how to get an existing savefile on my server?

[rich cargo]

well I was about to start working on a generic profile for amp... but I see now that will not be required 😛

[lofty latch]

I had one built within minutes of it coming out xD

[glad mesa]

~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server/ I guess

[frosty gale]

to get deticated servers its on steam right? I cant find it in tools on Steam

[glad mesa]

steamcmd

[steady hollow]

use steamcmd

[mighty fjord]

thx guys ❤️ , i'm a dick for not reading all documentation. Was too hype
Open UDP and TCP

[worn heath]

3x udp ports opened trying to connect to gameport its working, beacon one also but while connecting to query its just not working i tried switching query port with beacon and same thing WHERE IS issue? thats because idk query port is tcp?

[next sorrel]

do i have to puit this commands on steamcmd?

[steady hollow]

you need to provide port 15777 to the game

[twin shadow]

how can i join my friend with dedicate server?

[lost plover]

Are the people on epic having issues connecting to dedicated servers?

[cold dew]

nope

[steady hollow]

server manager >add server > add server details> ??? > profit

[glad mesa]

it's listening to UDP

[cold dew]

created a steam server connected with my epic game

[lost plover]

Yeah same I can connect but another person can't

[rich cargo]

afaik only ServerQuaryPort can be redirected right now, the other ports just increment automaticly

[glad mesa]

probably still firewall issues. could be blocked in more than one place

[cold dew]

are they on the same network? or are they remote from the server?

[lost plover]

Remote

[worn heath]

wdym blocked? i used my beacon port and i recevied spam of 100x logs in server console, i even tried switching and same issue

i use ovh firewall without any janky stuff on machine

[glad mesa]

I have no idea what a "beacon port" is, I'm just saying it's probably network related

[frosty gale]

Where do you finnd the server startup on steam?

[strange steppe]

@cold dew I did what you said, but it doesn't work

[glad mesa]

you already got an answer. steamcmd. read the wiki.

[rich cargo]

see how you have beacon port set to 8001 in this. that wont do anything right now, beacon port will still be 3333 according to the wiki

[lofty latch]

I think someone at Coffee messed up - using SteamCMD to download the server when you own the game on Epic works fine on Linux - but does not work right on Windows and it insists on you owning the game.

[mortal scaffold]

confirmed, its UDP, Dont need to have TCP open

[frosty gale]

Im not installing it on a headless right now

[glad mesa]

I got that error once on Linux, retried and it worked. Could be intermittent

[lofty latch]

hmm

might be a steam repo then thing

[rose valley]

I can tell I left out some crucial information from the wiki. Sorry about that guys. Is there anything else you're still trying to figure out?

[rich cargo]

sounds about right, just a perms issue. they should fix it soon.

[worn heath]

than using query port i used beacon one and in serverconsole i see that soo that port is opened

its no way its blocked

[lofty latch]

my users are giving me mixed reports about its behaviour

[glad mesa]

just want to say I love you

[rose valley]

Also sorry for the not so nice systemd example. It's all my lame ass could come up with. Not as good with linux as I'd like to be.

[clear birch]

Guys, i have a problem - my steamcmd says my app is installed but i cant find the directory it should have created

[steady hollow]

actually asked smth in #wiki-workers , if you could answer it here I'd be gratefuul. Also, thanks for the servers, and the fun!

the question: "what does the Beacon Port do? "

[glad mesa]

that's what wikis are for

[rose valley]

Feel free to delete the initial example. I agree the new one is much better.

[marsh dawn]

That means there is room for improvements 🙂

[glad mesa]

probably better if you do it if you want it to look official or whatever

[frosty gale]

Im a bit confused because it says you can find it on steam if your not using a headless

[rose valley]

Also about copying save games to the server. That's the big missing thing now. It'll come soon (tm).

[frosty gale]

but I can not find it

[rose valley]

It's not official though. I just wanted to bootstrap a community page.

[glad mesa]

yeah I just mean that "it looks better" means more from a coffeestainer than some random dude online I guess

[rose valley]

It looks like a lot of people have problems getting it through steam. I think it just takes a while for Steam's caches to propagete and for your steamdb to synchronize. Wondering if there's any way to force that...

[marsh dawn]

Is there a way to get it if you're on epic?

[clear birch]

...
Update state (0x5) verifying install, progress: 98.19 (4440406006 / 4522267131)
Success! App '1690800' fully installed.

But i cannot find the directory

[lofty latch]

Any chance of an honorary mention of installing it via AMP on the wiki? it automates it all already

[marsh dawn]

Got home like 20 min ago xD

[rose valley]

not (yet)

[glad mesa]

so far it looks like people have been able to get it via steamcmd on both windows and linux, I mean getting it graphically through steam seems like an edge case anyway for a server

[unkempt rapids]

What port does the other joining user use?

[lofty latch]

I've got the server on Epic, you can just fettch it via SteamCMD quite happily

[glad mesa]

I mean, it's a wiki. You can just put in a section explaining how to set it up

[lofty latch]

true that

[rose valley]

By all means, please make that mention yourself. It's in the spirit of a Wiki. And I have no experience with AMP myself so I am not in a good position to do that.

[steady hollow]

Hmm I'm getting 'No Subscription' errors on steamcmd when I run app_update 1690800

[lofty latch]

tl;dr - select "Satisfactory" and hit create xD

[steady hollow]

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

[frosty gale]

use anonymous acc

[limpid wagon]

@rose valley is there a known minimum memory requirement for the dedicated server? I've observed issues at 4GB

[frosty gale]

dont use your personal

never actually

[glad mesa]

I got that once on Linux and then I didn't when I re-ran the exact same command so I think it's a cache thing or something on their end

[rose valley]

lol that didn't take long

[lofty latch]

We were standing by ready for it, we had a configuration built and validated within minutes of the announcement 😉

[novel kernel]

Same here, steamcmd doesnt install it to the location mentioned 😦

[potent nacelle]

STFU

[steady hollow]

its just so that I can check the folder struct lol

on my personal machine

[glad mesa]

give the full command

[rose valley]

Actually I left that one out intentionally cause I kinda wanted to see how little people could get away with. It feels like at least 6Gb would be needed. Probably more with larger saves.

Sorry for experimenting on you all.

[steady hollow]

Huh, weird. Apparently logging out does work

[limpid wagon]

that's fine, that's what the experimental branch is for, thanks for the info

[lofty latch]

y u lik this?

[worn heath]

Where is issue? i changing both ports and ingame servermanager i have both server added with port 8000 and 8001, changing these ports i see its working because client tries to get data

[glad mesa]

I wonder how much of that is actually accessed. Like, how much you could get away with swapping to disk

[potent nacelle]

it wont help spamming the same shite

[steady hollow]

no hate intended but you've mentioned a whole lot of AMP since the damn thing launched :P

[lofty latch]

lol ok I'm done now then xD

[next sorrel]

guys, i am trying to get an existing savefile on my server i already hosted it with steamcmd and i already connected to it ingame now it tells me to either create or load a game,.. where do i put what command to get my savegame loaded?

[rose valley]

Most of it I would assume, from my current standpoint.

[frosty gale]

well I hope later I can find it in steam so I can run it and not do the steamcmd

[frosty gale]

once it's installed you can view the struct

[steady hollow]

bogdan we still need to know what beaconport is lol

[glad mesa]

maybe you could still get away with swapping if it's an SSD or something

[zinc saffron]

I dreamed about this day from a long long time ago

[steady hollow]

also open source rust Satisfactory server when™️

[worn heath]

for me query port is broken and its just annoying because its anything todo with firewall

[glad mesa]

why do you want to run a dedicated server graphically from steam

[merry bolt]

So i used the console command FG.NetworkQuality 2 to increase the value from 1 (medium) to 2 (high), and it seems to have caused the server to output all of the config ini files which were previously not present.

[vagrant dirge]

@loud saddle I'm on the same PC, and I'm using LocalHost with a port of 7777 to connect.

[steady hollow]

use 15777

[glad mesa]

🤮

[unkempt rapids]

What port can my friend use to join?

[steady hollow]

15777

[loud saddle]

in Jace's video it seems you don't even have to fill the port

[steady hollow]

^

[rose valley]

A UDP port for a secure communication channel. THat's what all the server management stuff go through. It's an encrypted channel that we use for controlling the server. Unlike 7777, which is the port used for all the gameplay stuff.

[worn heath]

my friend tried uses that https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/882984948527685672/902632442240852108/unknown.png and its working for him meanwhile for me nope i speaking about Query port ( game port i know its 7777 always )

[steady hollow]

Ah cool

[vagrant dirge]

That did it, thanks!

[timid slate]

G-Portal is taking their time 🥱

[steady hollow]

So 15777 is the initial contact, then 7777 is all the gameplay & 15000 is for admin, do I have that right?

[timid slate]

Woops. that mention wasn't meant to happen

[vagrant dirge]

Ooh, that makes more sense.

[rose valley]

Yeah. Basically 15777 tells the client where to find the beacon (15000) which then tells the client where to find the game (7777) and also provides the client with an authentication token that it can use to join the game.

[lofty latch]

Hostinger can host it already along with a few others

[clear birch]

Steam>force_install_dir ./satisfactory_dedicated/

Steam>app_update 1690800

[steady hollow]

Akamai's CDN is getting a hit today lol

[lost plover]

Does epic need to connect to steam to connect to a dedicated server?

[worn heath]

i tried using query port as 15777 and 8000/8001, even i used beacon port with 8000/8001 both are working then what now

[timid slate]

Doesn't look like they have a page for it?

[glad mesa]

you could try just doing the one-liner instead and see if it works better

[steady hollow]

wdym

[clear birch]

i did this because the one-liner had the same effect

[rose valley]

At the moment steam or epic are not involved with dedicated servers and don't know yet if they will be.

[steady hollow]

probably not

[clear birch]

running, installing, done - no folder

[glad mesa]

try an absolute path instead

[worn heath]

While using any port for queryport its not working, beacon works fine because i receiving logs in serverconsole when client tries to connect but beacon port is not made for that

[lost plover]

A person on epic can't ping my server but I can so I don't know what the issue is

[lofty latch]

It's part of their general game hosting stuff

[rose valley]

Actually beacon port is made for that but without the query port the game won't know how to reach the beacon.

[rose valley]

maybe you need to do some port forwarding?

[worn heath]

yea its needed but still in my case using query port or even changing its always closed while its never started udp server

[zinc saffron]

Haha very very experimental means : Segmentation Fault at end of program

[frosty gale]

a must, if you have a home network: port forwarding

[clear birch]

also i get this all the time - is this bad? saw in some forums that it can be ignored

Steam>app_Warning: failed to init SDL thread priority manager: SDL not found

[zinc moon]

setup and running, good job on deds so far CS!

[glad mesa]

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/7036

[loud saddle]

yo @ Bogdan, can you confirm or deny that "you don't need to input the port into the game UI"?

[lost plover]

It’s on a server the ports work I can connect to it with the ip

[rose valley]

And are you outside the network?

[steady hollow]

The default port is autofilled (in the server add screen) so you shouldn't need to unless you change it

[lofty latch]

I have updated ze wiki

[rose valley]

What he said. You only need to change it if you override the query port.

[loud saddle]

ah ok

[clear birch]

anything for arch?

[lost plover]

Yes

[loud saddle]

I saw Jace's video only and there the UI looks different apparently

[lofty latch]

btw are we getting the option to override all of the the ports soon? Right now according to the docs it doesn't honour the command line flags

[lost plover]

The server is in a data center I buy

[glad mesa]

if you're running arch you should be comfortable googling this yourself 😉

[loud saddle]

(but still trying to help troubleshoot)

[clear birch]

like, i mean i did this
pacman -S lib32-gcc-libs
like the steamcmd wiki said

[steady hollow]

Yeah I have the update installed, I got it while the patchnotes video way half-way

[clear birch]

=D

[glad mesa]

if it can't find it probably you need to symlink or set the LD_ env

[rose valley]

Then for some reason he cannot reach that IP. Looks like a network issue of sorts not necessarily related to the server itself. Can he reach any porta on that computer (ssh for example)?

[steady hollow]

you should probably check if anything can reach port 15777 on their IP

[lost plover]

He said he could ping the IP in cmd but not in the game

[rose valley]

Yeah... got a few things in quite late.

[clear birch]

hm anyways - absolute path worked - had it typed in first and switch to the one i sent above should have tried both before asking

thanks for your help =D

[burnt blaze]

So I tried renaming an existing save to the server created save, but it still won't detect it and only allows me to create a save. Anyone able to get the server to use an existing save?

[steady hollow]

Currently trying to test this, I really wanna see how my 8gb of RAM will sob with this

[loud saddle]

better late then never. Still great job on that!

[timid slate]

I don't see game hosting on their site.... Only Minecraft hosting :/

[glad mesa]

it's an ugly hack if it even works but you could try creating a new world with the same name and then replacing the save maybe (or is that what you did already)

[frosty gale]

gonna run the serv on 4gb see how it holds up

still need to brew a vm

[steady hollow]

it will crash

[worn heath]

Another video showing i testing both 3x udp ports and always query one is not even started

[fickle zinc]

4GB is not enough

[steady hollow]

someone else tried iirc

[rose valley]

There should be a wiki update soon on how you can get custom save games on the server.

[burnt blaze]

That would be the session name when creating it?

[steady hollow]

yes

[fickle zinc]

My new game idles at about 5.5GB crashed at 4GB

[rose valley]

I'll have to leave now. I'll check here later to see if y'll have any big issues. Enjoy!

[frosty gale]

🤨

[clear birch]

u guys said you cant import your world yet?

[lofty latch]

Please also a custom location for save games not in the home directory >_<

[burnt blaze]

Really, I want an .ini file

[glad mesa]

what do you mean by "it's not even started"? what does netstat -tulpn | grep UE4 tell you on the server

[dusk frost]

FYI, I had to allow \satisfactorydedicatedserver\Engine\Binaries\Win64\ue4server-win64-shipping.exe on my server firewall inbound rules. Hope this helps anyone else struggling to connect to their game server.

[frosty gale]

sorry if this has been asked a dozen times before, but what's the recommended RAM?

not 4gb

[glad mesa]

6GB or so

[lost plover]

Can someone get on satisfactory and see if they can ping my server
DM me for ip

[next sorrel]

how to close the server ?

[steady hollow]

ctrl-c that bitch

[lost plover]

CTRL C

[worn heath]

nvm its listening but still its somewhere some issue

[glad mesa]

what about grep 8000? maybe it's taken

I guess it shouldn't be able to listen to it though

[worn heath]

i tried using 8001 and same problem my brain just explodes while trying 300x combinations

[quaint acorn]

Nearly there. Server created. Now getting "You need to create or load a game before you join it." Not done multiplayer before - what's this mean?

[steady hollow]

try not to change the ports, just use defaults

[glad mesa]

why do you need to change the ports to begin with

[steady hollow]

you need to create a save

[worn heath]

I used defaults same problem with query one REEE

[steady hollow]

Try using the default ports, then tell us what's the issue

[glad mesa]

the question was why do you want to change them in the first place

[fickle zinc]

are you trying to connect from within your network or outside? its possible your ISP is putting you behind a NAT? I had this issue at my parents house because of the Point-to-Point wireless internet

[quaint acorn]

thanks - I have - my regular game... do I need something different?

[brisk rapids]

am i missing something? I'm pasting the install string in steamcmd, but i am getting "command not found: steamcmd"?

[steady hollow]

You probably need to upload it to your server

[stiff anchor]

@quaint acorn Start up satisfactory, add your server, then it asks for making a password, and create a save...

[worn heath]

i just thinking why on my friend dedi its working fine on same panel + custom changed ports

[polar quiver]

I am getting this when i run the Factoryserver application

[quaint acorn]

dont worry about that

[quaint acorn]

they are for cmd line, not steamcmd - just type in the command separately into steamcmd

[brisk rapids]

right

[steady hollow]

Does your prompt start with Steam>? if so, run login anonymous and then force_install_dir <directory> and then app_update 1690800 validate

[glad mesa]

so the reason you want to use custom ports is because your friend does?

[polar quiver]

Well it does that and then instantly closes

[worn heath]

no i will try again using default ones if that will not change i will just idk

[burnt blaze]

Tried restarting the host machine. I had an instance get stuck.

[quaint acorn]

have you got another cmd line client instance runing?

[glad mesa]

someone mentioned they had to disable ufw or something, it's not impossible your server has its own firewall

[polar quiver]

i dont believe so

[quaint acorn]

thanks - how do I do that?

[steady hollow]

good question! no idea!

[stiff anchor]

I had no problems with the UFW firewall

[soft lion]

a good reason to change ports is for portscanners that want to mess up your game...

[quaint acorn]

you running on windows?

[north ridge]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/871848295402704929/902648055025778758/album_2021-10-26_20-56-37.gif

[glad mesa]

what does that even mean. obviously you could have or not have problems with ufw completely depending on circumstance

[steady hollow]

there's player auth methods

[soft lion]

ah, didn't see those in the vid

[stiff anchor]

i just added the 3 UDP ports that i used for the server...

[burnt blaze]

AHHHHH. Mine is up and running with an existing, very early save

[stiff anchor]

the default that is...

[quaint acorn]

factoryServer.exe -log -unattended > myoutput.txt on windows to get the console output to a text file

[fickle zinc]

explain

[quaint acorn]

factoryServer.exe -log -unattended > myoutput.txt

[lofty latch]

Their Minecraft hosting is just AMP so you can actually spin up whatever even though they're not marketing it that way rn

[burnt blaze]

Same session name as existing save and make sure existing save is most recent, AFAIK

[fickle zinc]

oh neat

[soft lion]

what do you recommend as host for AMP? (going to spin up a VM)

[steady hollow]

a dedi is a better idea

[polar quiver]

Yes

[lofty latch]

I personally use OVH (but this is not an endorsement)

they have cheaper Dedis as part of their SoYouStart range

[visual willow]

Last time I used OVH my server literally went up in the clouds

[brisk rapids]

It made a folder inside the dir i specified, but nothing more

[glad mesa]

just consider the fact that it's literally steamcmd + a service file to run this stuff without AMP

[lofty latch]

I've been using OVH for over a decade without significant issues

[soft lion]

i think a blade Dell VRTX can handle it, can even create a cluster if i want lol

[visual willow]

So you're saying one of their datacenters didn't literally burn down?

[polar quiver]

i just restarted and it did it again

[lofty latch]

Oh no it definitely did, but this is what backups are for xD

[visual willow]

Sure, but that's just completely unacceptable from a cloud provider

[storm quarry]

Disasters are unacceptable?

[polar quiver]

So just run this in cmd or steamcmd

[lofty latch]

all of the cloud providers have had some kind of major disaster at some point

[fickle zinc]

I'm using an i5-6600K with 32GB of RAM sitting in my Rack, works great.

[worn heath]

ahh fuck that, all things using default one, still problem with query port not working

[lofty latch]

AWS had a big outage because an environmental issue meant they couldn't keep the servers cool

[glad mesa]

yeah every cloud provider should have hot copies of every VM in another country ready to go

[visual willow]

lol ok sure

[visual niche]

anybody got any luck at playing on a dedicated server with the epic version ?

[lofty latch]

Yes - works fine

I'm literally running it rn

[visual willow]

yup

[visual niche]

how ?

[lofty latch]

using the normal instructions

[visual niche]

do you have your steam account linked ?

[zinc saffron]

Works fine for me too

[visual willow]

exactly the same as steam version?

[glad mesa]

check for firewalls on the server

[loud sandal]

dedic server works fine 🙂

[visual niche]

I enter the server and I get this:

[worn heath]

i disabled firewall + ovh one, same thing

[worn heath]

only thing which works is game port + beacon port ahh

[soft lion]

anybody checked if the server triggers UPnP for port forwarding?

[ebon cloud]

anone tried in docker with steamcmd ? Warning: failed to init SDL thread priority manager: SDL not found

[lost plover]

And I can connect to that server just fine

[lofty latch]

It does not

[glad mesa]

I just tried all of your ports. Connection refused on all of them

[steady hollow]

where the hell are savegames located again

[zinc saffron]

First bug occured with game in dedicated server

[visual niche]

%localappdata%/FactoryGame

[worn heath]

how? bruh

[soft lion]

you on windows?

[glad mesa]

you literally posted your IP in a video

[fiery snow]

Hey guys. What is the correct path for the config file on Windows? The wiki location is wrong

[lofty latch]

you can't have Connection Refused on a UDP port...

it's stateless...

[glad mesa]

how is that relevant

[soft lion]

firewall settings etc

[glad mesa]

i tested from a linux vps, the server is not accepting connections on those ports

so for like the third time, investigate firewalls

[worn heath]

how that port is closed? why i receiving logs about x thing is trying to connect?

[frosty gale]

wireshark your net

find out what happens

[lost plover]

Can someone help me test my server just like ping it dm me

[glad mesa]

maybe your IP is whitelisted. I don't know, I don't know anything about the environment you're running

[worn heath]

then if my ip is whitelisted why i cant connect to query one?

always query one even changed multiple times

[fiery snow]

Has anyone managed to get more than 4 players on a server?

[lost plover]

I am trying to get people test mine so no

two of us are able to play on my dedicated server from Epic. we dont even own it on Steam. (Wow, apparently i responded to something really old here and Discord was not updating)

[worn heath]

[clear birch]

im playing on my dedicated too, only own epic version

[visual niche]

hey crystal, can I try to join your server ? just for testing

[glad mesa]

so what does ufw status tell you

[quaint acorn]

I can get in game on a newly created game. How do I test this to see if others can join the server? Haven't done multiplayer before

[worn heath]

inactive

[clear birch]

[glad mesa]

what about iptables -S

yeah to set all firewall rules and stuff auto, looks easier

[spiral root]

It continues past that with

[2021.10.26-20.13.02:046][  0]LogOnline: STEAM: [AppId: 0] Game Server API initialized 0
[2021.10.26-20.13.02:046][  0]LogOnline: Warning: STEAM: Failed to initialize Steam, this could be due to a Steam server and client running on the same machine. Try running with -NOSTEAM on the cmdline to disable.
[2021.10.26-20.13.02:047][  0]LogOnline: Display: STEAM: OnlineSubsystemSteam::Shutdown()

And server is not contactable.

[glad mesa]

firewall depends on your distro

[soft lion]

Red Hat/CentOS/Rocky

[quaint acorn]

Hi - could someone help me test my server?

[copper lily]

sure, i have it open by chance

[glad mesa]

in that case just google "firewall-cmd open port"

[copper lily]

but im still looking for an answer on how to load a previous save

on the linux servers

copied it in, just unsure how to point it

[solar remnant]

UPnP should not be enabled on any router.

[dense grotto]

an update was released already, do we need to update servers and if yes, how?

[fickle zinc]

They said they will update the wiki soon^tm with that info

[copper lily]

ok, cool

thanks 👌

@quaint acorn i turned on dms, i can try to join for a sec

[soft lion]

for home servers?

[copper lily]

just dm me the ip

[glad mesa]

could be that the query port isn't open maybe

[fickle zinc]

UPNP is terrible

[copper lily]

agreed

[solar remnant]

For anything. I would advice to Google why it should be disabled.

[glad mesa]

if you use the service file in the wiki a restart will always update it

[solid sage]

hi , where was save folder in linux dedicated server, unable to found them ?

[copper lily]

im hosting on my dedi at OVH lol

[soft lion]

depends what router you have TBH

[dense grotto]

thanks

[copper lily]

@solid sage

obv your own home folder name

[solid sage]

thanks

[fickle zinc]

no it really doesn't the UPNP protocol is just not secure

[solar remnant]

No, not really. It SHOULD NOT be enabled on any router.

[steady hollow]

so ~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server

cool

[copper lily]

yep

[solar remnant]

So how much RAM does the thing eat?

[fickle zinc]

~6GB

[solar remnant]

That's... gonna be a problem with running it on shared shell server... :D

[fickle zinc]

then dont run it on a shared shell server

[gentle summit]

Om nom nom.

[solar remnant]

Ulimit might be 10GB tho per user. 🤔

[gentle summit]

I'm sure noone will notice. 😛

[soft lion]

Like i said, depends on the router, you have routers that auto update security ports for certain trojans and stuff, like almost every internet provider in the world does at this point for home users

[upper kernel]

Depens on Player Count and Factory Size I think ^^

[devout dune]

has anybody tried server on a raspberry pi?

[copper lily]

yeah i found 4-6gb

[fluid turret]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Loading_Save_File
Key point for loading save files is the Session Name, its not the same as the Save File Name, Session Name cannot be changed.

[fickle zinc]

I would advise against

[solar remnant]

They shouldn't:

$ free -h
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:          251Gi       108Gi        16Gi       2.5Gi       126Gi       138Gi
Swap:          27Gi       9.9Gi        18Gi

:D

[devout dune]

cpu wise?

the 8 gb one could maybe run it?

[solar remnant]

Hmm, running it in Kubernetes..... :D

[fickle zinc]

Maybe but I'd also be worried about the SD Card

[frosty gale]

mayhaps

a pi can run it

[fluid turret]

Do you know where the SaveGames folder is on linux, I'd like to add the proper pathing to the loading save files tutorial.

I dont feel like installing the tool on my server

[fickle zinc]

Is it compiled for ARM?

[spiral root]

Can we use our offline saves on server?

[visual willow]

~/.config/Epic/...

[fluid turret]

thanks

[merry bolt]

it seems that the server does not save if i close it using sigint. what is the proper way to ensure a save on exit?

[frosty gale]

cant tell

[visual willow]

highly doubt

[spiral root]

PS got it working was the Game port being explicitly blocked for some reason.

[fickle zinc]

then it likely wont run on Rpi

[whole nacelle]

Can someone help ? idk where I can find the address

[glad mesa]

it did for me

[copper lily]

it would be your IP lol

[frosty gale]

installed on own pc? try localhost as ip

[jolly bough]

i will stop using dedicated server for now .... autosaves will not get loaded correctly and now i lost 2 hours of gameplay, server got stopped with quit

[whole nacelle]

ok thx

[rose valley]

None yet. Sorry! You can trigger saves in game from the save menu for now.

[merry bolt]

all i get is autosaves at the set interval, no exit save, so it effectively rolled abck to the last autosave

[fickle zinc]

is there a time based auto save?

[visual willow]

Is there anything we can pipe to stdin for saving?

[whole nacelle]

That worked, except it says the versions are not compatible

[rose valley]

Yes, same settings as the game.

[glad mesa]

i obviously cant be 100% sure but i logged in, placed a pole, logged out and restarted immediately and it was there when i went back in

[frosty gale]

try experimental

not early access

[rose valley]

Nothing. Sorry. I'l fix this soon. Over the next few days.

[whole nacelle]

wdym ? I am on experimental

[snow belfry]

@rose valley not sure if someone said already, that not for everyone they show up in steam the dedicated server ?

[burnt blaze]

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames

[clear birch]

u fucking kidding me?! xd
Set up my server, tested, shutdowned - installed it as systemd

[whole nacelle]

It gives me this

[worn heath]

update server and client

[rose valley]

We do not use steam integration for the servers.

[glad mesa]

so update?

[merry bolt]

the autosave interval is 5 minutes, should be able to change it with the console command FG.AutoSaveInterval value_in_seconds

[fiery snow]

Where is the game.ini for the Windows dedi server? It's not in FactoryGame/Saved/WindowsServer

[clear birch]

i dont know =D

[snow belfry]

@low thorn no i mean can't install it, does not show up in library

[clear birch]

just was like - dude i was playing in this setup 2 mins ago xd

[rose valley]

Sorry, I got that wrong.

[upper kernel]

Does anyone already have a server running which is public?

[clear birch]

1 gb experimental update - i guess thats it

[rose valley]

Yeah, saw that not sure why yet. Could be a steam cache thing.

[burnt blaze]

Just got an update to experimental, so that explains the mismatch

[rose valley]

Will look into it tomorrow.

[clear birch]

What you mean with "public"

[snow belfry]

only thing i got :

[merry bolt]

it gets generated the first time you touch a setting. For example, i set FG.NetworkQuality 2 from the console, and all the config files got generated

[snow belfry]

no dedicated servers^^

and i read on YT that multiple people have that problem

[glad mesa]

grab the dedicated server with steamcmd

[upper kernel]

@clear birch IP or Hostname to join a game for Public access

[snow belfry]

yeah will do ofc, just wanted to let the guys know that it does not show up for everyone

[vocal jungle]

ok that was intresting to setup on linux

[burnt blaze]

ok so uh, how to update dedicated server via steamCMD. Just same command?

[rose valley]

I think once your steam client will update you will get them.but we will look into it too for sure.

[clear birch]

dont know if i wanna go full on public =D

[fluid turret]

Have you updated steam?

[fiery snow]

@merry bolt it wasn't but since the patch that just went out, it has worked

[visual niche]

hey do dedicated servers have a session ID ?

[glad mesa]

the service example in the wiki does it on every restart

[vocal jungle]

anyone want to do some connection testing

[fiery snow]

So I am guessing it was an issue with the last build

[vocal jungle]

no

[snow belfry]

any contact with nitrado etc ? to get it on paid servers ?

[vocal jungle]

shouldnt need session id

[crystal sentinel]

how do you exactly join the server?

[rose valley]

That's up to them.

[vocal jungle]

add the server in the servermanager

[snow belfry]

well hope they contact you

[vocal jungle]

option in the main menu

[glad mesa]

why would they need to contact them

[crystal sentinel]

i dont have server manager option, missing something ?

[visual niche]

are you on experimental ?

[lofty latch]

There are hosts running it already 🙂

[fickle zinc]

nitrado can run the server if they want, its not up to coffeestain

[vocal jungle]

are you in experamentlal

[rose valley]

I mean it'100% on them. We made the tools available and that'all we intend to do.

[crystal sentinel]

ah wait. ,its experimental, ok that explains

[lofty latch]

The tools need a lot of work though, it's a pretty bare-bones server right now

[burnt blaze]

This? "FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended"

[fervent tusk]

Do you need to have bought the game on Steam to get the Dedicated server? Because it is still not available to me.

[rose valley]

It was presented as such.

[vocal jungle]

you dont need to own it

[glad mesa]

no. the systemd service file example. I don't know what the equivalent would be of the steamcmd command on windows but probably very similar

[lofty latch]

aye which is absolutely fair enough under the circumstances

[jolly bough]

no you have not

[burnt blaze]

It's not visible now. HAve to get it through SteamCMD. See wiki

[upper kernel]

I think they need time to implement it on the Cloud system

[clear birch]

u wanna test connection or searching for a server to play?

[polar quiver]

How do you update the dedicated server?

[fervent tusk]

ahh ok thank you

[vocal jungle]

the steam appid 1690800

[lofty latch]

some of my customers are waiting a while before they offer it commercially, some are gearing up to do it immediately

[glad mesa]

steamcmd. service file on wiki does it automatically

[snow belfry]

yeah and ofc the server is also exp at the moment, so i am not expecting it so soon, but its a start

[upper kernel]

searching for a server to play

[vocal jungle]

install steamcmd follow and linux or windows guide

[lofty latch]

instaban.com has a server running

[burnt blaze]

Help me out. This? "steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 +quit"

[vocal jungle]

then follow most game guide for install then use id 1690800

[fickle zinc]

lol shameless self promo?

[lofty latch]

Nah - instaban is literally a testing environment, there's not even a site there

[next sorrel]

what do i have to do to update server to current game version?

[snow belfry]

@low thorn sorry to bother you again 🙂 Do we have any info on hardware requirements for a server ?

[vocal jungle]

anyone want toi help me test ?

[lofty latch]

its our companies equivalent of example.org or contabo/northwind etc

[glad mesa]

check the steamcmd documentation, search for app_update

[visual niche]

I want to test

still didnt manage to connect to any ded server

[vocal jungle]

i running one on a 24 core with 32gigs of ram

[chilly lichen]

i installed AMP on my ubuntu machine but it doesn't show Satisfactory on creating instance. did I go wrong somewhere?

[lofty latch]

You need the Satisfactory config for it

[visual niche]

can I join (just for test) ? @vocal jungle

[snow belfry]

well i assume it runs good on a 24 core with 32 gigs 😄

[lofty latch]

we've not shipped it in the base image just yet

[fickle zinc]

a lot.

[rose valley]

None yet but scroll up some people figured out a sweet spot. I'd say aim to have at least 8gb of ram to begin with.

[snow belfry]

cheers

[glad mesa]

"a lot" is extremely subjective. it's pretty much the same as a Valheim server

[fickle zinc]

lol yes, I was being a bit facetious

[copper lily]

heres memory usage for context

[snow belfry]

i mean its satisfactory, it also will depend on the size ofc 😄

[merry bolt]

mine seems to be using 5gb ram on a new save (Windows). likely would get higher on an older save

[vocal jungle]

dm me if you want address

[lofty latch]

You need this file: github(dot)com/CubeCoders/AMPTemplates/blob/main/satisfactory.kvp and it goes here:

[livid berry]

Can i Import my Local Saves to the Server?

[frosty gale]

seems like min ram required is 5gb, mine in windows is hovering at 4.9

[lofty latch]

tomorrow you won't need to do that, this is just because it got pushed out today

[clear birch]

here, try the "manual way"

1. enter steamcmd
2. login anonymous
3. force_install_dir <path> (use an absolut path like /home/user/satisdir/)
4. app_update 1690800 validate

[burnt blaze]

Got it. Thanks!

[chilly lichen]

thanks

[glad mesa]

that's literally the same thing just more complicated ffs

[burnt blaze]

Just got it, thanks!

[clear birch]

bro chill, was typing and copy pasting - didnt saw you just answered

[lofty latch]

After adding the file you can restart AMP to get the option

[glad mesa]

I'm saying what he already gave as an example is the same thing you replied with just in one line

[lofty latch]

I've just bumped the config globally though so nobody else will have to do that xD

[clear birch]

nope

[brave willow]

anyone knows what to do here ?

rocky linux 8

[glad mesa]

google it first of all

[quaint acorn]

hmmm... had it working just fine. Now getting "The server and game versions are not compatible" in Server Manager. Restarted server + deleted save files - same issue. Any ideas?

[clear birch]

its literally not - its the same problem i had as far i could interpret his problem

[glad mesa]

it's probably a missing library

[brave willow]

i did ^^ i also installed the sdl lib

[burnt blaze]

There was just an update pushed.

[glad mesa]

you have no idea what you're talking about

[brave willow]

but hasnt helped

[fickle zinc]

there was an update to the game

[brave willow]

also linking the steamcmd wasnt possible

[fickle zinc]

you need the client update too

[open birch]

Any1 tried to load a save file into a server, to see if ram increased by objects?
Fresh start 1 player = almost 5gb ram (windows setup)

[clear birch]

sure

[brave willow]

have to start via the steamcmd.sh

[whole nacelle]

so i tried updating the FactoryServer through steamcmd, but the game still shows this

[fickle zinc]

did you update the client?

[whole nacelle]

yeah

[fiery snow]

So anyone any idea how to increase the max players?

[glad mesa]

are you sure you installed the 32 bit one

[dreamy nexus]

Yikes. Client updated. How do you update the server?

[whole nacelle]

it actually showed that before i updated server but after i updated the client

[brave willow]

ehhhhh, huuuh?

[glad mesa]

steamcmd. the service file does it for you on restart (linux)

[glad mesa]

what exactly did you install

[brave willow]

can i PN you=?

[frosty gale]

I haven't updated yet :D

[fiery snow]

I found this on the wiki

MaxPlayers=X

But that hasn't seemed to work

[glad mesa]

just give the dnf/yum command

[dreamy nexus]

ok, is there a way to gracefully shut this down or do I just need to CTRL-C it?

[glad mesa]

I have no idea what OS you're on or how you're running it

[fickle zinc]

Save first

[brave willow]

first i tried with "yum install steamcmd"
but he hasnt found the package, so i downloaded it seperately and unpacked it

[ancient burrow]

hey, anybody found where savegames are on linux ? they're not in /FactoryGame/Saved

[next sorrel]

i used this to update the server, but where do i find the actual server updateversions for reason updates

[glad mesa]

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/7036 note the part where they install SDL2.i686 via DNF, it's specifically the 32 bit version of that library

[next sorrel]

D:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 +quit

[brave willow]

i tried this, but also didnt found that package

lmao

[lost plover]

Could someone be able to see if they can connect to my server?

[quaint acorn]

Really sorry but what command do I use in SteamCmd to update the server? It's not on the wiki

[burnt blaze]

welp, both server and client updated and now there is a version mismatch

[glad mesa]

check the steamcmd documentation and look for the yum repo

[tawny kraken]

send ip

[visual niche]

I can try again tiger

[balmy glacier]

same command to install

[lost plover]

I just run the install command again and it updates it

[lofty latch]

did an update ship already?

[glad mesa]

actually mine doesn't seem to come from a package either. weird. sorry I don't know where I got the lib from if I even have it

[vocal jungle]

lol

[chilly lichen]

https://i.imgur.com/PkfDp5c.png is that endpoint correct?

[tawny kraken]

app_update 1690800

[vocal jungle]

dont forget the validate

[glad mesa]

did you follow the "Manually" section in the steamcmd documentation?

[quaint acorn]

yeppers - bit of a doh moment here

[fickle zinc]

Crashed(client) when exiting dedicated server to main menu.

[whole nacelle]

So, there's a version mismatch between the 2 ? We can't use the servers until they update the tool ?

[frosty gale]

yup!

[whole nacelle]

Ok, just wanted to make sure

[vocal jungle]

it may crash on first load aswell it did for me

[frosty gale]

until proven otherwise ofc

[fickle zinc]

I've had it crash a bunch of times, I just hit send and close

[frosty gale]

my very first load also caused server crash after that not anymore

[vocal jungle]

same

[frosty gale]

my dedic is running p smooth in a med size factory

[vocal jungle]

took me forever to find the save file location

[glad mesa]

I'm running client #170209 and I just logged in to my server just fine

so I'm not sure what mismatch you're talking about

[fickle zinc]

btw, I updated both server and client and can play I dont get the mismatch verison issue

[woeful citrus]

hey can i get some help i installed the dedicated server on windows. got it kinda running but cant join the server

[frosty gale]

you connected in the game menu to server?

[woeful citrus]

yes

got ports opened

got latest patch

[frosty gale]

it shows game data?

like milestone progress duration etc

[burnt blaze]

Can you join locally?

[woeful citrus]

yes i can see in console that i am pinging and try to connect

[brave willow]

ya also tried it

[woeful citrus]

no remotly

[frosty gale]

in network or outside net?

[fickle zinc]

@rose valley so you get the crash reports we send?

[woeful citrus]

outside

[acoustic hazel]

whats the recommended ammount of deddodate wham does it have to server?

[frosty gale]

hmm

this is the part where I tell you to check firewall settings

[balmy glacier]

6-8GB

[rose valley]

Gonna check those tomorrow. It's almost midnight here. Just hanging out cause I'm hyped.

[woeful citrus]

already did that

[glad mesa]

the only yum package I have installed that looks remotely relevant is SDL2 from repo powertools (EL8)

[tawny kraken]

What ports did you open?

[brave willow]

i dont get it how i add the repository lmao

[fickle zinc]

thanks for everything you've done here, I'm super excited

[woeful citrus]

here is my error ingame

[brave willow]

this is for ubuntu, not centos

[glad mesa]

try "yum install SDL2" first and if you don't have powertools it's called "centos linux powertools", just google it I guess 😄

[ancient burrow]

restart the game and server

[woeful citrus]

15777

[brave willow]

i just rebuilt my vm, so i am at the start again 😄

[steep cave]

hello guys i don't have the dedicated server in tools menu in steam 😦 how can i get it ? i don't understand why i don't have in list

[frosty gale]

steamcmd

[glad mesa]

read the wiki, use steamcmd

[rose valley]

Looks like port 15000 is not reachable. Check firewall, router, ISP settings, all that.

[tawny kraken]

and what about 15000 and 7777

[frosty gale]

So far I am able to fight a big crawler without any lags :D

[fervent wharf]

Can anyone tell me where to find this on steam?

[olive palm]

the port 15000 is already open like those ports that is standing in wiki 15777 and 2222

[woeful citrus]

do you have to open 15000 and 7777?

[fervent wharf]

I cannot find it to download it under tools

[frosty gale]

use steamcmd to get it

as you can't get it via library

atm..

[woeful citrus]

im working with @olive palm

[visual niche]

pretty sure you have to open all 3

[glad mesa]

15000 is clearly not open since the connection is timing out

[rose valley]

Yet your game cannot reach it. Unfortunately once you confirmed that the server is listening on port 15000, then it's outside of the server's control.

[olive palm]

ah okey

[fervent wharf]

@frosty gale I have it, do I just run the exe now or what?

I ask because I opened it and nothing happened.

[rose valley]

That's so annoying...

[glad mesa]

honestly it's like the least annoying thing so far because the use case for going from steam gui -> dedicated server is almost non existent anyway

[lofty latch]

Did whoever manages the steamworks stuff add an image for the dedicated server AppID? it won't show up otherwise

[rose valley]

But it obviously bothers a lot of people.

[frosty gale]

Not everyone is used to cmd here

[glad mesa]

people who would install it and then have no idea how to use it, I mean it's not a sane first step for setting up a dedicated server to grab it in your steam library

[rose valley]

Clearly. You can get it through steamCMD.

[open birch]

Tbh getting it trough steamcmd on windows, is almost easier then a gui 🙂
Quite impressed how easy it started

[burnt blaze]

Sure. But running dedicated servers, you have to get used to that at least a bit usually

[lofty latch]

It'll show up in SteamCMD without passing the store requirements, but not in the GUI app without a banner image so far as I know

[fervent wharf]

I got it through steamcmd and now I have a satisfactory server exe file

Do I just run it?

[odd swan]

2 things first i am not cing dedicated server under tools and second can u run them while playing the game yourself?

[rose valley]

That's one lead that we have so far.

[burnt blaze]

Check the wiki

[open birch]

command prompt - go to the folder - run command: FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended <- if on windows 😄

[fervent wharf]

thank you!

[glad mesa]

step one of setting up a dedicated server is to understand what the word "dedicated" means

[frosty gale]

can't argue with that, though the more options the merrier amirite

[chilly lichen]

installed satisfactory on AMP on my ubuntu VM which is running on my QNAP NAS. I forwarded the ports of my router, but when adding the server IP ingame it only shows as offline, even through its running. do I have to do something else?

[vocal jungle]

how do you check the version in steamcmd ?

[glad mesa]

google "rocky linux powertools", I can't do this for you

[lofty latch]

Steamworks -> Dashboard -> "Satisfactory Dedicated Server" Store Admin -> Library Assets

[rose valley]

It is a lot less command line intensive than other servers I have set up in the past. Really tried to make it easy.

[tawny kraken]

I have to say that dedicated servers are really huge. It's a really nice thing that my friends and I have been waiting for for almost 2 years. We played it now for 4 hours with 3 people and the server crashed only 3 times, which is to be expected since it's the first experimental release, synchronization is perfect and FPS is stable, the server setup on Ubuntu was simple for which also thumbs up.. anyway good job!

[lofty latch]

make sure those are populated if you want it to show in the Steam desktop application

[native osprey]

So my Server crashed..... The Dedicated Server Doesn't save the game?! WTF... four hours gone....

[glad mesa]

it's experimental

[native osprey]

You would think saving the game on the dedicated server might you know... be key part of it?

[glad mesa]

it is, it works fine for me. because it's... experimental?

[tawny kraken]

That's weird, when my server crashed it always gave me a rollback of just a few minutes..

[rose valley]

I'll forward that to publishing, thanks! But that may only happen tomorrow.

[open birch]

my log shows save each 5 min

[frosty gale]

Are there any commands usable in Console tab in svr mangaer?

[acoustic pecan]

If we dont have the steam version how do we get to the tools?

[lofty latch]

run this as root to check it's listening:

sudo su -l amp
ampinstmgr ports Satisfactory

[native osprey]

Where is it saving too, because it's not letting me load it up or anything

[glad mesa]

~/.config/ something something

[tawny kraken]

And what does your log say?

[rose valley]

Basically any commands documented in the wiki for the game itself. Nothing server specific.

[native osprey]

I got nothing

logs that's it

[glad mesa]

.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames for me

[chilly lichen]

https://i.imgur.com/Hvx9jPN.png

[lofty latch]

Did you manage the new instance and hit start?

once you've hit "Create Instance" and have the box for satisfactory, you need to double click it

[acoustic pecan]

^

[native osprey]

on Dedicated Server, or in Appdata?

[glad mesa]

STEAM
CMD
READ THE WIKI

[frosty gale]

*RTFM

[glad mesa]

if it's windows I don't know the exact path, try searching for it or searching this channel

[open birch]

The first to make a yt vid about how to portforward and how to get steamcmd will get alot of views ^^

[chilly lichen]

I didn't, doing it now

[tawny kraken]

/home/%user%/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server/name_autosave_[].sav - Linux save path

[acoustic pecan]

the plus doesnt work for me it seems

[glad mesa]

first person to learn how to read documentation won't have to wait for the video

[acoustic pecan]

login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800

[native osprey]

that's simple stuff... my issue is the DS didn't save my game at all..

[acoustic pecan]

just logs in and ends

[glad mesa]

@acoustic pecan SatisfactoryDedicatedServer should be set by you. set a path

force_install_dir and all that

[open birch]

as seen in chat thats to hard 😄

[acoustic pecan]

it has a folder for that?

On Windows, does anyone know where it saves the map?

[frosty gale]

Why its so hard. I downloaded it through depot downloader and it just works

[fickle zinc]

lol sadge

[frosty gale]

Autosave is in line with my autosave settings

[acoustic pecan]

i'm having to run each command seperate

[glad mesa]

the steamcmd command tells it to download an app (app_update) and where to download it, i don't know why yours starts with "login" it should be the command steamcmd if you're in that directory or a complete path to steamcmd.exe or whatever

[frosty gale]

I think most people open steamcmd and start pushing commands

like me hehe

[acoustic pecan]

yeah

thats what i did

opened steamcmd

[frosty gale]

problem solved!

[acoustic pecan]

but that way it stops after each one

[solid sage]

For find my save file, I didn't 've directory

[frosty gale]

I can already hear the smell of burning keyboards typing away

[fickle zinc]

I just copied and pasted from the wiki and it worked great

[glad mesa]

you absolutely do not have to run all of it separately, here's a linux example of the entire command all at once:

/usr/games/steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir $InstallationDir +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

"InstallationDir" is obviously a variable

on windows that would be something like c:\poop\steamcmd.exe +login bla bla bla

[native osprey]

So my game on Steam, It didn't save it in my normal Folder on my Gaming PC.... and it doesn't look like it saved it at all on my Server PC.. Does anyone know where it saves it on the Dedicated Server?

[frosty gale]

Under %localappdata%/factorygame

Under saves

C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server

It's on the ded server wiki read it

[glad mesa]

literally asked a billion times but it depends on if your server is windows or linux

.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames on linux

[lofty latch]

all OK now?

[native osprey]

It's Windows on my end... but doesn't look like it's saving the game?

[olive palm]

yeah but that isn't right because while going there,
there aren't any files for the server named DedicatedFactortServer

[loud saddle]

What could be the case of "version mismatch" error message?

[glad mesa]

search your disk(s) for folders named "SaveGames" and see what comes up

[glad mesa]

version mismatch

[visual niche]

there just was a new patch @loud saddle

[woeful citrus]

there is a new patcj

[fickle zinc]

The Client and Server are different versions

[open birch]

there is a new update 😄

[fluid turret]

@native osprey https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Loading_Save_File

[solid sage]

Anyone can say me, where can get my save file on linux dedicated server, I haven't directory?

[glad mesa]

omfg

[loud saddle]

I know what a version mismatch is lol. Just server package doesn't seem to have newer version

[meager summit]

greeny arent you a linux boi?

[glad mesa]

sorry thats just a syntax mistake I think

[native osprey]

THERE IS NO SAVE FILE!

[frosty gale]

run server

[burnt blaze]

Did you create a game?

[native osprey]

The DS wasn't saving the map, that's the issue

[glad mesa]

it's not ~. it's ~/.

[woeful citrus]

still got a error its now different its says no isserver

[chilly lichen]

it says open now, but what is now the port I enter in the client?

[loud saddle]

Atm I'm in bed boy, but otherwise yeah, why

[native osprey]

I played 3 hours, got to Coal and game crashed... and no save file to speak of.

[steady hollow]

mood

[meager summit]

just the peeps asking about the linux save data location or whatever

[lofty latch]

It's the default so you can leave it as is

[frosty gale]

In main menu of satisfactory set autosave interval

[glad mesa]

search for "SaveGames" folders, like I said

[frosty gale]

It saves every 5 mins for me just like local game

[native osprey]

I need the Windows Save file location... I can't find a single save on the DS

[solid sage]

same shit

[burnt blaze]

We need a save location bot

[native osprey]

nothing is popping.

[chilly lichen]

even though it says closed for those two? https://i.imgur.com/dMBDsC3.png

[steady hollow]

your 15000 UDP port is closed, open it?

[glad mesa]

quite literally not the same shit

[lofty latch]

If the ports aren't correct, adjust them thusly:

[fluid turret]

There have been issues with the auto save on dedicated servers to remember to click save

[tawny kraken]

Maybe you were playing on a crashed server, so your client wasn't actually playing anywhere, which is why nothing was saved? Just guessing :D

[wanton gyro]

Every time I try to put some leaves in biomass burner my game crushes and I get this error

[chilly lichen]

ah will do

[native osprey]

for 3 hours?

[spiral root]

WTF?

[glad mesa]

ok well add "check for save game files" to your sysadmin check list and move on

[glad mesa]

WTFFFF???????

[meager summit]

port forwarding is UDP only

[tawny kraken]

Well, I don't know... it would definitely help if you sent the log records...

[fervent wharf]

@open birchwhen I type that, it seems to work, but I get a bunch of red lines

[lofty latch]

That's not port forwarding

[open birch]

@glad mesa ur running ur srv on linux or windows? and have u tried to load a saved game? just want to compare ram usage from my fresh start to a many object save.. to see the usages

[lofty latch]

that's the port utilisation in AMP

[steady hollow]

steamcmd +app_update 1690800 +exit

[glad mesa]

linux, and I have tried restarting the server so yes

[fickle zinc]

lol I think we need an FAQ, I'm seeing the same like 5 questions asked over and over

[balmy glacier]

update server the same way you installed it

[solid sage]

that same shit result

[steady hollow]

this

Just a google sheet

Wait, let me make one

[lofty latch]

you need to type "cd" in front to change directory

[meager summit]

make sure the game is on the experimental version

[glad mesa]

cd is how you change directory on linux

[frosty gale]

did you create a game in the server?

[lofty latch]

cd ~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved

[meager summit]

i doubt the folder is made until you actually make a save

[glad mesa]

wait til you find out about ls that shit is fire 🔥

[frosty gale]

!!

[steady hollow]

good god do we need to add a "learn how to use the commandline before hosting a server" tag

[glad mesa]

trust me this is just the beginning

[meager summit]

there's a lot more linux people than i thought there'd be :o

[steady hollow]

I know, I know

[native osprey]

Seems like there is a Dedicated Server update

[lofty latch]

How do you think I make my living? xD

[glad mesa]

the valheim dedicated servers channel was a complete shitshow of people buying shitty hosted docker containers from some dodgy company online and were pissed "the servers weren't working" and everyone was just like "the servers"?

[open birch]

TBH running servers on any thing else is noobish.. /- says me that just tried it on windows 😄

[balmy glacier]

This is better then the valheim launch

[meager summit]

lets not OS shame ;)

[solid sage]

cd or not it's the same i haven't this directory on debian 10

[small grove]

How can I get the Satisfactory DS tool to show up? I have the experimental side installed on steam, but I cant find the DS tool

[burnt blaze]

Mine is runnign great on Windows

[steady hollow]

lets absolutely OS shame, LFS only /j

[glad mesa]

~ means current users home and youre probably not running the server as root

[tawny kraken]

This won't be such a shitfest... surely people are smart creatures and know how to use wiki.. right?

[spiral root]

Oh I am.

[meager summit]

have you actually run a server yet?

[lofty latch]

what user did you set the server up as? you're running as root right now which isn't what the server is supposed to be running as

[solid sage]

i'm on user root

[steady hollow]

...and 100 more jokes to tell to yourself

[glad mesa]

i know you are. is the server running as root?

[silver badge]

for those using the new server option, is it better than traditional multiplayer?

[tawny kraken]

right?

:D

[lofty latch]

I do love actually that coffeestain have a habit of making their dedicated servers publicly available

[fluid turret]

Read the pinned message for the wiki tutorial, you need to use steamcmd

[lofty latch]

I owe a lot to them

[fresh hound]

Hey guys. Does anyone know this Error and maybe how to fix it?

[meager summit]

id assume something is not correctly updated, try restarting steam

[steady hollow]

only if you want a 24/7 server

[lofty latch]

Valheim was a similar exercise in immediately adding support

[frosty gale]

Shame if we actually have to disclaim setup experience, big insult to coffeestainers tryin to make it as easy as possible

[rose valley]

I know, let's call it a wiki 🤞

[loud saddle]

I tried to help a person that said they have 10 years of experience with hosting servers. They told me IPv4 needs 3 digits in every part and that servers can't use external IPs to connect. Some people...

[glad mesa]

the biggest error here is posting a screenshot of a terminal

[tawny kraken]

Do you have enough memory?

[meager summit]

hey bogdan, welcome to the shit show ;D

[mortal tangle]

OMG I JUST SAW THE VIDEO DEDICATED SERVERS!!!

[steady hollow]

Give it an hour or 2 to propagate across the CDN

[fresh hound]

tru

[steady hollow]

oh my lord

enkiel but that is the version I am running.

[open birch]

To be fair it has 3 digits... the Zero's in front is just vanished 😄

I guess 16Gb should be enough?

experience in IT is a bell curve, 5 years is good 10+ years is a red flag

[steady hollow]

Did you install v0.5.0.1? both client and server

[spiral fern]

I updated the game on Steam (Experimental obviously) and restart Steam and even my Computer, I enabled and disabled the Tools filter multiple times, but no dedicated Servers Item showing up. I'm sure it's a in front of Computer problem but I'm running out of ideas what I could try tho

[lofty latch]

where is the video about the servers specifically? I saw a thumbnail earlier

[native osprey]

Whelp, Updated Server, tried to update game, and now i'm getting The Server and Game Versions are not compatible as well.

[gaunt wyvern]

Silly question. Has the server software shown up in steam for anyone yet? I've tried exiting and restarting several times without any luck.

Known issue on steam's side

[spiral root]

Ahhh no I am on v0.5.0.0 on client I guess been another update since I installed.

[acoustic pecan]

Did you enable tools?

[gaunt wyvern]

Thanks.

[silver badge]

whats the best OS to run a satisfactory server? do I need to have the game on steam?

[steady hollow]

linux

[lofty latch]

Debian 10 IMO and No

[meager summit]

<@&387163995947270144> can we get a pin with the dedicated server video too pls? - some people appear to be asking
https://youtu.be/Nn-1s87JJxc

[glad mesa]

linux is the best, all cool kids use it

[loud saddle]

Oh crap I have 12 years of experience

[burnt blaze]

got client update. Dedicated server, no update needed.

[acoustic pecan]

?

[spiral fern]

thanks

[glad mesa]

the fact that you haven't quit yet should be cause for concern enough to see a therapist

[rose valley]

It's pretty cozy actually.

[open birch]

server os is the same to ask about religion 😄

[lofty latch]

I've validated the server on Debian 10/11 and Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, 21.10

[loud saddle]

I'm a web dev 🤷

[meager summit]

wait 'til they find out you're the dedi big man

[silver badge]

do I need to have the game on steam? I only have it on epic store

[rose valley]

It is. Feel free to ignore it.

[lofty latch]

no

[tawny kraken]

Why is this discord channel so addictive?

[frosty gale]

IT helpdesk experience

[acoustic pecan]

perfect

[native osprey]

Updating the Serve on Windows kills it. I'm showing no update on Steam now, and getting not compatible.

[open birch]

steamcmd is all u need sir

[spiral root]

If only there was a arm compatible version of steamcmd could run a completely free server through Oracle cloud like I do for MC servers.

[glad mesa]

because it's a burning dumpster filled with diapers

[burnt blaze]

No reason

[loud saddle]

Enabling threads here may help 🤔. Assuming people would use them

[rose valley]

I don't know man. I want to go to sleep but I can't.

[steady hollow]

I'm asking for a referral letter after this & putting this on my CV

[acoustic pecan]

is there any eta on the docker version btw?

[acoustic pecan]

for sure!!

[glad mesa]

they wouldn't

[steady hollow]

theres already an unofficial version

[acoustic pecan]

link?

[steady hollow]

90% of discord users dont know they exist

[chilly lichen]

well, the correct ports are open and listening now but it still wont show any servers in the client. I tried my dyndns-adress, my pure ip, my local-ip, nothing. I guess the linux station somehow doesn't communicate farther out

[rose valley]

hopefully before EA but there are community images already available.

Bound to happen.

[steady hollow]

containerrrsss

[acoustic pecan]

what is sleep

[lofty latch]

have you set up your port forwarding to match?

it's just UDP

[glad mesa]

"hey I want to run a command to install a binary and run it, does anyone have a docker container"

[tawny kraken]

Nono.. why is docker lol

[meager summit]

havent heard of it until jace mentioned it

[chilly lichen]

I created TCP forardings in my AVM router

[rose valley]

Does it happen consistently or?

[lofty latch]

It's UDP, not TCP

[steady hollow]

ffs its a docker dot com link

literally https :// docker dot com

[glad mesa]

gtfouttahere with that

[fresh hound]

the Server crashed a few times so I had to restart it and now it crash during the start

[rose valley]

pretty sweet way of distributing software. easy to install and get going.

[lofty latch]

someone remind me how to wave

[meager summit]

wanted to check the wiki, and it does say UDP port forwarding, guys pls read it xD

Virtualbox on steroids

[inner dagger]

Hi guys,

trying to run a dedicated server thru Steamcmd.
Running on debian.

when trying to start the server with:
./FactoryServer.sh
I get this error:
Illegal instruction

what sugests that the 32bit library is not installed correctly?
have followed the instructions on the wiki.

[rose valley]

And if you delete your save and create a new game?

[spiral root]

How much Ram is everyone giving their Dedicated Servers?

[meager summit]

waaaaaaaaah i just thought it would be useful ;-;

[fluid turret]

if your command line says Steam> then type exit

[glad mesa]

that's bait

[small grove]

Sorry for not clarifying, the command was placed in STEAM CMD

[steady hollow]

6gb minimum

[verbal spoke]

Lol u good

[fresh hound]

k ill try but let me backup first 😄

[frosty gale]

8 GB recommended tho

[loud saddle]

Joshie needs simple answer 🤷‍♂️

[glad mesa]

my god

[spiral root]

@frosty gale learned that the hard way on my first roll up chucked it on my smaller VPS with 4GB lol now on one with 24GB

[rose valley]

Defintiely Keep the old one, If another one works, then the old one might be interesting to look at.

[meager summit]

its true

[small grove]

I know, I know. I do not know what I am doing

[steady hollow]

ya I saw ppl running it and it idled at 5gb 😨

[meager summit]

wait bogdan, its late, go to sleep xD

[frosty gale]

cmd is scary

[vocal jungle]

Error! App '1690800' state is 0x206 after update job. hmm

[steady hollow]

Heck?

[frosty gale]

haha my server now idling at 2 GIGS!

[glad mesa]

are you running this on the same machine that you're gaming on? if so why

[meager summit]

when your dedi works fine first time
but you also play solo so it doesnt matter

[lofty latch]

In my experience the game idles at about 5.5GB if there's anyone on it

[tawny kraken]

ouch.

[meager summit]

docker website should probably added as a whitelist

[spiral root]

78% to v0.5.0.1 client side lol.

[small grove]

Yes and No, I am running it on my desktop but will be playing on my laptop at work.

[glad mesa]

I disagree

[meager summit]

at least when official satis gets added? assuming they can be specific - maybe a bot command

[glad mesa]

ok, but if you want to keep playing on your desktop you can't do that

[open birch]

tbh just because we can.. doing it my self.. just for the tests 😄

[placid zodiac]

Question regarding dedicated servers. The instructions all refer to installing Via steam. What about those of us who have the game on Epic?

[steady hollow]

<@&387163995947270144> 3rd ping of the day but is there any chance we can have *.docker.com whitelisted on Dyno?

[lofty latch]

Same instructions

[open birch]

Steamcmd!

[lofty latch]

it doesn't require you own it on steam

[native osprey]

So anyone else having my issue? There was a Server update on steamCMD and now The Server and Game Versions are not Compatible.....

[steady hollow]

doesnt make a diff, you dont need the game on steam

[spiral root]

Mark you still install server via SteamCMD don't need to own it on steam.

[glad mesa]

that's cool except 99% of all messages in this channel are people "testing" the dedicated server without having any idea why they're doing it

[tawny kraken]

I wonder if vehicles can be used normally on dedicated servers finally, because in normal multiplayer they are unplayable for everyone except the host.

[spiral root]

I was and updated client side.

[tawny kraken]

:thonk:

[lofty latch]

memory usage is very consistent in this game

[fresh hound]

umm. In which folder should the save be?

[native osprey]

not getting a client side update. Let me force close steam and see if it pops

[small grove]

Fuck it, lol, I will have a friend toss it on a virtual machine or something. clearly not getting any help here, just arrogant vague remarks

[olive palm]

okey so all the ports are open 15777 2222 15000 but still we aren't able to join the server

[steady hollow]

lets just move the discussion to matrix and then only serious ppl will join /jk
