[dusty hazel]

be sure to change the urfriendip by ur friend's ip

New-NetFirewallRule ` -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory UDP 7777 from Friend" ` -Direction Inbound ` -Protocol UDP ` -LocalPort 7777 ` -RemoteAddress urfriendsip ` -Action Allow

New-NetFirewallRule ` -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory TCP 8888 from Friend" ` -Direction Inbound ` -Protocol TCP ` -LocalPort 8888 ` -RemoteAddress urfriendsip ` -Action Allow

[keen pilot]

Got it working, thanks! I presume it just works if i add another IP to those rules, no need to make a separate one for each?

[dusty hazel]

just run the 3 commands with the other ip

[keen pilot]

So safer to make one rule per connection rather than put many IP's behind one rule?

[dusty hazel]

u can but if another friend join later on u need a new rule but both works

[tropic zenith]

Is there a more graceful way to stop a server?

or is it just Ctrl C

[hidden forge]

you can enter quit or exit, but SIGINT/Ctrl+C is fine

[tropic zenith]

I guess i need to clarify, I start the server via a bat file that runs the exe. and on my host PC, i have 2 CMD windows open, neither of which let me type anything into it

if i type quit (using ~ ) in a server, it just closes my client

[hidden forge]

you need to send it in the server console, not the client console

[trail locust]

sorry for the ping on a message so far up, can you share that config?

i am losing my mind trying to get this thing to work

[hidden forge]

@trail locust

server {
    listen 7777 reuseport;
    proxy_pass UPSTREAM:7777;
}
server {
    listen 7777 udp reuseport;
    proxy_pass UPSTREAM:7777;
}
server {
    listen 8888 reuseport;
    proxy_pass UPSTREAM:8888;
}

adjust UPSTREAM and the ports as needed
the "reuseport" argument is especially important for the UDP port

[tropic zenith]

Right, im just trying to figure out how to ACCESS said server console

[hidden forge]

in whatever console window thats shows the server log output

[tropic zenith]

Well, again the two consoles i have open in my Host PC do not let me type anything, that being said, if i type ~ and typed "Reboot" it did reload my SP world, which leads me to believe it'd work on a server

[hidden forge]

@trail locust
oh yeah, and it MUST be a stream config, not http(s)

[trail locust]

already is

what does reuseport do

that's the one thing that isn't matching between our configs

[hidden forge]

among other things it ensures that the reply gets send back to the original port. important for UDP because its a stateless protocol
see #dedicated-servers message

[trail locust]

sounds like it's needed

It

Still doesn’t work

By all accounts this should be working

[hidden forge]

can you test without the rev-proxy inbetween? does it work then?

[trail locust]

Yes

Wait

[hidden forge]

did you reload the config?

[trail locust]

I might be stupid

[hidden forge]

you wouldn't be the first

[trail locust]

I

Never changed the ip on the proxy after moving the server across tailnets

[tropic zenith]

are you me? 😂

[trail locust]

IT WORKS

I have been trying for a while

[tropic zenith]

Omg it's just one thing after another... me on the server, trying to access blueprints window, all blueprints we had are gone, i go to the folder on the server where they SHOULD be, they're there, server is not recognizing it

When it's not the server taking a dump, its my game. If i try to exit the game or do something else... i get that Unity Crash Send Report nonsense

The session name should be "New World" and yet I dont see the blueprints from in-game in the folder on the server, keep in mind, i created dummy blueprints, ive backed up the ones i want to keep

Uggggh, ok... I think i worked through this.. can i just say I hate OneCloud? itt was effing w/ my files and seems like I had to work through getting everything i had on my OneCloud Desktop, to my Local desktop on my host PC

[twilit fox]

if you got it working, would you mind sharing the rest of your nginx config, or is that it?

[hidden forge]

That's all I have for satisfactory

[twilit fox]

ah alright.. I'll save that for later.. if I ever decide I want to have a url for my server xD

Oh, why won't my dedicated server work now... it says it's running.. it's reachable in the client.. but when I try to join it's stuck on the loading screen..

they had it fine when you only needed one incoming port open.

can I specify the other port like before with the ReliablePort=? option?

[hidden forge]

Yes

[twilit fox]

alright. it looks like it's just ufw kicking my ass today.. again xD

[twilit fox]

Something is not right here.. no one is connected to the server.

[mossy latch]

Hello there, Not sure if this is the correct channel to ask this, but what hosting server provider do you guys recommend? we are only 5 players, We tried to host the server by our own, but the ISP in our country doesnt allow us to do port forwarding

[keen pilot]

Common issue as of now, a fix for it is to either change the ReliablePort to something else or if you are just playing with a couple of friends you can just allow their IP's to connect to 8888 via firewall.

[twilit fox]

how is that going to fix the cpu issue? It seems to have fixed itself for now.

[keen pilot]

There are multiple reports on the QA site about this: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/67efeb096b7c573196363779

Annoying little issue as of now 😦

But gladly it works like a charm after you allow only specific connections

[hidden forge]

Its an issue with how the server handles "crap data"/non-satisfactory traffic on this port, e.g. port scans.
Move the port to another less common port and the chance for random scans goes down

[thin spruce]

Ports in range 8000 are often used for various web projects and control panel, thus they're often scanned by outsider, which is most likely what happening to you right now. IP filtering, via firewall or reverse proxy using NGINX for example, mostly solve the problem.

Else, just go for ports in the 51000 range, very rarely used and/or scanned (-Port=51100 — ReliablePort=51101 for example).

[compact kettle]

any ideas on that one??

what app is this showing that?

[nocturne crescent]

That's casaos or zimaos. Pretty neat Nas/virtualization software actually.

[fathom solar]

didn't fix it for me btw - in fact it only got worse :S

[compact kettle]

What router do you guys with 100% cpu usage have!? I mean sheesh, I haven't seen port scans or any 100% cpu yet since 3 weeks of using a dedicated server with 8888 port open and more..

and :

[sage isle]

i wonder when patch comes out T_T

[thorn tinsel]

how much ram do you recomend for two players on a server? gonna be using a server host so also looking for the best of those?

[half raven]

hello

should I be spaming these? or is 3 enough im around tier 3-4

[somber thicket]

hi my blueprints arent working on my server, i thought it may be the session name being with spaces. if thats case how do i change the session name or how do i fix my blueprints not showing up, they do show up in the serverfiles.

[fallow crypt]

Wrong channel but 3-4 won't be enough to sustain you until you reach the next kind of power generator

[half raven]

oh sorry about that

[half raven]

is six ennough?

[fallow crypt]

I'd say, try and see how it goes down the line 😛

[half raven]

480 mw with 450 production seems fineeee i think

[hollow sigil]

let me tell you, in early to mid game you need about 2k or 3k MW for your basic automation

so i suggest like 16 generators sustained with 6 water extractors

the 8 to 3 ratio is pretty good

[half raven]

🥹 im so screwed it took me 2hours to set up 6 and 2 nearly quiting sesions

[hollow sigil]

its ok the coal generators are the first ones wich include water and thats a real big step in understanding satisfactory

so just take your time and inform yourselfe

[half raven]

What do i do about coal?

[hollow sigil]

coal

[half raven]

I have 2 coal mines leading to my base rn splitting them into 3 different coal generators

[hollow sigil]

yeah the spot for your power grid you choose where water and a decent ammount of good coal nodes are

2 normal ones are enough in most cases

[half raven]

I got 2 pures is that bad?

[hollow sigil]

and your steel production?

[hollow sigil]

thats verry good

[half raven]

I haven’t reached that yet im really struggling to craft the nessary mats

[hollow sigil]

but wait can we get this into #math-and-meta

[half raven]

Ok

[feral sandal]

Hey, I'm trying to host a dedicated server through the steam gui rather than steamcmd; I can see the server, I can join it, but when loading in, it just loads infinitely

How would I begin to go about fixing this?

[dusty hazel]

U must open the 8888 TCP Port

[feral sandal]

I thought it was 7777?

That's the one I have open, that's the one the game says it uses

[dusty hazel]

u need 7777 TCP/UDP and with the 1.1 u also need 8888 TCP

[feral sandal]

Ahh ok

That makes sense, thanks

Also, out of curiosity, what's the minimum reqs for a satisfactory server?

[dusty hazel]

open it reboot the server should work

[dusty hazel]

depends how many players ?

[feral sandal]

I was thinking about moving my server to my vps

[feral sandal]

2 usually, sometimes 3

[dusty hazel]

and how far u plan to go

[feral sandal]

I plan to finish the game and just expand

[dusty hazel]

but if u want to go to the end 16gb is recommended

at least 4vcpu

[feral sandal]

It's mainly for now, I host, but I work, so I have to leave my pc on before I leave so I can let him join

[dusty hazel]

6 or 8 is the best

[feral sandal]

Yeah I think my vps has like 4gb

That's fine, I can still run it off my pc

[dusty hazel]

4gb is a bit low but should works fine at the begining

[feral sandal]

We're at tier 4 of the milestones, on phase 2 of space elevator

[scarlet owl]

I have an issue that only happens on my server..... when I'm playing it will glitch and not place the blue [enter machine/Foundation/wall/ETC] down and when i click to apply it will stay blue. you cant delete the piece, and when you touch it or stand on it, the player stutters and movement is slowed. To fix the issue, i usually exit to the menu and reconnect. Then the items i placed will be built when i log back on.

Does anyone know what could this be related to?

[dusty hazel]

yeah that's the desync issue dedicated server are suffering about

[dusty hazel]

can u check ur cpu usage ?

[scarlet owl]

yes

[twilit fox]

that's still not fixed? :/

[twilit fox]

That ain't going to happen lol. Best bet is to either get a hosting provider with more ram.. or an old pc with 16gb of ram and ideally 7th gen intel or first gen ryzen to host it.

[dusty hazel]

nope :/ but high cpu usage can be a cause

[twilit fox]

Someone said that high cpu usage could be caused by port scanners.. that seems plausible.. I had an issue with it, but it was something else, like a client didn't cleanly disconnect and the server kept running

[dusty hazel]

yep the servers can't handle traffic data well so port scanners are a pain

[twilit fox]

Someone said that high cpu usage could be caused by port scanners.. that seems plausible.. I had an issue with it, but it was something else, like a client didn't cleanly disconnect and the server kept running

[compact kettle]

I doubt it because I get that desync and you've seen my cpu low usage though as I just I posted the pics of it yesterday

I wonder if factorio has such desync issues too as the similar mechanics, just not not the graphics ofcourse..

[fathom solar]

Im getting loads of desync, no high cpu usage tho. Getting so frustrated I might try foundry 🤣

[compact kettle]

Im not sure foundry will have that amazing feeling only satisfactory coincidentally gives...

[compact kettle]

But one idea I had with a friend was to just host it through the standard way (epic games) as no desync then, but then run the dedicated server to just auto play in the background, and when your friends aren't on, just collecting things in the background..

But I just have my friends download the save from the dedicated server and host on their own pc when we want to play together without desync issues

I download and upload the saves when I want to play with no dedicated spefic issues like that while still having the dedicated server running in the background

[nocturne crescent]

Prime day starts soon. HOLD. While it may be only trash on sale. they do sometimes have deals on these types of systems often enough its worth wating for. I'll bet beelink goes onsale too.

[tropic zenith]

Do yall who run a small form factor pc, like the one above, notice the fans running harder when hosting?

Cpu doesn't seem very pegged when I check the task manager, but the fans are blowing

[compact kettle]

Well ive been now under the impression fans better be blowing anyway, as I want air moving whether cpu in use or not 🤣

[tropic zenith]

Rofl I just mean... It feels like they're blowing more than they should at the stress it's at

[nocturne crescent]

This is the fancurve managing heat. It's easier to keep a cpu cool than to cool one down.

[nocturne crescent]

There may be other components getting warm aswell. If you're facing lots of IO the VRM's, memory controller or nvme may be getting hot even if the CPU core is not. the fan controller may also be polling a sensor that you're not looking at such as core hotspot.

[nocturne crescent]

This remindes me i need to clean out my nvidia shield lol

[steel fjord]

Hello beautiful people, this is my first time hosting multiple servers through a command line based Ubuntu Server. I was wondering if there is anyone here who wants to jump on a voice call and help me figure out how to properly edit the .sh files to run multiple servers on the same machine. Please either reply to this or dm me

[compact kettle]

I suppose start at looking atleast at the resource monitors and what's running and etc..

[tropic zenith]

All i can see is factoryServer running at 32.6 units

id imagine %

[compact kettle]

ah so they don't show things like this?

[tropic zenith]

Oh, in terms of that, its at 45% cpu usage

[compact kettle]

well that's almost 50% of utilization right so..

If I was a fan manager, I'd say blow the crap out of it.. 🤣

I mean it's a stupid plastic fan, make it work.. got nothing to lose but I would say you need to see why it's triggering on full speed if that is what is happening 24/7 even when idle etc..

[tropic zenith]

I mean the PC itself not idle, its running the game server

are you implying the pc running the server shoul NOT be running at 45% cpu?

[hidden forge]

Install them in different locations and start them with different values in the "-Port=XXXX" argument.
Make sure to configure the firewall appropriately, especially the secondary port, which will count upwards

[somber thicket]

Does anyone know whats wrong?

[steel fjord]

its the "start them" part that im having issue with, i have 3 separate installed but i launch one and it takes over my command line

[silver notch]

hey! i'm currently switching which of my pc's is hosting my satisfactory server and i was wondering how i transfer my save from one server to the other?

[steel fjord]

dmed you

[compact kettle]

I just wanted to say "sometimes you have to look into why the fans are running crazy, it could mean paste is bad/old, it could mean something is overheating like RandomHero mentioned, the storage drive? the core etc..., I just mean it would be good to find out why the fans are running like that, do they run like that when the server is down as well? and if it only runs during the server is on, there could be many factors.. "

Computers are quite annoying the more factors involved in my small opinion.

but then are things like how I'm not getting the port scans and 100% cpu usage on using a dedicated server.. yet others come here and have that issue.. so see what I mean, it's just too many factors.. ha

[tropic zenith]

When i shut down the server, fans go back to normal speed/sound

[compact kettle]

ok so that's good, sounds like it's normal operation and just the dedicated server causes heat!. haha

[compact kettle]

Along the lines I was talking about above, there are little things that are so annoying to know.. things like lets say there is a memory leak or something gets stuck writing to the drive/ram in constant error state.. that could cause the cpu to go to 45% or higher and the fans to drive to full etc..

[tropic zenith]

EDven just looking at Task manager, Ram is at 42% usage

GPU isn't even pegged at all

[compact kettle]

so then lastly just check the I/O

[compact kettle]

I can post my phase 5 late dedicated server details and compare I suppose..

[tropic zenith]

IVe killed server, CPU sinks to 1% and down to 3.4 ghz

its a AMD ry 9 6900hx

and its silent, fan wise

[hidden forge]

Then configure them as a systemd service or get a terminal MUX like screen

[hidden forge]

The server does not use the GPU. At all

[compact kettle]

thats no players logged in on the dedicated server phase 5

I'd say late game

[tropic zenith]

Sooo then im worrying for nothing then

[steel fjord]

I have no idea what you mean

[compact kettle]

probably, if anything I'd run my fans 100% 24/7 anyway and as a matter of fact.. check this out :

🤣🤣

and that is 6200 rpm.. (laptop fan of course)

[tropic zenith]

rofl

[compact kettle]

aeroblades are metal blades and the motor is magnetic bearinless or what not..

so what do I care? full speed now!!

[compact kettle]

see magnet spinning so what do I care about running it full speed 24/7 🤣 I care about the temp so I'm gonna make these peice of junks work!

[nocturne crescent]

Yes, Get worried when you hear nothing while the system is under a load lmao.

[soft ledge]

the yapping is so fucking crazy theres no dedicated servers in here

[frail light]

huh? this is a channel about helping people run dedicated servers on their own machines

not a dedicated server advertisement channel

[unreal lantern]

I have a dedicated server running 1.1 we have been having issues with crashes since early on 1.0ea, where placing a rail signal would crash it.
We recently had a crash that seemed random, but i have narrowed it down to a very specific event. Placing a foundation in a specific spot instantly crashes the server, with no crash log, and seemingly nothing in the regular logs either.
There are so many warning and a few errors in the normal logs, that its difficult to narrow down what is going on like if there is a save corruption or something.

Some things to note from the logs:

Hello, new to hosting on Linux (Ive just used a Windows 10 image for the past few years). Ive just finished setting up the server as a service with this guide: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Running_as_a_Service

After doing this, I now use almost 3 more GB of RAM to run the same server, from 5.7GB to 8.5GB. Is there something I did wrong to cause this?

[nocturne crescent]

I happen to identify as a dedicated server.

[dusty hazel]

So u have a lot of issues ?

[nocturne crescent]

I wouldn't worry about it. 16GB is the recommended amount of ram. It could also be a case of memory reservation vs actual usage now that it's registered as a service. Send it!

[nocturne crescent]

Mental CPU @100%

[dusty hazel]

🤣

[steel fjord]

Me again, Ive gotten a second server running on the same ubuntu server but its only accessible from the local network even though the ports are all forwarded from the same rule on my router. Any ideas?

[dusty hazel]

the ports must be differents

if u put 7777 for the first u need to forward another for u second server

[vocal shoal]

assuming you forwarded 7778, and 8889, that should work. however if you're proxying to different ports, you need to use different flags.

[dusty hazel]

that's the issue

u redirect 8888 to 8889

[steel fjord]

really? this all worked when i ran 3 in a windows environment

[vocal shoal]

either use same ports on both sides, or use the other flags that allow changing the port in an external proxy (trying to look them up...)

[dusty hazel]

u need to open a new port not redirect one into the 7777

[hidden forge]

Just to clarify, is this a mapping or a range?

[steel fjord]

its a range, so the first entry is 7777, 7778, and 7779 all get sent to the address

[vocal shoal]

use the -ExternalReliablePort=8890 flag

[steel fjord]

ohhh theres a specific flag for external?

[hidden forge]

Only if it gets remapped on the firewall/somewhere else

[vocal shoal]

i thought that's what the above screenshot was showing, port remapping.

Still not showing up outside, do i have to kill the normal -ReliablePort flag?

[hidden forge]

If it doesn't show at all that's a base port issue, not one with the reliableport

[steel fjord]

hmm ok

[vocal shoal]

my experience is if the main port is not reachable, it doesn't show up, but if the reliablePort isn't reachable, you simply can't properly connect, but you can see the server.

[hidden forge]

No other firewall inbetween?
Can you run the second server manually and look if the log shows anything?

[steel fjord]

yeah so its saying its offline when i use my public ip, and online private

good idea, one sec

[steel fjord]

Same result, online internal offline public

so its gotta be something with the port forwarding

[steel fjord]

and yes no firewall inbetween

just an unmanaged switch

I dont even have ufw installed, so it couldnt be anything on the server side right?

[vocal shoal]

less likely to be something on the server side without ufw, yeah. hmm, your screenshot seems to indicate you might be proxying 7779 to 7777, but it looks like you're starting the server on 7778. unless that's just a typo?

[dusty hazel]

same with 8890 u start the server on 8889

[steel fjord]

the colon signifies a range

[vocal shoal]

oh ok. i'm more familiar with that syntax as inside/outside port, for example when forwarding.

[steel fjord]

its just a 5yo asus router, not suprised the syntax is a little funky

I mean it has to be something to do with the forwarding, same port but inside and out

[dusty hazel]

Why don't u just open new ports and not redirect ?

[unreal lantern]

Anyone have ideas or further diagnostics I could do?

[steel fjord]

like this? same result

[dusty hazel]

if u try to see if the ports are opened with a port scanner ?

[steel fjord]

tffff lmao

like how is it not working

[dusty hazel]

u changed the arguments now that the port is opened ?

[steel fjord]

1908 /bin/sh /home/keith/Satisfactory/Server2/FactoryServer.sh -Port=7778 -ExternalReliablePort=8889 -ReliablePort=8891
└─1916 /home/keith/Satisfactory/Server2/Engine/Binaries/Linux/FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame -Port=7778 -ExternalReliablePort=8889 -ReliablePort=8891

it would time out for the result if the server wasnt running too

[dusty hazel]

the port would be timed out if u turn off the vm

or server

[steel fjord]

yeah so the port checker is seeing it running

but satisfactory says no

[dusty hazel]

yeah so it's not port issue

[steel fjord]

ugh

after setting a static ip im still seeing the dynamic address even though i disabled dhcp

tried this for shits and giggles, the port scanner says open but its still offline outside

[dusty hazel]

sudo ip addr del 192.168.1.144/24 dev ens18

u could do this

but it would reload at every restart

[steel fjord]

dude

fucking instantly worked

[dusty hazel]

^^

so the static ip is not well set

[steel fjord]

so how do i make that permanent

[dusty hazel]

ubuntu or debian ?

change the backup one for no

[steel fjord]

its gone, i love you

you got venmo?

[dusty hazel]

i don't and dw it's fine

[steel fjord]

im IT and it feels like you deserve compensation lol

i know its embarrassing but ive avoided linux like the plague my entire career lol

[dusty hazel]

works in IT too ^^

can't go around it the whole time ahah

[steel fjord]

Ive gone six years without having to touch it lmao, but we recently started using proxmox so im taking the dive

[dusty hazel]

u gonna love it and docker etc

docker is on windows right ?

[steel fjord]

its obviously a learning curve but the resources used are obnoxious

[dusty hazel]

yeah

[steel fjord]

no clue, ive never had to use it in windows

[steel fjord]

Im assuming its a save issue, would you be interested in doing the same action with me hosting your save?

[dusty hazel]

Anyway glad it's workin

[steel fjord]

I got a nonrelated Linux question, cool if i dm you?

[dusty hazel]

do it

[unreal lantern]

Why would that change anything?

[tropic zenith]

Oh my god im gonna go insane here... my blueprints for my server are not showing properly in my game, they're showing blueprints, that are part of a server I don't even recognize in my localappdata%

Game shows some blueprints, but the server "New World" is NOT showing the appropriate blueprints in my PC

[steel fjord]

if its a corrupt save theres nothing to do, if its a server issue then you could rebuild it

[unreal lantern]

That super sucks as we have 110 hours into it

[vocal shoal]

are the ones in the file browser screenshot the correct ones, and the ones in the game GUI screenshot the wrong ones? if so, did you check that you have the same session loaded? also if so, you're blueprints are not lost, as they're still there in the files. they can be loaded into any save.

it really just seem like the game is looking in the wrong place.

[tropic zenith]

at this point im so confused on whats going on, this game feels like it runs on "Fuck you rules"

"oh you thought I was working? Nah im gonna revert tto a older save because you restarted teh server"

ACTUALLY HAPPENED by the way

And why for the name of all taht is holy.. do sometimes, I'll load into my server, I can interact with buttons, i hear ambience, and yet I have infinite loading screen

And ooooh cooooool I load up a 2nd server to test something, my friend tells me, "my character died" on the other server

[steel fjord]

I mean i would just build around the problem area then lol, but once again you wont know until you test

[unreal lantern]

What do you mean test? I have been testing, and we have been limping along avoiding crashes wherever we can but we also dont want to lose this save. Its really odd to me that it doesn't throw any crash logs.

We even spun up a second server and tested the save on that

[tropic zenith]

I dunno man.. there was some bull crap i THOUGHT i solved; long story short, my windows decided to have everything be on my One Drivev Desktop, a feature I DIDNT KNOW WAS ON. and then after i thought i migrated everything back to local, and had blueprints working LAST NIGHT, they decided to stop being connected, today

How in the hell do i even verify the Session Name is accurate, in game

the server status says ONE thing

OH THIS is something else....I made a new blueprint, it APPERS ON MY MAIN pc!!!

Is it possible i screwed shit up, using some sorta consol command to save as a different session name

[vocal shoal]

if that's the case, you should be able to find both saves in the ServerManager in the Manage Saves -> Load Save section in the game

[tropic zenith]

Not pictured there is another listing that i 'loaded' to the server, i dunno the terminology anymore man, the crap's confusing

uploading, loading...

still confuses me why the hell when I makea blueprint on a dedicated server, it saves to my local PC

[vocal shoal]

assuming that's the Load Save tab, yeah, not seeing it. - i would look in the saves directory using the file browser.

[tropic zenith]

Here, better picture

[vocal shoal]

oh, that's a good point. - any chance you're accidentally playing locally instead of on the server? - sometimes it helps to re-create the entry in Server Manager.

[tropic zenith]

Im connecting w/ my Internal IP, with the port forward

my server, the exe is running ojn a different PC

[vocal shoal]

gotcha. hmm.

can you check the files on the server? in the saves dir and blueprints dir?

[tropic zenith]

These are all the files i can see

that are related

ignore the 3rd one though

it hasn't autosaved a new file here

thats what weirds me out

Wait.. could it be because I loaded a save from my MAIN pc, via the game itself ?

[vocal shoal]

as in, you loaded a save file, but from the main load menu instead of the Server Manager load game menu? - yeah, that could be it

[tropic zenith]

As i did it in game, from the Server Manger >

Like, i run the server on my Host PC through bat files

so there's hardly a UI for me to interact with there

[vocal shoal]

as long as it's running and connectable, you only need to interact with it through the game's Server Manager.

[tropic zenith]

Here we go again, loaded a save file, try to join, infinite welcome screen loading

I can press buttosn and everythingh

[vocal shoal]

(other than maybe downloading files directly.)

one of your bat scripts should have some clues as to which directories to look in for save files. that's the thread i would tug on.

oh wait, infinite loading screen? that's a separate issue. and one with a common reason and fix.

[tropic zenith]

Its just doing that false "loading message" nonsense

[dusty hazel]

yeah that's the reliable port

did u opened the 8888 port tcp ?

[tropic zenith]

pretty sure i did that last night yeah 😦

[dusty hazel]

on the right ip ?

can u give me the pub ip in private i'm gonna check it

[vocal shoal]

Ardonos is right, this sounds like you don't have ReliablePort working right yet.

[tropic zenith]

my friend's in the game, i know

its forward to the right IP, 8888 TCP

[dusty hazel]

ur friend is in but u only get the infinite login screen ?

[tropic zenith]

Yes

and 7777 is set to the IP it should be

and both

[dusty hazel]

the server runs on ur computer ?

[tropic zenith]

it runs on a network, connected pc

like 6 feet from me

[dusty hazel]

are u trying to connect with pub or local ip ?

[tropic zenith]

ive tried both, but fairly sure 192.x was what i started with

Ok i got back in game agan

but blueprints still not correct

[vocal shoal]

i would suggest looking at the files on the filesystem on the server, and the machine you're playing on. if it's a headless server use dir to explore the filesystem. you should find .sav files and blueprint files, and it might make a little more sense then?

[tropic zenith]

Again, i dont understand why even when io make a blueprint , a new one, it does not appear on any of the folders in the host PC

but appears on my MAIN pc

[vocal shoal]

i agree that seems strange, which makes me think maybe there's a configuration issue or something. i think looking at the files on the filesystem could help that.

[tropic zenith]

my host PC is windows os

If i kill the CMD window i know to host the server, my friend and I both disconnect

If it was a matter of the server saving to a different folder, fine, I coiuld re-upload my blueprints, but it's not even clear what the BP folder should be named, on the host pc, under the blueprints

[vocal shoal]

i can only tell you where it is on linux servers. it's one dir up, so if the .sav file are in FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server/, the blueprints are in FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/blueprints/

[tropic zenith]

Even in server, i dont see anything saved beyond.... 18 minutes ago

and i save every few minutes

im looking in resMon

Id be more suspicious of that... but only one of those things are taking up more than ... 9%

I think TWO Instances of SatFactory were running, one was under "SYSTEM" and o ne, under my local user name

[vocal shoal]

oh! interesting. maybe one started manually and one by the .bat sript or someting. nice find.

[tropic zenith]

Ignore my silly user name

but you can see, System and "mbeep"

this was after a PC restart too

[vocal shoal]

haha, love it

[tropic zenith]

As much as i try to kill it, it keeps coming back

the only thing I can think of.. was once i tried to use NSSM

fingers crossed i think i fixed it

I fixed it, holy fuck

LOng story short, I tried to fiddle with "NSSM" the other week, and well apparently i never killed/stopped the process, thinking it was fine that i didn't need to do anything

[vocal shoal]

glad you were able to fix it

[tropic zenith]

Sorry for all the venting, but holy fuck, that was an ordeal

[nocturne meteor]

Hello, I can no longer connect to the dedicated server since version 1.1. The server works, it's up to date, steamcmd is up to date too. In the Satisfactory client I can see my server, with the stats, after re-entering the server password. When I start the game there's the usual loading with all the funny sentences below the loading bar, but the loading remains stuck there after about fifty jokes. Connection to the game worked perfectly with version 1.0. Problems with dedicated servers (Unbuntu server)

[nocturne meteor]

Tried to start the old (1.0) save AND create a new world, the server create the new world, but same bug when i launch the game.

[hidden forge]

Please read the patch notes or basically and question in the last few weeks here
#patch-notes message

[nocturne meteor]

Thanks!

[nocturne meteor]

Port 8888 -> the key, thanks @hidden forge

[ripe grove]

Hello, I have some bugs on my server. Before, everything worked fine, but suddenly I always have desyncs and the build menu is empty. I have already restarted my game and the server and tried to load an old save. Can someone please help me?

[vocal shoal]

@ripe grove i have seen this happen on overloaded CPUs. (not necessarily the only reason it can happen.) but basically, if the CPU on the server can't quite keep up, some of the information that would be sent to he client seems to get lost. as you build more and more, it can require more and more CPU and memory.

[ripe grove]

Okay, thank you

[frail light]

Another thing is I’ve heard of an issue where if you’re using the standard reliable port (port 8888) then there can be some cpu issues due to bot scrapers

[fathom solar]

Fwiw, not having cpu issues and still having loads of sync issues. Adjusted ports, both in *bat and *ini file.

[vocal shoal]

could also be a bad internet connection that dropping lots of packets.

[fathom solar]

Nah..

[vocal shoal]

maybe you're right. i watch the logs while i play, and i am seeing a lot of errors, so it could some new bugs. particularly noticing them surrounding using vertical splitters, but that's just speculation.

[formal sable]

Sorry if this has been asked before: Can Satisfactory dedicated server be put behind a reverse-proxy server like nginx (npm)? And does it work for both ports (7777 and 8888) ?

Put antoher way, does satasfactory dedicated server comm with http/https ?

[vocal shoal]

yes, you can run it behind a proxy like nginx. and it'll generate it's own cert, unless you want to give it one.

you do need to user the ExternalReliablePort flag and set it to whatever your external port number is, if it's not the same as the internal one.

[formal sable]

... The point is, the DNS entry must be used to get through to the server, so port-scanning won't really be possible to detect the satisfactory server then ...

alright, I think I can do this.... I will need to set up a "stream" in NPM for the UDP port though (not something I have done before)...

anyone have experience setting this up with NPM (nginx proxy manager)?

[vocal shoal]

i've done a fair amount of nginx, but not through NPM. shouldn't be too hard though.

[hidden forge]

Reverse proxy yes, but not a HTTP/S one
Nginx can do it with a stream config for all ports

[formal sable]

From what I can tell from the screenshot, I would need a https one for 7777 and 8888, and a stream one (UDP) for 7777 .. The TCP ports 7777 and 8888 are working over https, no?

otherwise, just a stream one won't do much (it doesn't protect me from port scanning, which apparently is why my server is crashing all the time)

[frail light]

@formal sable there’s some additional conf required that npm doesn’t support directly. You can edit the conf files generated by NPM but it might revert whenever

#dedicated-servers message

[hidden forge]

while 7777/tcp might be only HTTP/S, 8888/tcp is NOT HTTP/S

if you want to protect your server from unwanted scans, move the secondary port so something else in the ephermal port range, or configure the firewall for specific IPs

[cunning ingot]

Anyone experienced the server just crashing after the 1.1 on start with
Exception was "SIGSEGV: invalid attempt to read memory at address 0x0000000000000000"

[urban kettle]

i have some syncing issues on my server and i cant seem to figure out why. it got syncing issues with milestones, research, foundation etc. all ports should be open

[fathom solar]

I'm seeing these kind of lines in the log when i'm dismantling and stuff ain't 'syncing' :
[2025.07.02-19.54.41:261][462]LogGame: Warning: BP_MaterialEffect_Dismantle_C_2147465491::SetMeshes, This cannot be called after PreStarted.

(no cpu spikes or anything)

[formal sable]

@hidden forge So I am a bit confused, the information shown here: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers seems to indicate that 7777 and 8888 TCP are https ... Is that not correct?

[hidden forge]

no it is not

[formal sable]

I guess the best I can do then (without IP whitelisting) is use a large port number instead of 8888..

I just need one port up in that range, yes? Or do I need a port range?

[hidden forge]

one port

[formal sable]

So for the Satisfactory server, this is the file I need to edit: ./server/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini
... Is that correct?

to change the port... I have to put something in there (like reliableport or something) ? Or do I need to do something else (this is satisfactory running in ubuntu server, and not in docker) ..

[hidden forge]

just pass the -port and/or -reliableport argument

[formal sable]

okay, I think I am almost there... In my systemd unit file (satisfactoryserver.service) I have: ExecStart=/home/satisfactory/server/FactoryServer.sh

can I just pass -reliableport into that (after the FactoryServer.sh) ?

[hidden forge]

yes

[formal sable]

excellent

[hidden forge]

port for the base game port, reliableport for the secondary port

-port=XXXX -reliableport=YYYY

[formal sable]

right, although for the port I should probably leave that at 7777 though, yes?

ExecStart=/home/satisfactory/server/FactoryServer.sh -port=7777 -reliableport=xxxxx

xxxx is just my big port number, and I have that mapped over in my firewall from the public IP address, and I have that opened up in UFW on the ubuntu server...

[hidden forge]

mapped?

same inside as outside?

or different?

[formal sable]

yeah, I have one public IP... yes... Same for both...

[hidden forge]

k, as long as its mapped to the same port, reliableport is fine

[formal sable]

... Thank you for all your help BTW

[hidden forge]

if you have adifferent outside port to the server port you need to use externalreliableport

[formal sable]

I see, so -reliableport for the inside port and -externalreliableport for the outside port

[hidden forge]

no

[formal sable]

oh drat I forgot how to add ports to ubuntu firewall

[hidden forge]

if the firewall maps external port X to internal port X you can skip externalreliableport

if some kind of port remapping happens, mapping external port Y to internal port Z, you need to pass -reliableport=Z -externalreliableport=Y

[formal sable]

I See.. I think I have it..

@hidden forge can you try to connect to my server?

[hidden forge]

no, don't have the game installed

[formal sable]

bummer

[dusty hazel]

i can try

it's good

[formal sable]

its down now

It wont even stay started

I dont think I am passing the arguments properly

I think I need to not have the equals sign

[dusty hazel]

i was able to connect

[formal sable]

nope, that doesnt work either...

@dusty hazel can you please give it a try now again (please)

[dusty hazel]

yes

[formal sable]

... It seems that there was a recent server update ? Or maybe my server files were corrupted (it pulled down a new update it seems)

[dusty hazel]

i'm on

[formal sable]

cool... sec Ill come in too

[formal sable]

What does it mean if you have Player characters on your server and they are titled <Missing String Table Entry>

seems it despawns (and is removed from the map) when I go and kill them

[compact kettle]

yeah interesting 🤣

[thin spruce]

Is there any date on a next dedicated server update ?

[dense tusk]

.

[urban kettle]

i have some syncing issues on my server and i cant seem to figure out why. it got syncing issues with milestones, research, foundation etc. all ports should be open

[wintry path]

Does anyone know a good paid server hoster where you can play smoothly with 30+ mods?

[fathom solar]

You ain't the only one. 😄 Made me quit ... untill a patch gets released.

[glass light]

friend and i have a problem with our private server
my friend hosts it privatly on a pc and we can join the server but then get stuck in the ficsit tip loading screen, we can hear audio and open/close our inventory but thats it just loading

[tropic zenith]

From what I was told, thats a port issue, i think you need to make sure 8888 is fw'd on TCP? i could be wrong on the TCP

Just checked my router, 8888 is at TCP

[glass light]

he changed it in his router and now we can't connect to the server API

[tropic zenith]

Did... did he overwrite the existing one?

1. you need the port you connect to (7777 by default)
2. 8888 on TCP

[glass light]

so udp on 7777 and tcp on 8888?

[tropic zenith]

In my router settings, I have 7777 on "both" and 8888 on TCP

and i also play w/ a friend

[glass light]

okay we trying this now

[cobalt ruin]

how can we update the server i ong frogorr

[tropic zenith]

theres a script generally for it, one sec

assuming you're using a dedicated server that is

[cobalt ruin]

yes i am

[tropic zenith]

you're gonna wanna make a bat file

.\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir <path where server is>  +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

[glass light]

we are back

[tropic zenith]

this also uses steamCmd

[glass light]

thank for your help

[cobalt ruin]

THX ong bess your knowlege

[tropic zenith]

"path where server is" = where the FactoryServer exe is

[frozen carbon]

sup guys! do u have some sort of Server manager ingame commands list?

[subtle remnant]

is there a server outage

[fair saffron]

Hey people help im truing to start a server and when i lunche it it just spits out this mesydge to infinity LogDrones: Error: FGDroneActionFactory::CreateDroneActionFromName - Could not create drone action from FName "None"

im runing the server on home server thr is no satisfactory instoled it wos runing normaly a year a go and yes i deid a full fresh instal of the server

[frozen carbon]

I mean, some automated path u made on one of ur drones ins't possible for x reasons

go check that first

[void basalt]

I'm running into a problem when I try to join a dedicated server. I get a Network Error: Encryption token missing
The dedicated server is running this version of the game:
7/3 5:38:56 PM [Info] LogNetVersion: FactoryGame ++FactoryGame+rel-main-1.1.0-CL-418783, NetCL: 418783, EngineNetworkVersion: 32, GameNetworkVersion: 0 (Checksum: 3190217578)

I'm running based on the main menu screen Version: CL#418783 the same stable version

Does anyone have any tips on debugging this issue? I have tried some normal fixes to no avail such as reinstalling my client.

[dusty hazel]

ur the owner of the server ?

[void basalt]

No I’m using a hosting service. But I’m the admin

[dusty hazel]

was the server working before ?

[void basalt]

I started today

[dusty hazel]

ok can u gimme the ip in private

i think ur host forgot a port or did it wrong something like that

[mild thunder]

that error is common of trying to join the server directly, instead of using the in game server manager

[dusty hazel]

oh didn't though of that

[void basalt]

Oh man i just I tried the in game server manager and it worked! Thanks so much!!!

I just had to set up the game…

[mild thunder]

glad it worked

[fair saffron]

ther is no game save on the server yet the server is fresh not setup yet

[mild thunder]

stop the server if running, then find the serversettings.XXXX.sav for it, and delete it (xxxx-will be the port number), then try restarting it

should reset it

since you had it previously installed

[fair saffron]

i did a clean instal deleted everything and did steam cmd

[dusty hazel]

and the server crashes or won't start ?

[fair saffron]

wont start kep geting rthe drone errors after a while it just clozes

[dusty hazel]

u got mods ?

[fair saffron]

no nothing

[dusty hazel]

how is the bat file u use to run the server ?

[fair saffron]

i instaled steam cmd did the normal comend for instaling and just lunch the server

[mild thunder]

windows or linux?

[fair saffron]

windows 10 bat is the usual unatended

[dusty hazel]

i think theses logs are irrelevant of ur crash

the issue is elsewhere

[fair saffron]

on my main pc it works normaly on windows 11

i just canot start it on home server

[dusty hazel]

what's the spec of the home server ?

[fair saffron]

sam as it wos a year a go when the server worked perfectly

it is not the hardwer for shore

[dusty hazel]

maybe some conflicts with the old install

?

[fair saffron]

i5 4 core 8gb

[mild thunder]

check for this file: "%AppData%\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\ServerSettings.PORT.sav" see if you removed it when you removed the old version

[frozen carbon]

delete, verify files if ur on steam, reinstall

[fair saffron]

you might be on to something i deleted the whole folder right now and will do a clean instal

[mild thunder]

that serversetttings.port.sav was probably the settings from before trying to load a save, would be my guess

[fair saffron]

instoling steam cmd right now

[dusty hazel]

yup u did clean install the factoryserver folder but not the saves in localappdata

[fair saffron]

i hop that is the reason your shorly right on this

iv spend way to much time instaling and deliting everything shud have com on discord sooner

[dusty hazel]

2 or 3 brains are better than 1

[fair saffron]

at this houer mine counts as 0,5 at best

32%

will know soon enough

i realy want this to work my 11 Year old doughter started plaing with me 2 days a go

but we run local so the factory stops when she turns of her pc

this looks god for a bat fille "start FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended -⁠multihome=192.168.1.4 -⁠ServerQueryPort=15800 -⁠BeaconPort=15000 -Port=8000" ?

[dusty hazel]

theses are not needed -⁠ServerQueryPort=15800 -⁠BeaconPort=15000

[fair saffron]

ok im lunching it 🙂

it works

YEyyy Thenk You Verrry Verryyyy Much

🫡

[mild thunder]

yay

[fair saffron]

thx for your imput you got it perfect 🙂

ok off to sleap thx agein

I just setup a server when it says 4 players is that total or 4 at a time??

[dusty hazel]

yeah up to 4 people at a time but u can adjust it if u want

[hollow sigil]

how do i manage a server

like how do i add my singleplayer world to a server hosing thingy

[dusty hazel]

on the manage page of the server u can add singleplayer saves easily

[hollow sigil]

yes but for what is this tab for

how can i make it that my server is always online

[dusty hazel]

u make a server on windows and make it as a service so it's always running or on linux also as a service or u rent a server with an host

[hollow sigil]

how do i make it as a service

i dont understand i only see this

like how do i get the adress or a port from my server

[dusty hazel]

U need to make a server or buy one with an host to get an ip and port otherwise u can't

[hollow sigil]

aha ok

[inner scroll]

very

[proper mirage]

how do I run this on linux, like where do I download the server

[dusty hazel]

with steamcmd

[sour parrot]

Hi hi, got a dedicated server with hosthavoc, Got an issue where i can build fine but my friend builds, i can see him building but he sees the items in that blueprint mode befor eits placed? but he collides with them? Whats the issue?

[sage isle]

current known issue (which I hope devs will fix soon cause me and my friends are waiting). Temporary workaround: relog

[deep turret]

it's basically a do it yourself or rent it thing
coffe stains studio provide the server software, you run it you have it, you dont run it you dont have it
you can decide to run it where and how you want
you can also pay someone else to run it for you (rented server)

once you run it somewhere on some computer, you can know how to connect to it (with the computer network ids)
as long as you also setup the network so it is allowed to connect (port forwarding / firewall rules)

[hollow sigil]

so it is free if i let it run over my computer?

like just for my friends

[deep turret]

I mean yes if you dont count your electricity bill

[compact kettle]

I know it kinda defeats the purpose of a dedicated server in general, but ive been telling my friends whenever they play and we are more than two, I just tell anyone to download the save to their computer and then start it straight from the game (epics servers) and then boom, no sync issues while playing.. then when anyone leaves, anyone can just upload the save back to the dedicated server which coffee stain studios so graciously made easy in the main menu of the game..

[inner scroll]

couple issues with this strat.....on upload it will be an overwrite, not a merge, so if someone does it "wrong" or "waits too long" you'll lose progress etc, also, number of players doesn't matter as long as you're on a D.S. I've been on solo with no friends and the issues persist

not sure what you mean about the "epic servers" that last sentence is kinda broken and I'm not sure what you mean there.

[hollow sigil]

no i dont count that lol

[wind crest]

Good afternoon, I am updating my server from 1.0 to 1.1. I set Port 8888 as requested and opened it on the network. I can log in normally, but my friends get stuck in infinite load. Does anyone know of a solution?

[hidden forge]

Double check the port forwarding and firewall

[wind crest]

I have already checked, everything is correct.

[hidden forge]

Apparently it is not when your friends get stuck

[inner scroll]

this happened when I first started the server....I THINK the problem was they needed to fully close and restart the game....but I can't remember. I just remember it was stupid simple

[wind crest]

I'll try that.

[wind crest]

Unfortunately, that didn't work here.

[inner scroll]

have you tried restarting your server AFTER you port forwarded 8888?

[wind crest]

yes

[inner scroll]

hmm....did you use the standard 7777 port for connection and if not, is everyone on your team using the correct port? also, only because I don't know you....you didn't tell your friends that your IP is 192.168.x.x did you?

[wind crest]

Yes, everyone is using the correct port (7777). I use DDNS as an alias for my IP address.

[inner scroll]

ok....then we can start there.....is it forwarding and updating correctly?

[wind crest]

Yes

[wind crest]

I can even access the server. Normally, only my colleagues get stuck in infinite loading.

[inner scroll]

not sure what kind of dashboard you have available for that service, but check that you are allowing traffic through...not just you

and check for ports in that service too

[wind crest]

It's my own dedicated server, I have full access to it, including physical access, and yes, it allows access to everyone.

[wind crest]

Verified, everything is correct

[inner scroll]

dm me your connection info and I'll look

[hidden forge]

is everything the default port 8888/tcp or did you change it somewhere?

[wind crest]

7777 TPC/UDP 8888TPC

[inner scroll]

as soon as he sends me the connection info...I can do a port scan to see if his Dynamic DNS service is screwing something up

[wind crest]

I appreciate the help, but I have suffered a DDoS attack in the past, and even though this limits what you can do to help me, I prefer not to send the IP address. I am not questioning your intentions; it is just a precaution.

[inner scroll]

fair enough....don't know what to tell you then

[compact kettle]

Im trying to type this while shopping, but im just saying the only solution ive come up with so far (to atleast enjoy some of the game for now) has been using the upload/download save game of the dedicated server, and just host through the natural main menu multi-player game with that save to not have the issues.. but the more I think about it i should just setup a sync thing folder with the regular satisfactory save being synced to my friends and then we dont even need a dedicated server till they fix it? 🤣 🤣

[inner scroll]

ahhh...I see. Yeah, interesting

[compact kettle]

Then maybe try on your phones Hotspot and test joining your server etc.

[eternal plover]

Anyone got time to help me troubleshoot.
I got my own dedicated server running but my friend cant join, keeps getting timed out.

Ive gone through multiple QA posts and reddit post, video and whatnot but nothing is working

I have the server up and running but my friend cant join.

[dusty hazel]

did u opened port 8888 tcp ?

[eternal plover]

I did

[dusty hazel]

and they still get stuck in infinite login screen ?

[dusty hazel]

still having issues ?

[eternal plover]

They put the IP in nothing happens for like 30s then a loading screen pops up for a few seconds then they go back to the main menu with an error

[wind crest]

Yes

[dusty hazel]

i'm gonna send u a link in private it's a port scanner put ur ip and both ports and tell us if both are opened

in private cause i can't post links here

[dusty hazel]

willing to give me the ip so i can check myself ?

[wind crest]

Thanks

[eternal plover]

Give me a sec

[dusty hazel]

ok so both issues are fixed 😄

[hidden forge]

gj, what was the issue?

[dusty hazel]

one had the wrong ip adress cause of a vpn and on the other hand the docker compose.yml was missing an argument for the reliable port

[compact kettle]

Well you can. You just have to put it in a form that web enthusiasts understand and show how pointless it can be to block links using 15 billion dollar valued discords' security measures aye..

For example:

Ht tp : // www. Website. C om

[dusty hazel]

yeah too much effort as i can just dm the link with 2 clicks xD

[tulip jacinth]

Q: After playing for 15 minutes or everything suddenly seems not to complete (level ups or adding platforms). I did a few searches but wasn't sure what to look for? Only resolution seems to be log to main menu and back in.

[dusty hazel]

yeah desync issue dedicated servers do have :/

what's ur cpu usage ?

[tulip jacinth]

Not sure I'll look into that.

It's hosted now.

[dusty hazel]

should be on the management page something like that

[tulip jacinth]

Management page isn't showing it. I'll ask them tomorrow after the holiday.

[compact kettle]

as I mentioned earlier, I think best solution for now is to 'download' the save and play it Locally on your PC and have friends join and just maybe pass around the save file 🤣

[tulip jacinth]

So drop host and just pass the save around until a patch helps. Got it.

[compact kettle]

well unfortunately the only solution till someone fixes the desyncing right.. I was just thinking about setting up using the free sync thing and make the satisfactory *save folder * synced between all friends.. then everyone just gets the save magically and no need for dedicated server

[tulip jacinth]

Thanks for the help. Hopefully it's something being tinkered with soon.

[edgy pasture]

VPN tunnels is still working for my dedicated server without desyncs

[dusty hazel]

yeah i think high cpu usage have a lot to do with desynch

[edgy pasture]

Probably. Or maybe the freakout when non-satisfactory traffic happens.

[dusty hazel]

yeah both are connected

[edgy pasture]

I'm hoping some error handling gets added... but it probably will not be soon, based on the vacation video that was posted on youtube earlier today

Until then, I'm considering networking for this game to be only suitable for a sterile non-internet facing environment.

The fact that networking support over the actual internet is effectively broken... and this didn't even make the list of top issues mentioned in Mikael's video was a bit disappointing.

[dusty hazel]

agreed

[desert notch]

Do you guys know how I can increase the autosave slots in a satisfactory server?

[steep bloom]

CPU on my server never goes over 6 percent and still having dysync issues with servers

[dusty hazel]

it is one of the reasons not the only one

[steep bloom]

any word on them fixes this?

1.0 no issues 1.1 constant issues

[dusty hazel]

how is the server running ?

[dusty hazel]

nope

[desert notch]

It's an indifferent broccoli server

[silent gorge]

Any one having an issue with dedicated servers after 1.1 where things don't happen for the client until after they leave and rejoin? Things I am seeing:
Unlocked items from the hub are not usable
treess don't disappear with chainsaw, make the sounds but stay there
zoop gets stuck with the blue ghosting of an item after you have tried to build it. leave and come back and its built

[tulip jacinth]

Same issue. No solution other then play single player or log out every 15 minutes..

[silent gorge]

😢 dang.. really hope a solution comes... eager to play again

[desert notch]

Yeah happens to me on occasion too

I found that switching to a more performant server greatly decreased the occurrence of the issue

I just played for 12 hours today and only had it happen like 2 times

Whereas on my old server host it was like every 15 minutes

Gravel Host -> Indifferent Broccoli

[tulip jacinth]

Interesting. Maybe I should host it then as I have 5700+32gb+2/2 gb internet.

[tulip jacinth]

Yup. I'm on IB

[desert notch]

Oh dang. Must be a connection thing

Maybe see if they can switch your machine cause like I said, after switching over to them, I hardly ever have the issue anymore

Maybe remake the server with the same save

[fossil moon]

The multiplayer is having a lot of issues since 1.1

it's been fine for me playing 2 player earlygame, but it's so bad on more developed worlds that the game becomes unplayable (as in we'd rather take turns passing the save back and forth to do stuff in singleplayer while the other person watches screen share, because otherwise there are issues like not being able to build blueprints and chain crashing)

[silent gorge]

appreciate the feedback. Guess ill wait for patches. I know its not the server cuz its self hosted and im getting better specs than most hosts would offer.. yall are awesome. 🙂

[edgy pasture]

If you want to try something while you wait for CSS to get back from summer vacation and maybe fix the broken networking...

I'm having a pretty smooth time with my messaging port NOT exposed to the internet, and VPN tunnels built between the server and clients.

It's ridiculous... and shouldn't be necessary... but it does seem to work.

I use Tailscale. But Wireguard, Radmin VPN, or Logmein Hamachi, or other ways to set up a VPN tunnel would work fine.

Also, here's this summary that covers the issue in a little more detail. #dedicated-servers message

[tawny heron]

Yeah I've been having this issue too, it's incredibly difficult to play on a server at all in this state 😅

[fathom solar]

so i caved in and configured the vpn tunnel - dedi works fine now without any desync

[edgy pasture]

Maybe the VPN tunnel approach is easier if you think of it as VPN hypertubes.

[edgy pasture]

Have y’all got any update on this? Is a working fix anywhere near being implemented, or should we just sit tight until after summer vacation is over?

Mikael’s recent vacation announcement video said that some fixes were still slowly being worked on according to a prioritized list… but he didn’t mention anything about the fact that the game is pretty much broken when the server has the new messaging port open to the internet.

From what I’ve seen, those with serious firewall rules and VPN tunnels have been able to play without the CPU lockup or the lightweight buildable desyncs.

Most (not quite all) of the questions in this channel have been about this since the 1.1 update hit release.

[dusty hazel]

look before after port scan and it won't decrease until reboot

[edgy pasture]

Time to sloop that CPU.

[dusty hazel]

i port scanned on purpose but if i don't as i changed the port i don't get scanned server been running for a week with constant 14% usage

[soft eagle]

Can someone who understands dedicated servers help me?

I have Satisfactory on Steam, and I downloaded the dedicated server from Epic to run there.

I configured the ports through the firewall, both inbound and outbound (both UDP and TCP on 7777).

In the router settings, I set the internal IP to receive on port 7777.

And I ran the server through Epic. I tested it on those sites that check if the port is open with the external IP and it worked.

Then I logged into Satisfactory through Steam and tried to add the server with an external IP and port 7777 (it showed as started/online) through the game and transferred the save file.

When I connected, it stayed on the loading screen (listening to the machines running) but it wouldn't go away. I'm stuck on the loading screen, what went wrong?

[edgy pasture]

That is definitely the best “easy” fix.

I’m still interested to see if they’re cooking up anything better than advice to try a less windy port and hope for no port scans.

Hence the ping.

Maybe that’s rude…

But it has been 19 days of mostly people coming in to this channel to ask about this exact issue since the pinned post.

[edgy pasture]

lol… another one

Open TCP 8888 and see if it works

[soft eagle]

should I change them from 7777 to 8888 or just open one more?

[edgy pasture]

Open more

[dusty hazel]

u need to have 3 rules 7777 TCP/UDP and 8888 TCP

[soft eagle]

Should I do the same process in the router settings?

[edgy pasture]

Sure. I don’t think it matters.

Just make sure it’s open to the lan IP that you have your server running on.

[soft eagle]

ok, i'll try. if anything i'll send it here, thanks

[edgy pasture]

If it works, and you have buildable desyncs or crazy high cpu usage after playing for a bit, read this: #dedicated-servers message

[soft eagle]

It worked, I appreciate the help. I hope everyone gains an extra 10 cm wherever they want.

[thin spruce]

Guys, can we check somewhere if some fixes are about to come for servers ?

[silent gorge]

might have to look into that... thank you

Restarting the dedicated server fixes this but when this happens connecting it over LAN or WAN is no longer possible. it just appears to be offline. But the game does actually still run

[dusty hazel]

mmh looks like the reliable port gets some unwanted traffic

[light zephyr]

Ah okay, game can't handle unexpected traffic I guess?

[dusty hazel]

not well

so either change the reliable port for a high one or make some firewall rules to only allow ur friends

[light zephyr]

im guessing the 8888 port?

[dusty hazel]

yeah

[light zephyr]

How would you pass a different port on the client side, the UI only gives one for the 7777 port

[dusty hazel]

put an argument on the server start with -reliableport=

[light zephyr]

Ahh during the handshake it then gets the right one

[dusty hazel]

and forward the new port on the router

yeah no need to specify it client side

[light zephyr]

thank you very much

👍

[dusty hazel]

if u need more assistance feel free to ask

[light zephyr]

Will do, if I run into any other changes that need to be made il likely make a pull request here: https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server

[dusty hazel]

in environment put this -SERVERMESSAGINGPORT=urnewport

and in ports section precise the new port too

[light zephyr]

let's hope this change is enough to keep the game functional for longer than a few hours

[dusty hazel]

should be enough just don't port scan it urself

[light zephyr]

yeah that would be silly

[edgy pasture]

There has been no communication from the devs on the messaging port issues since the top pinned post (that I know of).

I asked for an update… ( #dedicated-servers message )but, per Mikael’s latest YouTube video, the devs are on vacation for the summer, so chances are probably not high for an incoming fix in the near future.

[cobalt leaf]

hello guys, when i got myself a dedicated servert but only 1 player having issues with placing and deleting objects, so when placing foundations for an example it will stay blue and not acually palce and then it will not allow you to delete. what casues this and how to resolve it please?

[edgy pasture]

#dedicated-servers message

Simple fix it’s to try changing the messaging port to something other than 8888.

Better fix is to limit traffic to just the client IP

Break the glass fix is to build vpn tunnels and not forward the messaging port to the internet.

[cobalt leaf]

it been hosted by gportal

port 288800

28800

[edgy pasture]

Probably wait for a patch from CSS, then.

[cobalt leaf]

whjen will that be ?

One might think that multiplayer being broken when the server is exposed to the internet would be a high-ish priority thing to fix…

Not sure we can do anything but wait and use less than ideal workarounds that aren’t really good fixes for internet multiplayer games.

[edgy pasture]

Mikael has said in the past that he is not well-versed in dedicated server stuff.
Either way, I asked for an update.

#dedicated-servers message

Not sure exactly what the protocol is for this kind of thing, but a dev ping seemed fair after 3 weeks of silence on this issue that has been around since the experimental branch times(but got a fresh round of awareness when they pushed it to the stable release branch).

But uh… I think the summer vacation thing is probably not going to help with this.

So… our expectations should be low for a quick and good fix. Maybe we will be surprised. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

or they could put a message in loading screen in bold that says:

" if you hear sound and still see this loading, effing open port 8888 tcp because we were drinking while developing the multiplayer network code, blame snutt"

[spice sand]

I see that I put this in the ini to change the reliable port:

[/Script/ReliableMessaging.ReliableMessagingTCPFactory]
PortRangeBegin=8888
PortRangeLength=512
ExternalPortRangeBegin=-1

I'm trying to set it to a high random port, but when I start the server I dont see that it says what port its using. I see that it uses the main 7777 port, but I dont see a similar message for the reliable port. How am I supposed to know what port its using in that range so I can port forward it?

nvm I just used a bat file to do -ReliablePort=

[ancient moon]

Is it possible to make a dedicated server using a already made save file? Trying to set one up for my friends but it ain't working

[mild thunder]

did you add the secondary allocation to the server?

[trail gull]

yes i did

@mild thunder i have 7777 as primary and 8888 linked to the server

[mild thunder]

what does your startup command look like?

there was a new egg that came out that was updated for 1.1 that made it easier, make sure the primary port is 7777, and that is the one you are connecting to in game via the server manager

[austere star]

hey how do you use cheat commands on a dedicated server

i cant find any info on how to use them anywhere

[silver moss]

Hi! I've got two questions

• Is it currently adviseable/recommended to run a dedicated server? Based on the recent and pinned messages, it seems like there are some issues that are quite impactful on both gameplay experience and hardware usage
• Are there any "benchmarks" regarding how well certain hardware handles X number of players? I've got a 13500 and 128GB RAM, for reference

[edgy pasture]

I’ve been ok with half of a 14 yr old AMD FX 8120 bulldozer with 8GB of ram allocated to the docker container that I’m running my server in for two people up through aluminum. Later game may get sketchy. Idk. I haven’t been to “late game” since update 4 ea. 😂

I think the real answer on the dedicated servers is that they run fine enough if you keep the messaging port NOT exposed to the internet.

Port scans/etc really mess with the sync of buildables and achievements, and might cause stupid-high cpu lockups.

You might can get by with just using a random port and hoping that you don’t get scanned… but an ip filtering firewall or VPN tunnels seem to be solid workarounds too.

My infamous post… in case you haven’t seen it yet.

I can't use Port 8888. Is there any way to host the game server, or did the developers manage to break something that already worked?

[hidden forge]

wdym "you can't use port 8888"?
if you need to change it just use the "-ReliablePort=YYYY" parameter

[wind crest]

I used the parameter, the server refuses to change, and port 8888 is blocked by my ISP.

I tried Docker, Pterodactyl, and directly on the Debian server, but it gets stuck on an infinite loading screen.

[thin jolt]

do yall use public ip or static?

[hidden forge]

thats two different things

[wind crest]

Dynamic IP with DDNS, but this does not interfere with the ports.

The server was online from the first week of 1.0 until the 1.1 update.

And I host servers for other games too, always without any problems.

[thin jolt]

hence the "or" bit :)

[hidden forge]

container images may use different names for new port, please refer to the documentation in this case
but on a pure install it should work. did you pass it correctly?

[wind crest]

Yes, I did everything correctly.

[dusty hazel]

the only issue i found was this line in the docker but he cannot remove it

[hidden forge]

and IP can be public and static, one of the both or none.
what you need depends on your setup, most commonly a public IP

[hidden forge]

who gets stuck? you, your friends or everybody? self hosted or at a provider?

[wind crest]

Everybody, Self Host

[hidden forge]

self host in the same network? connecting with local IP or over external IP?

[wind crest]

The worst thing is that after a few adjustments, and changing port 8888 to 8889 in the Docker Container, it worked for a few hours, then the problem returned

[wind crest]

Same Network, Connecting Over external IP

[hidden forge]

try with internal IP for yourself. if it works, something is wrong with the routers port-forwarding/firewall setup

[tardy crystal]

my problem is that i cant even get the server to start every docker image i use does not install the linux binary

so i get Failed to connect to server api but i have a ping connection in the client

[hidden forge]

firewall enabled?

[tardy crystal]

ive tried to check every firewall, and i have ingress and egress on 7777tcp/udp and 8888 tcp open, and the linux machine doesnt have a firewall enabled

but even through SteamCMD i cant seem to install the FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping

[hidden forge]

the client does not need firewall rules, just the server.
on what are you hosting? which docker images did you try? any output on the console?

[dusty hazel]

do u have enough space in the folder u try to install the server ?

[tardy crystal]

this is all that installs

i used wolveix, thebrocollitree, SteamCMd, and someother on the github

it says it installs

[dusty hazel]

should works fine with wolveix

[tardy crystal]

i more than happy to get on a call if yall wanna see live ive tried for almost 4 days

[hidden forge]

can you tell me the steamCMD command you used?

[tardy crystal]

  +force_install_dir $(pwd) \
  +login anonymous \
  +app_update 1690800 validate \
  +quit

steamcmd +force_install_dir /home/steamcmd/satisfactory +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

was the first one i used

[hidden forge]

yeah, second one seems correct

[tardy crystal]

i tried both

[hidden forge]

and then these files are in /home/steamcmd/satisfactory ?

[tardy crystal]

i get the Sucess! App 1690800 Fully Installed.

yea every file is there but the actual server file

the FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping

i tried on a Docker, my Window machine, and WSL

everything but the binary installs

[dusty hazel]

what do u have if u do this

sudo find / -name "FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping" 2>/dev/null

[tardy crystal]

/mnt/e/$RECYCLE.BIN/S-1-5-21-649839464-2500280957-2405599345-1001/$RATIEGF/Engine/Binaries/Linux/FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping```

[dusty hazel]

the file is in ur recycle bin ^^ in ur E disk

[tardy crystal]

yes but it just also returned this

and im checking the folder itself

[dusty hazel]

and what do u have in the bin ?

[hidden forge]

...

you need the .sh

FactoryServer.sh

in the base directory "satisfactory"

[tardy crystal]

that is there but when you open that its trying to call the FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping which does not exist

[tardy crystal]

not in there

[hidden forge]

run the FactoryServer.sh and show output?

[hidden forge]

congrats, you have a running server

[2025.07.07-21.17.43:178][776]LogServer: Display: Server startup time elapsed and saving/level loading is done, auto-pause is allowed to proceed from now on (if enabled in server settings). WorldTimeSeconds = 30.08

[tardy crystal]

except i dont...

still get the ServerAPi issue

[hidden forge]

thats a network issue then, not a server issue

[tardy crystal]

do you have access to the server files?

on your server can you check if you have that file im looking for

FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping

this is the .sh script

ts trying to find a file that doesnt exist

[dusty hazel]

/home/.../satisfactory-data/gamefiles/Engine/Binaries/Linux/FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping

[hidden forge]

but the file is not missing? cause the server starts?

[tardy crystal]

the file is missing

the server doesnt fully start

[hidden forge]

it does!

[tardy crystal]

even though the logs say otherwise

i cannot connect to it but i get a ping to the server

it says Failed to Connect to Server API

[hidden forge]

what IP do you use to connect to the server?

[tardy crystal]

sent it to you

give it a moment im starting the server up again

okay its up again

[hidden forge]

..if you try to access your server inside wsl with your external IP you have multiple problems

[tardy crystal]

this isnt WSL

this is the original server i was testing on WSL to get the missing file

but i did the same steps on actual server machine

and have the same files and logs

[dusty hazel]

gimme the ip in private

[hidden forge]

ah, k. assumed from the screenshot

[dusty hazel]

is the server running ?

[hidden forge]

first try the internal IP of the server

[tardy crystal]

the server is running on my end

[dusty hazel]

did u changed the basic ports ?

[tardy crystal]

7777 and 8888

[dusty hazel]

both aren't opened

so either they are not opened or the ip is not the good one

[dusty hazel]

so the ip is not right

any vpn running ?

[hidden forge]

whats the output of "ip a" ?

[dusty hazel]

if u do curl -4 ifconfig.me what do u get ?

[tardy crystal]

the ip i sent you guys

[dusty hazel]

if u do curl -4 ifconfig.me in a cmd on ur main computer what do u get ?

[tardy crystal]

not that IP

that isnt running a server though

[dusty hazel]

right give it to me

[tardy crystal]

thats a closed network i know for a fact that it isnt working

[dusty hazel]

i think u put the open port rule on the wrong ip

[tardy crystal]

its a completely different machine and different network interface

[dusty hazel]

PORT STATE SERVICE
7777/tcp filtered cbt
8888/tcp filtered sun-answerbook

firewall is blocking the connection

filtered mean opened but blocked by firewall

[hidden forge]

it was the oracle firewall

[dusty hazel]

so it's good now ?

yeah i see them open ^^

[wide willow]

Hey everyone. I am hosting a satisfactory server on pterodactyl, I have allowed 7777 and 8888 ports and everything is setup correctly. the version is 1.1, but the problem is that sometimes people can't join and it sometimes fails to query the server and it shows up as offline or pending.

[ruby tendon]

Hi everyone,
so ive been running my own dedicated server on windows. its been having the issue that came with using port 8888 where after a while its using 100% CPU. Just wondering how to change it from port 8888

[hidden forge]

"-ReliablePort=XXXX"

[sly juniper]

Has the 100% CPU issue been fixed or identified yet?

[edgy pasture]

No communication that I know of from the devs since the top pinned message.

No mention in the last Mikael video that basically said “see you sometime in August after summer vacation“.

Fairly comprehensive summary of what we know and how to work around it:

#dedicated-servers message

[sly juniper]

Thanks

[edgy pasture]

I attempted to summon some attention via rebellious mischief/rule breaking here

#dedicated-servers message

#dedicated-servers message

all I got for breaking the rules was some nice reactions to my bad pun.

They know the game is broken when the server is exposed to the internet… and obviously don’t have anything to say about it yet.

[light shard]

does anyone have a guide on how to set up a server that works for the current version of the game

like a youtube video or something else

[hoary yacht]

Theres one on youtube that uses steamcmd, that usually works bezt for me, but i havent hosted a server in a while

[light shard]

whats the channel name? @hoary yacht

[fresh pollen]

Is there a best service for buying dedicated servers or no?

[silver moss]

Is it possible to move my local save file (the world that I've just been playing in on my PC) to a dedicated server?

[hidden forge]

Yes, just upload it using the server manager

[solemn sleet]

Hey I need some help with my dedicated server. I have a server running over a ptero panel. Currently only player (mostly so the server keeps running when I'm offline). I've been playing mostly fine up until this evening. Suddenly I get disconnected with the error ÿour connection to the host has been lost) every few minutes. I can join back right away and I end up exactly where I disconnected (so I'm not timing out as I'm not teleported back any part). The screenshot shows what it shows in the output log

these are my server settings from in-game. I only changed the auto pause. Anything else is default

[solemn sleet]

okay so I guess I found some more info: When I disconnected from a discord call with some friends the timeouts stopped. I guess a discord call and connecting to a satisfactory server is too much? or there is some kind of interference?

[wide willow]

Any help pls?

[real wyvern]

Hey guys!
Has anyone found any fixes to the bug referred to here?
https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/68487d286b7c5731963835fe

We are 3 friends playing together, i'm on the only experiencing the issue, but its soooo rough to reconnect through the menu every 3 minutes.

[hidden forge]

what protocol is port 7777 configured? TCP and UDP?

[wide willow]

Both

[edgy pasture]

#dedicated-servers message

[fresh pollen]

?

or like a recommended one

[dusty hazel]

depends on where u live

[desert night]

does anyone know of a good american or texas server provider for the game to rent from

[fresh pollen]

i live in america

[fresh pollen]

is indifferent broccoli good for server hosting

[wraith lantern]

Has anyone used ich777 satisfactory on unraid?

[reef valve]

is there a fix for the foundation/wall placement issues?

[edgy pasture]

No. But you might can work around it. #dedicated-servers message

some details on the non-update of communication on the issue. lol
#dedicated-servers message

[fossil moon]

they seem to be preferred as far as third party hosting goes

[mild cloud]

Can somebody tell me why the mod isn't found on my server?

[lost kite]

please help I have a server that I am trying to run from my laptop but no one else can join it just says Server Name Pending and Not Authenticated

I can join from my PC on the same network but nowhere else

[hidden forge]

Check your port forwarding and that you tell them the right ip

[noble quartz]

Hi all,

I have a dedicated server for me and a few of my friends, and mostly it's smooth, but I do have an issue with the splitters for hypertubes.

When approaching a hypertube branch or junction, you can't change the direction no matter how much you mash E.
You have to go back and forth turning around, spamming E, and then eventually it seems to realize and works.

If you stay in the area, it keeps working, but if you move a bit away, and try again, the issue reoccurs.

[real wyvern]

No matter how many times i read those links, and all the content they link to, i don't see any workarounds i can try. Can you enlighten me?

[edgy pasture]

#dedicated-servers message

Those are the workarounds to try.

Changing the port is simplest.

VPN tunnels is most complicated, but possibly the most effective.

In case that wasn’t clear from the metaphorical poetry

For vpn tunnels, I use Tailscale.

But Wireguard, Radmin VPN, or Logmein Hamachi, or other ways to set up a VPN tunnel would work fine.

If you are not self-hosting, the vpn tunnel thing is probably not feasible.
