhere that it will not run if using hypervisor KVM for VM

[clear lagoon]

set cpu to 'host' usually works if your cpu isn't from the stone ages

[frosty gale]

with the state its in just try it and see if you have the hardware available

[barren heath]

That's the thing - I don't have spare host, would have to rent some VPS

[frosty gale]

well at that point you may as well just rent the server from someone

[regal marsh]

I run linux proxmox host and windows 10 pro vm, no issues

[barren heath]

guess I am going dedicated server so

[vernal pollen]

I saw them on some post from beta and thought to try them

[edgy pasture]

I’m running my server on an AMD bulldozer on windows… on a Linux docker container. Works fine

[frosty gale]

amd bulldozer

[barren heath]

that's like ancient over like what? 20 years old now?

[clear lagoon]

wanna see your tickrate in combat lmao

[barren heath]

@clear lagoon how would i7-6700 do?

I am thinkng hetzner.de now

[frosty gale]

just fine

[clear lagoon]

I mean it would start up, not sure it would perform well... server depends primarily on single core performance and that cpu is from 2015

[barren heath]

how many players I could host on it? say with 32-64 GB RAM?

[frosty gale]

im running it at 30 tps on an x5675

factory isnt all that big granted, but theres been no hiccups so far

[frosty gale]

server uses about 4 -6gb nominally

[barren heath]

Hmm, seems like 6700 is like 10-15% faster

6.5 for me every time

6.49GB to be exact

[clear lagoon]

for a starter save yes, as your factory increases in size more map tiles will load

You'll definitely go out of memory by or during tier 9 with 6GB

[barren heath]

I get tick rate 98 on beefy CPU

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X

[frosty gale]

server tick rate is locked at 30 unless you manually override it

[clear lagoon]

your tick rate will probably go up on that cpu if you park it on a single ccd

get around 47tps on a ryzen 3600 server

[barren heath]

it is set to 120 I think in my config

LanServerMaxTickRate=120

[edgy pasture]

It’s fine as long as the jellyfin server isn’t doing transcodes at the same time or the other couple of web server containers aren’t too active at the time.

[barren heath]

Do you guys know some cheap dedicated hosts good for game servers?

[edgy pasture]

Yeah buddy. I got paid $30 in the class action settlement because AMD and the rest of the world didn’t agree on how to communicate how many cores were in their processors… and what are cores anyway? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[barren heath]

Do you mean they caed HT extra cores at some point?

Thank you everyone for your time. I guess I am banned from playing the game with friends until server get fixed.

Or until I can find decent machine at a reasonable price

[rare moon]

any servers i can join?

[barren heath]

Not the right place to ask mate.

Looking-for-Group is where you can find communities to join

[clear lagoon]

huh, I always thought my tickrate on my server was always this low but it's literally only in part of my megafactory o_O weeeird

[topaz scarab]

nice chart, what stack

[clear lagoon]

stack?

oh no this is not persisted metrics XD

just live

in my famous "how to not do things" setup: just doing the query server stats every second and sticking it in a 300 line tmpfs file and then plotting that with gnuplot

if you wanted to do it properly you could probably put it in influxdb and chart it with grafana

or something

[topaz scarab]

yeah that's what i assumed

care to share your gnuplot code

wew that's a lotta deps

[clear lagoon]

set title 'Satisfactory Tickrate'
set yrange [0:60]

[frosty gale]

so all the plant life on my server came back

dunno what to do about it

[clear lagoon]

bet it came back stronger than ever. have you tried removing it again? XD

(probably won't work)

[frosty gale]

it is all invulnerable

almost killed myself with a nuke

[[[[[[[[[[

[clear lagoon]

the thing with plants is that the base state is all plants are alive. when you join the server it has to send you which plants you actually destroyed. at some amount of destroyed plants the communication just nopes out and your client doesn't know which plants are destroyed

[frosty gale]

okay

[topaz scarab]

oops i never switched it back to 30

[frosty gale]

it did it for everyone

on the server

[clear lagoon]

yes. it's a bug

[frosty gale]

how do i go about fixing it

[clear lagoon]

the only way to fix it is to use a save editor to undestroy all plants and then destroy only the plants you really need destroyed

[frosty gale]

bruh

[clear lagoon]

I did say it's a bug xD

unfortunately don't have a magic wand fix for this yet 😛

[frosty gale]

can you do this in SCIM?

idk how to do this

[clear lagoon]

yes

[frosty gale]

how

[clear lagoon]

in options somewhere probably

[frosty gale]

dont see it

[clear lagoon]

oh it's in the selection tool

TIL

[frosty gale]

huh

[clear lagoon]

controls in the top left of the map

use the rectangle selection tool, select the whole map, scroll all the way down to respawn flora

[frosty gale]

flora is the animal life aint it

[clear lagoon]

no that'd be fauna

flora is plants

[frosty gale]

oh

[clear lagoon]

according to the google:

flora; noun; the plants of a particular region, habitat, or geological period.

[frosty gale]

ok

do i have to destroy it in game or is there a way

[clear lagoon]

..... you have nukes

[frosty gale]

limited

but yes

[clear lagoon]

well, I guess your next challenge is automating nukes XD

[clear lagoon]

well I mean I'm running the gnuplot on my client

which apparently already had it pulled in from stars knows where

I guess you could render it to a file on the server as well...

but at that point..... yknow, grafana XD

(still committed it to my cursed satisfactory-scripts repo for posterity)

[frosty gale]

the server got really jittery after i loaded that save

for a minute

and still is jittery

should i restart it jsut for the sake of it?

[clear lagoon]

might help idk?

maybe you got unlucky and some creature is clipped into a plant somewhere, who knows

[grim mica]

Cluster Nobs are great for flora clearing too, also very cheap

[frosty gale]

some of the flora just didnt come back which i dont mind

just weird

[edgy pasture]

Grafana is awesome… that used to be one of the servers that the ol bulldozer ran. I fed it sensor data from temperature sensors all over my house and controlled my hvac system with a PID control signal for each zone. I don’t have that house any more, so no more reason to run grafana… it was given the axe to free up some more of those (not really) vast resources to run my humble satisfactory server.

[severe badge]

Anyone here have any luck using -ini:Engine:[ConsoleVariables]:wp.Runtime.EnableServerStreaming=0
I assumed that disabling serverstreaming would drastically increase the memory usage, but I'm not seeing any difference between on and off. Wondering if I'm adding the parameter wrong in LGSM or something.

I've got a lot of ram (24GB) assigned to the virtual machine that I'm running the server on, so I figured I might as well put it to use. Assuming that it would help, but I could be wrong.

[clear lagoon]

I think the default value is off

lmc

[severe badge]

Oh wow, if that's the case than I've been chasing my own tail, lol

[clear lagoon]

after stopping server, deleting all inis and starting server it says this

wp.Runtime.EnableServerStreaming = "0"      LastSetBy: SystemSettingsIni

(on the linux distribution at least)

[clear lagoon]

you can check the current value for the parameter by entering it into the server console

[severe badge]

do you know the command to check that? I haven't found too much documentation on server console commands. Other than "quit" and "load save"

[clear lagoon]

literally just enter wp.Runtime.EnableServerStreaming

[severe badge]

oh well that works, one sec

[clear lagoon]

another one I would consider important is log

because stars is the default log config noisy

[severe badge]

yeah, I sometimes pull it from the server and skim through in a text editor just to be able to keep my sanity

[topaz scarab]

neat

[severe badge]

@clear lagoon Yeah, you called it. I tried removing that launch parameter, and the value stayed at 0

[vestal minnow]

hi guys, is it good idea to increase server tick rate from 30?

[severe badge]

From what I have read, it will only improve things if you have a decent amount of resources to spare. Even then, you probably won't notice the difference

[frosty gale]

@clear lagoon it happened again

[vestal minnow]

ok, as long as it doesn't corrupt save or make Blueprint maker goes out of whack then, I'm supposed it's okay. I do feel my game is more responsive especially when I jump around the map with Hyper Cannon.

[ocean canyon]

I have a bugged server file, is there a place to submit it to the devs for bug reporting? would a video of the error help?

[clear lagoon]

... guess I should update my log config for 1.0

[clear lagoon]

You can leave feedback on the QA site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

[ocean canyon]

thank you! couldn't remember if there was a site or not

[clear lagoon]

Most broken save files are recoverable (not all), just fyi

effort may vary

[static bone]

i got a odd question...

if someone have a minute or two

how come i cannot reach my Satisfactory server by external ip but i can reach my Vrising,Terraria,Minecraft,Valheim server by external ip

[clear lagoon]

satisfactory server doesn't come with a upnp client. you need to manually setup the port forwards

[static bone]

open ports for all the games

shit...

i think only option left is to contact ISP

[static bone]

thank you for the tip!!

realise what is going on

[clear lagoon]

do you not have access to set up port forwards in your home router?

[static bone]

yes is do

but i think the ISP is the problem

[clear lagoon]

for which ports did you setup forwards for satisfactory?

[static bone]

7777, 15000,15777

nad a few more i think

and

[clear lagoon]

and on which protocols?

per port

[static bone]

both

[clear lagoon]

I think you followed an old guide since the server listens only on 7777 TCP and 7777 UDP. nothing else

[static bone]

but... here is the snag though

even though i open the ports... still says they are closed

and i have checked and rechecked and then checked again

so i think the isp is the only choice left

[frosty gale]

so now my issue is im the only one who can't destroy stuff

[clear lagoon]

your WAN IP as displayed in your router (not using external sites) - is the first number 100 and the second number between 64 and 127?

[static bone]

first is 94

[clear lagoon]

are you running the server on windows? did you also setup the windows firewall rules as in the guide if you do? https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Windows_3

[frosty gale]

whos your isp

Yeah it jsut happened again edfhniufhuhfief

[clear lagoon]

I think we did state explicitly to limit your foliage destruction to the absolute minimum needed to clear your factories xD

you can upvote the issue on the QA site

[frosty gale]

i did

i cleared my factories, went to clear the swamp area i needed again and it did it again before i even started in the swamp

[clear lagoon]

you're sure all foliage was respawned by SCIM?

[frosty gale]

i selected the whole map

[clear lagoon]

I honestly have no clue what the limit is before it breaks, sorry

[frosty gale]

dang

[clear lagoon]

if you want you can try the following:
go to a world edge border distant from where you destroyed foliage
quit your game client and relaunch it
join the server again
travel back to your factories without using the thing you unlock in T9
if the networking is smart enough to only sync foliage in the initial login area in bulk this might help

if that works you can experiment with setting up a distant login/logout area with long hypertubes, or you can experiment and see if using the T9 thing works

[sterile apex]

Hello. I'm having some weird things happen.

First, my server is on the same machine as me. When I leave the game, I have to exit and restart the server so that my friend can keep playing when I'm done.

Also, I've noticed that Malwarebytes is blocking a LOT of IPs that are related to Satisfactory? I have various ports open. 7777 TCP, 7777-7827 UDP, 6666 Both, 5222 Both.

Am I doing something wrong?

[clear lagoon]

satisfactory listens on only two ports: 7777 TCP and 7777 UDP. not sure what's with all the other ports you opened
malwarebytes' probably just blocking internet port scanners. nothing new there 🤷‍♀️
windows servers have a known bug with the UDP listener crashing when someone leaves, happens very often

[sterile apex]

Hmm. So I can close those other ports then?

Also what is an internet port scanner?

[clear lagoon]

If they're not open for non-satisfactory things, yes. Like I said: not sure where you got those ports from.
Internet port scanner: There are whole server farms on the internet dedicated to scanning every single IP address on the internet for their running reachable services.

it generally takes about ten minutes between a device receiving a WAN IP and being hit with port scans xD

there's a reason why you have firewalls

[sterile apex]

Thank you for the infooo

And I had seen on a wiki that we needed those other ports. Weird.

[clear lagoon]

The official wiki has the correct port list: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Port_Forwarding_and_Firewall_Settings

Whatever you found is probably from Early Access, which needed two additional ports. But this is no longer the case since the game released

(and even then the now removed beacon port defaulted to 15000 and the now removed query port defaulted to 15777, so again not sure where you got the other two or that wild UDP range )

I have claimed and added the server from my network as well as started and connected to the server. However trying to test my basic port forward as well as a DNS based connection i get "server name pending" "not authenticated".
I have checked:
• Correct WAN ip
• Correct DNS records
• Journalctl logs
• Admin connection to local ip
• port status with canyouseeme (Filtered)

[clear lagoon]

just to confirm: you are connecting from outside the LAN this server is hosted in?

[opaque thorn]

so I added two other server profiles to test my port forwards. one is the WAN ip, the other is my DNS entry I have setup. both have the same message.
I have not actually tried to connect from outside the network cause i'm inside and a friend has not gotten on yet this evening

[clear lagoon]

If you wish to connect to your WAN IP from inside the LAN your router needs to have correctly configured NAT reflection

[opaque thorn]

ah let me check

[clear lagoon]

this is most frequently entirely unconfigured on consumer grade routers

[opaque thorn]

forgot about that

[clear lagoon]

in addition to the usual port forwarding, obviously

[topaz scarab]

so influx and grafana were pretty easy to setup and integrate

[clever acorn]

how long does it usually take for a new server to load a save file

[clear lagoon]

my gnuplot literally took 10min XD

[clear lagoon]

depends on the size of the save

[topaz scarab]

yeah but this uses an extra 220MB ram permanently

[clear lagoon]

never done that setup before but I've been considering it

[opaque thorn]

Ok so my friend got on and turns out I have something setup wrong with NAT reflection. It Immediately worked for my friend using the DNS entry 😭 1 hour of troubleshooting for it to just work for him

[clear lagoon]

NAT reflection is an advanced subject. on prosumer routers this usually also requires individual firewall rules for every ip/port you want to reflect

also note that all traffic through WAN reflection is also translated through NAT so you will increase your router load (probably by a meaningless amount if it's just satisfactory, but just fyi)

[opaque thorn]

yeah i run OPNsense which is... overkill to say the least but networking is a hobby of mine. not dabbled to much into NAT reflection cause all my stuff is either only internal or only external.

[clear lagoon]

1sec

[royal portal]

Hi guys

Does anyone know if we can teleport players or change the coords of a save file?

[clear lagoon]

with NAT Reflection enabled on the port forward for satisfactory you also need a floating firewall rule like this (but not disabled obv.) - in this example 10.0.0.85 is the LAN IP of the server

[royal portal]

a player in the save file*

[clear lagoon]

Yes, using external tools such as the Satisfactory Calculator Interactive Map (SCIM) https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

[royal portal]

I'm here but I dont see the option to change the location of a player for some reason

[clear lagoon]

did you load the save?

[royal portal]

OH

I have to right click the player

I see it now tysm

[clear lagoon]

[oblique dew]

Im looking for people to join my server, wether youre a builder, or a optimizer, just send me a dm!

[void cave]

I'm trying to set up mod manager with my indifferent broccoli dedicated server

ive gotten to this point but am a little lost with the intrustions

[clear lagoon]

#1201555265942724758

[oblique dew]

just saw, thank you

[clear lagoon]

I'm pretty sure this is the first time ever that there is dedicated server support from the modding community so you may have more luck reaching out to them if you have any questions

Considering you have chosen a commercial vendor I take it you don't need assistance in setting up self hosting for your server

[distant steeple]

is it possible to host a dedicated server, while playing on a different pc? when I try to boot up satisfactory - the game, not the dedicated server - from my main pc, it says the dedicated server is already running on my laptop

[clear lagoon]

Don't launch it from steam. You can only run one steam application per account at a time

The satisfactory server can run fine outside of steam. It doesn't use a session

[proven notch]

Has anyone else used AMP to run their server? If not I highly recommend it. Launched into docker in like 3 clicks. Super stable as well!

[distant steeple]

yep, I just clicked continue and it closed steam on the other rig but the server stayed open

[clear lagoon]

I guess that works too xD

[distant steeple]

is there a list of all commands I can use? I don't wanna go downstairs just to restart the server/game after changing one setting

[void cave]

Thank you all for your help, I found the file directory location

[clear lagoon]

You're going to want to set up sensible means of remote control for the server. And some degree of automation. Otherwise you're gonna get cardio exercise in when it crashes

[proven notch]

set up remote desktop and have it set to only accept connections from your IP space

[clear lagoon]

The server's built in commands are very rudimentary. You can basically tell it to shutdown

[distant steeple]

it's on my laptop downstairs lmao

eh I'm fine just running down there occasionally

[proven notch]

is on windows?

[distant steeple]

this is the setup

[clear lagoon]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Console_commands these are the commands as documented. Plus there's some ue5 internal commands you can use

[proven notch]

Good luck, mine was on windows too it crashed A TON. I can give you a script to restart it automatically if you want

[distant steeple]

oh, that would be nice

[proven notch]

I'll PM you

[clear lagoon]

You may want to set the server up to run as a service instead of using a script https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Automatic_-_Running_as_a_Service

[proven notch]

I had a problem with this, it would crash a crap ton and then windows would freeze

i've moved my server to a docker and 99% of my problems have ended

[clear lagoon]

Using NSSM?

[proven notch]

Yep

so i just wrote a python script to check and track how many crashes it has as well

[distant steeple]

eh I'll just play regularly for now, if it crashes I'll look into this stuff

[clear lagoon]

If windows was freezing the server was probably either going out of memory or you were experiencing a hardware issue. Userspace software normally doesn't have the capability to bring the OS down

But using docker is a valid workaround. Not sure how well that performs on windows

[proven notch]

it wasn't out of memory, it was something going on with the dedicated server

it works amazing, its been up for 4 days zero crashes, on windows it would crash at least 3 times day

[clear lagoon]

Oh right there's a memory glitch with the windows version which wouldn't occur when running the Linux version in docker

[proven notch]

yep

the server is a 8600g with 64 gigs of ram and at the time it was the only thing running, but mad did it make event manager angry

[clear lagoon]

Yeah I just recalled

Meh the windows version has so many issues I lose track sometimes

[proven notch]

i think thats what locked up the machine was the amount of errors it threw over and over as it tried to start it

Now i use AMP with Docker and host, 5 different games for my friends and I

[clear lagoon]

Is that like some kind of docker desktop distribution with a built in vm?

[proven notch]

you can just get docker for windows

[clear lagoon]

Different name, same thing apparently

[proven notch]

but amp is cool because it can post to discord. i'm messing with the api to see if i can get my friends to tell the server to restart from discord as well

[clear lagoon]

That's gonna be fun to keep in mind, people who don't realize they're running the linux version on windows

[proven notch]

right

[clear lagoon]

Keep in mind that the server doesn't save on stop by itself so unless amp provides that feature you can lose progress

[proven notch]

I can set triggers to perform actions. I'm still messing with the API. It looks like i can do it but I only found AMP Sunday at like 11 pm lol

[distant steeple]

btw how do I move blueprints from an existing save onto a server?

[proven notch]

C:\Users\"account"\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\blueprints

thats teh default location

just copy it ot the server at the same location

[distant steeple]

do I need to move them to/from a subfolder or anything?

[proven notch]

You might, i've had to do both

[clear lagoon]

You can abbreviate the part up to local as %LOCALAPPDATA%, then you don't need to know the username

[proven notch]

i just happened to be in my save file location

[clear lagoon]

The blueprints folder should have a subfolder per session. Works the same on the server. Server needs a restart to pick up new blueprint files

[distant steeple]

alright, thanks

I just need to make a new blueprints file cuz I think some stuff happened, amd there no longer is one

[clear lagoon]

Reminder to be careful with blueprints and don't use any that leave things behind after clearing them in the original designer

[distant steeple]

why, will they crash the server or smth?

[proven notch]

it can

[clear lagoon]

Yes actually

[proven notch]

on windows it might not start up with that

[distant steeple]

ah interesting

[proven notch]

i've had to go edit files to remove makers

[clear lagoon]

They crash the server on dismantle and during the daily restart as well as whenever you try to load a different save

Same issue exists in single player but it happens a little more in multiplayer and servers

[distant steeple]

will keep that in mind

so far it hasn't happened to us

[clear lagoon]

As far as you're aware 😛

Not sure how much attention a multiplayer host would pay to a crash report after quitting to desktop xD

If it even shows up at all if exit was gracefully requested first

Hrm now I'm curious

[distant steeple]

we haven't crashed at all, surprisingly

[proven notch]

what tier are you in, do you pause the server when everyone is off?

[distant steeple]

early tier 6, and I'm gonna have autopause off for now unless it starts causing problems

although up until now my friend has just been hosting by inviting me through steam

it was like 20 minutes ago I logged onto the dedicated server for the first time

[clear lagoon]

Should be fine since the level reloads once a day

[fleet aurora]

Is there any way to change what time of day the server auto-restarts? (Running inside pufferpanel, inside docker - not that it should matter)

It appears to default to 00:00 server time, which would be fine except that translates to 8pm local and it's somewhat inconvenient. And yes, I could fix the server timezone, but midnight is also not fantastic.

[native wraith]

Got a question about the daily reset. Is there any way to have the game automatically start again after the reset or does someone have to log in?

[topaz scarab]

it's the interval setting
yes it's poorly named

[topaz scarab]

leave the auto-pause option unchecked?

[native wraith]

I do that and every reset it well resets that option

[fleet aurora]

AH. Perfect, thanks! I read that setting as 'number of hours between restarts' lol

[topaz scarab]

any regular person would
dunno what css is smoking tho

[fleet aurora]

Coffee, presumably

[topaz scarab]

well that explains it

[native wraith]

I figure they just main line inject coffee into their veins.

[fleet aurora]

Mine does not do this btw, auto-pause has remained unchecked. Just for grins, have you tried removing/re-adding it from the Server Manager on your client?

[native wraith]

gonna be dumb here and ask what do you mean remove it?

[fleet aurora]

(you can also delete %localappdata%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\ServerManager_V2.sav while out of game)

[native wraith]

ahh yeah i can try that. see if it works tonight

[fleet aurora]

My server manager save got corrupted a couple of weeks ago and caused the game to crash on launch. Only figured it out by moving everything out of SaveGames\ and selectively restoring files until it crashed again. Sooo might fix it but no promises.

[native wraith]

i mean even if it doesn't its not that bad. itll run for a few hours while im at work and i can reset the time to when i get home so won't be terrible

appreciate the tip though

[indigo mortar]

Sorry to cut in, but can someone join my server for like 3 mins so that I can test and see how my hardware handles 2+ players?

[native wraith]

sure. i can't stay as im about to go to bed but i can join for a min

[indigo mortar]

pls do

[marble owl]

hello i used nitrado as hosting but i cant connect to it at all even if i rebind the port to 7777 instead of using the port they gave which is 10010

can anyone help

[fleet aurora]

Make sure you're using the Server Manager to connect instead of 'Join Game'. Port must be the same on the server as on your client. If they gave you 10010, you should be using that in both. They'll be running multiple servers on one machine so 7777 will either point to someone else's server or go nowhere. If you still can't connect, ask Nitrado support for help.

[marble owl]

ok thanks

its saying encryption token missing

[fleet aurora]

Make sure you're using the Server Manager to connect instead of 'Join Game'

[marble owl]

yes im using server manager

[fleet aurora]

ok. then likely a port forwarding problem Nitrado would need to help you with

[quick mist]

if you are willing to share the address and port I have a tool I can use to try to test both network endpoints for you

[distant steeple]

how do I change the port my server uses? I wanna change it to one that's already open, cuz my router's website isn't loading

[quick mist]

use the argument -Port=x to set the ports used to TCP and UDP port x

[marble owl]

ill send in dms

[quick mist]

sure

[civic wedge]

What dedicated server hosting sites do yall recommend? We have 5 players max, usually only 4-5 on at a time. Currently one player is hosting but it’s inconsistent when they are available to get on/afk and host.

[sinful sand]

help my friends cant join my serve but i can this happened after my internet provider did a maintenance in my area

[clear lagoon]

your external IP probably changed. provide your friends your new IP

[barren heath]

@clear lagoon interesting thing... when I play from Windows host logging off does not kill UDP sockert, but when I play from Linux via proton it does.

[clear lagoon]

UDP is stateless. The concept of a client disconnecting from a server doesn't exist

People playing with windows clients have seen the same issue and it's clearly a code crash in a custom udp socket implementation from CSS

[barren heath]

I am an SRE, I did not mention closing the stream

Just sharing my observation

BTW: I am still logged in as an Admin on windows box

[clear lagoon]

The socket gets a read error but who knows why. Maybe a fragmented datagram? I'm not experienced enough in netcode to know what could cause such an issue

[deep turret]

it's possible it's fragments yep

confusing the packet parser

[barren heath]

perser should not be killing socket

[clear lagoon]

I think it does on purpose in unreal but that the custom socket implementation from CSS doesn't handle that case so it just throws as well

They made a custom wrapper around multiple udp sockets in windows

The wrapper dies alongside the wrapped unreal socket which is probably an implementation mistake

[barren heath]

We'll left with only one option - wait for a patch

[clear lagoon]

Or run the docker version

[frosty gale]

it is doing it again, jsut got back on

started to clear ym area in the swamp for the 3rd time and the swamp is invulenrable again

[barren heath]

Out of my control - as game server is hosted by game server hosting company

[clear lagoon]

If it's specifically advertised as a satisfactory host you can probably cancel on them (and refund) since they can't provide functional service and switch to a different provider

[barren heath]

and my community cannot afford second server for the moment

no, we get whole dedicated server where we host multiple games

[clear lagoon]

How does that work if you don't have access to install game servers on there?

[barren heath]

They get installed from their panel

So we rent dedicated server from them, but they manage services and everyting on it for us

[clear lagoon]

And their panel provides satisfactory which doesn't work on their servers? Lol

[frosty gale]

idk what to do cause this keeps happening over and over, making it impossible to build on the ground here

[barren heath]

most likely they host just satisfactory on Linux - but as our host is running that winc**p - we are out of luck for the moment

[clear lagoon]

apart from the last potential workaround I offered you here #dedicated-servers message I've got nothing but "wait for a fix from CSS"

this is probably the most foliage dense area apart from the red forest biome so 🤷‍♀️

[frosty gale]

the workaround lasts about 5 minutes unfortunely

[frozen viper]

Any1 wants to share a dedicated machine on split price?

[frosty gale]

if i played on a singleplayer version of the save then uploaded it tot he server after i wipe it do you think thatd work?

[frozen viper]

Run from them

If you rent a dedicated server you get ssh to it

Not a sussy panel

[clear lagoon]

no, it's a netcode issue

[frosty gale]

oh okay

[clear lagoon]

the save file itself is fine. if you load it in single player the foliage will be gone. the server knows the foliage is gone. it just doesn't communicate it properly if too much foliage is gone

and what it doesn't communicate successfully is in default state: foliage existing

[frosty gale]

not much is gone is the unfortunate part, barely destroyed any

[frozen viper]

Satisfactory uses tcp, right? For some reason if you play long enough on hetzner server from the same ip (like month) ot will be slowing down for some reason, and getting ping up to 1500

[clear lagoon]

they did push new versions onto staging branch yesterday, but no guarantees that means a patch will immediately follow

[clear lagoon]

no. primary game connection is 7777 UDP

it uses 7777 TCP for part of the initial connection handshake and server status

[frozen viper]

Oh that's why its spamming in the console every time any packet is sent...

Udp fan / tcp enjoyer

@barren heath check dms

[clear lagoon]

also why would it slow down after a whole month?

[clear lagoon]

yes, datagrams! also you can change log levels of the server

(because holy shit is it way too noisy by default)

[frozen viper]

I worded it poorly. It usually does with TCP, so i was thinking if that's the case for satis

[quartz scarab]

There is a known bug right now that the server stops taking connections with SE_ECONNRESET when host logs off

[deep turret]

btw, the server does not literally implement sockets unless it have to build on a more primitive one from the OS
udp/tcp socket fondation is handled and defined by OS
then handled and setup by unrealengine,
then handled and setup by dedicated server control layer
so it is not a question whether or not there is misshandling or lack of safeguarding from the server manage/control layer
I was just sharing my guess at in what situation these problems may trigger

[versed sentinel]

known bug? im pretty sure devs dont know about it yet, but qa is made fair

[deep turret]

devs knowing about it is out of question too, because it's part of patch logs

[versed sentinel]

has nothing to do with the issue sadly

its just an api fix for other issue

[barren heath]

By socket implementation (from context) we are clearly walking bind() and datagram parsers here

[deep turret]

socket implementation is socket implementation, it's a technical term
while technical term can have some room for context, it can't say other things than what it does
the socket implementation is the implementation of the socket itself
and that is very mainly an OS thing
it could be not an OS thing, but here it is.

so I'm clarifying that it is an OS thing here
that's how misinformation spreads, some people will read that and take it literally (as it is supposed to be taken) and tell others that it is not implemented in windows OS when in fact, it is

I also am not supposed to be entitled to say whether or not :
the use was a stretch
or
the author was sincerely thinking it is not implemented by windows

[barren heath]

You are just wrong. Read what socket() syscall is doing before claiming things with such certantity.

[barren heath]

You are just going off-topic now.

[barren heath]

And HTTP API 😉

[inner sail]

Server crashed last night, some red message about a socket I restarted the server, but it won't let me connect:
I tried rebooting the host, and launching through steam in case that mattered, it's the same every way I've checked it.

[clear lagoon]

The four loglines you posted do not indicate any issue. initial ticks after save load taking long is normal

[inner sail]

I hit ctrl+c and it spammed a bunch of unloading messages, and now its working (it didn't close)

shrug it's working now

[spiral shore]

What is the Status on Arm Server?

[dusty vortex]

Not supported (so no change on status).

[sterile apex]

Thank you for the help!

[dusk stone]

I have searched quite a bit, don't seem to be able to find anything. Is anyone else having problems with Splitters and/or Mergers "lagging" to make a decision on a dedicated server?

[noble sluice]

Wrong thread for that...

[dusk stone]

Even though I am only having the problem on dedicated servers?

kk

[noble sluice]

You don't seem to have problem with the dedicated server.

[spiral shore]

will it ever be supported? any eta

[grim mica]

Have you measured an actual throughput issue? I see it all the time and it seems visual

[graceful jackal]

habt ihr eine empfehlung für einen hoster für uns? aktuell bei nitrado, bereits max tarif und dritter serverumzug bei nitrado. spiel läuft aber grottig. vormittags geht es noch halbwegs, nachmittags/abends unspielbar. ping jenseits der 200 und noch schlimmer die tickrate bei 4. man erkennt nicht ob ein band verstopft ist oder nicht, weil sich die items visuell nicht bewegen.

[dusk stone]

Yes, I have. I have done the math a few times and I am visually able to see productivity measurements in the machines being affected

I did a bit of reading, and that was what I thought was happening, however, the machines aren't reaching 100% efficiency and they should be.

[grim mica]

I do see it with Mk6 belts, but nothing else has shown to have a throughput issue with lower than about 1198, or any other (Mk5 and below) belts

[dusk stone]

kk, I am on MK5, I will keep watching/checking

[grim mica]

I see alot of reports of people having issues with lower tier belts, but I have not observed that before. They rebooted the server (stop and start) and it seemed to fix the issue but not sure how your mileage will go with that. Is the tickrate of the server holding a constant 30? I could imagine that having some issue on DS if its regularly dipping below

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66e9c987772a987f4a8b8a97
Also, are you on Windows? I had historically ran on Windows DS but recently switched to Linux due to the disconnect/offline issue and honestly Linux just seems much more stable than Windows on many different levels

[dusk stone]

I have tried the start/stop and thought it helped, although at this point I am not sure. Our world is getting fairly large. Every time I have checked, server seems to be maintaining 30 TPS

[grim mica]

Been using DS exclusively (never play single player) since it was released way back when and have done full end game base 'playthroughs' of each update

[dusk stone]

I am hosting on Linux, although I am running it through AMP game manager, and in a container. Not that doing it that way should affect performance.

and I am hosting it locally, so I have 10~20 ms latency between server and I

not running any mods

[hollow lava]

Quick question, has anyone tried running a server on a Raspberry Pi 5?

[graceful jackal]

no, i ran it in steam and it easily uses 9+gb of ram. so I wouldnt recommend it by rated by numbers

[grim mica]

Isnt a Pi 5 ARM?
Game will not run on ARM without emulation and paired with a comparatively slower CPU.. doubt it would run well if at all

[grim mica]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/66eb3a0c772a987f4a8b99e8
Switched to local hosted and the throughput problem goes away.. I dunno - does seem like there are still bugs with visualizations and actual throughput

[dusk stone]

Thank you!

[hollow lava]

You can run it on ARM

Oh nvm

[grim mica]

It will not run natively on ARM, folks have tried here

[hollow lava]

Darn

[grim mica]

It does run on an emulator, but poorly and crashes frequently

[dusk stone]

Not finding that post

[grim mica]

Oop, sorry added a S at the end

[dusk stone]

lol, got it, thanks

[dusty vortex]

Your privy to the same public information I am.
I've not seen any announcements to say they will ever add support for ARM but you may keep checking the announcement channel to see if that stance ever changes.

[graceful jackal]

can anyone recommend a hoster? we already tried the nitrado premium version, but we get only a tickrate of 4 in the afternoon and a ping 200+. we are not able to play that way.

[hollow lava]

I've seen people say good things about IndifferentBroccolli

Has a free trial too

[viscid jewel]

are there any updates on getting the dedicated server to start at tier 0?

[grim mica]

Nothing other than they are looking into the possibility.. Honestly not that big of a deal IMO

Just start using normal multiplayer, then upload the save to a DS once Hub is completed

I suppose you could also start a single player, load in, save it then upload it to the DS and have the same effect.. either way two very easy workarounds available. Hopefully they are working on more impactful things

[viscid jewel]

so it works properly if you start self hosted multiplayer?

[grim mica]

Creating a new world with dedicated always results in the 'skip introduction' or whatever checkbox being selected when you create a single/multiplayer game on your own. So, start a new game, dont check the box, save the game and upload that save to the DS, then load it - I dont see a reason why it wouldn't work once you got on the ground and can move around.

And yes, normal multiplayer works fine for Tier0 starts

[graceful jackal]

thx. but seems pretty much the same. big drop in tickrate the moment i join

[hollow lava]

Could be an issue with your network as well, do the other player experience the same issues?

[grim mica]

What network quality are you using?

[graceful jackal]

we are 4 in total, everyone experiencing the same. i use a 1gbit connection, evering with cat 7 inhouse, i7-13700KF, 96gb ram, rtx4060ti. i tried running the dedicated on the same machine as my game, working without issues. everyone can join and play smootly. so meassured by this i would exclude network issues on my site. I would also go with this solution, but i am not able to provide it 24/7, so I'd like to outsource the hosting

[icy shuttle]

@dusk stone YES, i came here thinking I had to post something myself. I started a new factory but on a dedicated server for the fist time. Things back up at splitters and going into the sink and storage boxes. This is with MK1 belts. It does appear to impact throughput on the machine. I had the thought it could just be visual but it isn't.

Our network quality is set to ultra on both the server and the clients that connect.

[grim mica]

I would not use Ultra unless your hardware can handle it, adds processing load and will decrease tickrate, especially if multiple players are on.. might be okay with 1-2 but any more and I would switch back to Medium

[icy shuttle]

There are only two of us. If i turn it down on the server, would it matter if the clients are set to ultra?

FPS seems ok. HOw can i see the tick rate while in game?

[grim mica]

You can check it with server manager UI, alternative is using the API to pull the tickrate and plot it

Last I was testing, server network setting overrides all others and will cause the client to negotiate at the set speed

[icy shuttle]

perfect, thanks

[quasi lion]

hello, just a not so important question ... but is it possible to assign a color for a user? what i mean is when a user logs on to the server he always get the same color 🙂

[nova tendon]

Hello there. A friend of mine is setting up a dedicated server on Linux (Debian 12). And he actually can't manage to set the number of players > 4. Each reboot of the serv makes the settings back to 4 players.
Any Idea ?

Damn, he was working on it for the past half hour, without finding the answer, and the moment i post for help here, he solved the problem. Thanks anyway :p

[lilac pine]

If a mod is advertised as multiplayer compatible does that mean it will automatically work ... Or does the dedicated server need to be modded some how?

[frosty gale]

dedicated server needs the mod too

[lilac pine]

Hmmm time to figure out how to mod the wolveix docker 🤔

[frosty gale]

im not sure if this game is like other unreal ones where you can just copy over the modified pak files or not

youd probably get a better answer in the modding server

[rocky raptor]

...I forgot the admin pass to my server. Not the machine itself of course, just the game I'm playing. I'm the admin. It's on my computer.

But also I just rebooted the machine and suddenly says I need to authenticate.

[clear lagoon]

You can stop the server, remove the ServerSettings.<portnumber>.sav file and start it again to put it back into setup/claim mode. Note: this deletes some settings you set in the server manager (auto save, restart time, pause, server name, auto load session name, admin password, player password, the self-signed certificate)

[feral dawn]

Any ideas if i can specify where the user folder exists for a dedi server?
I dont want my save files and stuff inside %localappdata%.

[clear lagoon]

Only by creating a symlink from localappdata to where you actually want the files to be stored

[willow nacelle]

anyone know of a bot that can track server status and maybe backup saves?

[feral dawn]

ah that's a shame

[clear lagoon]

why? are you trying to hide the presence of the FactoryGame folder?

[feral dawn]

running multiple servers under the same user account / service account.

[clear lagoon]

it works as long as you keep the port numbers and loaded sessions different

i.e. don't load the same save on two instances

[feral dawn]

yeah, but from a hosting perspective it's really crap lol

[severe nimbus]

Alright. Anyone looking for a Pioneer for their dedicated server?
I'm at end-end-end game and feeling bored alone 😄
600h in game
Would prefer to join on an early tier
I love blueprints
GMT+2 time zone (00:34AM at the moment)
I usually play 10PM - 2PM my time

[clear lagoon]

a commercial provider of game servers would hopefully at the bare minimum run the server instances as either separate users or separate containers

[clear lagoon]

You can use #1201555265942724758 for that

[severe nimbus]

Thanks!

[feral dawn]

Yeah im sure they do, but even still it's a weird decision to not allow a config option or parameter, but that's just me.

[frosty gale]

anyone having those HTTP errors too?

[clear lagoon]

you get that when it gets hit by a port scan, or someone tries to connect over HTTP

[frosty gale]

nope

I tried pterodactyl the github docker image and i always get encryption token missing i whitelisted the ports that were needed via my anti ddos ( path.net ) firewall

even with a internal VPN ( my friends Server ) it wont let me connect and gives me the error

[clear lagoon]

no I mean that's usually when that error shows up. I didn't realise you were asking for advice for a connection setup issue

[frosty gale]

oh alr

[clear lagoon]

encryption token missing? are you trying to connect via the in-game server manager?

[frosty gale]

uh

i just got the game

i just used wait

this option

[clear lagoon]

Please use the server manager to connect to servers, the multiplayer join menu is for joining Epic or Steam friends in their non-server multiplayer games

then you can fill in the IP and port for the server

[frosty gale]

W

seems working

imma create it

thank you very much ❤️

[clear lagoon]

You're welcome!

[clear lagoon]

Note, if you just got the game, I suggest you play in a regular single player session up until the last HUB upgrade, since the tutorial and intro cutscenes are forcibly skipped on servers

[frosty gale]

i play with friends

they are pros

[sage bear]

Is there a way to add a second game to my server? I dont want to wipe my originally game so that others can keep playing, but i want to start up a new game and it doesnt seem to want to work.

[frosty gale]

create a new game

[sage bear]

I did that, and it wiped my original game.

[frosty gale]

wdym wiped

it just creates a new save folder in the save menus

and loads the new save instead

[sage bear]

The original game1 was no longer in the list of playable games, only game2

[frosty gale]

did you go to Load Save

[sage bear]

Yeah, thats how i got it back... So is this just a GUI issue, where it doesnt display game1 and game2 to choose from easily?

[clear lagoon]

where else would you choose a game to load than the load save menu?

[sage bear]

You say that like there isnt just a JOIN Button on the bottom right... are you going to LOAD every time you go back into your game?

[clear lagoon]

the join button loads whatever save is currently actively running on the server

in other words: you join the server as it is running whatever you loaded on it last

[sage bear]

Right, so if i "Load" my new game and while im playing, can others still join the old game, or are they going to join my new game?

[clear lagoon]

They will join your new game. One server instance can only run one game level at a time

[sage bear]

well that doesnt answer my original question...\

"Is there a way to add a second game to my server? I dont want to wipe my originally game so that others can keep playing, but i want to start up a new game and it doesnt seem to want to work."

[clear lagoon]

You run the server a second time on a different port number

i.e. if server one is on -Port=7777 you could run server two on -Port=7800

[frosty gale]

you run a second server

[sage bear]

Good to know, not quite how i would have designed it. thanks!

[frosty gale]

not to be that guy but there is literally no other game that allows that

[sage bear]

well thats not true, but thats ok.

[frosty gale]

what game does

[clear lagoon]

most dedicated servers as distributed to individuals to self-host are usually running one level at a time, i.e. look at valve's source dedicated servers.
commercial providers or "official game servers" tend to be a cluster of very many servers working together as a cohesive whole

anyway, that leads to #off-topic-tech xD

[cedar jackal]

does anyone know why my server completely stops when i disconnect?, in fact it goes offline, however the command line window stays open and doesnt state it was shut down

[frosty gale]

well shit I think my server has a bad power supply or something

[frosty gale]

im so sorry

[cedar jackal]

i am running the dedicated server from steam tho

[frosty gale]

that doesnt matter

[frosty gale]

you have the udp socket bug, and the fix is to run the server on linux or try a different machine

[dusk stone]

We have adjusted this too and didn't see a change

[grim mica]

How big is the savefile? Kinda interesting its not working on hosted DS but does on a local (albeit powerful) CPU

[frosty gale]

what does network quality even do

[deep turret]

increase bandwidth usage by throwing more information to clients

[wise vapor]

i had a game crash and when i respawned, my "original" self was left floating in place but i spawned as a completely new character. is there a way to resolve this?

i've tried a few things wrt my server but none of them let me spawn into the game as myself

i had some pretty nice items on me that are hard to get back at this stage of the game

[frosty gale]

when i created a game how can i reset it again?

[grim mica]

You can just kill the other pawn, poke or smack with the sticks
Long term, make sure nothing changed in terms of how you were logged in (Epic or Steam) at the bottom left of the main menu. If you crash out of a DS again make sure to NOT join until the player count drops by 1. You cannot load into an inhabited body and probably didnt time out before rejoining after the crash

[deep turret]

wdym by reset

[grim mica]

Reset what exactly? The world? Just goto create and make a new one

[wise vapor]

i assume there will be a death crate but will i get my belongings back?

[grim mica]

Yes, all inventory will be in a crate as if you died from a creature/fall/etc

[wise vapor]

nice i see it has equipped items as well

[frosty gale]

nvm all good

just restarted the server

[olive geyser]

Ive run into a strange issue when creating a dedicated server on ubuntu, it runs fine in the terminal, but when I check on the game client it just says "This server appears to be offline" but ive been able to ping the server with netstat and ss -plnut to check if ports are open
Ive been swapping between ports 7777 amd 25565 because ive had issues with 7777 even after changing firewall rules
Any help would be appreciated

[wintry gull]

modding dedi server; dorking google only gives me outdated stuffs, is this stable enough yet?

[frosty gale]

barely

[wintry gull]

Fair enough 😂

[atomic acorn]

this game makes my brain hurt

[barren heath]

You Award game client uses TCP and UDP on the same port?

[keen vortex]

dedi modding was working in U8, although you had to be careful in choosing mods. 1.0 modding just came on line in the past day or so, so there's not much of a community baseline to evaluate how well SML works on dedis, although it does nominally work

[wintry gull]

Ty yeah I had one running back then and just came back around for another play through. Wasn’t sure what the community consensus was atm

[acoustic trench]

Hi I have never made a satisfactory server and I wanted to do it for 1.0. I am able to join the server and I am on the same network as it. However when my friend puts in my IP to find it the server says it is offline. I'm not 100% sure what I am doing here so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am just on windows 11 and I created the server using steamcmd

[elder cove]

Gibt es hier Deutsch spachige Spieler die lust hätten auf Satis?

[fringe yarrow]

do dedicated servers support mods now?.

If so, was it a new feature that dedicated servers never had until now?

[zenith fjord]

Did you do the port forwarding stuff?

If your friend is not on the same wifi network as the server then you'll need to

[ionic totem]

i started a multiplayer session with a friend through steam aka without dedi, i now want to start a dedi on my vps so my friend could play when i'm not home. How could i transfer the save files to the server so we wouldn't have to start over again?

[burnt saffron]

yes

you can

you have upload save file directly from your existing saves

truenas scale new version electriceal named, will how support yaml editor, and native docker instead of using kuberneties to deploy docker images

[clear lagoon]

Other way around: modders have decided to start making mods available on the server

[calm saffron]

Been running into a crash recently on my dedicated server (attached) - it doesn't seem to be the same as the other SIGSEGV (11) crashes as it doesn't mention pipes (for example), so not sure what's causing it 😬

Dedicated Server running on Linux, no mods. I do have a really high latency to the server (>300ms), which has all sorts of fun effects 🤔

[clear lagoon]

Second time I've seen that crash. I'm not sure yet what an mOuterBuildable is yet. Is the server crashing when you do something specific?

[calm saffron]

Not that I've noticed - crashed once after placing a blueprint, the second time I was about to try and fix an issue with a blueprint I'd placed (conveyor belt wasn't registered as connected).

Hmmmmmmmm. It crashed again the second I tried to interact with the dodgy blueprint.

[clear lagoon]

Yeah you can't fix corrupted blueprint connections. Have to remake it from scratch since you can't fix it in the designer either unless you never cleared the original

[calm saffron]

Argh.

[clear lagoon]

That connection will be bugged in all copies of the blueprint. You'll have to delete it in an external editor like SCIM

[calm saffron]

Yeah, that's going to be fun. Thankfully only placed one copy of it.

[clear lagoon]

Did it crash when you tried to dismantle a conveyor or something?

[calm saffron]

I've had a few crashes - not sure what triggered the original one (happened shortly after placing the buggy blueprint), but I can currently reproduce it by attempting to dismantle the dodgy conveyor, either by itself, or when dismantling the entire blueprint.

[trim robin]

Eh no it’s memory loss blueprints cause much ram usage

For no reason

[clear lagoon]

@calm saffron is there any chance you don't mind sharing the save with the crash on it? I literally don't have a single buildable with an mOuterBuildable property so I'm curious if this is a runtime non-persisted property or just something that happens when you build something in a specific way

[calm saffron]

Sure.

Hum. Attempted to remove the dodgy blueprint with SCIM, but now it crashes on loading the edited save with Attempted to disconnect an already disconnected connection: FGFactoryConnectionComponent /Game/FactoryGame/Map/GameLevel01/Persistent_Level.Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.Build_ConveyorLiftMk2_C_2147458488.ConveyorAny0 <-> FGFactoryConnectionComponent /Game/FactoryGame/Map/GameLevel01/Persistent_Level.Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.Build_ConveyorLiftMk2_C_2147458386.ConveyorAny1

Ah, possibly missed deleting some things 🤔

OK, the fixed save won't boot up on the dedicated server for some reason, but did load up on my Windows machine. Weird 🤔 Gonna save it again then try and upload that save to the dedicated server, see if that fixes it.

Yep, that fixed it. Very strange, but at least it works now.

[regal marsh]

so far no serious issues for a day with these
one client crashed with the belts mass upgrade tool (on equip) and had to be killed, then he could get his inventory and get rid of the tool (reported to mod author)
(vehicle elevator sometimes does not "unlock" the vehicle when it arrives at the end...expected worse :D)

[acoustic trench]

I think I figured it out. I did the port forwarding for the firewall, but not for the router. Now it’s working

[ionic totem]

The wiki says the server must be "claimed" before it starts the world. Is that done inside sf aka client? If yes, then that means it's a race between me and all of the chinese ip sweepers

[regal marsh]

who would waste the time, its pointless

but yes

can always delete the serversettings .sav and unclaim it

[prisma vector]

Me personally I'm not able to get it to work since it went to 1.0. Here is some context. I am running a Ubiquiti UDM PRO firewall and in there I have set port forwarding rules from my server in both UDP and TCP on port 7777. My local ISP router is set to bridge mode so it shouldn't interfere and my UDM Pro is (since always) being used to do all port forwarding rules. Up till now it was always working, but us with the friends now trying to set it up again....no luck. 1.0 seems to have killed all Dedicated server set-up "easyness" they claimed it was going to be 🙂

so is there still a different port or something to be opened? I have followed all steps and it always used to work, simple windows server, very simple straight forward set-up.

[regal marsh]

7777 tcp and udp
thats it

[prisma vector]

ok....connecting to it using my local LAN it works, but none of my friends can connect through my IP. Also checked if port is indeed open and it says it is 🥺 . So even more context : Server is set-up on 192.168.50.184 . Firewall is on local ip 192.168.0.207. On the firewall I have configured ports 7777 for tcp and UDP for the IP 192.168.50.184 . Exactly in the same way as it used to be. Should I delete the old beacon ports?

ps : I am obviously providing them my "whatsmyip' public IP address

[olive geyser]

Yep, tcp and udp both active

[barren heath]

You know tcpdump?

And have you setup firewall rules?

[barren heath]

Have you setup port forwarding on your router?

Show the output of:
iptables -nvL

[noble sluice]

What is your subnet-mask?

[deep turret]

what do you mean by "firewall is on local ip .."
usually we talk about the firewall of the server machine
so it does not have its own ip
it's the ip of the server machine
