but an important part

#

meta l4proto { tcp,udp} meta th dport { satisfactory-ports } dnat to proxied-ip port proxied-port

#

is netfilter rule (nft)

#

(inbound nat rule prerouting hook)

clear lagoon
#

Wait is iptables a frontend for netfilter and firewalld and ufw front ends for iptables?

#

Frontendception

#

Programming™️ : abstraction over abstraction over abstraction over assembly

deep turret
#

iptable now is more of a frontend for nflib driver
which is front end of netfilter
and firewalld and ufw should tend to get to use nftable directly now (nflib)

#

I think ufw can use nft directly (without iptables) now

#

I should say nftable instead of nft

#

but for me nft is for nftable please keep myself believing the other nft thing does not exist

But but stupid ape pictures! Or whatever it was called xD

They're unique and definitely nobody can screenshot them!

gigantic thanks to @narrow raft for going above and beyond with helping me troubleshoot my WAN connection issues to the dedicated server
In the end the problem was easy and totally on my side
Thank god people like him still exist ❤️❤️❤️

deep turret
#

what was it then ?

narrow raft
#

It appears that a blocking firewall rule for the server exe may have been accidentally created while trying to follow a guide somewhere, so just allowing traffic on the ports after didn't seem to work

deep turret
#

oh

#

So not all rules were deleted before wiki script or something like that ?
and misclicking on rules tries

narrow raft
#

I had them print the entire firewall ruleset using powershell, so seems like it yes

deep turret
#

ok very nice of you
I wouldn't have gone that far

narrow raft
#

To be fair I scrolled through it while cooking dinner 😂

magic jolt
#

I honestly have no idea how it happened

#

I can imagine when I first started the server that I got some kind off request to allow network access for that exe which I might have misclicked and denied hence the firewall rules were created

quick mist
#

The fail-safe option if there are conflicting "allow" and "deny" rules is to deny the traffic. The better option is not to allow conflicting rules but Windows is Windows.

deep turret
#

if you say no on the usual propmt dialog
it just does not create the allow rule (creation permission denied)
my guess is that you confused disabling rules to switching them to disabling network traffic

Hi I’m new here, are there any good sites I could just pay for a server? I only have one computer and don’t want to run it while also playing. Also…cmon CS just let us pay you for servers!

quick mist
#

There are several hosting options out there but this isn't the place for them to advertise.

#

I would recommend getting your own VPS and setting the server up yourself. You can learn some valuable skills that way and haveing your own host is a lot more versatile than paying for just a Satisfactory server

#

Also most game-server-hosting companies seem pretty slow on the update when patches come out

anyone else having issues with dismantling part of a blueprint, or the blueprint crashing the server?

#

When will they release the patch with the fix for the dedicated server that addresses the issue of going offline?

latent portal
#

dedicated server goes offline after i disconnect, it's hosted on my internet ip. i didnt have this issue before 1.0

granite crystal
lofty cradle
#

So I builded a big storage square in a 5x5 blueprint and when I place it, 1 belt contected to 2 of the containers is bugged, it can contain items but it doesn’t deliver them in the next container. I can take all item of the belt and remove the containers but when I remove that belt my server crashes (tried it 5 times so its pretty consistent) was wondering if this is a known issue or if I should gather some logs, save file and submit it as a new bug?

old pilot
#

i hope this is the correct channel for this
and sry for my bad english

i have a little older gaming PC
AMD 5800X
Geforce 3070
and 32GB of Ram
this thing is just laying around

Port Forwarding and DynDNS ✅

i want to use it as a Gameserver Dedicated i was thinking to use Linux for it but i am not realy familiar with that just some Basics of the Basics
what would be a good Distro to use for it should be easy to use

things it should be able to to in the end

  • runing the Satisfactory server
  • it shlould be posible to lock in from external to maybe reboot the system with auto start of the server
  • Auto start after power of and timed i can do via bios
  • nice to have would be a sanaty check of the server in case of a crash out restart

may in the futur more then one game so possibilty to switch would also be nice

any guids are welcome
thanks for helping me out in advanced

timid cobalt

Always a fan of TrueNAS / Portainer / Proxmox or similar

#

You could just start the server on windows, its easiest but doesnt match any of your criteria simply

old pilot
#

sometimes needs physical interaction

timid cobalt
#

I run a home server on TrueNAS Scale, with Satisfactory running as a custom docker image under Apps

#

Although its far out of the scope of this topic, you also get a free NAS :)

#

If you dont need the GPU for anything though I would take it out, it draws a lot of power

old pilot
timid cobalt
#

Yes

old pilot
timid cobalt
#

Youre not supposed to use the host pc for anything except console access, mainly over the webui

timid cobalt
old pilot
#

checked it

#

so i will leave it in winter is comming so a little bit of heating is fine

timid cobalt
#

If you care about power usage that shouldn't be a permanent solution

old pilot
#

yeah i will keep it in mind to get something smaller

timid cobalt
#

Also, TrueNAS Scale is going to have a major update next week, that will completely overhaul apps so either use the release candidate now or wait for it to be in full release

#

I wouldnt recommend using the current stable version and migrating

patent tusk
#

is there a server i can join?

tawny shadow
grand quest
deep turret
#

you don't need GPU at all

#

as long as the motherboad supports booting headless

twilit fox
#

it looks like my dedi isn't sending crash reports either.

shell cedar
#

Idle GPU power draws are really small, like in class of 10W? And running Satisfactory server doesn not load CPUs that much, no matter of CPU make/model. Even if you had it full of players on late savegame you'd be looking less than 100W of avarage power draw fro the CPU alone.. Not gonna heat much of a room space. For normal EU energy prices looking at range of 100-200€ a year for home server electricity? Satisfactory terms 1MWh runs the server for a year roughly.

untold finch
#

Ouch.. so one of the players in our group game forgot to check his blueprint and stamped down 2 copies of a broken one that crashes the server if deleted.. except.. if I go delete those in SCIM, then the server crashes loading the save.. yay.. any suggestions other than entomb the instances (and maybe the player) in concrete & pretend they don't exist ?

regal marsh
#

like my 7970 would draw up to 100w idle
but radeon VII just 20w
(so much power saved when pc running 24/7)

shell cedar
#

Number of monitors attached also affect in Nvidia cards, but that shuold not be issue for server

regal marsh
#

yep, plus amd also had some bugs on some cards with higher power usage when multiple monitors
not sure if fully fixed yet, I know it was 'fixed' many times 🤣

fossil nest
#

Can two people be admins on the server to have access to load saves and such?

untold finch
#

can I locate buildings by ID usign SCIM? (the log is telling me the id of the thing that prevents the save loading.. mebbe I can delete it)

deep turret
#

as far as I know yes ? as it is password guarded

untold finch
#

where does the dedicated server store which save it's loading at start?

shell cedar
fossil nest
#

ok so I made a blueprint (I have a bunch and they all work fine) and it works fine when you place it. But if you delete it or any part of it the server crashes

#

and it only happens with this one blueprint

#

thoughts?

#

I think it might have to do with the fact when I cleared the blueprint designer after making it one part remained

Hey, is IPv6 hosting not working properly or is it a me problem?
I want to host my server using IPv6. When using the temporary ipv6 from my server(laptop) i can see the satisfactory server stats/time/ping etc. but i cannot connect (Your connection to the host has been lost).
I checked the port forwarding and firewall settings and they should be correct.

fossil nest
weak anchor
#

hmm that would be a shame. Though on the wiki it doesnt say that IPv6 is not possible.
Even the changelog says IPv6 is supported since 1.0
Also the server console states that it recognises the clients IPv6 adress and even accepts it.

fossil nest
#

Weird, I was poking around QA and there were other IPv6 things on there. I use IPv4 so I don't really know

weak anchor
#

Maybe I can find some information later on to fix my issue. I guess I will stick to other methods for now

clear lagoon
#

IPv6 notation parsing is horribly broken in the client (the udp lightweight query & TCP server manager work, but hand-over to game protocol loses the closing bracket on the ipv6)

#

(on windows you can also abuse the fact that a fully-qualified long-form ipv6 without square brackets [ ] (and no short notation!!) gets parsed by the DNS resolver)

If I start running into issues with belts/foundations out of sync between myself and the dedicated server is the best resolution to restart the server? Reconnecting didn't seem to fix the problem.

Gotcha, I wondered about that. I just quit to main menu but will try full restart in the future. We just started messing around with multiplayer so I wanted to be armed for any issues that arise. Thank you both.

Hey there! Wondering if there's now a way to broadcast a server message (say, prior to a shutdown). I know it wasn't possible before, but I'm hoping that maybe it's been released as part of 1.0 and docs haven't been updated yet.

quick mist
#

Sort of. If you're in-game you can press Enter and send a chat message to all players. AFAIK there's no console command to do something similar.

silver kelp
#

Bummer, thanks.

neat iris

It's buggy at times but most of the time it's okay. Very convenient

twilit fox
twilit fox
#

if you need a gpu, then my recommendation is to either get a nividia one, and mine on it, or intel for video encoding. otherwise, after you've got your OS installed, you can use RDP if windows, or SSH for linux to access your server.

#

The bugged blueprint issue.. someone built a bunch with them on my save and not only do they have broken belts, deleting any part of it causes a server crash.. I haven't tried to use scim to delete it yet but I guess that won't work either

Hi, I'm running a dedicated Satisfactory server in docker (using https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server). Since today the server keeps crashing every 10-15 minutes, even when there's no players online (auto pause is off though). There are no errors in the console, nothing in the logs, it just hangs, kicks players with a timed out notification and stays offline until I manually restart the docker container. Does anybody have any idea why or how this could happen? Thanks!

Gotcha, let me check how to best do that, you probably want to add it to the startup param

Okay, in Engine.ini add a header and the commands for

[ConsoleVariables]
net.MaxNumberOfAllowedTArrayDeletionsPerUpdate 4096
net.MaxNumberOfAllowedTArrayChangesPerUpdate 4096

see if that works?

#

Might have to do Update=4096, but would need to test

is steam cmd something else then steam?

#

that would explain it then

topaz scarab
#

might be in system dmesg

neat iris
#

Not too much of a fan of using a docker container to run satisfactory but my best guess is just out of memory

#

Never have I had my server just crash or kill out of nowhere

topaz scarab
#

mine's in an lxc, so this is what i got from dmesg last time it memoryleaked over a week

ymmv

#

but also if it ooms 10 minutes in with 12G, something else is going on

#

unless your ram's oversubscribed?

The server does have some other stuff going on, but without running the satisfactory server I still have about 16GB free according to htop

hello , mine dedicated server drop off after while even friend is on it. some someone recomended how make server go up after crash or something?

grim mica
half sable
#

going offline more likely

grim mica
#

The only known fix right now is to use Linux instead of Windows as it doesnt occur on that OS with the DS

half sable
#

okey thx for info

grim mica
#

Based on what Snutt said on last stream, should have a patch within 2 or so weeks hopefully

half sable
#

is there some way for remotely stop and launch it from mobile?

twilit fox
#

If you're running linux... you can use termux to ssh into your server.

grim mica
#

Might be able to call a quit/exit with the web API since the TCP port stays up, but i have no idea how to do that

twilit fox
#

Just have wireguard or tailscale setup, don't open 22 to the internet

grim mica
#

Not sure SSH will help with Windows? 🙂

twilit fox
#

Oh..

grim mica
#

Get your save fixed up?

twilit fox
#

Microsoft has a rdp client in the play store

#

No, I'm still at work

grim mica
#

Would need 3389 opened, arguably wayyyy less secure than SSH

twilit fox
#

wireguard or tailscale again xd

grim mica
#

True

twilit fox
#

If you want to remote into a machine on your network, there's really no reason to not use a VPN solution.. it solves so many issues before it starts

#

I'll try to fix my save tonight. I've got a few other things to work on. What I've understood is delete the affected area in scim, and then delete whatever it complains about after

#

I can't help but feel some type of way about the 1.0 launch, I love it but I really wish they would have waited and ironed out the major issues...

grim mica
#

Sounds about right, @clear lagoon is more keen on the blueprinting issues but from what i've gathered there are issues with power poles, belts or other things that get bad connections inside the blueprint that cause the crashes. Removing via SCIM and potentially placing into blueprint machine and re-saving might fix it, but I personally havent experienced the issue as I hand build most of my logistics/machines so have no complicated blueprints

twilit fox
#

I've hand done everything.. but some of the people I play with made extensive use of blue prints

grim mica
#

I cannot deny they certainly fixed alot of bugs with DS, map was basically never working properly after U6 with drones/trains/stations and now it mostly works but there are still glaring issues with it vs what you get in single player - just as ONE example among many..

#

Have you run into the drone bug yet? That one is really fun and makes me nervous as hell that it will at some point contaminate production lines

#

The best part is.. the drone bug was fixed in U8 and its back in 1.0.........

twilit fox
#

What's that?

#

I don't recall it, but we didn't really use drones on u8.. now I'm using them for my nuclear powerplany

grim mica
twilit fox
#

Ohmy.. not yet

grim mica
#

You dont get it until 16-20 drones are active

twilit fox
#

I there, I've got 30 ports I think

#

So.. I think I need to setup smart splitters and sinks on my powerplant incase someone else sets up drones and it dumps something into my uranium line

#

That's arguably more tolerable than BP issues tbh.. at least you can prepare for it

grim mica
#

Yeah, my concern is when they fix it - which port is it going to send the drone to, the one in the selected destination or the real destination.. I probably will just use SCIM to clear inventory of everything and belts if it gets contaminated, no way am I going through like 150 manufacturers and all of the beltwork to clean that manually

#

All fed by drones except the uranium cells

I am going to load the save up in SCIM now and check the name of every port

flat wadi
#

haha gl

#

ctrl-f and copy paste each port name lol

#

okay so I've never worked in SCIM... haha how do I load my save there? I have my save file ready, but not sure what to do next

grim mica
#

Open Interactive Map and at the top right there is a little save kinda thing

flat wadi
#

thanks!

grim mica
#

A bit more advanced but if you right click the port and goto advanced debug it should give you an ID

#

If you check crashcontext, it might tell you which port is causing the issue and just need to find it with the advanced debug

flat wadi
#

sweet thanks!

#

sorry got lost where is crashcontext? in one of the crash report folders?

grim mica
#

Near logs, folder called Crashes instead of logs

flat wadi
#

yea I see a runtime-xml file

#

called crashcontext

grim mica
#

yarp that will have the full crash/dump

#

IIRC i includes the ID of the object having the issue

#

Persistent_Level:PersistentLevel.Build_DroneStation_C_<ID>

#

DroneTransport or DroneStation, I think would be the two you want to look for

#

Transport being the drone itself and station, self explanatory

flat wadi
#

right

#

I dont see either of those in there

grim mica
#

Can you DM me the crashcontext?

flat wadi
#

I see DroneMovementComponent

just me

my buddies have not

#

I've reisntalled the game and everything

flat wadi

hmm I get it very occasionally, not regularly so I haven't really looked into it.

#

maybe verify game files too

opaque cargo
#

yea did too, this time, the crash happened, i came back in, I lost everything in my personal inventory and hands, legs, etc, no death crate anywhere to be foud either

#

usually it drops it where you last touched ground if you were in teh air, this time nothing, just all gone

#

OHHHH just found myself sitting, killed myself, took all my stuff back then almost revived myself.....trippy

Anyone recommend a good site for dedi servers ?

Is 8 gb ram enough for a server of 2 newbies? We only got small factories for now but spaghetti incoming very soon. I just don t want to lag when spaghetti comes around

quick mist
#

8G should be plenty for just two

#

this is the current state of a roughly 100-hour game just getting into nuclear power with north of 100 train stations and probably 130 trains running.

image.png
lone dirge
#

And you're using 6.7 gb out of 11.2 gb, correct?

quick mist
#

11.2 is the virtual allocation, of which 6.7 is being actively used and the rest is essentially "idle" and likely to be swapped

lone dirge
#

Fair enough, 8 is plenty then. Thank you for the info!

karmic tree
#

I have a blueprint that I need to tweak, but I know they're buggy. What do I need to do to avoid crashing the server? As of now it's a non-bugged blueprint. Can I load it in an MK3 designer, tweak it, and crucially, save it under its current name, not a new one?

neat iris
#

We're at Phase 4 now

#

and factories and automations running all over the map

neat iris
#

but just in case, backup if you're afraid of losing progress

#

actually, always backup

twilit fox
#

I think the minimum is still 12gb on the wiki, and that's probably a reasonable amount.. that said you can get a lot of play time out of 8g of ram on a server. just make smart decisions like install your OS on the server without a gui.

twilit fox

honestly, if you get path errors.. that means it can't find it.. so go back and confirm you spelled everything correctly xd

#

that's why I use short paths where possible.

#

you should probably have a seperate user for steam, because I'm willing to bet if you run id chris you'll see the sudo group show up.

old pilot
#

its runing

#

that fucking s

twilit fox
#

so if someone hacks your server, they can escalate to sudo once they have control of chris

#

and then that's your ass.

old pilot

thanks will creat steam

at the momentthis machien just has this erver nothing eles

twilit fox

you can also mount /media/m2/path/to/shit to /home/steam/factoryserver

or use symlinks in /home/steam that redirect back to /media/long/ass/path

#

that's a little more advanced I guess.. so baby steps.. welcome to homelab lol..

so, shit that's exploitable.. iot garbage, windows, etc.

Hello there! Just ran into an issue very similar to this one relating to foliage: #dedicated-servers message

Except it seems to be all objects for example dismantling and customizing structures etc. When the player logs off and joins the server again, all objects are updated correctly. Is this a common one?

uncut yew
#

We will try restarting the server more often and see if that helps. But i'm curious if those commands are also helpful to have anyways

grim mica
#

Those did seem to improve my recent experience with foliage and objects lingering around after deconstructing, though just a single person on a DS over LAN so not much of a test vs what alot of others are doing

grim mica

at least it's ubuntu desktop iirc

twilit fox

he's learning linux I think. we all have to start somewhere

karmic tree
karmic tree
#

Or is there a more general list of known issues and workarounds for them anywhere? Before I trip over the next one?

karmic tree
#

Do I just have to rebuild the blueprint from scratch every single time and hope all the machine connections actually work? And if they don't, start from scratch again?

grim mica
#

A list.. sure start reading the QA site and try to decipher where/how people are having problems

quick mist
#

So the thing with blueprints is they won't interconnect with anything automagically, so any belts, pipes, power lines, etc. that need to connect beyond the bounds of the blueprint need to be built after the blueprint is placed down. Usually this is a nominally small number of pipes/belts/rails or what-have-you

karmic tree
#

Connecting outside the bounds of the blueprint is not what I'm referring to. I had 10 smelters within said blueprint. 9 out of 10 had working connections. I had carefully waited for the audio cues for each one as I was making those connections.

#

Within the same blueprint is two electrode scrap refineries. The wastewater goes into a separate floor hole for each, and back to the sloppy alumina refineries. One of those water outputs didn't work. It was visually identical to the working one as far as I could tell.

quick mist
#

Hrm

karmic tree
#

The floor hole providing the necessary fresh water to this system also didn't work.

#

16 machines total in the system. So it's not even especially packed.

opal cove
#

there was a floor hole bug they fixed in the last patch, maybe blueprints built before that are still affected?

karmic tree
#

I think I'm going to try working on blueprints in a solo world, then see whether importing them to dedicated works.

anyone having issues with their server running into memory issues? I'm pretty confident I don't have any physical memory issues.

im using the biomass burner server from Shockbyte for 2 beginner players, does anybody know if it is powerful enough to last until end game?

solid ice
#

ran into the crash twice now

quick mist
#

that's not out-of-memory, that's a segmentation fault

#

basically, due to a bug trying to access memory that doesn't belong to it, so the OS shoots it in the face.

solid ice
#

oh I actually see that it might be an issue with my proxmox settings. I changed the CPU type. Fingers crossed it fixes the bug lol

quick mist
#

so long as you're not using the kvm64 CPU type configuration you should be good

#

(use host instead)

solid ice
#

it was set to x86-64-v2-AES. I changed it to host

quick mist
#

that should work (:

solid ice
#

hopefully that was the issue! I'm not sure why else it would be having that problem...

quick mist
#

from what I've read, if the CPU type config in ProxMox is the issue, it will manifest as the dedicated server running at first, but will crash when creating a new or loading an existing game.

solid ice
#

whelp. Is the memory issue a known bug, or is it something with my server?

quick mist
#

it's known to happen now and again; I don't think a specific cause has been isolated, but the server will sometimes just tip over with that SIGSEV. Runtime varies- mine stays up for days at a stretch usually.

solid ice
#

ah gotcha. Okay. I guess I just got unlucky lol. I'll just have to set up a script to restart the service if it goes down then

quick mist
#

there's an example systemd unit file that will keep it running for you - and even check for updates on (re)start.

solid ice
#

oh sick. I should have read that page better lmao

Where to find help about debuging the dedicated server? Mine keeps crashing once I leave the server
If I leave the server and close the game, after opening the game again the server shows offline
The server is running on the same Windows PC as the game.

uncut yew
#

Every 10 seconds or so, character freezes in place for 1-2 seconds

prisma estuary
#

are you running the server as a vm?

#

it is normally better to run the server on a dedicated machine.

grim mica
#

No that is actually a known issue if the dedicated is on Windows, when a certain person leaves the server drops the UDP listener. Its been fixed internally, just waiting for the patch to release

#

The only known fix is to run it on Linux instead, VM or bare metal shouldnt matter

tacit wraith
# prisma estuary That is typically an issue by it self.

Well it shouldn't be, a normal server should be able to be run on a normal machine without any issues and should not required a dedicated server / machine unless the resources requirements are too high due to a lot of buildings and entities

you're saving gpu usage, that's about it, and possibly a performance penalty while you are playing because youre running the game twice. just keep an eye on your server tick rate as your world grows.

grim mica
#

I mean these days GPUs consume more than CPUs it seems.. so fairly valid I suppose from a resource saving standpoint

gloomy silo
#

I'm running a dedicated server in a docker container and the server crashes and reverts to the last save whenever it tries to auto-save. It does not happen on manual save but it does happen on auto-save when a player logs in/out and when the autosave interval occurs. Checking the logs when it happens, it seems to be a floating point exception when generating the autosave name/Id:

#

Any chance anyone has encountered this/have any ideas/solutions?

grim mica
#

Can you also share the crashcontext? Certainly an interesting one

neat iris
#

I've seen more broken installs using docker than bare metal/vm lmao

#

for some reason

twilit fox
#

why do that when it makes much more sense to add more layers for more issues. I don't mind docker.. I just don't understand why you'd want to use it to run a single game server on a machine.. kind of like the people that want to host the server from the same machine they play on.

#

most people who run docker have the ability to either spin up a lxc, or a vm to run the server without docker, probably.

neat iris
#

I have too many game servers to manage like that

#

I use a control panel, which ironically runs using docker containers

Do big saves on servers take a lot of resources? Mine is taking about 200% cpu and 13GB of ram

pallid pike
#

I downloaded the satisfactory server tool on 2 computers on the same network, both from epic; I launch them both. Im able to connect to the localhost one compeltely fine but its showing the other one offline, the port is open so that should not be an issue

deep turret
#

the port ?

#

on the other computer you opened firewall ?

#

did you double check you are using the right local ip of the other machine ?

pallid pike
#

Yes

This happens when i check the port, dont know if its the cause but

deep turret
#

how do you check the port ?

pallid pike
#

portchecker co

deep turret
#

So I don't really understand which one you opened

pallid pike
#

Both are on 7777, but i try them independantly so one is off while i test the other

#

so port clashing should not be an issue

#

This is what its showing up as on my game

deep turret
#

you didn't answer clearly on my question on what machine you opened firewall on
and what ip you used

pallid pike
deep turret
#

that's the problem

#

it's not the public ip you must use

#

it will do nothing

#

it can't work

#

you need the local ip because you want to join locally on the local computer
public ip only points your router

pallid pike
#

so others can connect using public ip but i cant

grim mica
#

When you are local, you use the local addresss

pallid pike
#

well that fixed it

#

but

grim mica
#

When you are remote, you use the remote address - pretty simple

pallid pike
#

Now its saying connot connect to the server api

grim mica
#

Do you get a response if you try to browse to the server ip in a browser? https://<iphere>:7777

pallid pike
grim mica
#

Then TCP is blocked

pallid pike
#

But it isnt though

#

7777 Open

#

Ive checked on like a million port checking website

#

websites

vague quarry
grim mica
#

7777 TCP and UDP need to be open

pallid pike
#

Did that

grim mica
#

Port checkers will NOT test UDP connectivity, if they claim to - they are lying

#

Sorry, need to add :7777 to that in the browser

#

If you dont get this, then TCP is not making it

image.png
pallid pike
#

huh

#

thats weird

#

Ill try again i guess

#

@grim mica Can i use a upnp client? maybe my router isnt forwarding correctly

grim mica
#

No, the Satis DS wont open ports with uPnP

pallid pike
#

No like, i use PortMapper and manually map them

grim mica
#

You need to forward TCP 7777 and UDP 7777 to the server running the satis DS instance

#

What router/firewall do you have?

pallid pike
#

Windows firewall and a tp link archer ax something

grim mica
#

On the TP LInk UI do you see a 'NAT Forwarding' on the left side?

pallid pike
#

Ive done that

grim mica
#

Virtual Servers?

pallid pike
#

Yes

#

The ports are forwarded 1000000%

#

UDP and TCP

grim mica
#

I see, I havent ever heard of PortMapper, seems to just build a upnp connection for you I guess.. okay then

pallid pike
#

Yea basically

grim mica
#

Okay, if they are forwarded then the only remaining thing is the firewall on the local machine

#

Just turn off Windows Firewall for testing and see if you can connect

pallid pike
#

Ive tried compeletely turning it off temporarily to see if thats the problem

#

It isnt

grim mica
#

Okay.. so does it work internally, externally or neither?

#

When you add the server on the client, in the servers FactoryServer.log you should see connections from the source IP, do you see anything in the log?

pallid pike
#

Everytime i click on the server that says offline it logs with
[2024.10.24-20.45.02:951][368]LogNet: NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from: 192.168.0.55:64855

grim mica
#

And you are just getting cannot connect to the API and offline on the left?

#

Where is the DS instance running in relation to the client? On the same machine or another on the LAN?

pallid pike
#

Another one on the LAN

grim mica
#

So ignoring external firewall, LAN to LAN doesnt work - but you are getting Notify accepted in the logs.. hm

#

Can you get to the https://<ip>:7777 from the client that cant connect?

pallid pike
#

When its hosted on my pc it works

#

ill check

grim mica
#

You sure you the firewall is turned off on the server machine as well?

pallid pike
#

So i guess it has to be a firewall issue

#

This is on the hoster pc

grim mica
#

Right, LAN to LAN there is nothing else blocking

#

Okay that looks good at localhost

#

Try it without localhost, it should respond even locally on its assigned LAN IP - just to make sure its actually listening at that address

pallid pike
#

wroks

#

it works

grim mica
#

Allright, then you get a timeout/404 from the client trying the same in the webUI?

pallid pike
#

yes

grim mica
#

TCP must be getting blocked

pallid pike
#

Thats so weird, port checking tools can see the TCP port being open on the client pc

grim mica
#

Dont worry about external at the moment.. just focus on internal

#

If the client cant reach the api web internally, something is wrong inside the network, if its a flat subnet then the only logical problem is local firewall on the server or client

pallid pike
#

Ive tried connecting to the webui from other devices liek my phone and laptop that are on the same network and it times out

grim mica
#

The server is windows?

pallid pike
#

And the firewall is off on the hosting pc

#

Yes

#

I would host on linux but i bought the game on epic and cant download the server from steamcmd for some reason

#

I have the hoster pc connected via ethernet to another pc of mine without a wifi card thats sharing its wifi could it be trying to host it from that connection isntead of the wifi connection

grim mica
#

You can download the server from steamcmd with no license needed.. but either way..

#

What launch parameters are you using on the server?

pallid pike
#

im just launching it from epic

#

nothing

grim mica
#

As long as you arent binding it to a specific IP, default is to listen on 0.0.0.0 (all adapters)

#

Run Powershell and check the 'Enabled' field, all are set to 'False'?

Get-NetFirewallProfile -All

#

Ive never used the Epic DS.. but they should be the same between Steam/Epic so I doubt there is an issue there

pallid pike
#

this is the cmd result

grim mica
#

humm

#

I guess we can check the listeners to make sure they are correct.. sec

grim mica
#

hm, okay guess the wiki powershell is wrong

#

edited the above, look for the 'localport 7777'

#

should have a 0.0.0.0 and :: entry for 7777 on both port types

pallid pike
#

0.0.0.0 7777
:: 7777

this is udp

pallid pike
#

@grim mica I figured it out, it was actually broadcasting to the ethernet adapter for some reason, and not through my wifi

grim mica
#

Well.. that should have still worked, but multihomed machines are real fun sometimes

pallid pike
#

Could you check if it works on other networks if you are on currently

grim mica
#

You can add a launch parameter to the DS exe (make a shortcut) and put in -multihome=<ip> and it will force bind it to that adapter

#

Yes I can try to connect externally, DM me your WAN IP

#

Yep, I can see it - no level loaded though

pallid pike
#

Yeah havent made on yet

Hi, my Friend is trying to setup a Server but i cannot join. He port forwarded ingoing and outgoing tcp/udp and setup the Server with his (normal) IPv4 Address.
When hosting do you need to enter your normal IPv4 or your public one? And when joining which one do i need to input?
Trying to set up the Server with the public IPv4 didn't give us any options to name the server, etc. in game.
PS. we are not on the same network
Any help would be appreciated ty

Yes, when I wrote this I did create ingoing and outgoing rules for TCP & UDP as well but didn't do it in the router setting. Will try this later tho. thx

No need for outgoing rules.

Guys, I have a fairly big problem with our dedicated server, maybe someone has advice or even a solution:

We have issues with keeping the Server at a stable Tickrate of 30.
It degrades really fast, even after a restart.

Server

  • CPU: 1700X (8c/16t) - usually at ~15-20% usage
  • RAM: 32GB DDR4 @3000Mhz - server usually is between 6 and 10GB usage
  • Sitting in our local network
  • OS: Win 10 (Pro)
  • Dedicated Server is running as a service
  • Autorestart is set to 4h (was 12h before)
  • Server restarts fully once a week
  • Max tickrate or any other settings have not been made to the server
  • The game is not modded and the savegame has been created ~1 week after 1.0 launch

We are three people, two of which (myself and my girlfriend) are in the same network as the Server.

The Tickrate got as low as 17 today, while we don't have that much built. We are at around ~15-20GW Consumption with roughly 300h of combined playtime (server pauses when no one is online) and currently in Tier 8 (to get a rough idea how big our base is)
It recovers mostly towards 30, but sometimes stays on low-mid 20s.

We do build a lot of decorations, but Foundations, Walls and Beams shouldn't impact the tickrate as drastically, at least that's what I think.
And since we aren't near true lategame, we are wondering if there is anything that can be done.
I suspect there are also several crashes connected to using Blueprints, which we heavily utilize, but I am not sure if that'd effect the tick rate in such a way as well.
I have also experimenting with Network Quality, but I am not even sure if more or less would be better.

Aside from the tickrate the server very rarely crashes, but we do fairly often, which seems to be connected to loading assets, meshes and blueprints, so normal crashy-behaviour that is hopefully 🙏 fixed at some point, but not too annoying.

Is this just a bug? Is this normal? Any help or info would be nice!

# limber tartan Guys, I have a fairly big problem with our dedicated server, maybe someone has a...

single core rating is 2100 for that chip. Satisfactory recomends at least 2000, so you are right on the borderline. It relies very heavily on 1 CPU core to do the majority of the work. This will show low utilization numbers, when you are actually capped on the 1 core it is pushing. you may be hitting the limits of what that CPU can do. my Xeon 2697 v2s were the same story... 24 cores, but it can only push 1, and not enough for the games needs. had to move to my 7700k rig for more power.

#

did you upload both the sbp and sbpcfg files?

tepid bear
#

Yep, both, and no, session name contains only alphabet numbers

#

can you check file permissions for the blueprint as well as which user you're running the server as?

#

actually is that running in docker?

tepid bear
#

VDS on debian yeah

clear lagoon
#

did you incidentally name your user container? is this the user the server is running at? does this user have rw permissions on the blueprint files?

#

is the issue with your blueprints not showing up the only issue you're having?

bronze silo
#

is there a secret to making this thing more stable because damn

#

(also yes it's working fine most of the time I am just wondering why it never makes it for more than 12 hours)

neat iris
bronze silo
#

as long as I'm not alone lol

neat iris
#

I restart my server very often anyway. So what Id do is setup a scheduled task to restart the server every so often

bronze silo
#

I found it's more stable if I have a client connected so I've been idling when other people want to play lol

noble sluice
bronze silo
#

I'll let the server know and maybe i can shame it into not crashing anymore

neat iris
#

it may also just be your server system specs

bronze silo
#

its a 3975wx with 256gb of ram on a dedicated storage drive

#

single core score is a little low ig

#

zen2 smh

#

pbo is kicking it up to 4.2ghz tho

grim mica
#

How is the DS instance actually running? Put it on bare metal on that hardware, do you still get constant crashing?

bronze silo
#

its on straight bare metal rn

grim mica
#

I barely have gotten any crashes with 1.0, certainly has happened but not nearly as frequently as you are experiencing

#

What OS?

bronze silo
#

win10

grim mica
#

Are you sure its crashing and not just the offline bug?

bronze silo
#

i mean, i have to send it interrupts

grim mica
#

You Ctrl+C the console?

bronze silo
#

yeah

#

then it starts moving again

grim mica
#

After what occurs

bronze silo
#

play stops and/or can't connect

#

ctrl-'cure' lol

grim mica
#

You are the only person in the server, nobody joining/leaving and it just disconnects you until you press Ctrl+C on the console?

#

Is that actually restarting the process like it should or..?]

bronze silo
#

i haven't let it get that bad yet tbh

#

its just making the process go OH GOD WHAT WAS I DOING

grim mica
#

Ctrl+C on the Satis DS window will send a close signal to quit, no saving and it should close after that

bronze silo
#

and then it spits out like a bunch of the waiting status messages and a bunch of connection errors and I see it again

grim mica
#

Are you clicking in the console window..?

bronze silo
#

yes

#

see what i mean tho this is a fun one lmao

grim mica
#

The symptoms you are describing dont make any sense or match any known behavior to my knowledge.. so yeah

bronze silo
#

exactly

#

lolol

grim mica
#

What do you mean by 'you dont let it get that far'?

bronze silo
#

i switch over to the server from the client ASAP

#

sometimes it saves it, sometimes it doesn't, but an interrupt will not always make the server quit just remember what it was supposed to be doing

grim mica
#

That sounds like you are clicking/leaving an active cursor in the DS window

bronze silo
#

and then i can connect and do a clean shutdown from the client console and reboot because I'm not gonna try that instance again

grim mica
#

Run it with NSSM to avoid that.. or just dont click in the window it opens, like.. ever
Leaving an active cursor in a command window causes it to pause, that is user interaction causing the behavior not the DS itself

#

If you do click in the window, just hit 'enter' instead of ctrl+c and it will clear the cursor selection

bronze silo
#

I'll check next time but i pretty much just watch it and don't click in it and stuff

#

I just alt tab and ctrl c when I start not moving around in game anymore

#

you mean the solid white cursor and not the blinking underline output cursor right

grim mica
#

I switched to linux to fix a disconnect causing the server going offline, however I played my entire first 1.0 playthrough ~100h or so on a Windows DS and had I think two crashes related to the same thing (placing pipes too many pipes quickly) so I just slow down with pipe placement and havent had it crash or otherwise any issues that I can recall

#

This will cause it to pause

image.png
#

It will also say "Select" at the top left since thats the mode its in

bronze silo
#

got it

grim mica
#

I just hit enter and it resumes and spits out a bunch of crap it was waiting to display

bronze silo
#

I haven't seen that before but I might have not been looking for it lol

grim mica
#

Based on what you are saying, that must be what is happening..

bronze silo
#

but when i open an exe and it's just the path on the console I'm super paranoid about any other text showing up because y'know Console Powers Scary

#

I hope so

grim mica
#

I hit ctrl+c and the window immedately closes, if it doesnt its because you are taking it out of select mode

bronze silo
#

that would be the easiest fix ever

#

i should maybe add this to the wiki in the "help i am bad at console" section

grim mica
#

Why is console powers.. scary? Its just an application like any other launched with whatever user

bronze silo
#

windows xp prank batch files run as administrator lol

#

traumatic memories

#

the only reason I'm not a cautionary IT tale from the Bad Old 2000s is because we had Ghost

grim mica
#

Stuff broken? Reimage!

bronze silo
#

that definitely turned into an "every problem looks like a nail when you have a hammer subscription" though, we had a raid array multicasting images every weekend to almost every PC in the school 😩

#

anyway o/t but between ghost being console only and prank batch files and the posix environment generally, Text Powers Scary

regal marsh
# grim mica This will cause it to pause

yeah thats often an issue on dedicated servers on windows in games 🤣
one thing that might help prevent it is to right click the icon and set defaults
and then uncheck quickedit mode
then when you actually want to select/copy something, you can for example start with ctrl + a (select all) and then it goes into select mode, if you still need it to copy something
but it can prevent accidentally clicking and selecting and freezing the damn process (lol windows)

Hey guys anyone having issues with server mismatch?

I used the following command but shows that my server game is updated
sudo -u satisfactory-server -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/games/steamcmd +force_install_dir /home/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit"

Game Error:

#

also stop running Steam and game servers as the root user

#

that's extremely bad practice

urban pebble
#

yes hence the sudo -u satisfactory-server -s /bin/bash -c "COMMAND"

#

thanks it was the directory

quick mist
#

don't run Steam or game servers with sudo either

urban pebble
#

it runs as a service

quick mist
#

that's not what sudo does

urban pebble
#

no the server

#

sudo -u is to have satisfactory-server USER run it

#

without sudo

#

the command between the "" is the command the user is running it as

quick mist
#

I sit corrected; I did not see the -u parameter

urban pebble
#

i guess

quick mist
#

though since you have the satisfactory-server role user already, it would be better practice to just run Steam directly as that user, but sudo -u username is fine

#

anyhow- are you certain you're running the game server from /home/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/?

urban pebble
#

yeah it was my bad, i had the wrong dir heh

quick mist
#

Cool beans (:

urban pebble

thanks!

quick mist

anytime!

sudo is “superuser do” this btw

#

You’re ideally supposed to have a Steam account login to run your servers

quick mist
#

technically "set-user do" but its most frequent use is for superuser.

deep turret
#

it technically always is by super user
but then dropping down to selected user

quick mist
#

that's how it works (the executable has the suid bit set to allow it to work) but its function has always been described as "execute command as another user", not "execute command as superuser".

hmm, well getting a new CPU would be a bit annoying rn, I have to check if I can squeeze a bit more performance out of it, maybe disabling multithreading or some cores to boost the good ones. 🤔 Man that's annoying if that is really the case.
My Main PC has a Ryzen 3950X so that's a bit beefier, but I can't run it there, since I use that one for work and other things and it's not always online 😬

Quick Question.

When does one achieve to have specific area on the map be laggy? On a dedicated server, we only have a certain area where for everyone, the game lags really hard. Mainly the main base with storage. It takes like 4 minutes to stabilize. Are there conditions to be met to have this problem?

You use your mobile data while being connected to your pc/laptop as hotspot. And then try connect to your dedicated server from external.

You can run a satisfactory dedicated server on your phone. But will be bad in terms of fps you can get when you're connected to it

@sturdy gust FYI, if you start the container, let it download the game files and launch, but during launch you kill it again, it will never come back up, as it tries to clear /config/gamefiles/FactoryGame/Saved/Logs/*. The folder is empty, so this "fails". touch /config/gamefiles/FactoryGame/Saved/Logs/somefile.txt fixed it, but weird behavior nontheless.

#

It just happened again after I changed the network quality from High to Medium. We both were on the server when I changed the setting and neither of us has logged off since the change. Here is the logs I see in the console when it happened.

image.png
grim mica
#

There is a Network Quality on the server and on the clients, when changed on the client - must rejoin for new setting to take effect

#

What does the other client see for latency in servermanager? Should list it right below the server name on the main blade

mortal obsidian
#

31ms

grim mica
#

Both clients are getting good fps and no stutter otherwise?

mortal obsidian
#

His client is currently set to Medium Network Quality.

#

Neither of us are seeing any FPS issues.

grim mica
#

Hmm.. I would maybe try it directly hosting not via DS and see if the behavior changes - certainly not normal with low latency and stable fps

#

That would at least isolate it to a network problem.. but fixing that is usually not simple

mortal obsidian
#

Thanks. We will give that a try.

#

Another thing we are going to test is the next time it happens he is going to check his ping to the server to see if it spikes.

Does anyone know if I can connect to a server? I’m in China right now and I want to play with my family in Europe but the server is always shown as offline

deep turret
#

would be more useful if people setting it up comes here
it's the responsibility of host to set it up completely

#

Also China may use some kind of country size firewall

#

I don't know if you are using some kind of VPN to connect outside more freely

dusty escarp
#

I‘m using Mullvad VPN

#

Worked perfectly fine for everything else

#

But it always shows me that the dedicated server is offline in Satisfactory

I can give you the information though

#

The server is working fine for everyone else

#

Only for me it is shown offline

deep turret
#

and everyone else is in same home ?

dusty escarp
#

No

#

Same country but different towns

deep turret
#

what kind of address did they give to you ?

dusty escarp
#

IP address

#

Or what do you mean?

deep turret
#

ipv4 or ipv6 or dns

#

ipv6 is looking like 2603:6a4f:c3::b2e4:54

dusty escarp
#

Ipv4

deep turret
#

and your VPN provides ipv4 connectivity ?
there is obviously something going on

#

did you set your VPN endpoint to your family country ?

dusty escarp
#

Yes I did

#

It definitely does I think

deep turret
#

you would need to test your TCP and UDP connectivity separately
but I'm not fully sure you get the right address

#

you can try to put the address and port in your browser address bar to see if it join the server on TCP

#

you should see a {apierror: {something}} looking message if it connects

dusty escarp
#

I‘m sorry for being a complete idiot when it comes to this but I don‘t understand half of the words you are saying

deep turret
#

they gave you the ip and port

#

you tried to add their server in your game server manager right ?
put the same thing in your browser address bar
like this :
https:// ip:port /

#

without space

dusty escarp
#

Yes exactly

#

Okay one moment

#

It says this website can‘t be reached

deep turret
#

So either the address is wrong or your VPN is not working correctly

dusty escarp
#

The address is definitely correct

#

And my VPN usually works very well all the time

#

This is the first time I encountered this problem

deep turret
dusty escarp
#

Because my dad used the same address and it worked perfectly fine

deep turret
#

being in an other city ?

dusty escarp
#

Yes

#

I can also ask someone from another country to try

Hi everybody.

Same thing happened twice for me on two different hosting platforms (BisectHosting and Shockbyte)

  1. We start a new save with my friends.
  2. We reach a certein point in the progression (end of tier 8, where you need to do the copper pasta approx.)
  3. The server crashes more and more (Connexion TIMED OUT).

The first time we had tried paying for more memory at BisectHosting but it didn't help, so we thought our save was corrupted and started a new one at another server (Shockbyte).
Same exact thing started happening there.

I tried reading about that, and the only thing I saw was changing the game.ini to allow longer time before connexion time outs. It didn't help in the least.

deep turret
#

did you edited it on client or server ?

What's up guys!
Our save is growing and the game starts to lag and do some weird things.
I'm running the DS in an old laptop.
My question is if there are any options to improve performance, like reducing tickrate, or things like that, that help keep playing with a low-end server.

Hey all, got a weird one on my server:

It's also been saying that it failed to find a destroyed actor:

Any help with this would be fantastic. It won't let me restart the server and crashes every time.

Hey Guys,
we are hosting our dedicated Server on host-unlimited.
We are encountering strange Problems:
for quick context im a Server Technician and dont get it working

  • Even though the Server says "Auto_Pause" 0 or not checked - everytime i disconnect from the Server it crashes and needs a reboot - i cant get it deactivated
  • Path Signals get funky on its own and the server needs a restart
  • After server boot sometimes belts which worked before need to be build again in order to work again
  • and overall it has way to many crashes in my opinion

Can you guys or girls give me an opionion on how to fix / is this a Host problem and it works better with other Hosting-Partners / am i Doing something wrong?

my Server now running for over 1000h and really less Problems.

The Most crashes are too less RAM. My Savegame needs atm over 12GB RAM and a good single core CPU

Our Hosted Server has this equipment:
I already hosted a premium node but that doesnt seem to be the problem

do you have access to server logs ?

#

they are using Virtuzzo for hosting the servers and CPUs dont run in Hostmode. I had a Windows Server from them

Okay so i have my explanations. Ill try anoither hoster like indifferent broccoli

Hello guys
Short question: Is there a way to use other connections instead of IPV4 to join a local hosted Satis server from outside of my Internet? Like a domain or something else.
ty

hidden forge
#

Yes, IPv6 and as you said DNS.
Needs to be set up tough

granite meadow
#

thx

But if I put in the IPv6 nothing happens. It only shows me the Sever Name pending

If I use DNS Nothing happens. No errer, no server

hidden forge
#

Needs to be set up

deep turret
#

your router probably have a ipv6 specific firewall

hidden forge
#

Is your server listening on IPv6?
Is the firewall configured for IPv6?
Does the DNS entry point towards your IPs?

deep turret
#

also if you home host you may have some ipv6 problems, not every isp give working ipv6

# granite meadow yes

do the script check please by default the ipv6 connection is completely broken, explicit ipv6 bind must be configured by default (yes I said by default, because it still also works for ipv4)

trying to host my own dedicated server, apparently I tried before, because while I think I've done everything right, it needs to be authenticated, and I've no idea what my password would have been 😦 is there an easy workaround for this? very basic windows user here, be kind 🙂

Hey, I've been searching the internet for hours. I'm running a dedicated Server and since today everytime I place a conveyer it crashes. The conveyer stays in its holographic form and the server is eating up all RAM untill it crashes. Is this a somewhat known issue and is there maybe even a fix for it?

#

Maximum number of UObjects (2162688) exceeded when trying to add 1 object(s), make sure you update MaxObjectsInGame/MaxObjectsInEditor/MaxObjectsInProgram in project settings This is the error in the logs. But as this Savegame only has 30h playtime it is not possible to have exceeded the UObjects limit, and it would also not explain why it only crashes when placing Conveyers and not foundations or other things. Also when I run the Savegame in Singleplayer I have no problems placing anything. (I've tried increasing the UObjects limit, and it just crashes without an Error message)

Should I use a website to host? If so which one? If not how else? Many thanks

in 30h? this sounds impossible to reach that limit in so short time, even with 10 players
i overread the time

#

we have 500h on our save ^^

amber falcon
#

Man that pipe bug killing the entire server is really diminishing my fun. It happens so frequently, is there a way to avoid it?

crystal spade
# topaz scarab they said it's a 30h game, unlikely to be hitting it normally

hmm, mabye it's a combination from the holobug and low cpu power then? the log say, there are only 4 cores available.
i see on our server that even save with lower than 50hours and 4 players use more than 500% cpu (more than 5 cores) from the docker. mostly when all player are on different locations on the map

topaz scarab
crystal spade
#

aye, but how will you reach 2.16 million objects in 30 h?
if you play normal, even if you have a bunch of fast players, i can't imagine this many objects in this time

#

am i wrong?

snow prawn
#

The objectlimit isnt reached. Else i could not build any structurs, right? It just happens with conveyers. It seems like the conveyer building is leaking UObjects in the process wich then uses more and more ram until the UObjectslimit is reached and the server crashes.

#

my dedicated server decided it's gonna keep crashing on startup. Last couple lines of the log are "LogNavigation: Warning: Looking for NavData using invalid FNavAgentProperties."

#

no changes to the satisfactory server were made and i don't think the servers have been updated recently...

Hey all, I am running my first game server and not too familiar with Linux just yet. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong with the -multihome=0.0.0.0 work around?

image.png
grim mica
#

Well.. 1.1.1.1 is a valid IP address, use 0.0.0.0?

stable spear
#

That was for demo purposes. I am using my 192 address. Does it need to bind to 0.0.0.0?

grim mica
#

0.0.0.0 = any/all adapters, but if your machine has multiple nics use its internal IP - correct (which doesnt matter to share since its a private range)

stable spear
#

Been getting this with every address I try:

image.png
grim mica
#

10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255, 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255 and 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255 are defined as private, unroutable address space - impossible to reach anything else over the internet using that range

#

Is it actually failing a bind above?

#

Should have these

image.png
stable spear
#

It failed a bind to the 192 I statically set for it so I wasn't sure if I was entering the syntax correctly or not.

This is what the log says it's failing at and I saw a post from 3 years ago suggesting the multihome was a workaround for this:

image.png
grim mica
#

Thats what you are currently getting trying to start it?

stable spear
#

Yes

#

To answer your above image, it does show that in the start up.

grim mica
#

Well multihome was changed significantly with 1.0 from U8 so I doubt a post from 3y ago would be relevant now in regards to multihome behavior

stable spear
#

Fair. It was the only thing I could find when googling the exception though lol

grim mica
#

Its brand new server or existing that has failed?

stable spear
#

New to me. We repurposed a buddies old gaming pc. All of the diagnostics on the hardware passed and it had the 16GB requirement so it was working great until last night

grim mica
#

Just to clarify - meaning it was running up to last night with a functional world and people connecting?

stable spear
#

Correct

grim mica
#

So likely a save file issue in that case

stable spear
#

Ooof. I hope not. Could we have maxed out the ram? I saw some posts around that suggest 16 might not be enough but I don't know for sure myself. We have 3 players in total connecting and doing stuff

grim mica
#

Shouldnt prevent it from starting up if it was a resource issue

#

You can confirm if the server/game files are fine by trying a new/different world

#

That would isolate it to one or the other, but seems like some sort of conveyor problem in the world - were you using blueprints?

wraith folio
#

how do i set it up

stable spear
#

We were using blueprints. In everything just about

grim mica
#

If you have older autosaves can try to roll it back, as well to see if an older one works. Can also try to load it in singleplayer and see what it does, few options to recover it - just all require a little work

Alright so I want to ask what the suggested specs are for running a dedicated server are. My friends and I are just starting to get into Tier 9 and have some big factories planned but we are starting to get big rubber bands and having issues with placing buildings where the buildings aren't placing at first and then eventually all placing at once. We are running 6 cores of what appears to be an AMD EPYC 7282 CPU with 16 gb of RAM but only 12gb dedicated to it. Our network quality is set to ultra and we are only hitting around 8gb of RAM usage and only 28% of my total CPU is being used. Is the best suggestion just to get a faster single core CPU?

vapid bridge
rare grove
#

I don't believe it is a RAM issue in all honesty. I believe it is more a CPU single core performance issue. Looking at resource usage it doesn't look like anything is being maxed out and I know satis runs mainly on a single core just because of how games work

vapid bridge
grim mica
#

Is it in a container or something? How is 12/16 allocated to it?

rare grove
#

Yes it is in a container

#

I am unsure what you mean by natively

grim mica
#

On bare metal

rare grove
#

Ahh no currently it is running in a VPS. This is why I was asking if there was a different solution other than just getting a better CPU because my option there is just upgrade to a dedi server

#

But that also is like 5x more expensive

grim mica
#

I mean.. the CPU isnt great but its also not terrible

vapid bridge
rare grove
grim mica
#

SatisDS is more multi-threaded than you might think, especially with multiple players and very late game builds

vapid bridge
#

its the ram

#

the 6 core cpu is fine

grim mica
#

That 12GB could be your limiter honestly.. id look into getting out to at least 20 or something

rare grove
rare grove
#

The usage caps around 8gb

vapid bridge
rare grove
#

Cant do that either

#

You have to remember some people are working with what they have and I have an internet provider that I do not control currently

#

Also that is a big upfront commitment that I can't really make at the moment

vapid bridge
#

I just use a regular internet provider, cloudflare and a local server. it is doable. (and cheaper in the long run) but if you want to run it on a VPS its going to be more expensive, you will need to up your ram to 25gb at least.

grim mica
#

How big is your save file? Rough size?

rare grove
#

My guy I am saying I don't have access to port forward or anything on my network so I can't host my own server.

#

about 5gb

grim mica
#

5..MB?

vapid bridge
rare grove
#

Sorry that is the total space of all the stuff

#

Let me go find the actual save

#

Looks like around 8mb

rare grove
grim mica
#

Just wanting to get an idea of how many entities are present on the map cause I'd consider my save somewhat late game and its 15M and server is using over 16GB atm with only me in it

image.png
#

Are you on linux or windows?

rare grove
#

Linux

#

Thats with 1 player on currently

vapid bridge
#

oh wait

#

its the cpu load

#

can you add a higher percentage to the cores?

rare grove
#

Pterodactyl isn't great about showing CPU usage

#

It is running unpinned

vapid bridge
#

go an add 200 % on the CPU Limit

rare grove
#

You think it should be pinned?

vapid bridge
#

(I have more ram and storage), but the CPU limit, set it to 300 to see... start there

rare grove
#

But currently it is running with unlimited shouldnt it just be using what it needs currently?

vapid bridge
rare grove
#

That sounds... counterintuitive.

grim mica
#

Thats certainly counterintutive lol

#

'free' will show any swap usage over memory

vapid bridge
#

i mean you don't lose anything testing it, I have a shitload of ram and when using unlimited cpu's its no bueno....

#

but you do you.

rare grove
#

I mean I will give it a go not saying I won't just saying it sounds counterintuitive

vapid bridge
rare grove
#

Thats fair I was asking for suggestions so I will try them 😂
