[tacit talon]

I'm having trouble finding the cause of this error

[modest birch]

having the same problem, started today too

[rotund sapphire]

did you opened the ports?
TCP 7777
UDP 7777
TCP 8888

[tacit talon]

Yep, I also have them allowed in my firewall

It happens after an extended period of inactivity I believe (probably 1-2 hours)

[rotund sapphire]

reinstalling did you tried that?

when this is happening after severel hour, it can that the firewall is blocking after some time.

you are able to join for this period where it doesnt have this error message

[tacit talon]

Yes but outside connection aren’t

[rotund sapphire]

can you send me a screenshot from the firewall?

[tacit talon]

Of what specifically?

[rotund sapphire]

from the satisfactory rules

[tacit talon]

this work?

[rotund sapphire]

Yes. Is this inbound oder outbound?

[tacit talon]

Not sure

[rotund sapphire]

Its top left writen.

[tacit talon]

inbound

should i change it?

[rotund sapphire]

No. Thats right how you did it

Is it happening when you try to join or when you leave? Or it happends when you left slready after this time you said.

[tacit talon]

it only happens when everyone is offline from what ive seen

[rotund sapphire]

Is it your server at your home or extern?

[tacit talon]

wdym

[rotund sapphire]

Do you rented a server?

[tacit talon]

no

[rotund sapphire]

The server is runing on your pc?

[tacit talon]

yes

[rotund sapphire]

Did you opened the ports as well on your router?

[tacit talon]

yep

[rotund sapphire]

I think it have something to do with your provider. That there are blocking after some time.

[tacit talon]

could be, i did get it reinstalled but ill have to wait to see any results

[wicked knot]

is the computer the server is running on going to "sleep" after an hour of inactivity?

[tacit talon]

nope

i did get something from my antivirus though

[sacred jackal]

Is there any place in either game installation or LocalAppData where I can retrieve the IP of a server? It's still in my list, I just forgot what the IP is...

For context it's a managed server and I have other ways to get it (in fact, I already did) but I was still wondering where I could look in case those options weren't available

[gusty locust]

Hi everyone, I just set up a dedicated server on a linux, and after some testing, I managed to launch it by using the command: ./FactoryServer.sh -Port=7777 -ReliablePort=8888 -multihome=::
I have to force ipv6 because of my internet provider who shares the ipv4. I also tried to type the complete ip after the multihome command.
I see the server when I add the ipv6 adress and I'm able to claim it. I have been able to create a world.
But when trying to connecting using the ipV6, my friends and I have the "your connection to the host has been lost" message.
The port 7777 tcp/udp and 8888 tcp on my router are opened (and tested).
I have tested connecting to the server in local (192.168.X.X adress) and it worked, if it matters.

[hidden forge]

The client does not handle ipv6 address inputs correctly, you have to use some kind of DNS for v6 to work fully

[gusty locust]

Thank you for that answer! I've spent many hours checking all around the internet and haven't been able to have that info.

[hidden forge]

Not many people use v6 (sadly)

Also easy way for DNS conversion on windows is to use "literal addresses "

[mild thunder]

looks like in the AppData, there is a Servermanager_V2.sav file that has the servers listed in.

[gusty locust]

Can you advice me on that? I'm not really used to network management etc...

[hidden forge]

go to https ://ipv6-literal.com/
put in the ipv6 of the server
use the first result "IPv6 literal Windows"

[gusty locust]

And I use this adress on the game client to add my server?

Thanks a lot for your help mate @hidden forge !

I'm finally in!

[sacred jackal]

Ty!

Do I specifically have to use ports 7777 and 8888 or can I pick any odd ones?

[wicked knot]

you can specify them in launch arguments, -port=xxxx and -reliableport=xxxx

and whatever you pick as port needs TCP and UDP access frm outside, where reliableport only needs TCP

[sacred jackal]

I see, tyvm!

[dreamy temple]

Just be aware that ipv6 has certain security vulnerabilities. Which is primarily why it hasn't be widely adopted. It bypasses the NAT layer in your router as it provides a direct connection to the internet. Make sure you configure adequate firewall rules for ipv6 on your router to give you some protection at a minimum as most routers do not have ipv6 firewall pre-configured.

[hidden forge]

@gusty locust
IPv6 itself is no more or less secure than v4!
Some vendors are just dragging their feet for almost two decades to correctly implement it.
NAT is not a security feature.

[dreamy temple]

I just mean the component of NAT that hides your internal devices. Indirectly it provides a security function that way as your devices are not directly reachable w/o port forwarding.

[hidden forge]

While not wrong, that is a side effect, not the intended function

[outer vault]

I run a modded server for a streamer. Very light mods, I can send a modlist if needed. We've all been fine up until recently. we're now 1070 hours in and one person is crashing every time they try to delete a blueprint. the other person is simply not able to join. see below for the console logs for the person unable to join.

[spiral sandal]

guys help pls, i cant my friends dedicated server, it keeps saying server name pending not authenticated

what to do

[wicked knot]

sounds like you used a very outdated guide to set up ports.
7777TCP
7777UDP
8888TCP
need access thru the router

[drifting orchid]

My dedicated server was working fine for about a week and a half and suddenly it now keeps getting "Could not retrieve audio device." errors. Most of the sounds work, but things like ADA voice logs don't, or the chainsaw stops making sounds after about a second.

Any idea why that would happen?

[hidden forge]

The server does not need to play audio, you can ignore it

[drifting orchid]

Except it is making it so I'm not hearing sounds like I mentioned...

I don't hear any ADA voice logs now since it started doing that

[wicked knot]

all audio and video rendering is done on the clients, nothing on the server

most rack servers dont have any audio or video device to find

[drifting orchid]

I don't understand then why my dedicated server is producing this error while I am also hearing the audio bug in my client version. They are hosted on the same machine for what its worth.

[wicked knot]

well that could explain a lot of it.

your desktop PC is carrying double load, using double resources

[drifting orchid]

I've got a decent PC, and it wasn't having this issue before. But hmm, maybe it's time I look to outsource this dedicated server instead of self-hosting it.

I've got a little beelink I use for a PleX server, not sure it could support running a dedicated satisfactory server though.

[wicked knot]

I mean, the more you build, the more load teh CPU has. I havnt seen a HW audio device in ages, so they all use CPU slices now

[cobalt tundra]

Hi everyone!
i start a server, all works correctly, my friend can manage it. But on my pc i see "Failed to connect to server API"
Logs give me accepted connection:

[2026.04.25-08.43.36:923][362]LogNet: NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from: ...

Has anyone encountered this problem?

[hidden forge]

Where is the server hosted?

[cobalt tundra]

what u meen about "where"?
vps

[hidden forge]

Did you enter the correct address and port?

[cobalt tundra]

yep, i send it to my friend and he now playing on this server

but for me - "Failed to connect to server API"

[hidden forge]

Any VPN Software or similar installed and active on your PC?
Did you set any firewall rules?

[cobalt tundra]

v2ray for proxy, but i tried to fully off it, then fully on vpn
about firewall i thinked and turned off for some time

[hidden forge]

Can you see the ping of the server?

[cobalt tundra]

yep

15min and i can send screen from game

[hidden forge]

Something is blocking the basport TCP connection only then

[cobalt tundra]

well, thats. Hello from stupid russian control =)
they block 7777 port, i turned off firewall and then fully on VPN...

[abstract junco]

anyone able to help with port fowarding shenanigans?

pretty sure I have everything right but it just tells me the server is offline, trying to ping 7777 and 8888 just shows they time out

[hidden forge]

can you post your config?

[abstract junco]

I wound up just forking over 9 bucks for a hosting site

[meager phoenix]

Hello people - im currently renting a server - and i have a question, everytime i build a conveyor belt without connecting it to something (full lenght) the it's like the server says "im gonna blow up" and everything freezes, anyone have any idea why this happens?

[regal prairie]

Hello... I am having a problem I have been trying to solve all morning. I havent played satisfactory in two years (self hosted dedicated) and have come back.

I am running satisfactory on Unraid (Linux) machine and I cant get server to see my old save file AND it will not save once I upload my save to the world. 7777 TCP/UDP and 8888 TCP are all port forwarded. I ran this prior for a very long time.

I can upload my save file, it loads me into the game but when I attempt to manually save, I get an API error

It can not see the save file in the server manager either if I manually put it in the folder

[hidden forge]

my guess is on a permissions issue

[regal prairie]

You were right on the money.... good ol linux and SMB.

Once I uploaded the save via WinSCP via SFTP, works like a charm

thanks for the direction

[deft gulch]

tem algum br?

[warm haven]

Hi there folks, could someone tell me how I would enable AGS on an existing game on a linux dedicated game server as admin? I have asked my AI but it keeps telling me to go to the create game tab in the server manager but that really sounds like it's going to start a new session on the server and not enable AGS on the current game session.

When going to the server manager tab, the only page for the server that has an AGS check box is the "create game" tab. It can't be found anywhere else.

[carmine comet]

Hello pioneers.
I'm in a similar spot to aarin, but I can't get my server to bind to IPv6 and I'm using a DNS.
I can claim the server via local IPv4, but IPv6 was timing out. I did ss -tulpn | grep FactoryServer and it appears to only be listening to 0.0.0.0 on 7777.
The VM has IPv6 connectivity and I can ping it, nsloopup with the absolute domain name returns my server's IPv6 address.

I'd really appreciate some pointers to get my server to listen on IPv6. I've been at this for a bit and my brain is mush. IPv6 only is fine, perhaps even ideal as I'm behind CG NAT.

[mild thunder]

I'm not at my computer to confirm, but try checking on the load save page after you click on the save, other wise download it locally then you can load it there with ags then re-save and then upload it back.

[warm haven]

Thanks for your help, would that still keep other players in the game as well? I play this save with my brother and he's done a ton of work on the map and I'm super worried that I'm going to b0rk his progress somehow.

[mild thunder]

If everyone is logged out, re-save to get the latest game progress, then make the changes using the new save and nothing should be lost, everyone will have ags and it does disable achievements for all if anyone is trying to get them.

[hidden forge]

Does the server run natively on the OS is it in some Kinde of docker container?
Does it bind to 0.0.0.0 only or * too?

[carmine comet]

It runs natively in the VM.
It does appear to also bind to *.

[hidden forge]

should have been *:7777

try starting the server with the -multihome=::parameter

[carmine comet]

Ah. I'll try that when I get back home. I need to get to work now. Thanks for the pointer. I'll let you know how I go.

[tulip shoal]

does anyone know a good server host for a 24/7 server

[carmine comet]

Okay, so I added the -multihomme=::

and now the listen ports look like this:

And just for the sake of being thorough, this is the error the game client gives me when trying to connect:

hmm, and I seemingly missing an encryption token when I try connect via IPv4. I'll work on that a bit.

[hidden forge]

You need to use the server manager to join, not join game

[carmine comet]

ahh

[carmine comet]

Yep that works.
Thanks a heap for the help.

[wicked lark]

Has anyone found any workarounds for having to reauthenticate everytime? I can live with the blueprints still being bugged, but having to reauthenticate every time is killing me....

[nova summit]

Hello people.

I'm having trouble updating the server in exp, any tip?
I tried following the wiki "https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Automatic_updates" but it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks!

[wicked knot]

google that error
state is 0x6 after update job

[wicked lark]

wait, you're running out of your downloads folder? every IT guy in existance just had a heart attack.... 😉

And are you trying to run this in powershell?

[raven portal]

Started up a dedicated server and imported my world onto it. After loading, I immediately fall through the world. Restarting fixed it, but now everyone who was on the server in a vehicle is at 0,0 and falling through the world. Is this a known bug?

Also, wondering about game performance for the dedicated server. Running on a local machine with an i5-12400F in docker with 32GB of RAM, projectiles are very laggy. Internet speed is 1000 Mb/s up/down locally and remote, changed the rick rate to 120 and the network quality to Ultra and while it kind of fixed the issue, it was still obviously laggy and a lot of the physics in the game were really messed up. Hitting an enemy caused you to go flying across the map sometimes, vehicles would cause enemies to sometimes not move and other times to shoot super fast into the air.

When I play myself with others, my frame rate in game drops from 144fps to 130 and slowly down to below 100 over the course of 30 minutes to an hour which is one of the reasons why I wanted to use the dedicated server. Playing single player doesn't have this issue.

I also see a bunch of errors about the size of somwthing being too big on startup, not sure if thats related. Anyone got any ideas on what to look? I have yet to try setting the bandwidth setting in the performance improvements part of the wiki.

[blazing copper]

hello anyone else having there server crash after the update when you delete trains

[mild thunder]

there was posts in #1038092680493801533 about it happening in single player as well and it was posted to the QA site as a bug.

[nova summit]

Yeah? Because it supports it perfectly fine?

[nova summit]

it's a one time thing, i do not need to move the executables to some other paths... Administrator user can read from that path, so that's not an issue

and yeah, I work in IT, and no, I didn't have a heart attack just by that, but hey, if it makes you feel better, yeah, im so bad and I know nothing of IT

[wicked lark]

Don’t get your panties in a bunch for a little ribbing…. I worked it for 40 years… My point though is that you shouldn’t need power shell. It should run just fine from batch.

Power shell could vary likely be why it’s not working properly. Different promotion, structure, and such.

[nova summit]

And i've worked enough to know that I don't care if you worked for 2 or for 40 years, there are some professionals out there that say that and just don't know anything in the real world.

I'm not saying it's you, you don't seem like that, I just said that 40 years of work don't mean anything

[wicked lark]

ok, was trying to help - good luck then.

[wicked lark]

Everyone. We’re hoping for a hot fix.

[lime seal]

Yes, pray for hot fix before the devs go on vacation

[chrome spindle]

is there a console command to restart the server from the Server Manager?

[errant parcel]

Not positive but you can create a savegame then load the savegame which essentially restarts it

[wicked knot]

if its set up as a service, quit works

[spare zealot]

anyone have any good combo's for the new settings, IE set every node to random, set higher node values so we get more normal/pure more often, decrease power usage but increase elevator parts cost to 2x

[wicked lark]

That’s purely subjective. Some people do one setting and I look at it as torture

[wicked lark]

I run in docker - set to restart so quit does. Otherwise not that I know of.

[spare zealot]

i was hoping for subjective answers 😉

[tacit tusk]

Hi everyone, how’s it going?

I’m running a Satisfactory server on Linux with Ubuntu 24.04.
I used LinuxGSM to create the server and it has been working fine.
It’s on the experimental version and the save already has a bit over 900 hours.
Everything was fine until recently — now it stays online for only a few minutes and then crashes.

I tried updating the server, but it was already on the latest version. I ran a file check and nothing changed.
I also updated LinuxGSM, but it was already up to date.
Finally, I updated Ubuntu and rebooted, but that didn’t fix it either.

The logs didn’t make it clear what the issue could be.
Any tips?

[tacit tusk]

Drone crash server? 😮

[steel fjord]

Is anybody else on experimental having to authenticate (re-enter password) every time they close the game?

[mild thunder]

i am not on experimental, but your not the first comment i have seen asking about re entering password every time

[steel fjord]

Good to hear, my set up is a little strange so was wondering if it was something on my end lol

[carmine comet]

Hello again.
My server seems to be going well. I can connect to it via my mobile hotspot. But when my friend tries to join the game he gets stuck on the respawn_sequence.bat screen.
I see his character model stand up and he can spin, he can hear sounds, but he's stuck on the respawn_sequence.bat screen.

Any suggestions?

[rare glacier]

I am the friend, this is my log file

[carmine comet]

This is the server log

[hidden forge]

stuck on the respawn_sequence.bat screen
-> symptom of ReliablePort being blocked/unreachable
if you can reach it via hotspot it is probably a problem on @rare glacier side, probably the ISP blocking the port. many such cases

[quiet smelt]

Does anyone know how to update a net4players server to Experimental branch?
We want the car update 🥲

[carmine comet]

Yeah, we suspect as much, either the router or ISP blocking port 8888 since I'm guessing the server initiates communication on that port. We haven't done a packet capture yet to confirm.
We've replicated the issue with 2 additional ISPs as well.
I think the fix will be setting up a VPN and then all the traffic to and from the server will be tunneled through that. At least to get the server playable.
And then I can do some packet captures and trace routes to try solve it.

Thanks for having a look.

[deep turret]

first try by changing what port you use

[humble smelt]

Got satisfactory server running on docker on Linux
Also have a windows server that has been running for months and friends have played on it without issue.

Port forwarding set up
Ports 7777 and 8888 are open to windows
7778 and 8889 are routed to 7777 and 8888 on Linux
All port rules are set to TCP/UDP

Trying out docker to see how it handles.

I can connect to docker on local network no problem.
Friend can authenticate to docker but when he clicks join it goes to a loading screen forever and backs out.

Thoughts?

Running 1.2 on both servers and clients

[hidden forge]

You are remapping the reliableport without informing the server about it

The Server tells the Client on what port the reliableport is reachable, it still thinks its via 8888

[humble smelt]

External is 8889, internal is 8888
Server shouldn’t see a difference… though I am not a networking expert… I could try changing the internal ports.

Aka, my router takes the traffic from 8889 and sent it to LAN on 8888

[hidden forge]

Yes, and the server tells the client "my reliable port is on 8888"

[humble smelt]

OHHHH SHOOT! Ok yeah thanks that just clicked haha

[opaque gorge]

man trains be weird some times, now sure how but its 3 in 1 I can use any of them to pull the load but if I dismantle it, then it just crashes my game.

[uneven lance]

Does this fix it as im trying to upload a new save and it still starts with out the one baording and in tier 2

[mild thunder]

Train dismantling crashing is a known experimental bug.

[mild thunder]

something changed in one of the last patches that even a new save from solo, skips forward through the onboarding automatically on load on dedicated servers.

[carmine comet]

Yeah, we tried changing the main and reliable ports, no effect.

[cyan loom]

Hey, I've been running a dedicated server on my LAN using wolveix's container. It's been working perfectly for a couple months. Last night it's fine now, suddenly today I can't connect. I receive "Failed to connect to the server API." All of the obvious troubleshooting steps like checking if ports are open are all normal as nothing has changed on the server from yesterday. Now I'm out of ideas. The logs from the client device reveal a little that I can share.

[hidden forge]

Is the host IP still the same?

[cyan loom]

Yes, the server is a static IP on my LAN. I can remove the server from the server manager and re-add it and it does list it and show the ping but can't get any other details or join.

[hidden forge]

Ping means UDP is going through, so something is blocking the TCP port

[cyan loom]

the logs from my client show this. Something TLS handshake related although I don't know what could have caused it. It was fine one evening, I disconnected then the next day I can't connect.

[dusty ore]

I dismantled a train and our experimental server crashed lmao

Known or did I screw something up

[mild thunder]

Known issue

[mild thunder]

Is it possible that your server has been up for 1 year? Are both the server time and your computers time correct?

If both devices times are correct, then check the certificate using a web browser. If the certificate is expired then you will have to renew/get a new one. Easiest way I know is to stop server then delete the server settings file then restart server. You will have to re setup everything in the server manager in game though.

[cyan loom]

The satisfactory server has not been up a year, only since march. Although I notice the times on the logs are hours off from the real time they actually happened. That was something I was considering so I'll look into it

[cyan loom]

although the server hardware itself is just about 1 year old now, but none of the other services it's running have had any issue.

[surreal badge]

Hey, I set up a Satisfactory server a while ago, and I usually play in an offline world but I decided to reopen my server but I dont remember the auth passwd I put for admin rights. The question is simple, Is there a way to change it from the server files or anything like that?
Im running server 1.1 on Ubuntu server 24.04 LTS

[mild thunder]

Server password is stored in the server settings file, so you will have to stop the server, delete the server settings file, then restart the server, it will reset everything that you setup through the in game server manager.

[surreal badge]

What file exactly? I dont know where to find it, I only got to the ones in the image but no more

[wicked knot]

In the save files folder. Serversettings.<port>

[surreal badge]

That file looks like its encrypted. Opening it with nano only shows random characters

[mild thunder]

yeah the file is, that is why the only option is to delete it and then re setup the server settings

[weak sundial]

Hi all! New here and to the game, and I’m trying to get a dedicated server up and running.

I’ve got servers running for Palworld, return to Moria, enshrouded, Valheim, Minecraft and now I’m hoping to give satisfactory a go!

I have everything routed the exact same way my other working servers are set up in my Ubiquiti router settings so things should be solid there…. However when I go to my non server gaming rig I can’t log in, and no one else can see the server online.

But when I go to my windows 11 old gaming rig that runs all of the servers, I can log in with the ip and port no problem and it says it’s up and running and I’m able to join.

Does anyone know what would cause it to appear live solely locally vs online across the board?

[wicked knot]

at first glance, port forwarding in the router. Make sure whatever guide you use isnt like 3 or 4 yrs old. Check pins for current one

[weak sundial]

Is it 7777 or all three still?

I don’t have a guide pulled up but is that what you mean?

[mild thunder]

7777 tcp and udp and 8888 tcp for defaults

[wicked knot]

7777 UDP, 7777TCP, and 8888 TCP by default

[weak sundial]

Motha fuggin noted, one sec

[wicked knot]

GPT has been giving bad advice lol

[weak sundial]

And soooo many outdated articles lol

[weak sundial]

@wicked knot sooo updated those and having the same exact issue still

Any thoughts?

Does it still have to be on the experimental version?

[wicked knot]

as long as the server version and the client version match.

getting "server name pending" usually indicates 7777UDP is OK, but 7777TCP is still closed.

Getting the server name, but still not getting in is usually 8888 blocked

some virus hueristics may see it as "virus like activity" since it responds on a different port than originated

differe3nt HW takes different things. You seem to be familiar with yours. There is something about "edge traversal" that may need to be enabled

[weak sundial]

Interesting. Ok I can look into that! I set up a separate port forward specifically for 7777 tcp and udp instead of having the combo selected and still just getting server name pending.

Edge traversal is up next! Thanks dude!

[weak sundial]

wasn't it, i can't even begin to describe the fuck shit that was happening but i got in and we are good! Thanks for the help!

[frigid plover]

what's an aestetically pleasing way to move power other than power lines?

i don't really like how they rarely have the chance to be in a straight line so it looks a bit sloppy

[karmic cairn]

Trains? The stations and tracks transfer power if im not missremembering

[frigid plover]

i mean connecting my fuel plant to my factories across the map

[karmic cairn]

yeah so if you have a train picking up plastic or some polymer product from that fuel plant then eveything else connected to that network will get powered?

[heady perch]

yes

As long as there is a station at every point you are interested in connecting, from which to take energy, it doesn't matter if you use it as long as there is

The steel rails transfer energy, the station is for you to connect a wire and branch it out to whatever you need

[young urchin]

im having issues on my dedicated server, someone can help me?

[hidden forge]

what issues?

[final oracle]

Hello i have a question, when i try to connect to my friend's server i have this.
He opened his 7777 port but when he try to open on the router the 8888 he can't because the box need a port > 16384. (16384 is used for the redirection of 7777) What he need to do ?

[mild thunder]

Use startup arguments to change the ports into the available range.

-Port=7777 -ReliablePort=8888

[final oracle]

we already do a .bat with : start "" "FactoryServer.exe" -log -Unattended -Port=7777 -ReliablePort=8888

[mild thunder]

So change the ports to something in the available range then and change firewall rules to the new ports

[final oracle]

so if i understand. For example we define 16384 for 7777 and 16385 for 8888 so -Port=7777 -ReliablePort=8888 become -Port=16384 -ReliablePort=16385 ?

[mild thunder]

Yeah

[final oracle]

okay we try it, thx

[hidden forge]

Where is your server hosted?

[young urchin]

pinehosting, but also tried on our own server and didnt work

[hidden forge]

If you tried self-hosting, can the one hosting try to join useing the internal IP?

[young urchin]

yes, we eventually managed to get in but we had a lot of other bugs like we cant see the stuff in the belts, we are not sure if its only visual or not but basically belts have like holes between items e where there should be other items and there arent. Also belts that should be moving appear to not be.

also blueprints being invisible sometimes and we need to restart the sv to be able to see them

i think experimental rn is just fucked

[heady egret]

Hello ! I have a steam linux satisfactory server do you know how to disable mob AI ?

For context, my server crashes when I build my conveyor highway auto connection (18 conveyor) and ChatGPT tell me it's because it's that there is too much calculation at once like all the voxel, AI mob and other things and apparently by disable the AI of the mob we can drasticly reduce calculation. Any tips ?

[hidden forge]

change the hostility in your game settings

[heady egret]

how ?

I have the server settings but i don't see any hostility stuff in it

[hidden forge]

game settings, not server settings

[heady egret]

i don't think it will affect my server... i will try

[mild thunder]

could also try posting the log after a crash, see if anything pops out to folks here

[wicked knot]

options >> gameplay. It's an individual setting in the client

[mortal stream]

Is there a ready docker image for an satisfactory server or do I need to make one?

[hidden forge]

There are multiple, reliable one is made by wolveix

[heady egret]

I recommend wolveix too ; it's a ready to use docker ; just remember to configure all tjhe port needed on your livebox (or router)

[burnt saffron]

i recommend wolveix docker container, works perfectly, no issues with it.

[jagged nimbus]

Ahoy pals! I tossed a dedicated server via steamcmd on an old desktop that I put ubuntu desktop on -- I've had no issues getting it started but I was wondering if there were any best practices/optimization tips anyone might have?

I'm on vanilla experimental 1.2 if that makes any difference

[fair vortex]

Hi, first, sorry for my english, not my first language :p

I m having an issues with dedicated server, the one with invisible blueprint, my game session has a << ' >> character in it and I dont know how to change it
In so many tuto it said I just have to change the save name on my server, but the SESSION name still the same and at next autosave, previous name with it
In the menu, the session name has an icone like a directory one, but in my server files, all the save are in the \SaveGames\server directory, there is nothing with the session name except de save file itself but I already tried to modify it, no change

Thanks for your help 🙂

I also tried the SaveWithNewSessionName [save name] [new session name] console command but nothing happened, no error message idk if I wrote it correctly

[mild thunder]

1. Save
2. Download save to local computer
3. Load Save on local computer
4. use the menu to change session name
5. Save with new name
6. upload new save to server
7. load save with new session name on server

[wicked knot]

uh
4a. Click "Apply"

Can someone give me some advice on running a Satisfactory server on the free tier of Oracle Cloud?

I've tried using the docker containers i've seen online, but It seems that RHEL 8.10 does not support docker. Is there another way?

Edit: I know almost nothing about Linux. I just already have this VM setup from a different tutorial where I made a dedicated Minecraft server (which I've turned off and want to make a Satisfactory server now)

[hidden forge]

It is not a RHEL or Docker issue, it is a CPU issue.

The free tier VMs of Oracle are running on ARM CPUs (think Smartphones) while satisfactory is made for x86-64 (AMD/Intel) so the code cannot run natively on the CPU.

You either need to tinker yourself, use one of the few handful docker images with an integrated interpreter or switch to an AMD/Intel platform

Minecraft is running on Java, which has an arm jvm build, that is why that worked lime you are used to

[limpid gust]

I tried using a couple different docker images and got all the way to the last step of just running the server, but the command to run it was something like:
"screen -dmS docker ..."

And after a lot of googling, I was unable to install screen or docker to the system.

[hidden forge]

weird guide. just start the container as detached with the -d argument and if you need a shell inside it run docker exec -it <ID> sh

[limpid gust]

What I'm trying to say is that any command that involves "docker" fails because the command doesn't exist because I can't install docker

[hidden forge]

did you follow the official guide?
docs.docker.com/engine/install/rhel/
if it still does not work then see my first post

[limpid gust]

Yes, and switching to AMD/Intel and keeping it free with enough resources isn't possible is it? I thought the free tier of Oracle Cloud barely gives you any RAM on those platforms?

Thanks for trying, I guess I just will have to play peer-to-peer

[formal dove]

is there any way to get a free dedicated server

[smoky dust]

Run it on your pc

[formal dove]

that doesnt thelp..

[smoky dust]

Why not

Run the server on your pc

Otherwise I don't really see a free way

[formal dove]

do u have a guide for that

[smoky dust]

Nope it's probably pretty complicated

[wicked knot]

check the pinned posts here in this channel

[formal dove]

can someone teach me how to setup a docker server

[hidden forge]

1. install docker
2. pull image
3. start image

[real marlin]

you guys know any good hosting because our save is killing the indifferent brocolli dedicated host the server tick is falling under 20 here's the behemoth save lol

[fiery shard]

Idk it can handle our save pretty well

[mild thunder]

one of the people I helped reduce lag a long while ago, was they used a ton of blueprints in an area, and i just used SCIM to make a megaprint of the area and then delete it and then reimport it, seemed to reduce the lag of the area on their save. not sure if it still helps or would apply to your save or not.

[formal dove]

is indifferent broccoli free

[fiery shard]

nope

[formal dove]

whats the price

[fiery shard]

13$/month

theres a 2 day free trial

if you wanna check if it works

[formal dove]

I port forwarded, used steamcmd and launched the server but my friends still can’t join

Why is that?

[mild thunder]

at what point in the joining process are they failing? and what error message are they getting?

[formal dove]

I did port forwarding stuff and opened the server, it worked for me but doesn’t work for others

I gave them the uh public ip

[wicked knot]

what ports did you forward?

[mild thunder]

knowing what part of the joining process and error message that was received gives direction for where the issue is. like are they able to add it to the in game server manager or getting stuck on a loading screen have different possibilities for where the issue could be. unable to even add it to the server manager, might mean you don't have an actual public ip, or if stuck in a loading screen, maybe missed the other port needed.

[formal dove]

When they add it to the server manager it adds a server that’s not mine (it has no name)

This is what he’s getting

[wicked knot]

that would be the 7777 TCP port blocked

[mild thunder]

first thing i would do is make sure you actually have a public ip, use google to search "what is my IP" and verify that is the same on the WAN port of your router.

after that, make sure if hosting on windows, that allow edge traversal is on for the firewall rules that you created for the server.

[formal dove]

Wdym by this?

[formal dove]

I only see ipv4 there

I already did the edge traversal thing btw

[mild thunder]

did the IPv4 match up between the router WAN and what was on google? i did have to click on one of sites to get the info, i used the ipinfo one.

[formal dove]

Do I have to physically check my router or can I go in the website for my router

[mild thunder]

you can go to the website for it

[formal dove]

Alright one sec

Is it called “WAN IP”

?

[mild thunder]

usually

[formal dove]

Not ipv4?

[mild thunder]

could be listed as WAN IPv4

depends on your router

[formal dove]

Uhhh

[mild thunder]

the router will usually have 2 ips on it, one that usually starts with a 192.168. and another one

probably found on a status page

[formal dove]

chatgpt told me something about a CGNAT or whatever

[mild thunder]

one starts with a 100 im guessing

[formal dove]

yup

[formal dove]

so I can’t host a server or

[mild thunder]

not with port forwarding

[formal dove]

Is there any way to get rid of cgnat

[mild thunder]

ask your ISP for a public IP, that can cost money, mine is about 10 a month

[formal dove]

well shit I’ll see what I can do

I’ll call them up in the morning

[mild thunder]

other options would be like a peer to peer service, or a port forwarding, though some will also cost money, and then some will require everyone in the group to put something on their computer for it to work, i prefer just getting a public IP for hosting

[formal dove]

I did get a recommendation from chatgpt called “zero tier”

apparently u connect with people to the same virtual network and u get a ip generated by them

But I can’t convince most people to download that 😭

[mild thunder]

there are a few services out there that just you can connect to then the ip you give out is from that service and it routes it back to you

[formal dove]

did u check zerotier

[mild thunder]

i have never looked into the services much as i haven't needed them

[formal dove]

Oh aight

They are free tho

[quick flower]

Is it possible to have more than 4 players on a server?

[mild thunder]

yes

[thin belfry]

Idk, try playit.gg. It’s a tunneling service. Making a “tunnel” between your server and most of the times a server in Germany, that gives you a public ip for people to use.

Whenever someone plays on your server:
them - tunnel - server in Germany - tunnel - your server

You might experience higher ping, but it’s free

[mild thunder]

I think they changed it to require the premium recently for playit

About a 1/2 a year ago or so

[formal dove]

im having an issue with playit

the msi (installer) im running isnt working

its getting errors

[quick mist]

When looking for help with errors, much more helpful to those who might assist you, and similarly more likely to get you a useful response than saying "I'm getting errors" is to actually show the actual error you're getting, verbatim; ideally with the steps you follow to cause the error to be shown.

[upbeat pagoda]

i have an AMP dedicated server running on windows 11 pro x64. with playit tunnel to port 7777 as a TCP UDP connection. i can connect to the server from inside my intranet but not throught the playit tunnel. it keeps giving me a "your connection to the host has been lost" error. this is weard to me. please help me find a soluation to this

[wicked knot]

it also needs to 8888TCP port, or it can be redefined to a port range playit provides?

[upbeat pagoda]

Oh so I need two tunnels?

Ah. Ok

[upbeat pagoda]

@wicked knotdo you think that you can get in a voice chat iwht me and help me understand what im doing worng with playit?

[mild thunder]

are you using randomly generated ports from playit?

[upbeat pagoda]

yes but im ajusting them when i go and type it into satifactory

and it finds the server. i just cant connect to itt

[mild thunder]

i havnt talked someone through this since before they made the changes a while back. first step is to let playit generate the 2 tunnels, one with tcp/udp, and the other with TCP. to make it easy you dont want the tunnels to swap ports, so if they give you 12345 you want that to hit port 12345 on your server. once the tunnels are created you modify the startup script for your server to include those ports -Port=TCP/UDP -ReliablePort=TCP change where it says tcp/udp and tcp to the port numbers

[upbeat pagoda]

i dont know how to do that with me running the dedicated server through AMP.

ugh.... this is just going to be a mess. becouse amp gives me what ports its expecting a connection on. and ive allwase gone into playit and told it to connect to 127.x.x.x:xxxx

[mild thunder]

that works for the default 7777 tcp/udp port, but the server tells the client where the other TCP port is, so you have to match it up

[upbeat pagoda]

ok. i undrstand that. but how do i get to the startup scrypt for the amp instance?

[mild thunder]

i don't use amp, so unsure of how it works

[upbeat pagoda]

AH....

i was using it becouse it controled all of the memory and everything in a nice neat package. and it ran on linux

but thakyou for infomring me. now i know what to search for

[mild thunder]

im using Pterodactyl

[wicked knot]

#patch-notes message

it can be done, its complicated, and now you know as much about it as I do

[upbeat pagoda]

well crap

thanks.... ill figure it out form here. i just wanted help thanks guys

[mild thunder]

so, maybe can do it via the engine config file

[upbeat pagoda]

so do i need to bind it to the new tunnel address? or just the tunnel port? becouse playit is allready switching the port internaly

[mild thunder]

so instead of matching the ports like i talked about where 12345 goes to 12345 on server, if you change the -1 in the config file to the port they give you it might work?

[upbeat pagoda]

oh ok

let me look

[mild thunder]

you might have to add that full section manually into the file though

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

[hidden forge]

-ReliablePort is what the server listens on
-ExternalReliablePort is what the server tells the client to connect to.
By default it is ExternalReliablePort = ReliablePort = 8888
If the port stays the same in a tunnel, adjust only the ReliablePort, if there is remapping done set both
IP stays the same as the base port

[upbeat pagoda]

Fixed it. Thanks you peoples

[placid radish]

guys any have this problem with pterodactyl ?

[wicked knot]

seriously, google knows most of these errors

[placid radish]

I clearly searched for it, I talked to the AI ​​and I didn't find any solution...

[hidden forge]

Try another egg

[placid radish]

Do you have any? I couldn't find any; I used two that I found on Google and they didn't work.

[hidden forge]

I dont use ptero, so no sorry

[tepid comet]

LogStringTable: Warning: Failed to find string table entry for 'Player_UI' 'BuildMenu/Tabs/Cheats'. Did you forget to add a string table redirector?

what's up with that message in the dedicated server output window?

what tab for cheats?

[deep turret]

and it still doesn't say it can be because no space left

[tepid comet]

how do I get that tab? 😄

[deep turret]

did you check you have enough space left where it installs it ?

[placid radish]

im using pterodactyl , main pc have 2 m2 960gb and i have only 1 minecraft server with 100gb space.

i try other games and all its fine.

[mild thunder]

Do you have the bad version of docker by accident? There was a version that broke steam. Read the pinned help thread on the pterodactyl discord.

[mild thunder]

i just updated a server using the egg from the pterodactyl egg site and it works.

[runic oriole]

ive never used pterodactyl but i installed recently on docker

i can't say what exactly fixed my issues but i could not get it to run on my brand new ubuntu 26.04 vm. i ran the same exact compose file on my ubuntu 24.04 and it worked first try

no console in that image either. didn't make the effort to add one but im pretty confident it was not my hosts dns

[runic oriole]

i fixed my newer one searching this. that's what it was for me.

    security_opt:
      - seccomp=unconfined

newer kernel and docker restricted some things that were needed to reach steamcmd

[worldly creek]

Hello! In the past (around the 1.0 release I want to say, and before) I ran the wolveix satisfactory docker image as a statefulset on my k8s cluster on Talos without issue. Friend recently asked if I could host a server, figured it'd be no problem to just restart that server which I'd suspended by setting replicas to 0.

Not so lucky. I was able to connect to the game once, but no one else was able to, and now all of us are getting kicked back to the main menu with Your connection to the host has been lost.

I tried creating a new statefulset, pvc, service, etc. as well, with the same result.

[silk rampart]

hi guys how can monitor my server's performance? like i usually just look at btop and logs and everything is fine but it would be nice to have some stats maybe on client... i tried those stat commands from the ingame console but some work and some dont

also i guess those commands are just for client anyways

i guess really not a whole lot i can do

[civic burrow]

The in-game console commands are mostly client-side and won't give you a good breakdown of the dedicated server's actual health. If you are already checking btop and logs via SSH, you are seeing the OS resources, but not the actual game loop performance.

Through the API, you can fetch live data like the actual TPS (Ticks Per Second)

That app is called Manager for Satisfactory, it's on Google Play, you can try it if you want.

[silk rampart]

do you were this fetches data from id like to just look at the tps stat

i hoped that since you can already upload saves to your server from client maybe you could also see stats in real time while you play with those commands or smt

i was already amazed by how good it was but maybe its too much like this :p

[civic burrow]

Dont worry, it´s not complex at all

The app does all the hard work

Just put IP/pass

If you want see in detail check the wiki https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_servers/HTTPS_API#QueryServerState

The value you are looking for is AverageTickRate

spoiler: the app manage saves too

[runic oriole]

whats your servers single core passmark? that's the main driver for performance on game servers since it's largely single core

mines 1800 and performance is good could be better

[silk python]

any way to get it to where others can join server if on nas?

[runic oriole]

Nas? Like net work storage?

Some of them do have docker but with game servers you really need 1800 passmark single core+

[silk python]

i do have it working but im only on able to join

[runic oriole]

What system are you hosting on?

If local is working then it's going to be a nat and or firewall issue

[silk python]

ugreen dx6800plus

i think ive set all the ports open

[runic oriole]

You need to port forward on your router to your Nas ip

[runic oriole]

The Nas needs this but to get through your nat you must port forward

[silk python]

they show to be open

[runic oriole]

That has i5 1235U it will be very good for game hosting

[runic oriole]

Port forwarding isn't open or closed. It's how your router knows where to send traffic.

You will need to log into your router and find it

[silk python]

i was able to do that

[runic oriole]

I did see something about steam networking in experimental not sure if that's on main. That might work too

[runic oriole]

Check your Nas firewall it could be setup to block by default

[silk python]

i think i got that going too

[runic oriole]

Check what's my ip on Google. Make sure you don't have a carrier grade nat

Moving to here to not blast main chat

[silk rampart]

Should be 2700 I’m running a ryzen 7 3700x

I observed I have a core at max 34% and 6gb ram used in the server when running just satisfactory

Should be a lot of headroom still

An autosave takes 0.8 seconds

[silk rampart]

Ty that’s what I was looking for 😄

[runic oriole]

You have to find something that can log the max. Most of them are running averages and completely miss when it maxes and stutters.

I doubt that's the problem though that should be more than enough.

I think I've noticed more lag on experimental.

[silk rampart]

Yeah when I’m building fast it definitely spikes I noticed with stuff like conveyors

[silk rampart]

Y I don’t really have a problem wanted to just start monitoring more as I’m expanding to a decent scale

Anyways I also have the option to stop hosting and just running locally on my pc with a 7800x3d and 32gb of ram which should be substantially better but I haven’t tried that

Server is basically my old pc XD

[civic otter]

Sorry to interrupt but those are peak stuff on your pc ram is expensive your lucky but just to know is it ddr4 or ddr5

And a ryzen 7800x3d is so peak

[civic otter]

.

And Ik I’m later just saying

[silk rampart]

Ddr5 ofc

You can’t use ddr4 it’s not even compatible with am5

And yeah I upgraded before the ai pandemic so I guess I’m lucky whatever

[civic otter]

You are lucky lol anyway uh enjoy what you were doing tho

[idle pecan]

Fwiw, I run a junk AIO pc motherboard as my server, I got it from an auction with a broken screen and just pulled the mobo and I remote into it to use it, you don't need crazy specs to run a satisfactory server. I have an entire city is factories equating to a mega factory and haven't had any performance issues. Yes, it's ghetto, but it works and it was basically free lol.

[eager aspen]

"junk" that cpu is decent though

[wicked knot]

That is all the server needs, and RAM.

[idle pecan]

I guess we have different ideas of junk lol

[idle abyss]

are you able to do dedicated servers on console

[eager aspen]

my laptop's running on a 3610QM, so yeah

[silk rampart]

and here i was considering buying a 9950x3d to upgrade from a 7800x3d lol

[runic oriole]

what did that cost at auction pretty solid for a home server

[idle pecan]

$30usd lol

[runic oriole]

Can't even get 8GB of RAM for that these days

[dim patio]

That sounds like I should update my server, it's running on a old i5-4570

[silk rampart]

Recycle old hardware when you upgrade your pc

[brittle pilot]

I use a VPS which costs me about 4 EUR per month, 8vCPU and 16GB of ram :D

[brittle pilot]

wait fr? I swear I saw a motherboard by ASRock which has both DDR4 and DDR5 slots, I think it was Am5

[hidden forge]

AM5 is DDR5 only

[hidden rock]

Hmmm i actually need some answers from the ded server players.
Has anyone playing on 1.2 on ded servers noticed fluids acting differently to how they were acting before?
I only have some memories from a while ago playing on dedicated servers and on exp currently it feels quite a bit weirder than before

[runic oriole]

I've only played 1.1 and experimental but haven't had any issues so far with fluids

[hidden rock]

hmm doesnt help me that much. i need 1.2 data
but thanks. at least 1.1 seems to have been fine still

[runic oriole]

Isn't experimental 1.2

[hidden rock]

yes

oh wait i didnt read right

you played 1.1 and exp.... on servers?

[runic oriole]

Only on dedicated using the docker

[runic oriole]

What issue are you having with it now

[hidden rock]

im only collecting data.
It seems that the flow rate display / fullness display can get a bit weird on larger dedicated server saves.
But a single data point alone isnt enough

[runic oriole]

I don't pay much attention to that just calculate out my use and set it and forget it. Not had any issues running at 100% in either version

[eager aspen]

For satisfactory? Yeah i doubt you'd need that

[eager aspen]

It's lga1700

[silk rampart]

Just in general

When ddr5 come at a decent price again I guess I’ll buy some cpu like that and gift the 7800x3d to friend or put in the server (doubt it tho cause I’d need new mobo and rams as well and it’s just wasted money)

[runic oriole]

has anyone played with 4 much? does it tax the server a lot more or is it mainly just extra networking?

[lost kernel]

any open servers with space for 2?

[worldly creek]

played with 3 a ton without any issues at all. Dedicated server 11th gen i5, typical RAM use was around 10GB. Don't see a massive increase in resource utilization with additional players, but processor usage can climb.

[ornate fjord]

[junior jungle]

How to Increase Dedicated Player Limit

Currently, dedicated servers do not generate config files, so you will need to create your own as below:

Replicate Game.ini with the

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=X

Line in it, where X == the number of players.

Place it in
Windows
FactoryGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer
Linux
FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer

[burnt blaze]

Yay!

So the server must be saving some sort of config somewhere since I can restart it and it remembers everything. However, i cannot seem to actually find the config

[lofty latch]

I've already added support to AMP 🙂 Verified that it works with the stock image.

feel free to contribute your dedis knowledge to the wiki tutorial, ping me if you'd need any help (I'll be sleeping now though, so can't help until 9+ hours from now)

There is a config file in appdata, but it's not editable.

[merry bolt]

Is there a way to tell the server to store things locally rather than app data?

[fickle zinc]

They are working on an official docker

[loud saddle]

fair, but for any server management I'd just go with pure linux, windows server sucks 😄

[visual willow]

yep, almost

just doing final touches

[modern shoal]

Perfect

[lofty latch]

about 40% of my user base are Windows, partly because there's a lot of games that don't have Linux servers

[flat mirage]

Do y'all know if the steamcmd the only way to set them up currently? I can't see where they mentioned a timeline for the tool to appear on steam

[merry bolt]

yes i run Windows server specifically for that reason

[visual willow]

fucking terrified now I will have to write a CLI for ficsit.app

[lofty latch]

Well in the near future you won't need to run Windows for those 😉 I've been working on some cool stuff

things like The Forest and Space Engineers are targets I've been playing with

[languid quail]

there's always this one person

[lofty latch]

by using Proton to run them on Linux

[ornate fjord]

had to

[visual willow]

well, yeah, how do you expect there to be 2?

[steady hollow]

its not showing so far so steamcmd only rn

[flat mirage]

Thank you wasn't sure if it was just me

[lofty latch]

ezmode 😉

[frosty gale]

so basically lutris but for dedicated servers right

[winged sonnet]

How do you actually join a dedicated server in game via Epic?

[lofty latch]

Not far off 🙂

[acoustic gulch]

wher do I see the ip of the server

[lofty latch]

You need to be on the Experimental Branch

[winged sonnet]

cheers

[acoustic gulch]

I can connect using the local ip

jsut need to know the external for friends

[frosty gale]

hey wait..didnt you make mcmyadmin? lmao

[steel osprey]

He did :)

[worn heath]

how i can change port? ```

[worn heath]

but what with game port one?

[lofty latch]

That's me

hey @steel osprey - I already added it 😉

[steady hollow]

cant be changed rn

[lofty latch]

@frosty gale AMP replaced McMyAdmin some years ago since it handles lots of games

[glad mesa]

I can understand why you would want docker for like a swarm of servers or something but for one instance it's just easier to set up a service imo

[worn heath]

still server starts on default port [2021.10.26-18.25.03:385][ 0]LogNet: Created socket for bind address: 0.0.0.0 on port 7777

[visual willow]

completely disagree

but I might be biased

[steel osprey]

ignore These errors

[steady hollow]

the "minors arent allowed to use AMP software" part at the reg wasnt really swag of yours but gotta do what you gotta do ig

[lofty latch]

Of course they're allowed to use it?

[glad mesa]

it's literally a binary and a basic systemd service, what benefit you get from docker on a single server I just can't understand

[lofty latch]

What they're not allowed to do is purchase the Enterprise version because minors can't enter into a legal contract.

You don't need that for the consumer software >_< that's for businesses only

[steady hollow]

unless im miss- then I seem to be missing the download page

:thonk

[wraith pebble]

ok thx

[silent echo]

Question: When you configure the server to save after a player leaves, do those autosaves eventually overwrite each other? If so, how many does it keep before doing so? Hoping this may function to help combat any pranksters on my server that think it's funny to mass delete stuff.

[wraith pebble]

Quick question linux dedicated server. Where does the save game go?

[glad mesa]

I've used docker a lot and describing it as "everything just works" is pretty disingenuous to say the least. But I guess we'll know when the actual container comes out

[wraith pebble]

makes sense then, i am stupid, running this with 2 GB 😄

[steady hollow]

FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer

[fickle zinc]

question, do I need to open all 3 ports on my firewall for a friend to join or just the main query port?

[steady hollow]

all 3

[wraith pebble]

how can you load existing savefile with dedicated server?

[fickle zinc]

thanks

[steady hollow]

yeet it in the folder iirc

[glad mesa]

does your firewall software charge you per ports opened? 😄

[worn heath]

every port is UDP?

[grand geode]

not seeing it.....

[glad mesa]

yes

[wraith pebble]

thx

[glad mesa]

well I think so. I did both

[visual willow]

they are UDP

[fickle zinc]

no, but the least amount of ports opened the better IMO

[visual willow]

I've verified

[wraith pebble]

probably some control port is TCP

but i don't know

[visual willow]

sadly not

[steady hollow]

its related to your install folder

[steady hollow]

all are UDP/TCP

[worn heath]

ovh firewall and still its offline in game

[glad mesa]

unless you really love troubleshooting, if the instruction says open three ports you should probably open three ports

[frosty gale]

ufw disable goes brrr

thats normal?

[tacit fog]

https://youtu.be/Nn-1s87JJxc

[glad mesa]

I think so (by which I mean the red text which I assumed you meant)

[visual willow]

you forgot to inject 64bit LD

[steady hollow]

yes https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#SteamAPI_library_error

Dyno STFU please

[tacit fog]

dyno has 0 chill

[grand geode]

There a console for the dedicated server is there a way to trigger a save with it?

[steel osprey]

read docu

[lost plover]

Yes when you type in the admin password before you play on the server a save option in game will appear

[quaint acorn]

I'm no network engineer. Just successfully installed the Server on my Windows 2016 home server via SteamCmd. All seemed to install OK. However, when start the server I get a mixture of warnings and errors and then the window closes before I can copy/examine the text - any suggestions?

[lost plover]

But my server auto saves though

[worn heath]

server seems working but i cant see that server in servermanger ree, ports opened but no response

[lofty latch]

Run it in a command prompt rather than trying to run the exe directly.

[quaint acorn]

thanks, but I am via 'factoryServer.exe -log -unattended'

[cold dew]

just setup my Dedicated Server on server 2022 4x8 so far its running great! 2 players connected via lan

[violet stream]

Anybody got a lead on paid hosting?

[grand geode]

I suspectits reletive ot the working directory. What path does yours save to in linux? I will make the path and see if savegame shows up

[violet stream]

that has steam integration and would allow installation of the DS?

[merry bolt]

The server config file in appdata is just a standard ue4 save game file. Mine has just 5 properties in it:

mServerName: name of the server
mAutoLoadSessionName: name of the session to load
mAdminPassword: hash of the admin password
mClientPassword: hash of the client password
mServerSecret: some crazy long string with nothing but hex characters in it

[violet stream]

I want to throw money at smart people so I can just play.

[lost plover]

Let me check

[wraith pebble]

Where do the savegame go? I am on linux

[glad mesa]

try writing output to file. I'm not sure how different it is on Windows

[soft lion]

anybody a estimate on bandwith usage?

[quaint acorn]

good idea - did look for a log file in the server files, but couldn't find any

[glad mesa]

give it a day or two and there's gonna be a thousand shitty underspecced docker swarms you can pay to rent a server in

[violet stream]

delicious.

[cold dew]

my server average is 145Kbps

[lofty latch]

Install it via AMP 🙂

[lost plover]

I have no idea, it saves it somewhere

[visual willow]

actually using docker swarm

[lofty latch]

It runs on your own hardware, but the setup is fully automated

[visual willow]

I thought that meme had died already

[frosty gale]

im betting there will be alot of "satisfactoryhosting" domains bought up very soon™️

[normal current]

is anyone else unable to spot the dedicated servers even though you filter for tools?

[violet stream]

I tend to use my home hardware to render 3d all night long - can't run a DS on it or it explodes.

[lofty latch]

guess who owns them?

[visual willow]

can't wait to get my email flooded by hosting providers wanting an ad spot

[lofty latch]

along with /r/satisfactoryadmins and /r/satisfactoryservers

[frosty gale]

you?

[glad mesa]

you can grab it via steamcmd on windows and linux

[lofty latch]

correct

[normal current]

@glad mesa thx

[lofty latch]

I anticipated this months ago

[quaint acorn]

That did it. For other windows users: factoryServer.exe -log -unattended > myoutput.txt

[glad mesa]

amazing

[merry bolt]

i did not notice it mentioned in the setup doc on the wiki, but all ports are UDP

[visual willow]

Indeed, not sure why they list TCP/UDP

[frosty gale]

there are quite a few good ones still available 😉

[lofty latch]

there's a reason why I added support for it to AMP within minutes of it coming out xD

[wraith pebble]

anyone manages to load an existing save?

[quaint acorn]

In terms of windows firewall - for each of the three ports - do I need them all as open to inbound AND outbound?

[glad mesa]

"they" don't, it's a wiki https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers?type=revision&diff=39902&oldid=39900

[steady hollow]

yes

[worn heath]

I have all ports opened + i tried disabling firewall and same issue i cant connect to my server aka its not online in server manager

[visual willow]

I am aware, however the page was created by CSS

[lost plover]

Does anyone know to go enable nocost on the server so I can test stuff on it?

[fluid turret]

If you figure out how to load a save file then just use the save editor before you load

[winged sonnet]

Is anyone aware if being able to change the gameport is planned? seems silly being able to change the query port but not anything else

[merry bolt]

As long as you use the same session name for the server when you create a new game, you should be able to then replace the save file with some existing one that has the same session name, in theory. have not tried

[lost plover]

Yeah I have no idea where the save files are located

[wraith pebble]

i have not seen that file saved, how to properly shut down server?

[worn heath]

setup of dedicated server just hell

[frosty gale]

the server dont open some whone help me ?

[fluid turret]

quit in the console

[quaint acorn]

sorry - is it TCP or UDP I need to enable in Windows firewall?

[grand geode]

Ok so for me its putting the save file into "$USER/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server/Update5_autosave_2.sav"

[frosty gale]

i have that but when i click on the server is not open

[lost plover]

My server saves the files I have restarted multiple times and it starts up with the latest save

[merry bolt]

Save files are at %localappdata%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server on Windows

[wet pecan]

where to find server address

[lost plover]

it's the ip address to your server

[wraith pebble]

thx

[sterile echo]

I cant find dedicated servers in my library is that normal?

[lofty latch]

yes, you need to use SteamCMD

[glad mesa]

@sterile echo you can download it with steamcmd

[dense grotto]

i have same issue

[lost plover]

I just found where they save the games

[viscid narwhal]

To test the dedicated server, does the client currently have to be on the Update 5 Experimental version?

[sterile echo]

okay ty

[lost plover]

It's a hidden file

[lofty latch]

the private/friends only does nothing on the dedi anyway

[lofty latch]

yes

[worn heath]

i tried connecting via console command open and i see NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from <myip>:<port> in my server console and my game just crashed

[acoustic gulch]

I cant invite people unless it says friends only

[lofty latch]

you can't invite people at all - you give them the server IP/port and they connect that way

[viscid narwhal]

So I assume dedicated servers will not be backwards compatible with previous versions of the game ever then? Just update 5 onwards?

[worn heath]

then why ingame servermanager is not showing my server?

[frosty gale]

how to se the console

[timid slate]

So, the G-Portal servers, any ideas why I don't seem to be able to connect via Server Manager?

[upbeat owl]

Hey

[glad mesa]

correct

[steady hollow]

since you seem to be way ahead of me, have you checked if domain names work for connecting?

[glad mesa]

people have said they do

[visual willow]

localhost worked so I assume they resolve

[steady hollow]

good to know

[soft lion]

it's in the vid they do resolve domain names

[lofty latch]

yes they do

[soft lion]

so i guess using reverse proxy will allow you to run more than 1 server on a host

[lofty latch]

no - an RP won't help with that

[steady hollow]

You can't redirect ports yet

[lofty latch]

but you can run more than one server, the ports will increment by themselves

so it means you need to clear port 7777 and the other ports + n

bit of a mess in that regard

[frosty gale]

i dont see the console when i downloade the server frome steamcmd

[glad mesa]

if the game is hardcoded to expect a specific port you're gonna need more than one IP

[lofty latch]

It's not hardcoded to a single port - more just a single range

so it'll start at 7777 and make its way up for each server on the same system

[vocal barn]

anyone know how to solve this issue?

[frosty gale]

docker port mapping could also work right?

[lofty latch]

definitely could!

[soft lion]

no, they increment when in use, guess the serverqueryport is the only one you need to communicate back to the clients what ports they should use

[timid slate]

Hmmmmm. GPortal does not have the real Dedicated Servers I guess?

[lofty latch]

to the best of my knowledge only AMP based hosts already have the real dedicated servers because I just shipped the support out

Hostinger etc

[glad mesa]

so after giving it the query port it will try 7777 and if that's not the right server it will keep incrementing until it hits it? sounds hacky

[lofty latch]

yup

very h acky

[steady hollow]

if I had the funds I would absolutely make a satisfactory host

lol

[lofty latch]

they've got command line flags to specify them but it doesn't honor them just yet

[glad mesa]

a VPS is dirt cheap

[soft lion]

lot's of services do it like that, PS4-5 and stuff all use the same tactic

[steady hollow]

servers require ~6gbs of ram each

when idle

[lofty latch]

aye you'd need a dedi to host this

[steady hollow]

^

[quaint acorn]

Hmm - install onto Windows Server - is this a problem in the server startup?

[lofty latch]

no this is normal for now

[soft lion]

6GB when idle is a bit much if you ask me

[lofty latch]

you can ignore this, it'll still start and work

[latent crown]

anyone manage to figure out how to use an old multiplayer save in the server?

[rustic garnet]

How do I get my correct address and ip for my friend ?

[steady hollow]

your hosting provider should provide the IP address (please dont host on your computer, just use sessions for that!), the port is the default port

[soft lion]

google whatsmyip

[twin shadow]

steamcmd doesn't work for me

[lofty latch]

If you bought an OVH Advance APAC at £80/mo, you could run about 10x Satisfactory servers on it - sell them for £10/month each to make a £20/mo profit on the machine.

[burnt blaze]

p

[glad mesa]

of course "dirt cheap" is subjective but 4vCPU and 8GB is €30 a month on scaleway

[vocal barn]

anyone get the dedicated server to work on linux?

[glad mesa]

yes

[lofty latch]

yes - it works well

[visual willow]

yup

[frosty gale]

poggers another scaleway user 👋

[vocal barn]

i keep getting "ERROR! Failed to install app '1690800' (No subscription)"

[frosty gale]

get this error

[next sorrel]

can anyone tell me maybe in pm what i have to do to get dedicated servers on steam using satisfactory on epic games?

[lofty latch]

the steps are identical

[dense grotto]

my friend crashes on connect, guess have to play old fashioned way

[quaint acorn]

me too on windows server

[lofty latch]

you don't need to own the game on steam to download the dedicated server on steam

[steady hollow]

install steamcmd, and then run steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 +quit

[frosty gale]

ye mee to

[leaden osprey]

do dedicated servers fix any of the multiplayer related issues like placing ghosts or foliage thats not synced?

[steady hollow]

Doubt so lol

[glad mesa]

pretty optimistic to think dedicated servers fix anything at this point

[steady hollow]

if anything they're probably more buggy

[glad mesa]

they're experimental within experimental

[leaden osprey]

guess ill wait for MP untill 1.0 then

@lofty latch , @latent crown - have you guys installed the server on same machine as you main steam instal or on windows server?

[glad mesa]

will it run with ram + swap?

[frail burrow]

debian 10 🤔

i could add swap..

[latent crown]

i did on same machine for now

[lofty latch]

you quite often can't run the server on the same machine as the game

[steady hollow]

oh good lord no

So, stupid question, I have the game thru epic, since I bought it just before it got onto steam. Is there a way to run a dedicated server even though my license is thru epic? Or does it not validate the license for dedicated server sessions on steam?

[strange steppe]

How do I find the dedicated server tool on steam when I have satisfactory on epic only?

[quaint acorn]

I think @lofty latch set his up on a separate windows machine to his steam install

[viscid cedar]

you don't need a license to run the server

how can I find it?

[short flower]

[worn heath]

someone can help me with query port? its likely not working for me while other ones are just working

[cold dew]

mines running on server 2022

[quaint acorn]

thanks - have you actually done it though?

[short flower]

Windows 10 and Windows Server is pretty much the same (coming from an ex-server host), I use Ubuntu so i wouldnt use windows

[lucid jasper]

anyone know about the max player limit?

[quaint acorn]

thanks - helpful - did you get this error on server startup?

[lost plover]

4 people but I set mine to 10

[lucid jasper]

how do i increase the limit tho

[lost plover]

How to Increase Dedicated Player Limit

Currently, dedicated servers do not generate config files, so you will need to create your own as below:

Replicate Game.ini with the
[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=X

Line in it, where X == the number of players.

Place it in
Windows
FactoryGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer
Linux
FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer

[lucid jasper]

thx

[cold dew]

is your appid correct? seems like a login issue how are you launching the server?

[unique spoke]

They do, for me it just had no permissions to create them

[lost plover]

That was copied from someone else

Mine generated

[unique spoke]

Ah ok

[lofty latch]

when I installed it the configs were already there before starting it for the first time

but I did have to add the line for the player limit myself

[quaint acorn]

thanks again. I followed the guide here: https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers + then started the server with factoryServer.exe -log -unattended

[next sorrel]

i have this errors, are they normal?

[lost plover]

Yes I had to add the line to

[quaint acorn]

doesn't mention AppId

[lofty latch]

yes

[next sorrel]

😄

fast response

[lofty latch]

can I get a handful of people to test this server out? push it past 5/6 players or so

server address is just instaban(dot)com

default port

[visual niche]

can we make a ded server on epic ?

0_0

[lofty latch]

you use Steam for it - even if you own the game on Epic

[visual niche]

epic

[next sorrel]

can u tell me how to join my server right now?

[quaint acorn]

Oh - so these errors ARE normal?

[visual niche]

I see

where do I download it ?

[lost plover]

Anyone want to hop on my server to see if it works?

[lofty latch]

You need the Experiemntal branch

[lost plover]

Dm me

[visual niche]

me me me !

[jovial oar]

sure

[lofty latch]

using SteamCMD

[glad mesa]

steamcmd. read.

[lofty latch]

see the documentation

[next sorrel]

y i have but where do i find the ip or something in this long cmd paths

[short flower]

where are the linux server save files?

[lofty latch]

I don't follow you

[lofty latch]

~/.config/Epic

[short flower]

ah thanks

[lofty latch]

I'm gonna have to make AMP override the save directory because that's really not on >_<

[limpid wagon]

Has anyone been able to work out the lower limit for ram? I tried to spin up on my vps and its all very smooth right up until spawn map at which point it grabs just shy of 4 gigs and then halts, making more ram free helps so I assume it needs more

[short flower]

Not there, Im using a new user as steamcmd says so no root access

[lofty latch]

don't use root...

never run game servers as root

[short flower]

im not using root

i already said that

[storm galleon]

i can join if you want what is the adress ?

[short flower]

its a new user

[lofty latch]

have you started the server at least once and let it save?

[short flower]

yes....

[steady hollow]

6gb+

[cold dew]

running great so far on server

[lofty latch]

and what user are you logged in as on your terminal rightnow?

[short flower]

I dont have access to ~/

[lofty latch]

yes you do

[glad mesa]

?

[strange steppe]

SteamCMD sends an error

[lofty latch]

~/ means 'the home directory of the current user' - no matter what user you are

[lucid jasper]

without the steamcmd

[steady hollow]

we're talking about the actual software, you should look into #looking-for-group-old

[short flower]

either way, its not there and it saved

Me and my friend played for around an hour

[glad mesa]

@short flower ps aux, prove you're the user running the server

[strange steppe]

I already tried that, and it sent an error, it's there in the screenshot

[short flower]

what?

[cold dew]

you are supposed to save that code to a txt file then change that file into a bat and run it

[glad mesa]

ps aux | grep satis

^ paste output

[steady hollow]

please dont do that

[cold dew]

or run that each line at a time like Force_install_dir then do app_update

[steady hollow]

Just open pwsh7 like a sane human and run the damn thing

[cold dew]

you cant string them together

[short flower]

busy rn, cant

[glad mesa]

lmfao

[mighty fjord]

Can't configure my server, do you have the same error ?

[worn heath]

For me query port is not working thats just pain while trying to use my beacon port what happens just spam, even switching to have beacon port as query one and reverse its same thing -_-

[mortal scaffold]

are ports UDP or TCP?

[glad mesa]

probably network issues, i got that when i hadn't opened all the udp ports, or the steam lib isnt found

[steady hollow]

just open both kinds

[lofty latch]

UDP

game doesn't use TCP

[steady hollow]

I think people have said its UDP only but just be safe and go both

[mighty fjord]

i only open TCP PORT

thx guys

[mortal scaffold]

id prefer to open only whats needed if i can

[steady hollow]

wiki did say udp/tcp

[mighty fjord]

i will check that

[mighty fjord]

mb

[glad mesa]

again, it's a fucking wiki

the original article didn't say that

[steady hollow]

and the only source of truth i have seen so far

[mortal scaffold]

im going udp only, will report back findings

[fickle zinc]

for what its worth, I have only UDP opened and its working.
