dedicated-servers

[pure crystal]

uh, what about if ur hosting at a provider?

i can't just open a specific port if i wanted to

[storm parrot]

idk, tell them to get it together

[pure crystal]

[livid flare]

what do you mena by get it together sorry my english weak

[storm parrot]

bad joke. you'll have to request that the provider open the port. if the provider updated the server to experimental, they didn't read the release notes

[livid flare]

ahh so unless provider dont fix we cannot do anything

which provoder do you use ?

looks like our provide is slow ar customer service and reply lol

[rose coral]

?

[livid flare]

By the way thanks for your reply and time

[storm parrot]

yea basically. i'm self-hosted

[livid flare]

ohh

So only solution we have to wait lol

for our server provider 🙂

[storm parrot]

open port 8888

[rose coral]

we are on 7778 and 8889

[livid flare]

uh, what about if ur hosting at a provider?
i can't just open a specific port if i wanted to

[rose coral]

Hosting Provider = ME

am fixing it rn

[storm parrot]

what does the crash log say?

[rose coral]

dm

cause dont wanna leak

need to crash it again

log in dm

[supple heath]

The latest update corrected the issue of intempestive crashes for me. It has run 8hours without any issue this afternoon. Only one restart and it runs perfectly for more than 3 hours.

This is what I am used to

[scarlet sonnet]

gamehostbros

[spare eagle]

same

anyone NOT on GameHostBros seeing this issue?

So I have a different issue than crashing, is anyone else having problems with building / destroying. I will build something and it will stay a blue hologram and never build client side. If I quit and rejoin the server the thing will be built. Same for destroying, I can delete something and it will stay on the screen client side however it will be deleted server side so I cant select it to delete the object again or anything. Once more if I quit and rejoin it will be properly removed. I am only having this problem on a dedicated server, multiplayer through normal means is fine.

[flat blade]

Yeah I'm seeing the same thing on 1.1 dedicated server too. I've tried other suggestions such as verifying game files on client and server but still happens.
For me it mostly affects things like foundations and walls.

(Note, my server is running through GPortal)

[rapid talon]

Hi! I'm having that same issue with building and destroying certain items. My server is hosted through indifferent broccoli and I had them check to confirm that the servers performance looked good.

[spare eagle]

same, foundations and walls but I can still place things like constructors

[sturdy niche]

currently self-hosting my server, no problem with building

i just build an big part of my factory without problems

many walls and fondations

[flat blade]

I notice it's fine for about the first 5-10 minutes or so after logging in, but after that the issue occurs

[sturdy niche]

also, is anyone having an problem after 2-3h of uptime the server going at full 100% ?

[spare eagle]

@sturdy niche so you are on the machine that is running it and othes can join?

[sturdy niche]

ye

[spare eagle]

do others have that issue?

[rapid talon]

I've noticed that too. I think we can assume it's something in 1.1 then?

[sturdy niche]

people can join me, except after 2-3h wen the CPU utilization goes haywire

[sturdy niche]

my friend didn't have any problems for construction

[spare eagle]

Ya I am assuming a garbage collection issue of some sort

[flat blade]

Yeah, prior to moving to experimental I never encountered this issue before. Might have to roll back to stable branch 😦

[rapid talon]

The new features are so good though!! Haha I'll be sure to put in a bug report in game then. Thanks y'all.

[twilit fox]

What cpu, what environment? Pve lxc/vm... docker?

[sturdy niche]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/67efeb096b7c573196363779

self-host

[twilit fox]

This had been an issue since 1.0 sadly.. I think it was fixed, but apparently it's back again

[sturdy niche]

also, seem's to be an client side, but the more you play, the more the game becomes unstable, it's crashed at the 10h~ mark

after the crash and reopened SF, the game (client side) is quite stable

[versed rune]

Question is anyone else on satisfactory dedicated servers getting a game crash on connection with the following error
( This is in the experimental build )
Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x00000000000000c0

[buoyant fog]

HOW DO I START ONE ON EPIC GAMES

[wild saffron]

Anyone else get a building bug? One of my friends don't get it but me and my friend do. It will show the blueprint of the item in the location but nothing actually builds or if you remove an object it will still show it but you can glitch through it. When you relog it fixes but any other ways to fix?

[sharp portal]

Has anyone been able to reliably get 1.1 to work on SteamCMD yet?

[desert ice]

this is also happening to me

i just restarted my PC and docker instance for the server its fixxed the issue for me

[verbal shale]

i want play in a good dedicated server

do you have one for me whit players?

private menssaje

[hidden smelt]

Is anyone here running their SFDS behind a MikroTik? I cannot fathom why people can't talk to my servers from outside despite the NAT rule being set like every other one yet it doesn't work...
The only thing that has changed since the last time people played on them was switching to the MikroTik

[tall nest]

Yes. Possibly related: #patch-notes message (update: fixing my port mapping solved this client connection crash)

[lucid grove]

Anyone else experiencing the issue with the experimental windows dedicated server that you can create a game but when you try to join you are just stuck in the loadingscreen with no errors?

Is it just me or are others unable to vhange the elevator music

[stone bridge]

Running experimental, I can't seem to make linked blueprints on my dedicated server. I have the mode and everything set right, I make the link and see all the holograms form for the belt link, drag it out a little way and when I lmb again it doesn't build, just puts me back to having an unlinked blueprint hologram.

I also can't seem to delete blueprints anymore, I hover over them and they turn red, but holding lmb does nothing, then they stop being red.

Have downloaded the save and loaded up locally, everything works fine there, so seems like it's not an issue with the save or my client....

[last lotus]

i have a problem with my dedicated server with the experimental the server starts with a ping of over 2000 and regularly shoots up with the ping and kicks out and then just restarts. the server has been restarted several times the problem remains. on stble version this problem is not. Do you have any idea what the problem is or how I can fix it?

[vivid plover]

well idk whats wrong but steam cmd is telling me this on installation

ERROR! Failed to install app '1690800' (No subscription)

i would like to get some help there no matter what i try it stays

[stone bridge]

Yeah

[sturdy niche]

someone on my post https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/67efeb096b7c573196363779
told me to reboot my server, the cpu leak is happening again.

[sturdy niche]

what is the server running on ?

Debian, Ubuntu, Windows ?

[sturdy niche]

in 6 minutes, CPU utilization got 60% higher

no one is on the server

[twilit fox]

Sigh... I manually installed steamcmd.. and it says it's incorrectly formatted.

why does steam still force us to use i386...

[twilit fox]

post your factory server logs to the QA site too.

[sturdy niche]

where are they again ?

[twilit fox]

that's a good question.. are you using systemctl to manage your server? or you starting it manually with ./FactoryServer.sh ?

[sturdy niche]

yep for systemctl

debian 12

[twilit fox]

if you start it with ./FactoryServer.sh I'm pretty sure the console window it runs.. alright cool.

did you specify stdout?

[sturdy niche]

stdout ?

[twilit fox]

StandardOutput and StandardError ?

if not you have no logs.

so I would add those two lines to somewhere where you want the server to save logs.

[sturdy niche]

nop

Type=simple
User=steam
WorkingDirectory=/home/steam/satisfactory
ExecStart=/home/steam/satisfactory/FactoryServer.sh -Port=23447 -ReliablePort=23448
Restart=on-failure```

[twilit fox]

add those two lines after working dir.

also.. my config is for 1.0.. I'm not to 1.1 yet lol

[sturdy niche]

so add

StandardOutput=append:/home/steam/satisfactory/log/factory.log
StandardError=append:/home/steam/satisfactory/log/fectory.err```

[twilit fox]

you can delete the line pointing at the journal

and yeah.. after that.. you'll need to reload your server... systemctl stop server, then ``systemctl daemon-reload` and systemctl start server

yay.. it looks like the virtual cpu bug is fixed..

[sturdy niche]

already used to the dance of
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart satisfactory

[twilit fox]

you can log to journal.. and that's where it was going if that's what you had.. but having it in a file by itself is much nicer.. journal logs everything in the system.

what's the reliable port for?

[sturdy niche]

they just added it
#patch-notes message

also my server didn't like
StandardOutput=append:/home/steam/satisfactory/log/factory.log
StandardError=append:/home/steam/satisfactory/log/fectory.err

well, it didn't like the append:

UH OH
THE SERVICE HAS ONLY 6s OF UPTIME AND IT'S TAKING HALF OF MY CPU, the world aready finished loading.

ohno, welp the server feels likes it's in an perpetual state of loading the save.

[vivid plover]

that problem is fixed but my stupid Fritzbox is not port forwarding said port and just gives it diffrent once

im inputting 10476 as port works on 3 out of 4 diffrent function

it dosent let me give it the same port for UDP and TCP to forward it so my friend can join

bottom 2 are IPv6 top 2 are IPv4

[hidden forge]

You can do v4 and v6 is the same rule though?

[vivid plover]

IPv6 doe what its suppossed to but v4 not it keeps giving the UDP a diff external port

[hidden forge]

Increase the external port range by one

[vivid plover]

as my fritz does not allow me to use 7777 im using 10476 wich works on the v4 anv6 TCP protocoll but it only works for the v6 UDP and not for the v4 UDP

[hidden forge]

Why does it not allow 7777?
Is your FritzOS up to date?

[vivid plover]

yes

lemme show in VC

just so you see what my steps are

[hidden forge]

...are you sure you have a public v4?

[vivid plover]

yes

according to router its havving a diff IP in the internet then what the server is on

[hidden forge]

Wait, "my Fritz" as in the web access service?

[vivid plover]

yes

i got a fritzbox 7590 UY

[hidden forge]

Is the first half of your Routers IP between 100.64 and 100.127?

[vivid plover]

how do i know?

[hidden forge]

Check under Internet > Online-Monitor > Verbindungsdetails > Internet, IPv4

[vivid plover]

nope its adiffrent

ill send ya dm cuz i dont want to show everyone

[hidden forge]

First two numbers are enough

[vivid plover]

83.135.

[vivid plover]

@hidden forge

[hidden forge]

Sorry, was eating

[vivid plover]

oh sry then

[vivid plover]

as you can see these are the letters

this is what it shows me when trying to use 7777

and when i then hit apply this happens

gives 7777 to v6 but not for v4

[hidden forge]

Weird, might be something ISP related

[vivid plover]

what ever i do v4 is never the same then the other ip i tried setting all to 10373 now the UDP is 10374

at this point i give up

[hidden forge]

Quick sanity check, you want to use the myfritz service, right?

[vivid plover]

is there anything else i can use?

like my fritz website is the only thing i know i can acces my fritz router with

[hidden forge]

Can you try creating a forward without myfritz and try connecting with the IP directly?

[vivid plover]

how?

[hidden forge]

Don't know, don't use myfritz 😅
But I know from mine it should work, so either it's an ISP or myfritz issiue

[vivid plover]

idk

[hidden forge]

When you creste the forwarding, is there an option to en/disable creation with myfritz?

[vivid plover]

nope myfritz is the main operating and access website for fritz routers

[hidden forge]

.. That's fritzOS. Not myfritz

[vivid plover]

oh well idk then

[hidden forge]

gonna try somethin rq

no, works on mine. something ISP related then

[wraith lodge]

guys i got an hosting server a few days ago, in it me and my friend played for about a week before experimental was out and we chose to start anew on experimental but now, every time we log off for a long time, the world deletes itself, which didn't happen in the stable version... is this a server problem or game problem? also, for those that might say the server is not saving the world and what not, if i restart the server a few times, the world comes back to life again ...

[vivid plover]

what does ISP mean

never heard of that ngl

[hidden forge]

Internet Service Provider.

whomever you have your internet contract with

[vivid plover]

1&1

[hidden forge]

call their suppor then or use only ipv6

[vivid plover]

does satis use v6 for connection?

[hidden forge]

it can use it
there was/is a bug though that you cant enter the address directly in the client and need to use some kind of DNS

[vivid plover]

alr and what ip do i need to enter in satis then?

the routers the servers or the v6 of the server?

[hidden forge]

v6 of the server

[vivid plover]

ah alr

[hidden forge]

run it through this converter and enter the resulting "IPv6 literal windows" in the server manager
ipv6-literal.com

port forwarding, or in this case firewall, still needs to be set for external access

[vivid plover]

my brain is not working for this ngl i might try sometime else i need to relax rn xD

yet thanks for the help

[open coral]

Is an amd 8600x a good cpu to run a satisfactory server on?

[lucid grove]

worked, thank you!

[sturdy niche]

some might say, it's overkill

it can run on an i3-8100 fine™️

[open coral]

Well its not the only thing im going to be using it for.

[sturdy niche]

also the Ryzen 8600x doesn't exist

[open coral]

I thought i saw it somewhere on pc part picker like 30 min ago. Weird.

Maybe i will go a 7600x or 9600x

Not only will it fail to initialize, my server went into a continuous error loop in this situation. It should just fail and exit. 🙂

Can anyone confirm: ReliablePort and PortRangeBegin/PortRangeLength/ExternalPortRangeBegin are mutually exclusive, correct? The server still only requires one port like the 1.0 release (and not like prior releases that required multiple ports)?

[hidden forge]

1.1 requires two(three) ports. A base port in UDP and TCP, and a new reliable port TCP

[tall nest]

Ah, ok. Thanks. That is very helpful.

[hidden forge]

The portrange parameters are for the new port if it is NATed iirc

[tall nest]

Got it. Should be an easy fix, then. Gets to editing my Satisfactory server management scripts.

[crimson gorge]

why am i able to connect to a server locally but not externally, but yet the server manager is able to ping it. All the ports seem to be open, and im at a loss.

the same settings worked fine in 1.0

you need

7777/udp
8888/tcp

[tall nest]

Is ReliablePort what clients should be using when adding the server via the in-game UI?

[mild thunder]

no

the game port is what clients use to connect, then the server tells the client what the reliableport is

[tall nest]

So, the port that is configurable via a range? PortRangeBegin/PortRangeLength/ExternalPortRangeBegin

[mild thunder]

the server will try to bind the reliableport to a specific port then if thats not available, it will add 1 until it finds a port, but it can be set static

i set both ports in the startup command, so that it doesn't change the reliableport from what i want it to be

[tall nest]

Specifically, which option(s) result in a static port selection?

[mild thunder]

adding it to the startup command (for example here is one my my servers startup commands): ./Engine/Binaries/Linux/*-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame -Port=7777 -ReliablePort=8888

[tall nest]

Damn, that's what I did wrong. Probably should have looked at the new cmd help output, but, I assumed Port had changed to ReliablePort (so should be 7777) and the other port settings with PortRangeBegin handled the 8888 from your example.

I'm an idiot. Thanks.

[mild thunder]

good luck

i shutdown my server for now, it maxed out 9 cores on a Ryzen 9 9900x, could feel the heat coming off of the cooler.

[tall nest]

I'm back up with no issues and remote working! Thanks for the clarification on the new options. Resource-wise, my server seems fine (with a big, late-game 1.0 save). It's fluctuating between 5 and 15% total utilization (with the tick rate set to 120) on an Intel Core i9-9900K.

[mild thunder]

i think its a bug that can happen, i built a few things then took them all down, so pretty sure it was an empty world.

someone else above has the same thing happening to them, i would just watch out for it

[tall nest]

Ah, I see. Will be resolved soon, I'm sure.

[mild thunder]

Is it me or DS consume more CPU than before ?

[sturdy niche]

What is the up time of the server currently?

[quasi star]

Is there any API?

[supple heath]

The uptime of the hosting server or the uptime of the DS Process ?

[quasi star]

server

[supple heath]

4 days

[quasi star]

are you using a server host or a actual dedficated server

[supple heath]

I have a dedicated physical server to host Satisfactory DS

[quasi star]

Mines been up for about 150 hours and only 3.7% cpu usage so not sure

no one on the server atm^

[supple heath]

I restart DS process and back to normal with 2 ppl connected only using ~15% CPU

[supple heath]

[sturdy niche]

Dedicated server

I want to know after 4h of up time.

[supple heath]

FactoryServer-Win64-Shipping-Cmd is running since 04/06/2025 10:00:00 .

[sturdy niche]

From 8h45 to 10am, satisfactory was running for more than 3-4h ?

[supple heath]

Yes, server was running since midnight (server daily reboot)

And from 1am to 8:30am server has no players

[sturdy niche]

So my theory of an CPU leak is still on the table

Do you have any elevators in the world ?

[supple heath]

Yes surely the most possible issues

No elevator yet, new games with only 30h+

We bought it but not yet built

[quasi star]

Do you have server restarts?

[supple heath]

Yes Midnight every day

[sturdy niche]

SF forces an restart every 24h, you can't turn it off

[quasi star]

ahh

[supple heath]

In servers settings just before the send games data you have the planned reboot server, if you set it up to 0 it will be disabled

[quasi star]

I would do one

[tame axle]

So im trying to setup a server - done it successfully - however Im new to the game, is there a way to set the phase / tier to 0 or like the introduction?

[wary cosmos]

no not on DS

[tame axle]

I assume DS translates to Dedicated servers?

[wary cosmos]

yes

[tame axle]

so, would I be right in saying, play the game on my pc then when I reach tier2 upload the save file to the server and play on the server from that point on?

[blissful gull]

hi guys i want to connect to a dedicated server but always get the following message: Connection to API was aborted because TLS negotiation failed. Certificate verify result: certificate is not yet valid (9). Does anyone know how I can fix this?

[fossil sinew]

We've seen this happen as well. Not sure on the cause though.

[deep turret]

did you user server manager to connect to it ?
check your server and/or client is at correct clock time

[deep turret]

yes, you can also start without intro once you know it

[twilit fox]

what's the -ReliablePort flag I've seen in here for.. and does it need it.. or do I still need the main port only?

[pearl vector]

Hi all i am wondering if someone can help, i have the latest version of my client from steam but when i connect to a newly purchased dedicated server it shows my client version is lower than my server but i have selected the stable channel for my server
Client: 385279 & Server: 404250 (i believe this is the experimental server)

[hidden forge]

as of 1.1 you need both

[twilit fox]

do they both need to be open to the internet, or is it simlier to pre 1.0 where only the becon port needed to be exposed?

[hidden forge]

if it has to be reachable from the outside all ports have to be exposed

[twilit fox]

Oh so I only need to forward 1024-49151?

it seems to work with only a single port argument set.. Maybe the reliableport argument is only bind the server to that port and force all connections to use it?

[pure crystal]

guys i have setup a server for 1.1 and like every 10 minutes i need to relog because i can't place some buildings like floors and conveyor belts anymore. When i relog its fixed, its also giving some errors in the console

whats causing it?

[hidden forge]

no, i meant "all" as in "all required". by default thats 7777/tcp, 7777/udp and 8888/tcp

[sturdy niche]

is already going rogue on 1 core after just 6min's

i'm trying to find an cause, but i find nothing

THE SERVER IS RUNNING AN BLANK WORLD, THERE'S NOTHING ON IT

why is it worst on an BLANK WORLD, this is the fastest it's ever been

[twilit fox]

isn't your cpu kind of a turd?

I mean it's got slightly stronger single thread than my 5600gt, but you've only got 4 threads and I see pretty high cpu usage on mine..

[sturdy niche]

the world loaded takes betweed 20% to 40% all cores on 1.0
Hours after i've updated to 1.1 this has appeared.

• it's not spikes
  it's progresivally going up and up and never going down

sometimes there's an 50%(1core) spike that nevers goes down

[twilit fox]

does your server lag and freeze?

[sturdy niche]

i don't feels freezes

[twilit fox]

then if there's no performance issue with the server let it eat.

[sturdy niche]

tho the 100% is affection the playit gg connection for my friends

i'm connecting in local

their connecting with playit.gg

[twilit fox]

I don't know, honestly.. I'm running two dedi's on the same VM and this is mine...

if you've got a 13100.. shouldn't you have 8 cpu's? because it's got 8 threads..

[wide mason]

trying to figure out why everytime my server restarts it deletes the fg.dsautopause. is there a work around to stop it from overwriting the gameusersettings.ini when the server restarts. any help or advice would be welcome
mIntValues=(("FG.DSAutoPause", 0),("FG.NetworkQuality", 3))

[sturdy niche]

i3-8100
4 cores / 4 thread

[twilit fox]

Yeah.. you might need a beafier cpu.

[mild thunder]

my server was maxing out 9 cores yesterday on an empty world

just uploaded it to scim, and friends never got on it, so all that was ever done was placing a power pole then deconstructing it

[sturdy niche]

you are on 1.1.0.1 ?

[twilit fox]

should be.. I just updated it today

[sturdy niche]

what was the commande you did to upgrade ?

[twilit fox]

call steamcmd and install & validate.

ExecStartPre=/usr/games/steamcmd +force_install_dir /home/factory11/factoryserver +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental validate +quit

[sturdy niche]

+app_update 1690800 -beta experimental validate +quit
yeah you are on experimental

[twilit fox]

you're not?

[sturdy niche]

i am

1.1.0.1

Experimental: 404250

[little oracle]

For what its worth i'm also seeing these same results on my server.

[supple heath]

Server has not rebooted since this morning 10am, 2 person connected between 11am and 1pm and 3pm to 7:45pm

Just killed the process and restarting it because CPU was at 90% without any connected users (game is configured with paused if no one is connected)

Me and one of my friends get the exact same issue but my other friend has never experienced on the 108 hours we have on the dedi server. So I don't know why he's so special 😭

[pure crystal]

yeah, idk. it can be a bit annoying, but idk what causes it. its like every 15 minutes or so

[median rune]

Hey, i’ve been having constant issues with my Satisfactory server running on the Experimental version. It keeps crashing randomly, even though we’re not doing anything unusual in-game. I already contacted the host about it, but unfortunately, nothing has improved so far.

I’m hoping someone might have a tip or suggestion on how to fix this. ^^

[quasi star]

Is anyone experiencing issues not being able to middle click certain objects and it returning N/A or trying to delete stuff and not deleting it. It does fix after closing CMD and re opening it

[pure crystal]

same

[steel osprey]

CS have to fix the Server. there is no workaround. you have to wait or use stable

[vital folio]

How stable is player hosted lobbies with medium-large sized factories? Havent tried it since well before 1.0, and back then there was a lot of desync between players and creatures.

[dire nest]

how do i make a 24 hour server

[tall nest]

The most significant thing that "desyncs" in my experience (post 1.0) is vegetation that has been cut down, gas pillars, and other destructible items. I have not noticed any desync with the enemies.

[whole meadow]

Hello, lately I have not been active here as I am on other channels. It would be helpful for us if someone could summarize list of issues you guys are facing with dedicated servers in experimental 1.1.0.1, i know we have addressed some crashes but it seems like there are still issues pending to be resolved. If there is a Q&A site link you could share that as well.

[sturdy niche]

got most of my errors summarized here
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/67efeb096b7c573196363779

[sturdy niche]

or in quick recap

-CPU Leak
-Sometimes failes to load an world and forevers loops (reliable port was corretly setted up)
-Elevator wen active likes to take an chunk of CPU utilisation
-Server randomally kicking in idle after 5min of uptime (i only got it once but i saw others get that a lot)

there something else, but it's not SF DS related
after 10h of playtime the player client becomes an laggy mess and crashes after restart everything is fine
(i forgot to look in my task manager is the CPU leak also happened on player clients.)

[glad nest]

There is definitely insanely much higher CPU usage on the new experimental version...
I have a i9-12900k and already at tier 4 i see certain P-cores spike to 100% with only 2 players on that is ridiculous i never saw this CPU spike to 100% even once at 1.0
Actually consuming 7-8 full cores of my CPU

[supple heath]

Cries in i5-7500

[sturdy niche]

isn't your i5-7500 better than my i3-8100 ?

[supple heath]

Yours seems a bit better but only from one inch

checked on cpu userbenchmark but can't past the link because it is seems as a spam

[sturdy niche]

userbenchmark is an joke

it used to be an legit site

but now it's forever april fools

[supple heath]

Yeah I know but to quickly compare numbers (TDP, ClockSpeed, Gen, etc..) it is still usable even if the rest is a vast joke

[deep turret]

wdym by 24h server ?
if you mean running 24/7 : you either need to rent a 24/7 service, or have a machine running 24/7 at your home

lol… my old cpu DS has been fine on 1.0.

I might wait a bit and see if the spikes/leaks get fixed in the next patch before upgrading though.

[scenic lion]

Is there a way so that the server doesn't idle after 10 minutes, or is this not a user issue? (Experimental 1.1)

[west plinth]

I cant tell if this is a dedicated server thing or not since I dont have a local save. but blueprints leave their orange highlight after dismantling. using the latest 1.0 (non-experimental) build, server is running in docker on linux. Im curious if this is known/common?

[sturdy niche]

keep restarting satisfactory and pray it doesn't happen again

[nova token]

I was searching around looking to set up a dedicated server but can it be done on synology stuff? I have not really found an answer to if it is possible. Anyone got experience with it?

[hidden forge]

Possible yes, feasible not really. Small diskstations only have a very weak CPU and not much RAM. On very small DS you don't even have an x86 CPU.
If you have a rackstation your chances are better, but who has one at home

[nova token]

Sad news but thanks. Rather know it now then sink hours into trying to set it up.

[deep turret]

and then there are the no support for DIY services on such commercial systems

[deep turret]

there is a checkbox for pausing world when no one is connected, make sure it's checked

[supple heath]

There is a dockerized version of Satisfactory DS but you will still need a decent configuration (minimum 8GB RAM/4vCPU)

[fierce meteor]

Is it just me or are the server kinda buggy?

I found these wandering around on the planet and the big penguin things are tiny 🤣

[nova crow]

Server timetraveling ti April 1 ig

[fierce meteor]

Hehe could be 🤣 I don't mind these tho, much worse is tractors crashing into what i think is invisible tractors remains left over from the dark ages

☺️ fun game is it, so I am not complaining at all ☺️ anyone knows if 1.0 supports IPv6 or is that something that gets added in 1.1?

[hidden forge]

IPv6 is supported since pre 1.0. There is/was just a bug in the client so that you can't enter the v6 address in the server manager directly and had to use some kind of DNS

[fierce meteor]

Cool then I can have a go at getting my server up and running on v6, I think the only thing I am missing is the internal routing in the fbsd host ... Hmm 🤔

[pine urchin]

With 1.1, I found manually setting the -ReliablePort option limited it to listening on IPv4-only.

[deep talon]

same it was so funny looking. Also theyd get in the way and block stuff. its back to norm now

[sharp portal]

Anyone have any specific advice for 1.1 on SteamCMD (windows) ? I was getting the infinite load screen glitch and I'm debating just reverting to 1.0 😦

[fierce meteor]

That is for setting a new port that the server runs on if you dont want it on the standard 7777, not that there is actually any point changing the port when using v6

[pine urchin]

I think you mean 8888. And there can be reasons, such as wanting to avoid the complexity of multiple IPs and that port is already in use by something else.

[fierce meteor]

Each host has its own ip, and their own firewall rules. Makes it so much easier to control and manage, and with the added benefit that the host can be anywhere in the world and reachable. Always

[sturdy niche]

Restart SF

[glad nest]

On Experimental: When starting a new save the server has to be fully restarted - or else all clients will just crash when trying to connect
Or loading a old save - for that matter, just whatever we try to do with a different save that is running

[twilit fox]

Use passmark to reference.. it's a bit better although not by much.

[pine urchin]

I don't disagree with the value of IPv6 over IPv4, but there can be reasons for wanting to adjust the default Satisfactory reliable transport port.

My key point was that the first documented way of doing this appears to functionally disable IPv6 transport.

[fierce meteor]

Have you tried using -Port=8889 or the like ? Not sure if it would work. https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers look at port forwarding

[pine urchin]

Thank you for your advice.

[chilly mirage]

Hey, I don;t really know what changed with dedicated server but since I updated to the experiemental I cannot join the game on my server either via local ip or througt internet. I use the default port 7777 so as I understand it I'm not concerned about the port stuff on last patch notes.
I can see my server in the server manager, click on join game and after loading for a while it just crash. I'm not the only one, the vovamod comment on this QA post https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/67f0b6b26b7c573196363b98 is howing the same error I get in my serv log
If anyone know how to fix this, please

[tall nest]

If I understand the new network handling in 1.1 correctly, the default configuration requires ports 7777 (udp/tcp) and 8888 (tcp).

The error you referenced is also the same thing I was getting before I fixed my port forwarding for the changes made in 1.1.

[chilly mirage]

Thank you so much, it's working, the patch note was not really clear about the need to forward another port and the wiki is not updated yet

[tall nest]

Agreed, the patch notes could be better worded. Happy that helped!

[glossy onyx]

Hey, does anybody here have experience making a Satisfactory-Server publicly available via a VPS and a Wireguard-tunnel?

Im running a Satisfactory-Server on my Home-Server in a Docker-Container and it's running fine and I can join locally without a problem.

Now I want my Friends to be able to join, my Network is behind CGnat and I don't have a public-ipv4- Address.

But I have access to a cheap VPS that has a public-Ipv4. My Home-server is running a Wireguard-tunnel to the VPS, and I have iptables-set up to forward the corresponding ports to the Home-Server via the Tunnel.

This setup is already working perfectly with my Ark-Server, but it seems that Satisfactory is using a self-signed certificate which I do get when joining Locally.
But when I try to join via the VPS-Ip I can see the Name of the Server but it just says "Not Authenticated" and "Could not connect to the Server. Failed to Connect to the Server API"
It is not presenting me with the window to accept the Self-signed certificate

I have Nginx-proxy-Manager running on the VPS, but have no Idea if I can or how to set it up to make the server publicly accessible, which is why i'm using iptables(it works perfectly for Ark)

Could someone please help me figure this out?

[sturdy niche]

you need to pass 7777 (udp/tcp) and 8888 (tcp) ports

[glossy onyx]

Im using the ports 9999 and 8888, but i'm already doing that. And since I can see the Server-Name via the VPS-IP I think that part is already working, I think my only problem right now is getting the certificate to work through the VPS, but I don't know how to do that. I also own a Domain so could I maybe use Nginx-Proxy-Manager to give the Server a Certificate using Let's-Encrypt?

[pine urchin]

Nginx Proxy Manager can only relay protocols that it natively understands, mainly HTTPS and variants. This is wrong, it can apparently front load-balance TCP/UDP streams.

This will not include Satisfactory.

(Well, maybe the REST API, but otherwse, no, this won't be viable.)

[hidden forge]

did you set up NPM with a stream config?

[pine urchin]

You want to forward the UDP/TCP ports directly.

You might be able to use something like HAProxy, but my first thought would be to use native Linux firewalling as your first port of call — i.e. nft (or the older iptables)

[glossy onyx]

Currently I have nothing set up in NPM for the Satisfactory-Server, I only have Iptables right now, can you give me some resources on what I would need to do to make it work via NPM?

[tall nest]

Nginx can relay UDP and TCP traffic. The stream module should handle game server traffic like this. I don't know how performant it would be, so I'm not recommending this solution, but it is absolutely possible.

[pine urchin]

Huh, interesting.

reads up on hxxps://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_core_module.html

[hidden forge]

ah, misread then. if you use iptables make sure your UDP responses get routed back to the client.
if you use nginx/NPM use a stream config

[pine urchin]

From memory, I think you probably want iptables with DNAT?

[glossy onyx]

I would prefer using iptables, since those are already working for the Ark-Server. Here are my Iptable-rules:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ens6 -p udp --dport 9999 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.2:9999
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ens6 -p tcp --dport 8888 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.2:8888
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ens6 -p udp --dport 15777 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.2:15777
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ens6 -p udp --dport 15000 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.2:15000

10.0.0.2 is the Wireguard-ip for my home-server. Do I maybe need to relay another port for the Self-Signed Certificate to work?

[pine urchin]

Unless you've changed the Satisfactory configuration, you need to forward all of:
TCP/7777
UDP/7777
TCP/8888

Satisfactory will automatically mint its own certificate.

[glossy onyx]

I've changed the ports since the Ark-Server was already running on 7777, here is my Docker-Compose-file:

version: "3.8"
services:
satisfactory-server:
container_name: satisfactory-server
hostname: satisfactory-server
image: wolveix/satisfactory-server:latest
network_mode: host
environment:
- MAXPLAYERS=10
- PGID=1000
- PUID=1000
- STEAMBETA=false
- MULTIHOME=0.0.0.0
- SERVERGAMEPORT=9999
- SERVERQUERYPORT=15777
- SERVERBEACONPORT=15000
- SERVERMESSAGINGPORT=8888
volumes:
- /mnt/FastVault/Docker/Satisfactory:/config
restart: unless-stopped
deploy:
resources:
limits:
memory: 8G
reservations:
memory: 4G
networks: {}

[pine urchin]

You've apparently replaced 7777 with 9999, but are only forwarding UDP. You need to forward TCP, too.

[hidden forge]

and you only need the base port (7777) and the reliable port (8888) now
reliable only in 1.1 onwards

[pine urchin]

I'm not familiar with those container parameters, but a lot of those port references are pre-1.0

I think it was 1.0 introduced running everything over the same port on both TCP and UDP, and removed the need for separate game, query, beacon ports.

(I suspect the extra environment variables are ignored.)

[glossy onyx]

I suspect so too since I never saw traffic on those ports when using tcpdump to analyze the traffic

[pine urchin]

But yes, this would explain why you're only getting partial connectivity — there's a mismatch between what the server needs and what's relaying to it.

If you're seeing traffic on UDP/9999, I think all you're missing is forwarding of TCP/9999, and you should be away.

(And can probably then drop UDP/15777 and UDP/15000)

[glossy onyx]

I'll try it tomorrow and then report back. But thanks already for the good Advice!!

[pine urchin]

Well, hopefully it's good advice. 😉

[pine urchin]

And thank you for correcting me, today I learned. 🙂

[gentle bluff]

People crash connecting to my server, experimental 1.1. any ideas why?

[sturdy niche]

look at CPU utilization

on the server

[glad nest]

restart your server... always happen on mine after daily restart / when loading a different save
Or its the common issue of forwarding the additional port (8888/tcp) as i see some people keep forgetting

Ive made a bug report here - if you find it to be the same issue please upvote

I just set up a server using https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1fel8t1/setting_up_a_satisfactory_dedicated_server/ but when I try to join it via server manager, I get to the respawn sequence then my game just crashes. Both are set to 1.1 and I created a new save incase my old one was screwing anything up. Any help would be appreciated

[tall nest]

You need to open up TCP traffic on 8888 (see #dedicated-servers message and #patch-notes message). Those instructions you are looking at don't include network changes introduced in 1.1.

[sharp portal]

Anyone have any specific advice for 1.1 on SteamCMD (windows) ? I was getting the infinite load screen glitch

I tried port forwarding 8888, no luck

[coral ginkgo]

I'm seeing a good deal for a server on a liquidation auction. Can anyone vouch for game server performance on a Xeon E3-1220v3?

[pallid blaze]

for 2 players, do you guys think 8gb ram is enough?

We are not building too absurd stuff

[gentle bluff]

Got that port open, also realised it was after the auto server restart

[normal marsh]

It probably won't be the best. This game loves single core performance and that thing only goes to 3.5GHz. It's also 8 years old, so instructions per clock won't be the best either

[sturdy niche]

Go for 12 or 16gb of ram

[shut ivy]

has anyone had issues with remote players being able to play then all of a sudden they get hit with a cant load in with address exceptions and doesnt get fixed unless i reboot the whole pc? I have port 17777 tcp/udp and 8888 TCP forwarded but that doesnt fix it

[naive coral]

has anyone had the issue on experimental where players do sometimes not see builds, or completed milestones/SAM not unlocking anything until they rejoin?

the dedicated server is running on my pc. and i dont have any of the issues, but my buddy does. Both the port i am running for the game server and 8888 is open

[steel osprey]

know issue

[weary pasture]

Has anyone successfully gotten a 1.1 dedicated server up on a hosting company? Which one(s)?

[eager fossil]

Mine seems to be "functioning" but a crash when trying to join even on fresh world

[ashen juniper]

My server goes down every night and i have to restart it in the morning. Is this a setting i can change in 1.1?

[lone forum]

im trying to run a dedicated server on my spare pc. Got the server running and all, but when i try to connect to the server, my game crashes in the loading screen. Same for my friend trying to connect. Any ideas what could be wrong? Ive been able to connect to the server, so i did give the server a name and an admin password. I did select a save also. Versions do match on everything (client, server, save)

[normal marsh]

Are you on Experimental? Because the experimental server is completely unusable atm. It crashes when anyone joins

[glad nest]

i have it working perfectly fine... only major hindrance at the moment is whenever the daily restart occurs i need to restart the container

[lucid grove]

Anyone else experience extreme desyncs while building foundations etc on Experimental Dedicated Servers? Or maybe have a solution for that?

[glad nest]

have also had 2 instances where it suddenly is using 700% of my cpu (7 full cores) with no players connected

[lone forum]

yeah im using it, thanks for this 🙂 i can stop looking for my errors

Hi. I'm setting up a new game on a server running experimental. After enabling advanced settings, it looks like the tickboxes for 'All Shop Items' and 'All MAM research' are greyed out. I certainly can't change the tick by clicking them. After starting a new game, I see I have access to foundations, but I'd expect to see much more available. Is there something else I need to do to get these settings enabled?

[forest stratus]

Hello, quick question - it looks like time halts when no one is connected to a server, is that correct? Or have i broken something 😄

[pulsar gyro]

Hello, trying to start up a dedicated server for the first time - not sure what I am missing here?

[sturdy gust]

It's one of the server settings, you can change it from the in-game server manager (from the main menu)

[sturdy gust]

What is your issue exactly? Are you not able to connect to the server? What happens when you try to? Or is it just that it's showing offline? If it's the latter, check your networking configuration, it'll be because one of your ports aren't reachable (7777/udp, 7777/tcp, AND 8888/tcp if you're playing experimental)

[pulsar gyro]

yeah its simply offline, will try adding 8888 port

[sturdy gust]

Double check that you've allowed both 7777/tcp AND 7777/udp, they have to both be explicitly defined 🙂

[pulsar gyro]

yeah was following some videos, added port 8888 also, but...

how can I check that I have the correct server version? is there difference for stable and experimental?

also i dont understand which ip I should be using when creating the server

[forest stratus]

Gotcha, thanks

dunno how i missed that o.O

[forest stratus]

There was an update like 20 minutes ago so maybe you have a client-server mismatch

[pulsar gyro]

i just updated everything and resstarted server and client a few times

same issue, just shows server offline

[forest stratus]

k, probably not that then

[pulsar gyro]

will try to force update the server too

how can I check that I have the correct server version? is there difference for stable and experimental?

so far only getting server offline

any help or like a good guide to follow would be welcome, clearly i missed a step somewhere idk...

[sturdy gust]

@pulsar gyro how are you hosting the server? Is it on your same machine? Is it on another machine? What operating system are you using? Etc. etc.

This is the wiki FYI 🙂 https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers

Link is pinned too

I'm assuming you're running the dedicated server directly from Steam on your Windows PC, meaning it's the same device

If so, swap the address with localhost or your machine's local IP (the IP in your screenshot looks like your router, not your PC)

[pulsar gyro]

hosting and trying to connect on 1 pc for now. windows 10, game version 1.1. all on steam, server downloaded using the steamcmd terminal

yeah followed a few videos and the wiki already

[sturdy gust]

Should just be your address then, port forwarding is irrelevant as it's on the same PC 🙂

[pulsar gyro]

hm ok so dumb question then what is my pc's ip adress/ how to find it

[sturdy gust]

Try localhost

[pulsar gyro]

i see, so had wrong address

version mismatch between server and game now

[sturdy gust]

Yeah, just need to update one or both. A new patch just dropped, so that's likely why

[pulsar gyro]

hm just updated

how to make sure server is on experimental as well?

looks like server is out of date

[sturdy gust]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Windows_2

[pulsar gyro]

😂😭

[pulsar gyro]

version mismatch after updating GG

[deep turret]

there is no -experimental experimental branch is -beta experimental

also it remembers the branch, so next time simply do app_update without any beta

[thorn lynx]

anyone got a clue on how to update it? im hosting via Bisect hosting

[deep turret]

if you use a rented game service then search their own documentation first

[thorn lynx]

i have, everything on how to install the server, but no info whatsowever on how to update

like i could press this but im afraid i might lose the save file (and my friend set this up, i dont know where it is XD)

[pulsar gyro]

i had to use force directory command for it to update

without force directory still had mismatch

[deep turret]

it's because default directory is different, so you installed it multiple times at different locations
and while default one was up to date the one you ran was not

I thought you had installed at default location from start

that's why using a single long command is more reliable, you can save it in a text file for next time

[pulsar gyro]

ok, whats the default location then?

[deep turret]

depends on your system

[pulsar gyro]

😑

bruh

[deep turret]

from what user and where you are running steamcmd

maybe there is a command to ask steamcmd where it installed it but I don't know it

next time write down your install/update command so you can start from what you did last time

[pulsar gyro]

ok so can you share an example

what is your default directory then

nowhere in wiki or videos anyone mentions this

[deep turret]

on Linux
let say your are user you
and running steamcmd as 'you' from home
it will be in
/home/you/.steam/steamapps/file/satisfactory/
or something similar

[deep turret]

because it's a steamcmd thing, not a satisfactory thing
most video and guides tell you to always specify +force_directory

[pulsar gyro]

right... but in this case it was the update breaking it

cant even update without it

[deep turret]

because it update the directory you specify

official wiki do tell you it's the same command for update

that's the good and also the bad thing about command line

they do what you ask them to do strictly

no force_dir = default location

the only misleading thing here is stramcmd do not have failsafe command name for updates
it's always install/update
it always do with whatever it finds

[sturdy gust]

Port forwarding through your router most likely

[pulsar gyro]

already added 7777 udp tcp 8888 tcp

[sturdy gust]

You've added them in your router, and to your local system's IP?

[pulsar gyro]

uh no what?

in firewall, where else am i supposed to add it 😭 😭

instructions unclear

the implementation is horrible, works seamlessly in client, but '''''''''''''''''''''''''''' server ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' doesnt work, take hours to troubleshoot lmao

[sturdy gust]

The implementation is similar to any other game server 🙂 You need to port forward in your router, otherwise your router doesn't know where to send your friend's request

I can't give instructions on how to do this in your router as every router is different, but somewhere in the advanced settings or security settings should be a port forwarding page

This is all documented in the wiki: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Router_Setup

[pulsar gyro]

well i appreciate your patience, might just be a little above my paygrade :/

didnt think it would be this complicated

[sturdy gust]

I'd recommend looking for a hosting provider instead 🙂 This is the general process for all game servers. Networking is networking, and it can be a little daunting if you haven't encountered it before

[pulsar gyro]

i mean i can just host the session normally.... just trying to not have game hog gpu while in background

[bold light]

isn't there some kind of fps limit when you alt+tab?

[deep turret]

port forwarding is not very complicated but it does takes time and documentation to get right

some routers makes that very easy

others are literally full of bugs

[amber fern]

my buddy's modem/router was fully locked down by his ISP and he had to call them to do it for him (allegedly. I wasn't actually there, and would believe that it was a skill issue haha)

[crimson gorge]

I have a docker that automatically resets every 6 hours in addition to the reset thats built into the server settings. I want to know if its the docker or the game itself thats set up to reset every 6 hours

[stoic stream]

when someone tries to join my server from the outside, it crashes their client

[viscid vessel]

This might be helpful

[tall nest]

Is there a known issue where the 1.1 exp server sometimes gets into an error loop when loading saves? This can occur due to a manual or automatic server restart and a manual save load. Other times, the server starts just fine.

When I encounter this error, the server becomes inaccessible to the client and only outputs a repeating block of log entries. If I kill the server once or twice, by the second or third restart, it will ultimately load the save and accept connections properly.

I invoke the server with —Port and —ReliablePort explicitly defined. Both ports have clear holes through iptables and my router. Whether it loads a map properly or enters this error loop seems random. Sometimes, it starts normally and can be connected to (both locally and remotely). Other times, I encounter this issue, rendering it inaccessible to all clients (including even interaction using the game's "Server Manager" menu).

I attached a snippet of the relevant server log entries. Any thoughts or ideas are welcome.

[glad nest]

For me its not just sometimes it seems its at every daily restart and whenever we load a save manually

[stoic stream]

any other ports needed besides 7777 to be forwarded?

Friend says he is getting weird glitching.

[weary pasture]

1,1 has Port 8888 as well

[trim tangle]

Is there a way to host a server with only one available port?
I'm behind a router in an apartment building. I do not have admin access to that router, so I've been using a VPN to host a dedicated server in beta and 1.0. This has worked well, as the VPN gives me a dedicated IP and 1 port, but I have not been able to work out how to configure this in 1.1

[sturdy niche]

1.1 can't have only 1 port

Use playit.gg or something else to have 2 ports

[trim tangle]

Thanks, I'll check it out

[hidden forge]

But a VPN gives you all the ports? A VPN makes it so that you are already inside your network/directly connected to the server. Then you can use all the ports

@trim tangle

And if you hosted back in beta you already used three ports

[trim tangle]

Its a regular VPN with a dedicated IP and one outside port, not a peer to peer type setup. The beta and 1.0 game are indeed asking to use multiple ports but by pointing all those to one value and using the server manager to connect we got it to work on just one VPN assigned port 🙂

[hidden forge]

What VPN software do you use?
Generally a VPN should package network packets inside another, send this one to the peer at that one port, then extract the original package.
So even with only one VPN port you can use all the ports inside of it

[sturdy niche]

1.0 ask for 7777/udp 7777/tcp
1.1 ask for 7777/udp 7777/tcp 8888/tcp

so 1.0 works

[trim tangle]

@hidden forge
Maybe you're right, and I just have not found the correct settings yet.
My understanding is that the ports need to be seen by the client to make a connection, and the VPN is only presenting one port on that IP

[sturdy niche]

MOTHER OF HELL
1.1.0.2 MADE IT WORST
IT BOOTED UP THE SAVE AT 100% ALL CORES

[deep turret]

for what amount of time ?

[hidden forge]

What VPN software do you use?

[sturdy niche]

2min 50s, it's written in the screenshot

the game hard buged so bad, it's said fuck you to my world and gone to the world creation save, AND THE CPU CORES ARE STILL AT ALL 100%

[trim tangle]

I have been using Private Internet Access.
Now I've turned off the VPN and I'm trying to figure out Playit.gg

I've set up a tunnel that uses TCP+UDP with 2 ports, and I've been able to connect via the server manager page in the menu and load up the world save. When I tried to log on I got the same crash and error as I got earlier today using the VPN:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x00000000000000c0

error shortened ```

[hidden forge]

Ah yeah, PIA is on of these VPNs. Didn't know you could even route something from their end to yours.
Don't have experience with playit.
You on stable or experimental? Experimental needs a third port

[trim tangle]

The issue started after we updated to 1.1 experimental.
I've tried a tunnel with 3 ports TCP+UDP using playit.gg, but we all get the same error. Its so frustrating because I do have remote admin access, but nobody can actually log on. I'm going to put it all aside for now and have a fresh look at it later.
Thank you @hidden forge and @sturdy niche for your help.

[sturdy niche]

so for play it gg it's simple
create an tunnel with 2 ports
take the port from the ip it gave you
go to the launch settings of Satisfactory
go to ExecStart=/home/steam/satisfactory/FactoryServer.sh
add -Port=[the port given to you by playit.gg] -ReliablePort=[the port given to you by playit.gg + 1]

and in playit.gg for the local address put the server local ip and [the port given to you by playit.gg]

Why ?
because wen you create an tunnel with 2 ports it will take the port you putted in the local address and the second one will be the port you putted in the local address + 1

same on the output ip
public port + public port +1

[trim tangle]

Oh okay. When I turned off the VPN I thought I did not need launch options anymore. I'll try it after dinner.
Thank you @sturdy niche

[spare tartan]

Hi, I'm currently hosting a dedicated server but I frequently run into the issue of having "ghost" foundations. When I dismantle foundations, they just appear to still be there, but when interacting with them (walking on them) I just fall through. Also I cant select some foundations (with the middle mouse button) that were (apparently) built before the last server restart. Other people on the server experience similar issues. Its highly unlikely that the cause for the issue is performance, since we are only at phase 2. It has happend on previous playthroughs and I was wondering if there is now a fix for this annoying bug.

Thank you in advance!

[trim tangle]

@sturdy niche It worked! Thank you so much

[sturdy niche]

yippe

[sturdy niche]

the CPU leak is so bad
sudo systemctl stop satisfactory takes 2min to process

Anyone getting this on experimental when placing certain buildings?

is there some type of Glitch going on?

When my friend goes to build a foiundation, it necver completes, and he can't see any other foundations built by others, however my other friend it's fine. Wtf is happening?

[frozen tangle]

Has anyone seen any bugs with laying foundations on multiplayer servers?

[stoic stream]

I am getting the same issue

[spare tartan]

I think this issue has appeared since the launch of 1.0. I have seen several bug reports that mention the exact same problem. Does anyone here know if this is fixed in 1.1 or if there is a pheaseable other fix (without constantly reconnecting?)

[tall nest]

I experienced this on 1.0 but have not yet experienced it on 1.1. That said, I haven't played for too long on 1.1 (maybe 10 to 12 hours), so the issue could still exist, and 1.1 brings other potential problems.

[spare tartan]

ah ok, thank you. I think i will try to lower the auto restart interval since it only happens after a few hours of gameplay. I would personally rather have to rejoin once every 4hrs or so rather than every time I remove a foundation

[deep turret]

this is the kind of problem ReliablePort is mostly fixing (1.1)

[rose valley]

Yes. We were basically hitting all sorts of walls and limitations with the build in replication system, built on UDP. At the end of the day, the replication system in Unreal Engine doesn't cope with the kind of scale Satisfactory hits - as it is optimized for latency and not throughput - and we decided to take matters in our own hands, open up a TCP port that is great when you want to fling a lot of data around and don't particularly care about latency at the minor cost of annoyingly having to configure additional ports in your firewall. It ended up not only fixing the issues, but also bringing significant performance improvements with it.

[tall nest]

The client experience has felt improved.

[whole meadow]

I have received few reports of this, but sadly i am unable to repro it on my side. When you have this issue next time could you share the logs from server and client ?

[random pecan]

do the system requirements increase massively by running two dedicated servers on one machine instead of ... one dedicated server?

if so, do they require all that beef from the system simply by running? or is an idle world with no players in it not very heavy?

so in the scenario of me and my friend playing on my server, but nobody being on another friends server, the "idle" server should not hog as many resources as the one we are in?

SPECS of SERVER
CPU/GPU: Ryzen 5 2400G PRO
16GB RAM
128GB m.2 SSD

iirc the CPU got a single-core performance of 2200-something, so it is over the req of 2000 as listed in the Wiki

[frozen tangle]

It happens every 5-10 minutes while I am playing, happy to share the logs and hell, I will even stream it if you want to see lol

[whole meadow]

Logs will be helpful, i have seen the videos.

[frozen tangle]

You got it! I will start gaming asap! Do I submit logs right through the games feedback section?

[proven sparrow]

I am currently running a DIY satisfactory server via Epic Games client. I was wondering if I downloaded the Experimental whether I could run them both alongside each other? My concern is that they might share the same 'Factorygame' folder for save files? Anyone have experience with this? If they do share the same folder is there anyway to make a new folder and get the experimental version to point to there?

[whole meadow]

If there is QA site ticket you can share it there or in my DM on discord.

[stoic stream]

Do you know if this happens with the Linux and Windows dedictated server, or just windows

[whole meadow]

I have seen reports only from linux, wasn't sure if it also happens on windows. Also one of our programmer who implemented the new reliable messaging system said "If players who are playing as clients on dedicated servers are having issues in getting feedback for building foundations but are getting visual feedback for building other buildables like pipes, belts or factory building, ask them to remove big chunks for foliage nearby and based on the result of that we can know what the issue could be."

[quick ore]

Anyone can help me with a problem with my server. I have installed the docker container in unraid. With the experimental build. However using the port 7777 de game crashes on connect. Swapping to the port 8888 it’s just stays infinite in the .bat loading screen

Anyone have some tips off potential issues? ( ports are opened)

[frosty gale]

You have to open ports 7777 and 8888. Add a new 'path, port, variable, label or device' in the container with config type of 'port'. Then set the container port, host port and default value to 8888. Set the connection to TCP and give the config a name. Save, apply and restart the server.

[fresh parcel]

nice

[jolly pollen]

Anyone know the commands to fix a dedicated server causing clients to crash? I know it's regarding the ports

Been trying the reliableport command given in the change logs but it's kicking it back saying it's a unknown console command

[mild thunder]

the reliableport command goes in the startup command of the server if your running experimental

[jolly pollen]

ah fun, trying to help a friend thats running their own dedicated from home and keep crashing with this for the crash report.

if im not mistaken thats what it gives when theres the port issue right

[mild thunder]

im not sure

if they are not getting fully loaded into the world before it crashes, probably do need to check the ports

[obtuse dagger]

heey, im new here and have an issue with my dedicated server, the qna link is https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/67f978806b7c57319636664e but i can repost the page here if needed , thanks beforehand

[quick ore]

im also with the same issue

[stoic stream]

Ports not forwarded right

Need 7777 and 8888 tcp/udp

[sturdy niche]

7777 tcp/udp and 8888 tcp

8888 doesn't need udp

[quick ore]

yeah if you are using a docker container

you need to have 7777 udp/tcp and 8888 tcp

[stoic stream]

i just always do bothj, don't really care

[nova harness]

Is it safe/okay to run a dedicated server on 1.1?

If so does anyone know how I update a brand new server to 1.1 (EVLBOX is my hosting company)

[tall nest]

It's experimental. It has issues. It has improvements. I'm running it and having a good time (despite some problems). If you'd like, back up your saves and give it a try.

[tall nest]

Most external links are disallowed here, but Google "EVLBOX satisfactory experimental." The first two results should give you everything you need.

[nova harness]

Thanks!

[deep turret]

the bottleneck often is RAM
very big save can take 24GB for the dedicated server alone
then you need stable enough cpu to give second dedicated server similar performance as to the first one : most last gen desktop cpu will do fine
older laptop cpu will do crap

then it will tack ressources as long as world is running
so if world is paused when disconnected it will be almost free cpu wise (but still lock a lot of RAM)

with 64GB RAM you could host 3 dedicated servers for instance

[normal marsh]

Well roll the dice and see. For me it crashes on anyone joining, making it unusable on Experimental atm. I can play on it solo after it initially crashes, but that's a moot point if my friends can't play with me.

Which is a shame because it runs much better than 1.0 and has all the sexy new improvements like blueprint auto connect.

[obtuse dagger]

But I have forwarded and allowed 7777 on tcp/udp and 8888/tcp. Im also getting the same issue connecting locally which shouldn't require any port forwarding.ive also allowed bot ports inside ufw for both tcp and udp

[mild thunder]

in addition to adding the port to ufw, did you check the docker config to make sure that the ports are going to the docker container, as well as making sure the startup script uses the correct ports?

[quartz sigil]

can someone help me pls.

how can i change session name on dedicated server?

i’ve tried everything i found on web. nothing solves(

[brisk cobalt]

I'm seeing something similar on my end. Got through once and was able to play, reloaded the save and now I can't. Ports are correctly forwarded, and are present in the *.ini, but I'm back to crashing on load.

It seems to allow me in after a restart of the server though

[tribal lantern]

my server crashes while uploading the save

(fresh server)

i've never joined the server yet. trying to load an 8 hour save

[tribal lantern]

fixed it: change cpu mode to westmere

[random pecan]

uhm I loaded my save into a new dedicated server on 1.1, and everything runs smoothly, except all my blueprints are gone

are blueprints stored on the machine hosting the server, or stored in a save game file on my client side computer?

[vagrant haven]

I think second (srry for ping)

Guys. Does anyone had an issue with experimental DS 1.1 (latest as of current moment) that when player plays for more than 30 min, the grass/trees obstacles uppon destruction stays for clients and when placing foundations they are placed on server but on client only hologram appears?

[vagrant haven]

Still same error? did you add a flag -ReliablePort=8888?

[stoic stream]

You don't have to forward ports for local, so something else is wrong. Is the windows firewall on where you are hosting the machine, or you using Linux

[turbid hound]

I'm having the same issue, did you figure out any other fix other than restarting?

[brisk cobalt]

If you manually load a save, it seems like players crash on join until a restart

[vagrant haven]

It didn't quite helped thou (same issue?)

[deep turret]

it's saved on host (so server here)
but it's not embedded in the save file
it's separate files in the save directory

[young stream]

is it just me or can you end up with nowhere near the appropriate amount of hand slots on a dedicated server? only hand slot i got was unlocked when I was logged in and playing, so now i have 3 slots when i should have at least 5, if not 6...

[deep turret]

depends what tier you are at

you always start with 2

[glad pasture]

has anyone encountered this error when trying to connect to a server? I am hosting and my friend is having trouble connecting

[tall nest]

You don't have the new port forwarding properly set up.

[glad pasture]

oh it changed from 7777?

what are the new ports?

[tall nest]

Added 8888 (there are two now), see #patch-notes message

[glad pasture]

thanks!

I just port forwarded 8888. Where do I add it on the server so that it going to the right path? I am using the steam server tools

[tall nest]

I launch it with custom scripts, and I'm not familiar with Steam Tools.

[deep turret]

it just need port open in firewall and forwarded TCP server will open port if 1.1

you can check listening ports with commands found in official wiki

[young stream]

sigh any way to handle the "duplicate pioneer holding all my stuff" bug where my body is apparently inside the world and even moves if i try and approach it without a save editor?

[mild thunder]

if your launching it through the steam app, just add in the ports in the launch options

[glad pasture]

we figured it out thanks everyone!

[true turret]

I have a question. is there a way to change the admin password in the config files? Ive forgoten mine and had to reinstall the game.
I have looked through the files and wiki but found nothing. I also have deleted the config files but i cant get the menu for a new password to pop up.

[tall nest]

Delete the ServerSettings.7777.sav file within the SaveGames folder on the dedicated server. If it's running on Linux, the file is located at ~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/ServerSettings.7777.sav. If Windows, you'll have to Google it.

Also, the 7777 in that filename could be different if you configured a different port.

[true turret]

Thank you, that solved it!

[gentle bluff]

I have to keep restarting the server over, and over, because it either 1. doesnt let people join, 2 it commits code endment

[gentle bluff]

mmmmmm blueprint crashy

crashes after that

[fossil fox]

Hi, if I run my dedicated server via SteamGUI, everything is fine, can load up my game. But when I do it via wolveix dockerized server, it's stuck at the loading screen, weird too as I can hear the game working in the background. This is the experimental branch btw.

[fossil skiff]

Will placing Conveyor Belts now no longer crash the server?

[coral ginkgo]

Yep. Built whole mega factories, there's no instability I've seen

[fossil skiff]

Thanks,glad to know it.

[hidden forge]

You are on experimental and missing the new port

[fossil fox]

Works perfectly with the new port 8888. This is all on the same local machine btw. But when I try it with a 2nd server while the 1st one is running, I assign it 8889, and that's open too, still stuck on the initial loading screen.

[noble merlin]

So I'm new to SFServers, but not to servers in general. Having the issue where it closes when I leave the game. I've tried claiming as admin on public IP and then client locally, and vice versa. No matter what, the server hangs when I leave. Am I missing something?

[late sleet]

Externally hosted server has been constantly crashing for the last few days, throwing up the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error, address is either 0x0000000000000028 or 0xffffffffffffffff
Cant see how it would be a hardware issue as the server has a plenty good cpu and more RAM than one could ever hope to use
Run through all the fixes I've found elsewhere (such as drivers, bios, file integrity)
Have seen in prior posts here that some people encounter this when starting to use a lot of blueprints, just cant seem to figure out which ones I've been using could be causing it
At a loss as to how to approach this anymore

[buoyant forge]

Hi guys, is there a new Ptero gameserver Egg or so? (Because for 1.1 Experimental some has changed on the Server Side if I'm not wrong)

[mild thunder]

There is a new egg you can download, or you can manually make the changes yourself.

[buoyant forge]

do you maybe have a Link?

[mild thunder]

If you look it up on the egg repository it should be the only egg

[ashen juniper]

My server just randomly closes. A friend and I have been playing on it for a week. But for some reason the cmd window closes randomly. We are on 1.1. All ports 7777 and 8888 are open. Any Ideas on how to just keep it up and running?

[stoic stream]

I) forgot where are the saves stored for the dedicated server, just going to migrate this to Linux to see if there are less glithces

[tall nest]

On Linux? This folder: ~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server

[stoic stream]

windows

similar?

oh it's in appdata

got it, thanks

[stoic stream]

can i just make this after getting Satis on Linux, or do I need to just create a save first, then go from there

if it's part of the home directory, then should work

[tall nest]

If the files exist, it will see them immediately once you start the dedicated server. You can even change saves in-place while it is running and refresh the client UI to see new saves.

[buoyant forge]

parker (or so) only has the one from v1.0 (last updated last year)

[earnest hornet]

Has anyone else seen this issue on their 1.1 dedicated servers? https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/10ycpe6/objects_stuck_with_blue_hologram_not_building/?rdt=37084

[tall nest]

I think that sort of stuff is the main reason 1.1 required two ports now: #dedicated-servers message. And no, I have not had those sorts of issues on 1.1 yet.

[vagrant haven]

Yes. Even with new ports and etc. Seems like some packet drops after a while and server places thy item correctly but for players it's blue

Reconnecting fixes the problem. I believe it's on Network level issue

[earnest hornet]

Yeah I noticed that reconnecting fixes it. Just wanted to make sure it was a known issue.

[vagrant haven]

Idk. even disabled L7 and L4 protection on host side, but still happens after 30-90 mins

sometimes just, doesn't happen

[tall nest]

I must be lucky, then. 🙂

[vagrant haven]

Does seem like it. I still believe that this is a net issue, and if confirmed than that sucks a lot, cause even if 1-4 packets dropped and this issue arises it kinda annoys people. In this case it's better for devs to sync data with server back via TCP protocol in order to keep everything synced. Can be done like: get player->near locations->buildables if player has n loaded then ignore, if n != the true objects on client than sync and run once per min or idk. can be done better, this is example

[glad nest]

not had issues with that either

[sleek sandal]

Hey, I know this is probably something I should already know as a server operator.

But I'm currently experimenting with hosting dedicated servers. I have several servers without public IPs, and one server that does have a public IP. So far, I’ve been using the server with the public IP to relay traffic to the others. This setup has worked fine for Minecraft.

However, when I try to do the same for Satisfactory, it doesn't seem to work.
Has anyone here worked with something like this and might be able to help?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

[vagrant haven]

you use proxy for MC so that when player connects to specific domain/link it redirects to a local conn to that server but with satisfactory it doesn't work, right?

[sleek sandal]

Yeah, I use a wireguard VPN for transmitting from the "relay"-server to my bigger servers, and for MC it works fine. but for Satisfactory, it just says server offline like shown in the picture.

Now I know satisfactory might do dedi servers different from MC.

For MC, Player connects to 37.XXX.XX.XXX:25565, and they get "redirected" to a local server

[vagrant haven]

idk what to say. usually people use traefik in that case to relay traffic if incoming is from location x to local server

But with WG it may be different, did you allow 7777 and 8888 (both udp and tcp)? did you attached it to wg network?

[sleek sandal]

I have allowed a bunch of ports, considering I can connect and play just fine when connecting directly to the wireguard IP. I could try traefik

[vagrant haven]

strange then.

But hey, wehn using traefik I recommend launching Satisfactory via docker compose and define traefik labels for incoming traffic

[sleek sandal]

I currently use a Docker image for Satisfactory servers, its the wolveix/satisfactory-server, is that the one I should use? or is there a different one?0

[vagrant haven]

I think it's okay to use this one thou, I used it for myself previously

labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.docker.network=traefik
      - traefik.http.routers.api.rule=Host(`your domain here or point`)
    networks:
      - traefik
networks:
  traefik:
    external: true

This is what I used to add in my compose

but also don't forget to run traefik via compose with the same name. Example:

services:
  traefik:
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: traefik:latest
// configs and etc

[sleek sandal]

I'll definetly have to research that

[sleek sandal]

I see that servers use 2 ports, one for id guess game packets, and one for communication with the server. how does the client know the port for the communication?

[vagrant haven]

That's the thing, I still haven't figured it out

[sleek sandal]

oo it works

I binded *:1777 to wireguard-sevrer-1:7777

[sleek sandal]

have you ever experienced the game crashing when using relayt?

[vagrant haven]

I've experienced crash when forgot to forward ReliablePort

[sleek sandal]

Which is? the 8888 port?

[sleek sandal]

I bound 7777 to 1777, and 8888 to 1888

[vagrant haven]

Strange then

Should've worked

[vagrant haven]

Yeah

[vagrant haven]

Actually, can you send an error log? Or what happens on server log console during and after player connect/disconnect

[sleek sandal]

I can check, connection is fine when connecting without the relay tho

[sleek sandal]

hich log? game crash log? satis server log? or relay?

[vagrant haven]

Wait, server chased or client?

[sleek sandal]

Game clientg

[vagrant haven]

Error code?

[vagrant haven]

It seems like reliable port is not detected by client or is not set, but if without relay works then it SHOULD connect, but doesn't

[sleek sandal]

weird, might be because its not 7777 and 8888

[vagrant haven]

Maybe, cause I'm using those two for now only

Maybe try em out?

[sleek sandal]

Will try them out

[mild thunder]

If the 8888 port doesn't match all the way through you need an extra argument when you launch the server I think

[sleek sandal]

I mean, this server is only for me and my friend. So i could make it 7777x8888

Yes, it was port mismatch

I do feel the occasional lagbacks tho

would probs be solved If I had only relay running on the relay server

right now its running 8 websites, 2 websockets and 3 PSQL instances

[tall nest]

Naw, I'm not using either of the default ports.

[lusty trellis]

Is anyone else running into the issue where after the server restarts, no one can connect? (on experimental)

client sees the connection but can't auth

[noble merlin]

Anyone have any suggestions on this? Did I brick it by claiming admin from both IP's at different points in time? I've tried removing all connections and just adding it as a client, but still no luck

[vagrant haven]

Just. Reinstall. Idk how to help you, no client connection logs from server, no server/client crash logs

[naive pendant]

okay i have One issue.... PLEASE tell me someone has a fix... please 😄

I have the server running on WindowsGSM on and alternate computer. I can connect to the game using my Local IP and/or Dedicated IP. But when I exit it shuts down the server. Even if I am Admin or I am Client. It shuts down the server. is there a fix to this.. I want to run the server 24/7 even when we are offline. Is there a fix to this?

[noble merlin]

I’ll give it a shot, thanks

[hidden forge]

1.0: don't host on (directly) Windows
1.1: should be fixed

[noble merlin]

On that note, is there a way to clear admin logs? I suspect it may still be treating my client connection as admin since I previously claimed it from the IP I’m trying to log in as a client from

[vagrant haven]

It shouldn't matter? Client should connect no matter is that a regular nor admin

Do you have logs on server what happens when you connect?

[noble merlin]

Yeah, I’ll drop them here when I get home

[hearty goblet]

anyone know how to configure the amount of rotating autosaves now? this doesnt expand on the amount of autosaves :/

-ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=8:Engine:[/Script/FactoryGame.FGSaveSession]:mNumRotatingAutosaves=288

[wicked knot]

Outside of valid parameters? 2^8 = 256 range of 0-255

[hearty goblet]

there is a limit?

[wicked knot]

to everything

[hearty goblet]

im curious - how would i find out what the permitted values and value ranges are?

[wicked knot]

experience? I dont know any of this for certain, but occams razor says it's probable. How many 1s and 0s did the programmers allow for storing that value?

[hearty goblet]

also, in 1.0 I was able to just manually change the engine and factory game ini files, but now they appear to be overwritten with some kind of template. dont like this -ini situation but couldnt find any other way

[wicked knot]

that is possible, if the devs are focusing on a particualr thing while actively developing the game

[hearty goblet]

there seem to be more autosaves now so thanks a bunch for the help @wicked knot the svc seems to start even if i give it invalid arguments so this one was bugging me for a while..

[tall nest]

Just pass INI changes on the CLI when you start the server. For example, this is how I invoke the server. You can edit as many INI settings as you'd like.

/opt/steam/satisfactory-dedicated-server/FactoryServer.sh -Unattended -Log -Port=7777 -ReliablePort=8888 -ini:Game:[/Script/Engine.GameSession]:MaxPlayers=12 -ini:Engine:[/Script/FactoryGame.FGSaveSession]:mNumRotatingAutosaves=20 -ini:Engine:[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]:NetServerMaxTickRate=120 -ini:Engine:[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]:LanServerMaxTickRate=120 -ini:Engine:[/Script/SocketSubsystemEpic.EpicNetDriver]:NetServerMaxTickRate=120 -ini:Engine:[/Script/SocketSubsystemEpic.EpicNetDriver]:LanServerMaxTickRate=120 -ini:Engine:[/Script/Engine.Engine]:NetClientTicksPerSecond=120

(edit: didn't fully read chat history before responding, heh)

[hearty goblet]

heh, took me a bit to figure out how to load multiple ini files also :p

thanks again for the help

[vagrant haven]

Do you know where to get ALL values and ini that server admin could look up and change?

[tall nest]

I don't. The best resources are the default INI files and the wiki.gg pages. You can also find some interesting stuff by looking through any open-source repositories managing Satisfactory installations (hosting providers, container maintainers, automated installation handlers, etc.). If anyone knows of better sources, let us know! 🙂

[vagrant haven]

I'll let you know if I find any. It's just a bit of...idk. Not publicly available info I believe? like I want better logging on network level to get some problem sorted, but in Engine.ini there is no such option thou

Has anyone tried changing self signed cert to own cert on Server API?

[acoustic python]

kinda curious about self hosting on my old system (i7-2600K, 32GB RAM, SSD), probably on Linux, but I think it would be too expensive energy wise (UK has relatively high electricity price per kWH right now).

Does anyone have any experience of this?

[odd crown]

Anyone seeing 1.1 servers taking up more memory? I restarted in 1.1 and I just had a crash and went to check why and apparantly my laptop had run out of memory.

I'm aware there's a uobject leak bug that could affect this I guess, but they do seem to be running higher on memory consumption

[buoyant forge]

Can I upload Blueprints to a Dedicated Server (Hosted using the Ptero Egg) and if yes, where?

[plush roost]

any known workarounds for the high idle CPU? finding my box constantly at 75% load with no players until the docker container gets restarted at which point the cpu drop back down to near 0%

Seen several others complaining about this issue on the QA site and in this channel previously

[obtuse dagger]

hey i have a question, if i upload an autosave to the server my client crashes and gives almost the same error log as @sleek sandal 's issue, but when i upload a mannual save i can load in fine(sometimes im a different player and have to kill the old me). this goes for server autosaves too, if i load a autosave made by the server it once again crashes the client.

[vagrant haven]

yeah, idk what to say but most people that have this posted on QA that this is a 'cpu leak'.

[lusty trellis]

Sometimes after loading a new save on a DS I get this every time I try to join. Restarting the server doesn't have an effect unless I fully remove all server settings. First load works for a time. The next server restart will result in the same client crashes.

I'm on experimental for both

[crimson lake]

Had the same error. Did you open port 8888 udp and tcp? That fixed it for me.

[lusty trellis]

It's open, yes

wait let me check my forwarded ports though

Yes 8888 is forwarded, and the port is open

[lusty trellis]

wait does 8888 need udp? The docs didn't mention udp

added the rule and will see what happens

Same issue persists

[tall nest]

If you look at the channel history, countless people came here with that error message, and it was always resolved by correctly forwarding the new port. I'm not saying another cause isn't possible, but double-check everything.

[tall nest]

Just TCP: #patch-notes message

[lusty trellis]

I'll do a restart of everything but 7777/tcp 7777/udp and 8888/tcp have been open for that past several days of play. I just opened 8888/udp just in case. Tripple checked forwarded ports and open ports.

[tall nest]

Fair enough. It is something related to the new reliable port, based on the call tree in the error message. It could very well be a unique issue with that new system.

[lusty trellis]

I should note my buddy and I have been both playing on it through a domain I have forwarded to the ip, and the satisfactory server is running in a podman container on a rocky linux. Everything works after a fresh container build but eventually will deteriorate immediately after either a save change or an automatic server restart

[tall nest]

Those two latter issues are known (issues after either a save change or an automatic server restart). They happen to me sometimes.

[lusty trellis]

The only thing I haven't done is set up a custom ssl certificate

[lusty trellis]

Ahhhhh

[tall nest]

I just keep restarting the server until it works again.

[lusty trellis]

Yea I have to rebuilt the container for it to work, a server or container restart isn't enough

but a container rebuild works fine, even though all the game data and saves/server config file are all in a mounted partition

Or I should say a rebuild works almost every time

[tall nest]

Yeah, that's rough having to rebuild the container each time. I'm not running in a container (just a local personal Linux box), so I just spam server restarts, and by the third or fourth try, it'll boot and load the save properly. See: #dedicated-servers message

[lusty trellis]

Thanks for the link, I'll expore.

Yea my server is a homelab that runs some production things, so being in a container means I can login to cockpit anywhere and manage everything

[tall nest]

I've been planning on setting up something similar, but I've been waiting until I get around to upgrading the OS, which likely won't happen until support ends for my distribution's release. Procrastination...

[lusty trellis]

That's the other beauty of containerizing everything, system upgrades won't affect them XD

However, when I moved to Rocky linux I nearly lost my zpool because my last os used a newer version of zfs

getting a custom zfs installed in the os and kernel modules in place was a nightmare. Lost a day to that

[tall nest]

Ooh, I'm running ZFS too. I'll keep that in mind. Be sure to check the version of ZFS before any OS changes.

[lusty trellis]

Well more importantly export your zpool

exporting your zpool will make it compatibile for other zfs versions to pick it up

which I had failed to do

[tall nest]

I'll likely stick to a distribution that packages it natively. I don't have time for that anymore. Now, if I were younger. 🙂 Reminiscences about setting up Gentoo systems.

[lusty trellis]

(scratch that I double checked, zfs version is more important, it auto exports on os shutdown)

[lusty trellis]

This is nice if you have recent packages. I wanted something stable and slower and I'm amazed that zfs is the only thing that bit me

rocky linux also lets me dip into the rhel environment a little bit for the experience

[tall nest]

Man, I have a temporary pool (that I used to move a large amount of data around) that is forever stuck in my system because I didn't export it properly, so this behavior may be distribution-specific. That phantom pool causes a warning every time the system rebuilds kernel modules (and therefore runs grub update scripts that traverse available filesystems). For the life of me, I cannot figure out where/what is still storing that old, removed pool. The error doesn't matter, but it annoys me everytime I see it.

[lusty trellis]

Try explicitly importing the zpool and setting its mountpoint somewhere explicit. Purge any snapshots that predate it's removal and then run the zpool destroy command

[tall nest]

I no longer have that pool. It was temporary, on borrowed disks. 😦

[lusty trellis]

check the cache file in /etc/zfs/zpool.cache

zpool labelclear -f <device>

[tall nest]

I'll check that out shortly; thanks.

[fiery ether]

Hey folks. I've got an issue where my whole game client shuts down/crashes every time i try to join my own dedicated server. However, when i join my own server from where the server is running there are 0 issues.

Dedicated Server is running from my laptop.
Trying to join an active game from my PC = Game crashes to desktop.
Port 7777 is open TCP and UDP - Firewall and Router

Could anyone help me figure out what's wrong ❤️

[tall nest]

Are you on experimental? If so, open 8888/tcp, as well.

[fiery ether]

Sorry yes i did that as well. let me doublecheck the router too, i am tired xD

[fiery ether]

And just like that it seems to work ❤️

[buoyant forge]

Can I upload Blueprints to a Dedicated Server (Hosted using the Ptero Egg) and if yes, where?

Please ping me on Answer

[lusty trellis]

Yes there's a blueprints folder within the saved folder next to your savegames

Haven't tried this personally, though

Assumably it works that way

[buoyant forge]

I don’t have this Folder?

[wicked knot]

it gets created on saving a BP in a BP designer in game

[buoyant forge]

We already have created some, but non there

[tall nest]

I don't see your saves, either, so you must not be in the correct location on the filesystem. I don't know how your containers are configured, but the lack of a "SaveGames" folder at the location you posted above tells me you are looking at the wrong path. The save file path ends in FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server/ (and contains .sav files) and the blueprint path ends in FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/blueprints/ (and includes folders named after sessions that contain .sbp and .sbpcfg files for each blueprint).

[vagrant haven]

.config for saves in ptero/pelican

[buoyant forge]

thx

[lusty trellis]

I will say I did custom mounting so that the physical directories on my drive are laid out in a nicer hierarchy, sharing a screenshot was a bad idea without clarifying lol

[feral tartan]

Does anyone here use GTX Gaming for their server -- I've just switched my previous game to satisfactory, but it appears the server is on the experimental version, is there a way to revert it back to 1.0 ???

[deep turret]

yes but it will not be compatible with newly made saves
make sure it loads not experimental save

though I don't know gtx gaming

[marble palm]

Ciao! C’è qualche italiano che ha voglia di giocare a Satisfactory insieme a me?
Mi servirebbe una mano: sono praticamente alla fine del gioco e da solo faccio fatica a gestire tutto.
Volendo, potremmo anche creare un nuovo mondo e giocarci insieme da zero!
P.S. Sono un pro player, quindi posso dare una grossa mano anche a chi è alle prime armi 😉

[feral tartan]

Thanks, finally sorted it, for some reason it installed 1.1 on the server, I found a "reinstall" option which made it download the game and install it again, this time it worked and was 1.0... seems all good now. I was just surprised that it downloaded 1.1 initially.

[hidden forge]

1. English please
2. Probably #1201555265942724758

[boreal tree]

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and I have a question right away. I installed a Satisfactory server on a Windows 11 24H2 VM via Proxmox. The necessary ports are all correctly opened and accessible, and the server is listening on port 7777. When creating the VM, I also selected "host" as the processor. Using my local IP (192.168.x.x), I can connect to the server, but my friends can't join via my public IP—they get a message saying the server might be offline.

As a test, I installed Windows directly on the same PC with the same hardware and set up the server, and in that setup, everything worked perfectly—my friends could join without any issues via my public IP.

Do you have any ideas on what I could try? Obviously, the issue seems to be the connection between my router and the VM.

Thanks and best regards, SkySl1d3r

[hidden forge]

check your port forwarding. sounds like it points towards your PC and not your VM

[boreal tree]

the port forwarding is working fine.. the only difference is that right now there is a proxmox in between

[hidden forge]

You're sure?
Does it point towards the IP of the proxmox host or the IP of the VM?

[boreal tree]

it does point towards the VM

[hidden forge]

Then check the firewall

[placid juniper]

What do i need to write in here

[deft wagon]

Is retaliation broken for monsters on dedicated servers? Monsters just seem to run away after being attacked and do not attack me back.

[deep turret]

it's a setting you can switch it do aggressive in options

[deep turret]

if you talk about port forwarding and you want anyone to be able to join it's either nothing or 0.0.0.0

[deft wagon]

its currently set to retaliate but the enemies are not retaliating

[deep turret]

you are checking the in-game setting ?
not the home setting, which is for local game

[deft wagon]

correct, setting for local client.

[placid juniper]

Do i join w 15777,7777 or 15000

[deep turret]

wdym, I said not for local client
but when in the server game

[deft wagon]

yes the client while connected to the server has the above setting currently set

[deep turret]

default is 7777 seems like you found some old guide, stick to official wiki :

[rancid ether]

Official Satisfactory Wiki

This is the totally awesome community driven wiki for Satisfactory!! Come on in and check it out!
<3 @deep turret

[deft wagon]

creature hostility is supposed to be controlled by the client itself, not the server as far as I'm aware

[deep turret]

it's still 2 different option, and the one in server games is affecting server behavior (while it's a per client option)

[deft wagon]

I don't see an option in server settings to control creature hostility. Is it not located in the "Server Settings" menu? Is there a console command I can use to change it?

[deep turret]

nope, I don't know if you are using experimental or not
it may be disabled

[deft wagon]

yes, experimental

[deep turret]

then it may be disabled by devs

[deft wagon]

yes it may be that. I will test on a stable build later.

[placid juniper]

Well it doesnt work i even disabled the firewall because its my second pc and port forwarded it says offline not authenticated

[deep turret]

external ip should be either empty or 0.0.0.0 if you want anyone to connect

[placid juniper]

Thanks finally took me an hour to set this up

Um i cant upload my save it says failed to connect to the server api

[placid juniper]

And i also cant join it just loads for an infinite time

[cloud arrow]

Can't find any info so far on this disc or online. Wasnt the case with 1.1 untill today's update to 1.1.0.3
Talking about the stutter when flying, it's happening constantly when flying/walking or doing anything ingame.
game just stutters every 5 seconds for a second for some reason 😦
Tried restarting the server, removing it and readding it and the game itself/pc.

[stone bridge]

Anyone else on exp dedicated server now getting hard crashes when attaching track or other station buildings to station buildings with the latest server build?

[royal swan]

Hello
Does anybody know how i can truly reset my progress? I hosted a dedicated server a while ago for a friend. Now i'd like to restart and created a completely new server. Funny thing is, i created a fresh save, cleaned the AppData folder on the server and the client but when i login it says "Welcome back" and i have stuff from the earlier sessions in my inventory. No idea where this progress is saved but i would like to truly restart, somebody has an idea?

[vagrant haven]

If it's ptero/pelican panel it's in .config

[sturdy niche]

+login anonymous +force_install_dir /home/steam/satisfactory +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit

[wicked knot]

if you "skip onboarding", its normal to have some plates, rods, etc on a new game

[royal swan]

Ok thanks, i started a new game in SP then uploaded this to the server which worked. This way we could see the intro and everything

[formal sable]

Alrighty, I think I have my satisfactory server VM set up and working, and it should be reachable from the outside now...

Does anyone want to try to connect?

[lusty trellis]

I'm crashing about every other time I connect rails or stations to eachother, is this known?

[lusty trellis]

Right as I posted I read this

yea

[stone bridge]

Happening to everyone on your server?

[obtuse elbow]

I would like to connect please, what is the code?

[lusty trellis]

Yes

[stone bridge]

Thanks for the confirmation. Glad it's not just me 😅

[scenic lion]

are the 1.1 experimental server useable again ?

[lusty trellis]

I'm on it! It has issues for sure but it's working

[glad nest]

I think the improvements so far outweights the issues

[lunar sand]

can somebody help me out here me and a friend of mine are hosting a dedicated server and the game sometimes starts to desync but only for me not him like building foundations they are just blue and not there for me when i research things in the mam it doesnt research for me and is stuck the whole point + milestones are not unlocking the schematics

[lusty trellis]

Yup there are multiple dsync issues. Leavning and rejoining will solve them for a time. Hologram stickiness went away for us for awhile but it occasionally returns

[lunar sand]

yea i know for rejoining it fixes it temporaly but im realy not going to rejoin every 5-10 minutes

[lusty trellis]

It's what we're working with right now, so you can wait for a fix or try experimental if you're not on it. Or just do client hosting if it's a deal breaker 🤷‍♂️

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com

[lunar sand]

yea lets see couz the foundation aint that annoying but research etc bc we just did a new save for experimental and its annoying for early game

[lusty trellis]

you can check for open issues here

[lusty trellis]

That problem with research went away for us

[placid juniper]

i cant upload my save it says failed to connect to the server api i also cant join because it just loads forever anybody help?

the server is on my second pc and im using the external ip to join

[wicked knot]

In your LAN, use the LAN address. Public IP is for outside your LAN

[plush roost]

i see the idle CPU bug is still not fixed 😦

zero players connected, server is in auto-pause mode

and heres the after pic, killing the games process and relaunching the server...

happens literally every day

i even setup a cron job to reboot the container every day at 5am, but after a few hours it will be right back to maxing out all the cores

[brisk cobalt]

Quick question for anybody running with wolveix's docker container

the run command currently has autopause included as true

I'm garbage with docker run commands. Is there a quick way to edit the run command with the docker stopped that I'm missing?

turns out there isn't. looks like I gotta destroy the current container and start a new one with a new run command.

[south grove]

Yuuup. Happening on both me and my buddy's end as well. I was all set to make the lines to get our nuclear plant running but not anymore

[stone bridge]

Yeah, me and a buddy were setting up to capture the entire Spire Coast nodes to take back to our giant sandcastle in Dune Desert >.<

[south grove]

Hopefully there's a fix soon with how impactful of an issue that is.

[deep turret]

if you are on experimental it's probably still the same bug : socket gets stuck, needs few second off before starting it again
otherwise it bootloops after automatic restart

[split swan]

hmmmm my game keeps crashing trying to boot this up

ill toss error in a sec

[fleet wolf]

yo yo - Is there a specific path for updating my dedicated linux server to experimental? Or do I just shut it down. add the -beta flag and let it rip?

[fleet wolf]

hmm i wish i knew more about the server to help out 😦

I just pulled it down using steamcmd and it workedd... been playing on it for a while

screw it... im going for it

[split swan]

I might need to reverte and just wait until they fix whatever the issue is

cus I can run the server on 1.0

[fleet wolf]

how did you do your backup? just tar up all the random folders it creates acrsos the system

[split swan]

we have a site that handles it for us

so we just click a button that does it for us sry lol

[fleet wolf]

I just tarballed the three different locations the wiki talks about

running the update now

can you turn off the "experimental build" banner at the top left of the screen?

[split swan]

why would u be

[vagrant haven]

Reliable port was not specified in cli by you in dedicated server.

I have tried installing the dedicated server from steam using .\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "D:\Satisfactory" +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit but it keeps installing the experimental branch. Any idea why? I get version mismatch when trying to connect using the standard client and if I try connecting using the experimental client the game crashes. I am just trying to get a non-experimental dedicated server running.

So figured it out. For some reason you still need to put the -beta public flag. Leaving the beta flag off grabs the experimental branch. 🤷‍♂️

[spiral pulsar]

Add -beta public after 1690800 and validate

[brisk cobalt]

So I've been trying to turn off auto-pause and it doesn't seem to be working. I'm on the experimental branch.

Anyone run into this problem, or is it just me?

[verbal hawk]

Hello how much ram does it take for a serv to ca hold until the end of the game?

Hey folks, an interesting observation. I've got the latest experimental dedicated server running in my kube cluster. It works fine but one thing I noticed is that after you "setup/create" the initial game world the process stops listening on 8888 briefly, the logs display "Re-claiming Server Socket from Server Subsystem". After a few seconds it will listen on 8888 again. However, if a client tries to join during those 5 seconds (which they almost always will as you click join game right after creating a game) then they'll crash. The dedicated server, will then stop listening on 8888 and start listening on 8889.

If you don't try and join during the ~5 seconds after the initial creation then it'll happily listen on 8888 and everyone can happily join.

[lilac pine]

does anyone know what causes this error?

[mental locust]

So what are the current server requirements

[lost zenith]

need help with server

when someone tried to join trough steam it said this, and when they try to join trough the game is says it is offline eventough i am in the game.

[wicked knot]

127.0.0.1 (there's no place like HOME) is a loop back address for network troubleshooting, not a valid public IP

[lost zenith]

oh

yeah just asked chatgpt and it said the same thing

i think i got it now imma try again

[wicked knot]

ask gpt what your IP is

[lost zenith]

i did

thanks btw

[sharp sand]

Need some help, installed the server. Went into my nighthawk router settings and added port forawrding on my internal IP no problem, but when I try to set up my external IP to port forward Im getting "This IP address should be in the same subnet as the LAN IP address."

[hidden forge]

You do not need to set up forwarding for your external IP

[fossil garnet]

Is there any guidance on configuring a reverse proxy for experimental with the added port 8888/tcp requirement? I'm struggling to see how to pass both 7777 and 8888 traffic to my dedi server container.
