[wise badge]

I see there are ubuntu, debian, arch and gentoo commands, so should be fine

smh it's so old th eprocessor won't even show on the benchmark website, might not be strong enough hahah

[wet cedar]

whaaats the processor?

[wise badge]

yeah

Intel Core i5 520M

It's a HP probook 6550b, even has a win7 sticker with code on it lmao

Trie dupgrading hte ram to 8gb but that gave me issues for some reason

Ah found it, just don't see single core performance

There's only 2, so it's probably not high 😅

hm, it's half the speed of the recommended CPU, so probably not going to work

[sly juniper]

You can always check #1201555265942724758 and see if anyone has a public server you can hop in and play.

[wise badge]

Thanks, I have looked around there for a bit, I was just curious how it would work to host one myself, I might join someone else's if I see one that seems interesting

I do have another laptop still, but I would have to undervolt the CPU to stop the overheating, that would probably be a good enough laptop, just needs some love

[fossil moon]

It's 15+ years old and a mobile (low power) variant, so yeah not very good performance

[safe mist]

Hey guys, my friend and I are trying to set up a dedicated server. Our problem is the port forwarding:
For some reason (something to do with DSLite) my friend can‘t forward the same port for different protocols, which is a problem with satisfactory which seems to require UDP and TCP on the same port.

Is there any way to circumvent the need to have both protocols on the same port?

[hidden forge]

you could set up a VPN then. they only require a single port to tunnel traffic

[wet cedar]

if your router is supported, you could try installing openwrt on it

I wana make the next space elevator parts and i dont wana bother making a big building and just a flat foundation
How can i make that foundation look better

[unkempt verge]

Found the issue!
I should be kicked in the nuts for being 50 shades of retarded.
It was a mod… I brought the save game into single player and figured it out.
Appreciate the assist!!

[mystic forum]

Does anybody have a fix for the desync issue when running a dedicated server? Users can’t see foundations or research unlocks

[compact kettle]

Lordy lord haha

[unkempt verge]

lol yeah took me a bit to figure it out
I knew it couldn’t be network related… so started removing a mod at a time

[compact kettle]

Funny enough I have played this game since way way early access update 1 or whatever they called it, and before, and I never once even tried a mod

[edgy pasture]

I’m running my server on an AMD FX 8120, in a docker container limited to half of the fake “cores” on that processor. It is about the same age as your processor, if slightly higher spec on paper (maybe not IRL, as this was the time of AMD looking good on paper, but not actually performing as well)… and it’s doing fine for running a server for 2 people in mid-game so far.

[wise badge]

Nice one, I also have the issue of having only 2GB of RAM though, I've tried upgrading to 8GB, since this processor should be able to handle that, according to the manual on intels website anyway. Checking all the specs and making sure it was the right speed etc. But it did not work in the end somehow. I have a newer model ASUS laptop, which would probably be better suited once I fix heating issues.

[grim nest]

Got a question, i have server installed and its running i can fidn my game but it just sits on loading all day

any ideas how to fix

[wicked knot]

what ports is it using?

[grim nest]

Custom

I have had it working exact setup for over a year. Now it just quit letting me join

[wicked knot]

Sounds like the reliable port issue added with 1.1

[grim nest]

When was that added?

Whats the fix?

[wicked knot]

... with 1.1

it needs a secondary port now, default is 8888 TCP

[grim nest]

Ok is there a line i add id i dont wanna use 8888

Found it TY

Your awesome

[grim nest]

can you help with this?

[dusty hazel]

server on linux ?

[deep turret]

either your client or server machine has wrong set time

you can do timedatectl on Linux machines to check

[dusty hazel]

and if the time in not synch u can do sudo timedatectl set-ntp true

[grim nest]

windows server 2019

[deep turret]

current utc is 9:24

[grim nest]

time is right

[deep turret]

how did you check ?

[grim nest]

date and tiem on windows

[deep turret]

you need to check the server

[grim nest]

just did this on the server

[deep turret]

it's at 9:32 utc currently ?

[grim nest]

432

[deep turret]

you're in gmt -5 ?

[grim nest]

(UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)

[deep turret]

it's 1h off ?

[grim nest]

we have daylight saving time here

[deep turret]

ok then check your client machine

[grim nest]

both are the same

[deep turret]

oh, then it would not even have matter

did you use server manager to connect ?

[grim nest]

yes

cant get this to work

i get the msg i showd when i hit confirm

[dusty hazel]

maybe ur auto cert is set to a notbefore in the futur

or a notafter in the past

[deep turret]

you connect using local host address ?

[grim nest]

im using my server external address

[grim nest]

what can i change

[deep turret]

that's default but should be set for current time

[dusty hazel]

yeah but if the date wasn't synch when he signed it the cert can be bad

[deep turret]

on same machine use your machine ip or local host otherwise it may trigger issues

[grim nest]

im on my pc server is on another pc

sorry game is on one of my 7 servers

[deep turret]

So it's not same

[deep turret]

^

[grim nest]

i ahd it runnign up till 1.1 and now i added the port change and i get this

[deep turret]

you may have mixed it then

[grim nest]

i got my ports open on tcp and udp

but i dont use the default 7777 im usign another

even with the 7777 i tried and get same thing

do i need to put this fingerprint somewhere

[deep turret]

it's only provided for verification

you could save and recheck later for instance

it's security standards

if you are connecting to local server it should be fine anyway

make sure you didn't mix reliable port and main port

[grim nest]

server and my pc are same ip

[deep turret]

you must connect through main port

[dusty hazel]

try to delete the cert and regen one via the server manager

[deep turret]

that can't work if it's not on the same machine

[grim nest]

the default 7777 right

[deep turret]

yea

[grim nest]

yes im using that to connect

i tred the default 7777 and my own i use

start "" /min H:\Satisfactory\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended ?listen-port=26010 -ReliablePort=26013
exit```
is this right for start.bat

[deep turret]

make sure only one server instance is running
and as ardanos said, you can delete cert in between so server recreates it

[dusty hazel]

?listen-port=26010

u missed

the -

with ?

why and don't need listen-port

just -port

[deep turret]

base port is written -Port= now iirc

[dusty hazel]

@echo off
start "" /min H:\Satisfactory\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended -port=26010 -ReliablePort=26013
exit

[deep turret]

case sensitive

[dusty hazel]

isn't

[deep turret]

-Port= not -port

[grim nest]

used that starts the same as i had

[dusty hazel]

it is not on linux i assume it's same on windows idk

start "" /min H:\Satisfactory\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended -Port=26010 -ReliablePort=26013
exit``` try with this one

[deep turret]

it's completely up to the software to decide
usually it's Windows which is not
but better follow documentation strictly ue argument usually are case sensitive here

[grim nest]

i mean it starts and runs just wont do the cert

never had this before

when i try to add server in server manager

can i turn it off

[deep turret]

as Ardanos said earlier you may want to delete cert and let it regenerate (server closed)

[grim nest]

donno how to do that

[deep turret]

you can't its part of the getting reliable connection process

[dusty hazel]

navigate through ur server files maybe in Saved\Config\WindowsServer and look for Cert

[grim nest]

nothing

[deep turret]

I'm sorry I don't remember where cert is
all I know is you want :

• server down
• delete cert
• server up
  step by step
  cert location is probably in wiki

[manic dust]

Hey everyone, i have a little problem, i'm running server in docker, everything works fine but only problem is that when i or someone else wants to connect to the server they get **Server Certification warning ** even tho i have certbot with SSL and Nginx setup correctly from what i can tell. and idea why ?

[hidden forge]

Who can't see the server and how do they try connecting?

[hidden forge]

If you set up nginx correctly as a stream config it can't do the SSL termination so the certificate on nginx is irrelevant. They probably see the self signed certificate integrated in the server.
Either just accept it or copy the certificate from nginx to the dedicated server

[versed oak]

Nobody sees the server; users use direct connect to IP (in-game join), but the server does not respond (offline).
Additionally, I've tried printing the server directly in the Steam browser and received a notice in the server console that the server responds and displays my IP address (connecting from), but nothing happens - the server is not shown in the server browser.
I didn't set configs.

I'm guessing is not starting, maybe I should add Server/Session name to run it?

[hidden forge]

1. You add it via IP in the server manager, right?
2. Is the server hosted locally? Does local IP work?
3. How do I have to interpret the screenshot?

[versed oak]

Server is separate machine with external IP address, all the containers have internal IPs visible to the router (DHCP), firewall have dnat translateion.

1. I've added IP + ports (combination) in steam browser, and my college try to connect it via game directly IP + ports (7777/8888) as a test - wasn't able to connect
2. Server hosted on dedicated machine with different IP (like hosting) - other connections working (can connect server from outside)
3. list ports open for incoming traffic - connection from internet pointing to the specific container local IP (it is a prof as configuration is working on router - redirect)

Other games servers works, so there is no issue on network configuration, I'm guessing satisfactory server have problem to start.

[hidden forge]

1. Everybody needs to add and join via server manager
2. Can you try joining with an internal IP?
3. If I understand line 21 correctly external port 17/UDP is mapped to internal port 7777/UDP? If so, 17 TCP & UDP needs to point toward 7777 and you must set the parameter "-ExternalReliablePort=6" for port 6/TCP - > 8888/TCP to work

[versed oak]

1. Yes they do
2. No it is only terminal not gui - screenshot
3. port 6 is a type port pointing to TCP so TCP == 6 nad UDP == 17, so the redirections are:

• Incoming to port 7777 from internet/outside to internal IP Address on the same port 7777 for UDP/TCP (2 different rules)
• Incoming to port 8888 from internet/outside to internal IP Address on the same port 8888 for UDP only
  so on screen with netstat command you will assume satisfactory server will listen on 7777 UDP and TCP ports and on 8888 UDP port,
  from screen firewall table from router (white one) you will assume ports are open and redirected to internal IP where is container with satisfactory server

I mean ports are one to one, on external and internal they are same 7777 and 8888

[hidden forge]

8888 should be TCP

[versed oak]

this is the dump from system how the satisfactory is listen (wainting for connection from outside):
sudo netstat -4lnp | grep FactoryServer tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:7777 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5458/FactoryServer- tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8888 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5458/FactoryServer- udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:7777 0.0.0.0:* 5458/FactoryServer-

so the server app is request the ports open as it is

and this is whole connection for listening (providing service) and connecting directly to satisfactory master server:

[sudo] password for nerus:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8888            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      327/FactoryServer-L
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:7777            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      327/FactoryServer-L
tcp       25      0 10.0.2.170:38162        172.67.74.152:443       CLOSE_WAIT  327/FactoryServer-L
tcp        0      0 10.0.2.170:49306        35.227.230.186:443      ESTABLISHED 327/FactoryServer-L
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:7777            0.0.0.0:*                           327/FactoryServer-L```

[hidden forge]

Yeah, seems correct. 7777 TCP & UDP, 8888 TCP

[versed oak]

there is a problem with SF dedicated server it is not started or not connected to the master server

[hidden forge]

There is no master server

[versed oak]

as you can see I have some problems to receive SSL connection as HTTP request

[hidden forge]

Any proxy inbetween?

[versed oak]

This is cloudflare 172.67.74.152:443, where the SF server wants to get a connection
Google Cloud Platform 35.227.230.186:443, where the SF server wants to get a connection

Pure direct connections, no proxy at all.

This can drop connection cloudflare 172.67.74.152:443
or this Google Cloud Platform 35.227.230.186:443

so the problem is to connect and authorise server on satisfactory services

[hidden forge]

Might be some UE stuff but that shouldn't matter

[versed oak]

maybe

I will download client/game i try myself

[hidden forge]

If you connect to https://<External-IP>:7777 using a browser, does it display anything or time out?

[versed oak]

sure

[hidden forge]

Good, that is expected

Then if players see the server as offline something is wrong with the 7777/UDP forwarding

[versed oak]

I will check myself

shit, it needed to be initialized by the first player it is connecting to it?! - didn't know about it.

I have no Idea why they cannot connect to it

[hidden forge]

Ah yeah, it needs to be claimed and a world created/loaded the first time

[versed oak]

I will have next question, how to configure server, i have list of files

there is a loot config files, where i can find list of variables that i can use to fully configure it?

should I create new config file to not have overwritten by update of server?

[hidden forge]

There is no true list. You might find snippets here in the discord and on some wikis

[versed oak]

yeah this is still problem of UE servers, no documentation no generated variables with default values on server start

[fair storm]

Hello all 👋
My server keeps crashing every 10/15 minutes with the following errors:
invalid attempt to write memory at address

Assertion failed: FloatValue >= double(TNumericLimits<int32>::Lowest()) && FloatValue <= double(TNumericLimits<int32>::Max()) [File:Runtime/Core/Public\Math/UnrealMathUtility.h] [Line: 2622]

This is apparently also happening when I launch the save locally. Any clues?

[hidden forge]

Any mods installed?

[fair storm]

Nope, fully vanilla here

[hidden forge]

Other saves work?

[fair storm]

Worked like a charm before, but it's been happening for 2 days now

Trying this, good call

[hidden forge]

Might be an invalid building, especially if you used blueprints

[versed oak]

Check free space on disks, dumb but some times helping...

[fair storm]

Ah yes might be, currently waiting until it crashes (or not 🤞)

Yes, I checked this, and I still have 20Go to go

Still crashing with an older save, but also looks like this: #dedicated-servers message

Except I run it using the Pterodactyl panel, looks like a tiny bit different usage here

[versed oak]

@hidden forge why my fend can't initialize game server as a first client?
it is filtering connections?

[hidden forge]

VM/VPS? What's the CPU model?

[hidden forge]

Server does not filter. A non working UDP forwarding might prevent it

[fair storm]

That's a VPS, with a 32g AMD EPYC 7543P

[versed oak]

Yeah, he was block by my router because he start sniff my ports 😛
So now he have connection

but we have another problem, we stuck on loading screen:

[hidden forge]

Port 8888 is blocked

[versed oak]

yes, yo was right should be TCP insetead of UDP

my mistake

[radiant wren]

how works dedicated servers?

[versed oak]

Headless - without UI only in terminal, so your CPU not needed to focus on serving information to others additionally it is not needed to have game working 24h on your PC, clients can join server wherever they want

[radiant wren]

ooo nice

[versed oak]

@hidden forge sorry for pointing you, I wish to finish topic.

starting params: screen -h 1024 -dmS satisfactory.service /srv/servers/satisfactory/FactoryServer.sh -ServerQueryPort=15000 -BeaconPort=15001 -Port=15002 -log -DisablePacketRouting -unattended

This is how server listen now on:
``tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:15002 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1814/FactoryServer-
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8888 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1814/FactoryServer-
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:15002 0.0.0.0:* 1814/FactoryServer-```

how to set up the port to change 8888 ?

[hidden forge]

ServerQuery- and BeaconPort are no more. -Port is for the base port, -ReliablePort for the secondary port.

[wicked knot]

all of that is outdated ancient info, 100% wrong for the current version

[versed oak]

[wicked knot]

there is, but it isnt fandom. Fandom is no linger suported

You put this info into a .BAT file in the folder that contains the factory server executable, then you can right-click drag to your desktop as a shortcut and change the icon(right-click, settings) and run it from there

[versed oak]

Thank you for your effort but I'm using Linux daemon units as a services, so it will not be helpful.

then make a batch file the same way

I keep having issues where people go and make a blueprint and the blueprint doesnt show up until people relog or where people go to build something and the blue hologram stays for the person who placed it until he relogs. How do I fix this?

[autumn hinge]

We have the same issue with our 3 player server.....At times just the blue stays and I have to log out/in. Other times, it won't even let me access the build menu.

[stray gale]

Any idea why this happens? Only when I try to join a save there is no error on the server

Still experiencing the same issue

[wicked knot]

if it still says 20 seconds, you didnt apply the edit correctly, or you edited while the server was running. It should reflect whatever value you entered

[teal folio]

having an issue with my dedicated server. its hosted on a completely remote server that i use for my other game servers. im able to access it completely fine. again, completely remote server from me - port forwarding and firewall is not an issue here.

the friend im trying to play with can't. she just gets "The server appears to be offline.".
- removing and readding it doesn't help.
- my server logs report LogNet: NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from: <her ip> repeatedly whenever she tries checking it.
- she can access the https://ip:port in her browser and gets the expected result. her client just, doesn't work.

as a last ditch effort i tried to change the server port from the default 7777 to 10010. and... it suddenly started working for her! and then i had to restart the server to apply a config change and now its back to not working.

im at my wits end here. any ideas on how to resolve this?

[velvet badge]

anyone know a solution for this?

[edgy pasture]

Maybe.

#dedicated-servers message

I haven’t had any lightweight buildable system or milestone desyncs, and I’m using VPN tunnels instead of opening the reliable messaging port to the internet.

It’s a heavy handed workaround… but it does work.

You can improve the situation by changing the reliable messaging port to something less commonly scanned like a random 50000 something… probably fix it for sure by messing with ip-filtering firewall rules or messing with setting up VPN tunnels.

[velvet badge]

A vpn would make it more reliable? Doesn't that mean to connect you have to setup the VPN with all of your friends/users and then all of their web traffic goes through your local network while they're connected?

[surreal smelt]

you can use split tunneling

[strange musk]

tailscale is a pretty easy vpn to set up and add users to

it uses
wireguard

[dusty hazel]

still having the issue ?

[heavy sorrel]

Anything to fix this client desync other than logging. Have to jump out nearly every time I go bush cutting or launch a milestone is getting really old.

[edgy pasture]

#dedicated-servers message

[edgy pasture]

Yes, a split vpn setup is the way to go. I use Tailscale.

Radmin VPN is also pretty user friendly.

If you try it, don’t forget to remove the port forwarding for the reliable messaging port on your router.

[velvet badge]

maybe Im understanding this wrong but isnt split tunneling something thats done on the user's side not on the server side?

[edgy pasture]

You need both.

[velvet badge]

well yeah you need the vpn endpoint on the server but no server side "split tunneling"

[edgy pasture]

Correct

[velvet badge]

you could also just use wireguard directly

[edgy pasture]

Totally.
It’s just a bit more of a pain to set up without the Tailscale wizardry on top

[velvet badge]

Ill have to check out tailscale but right now I have wg-easy for personal vpn to home

is all

[edgy pasture]

I move around a lot, and Tailscale makes it pretty seamless, even with shifting public IP’s.

[velvet badge]

does tailscale have a way to only expose the satisfactory server port to users on the vpn? I dont need users getting access to my entire home network

[edgy pasture]

I do not know.

I think it might… but I do not personally know.

There is more configuration and control on access restrictions that I haven’t really bothered to learn.

I totally understand not liking the idea of punching holes into your network from every client.

It is far from ideal

I was really hoping they would add some error handling to keep the game from freaking out when random internet port scans hit the messaging port… but, here we are, months later, that probably isn’t happening any time soon.

[strange musk]

Yea I just said tailscale because its super super easy to set up

[velvet badge]

is that really the issue?

[edgy pasture]

I think so

[velvet badge]

seems like it would be easy to handle

[edgy pasture]

It seems to behave much better when the messaging port is not exposed to the internet.

[buoyant dune]

does it fix "all" desync issues or are some still happening with port closed?

[edgy pasture]

I haven’t had any trouble. I will put it that way.

[velvet badge]

yeah whats actually the downside of just closing the messaging port? no more in game text messages?

[edgy pasture]

No more in game multiplayer is the main one

lol

[velvet badge]

ah okay

[edgy pasture]

They moved achievements and lots of the building system to the new port.

So… it’s necessary for progression and building stuff

And if it is closed, you get the infinite loading screen on trying to join a server

So… not exposing it to the internet… and still providing access via a VPN tunnel… seems to work.

Plenty of folks here have tested scanning the port themselves and watching the server freak out.

High CPU usage… sync problems… log spam

Whitelisting an IP for traffic on that port on a firewall should also be effective.

[velvet badge]

idk if I can do that on my router

[edgy pasture]

Yeah. Sometimes it do be like that

[velvet badge]

Ill do the port change to 50k and see if that helps

just to start

I dont want my users to have required work

especially when trying to convince some of them to change text in their config files is a tough sell

too much work for some

[heavy sorrel]

@edgy pasture Ah ok so the server just can't handle packets that don't belong to it. Ok using a host so its not on the base port but I'm guessing it is getting hit with random traffic. So wait for coffee stain to decide to harden their software

[edgy pasture]

Probably

[edgy pasture]

I believe the server startup argument of -reliableport=xxxx should do the trick

[teal folio]

haven't tried yet today but I'm assuming so

[dusty hazel]

how are u starting the server ?

[heavy sorrel]

Heh so I really need to do my PC upgrade so I can repurpose the current CPU/mb as a server box and just private host my stuff

[teal folio]

systemd, basically the exact config from the wiki except with an added port arg

[dusty hazel]

and is the server listening to the good port when u start it ?

[teal folio]

yup. i can connect perfectly fine

[velvet badge]

how do you add startup arguments to your server?
Also does the server communicate the messaging port to the client whenever the user connects to the game port?

[dusty hazel]

and what is the issue then ?

[dusty hazel]

linux or windows ?

and yes the server tell the client the reliableport

[velvet badge]

linux, truenas scale

so its running a docker container

[dusty hazel]

then u can make a bash file

oh

with wolveix image ?

[velvet badge]

yes

[tame shuttle]

Hello server owners, is there any discord bot I can connect to a Satisfactory server?

[dusty hazel]

then in the env section of ur docker compose just add -MESSAGINGPORT=xxxx

[velvet badge]

hmm okay Ill see if this works.

wait nvm theres already a section to input the port

I meant how does the user know the messaging port changed

[dusty hazel]

the server pass it to the user via the port

u don't nned to tell the reliable port the the user

[velvet badge]

user connects to -> ip:game_port (0.0.0.0:7777) -> communicates the messaging port?

[dusty hazel]

yep

only the server needs to know it if u changed the default value

otherwise the server assume it's 8888 and pass this one without any arg

[compact kettle]

curious minds want to know, what software/method will you use to private host your stuff?

[dusty hazel]

and what is the issue then ?

[dark sparrow]

hello, Im reaching out to ask about an issue I have when anyone including myself tries to connect to my dedicated server, we are stuck on the inital loading screen and we are able to move are charcters heads but we can actually play beyond that, NOTE: havent played in a while since december of last year so if there is something new im missing id like to knwo

[mild thunder]

sounds like you are missing the secondary port that was added in 1.1, it defaults to 8888

[dark sparrow]

That worked thank you very much

[vernal escarp]

hello lads, what should I do when port forwarding in my router? put my external IP and 7777 port?

or is it my internal?

[teal folio]

i can connect, but my friend cannot. i described it in my initial post

[teal folio]

.

[hidden forge]

Your internal.
Don't forget to forward port 8888/TCP

[vernal escarp]

very well, also, people couldnt join my server even tho I gave them my external IP

[hidden forge]

Did you successfully host something else before?

[vernal escarp]

oh ah

minecraft when I was 12 xxd (14 years ago)

thru hamachi

[dusty hazel]

do u connect with ur local ip or public ip ?

[teal folio]

same result both ways

[dusty hazel]

are u willing to provide me the ip in private so i can check ?

[teal folio]

sure gimme a sec

dmed but also like, it might just work for you, since it works for me but not my friend

[hidden forge]

Did the server appear as offline or did they get stuck the loading screen?

[vernal escarp]

Offline

[dusty hazel]

check if ur ports are well opened

[hidden forge]

First step would be to make sure your IP is actually public. Post or PM me the first half of your IP if you don't know how to check.
Then check your port forwarding. You need 7777/UDP, 7777/TCP and 8888/TCP by default. Post a screenshot if you are not sure so we can check

[wicked knot]

your external/public IP IS the router. If it asks for one, its the server machines that it wants

[shell portal]

i have a server i can join but when i use a service to check if the server is up it doesnt show it online

so not public online its online to the network

i have done everything i have port forwarded all the ports manual and through power shell. i opened 8888 for tcp traffic someone help please

so i think the public ip is not working correct

[hidden forge]

You sure it's actually a public IP?

[wicked knot]

Need to open those ports thru the router/gateway UI

[shell portal]

i have port forwarded on my router

tripple checked

[wicked knot]

powershell is a windows tool, shouldnt talk to the router at all

[shell portal]

is there something i'm missing? maybe

i followed the wiki instructions to a T

[hidden forge]

Which wiki? And what part of it?

[shell portal]

https://satisf actory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[shell portal]

i had a friend try the game and he just cant load into the world it just sits in the loading screen

[dusty hazel]

u missed the 8888 TCP port

[shell portal]

i got that aswell

[wicked knot]

Get the make and model of your router, google that for the address to access its UI, and how to port forward thru it

[shell portal]

i followed the exact wiki instrucions

[wicked knot]

that all happens in a browser window, not in powershell

[shell portal]

i used a linksys router and understand how to port forward

i used to be a network tech

its something silly i know it

[wicked knot]

that hang is fairly indicative of the secondary port not being open

[dusty hazel]

make separates rules

sometimes if u make one rule for all the ports they all get tagged as primary

[shell portal]

so you think its mainly the 8888 port

i'll see if i missed something

[dusty hazel]

infinite login screen is 8888 TCP port yes

if u can hear and move around while in that screen

[hidden forge]

^

[shell portal]

it worked!!

Thanks guys i guess i missed adding the rule through the firewall XD i did th 7777 rule twice

[dusty hazel]

^^

[opal python]

hey guys!
is it possible to run a satis server without the second open port (8888) ?

[dusty hazel]

why wouldn't u want to open it ?

the answer is yes u can by using vpn tunnel

[opal python]

uh, tricky situation i am not on a dedicated server, but on a server host

[hidden forge]

no*

[opal python]

ok thx, then i will try to get a second port xD

[dusty hazel]

then ask the host to open a second port

if u bought their services they should provide it

[hidden forge]

server needs both but as ardanos said you can hide both behind a vpn useing a single port

[dusty hazel]

addanos 😢

[hidden forge]

sry 😅

[dusty hazel]

adanos 😢

xDDD

[opal python]

yeah i will try that thx

btw is the "Beacon Port" the new port?

[dusty hazel]

tell them since 1.1 2 ports need to be open 7777 TCP/UDP and 8888 TCP they can change them with start arguments such as -Port=xxxx and -ReliablePort=xxxx

[dusty hazel]

old one not used anymore

queryport isn't used anymore too

[opal python]

oh where can i change the ports?

[dusty hazel]

u can't the host must change them

[opal python]

is there no way to change it in the files?

[dusty hazel]

and add theses rules to start the server -Port=xxxx and -ReliablePort=xxxx with xxxx is the port they open

no

if they don't open it for u, u can't do anything

[opal python]

so they would have to change this (atm the startup cmd):
./Engine/Binaries/Linux/*-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame ?listen -Port=xxxx -ServerQueryPort=xxxx -BeaconPort=xxxx -multihome=0.0.0.0 $(if false; then echo "-DisableSeasonalEvents"; fi)

to this:
./Engine/Binaries/Linux/*-Linux-Shipping FactoryGame ?listen -Port=xxxx and -ReliablePort=xxxx -multihome=0.0.0.0 $(if false; then echo "-DisableSeasonalEvents"; fi)

right?

[dusty hazel]

exactly but they should know how to change those ports

[opal python]

okk

[errant sorrel]

Hey guys any where I can look up a good setup guide?

My cusin wanted to play on my server I hosted before the 1.1 update. I laughed and said I needed to update it but sure.

So went home updated it, but it wouldnt work, my laptop said disconnected. And when I used the same computer as the DS it still said it.

I went looking for what files needed to be changed, would only find bits every where so I tired the ones that made since.

Well still didn't work so I Uninstalled and here I am

Nvmd I found the link

I will ask for help I need it thanks in advance

[mild thunder]

if your reading a guide older than 2 months old, it is probably outdated on the ports as the servers now use Port 7777 and ReliablePort 8888 as the default ports. So watch out for that, and check out the wiki for more information.

[sacred socket]

I got my dedicated server back up and running, only issue is when I try to load into the server it just loads infinitely

1.1 vanilla, I've tried reinstalling and creating new worlds already

[dusty hazel]

u need to open a new port the 8888 TCP on top of 7777 TCP/UDP

[sacred socket]

Is that even if I run it with a different TCP/UDP port?

[dusty hazel]

wdym ?

[sacred socket]

Instead of 7777 I've always used a different port

[dusty hazel]

oh yeah no problems u can change the port

7777 and 8888 are default

[sacred socket]

Ah, is there a way to change 8888 as well? I just have it set to a different port in the satisfactory.service file

[dusty hazel]

linux or windows ?

[sacred socket]

Linux

[dusty hazel]

change ur .sh file and add -ReliablePort=xxxx

[sacred socket]

Awesome, thanks

I just don't like running standard ports because I know at least with minecraft if the server is up long enough it'll start getting random pings

[dusty hazel]

ur even more right with this reliable port make it in the 50000 range to not be annoyed

[sacred socket]

Yeah I have my other port in the 50000 range too lol

[grim mica]

Doesnt really matter honestly.. a proper port scan will scan every port.. Sure if its above 1024 it may be 'probed' less, but 7777/8888 are high enough anyway

[sacred socket]

But the reliable port forwarding thing was the issue

[dusty hazel]

they are not anything under 10000 is scanned by almost any port scanner

[grim mica]

Why 10000? What is considerd 'root' ports will religiously scan 1-1024 but ive never heard of scanning 'up to' 10k

[sacred socket]

For me it's just another thing to feel better about port forwarding + it means my ports are consistent across all my game servers since I only really run one at a time

Easier to remember

[dusty hazel]

cause there is a lot of common ports up until the 10000k range going over that would be wasted time

[sacred socket]

Also that high up it basically never touches anything else that it might interfere with for some reason

[grim mica]

I mean.. if you are scanning 1-10k.. might as well just scan the others?

[dusty hazel]

1-10k is not the same a 1-65000

[grim mica]

Well, considering windows dynamic port pool is 49152-65535.. not really?

[sacred socket]

Does it have to be in the sh file or can it be in the .service file

[dusty hazel]

depends if u start ur server with the .sh file or not

[sacred socket]

I do but my other port change is in the .service file

[dusty hazel]

u can change both to make sure anyway

[sacred socket]

Do I just put it at the end of the .sh file?

[dusty hazel]

UE_TRUE_SCRIPT_NAME=$(echo "$0" | xargs readlink -f)
UE_PROJECT_ROOT=$(dirname "$UE_TRUE_SCRIPT_NAME")
chmod +x "$UE_PROJECT_ROOT/Engine/Binaries/Linux/FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping"
"$UE_PROJECT_ROOT/Engine/Binaries/Linux/FactoryServer-Linux-Shipping" FactoryGame -Port=xxxx -ReliablePort=xxxx -log "$@"```

[sacred socket]

Do I need to do anything on the client side in order to connect after changing that port?

[dusty hazel]

no the base port is the only thing needed the port pass the reliable port to the client

[sacred socket]

Ok because it works on default but breaks when it's changed

[dusty hazel]

how ?

[sacred socket]

Same infinite loading

The port is forwarded

[dusty hazel]

TCP only ?

[sacred socket]

Well, not forwarded since I'm on the same network but on the host pc I'm allowing TCP and UDP through the firewall

[dusty hazel]

it needs to be forwarded fw only is not enough

[sacred socket]

It works fine if I'm on the same network, I don't have 8888 forwarded either

[dusty hazel]

if u do
sudo ss -tulnp | grep Factory
what do u get ?

[sacred socket]

On the client or host pc

[dusty hazel]

yeah right

host pc

should have 3 lines

0.0.0.0:ports

[sacred socket]

Didn't give anything

[dusty hazel]

server is running ?

[sacred socket]

In the client it says game ongoing

Oh wait

I forgot to restart the service

[sacred socket]

It has 2 lines

[dusty hazel]

i guess base port tcp/udp

[sacred socket]

Yep

Oh now it has 3

I guess it wasn't fully started

[dusty hazel]

might be

still infinite login screen ?

[sacred socket]

Let me try

Seems like it yeah

If the reliableport isn't 8888 it won't load

[dusty hazel]

did u start the server with the .sh ?

or with systemctl ?

[sacred socket]

Systemctl

But I have the port in .sh

[dusty hazel]

can u check ur .sh again ?

[sacred socket]

The systemctl just starts the .sh

[sacred socket]

Yeah I've been editing the .sh exclusively because if I edit the .service I need to do the daemon-reload and it's annoying

[dusty hazel]

yeah right is it still the same or have it reset ?

[sacred socket]

Right now I have it configuring the base port but the reliable port is at default

[dusty hazel]

if u use ur local ip to connect u should be able to change the port just fine and ur friends will be able to connect with ur pub when u open the port

i don't know if what i said is understandable english is not my best

[sacred socket]

Yeah

I'm using the local IP and when I configure the reliable port it does the infinite loading thing

On the base port it's fine

[dusty hazel]

mmmh weird u add the right fw rule ?

[sacred socket]

Yeah

In the firewall the ports I want are allowed through

[sacred socket]

So it's not a firewall issue I guess

Even with the FW disabled it still loads infinitely

[dusty hazel]

i mean even without port forward u should be able to load just fine

but

maybe only with base ports ?

idk

[sacred socket]

On the wiki.gg it says as of 1.1 8888 is required to be used

[dusty hazel]

yeah the new port but u can change it's value 8888 is just default

[sacred socket]

Ig not for me at least so for now I'll use the default port

[dusty hazel]

open the port on ur router when u can and test if it works

[sacred socket]

Ok so it just loaded

It took forever though

I guess if I don't move my mouse it doesn't load

Really strange

[foggy pewter]

Does anyone here happen to know where the game gets the certificate fingerprint from? It's not the same as the one reported by the browser which makes no sense to me.

[dusty hazel]

it is autosigned

[foggy pewter]

I know but what I'm talking about is if you go to https://localhost:7777 in your browser and look at the SHA-256 certificate fingerprint it doesn't match the one the game shows you when connecting to the server (even accounting for the different hex/base64 encoding)

[sacred socket]

Try localhost:8888

[compact kettle]

Thats how fast it is to do a full 65535 port scan

Well, in my opinion, yes it's pointless whether the port is high or low, or above 1000 or 10,000..

[wicked knot]

if they scan 10m IP addresses for open ports, they will spend more time, and any unsecured ones will be open on lower ports. If lower ports dont hit, higher ports probably wont either

[crisp wing]

Hey there, new player here. Before setting up a dedicated server I wanted to know if they are stable or if there are any game breaking major bugs. or other issues

[ornate kite]

Hey guys, does someone know how to fix this?
In version 1.0 of Satisfactory with dedicated servers, my factories made progress overnight (even when nobody was online), but now in version 1.1, they produce nothing during the night.

[small citrus]

Pretty stable if you know how to configure it and have a decent server. No known major bugs, but instabilities through high uptime. The server will need regular restarts

[small citrus]

Auto pause is off by default, you can turn it on again in the server manager

[ornate kite]

ohh thank you

[crisp wing]

Thanks for the response, glad to hear that it runs good if configured correctly

[slate relic]

Hi guys, I'm currently trying to run a dedicated server (game version 1.1) on my Linux VPS and everything until now works great. but i realized there is no saving files... Seems to be like using my PC or SteamCloudStorage to save the game and thats doesn't allow me to import blueprints...

The steps i followed to setup the server was installing the steamcmd and instaling the satisfactory server, going to the game claiming the server and loading my world to the server...

Can someone help me to see how can i make the server save the files on the server it self and let me import blueprints there?

[small citrus]

/home/user/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved ?

In your user’s home ?

There Is a SavedGames folders containing a blueprints folder. I think it is what you need @slate relic

[slate relic]

thats what i have on the server folder

[small citrus]

No no no

This Is the server’s files

You wont find your save here

Go in /home/satisfactory

List hidden folders and files

Go to .config

[slate relic]

Aha I found it

[small citrus]

Nice 😉

I never tried importing blueprints like this but its gon a world

World

[slate relic]

I'm gonna try and see if it works

So I went to the server create a new blueprint so it generates the folder for me

but... there is not blueprint folder

Never mind i didn't reload the fpt thing 🤣

@small citrus it worked Ty so much ❤️

[small citrus]

You’re welcome man ! Happy gaming

[terse mirage]

"LogEQS: Warning: Query EQS_FindNearbyRoamingLocation (Owner: Char_SpaceRabbit_C_2147455334) has finished in 62.64 ms, exceeding the configured limit of 25.00 ms. Execution details: Total Execution Time: 62.64 ms (detailed data not available without USE_EQS_DEBUGGER)" is this anything to worry about?

its being spammed in the console

[sacred socket]

Doesn't it automatically restart once per day by default?

[small citrus]

Yeah it does but from my experience, 3-4h uptime is the threshold for the rollbacks/decreasing tickrate to start. There is no options for a "every 3 hours" restart

[sacred socket]

Ah

[small citrus]

And also, i setup a script to restart the server via the dedicated server api but its not as effecient as a systemctl stop / start

I think the memory is filled with junk, that can't be removed otherwise than a full restart from the service itself...

I'm still thinking about a solution to this problem but the obvious is for the devs to add a restart "interval" configuration

And still, i don't think it will be enough

If you wanna check : https://github.com/ronanly56/satisfactory_dedicated_server_utils

[sacred socket]

Could it possibly be a memory leak then?

[small citrus]

I don't really know... I'm used to java programming but i don't know UE

[sacred socket]

Also I've never noticed decreasing tickrate on my servers, and I do once every 24hr restarts, although I do also have an absurd amount of memory allocated to my server

[small citrus]

The crazy part is those CPU spikes

After 4h uptime i have 90% CPU with 2 players online used while just after restart and for the next 4h it stands around 40%

[sacred socket]

Interesting, I'll have to watch my process analyzer

[small citrus]

Yeah you should check it

[sacred socket]

This isn't something I've personally noticed at least in gameplay

[small citrus]

Maybe your machine is stronger than mine

[sacred socket]

What CPU does your dedicated server host have?

I run it on a Ryzen 3 4350GE

[small citrus]

Model name: AMD EPYC 9354P 32-Core Processor

But its a VPS

So shared CPU (and i think its an issue as the documentation stands that compatibility with vCPU is restrained)

[sacred socket]

Interesting, yeah your hardware is a lot stronger than mine

What OS are you using?

[small citrus]

Debian 12

[sacred socket]

Ah, I'm on linux lite which is an ubuntu based distro

[small citrus]

Virtualization: AMD-V
Hypervisor vendor: KVM

I don't think that's relevant for performance

[sacred socket]

I mean it could be a relevant spec when one machine is having a noticeable issue and one machine isn't at least

[small citrus]

Yeah

That's why i'm talking about virtualization

[sacred socket]

It's probably either I'm not noticing it or the vCPU compatibility though

[small citrus]

It's not as good as physical CPU

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

If this is a VM (a VPS most definitely is), a kvm64 CPU won't work!

[sacred socket]

I would imagine an Epyc is faster than my repackaged laptop Ryzen 3 even when using virtualization though

[small citrus]

Yeah sure 🤣 i mean it depends

Of course if you don't know what to chose between a toaster and a vCPU

The choice is obvious lol

[sacred socket]

It's probably down to a weird compatibility thing more than anything if I truly don't have that issue

[small citrus]

Surely man ! That's why i'm getting a physical server in my house 👋 bye VPS 👋

And when i get it, i'll share performance improvments 🙂

[sacred socket]

I've seen virtualization cause some wild issues by even having the switch flipped to on LOL so it wouldn't surprise me

[sacred socket]

Honestly that's the way to do it if you already know how to run it and manage it. Set it up as a service and just forget about it until something goes wrong and you have to open it back up

[small citrus]

Yeah that's what i already did

Luckily for me i'm a software engineer 🤣 and i know my linux env

But i didn't like the fact that the dedicated server restarts out from the blue without prompting the player for a restart

So i used the server API, which made things worse than just restarting manualy the server

So know, i'm lost about it 🤣

Devs, can we have an api endpoint to send messages to online players ? Like the same prompt as "The server will restart in 10 minutes"

PLEASE

Thank you man ! That can be a small improvement but save sooooooo much headaches

[hidden forge]

@small citrus @sacred socket
The warning about virtualization is mostly about CPU emulation and the emulated not exposing certain instruction-sets. "kvm64" is a very old emated CPU which does not support/expose the required instructions fur UE. I don't know if somebody published or tested the actual requirements in regards to CPU extensions so we are not sure where the cutoff is.
A pass through or more modern emulated CPU should still work for server.

[small citrus]

Ouhhhh nice piece of info

Yeah unfortunately, i don't manage my VPS

AMD-V is a sign for host CPU pass through, that's fine

[nimble pine]

guys any solution for the de-sync issue yet ?

[hidden forge]

Also most modern virtualization only costs you 1-2% performance

[proud bison]

Well, that's what the satisfactory server does after the 1.1 update. Just restarted it and it's back to ~7% total system load

pretty interesting to see it jump up in steps

[dusty hazel]

keep monitoring while u port scan ur reliable port ^^

[dusty zealot]

Hello everyone. I have question regarding the server auto start that we can set. When that happens does it also update the server if there is an update available. Or is it simply a restart as it says?

[hidden forge]

Its a simple restart

[lyric birch]

I still have a version mismatch between Game and Server

Game Version: 424353 Server version: 418783

[deep turret]

did you do the usual steamcmd command miss ?

[lyric birch]

I am runnin my server on a persoal device on my networ. I have restarted the machine, restarted the service. Tried to follow steps to force update in command line. Etc. No Luck.

[deep turret]

and installed satisfactory server twice without knowing

make sure you call install/update command with +force_install_dir= your satisfactory server directory

otherwise it will install at default location

[lyric birch]

I am using NSSM and just recreated the .bat file for updates and reinstalled NSSM and ran all the command prompts it suggested on the satisfactory dedicated server wiki page.

I get SatisfactoryServerUpdate: Unexpected status SERVICE_STOPPED in response to START control

This is after running "nssm.exe start SatisfactoryServerUpdate" in command line

So in summary, when trying to start the SatisfactoryServerUpdate service using NSSM in Command Prompt from the directory where NSSM.exe lives I get this reply: SatisfactoryServerUpdate: Unexpected status SERVICE_STOPPED in response to START control.

Any thoughts?

[grim mica]

Check Event Viewer and see what the service throws when it stops, you can also just try to start it from services.msc

[lyric birch]

Not familiar with Event viewer or Services.msc

Having to step away, but am planning to continue working on this today. Thanks for any and all help for this noob. (Creating this server is the extent of my command line experience so if it doesnt tell me specifically how to do it I am lost. haha)

[thorny obsidian]

Hey guys, I am currently trying to run a dedicated server for me and my friend, because my friend since a few days has constant game crashes when playing on the server im hosting, plus the game got really laggy for me too when we are just unlocking phase 2.
So I am trying to run a dedicated server and its running fine, but we are having the issue of not being able to join. We get in the loading screen alright but its stuck there indefinently. Its weird, because you have the loading screen but already hear the ingame sounds of where youre at, can swing your sword and go in the esc menu etc.
I´ve already searched through a bunch of the wiki and reddit and can´t find a solution. The only thing I found and did was add Port 8888 to the already opened Port 7777, which you apparently need to do since 1.1. But the issue still remains and its extremely frustrating.
Does anyone here know any better and could help me?

[wicked knot]

8888 TCP? Firewall and router?

[thorny obsidian]

ya exactly that

[wicked knot]

double check. That is what the symptoms say is wrong

it may need a separate rule set, not just added to a current rule

[thorny obsidian]

okay, so router im 100% sure. and for the firewall i copied the commands from the wiki, so:
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound port udp" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 7777
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound port tcp" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 7777
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound port tcp" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 8888

[thorny obsidian]

what do you mean by that?

[wicked knot]

some routers let yo ustack ports in one rule, some will "let " you do it, but then only take the first line

[thorny obsidian]

ah got it

ahh okay finally, ive just re copied those firewall commands into powershell and now it works, thx a LOT. apparently they just didnt do it right the first time

THANKS

[slate relic]

anyone know a way that i can change the server Tickrate? from 30 to 60?

[slate relic]

I added that... and now It runs the server but i can't connect...

[dusty hazel]

can u post logs ?

did u changed the xx ?

NetServerMaxTickRate=60
LanServerMaxTickRate=60

[/Script/SocketSubsystemEpic.EpicNetDriver]
NetServerMaxTickRate=60
LanServerMaxTickRate=60

[/Script/Engine.Engine]
NetClientTicksPerSecond=60```

[slate relic]

yes i did

[dusty hazel]

is the cmd closing ? like crash ?

[slate relic]

nope

[dusty hazel]

try with only this maybe

NetServerMaxTickRate=60
LanServerMaxTickRate=60```

[dusty hazel]

fixedframerate is a try to adjust tickrate ?

[slate relic]

it was

[dusty hazel]

delete it too

[slate relic]

I did it and trying to run it again

[dusty hazel]

i saw @small citrus posting this earlier

MaxClientRate=120000     
MaxInternetClientRate=120000
NetServerMaxTickRate=60
LanServerMaxTickRate=60 

[/Script/SteamSockets.SteamSocketsNetDriver]
MaxClientRate=120000     
MaxInternetClientRate=120000
NetServerMaxTickRate=60
LanServerMaxTickRate=60 

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.EpicNetDriver]
MaxClientRate=120000     
MaxInternetClientRate=120000
NetServerMaxTickRate=60
LanServerMaxTickRate=60 ```

to fix tickrate

so u can try delete the last line and adjust ur engine with this

[slate relic]

I just added that and it seems to work

[dusty hazel]

tickrate at 60 ingame ?

[slate relic]

Yep

[dusty hazel]

if it is leave it like this

[craggy vine]

Hey i just bought satisfactory and wanted to make a server but always have error

Encryption Token Missing
my launch args .\FactoryServer.exe -multihome=0.0.0.0 -log -unattended

All 3 tcp and udp ports are opened

[wicked knot]

only 2 ports used now, you used old guides

!wikisearch Dedicated_server

[rancid ether]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=Dedicated_server

[craggy vine]

Okayy tyy ima check again and reinstall everything from 0

[wicked knot]

the software should be the saem, just configs are diff

[mighty turtle]

I have main game in EGS and installed before server through steamcmd and it works for some time.. Now i updating server and game and have difference between server and game version
.\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir D:\SatisfactoryServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit - updated through this command
and server version is 368883 and game version is 424353
There is no hope to continue through steamcmd server ?

[hidden forge]

You need to join via server manager

[craggy vine]

I did but i got the error 9 still even if i reinstalled everything and updated port ( indeed i had issue on 8888 not being opened )

but still same issue

[wicked knot]

old ver had 7777 on UDP only, new ver needs TCP and UDP on that port

[craggy vine]

yeah i opened firewall and router

[mild thunder]

make sure to have allow edge traversal on as well

[craggy vine]

what's that ?

( I didn't edited any config file atm )

[mild thunder]

on the firewall rules, its one of the other tabs

[craggy vine]

Okay i made

[hidden forge]

Check your system times

[craggy vine]

Yeah there's an issue indeed

Okay im sync i restarted game server but still not working indeed

Still same

[mild thunder]

depending on how far off the time was, either wait the time frame out, or if both systems times are now correct, delete the config file for the server and let it regenerate a new cert

[craggy vine]

Ohh it was couple hours ( it was 3am instead of 6pm )

[mild thunder]

ah, so look for the ServerSettings.7777.sav and delete, then restart the server

if needing help finding it, the wiki link that was posted has the common locations in it

[craggy vine]

Well i deleted the Saved folder and restarted server but...

[mild thunder]

did you remove the server from the client and add it back as well?

[craggy vine]

uhh nope

well i never been able to connect to it in first place soo

[mild thunder]

im not sure how much it caches once it is added to the list

[craggy vine]

it's okay don't worry you all helped me a lot already ❤️

[craggy vine]

ohhh i don't have any certificate, should i create one of one of my domains ?

[mild thunder]

the server self signs one on startup and saves it to the serversettings file

i have been meaning to try custom certs, but never got around to it yet

[craggy vine]

Well i don't have the certificates folder

[mild thunder]

did you find the Serversettings file

[craggy vine]

well i just re installed the satisfactorydedicatedserver from steamcmd from 0 so everythings empty atm

[mild thunder]

it wouldnt have touched the serversettings file with a reinstall

[craggy vine]

oh is it like in appdata ?

[mild thunder]

yeah

[craggy vine]

okay i cleared appdata local

[craggy vine]

It's okay i found

everything

it seem's to be working im setting it up from the game

[mild thunder]

awesome

[craggy vine]

❤️

[paper valley]

Just wondering if 1.1 dedicated servers are now stable? cheers

[unique dove]

Hi all! What is the best/good server host? Looking in Europe

[wicked knot]

stable, yeah, mostly. Flawless? Hardly

[paper valley]

perfect thank you, following the same guide for 1.1 assume?

[wicked knot]

yeah, dont follow the guide frm u7

[paper valley]

fandom or wiki ok?

[wicked knot]

gg

not fandom, outated, no longer supported

[paper valley]

okay wiki.gg it is then thank you

do i need to swap the port from 15777 to 8888 in the game.ini?

[wicked knot]

15000 and 15777 dont need to be open at all

dont use any setting from the fandom guide

[paper valley]

so only 8888 port needs to be open?

[hidden forge]

7777 TCP & UDP, 8888 TCP

[wicked knot]

7777 TCP/UDP, 8888 TCP

[paper valley]

perfect thank you, assuming 7777 is port to join?

[wicked knot]

and both can be changed on the launch arg

[hidden forge]

you tell the client the base port, default 7777, the server tells the client the reliableport, default 8888

[paper valley]

do i need to manually change the port in game.ini then as that was set at 15777 previously i think?

[wicked knot]

if that is in windowsNoEdit folder, it doesnt get read

that is also old info, UE 5 changed it to just windows

[paper valley]

on linux so unsure

[wicked knot]

I would dump the entire config folder, and let teh game rebuild

set the ports in .sh

there are some other things that would be left over frm UE4, that may connflict

[paper valley]

im going to do that, restart from the start, thank you

[paper valley]

opened both ports 7777 and 8888 got the serve up etc but when joining ive failed to connect to servers API any advice?

[wicked knot]

may need separate rules for TCP and UDP on 7777?

iirc, thats the port that gives the general API

[proud bison]

Devs, please fix

[craggy vine]

?

what are you using to make the vm ?

[dusty hazel]

change ur reliable port if not done

[proud bison]

Server is running in a docker container on my unraid system

[proud bison]

Wtf is a reliable port? Do you mean the external port that is open to the public?

[dusty hazel]

the 8888 TCP port

change it

if u use docker with wolveix image add this in the env

-SERVERMESSAGINGPORT=xxxx

and open a new port on ur router

[craggy vine]

well on my proxmox servers i have no issues

idk

[ornate kite]

Is it normal that after 2–3 hours of uptime, the server starts acting weird — like when you research something, the items you put in disappear and the thing doesn’t get researched, or in the Awesome Shop, tickets are gone but the item isn't purchased, or sometimes you can't take items from conveyor belts?

[dusty hazel]

check ur cpu usage

[dusty hazel]

and make tickrate 60 instead of 30 can help

[ornate kite]

How?

[dusty hazel]

add this to then engine.ini of the server

NetServerMaxTickRate=60
LanServerMaxTickRate=60```

[ornate kite]

where?

[dusty hazel]

should be in the server folder somewhere is a save folder iirc

[ornate kite]

what do you mean?

[dusty hazel]

when u create the server some folder gets created right ?

[ornate kite]

I used the official wiki

[dusty hazel]

yeah then in the server folder look for a file named engine.ini

[ornate kite]

this is the server folder

[dusty hazel]

navigate inside it and look for engine.ini

[ornate kite]

inside what?

[dusty hazel]

the server folder

[ornate kite]

it is the screenshot from above

[dusty hazel]

like open FactoryGame and look if u can find engine.ini

[dusty hazel]

keep going until u find it look inside all 3

[ornate kite]

looked for it don't found it

[dusty hazel]

screen inside binaries

[dusty hazel]

linux

[dusty hazel]

ok go back to content

[dusty hazel]

are u sure that's not ur game files ?

[ornate kite]

yeahh

[dusty hazel]

what is before this ?

[dusty hazel]

look in Engine

[dusty hazel]

same go to content

[dusty hazel]

then binaries

[soft bolt]

Question: I logged in on my server by using my remote ip, and I logged in as admin.
All went well there.
But if I log in by my local ip on the same server, i'm just a normal user.
How can I change this without losing my current world?

[dusty hazel]

remove the cert in ur server folder and connect first with ur local

[soft bolt]

Will I lose my world then?

[dusty hazel]

no

[dusty hazel]

/config/.factorygame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini path on linux should be this

[soft bolt]

I'm sorry... what dir?

[dusty hazel]

/config/.factorygame/Saved/SaveGames/server/

[soft bolt]

Found it
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames
😉

[dusty hazel]

nice

delete the .sav in the screen and it should be good

[soft bolt]

I backed it up, hehe. you never know...

[dusty hazel]

nice one x

Dd

[soft bolt]

Phew, that took a while with some server restarts and a few attemps, BUT it worked. Even all mods enabled!!
Great. TY @dusty hazel

[dusty hazel]

nice glad it works at the end have a good game

[soft bolt]

Much to learn, great game, great community, even better support.
Danke

[slate relic]

Hi guys anyone know a Good VPS to host a server? I'm currently using Hostinger, but this host sucks... I'm with 2 vCore 8gb rams, but the server still laggy and my friend and I we aren't building giga farms or whatever...

[paper valley]

anyone give me a idea on why when i ran my 1.0 server my dedicated server was fine and ran perfectly, using 1.1 server and now it lags now to now

[dusty hazel]

change the reliable port for a high random one in the 40000 range

server handle badly unauthorized connection for the reliable port that cause high cpu spikes

port scanners in fault

[tawny mantle]

Hi guys, I currently rent a dedicated server with Nitrado - For some reason, my Blueprints do not show in game after saving, despite the .sbp folders being created in the server files. Anyone have any idea on a fix for this? Thanks

[polar lagoon]

Cool i managed to utilize nginx to use my domain rather than ip with Satisfactory server

[severe flint]

does anyone have a satisfactory dedicated server running with playit? i need help

[paper valley]

7777 is an unathorised prt?

[kind atlas]

I highly doubt that would make any difference. Unless you are actually getting targeted by packet flooding, normal port scans won't cause lag spikes. You can try making a backup of your save file and spinning up a fresh server instance.

[wicked knot]

a few dozen people have anecdotal evidence it helps

[deep turret]

it's a overlook to assume "not being targeted" everyone is
in the internet of 40gbps capable single links and more, one actually can scan the whole internet in several hours
one can even scan every single port of every single connection in around 2 years

and that's assuming they have a single link
actual bot nets have thousands if not millions

[dusty hazel]

u can doubt it works but several peoples here changed the reliable port and their cpu are thanking them for it, that's all i can say so it' up to u to change it or not, give it a try what does it cost u to change it anyways ?

if u wanna make it real safe u can whitelist ur server or make a vpn tunnel but for majority of people changing a port is easier since not everyone has network knowledge

[tawny mantle]

[manic cedar]

hallo, for deciated server what ports need to be open for 1.1? Players get stuck on the loading screen when joining the game and I read that port 7777 needs to be open on both TCP and UDP, but i also read somewhere that 8888 needs to be open on TCP, is that true?

[next shoal]

Yes since 1.1 you need to open 8888 TCP. But is recommended to change it (reliable port) to something in the 40000 or 50000 range, because it causes some issues with high CPU utilisation due to port scanners. At least for me it worked somehow.

[manic cedar]

how can you change that? Also having some struggles port forwarding in a way that the game knows where to find 8888 because im using playit.gg

[hidden forge]

Pass it via the -ReliablePort=XXXX argument

[surreal smelt]

inb4 someone fires up their botnet to target these ports 🫡

[ripe warren]

i cant play on any dedicated server in the usa beacuse i get desynced from the server after in a while

does anyone know how to fix this

[wicked knot]

You have to be playing on one to see desync, and that is just a thing that we all deal with

[ripe warren]

wait so there is no way to fix desync issue?

my friends on the server dont have this

so i assumed it was a region based problem

since both of them live in america

while im from brazil

[wicked knot]

the higher your ping, (among other issues) the worse it will be

[ripe warren]

weird tho

in 1.0 i had no issues with that

[ripe warren]

are you sure this isnt something that came with this new version

[wicked knot]

they are always working on the server end. Some things get better, some things get worse

[ripe warren]

gotta love satisfactory i cant play with friends

[wicked knot]

just play til it gets unbearabel, and relog

[ripe warren]

[drifting hatch]

Tasty

[slate relic]

Guys is there a way to organize the blueprints for everyone in the server? Like i have many blueprints and I made diferents categories, but for my friends they are just empty categories with everything squished on undefined, while mine has everything organized, how can I made everything shows organized for everyone?

[drifting hatch]

I think you basically got to copy the blueprints to the server

Then restart it / stop / start

Depending where you are hosting there should at least be some sort of file manager / access where you can upload the blueprints

[sullen radish]

Good morning!

Does this game have an ARM compatible dedicated server yet?

Pi 5 16GB is probably finally a Pi that can handle the task

[drifting hatch]

According to Fandom Wiki: "There are currently no plans for an ARM CPU-compatible build, so the Dedicated Server cannot be deployed to, for instance, a Raspberry Pi"

[sullen radish]

currently so you're saying there's a chance

[drifting hatch]

I'm not saying anything, just copy/pasting from a website XD

[sullen radish]

I'll check again next year. :3

[drifting hatch]

You could always get an x86 system, like a refurbished dell optiplex from amazon refurbished, or something like that for 100-200 quid, might be worth looking into

or maybe even an Intel NUC could do the job, CPU selection would be the main thing in all cases

[hidden forge]

No native binary (yet). There was at least one user who got it working useing box64, but you need a pretty beefy CPU to handle the Server + Translation. A Pi is not strong enough i think
#dedicated-servers message

[deep turret]

you have to get a recent and powerful enough cpu

we are not talking about a file server there

[drifting hatch]

Yea as I posted above, it's using between 2 and 4 cores of a 12600K on my LAN, with this size of fac

At least I have seen it peak at about 380% yesterday, so almost 4 cores worth of compute so far

[deep turret]

12600k Desktop cpu cores are not same as old or lower mobile cpu

[drifting hatch]

No single-core perf is significantly better than something like that true

As I mentioned, CPU selection would be the main consideration I think

Anyone can throw 16GB into a basic rig

[deep turret]

especially since ddr4 is loosing the market focus

[drifting hatch]

Yea it's cheap

I think you really just want a fast CPU, high clock, good single-core performance, at at least 4-6 cores

[deep turret]

yes

[drifting hatch]

AM4 options can be pretty good and cheap xD

[drifting hatch]

The server does seem very well threaded though, plenty of parallelism. Perhaps more cores beneficial as well XD

[deep turret]

it's only hopping from core to core, htop task manager etc really does not tell the full picture

[drifting hatch]

True, there is probably a lot of core dancing going on, it does have a decent number of threads tho

[deep turret]

4 core is about what makes significant impact

[drifting hatch]

Sounds sensible yea

[slate relic]

all the blueprints are already on the server.

everyone can see them, but they aren't organized as they should be, for me everything is organized, but for my friends they aren't

[drifting hatch]

Yea because blueprints are basically a local client thing as far as I understand, copying them to the server just dumps them in Undefined category

[slate relic]

Is there a way that i can get eveything organized for my friends too?

[drifting hatch]

I think you'd have to Google/Reddit that, not sure

Might be a way to copy over the config file that describes how they are organised, not sure 🤷‍♂️

[slate relic]

As I understood here, there is no way to do that and on dedicated server that is also a bity glichy

😫 sadge moments

[drifting hatch]

Sounds like server-based blueprinting could use some love but I guess it's low prio

[slate relic]

Like the only way that i understood that can work is opening the file and rewritting there, but no chance that i will open 100 bp todo that

LOL

[drifting hatch]

I guess time to embrace the Undefined life xD

[slate relic]

I mean for me is everything organized

my friends will embrace that hahahaha

[drifting hatch]

Yep 😈

[sullen radish]

For the translation and server, absolutely not.

[drifting hatch]

Not sure if a Pi would be strong enough anyway, I might/probably be wrong, but based on the demand on a relatively powerful x86 server, I'd be impressed if a Pi could handle a medium/large fac with multiple players

But yea, I am usually wrong XD

[deep turret]

most pi no way
pi5 maybe
but you can only bet on the beefiest of all the sbc and even then it's not sure
so they don't say absolutely no
but it's crystal clear it's not yet interesting to make an arm version
and as with x86_64 binaries, it would require the latest of arm cpu anyway

[polar lagoon]

Hmm, what would cause that the server thread is utilizing one core at 100%. need to reboot the server like 3-4 times per day

[drifting hatch]

any clues in the logs?

[polar lagoon]

As far as i know, its related to that 8888 port. I changed it to something else, and im gonna monitor the cpu activity.

[drifting hatch]

Interesting, fingers crossed. I wonder why, could be some sort of conflict but usually if the port is bound nothing else would be able to do so

[polar lagoon]

Hmm, it has something to do with tcp requests, because 8888 is the most scanned port and its known for vulnerabilities.

[drifting hatch]

Shouldn't be resulting in a pegged CPU core/thread though, unless you are literally getting megaspammed / DoS'd

[polar lagoon]

Yeah, but the server itself goes wild about the requests tho

I found this message from the Q:A:

Seemed to be correlated to the 8888 port that was added.

I was getting multiple error lines related to TCP requests on this port either being invalid, or disconnected prematurely.


Also checked my firewall logs and saw traffic coming through to this port when no one was connected. Seemed this was related to someones trying to gain access through that port.


changed the server settings to use something different (5 digit port number). Issue immediately resolved.


Seems what happens is whenever the server received a TCP:ACK or TCP:SYN packet on this port without it being accompanied by someone joining the server, it would wake up and go into a waiting period indefinitely. couple this several hundred times and now you've got a server filled with network threads that are just waiting and eating up CPU power.


Explains why rebooting would 'fix' it because it would clear everything out for the moment.```

[drifting hatch]

Hmm, fair, well, that's down to the server implementation I guess

Bots are all over the internet scanning ports, I see thousands of automated requests on various servers I run, but nothing usually that would even be remotely a blip on the CPU

[polar lagoon]

Yeah, i think the good fix for the server is that it flushes the tcp requests from hanging, if the requests didnt come from client (players), or just use another port by default

[drifting hatch]

Could be a Satisfactory server specific thing yeah

[polar lagoon]

Yep, maybe for the future i would use reverse proxy to give another route for that traffic, so i can keep that kind ports closed

[drifting hatch]

As far as TCP connections / SYN / ACK / FIN_WAIT, etc. that's an underlying operating system thing, again shouldn't be a CPU issue really

[polar lagoon]

yeah the packets itself is not the problem, i see that the issue relies on server logic to handle the packets

[drifting hatch]

mhm yea sounds like it's a specific application issue, e.g the satisfac server

[polar lagoon]

yep

Could be over Satisfac, it could be unreal engine stage issue also

[drifting hatch]

Well hopefully as we say - "security by obscurity", using a different port will help

Could be Unreal yea, I'm really not experienced enough to know xD

[polar lagoon]

same 😄

[drifting hatch]

The "good thing" is that basically all of these probes are done by bots

They work on rules, try known ports, try known techniques, etc

[wicked knot]

The game used to only use UDP, meaning they had to build in error checking for the packets. TCP does that by default, but the server may still be trying to do it too

[drifting hatch]

It really shouldn't be an issue imo unless the server is somehow getting exploited, or getting into some sort of loop that's pegging that thread at 100%

TCP or UDP

[feral rock]

My train stations disappear from the map when they are not loaded in. Anyone know why???

[drifting hatch]

Disappear permanently or just until next load, etc?

[half flax]

@feral rock ^^

[feral rock]

Srry didnt see your response, They just go away on the map. Once I get close enough they then reappear on the map like nothing happened.

They end showing in the middle of the map

[drifting hatch]

Hmm, I see asset load issues similar, like some things spawn in faster than others at long distances, foundations for example. Not sure about the map though, I haven't noticed issues there

[dusty hazel]

change the Reliable port for a high one to avoid port scanner

[polar lagoon]

yep, done that already and i think it fixed the issue.

[drifting hatch]

My public services, nginx, postfix, etc, get scanned 10's of thousands of times per day, this seems like a problem with Satisfac server if this is the case XD

[dusty hazel]

yeah the reliable port handle badly any connection to the port other than ingame

[drifting hatch]

If you need to resort to hiding the port, which is not really a solution, there might be bigger problems at play here XD

[dusty hazel]

yeah known issue but no fixes for now

changing realiable port for something high should work i had the issue and now that i changed i got 24 days uptime and still at 3% idle

[drifting hatch]

It works in the sense that bots, as I mentioned, typically scan known ports under known rules, but it's just security by obscurity, it's not a fix, just reducing the chance of some random higher level port getting hit

[dusty hazel]

yup

u could whitelist or make a vpn tunnel tho

but for non network nerd changing the port seems easier

[drifting hatch]

Yea for most changing the port number probably helps. Shame the port number in the header isn't 64-bit. 16-bit is not many to guess xD

[dusty hazel]

yeah and 8888 is pretty close to 8080 which is often used for http traffic

[drifting hatch]

I'm surprised that 8888 is hit so hard, I don't run anything on that, but I would have guessed things like 25, 80, 443, 8080 are more popular, guess I am wrong xD

[dusty hazel]

www.speedguide.net/port.php?port=8888

used by a lot of hand made thing so it gets scanned

[drifting hatch]

It's a lot of stuff yea

Why does Satis use it? I thought it's 7777

[dusty hazel]

7777 is base port for http traffic and API and 8888 is the messaging port used for API too from 1.1 update

[drifting hatch]

Yea my LAN server is listening on both

[dusty hazel]

without the reliable port u would get stuck in the loading screen

[drifting hatch]

Well yea ofc but why pick 7777 and 8888

If 8888 is so heavily bot-hit

Do an ID Software and pick a higher level below 32768, what is Quake like 27960

[dusty hazel]

yeah pretty much random i think they didn't thought further

minecraft is 25565

[drifting hatch]

Yea seems an odd choice to pick 8888 and 7777

[dusty hazel]

can't agree more

[drifting hatch]

What is IANA dynamics, like 49152-65535 or something

As long as it's below that, I guess. I think prob best below 32768

[dusty hazel]

yup

[drifting hatch]

I would have never picked 7777 and 8888 put it that way XD

Maybe I'm just trash at googling, but I haven't found any answers for this issue. I'm running a dedicated server on my home network, so connecting via LAN. When I actually try to load into the game, I'm greeted with the loading screen...forever. When I hit esc I hear the audio of the menu opening, but it never actually loads

u need to open the 8888 TCP Port

[dusty hazel]

on top of the 7777 TCP/UDP

[tidal relic]

Both of those ports are open (which shouldn't make a difference over LAN but I digress).
Firewall exceptions on the local server have also been set

[dusty hazel]

look with nmap or online port scanner if they are well opened

It's a LAN server xD

[dusty hazel]

oups mb

[drifting hatch]

I just open v4/v6 7777/udp/tcp and 8888/tcp

[tidal relic]

For what it's worth, they are open though lol

[drifting hatch]

Are they xD

[dusty hazel]

linux or windows ?

[tidal relic]

Yeah, planning on playing with friends but wanted to make sure I get it all set up on my end first

Windows

[drifting hatch]

So what is this, a Windows box inside your NAT/v6 based LAN?

[dusty hazel]

make a .bat and add -MultiHome=0.0.0.0

[drifting hatch]

I wouldn't personally do that xD

Configure the Windows box Firewall so that those ports are open

Configure your router to NAT forward those externally exposed ports to the internal system

Firewall config for v6 if you want to do that

Ideally Windows box has a static internal

And bear in mind like anything, if you are opening port mappings, i.e. breaking through your firewall/NAT, you are technically exposing a service/system to the outside world

If your friends have static IP addresses, and your router supports it, limit connections by source IP as well

[tidal relic]

My friends are not nearly that tech savvy lol

[drifting hatch]

xD

[tidal relic]

Could it be something weird with my client? If you're willing to test I can shoot you the IP to try connecting and see if you also get this lovely loading screen

[drifting hatch]

PM me and I can try

[tidal relic]

Fixed it. I wasn't paying attention, and it was in fact trying to use ipv6. Just added the multihome argument to get it rolling

[drifting hatch]

Ah okay, I googled it, as in bind to all interfaces, I'm used to servers on Linux rather than Windows xD

It was bound though, I could connect, meh xD if it works it works

[dusty hazel]

see hehe xD multihome is the way

[drifting hatch]

I only have ever run servers on my Linux systems, Windows is a new place for me, it's just used primarily to play games xD

[drifting hatch]

Seems so XD

[dusty hazel]

hehe

[drifting hatch]

multihome ftw xD

I still don't understand the choice to pick 7777/udp/tcp and 8888/tcp. These are some of the worst ports to pick

All these poor users who are suffering with portscan and issues because you picked 8888? Why? Of all the ports, why did CSS pick 8888? It makes no sense to me

Hey everyone. Does someone have a recommendation for a dedicated server? I've tried to set one up for me and my friend, and I can get into it, but my friend can't. Im on windows 11 if that makes a difference. Thanks!

I've followed this video if it helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28qffd4l86g&t=1s

[dusty hazel]

u must open the 8888 TCP port on top of the 7777 TCP/UDP

[dusty hazel]

it is what it is

[unborn mountain]

Thanks!

Hey got a problem with a newly created dedicated server. We had a bug where a milestone didn't register. We restarted the server to see if that would work, but now the server just says "Failed to connect to server API" even thoe the server shows up as online.

[dusty hazel]

what does the logs says

is it just me, or do you get odd things into ur console? dafug is that "Hello" 😄, i posted this here, because in singleplayer this kind of data never has shown

Hi everyone, looking for help to set up my dedicated server. I followed the step by step guide on reddit and I successfully created a server with the SDS app from Epic. I can join with my local IP but when I try with my public, I have the "fail to connect to the server API" error. The workarounds that I found is the use [ ] around the IP and it works! But when I join the server I have a network issue "Connection to the host has been lost". I checked my firewall and the mapping and all seems to be correct but I am clearly not an expert... Someone can give me a tips? The wiki is a bit overwhelming for me 😅 Thanks!

[polar lagoon]

check dm

[frigid crown]

anyway to change 8888 to 8889?

running 2 servers on the same box
