dedicated-servers

[spiral root]

Is that idle? 1 player, 2 players?

[lofty latch]

2 players

[open birch]

my reason was to see the ram etc.. Wondering if i should try to attack the server installation on a PI4 with 8gb ram.

[steady hollow]

...you need 7777 not 2222

[glad mesa]

get a linux VPS up and you can get it up and running in five minutes by following the wiki

[steady hollow]

they don't ship executables for ARM

[spiral root]

What help you need dude?

[gaunt gorge]

@olive palm Currently you cannot change the game port, it defaults to 7777 unless that's in use

[meager summit]

make sure to read the wiki for the ports, also make sure they are UDP only

[rose valley]

Check out the wiki page, the upload save section. It's mentioned there.

[lofty latch]

Actually that's not necessarily a problem 😉

[small grove]

I am in the medical field, not IT. I will see if a friend will help.

[olive palm]

then the wiki isn't correct made because it says on wiki that i shouldn't use the port 7777

[steady hollow]

havent tested for myself so 🤷‍♂️

[spiral root]

Yep no Arm Binaries yet - hopefully in the future.

[native osprey]

I'm not getting a Client Side update.

[steady hollow]

??? it literally says port 7777

[lofty latch]

I was running Factorio on an ARM64 system recently with good results

[open birch]

same with valheim, but it's possible to run windows on it, and work around it.

[lofty latch]

using some funky black magic

[lofty latch]

No Windows required, ARM64 Linux directly 🙂

[glad mesa]

I'm not trying to be an ass I'm just burned out by seeing a thousand people asking why their steamcmd commands doesn't work without knowing why they're running it. I'm going to bed, good luck with your server

[vocal jungle]

anyone get a existing install to update ?

[steady hollow]

same command

[spiral root]

Hard Restart Steam/Epic wherever you own it - remember may take a while to propegate to your location.

[meager summit]

you managed to get running Cezz?

[native osprey]

That's prob what's going on... First server doesn't save now this 😦

[spiral root]

Yeah its issue I just had but just got client update and can tell you it does work after update.

[open birch]

have to give it a go when i got enough spare time 😄

[visual niche]

oof.. tried setting up a dedicated server but it just crashes

[steady hollow]

im so happy they didnt add golf cause this channel just gives me serotonin

[fresh hound]

Now it started properly and I can create a new world

[woeful citrus]

w8 is there anyone how has de server working and running good

[spiral root]

How much Ram you giving it?

[lofty latch]

It involves setting up user space emulation, fairly minimal performance overhead

[meager summit]

error 404 information not found

[steady hollow]

Mike, probably

[visual niche]

[2021.10.26-21.33.35:320][ 0]LogWindows: Error: Could not bind to port '15777'. Server cannot continue initialization.

[frosty gale]

my serv atm

[steady hollow]

Ah, and G/3

[visual niche]

does that mean my port is not properly forwarded ?7

[steady hollow]

that makes 2 of you

[lofty latch]

aye my servers are running just fine on the latest version

[open birch]

i was hoping i could do it on the pi400 but the 4gb ram will crash me for sure. 😦

[steady hollow]

yeah no chance, minumum is 5GB

[woeful citrus]

hahaha okey what is your background it or software engineering?

[frosty gale]

nah man

[torn obsidian]

can i try join

[frosty gale]

nope, local atm

[spiral root]

Also no ARM Support.

[placid zodiac]

Just noticed too that server host providers such as g-potal already have satisfactory servers available to rent

[lofty latch]

That's not a problem

[woeful citrus]

there it goes its local. tsss cheater

[fresh hound]

and I pulled it into my own Folder and now I can open it

[meager summit]

what are your bets that someone posts their external ip in this chat... lol

[worldly iris]

Starting on default ports, no firewall on a static IP, server always shows offine. Anyone else having this?

[lofty latch]

AOT recompilation 😉

I've been running Factorio on ARM64 systems without issue for example

[rose valley]

mind if you dm me that save?

[fluid turret]

Yeah on consumer windows its about 5gb, on linux it uses less ram. I am at 4.9 gb right now with 2 people in the server

[spiral root]

You get it working on Arm and let me know how and I will love you then can run on Oracle Cloud for free.

[frosty gale]

1

[grizzled yarrow]

yo where is the dedicated server tool on steam it isnt in the tools list

[frosty gale]

I am forever alone in my session

[lofty latch]

well the catch is that it's an AMP specific thing, it can transparently set up user space emulation

[frosty gale]

The (2) app is the server

[fluid turret]

look at pinned messages

[lofty latch]

the big problem though is that SteamCMD doesn't work inside it right now

[worldly iris]

Couldnt find it either. Grab the files "properly" by using SteamCMD

[steady hollow]

already done

[grizzled yarrow]

which one

[lofty latch]

could a borrow a bunch of people to stress test a server and see how high the RAM usage climbs with like 8 people on it?

[grizzled yarrow]

the wiki says its there and the video also does

but it isnt

[fluid turret]

Either one but look at the wiki and read the part about steamcmd

[visual niche]

me me @lofty latch

[spiral root]

I am idle at 3.98GB with 1 user.

[olive palm]

i'm getting this warning
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.
I already used the -NOSTEAM but that doesn't slove it ?

[lofty latch]

server address is instaban.com @visual niche and anyone else that wants to abuse some hardware

[open birch]

i can help, but i like to know the data as well if possible

[visual niche]

same @olive palm

[spiral fern]

anyone else having continuous new Tab in the Browser being opened going to the Epic page?

[spiral root]

Last part of Wiki explains how to fix this

[lofty latch]

I'll tell everyone what the resource usage is @open birch

[meager summit]

i havent seen it so im sure its fine x)

[brazen flame]

has the update been pushed to the server yet

[steady hollow]

known & reported on QA

[soft lion]

joining it

[frosty gale]

When you load in a new save, you have to reconnect to the server

[spiral fern]

again, thank you!

[grizzled yarrow]

do you have satisfactory on steam?

[lofty latch]

4 people, 5.4GB

[frosty gale]

ill join

[steady hollow]

That domain, ROFL

[lofty latch]

5 people, 5.5gb

[steady hollow]

no need

[worldly iris]

No, but they SAID it is supposed to be exposed for everyone

[open birch]

@lofty latch wasnt the server set at 4 maxplayers or did i hear the video wrong? 😄

[lofty latch]

you can override it

[grizzled yarrow]

no but do you, i dont and it isnt showing up, if you dont either, it might not have done something proporly

[lofty latch]

so mine is set to 16

[visual niche]

nice, first server that works for me CCL

[steady hollow]

it is, its an issue on steam's side

[burnt blaze]

What's the max you've tested with?

[grizzled yarrow]

trying to figure our why i cant find it

ah

[open birch]

what file / line did u write?

[worldly iris]

Makes sense. SteamCMD is a more proper way to run things anyway. So no biggy

[lofty latch]

this is the highest so far with like 6 of us

7 now?

[soft lion]

it runs super smooth

[worldly iris]

But... I cant get my server to show up

[dense grotto]

i'm new to amp but i have it running and satisfactory instance installed but it just verifies and never runs server

[lofty latch]

have you hit start?

[dense grotto]

yep

[lofty latch]

show me the console tab

[dense grotto]

just runs verify

[grizzled yarrow]

idk how to use Steamcmd, seems better time than any to learn i guess

[lofty latch]

is this on Windows or Linux?

[steady hollow]

hi please take amp issues to its discord server thanks

[worldly iris]

Why would ANYONE pay for a stupid server manager that literally does nothing

[grand geode]

Had a dedicated server crash 3 times in a row with a mass dismantle with a client. Anyone else seeing this?

[fervent wharf]

ok, loading a frsh copy of ubuntu on my pi4 8GB and we gonna see how well it works! lol

[frosty gale]

prep for dissapointment

[heavy sage]

guys, what online servers are you using to run the dedicated server?

[meager summit]

error logs will help out if devs see it

[grizzled yarrow]

that looks good, what is it

[lofty latch]

Go to the file manager - is SatisfactoryServer.exe there?

[steady hollow]

those that have at least 6gb of RAM

[lofty latch]

might be a directory called 1690800

[heavy sage]

few options then

[next sorrel]

do you guys know if game is paused whenb no player on server?

[steady hollow]

It doesn't

[next sorrel]

ok thanks

[burnt blaze]

By default it pauses, but it is an option you can change

[dense grotto]

i see factoryserver.exe

[steady hollow]

Wait it does?

[next sorrel]

ok,..^^ how?

[lofty latch]

Aah hold on a moment then

[grand geode]

Where do server crash stack traces go?

[frosty gale]

yea

[next sorrel]

how?

[frosty gale]

you can choose if it pauses or not

It's in server settings

Not hard to find tbh

[grizzled yarrow]

jace said there was a setting

[next sorrel]

directly ingame?

[frosty gale]

ya

[next sorrel]

or with command

[mighty fjord]

how do you update your server to last version ?

[next sorrel]

ok

[frosty gale]

not in some config file

[next sorrel]

ill look it up neext time

[lofty latch]

@dense grotto go up a level and delete the satisfactory instance, then await further instructions

[dense grotto]

ok

[royal solar]

It's in the server manager menu -> select server -> settings top right

[fervent wharf]

@frosty gale heard of the Pi4 being used yet?

[frosty gale]

no, but did speculate about it

[steady hollow]

hi please take amp issues to its discord server thanks

[meager summit]

another dev up late xD

[fervent wharf]

It can transcode a 1080p video live lol

[steady hollow]

Y'all coffestainers go sleep, its late

[meager summit]

can i run dedicate server on arduino yet

[frosty gale]

thats cool and all but 5gb is a must

[lofty latch]

@dense grotto open a command prompt and run ampinstmgr --nocache updateall

[steady hollow]

can i run the dedi on my xp machine

[rose valley]

Can probably run it on your toaster. Kidding, before anyone takes me seriously.

[lofty latch]

then create a new satisfactory instance

[dense grotto]

ok

[lofty latch]

and it'll behave

and aye AMP has its own discord 🙂

[fervent wharf]

@frosty gale it has 8 built in

[steady hollow]

OK bet

[open birch]

@lofty latch what is ur ram at atm? with 9+ players?

[dense grotto]

alright thanks

[frosty gale]

glhf should run on that pi

[royal solar]

Who has a toaster with 5GB or ram to try it on?

[meager summit]

welcome to fact or cap 🍞 ☀️

[steady hollow]

huh

whats the CPU usage

[rose valley]

I'm sure you can find some smart toaster with even more ram these days.

[meager summit]

cpu usage is 0%, bogdan optimised it so well

[steady hollow]

its all in the RAM

[rose valley]

sounds like the game might be paused?

[spiral root]

How many players?

And all in the same location or spread out

[frosty gale]

9 atm

[brazen flame]

question, Will the autosave save the game while no one is on the server, and you have it set to run while no one is around??????????

[modern escarp]

Heya. Any chance someone could post a log of a successful player join event from a linux server?

[dreamy nexus]

Anybody figured out how to import saves from singleplayer into the dedicated server?

[modern escarp]

Trying to troubleshoot an inability to join. :/

[open birch]

mine is auto saving

[frosty gale]

in my experience autosaving is in line with sp. Set it at main menu

[rose valley]

yea, unless you disable it via config files.

[brazen flame]

nice

[royal solar]

every x minutes as by default

[frosty gale]

i got scared when it restarted without my world

[lofty latch]

fun times 😄

[frosty gale]

but i just gotta load it up

[rose valley]

yes, check the wiki

[meager summit]

over officially supported player limit, ban

[lethal ore]

hlp pls 4 hours waiting for dedicated servers to show in steam and nothing. I have tools on rewstarted sream 10000 times

[spiral root]

This is idle with 1 player.

[open birch]

bugged.. go use steamcmd

[twin widget]

Not showing in tools, use steamcmd

[steady hollow]

Issue on steam's side, just use steamcmd

[lethal ore]

thx

[rose valley]

we don't know what's wrong yet. If you want to install it now, you need to use steamcmd.

[lethal ore]

got it thank you all

[rose valley]

I love how everyone is ready to answer questions now.

[dreamy nexus]

oh, hah.. looks like they added stuff. Just needed to refresh.

[spiral root]

There are people now who have answered their own questions so will now pass on knowledge

[open birch]

Bogdan creating a well optimized early version of dedicated server...
Then steam.. lets fuck it up 😄

[rose valley]

kudos to @ Silarious for that

[lofty latch]

9 players, all spread out

[low merlin]

I'd love to see a bot that answers common questions, to make everyone's job easier'

Let's automate troubleshooting, in the spirit of Efficiency! (tm)

[visual niche]

yea its running pretty smooth

[vocal jungle]

woot got it up and one person connected with a old save at that

[steady hollow]

will answer questions for later fame

[mighty fjord]

Hello guys !
Did you successfully upgrade your server to the last version ?

[lofty latch]

yes

[frosty gale]

ya

[steady hollow]

yup

[mighty fjord]

how 🙂 ?

plz

[steady hollow]

run the same cmd

[balmy glacier]

Run the install command again

[lofty latch]

there's only like 3/4 people in here with functioning servers xD

[frosty gale]

app_update 1690800 validate

[modern escarp]

Does anyone else have to install the steam SDK?

[frosty gale]

just do it

[mighty fjord]

it won't overwrite my saves ?

[frosty gale]

unless you did it smwhere else

[frosty gale]

backup to be confident

[open birch]

.5 mine is behind dobbelt nat.. waiting on a static ip 😦

[vocal jungle]

if on linux make sure your using the same use you installed with

[spiral root]

How you get it working with an old save?

[rose valley]

eh, I don't think that accounts for all the people who are just playing the game and not hanging out here

[lofty latch]

lol aye

[royal solar]

There's probably a few more 😛

[open birch]

only the geeks find this chat funnier then playing the new awesome update 😄

[lofty latch]

also those of us who do have probably been watching this since the moment the servers came out

[meager summit]

we should rebel and bring back golf

[lofty latch]

and figured out the quirks

[vocal jungle]

i had to move the file into the riht directory

[spiral root]

I have a functioning server.

[royal solar]

No

[soft lion]

yeah but playing with 9 in 1 server without hickups is more fun LOL

[meager summit]

i sat there wondering, does snutt actually play golf lol

[steady hollow]

did I ask to be attacked? no

[frosty gale]

Just updated me server and I can load up prev save files

[lofty latch]

It's not even that beefy a server

this server is actually pretty decent for resource usage

[royal solar]

I feel like it's a big jebait XD

[modern escarp]

Yeah, still not behaving. Blrg.

it has its own save folder it uses, you can move your saves into that folder to have the server use them

[open birch]

i have been in the chat here from the start, still havent gone to play the update yet 🙂

[woeful citrus]

@lofty latch if i have fixd the server tomorrow i will stress test it hahaha

[vocal jungle]

saved games on linux are here

[lofty latch]

Mine's running fine xD

[vocal jungle]

/home/steam/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server

[meager summit]

everyone get your trains colliding on dedis and blame the dedi

[surreal gale]

is the dedicated server single-threaded?

[lofty latch]

try adding LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./linux64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./factoryserver

[woeful citrus]

still got that portforwarding problem gonna look tomorrow at it

[meager summit]

thats something bogdan would have to answer

[grand geode]

Mass dismantle crash is very reproducable

[meager summit]

if hes still around

[steady hollow]

I don't think it is

[rose valley]

It's not but it's also not evenly split.

[steady hollow]

I don't think the game itself is multithreaded lol

[meager summit]

as an fyi, you can drag drop the error log text file, discord is nice like that

[modern escarp]

FactoryGame?

[frosty gale]

yea

[grand geode]

what over putty?

[steady hollow]

codename for satisfactory

[wheat hawk]

having this same issue

[royal solar]

Threading should be similar to that of the standalone game

[grand geode]

the log btw is like 1MB btw in some cases

[meager summit]

im not sure what putty is :'D

[surreal gale]

I've got 100% cpu on a single core from FactoryGame, nearly 0% on any other core

[frosty gale]

I see you arent a man of culture as well

[rose valley]

Exactly the same actually. Nothing specific to the server is going on.

[spiral root]

Bouncing between threads for me.

[lofty latch]

that's normal, thats the OS scheduler doing its job

[meager summit]

i learn new things xD, but that log thre is in the log file im 99% sure

[lofty latch]

It's 11PM here but I'm afraid to go to bed

[grand geode]

yeha i know but its not local to me i need to scp them off the server

[rigid junco]

I'm getting continual warnings that "The server and game versions are not compatible." I've updated the server and verified the client in Epic, as there was nothing to download, and it keeps happening. Anyone have any suggestions?

[frosty gale]

It just turned wednesday for me

:D

[crude marsh]

hey guys. Unsure if this has already been asked, but what do I put for the "address" text field when creating a server

[frosty gale]

like rn

[steady hollow]

Imagine British tinezones

this post was made by Europe/Athens GMT+3

[frosty gale]

localhost if on own pc

[meager summit]

restart your clients, epic and steam, probably a pending update on one of them

[spiral root]

What versions are both running? There was an update to v0.5.0.1

[lofty latch]

If I go to sleep, a dozen people will ask me for technical support all at once

[wheat hawk]

i have the same issue

updated to latest on both server and client and no dice

[frosty gale]

There is hotfix, update the game

[royal solar]

Note this is not to create a server, it's to add a server to your list of accessible servers. To create a server, see the pinned messages 🙂

[rigid junco]

Where do I find version on the server logs?

[frosty gale]

and steamcmd update the server

[spiral root]

I did have the same issue then Epic realised there was an update after a hard restart.

[crude marsh]

ah okay thanks

[frosty gale]

follow wiki to make a server

[open birch]

are u guys renting a vps?

[frosty gale]

running locally on gamer pc rn

[lofty latch]

[spiral root]

Yes and No.

I am "renting" mine for free.

Virtual Pun Simulator?

[olive palm]

home dedicated server

[frosty gale]

Virtual Private Server

[crude marsh]

ah so there is no "CSS dedicated server"

[meager summit]

i think its Virtual Pun Simulator dont lie to me guys

[spiral root]

CSS?

[lofty latch]

that's Counter Strike: Source Dedicated Server

[meager summit]

coffee stain studios

[merry bolt]

Any way to configure auto save interval and number of files? i tried a few different ideas and nothing worked, including the GameUserSettings value copied directly from the client config to the server config

[frosty gale]

css wont host servers

[spiral root]

Ahhh Coffee Stains Studios makes sense.

[frosty gale]

until they do i guess?

[wheat hawk]

hard restarted steam, same issue

[crude marsh]

you have to host it on your own server, I see.

[frosty gale]

you get to host your own server

[spiral root]

What version is your steam on?

[lofty latch]

I love that coffeestain release their servers to the players, same with Valheim

[wheat hawk]

latest, CL #170209

[crude marsh]

couldn't the same effect be achieved by just locally hosting on like a second computer or something

[modern escarp]

Well, no dice. 😦

[spiral root]

Yes but then needs to be left always on and is using GPU etc when not needed.

[vocal jungle]

@crude marsh no

[crude marsh]

ahh okay yeah that makes sense

forgive my technological ineptitude lul

[spiral root]

This method is like a MC Server or Valheim Server

[vocal jungle]

with a headless server you get more performance and more control

[spiral root]

I am creating a "Community Server" for my Community

[frosty gale]

v nice

[dusty plume]

i don't see satisfactory server or whatever it may be called in steam tools library.

i've restarted it too.

[spiral root]

It isn't in tools yet you need to use SteamCMD

[vocal jungle]

I created a Server casue i can

[dusty plume]

ugh.

Thank you.

[frosty gale]

Use steamcmd to get server

[spiral root]

Follow Wiki Full instructions on there.

Does this server have a bot so we can get some commands like - !dedwiki - !steamcmd etc setup for common questions?

[merry bolt]

nearly all of my game servers are downloaded from Steam via steamcmd, and the same update script works on all of them, just changing the app id

[steady hollow]

there's dyno but we need a mod to set it up

Or bogdan

[royal solar]

hides in a corner, having no idea how discord bots work

[rigid junco]

Still getting the version mismatch on the server list. No server updates available and no epic updates available, as far as I can tell. But I have no clue where to check version numbers.

[spiral root]

Crystal rest of mine run through LinuxGSM I can't imagine it will be long before they step in to setup LinuxGSM for Satisfactory

[steady hollow]

I could help /hj

but just go to dynobot.com or whatever it is and setuo tags lol

[vocal jungle]

@rigid junco did you answer the PM ?

[wheat hawk]

i checked the server version, and it is a mismatch, however requesting an update yields no results

[open birch]

@spiral root what is ur spec on ur vps? really need to get my own for satisfactory 😄

[modern escarp]

Huh, why on earth did this install into the .steam folder? Even though I used forcedir.... that's odd

[royal solar]

I'll wait for someone more competent and with the rights to do it 😬

cheers

[main void]

A better solution would be to just Pin the common questions and point people that way instead

[spiral root]

The OCPU are CPU cores these ones are - AMD EPYC 7742. Base frequency 2.25 GHz, max boost frequency 3.4 GHz.

[royal solar]

Don't think so and it's fine by me 😄

[silk bridge]

I have zero experience setting up and hosting a server. Should I try to find a site that rents the servers out or try to run the server on the same machine I play the game on? Have many friends that want to play together and the regular multiplayer has too many bugs.

[rose valley]

yeah no thanks. this thing is a big chunk of work in itself lol

[balmy glacier]

Just set up a server in Proxmox LXC container. Connected and using 3.77GB ram

[royal solar]

Yeeep 😄

[frosty gale]

meddle on your own dev first

[near elm]

where do we get the servers from

[frosty gale]

steamcmd

[vocal jungle]

my vps - 16 cores 32g with 160 gigs hehe

[spiral root]

Any bugs you find in normally multiplayer would likely exist in the server too.

[silk bridge]

drat

[next sorrel]

is it possible to set a second admin?

[frosty gale]

believe so

[spiral root]

Just give them the admin password?

[frosty gale]

is mentioned in jace's vid about ds iirc

[open birch]

might be a bit of an overkill for me to run a csgo and satisfactory srv on 😄

[silent gorge]

Is anyone having server crashes during autosave?

[lofty latch]

shame that the server doesn't have a writable console

to send admin commands out-of-game

[spiral root]

No - Are you maxing your ram?

[rose valley]

just tell them the password

[vocal jungle]

its epic server i built thats in my basement

[meager summit]

whats your admin passwords guys?

[fluid turret]

Shame there is no commands to speak of

lol

[lofty latch]

hunter2

[silent gorge]

not using the steam one, using g-portal and the crashes started with experimental

[fervent wharf]

Well, anyone who has a Pi4 and wants to install it, good luck, cant even get steamcmd because its arm based lol.

[meager summit]

connecting now to delete all golf courses

[near elm]

where are the servers

[royal solar]

I ate them for dinner already

[lofty latch]

It is acutally possible 😉 I run Factorio on ARM hardware

[meager summit]

have a look on the wiki in the pins :)

[open birch]

there is asome work arounds for that

[frosty gale]

You need to install the server via steamcmd, follow wiki, link in pins

[meager summit]

simon saga 2.0? H-AI-Aga?

[fluid turret]

they might be talking about a server directory

[fervent wharf]

@lofty latchPoint me in the right direction? I would love to get that going!

[balmy glacier]

First person to use g portal in here

[burnt blaze]

If everyone gives me their IP and admin passwords, I'll put them into a spreadsheet for safe keeping. EDIT: Don't actually do that.

[vocal jungle]

think i set my server to to 32 players not sure if that will kill it or not

[royal solar]

Hahaha, the frenchman's hunger strikes again. 🙂

[frosty gale]

Unless more info is given I can only assume so much

It's an AMP specific feature for now, it's not easy otherwise

it uses transparent user mode emulation

coming in the next update

[royal solar]

Tho, try to not ask for people's passes and stuff, I know it's all joking and stuff but some people can be up to no good in the shadows 😉

[jolly bough]

any new administration commands found ?

[frosty gale]

hewy guys, donwt violate the twos

[vocal jungle]

no commands found at all lol

I am having a terrible time getting the server to show up in steam even though I added tools to the filter. I did manage to find and switch to the experimental branch though. Has anyone else had trouble finding the server tool?

[silent gorge]

been using g-portal for months with no problems

[blissful fern]

I keep getting the "Steam Dedicated Server API failed to initialize." anyone know the fix for it? Im on windows and ive opened every port i can

[modern escarp]

This is a clear improvement. Not sure if the 'error' is actuall a problem.

[lofty latch]

you can ignore that

[burnt blaze]

Use SteamCMD. See Wiki.

[wheat hawk]

restarted pc, not solved yet, although the steam server version is now 170147

[rose valley]

that should not affect the server

[blissful fern]

what about the " 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."?

[frosty gale]

SDS API isn't important

[pseudo crypt]

can someone give me a quick tldr on the server thing? i have no clue how it works

[near elm]

i dont have steam CMD

[rose valley]

yeah, you can ignore that one too. basically ignore the logs as long as everything works (you can connect to the server)

[burnt blaze]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[vocal jungle]

@pseudo crypt it magic and ranbows

[pseudo crypt]

makes sense

[pseudo crypt]

also thx

[modern escarp]

#flipstable

[blissful fern]

For some reason i can connect to the server but when my friend tries to join it times out after 5 seconds but i can see him joining

[lofty latch]

┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)

[vocal jungle]

windows or linux

[pseudo crypt]

windows

[wheat hawk]

is there anything that can be done if steamcmd doesn't update the server?

[near elm]

welp i dont have steam CMD in my library

[spring sable]

anyone else having issues connecting to a dedicated server from an epic game?

[burnt blaze]

Run the install cmd again

[vocal jungle]

no idea i went the path of linux, going to assume alot simpler in windows

[vocal jungle]

windows or linux

[rose valley]

add verify to the command, like this:
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 verify +quit
That might help

[modern escarp]

Join fails, and client crashes. GOOD TIMES

[frosty gale]

RETRY

dont stop

[near elm]

where do i download Steam CMD its not there

[spiral root]

Oh got I love Zooping.

[spiral root]

Check the Wiki all details are on there. -- https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[modern escarp]

Abort, Retry, Ignore

[vocal jungle]

it crashed twice for me when makeing a game save the first time

[near elm]

i have

[wheat hawk]

already started vanilla reinstall, will try after

[near elm]

and its not in my library

[frosty gale]

In the wiki page you can find a link to SteamCMD Documentation, there you can find a link

[near elm]

i think ill come back when this chat isnt so full on and someone can help better

[spiral root]

It will not be in your library - on the wiki you will see a link to the SteamCMD instructions for installing.

[frosty gale]

😔

[crystal sentinel]

i just gave up and ended buying a server at gtxgaming, all good an working im already playing, too much hassle for me messing with files and ports

[spiral root]

If you are installing the server on a headless environment, you will most likely want to use SteamCMD, regardless of the platform that you are using. SteamCMD itself is thoroughly documented on the SteamCMD wiki page.

[burnt blaze]

See the wiki under manual installation

[lofty latch]

should have tried the automated option from the wiki 😉

[spiral root]

They selling pre-configured Satisfactory servers already?

[balmy glacier]

noting against g-portal, just saying your the first person to use the Satisfactory dedicated server with g-portal in chat

[blissful fern]

the error my friend gets when trying to join the server

[modern escarp]

ls -al

[spring sable]

just verifying that everyone sees this warning bang right?

[crystal sentinel]

yap, im playing

[frosty gale]

ya

[balmy glacier]

g-portal too

[spiral root]

They didn't hold of at all. Wow

[spring sable]

ty

[silent gorge]

g-portal isnt a true dedicated

its a hosted game, just like you were joining friends

[crystal sentinel]

glad they did, its good for noobs like me 😛

[silent gorge]

they just host from another account

[lost plover]

So which 3 ports do I add to firewall?

[spiral root]

7777 15000 15777

[lost plover]

Thanks

[spiral root]

You need to add them as UDP ports not TDP

[wheat hawk]

using force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer was sufficient to bring it up to date. in future i'll try app_update 1690800 verify, bet it'd be faster **windows

[lost plover]

Yup

[abstract vine]

Yeah, unable to change the GamePort via -GamePort argument on Linux

[frosty gale]

true, dont need to constantly set the location of your installations

[spiral root]

For anyone using iptables (Ubuntu/Debian)

sudo iptables -I INPUT 6 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 15777 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 6 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 15000 -j ACCEPT
sudo netfilter-persistent save```

[rose valley]

that's bad. I'll look into it.

[spiral root]

Wiki advises that none of the ports can currently be changed Misread "This port cannot be redirected at the moment"

^^ Corrected.

[lost plover]

Is there away to set the ram it uses or does it use as much as it needs?

[fluid turret]

it uses what it needs

[lost plover]

Okay good

[spiral root]

Uses as much as it needs so far not seen my install go over 4.01GB

It doesn't "Reserve" any ram

[near elm]

well this shit is confusing im a pilot not a tech wiz

[burnt blaze]

Mine goes to 5.5 and I've only had me on it.

[abstract vine]

Also the saves should probably be somewhere in the server directory, not in /home... the same as every other game servers.

[near elm]

command not found

[lost plover]

Mine is using 6.4GB

[modern escarp]

I used to work for a gameserver company. This was literally my job, and it's giving me some grief. 😉

[fervent wharf]

Anyone know why it created the folder in my usr/games/ folder on ubuntu?

[near elm]

well im done ill leave it to them im going flyin g

[fervent wharf]

I linked the steamcmd install to /home/steam/

[spiral root]

Have fun Wraith.

[near elm]

will do

[lofty latch]

progress goes fast when you've got like 8 players on a server xD

[spiral root]

This is default behaviour when installing through apt.

[near elm]

someone make a fucking video and post it on youtube and make sure its easy to understand

[modern escarp]

Professional pilot?

[lofty latch]

I'll be doing that tomorrow - but if you're having a hard time try the automated option from the wiki 🙂

[burnt blaze]

Last time I played one of my friends only tamed lizard doggos and the other refused to use platforms

[lofty latch]

lol

[spiral root]

Last time I invited someone to play with me they just slid around the map while I built a hypertube cannon.

[fervent wharf]

@spiral root I installed it with steamcmd and not apt

[spiral root]

How did you install steamcmd? Through apt?

[fervent wharf]

steamcmd yes

[frosty gale]

how else

graphical?!?!

[fervent wharf]

but the folder for the satisfactory server is not generating where I tell it to

through steamcmd

[modern escarp]

Try putting the full path in, instead of relative

/home/steam/xyz

[young obsidian]

So the wiki says only UDP ports. I had to open 15000 TCP to get rid of network errors

[fervent wharf]

so do +force_install_dir /home/steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer

[frosty gale]

ya

but caution

you are making SatisfactoryDedicatedServer your install file for all steam files

Unless thats what you want !

[faint wagon]

Got a server up and running, any idea where the save files are for making backups?

[spiral root]

+force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicated will install it relative to the location of SteamCmd location which apt installs default to /usr/Games.

[frosty gale]

check wiki

[nimble harness]

The main Issue is when you never use Steam and then are asked to nav thru the menus and nothing makes sense

[spiral root]

I don't use apt as not on ubuntu 😉

[vocal jungle]

I loaded a Tier 7 save one user 4.7g memory usage

[frosty gale]

Tier 8 hits 5gb

[lost plover]

Is there away to turn on NoCost in the server?

[frosty gale]

inside a med factory

[lofty latch]

my server is still hitting 5.6GB fairly constantly

[fervent wharf]

@spiral root I guess I am confused because I am trying to set up the service which still points to /home/steam for some reason

[spiral root]

Anyone loaded a large map yet?

[fluid turret]

you just have to use the save editor to proper testing

[fervent wharf]

OIn the wiki

[vocal jungle]

only one of the 16 cores i gave it is being used

[fleet wyvern]

How many players or its empty server?

[spiral root]

2

[frosty gale]

where is the svr config file

in win

[vocal jungle]

not sure how multithread optimized it is

[faint wagon]

@frosty gale I followed the wiki, doesn't really have a directory for saved files that i could see

[frosty gale]

...

[modern escarp]

I connect to the server, it sees the game running. I join, and it disconnects me immediately. Then client crashes.

[frosty gale]

Windows
C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server
Linux
~.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server

[spiral root]

It seems to be putting the load into 1 main thread TBH.

[frosty gale]

according to devs the threating is inline with client

[modern escarp]

Server does not crash, it stays running just fine.

[fleet wyvern]

Interesting what more utilise CPU/RAM player count or buildings count?

[vocal jungle]

took me a bit to fined on linux @faint wagon had to make a save with a name and file search it lol

[fervent wharf]

The wiki is confusing for some, because it doesnt tell you to install it to home/steam/, just to put the foldername....because their service generation shows using the home folder and not the /usr.games folder

[spiral root]

It seems to split the Mem Usage between a number of threads but the CPU usage mostly seems to be coming from one main thread.

[lofty latch]

the CPU usage is too low to matter anyway

[spiral root]

Yep Snap.

I have maxed 20% of a single Core

[fleet wyvern]

Cool) mb i will decrease to 2 core)

[faint wagon]

@frosty gale where is the wiki for that, didn't see it in the server set up document? @vocal jungle yeah, i have it named and tried searching, still no luck

[spiral root]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[frosty gale]

no

[faint wagon]

LOL guess i needed to refresh

[vocal jungle]

accoding to exsi on the vm is rocking about 6.3% cpu usage

[frosty gale]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Loading_Save_File

should take you right to it

[faint wagon]

@vocal jungle what ram/cpu do you have allocated?

[frosty gale]

cpu dont care - ram min 6 atleast 8 gb

[faint wagon]

@frosty gale ♥️

[vocal jungle]

gave it 16 cores and 32gigs

[worthy forge]

So, that's odd ... I can connect to my dedicated server, than my Client crashes, the server notices the timeout, drops the connection, saves and pauses.

[frosty gale]

whats odd about that

It has good chances to crash at first login, simply retry and should work

[silver zealot]

this video in the pins mentions a server management UI, where can I access that?

[worthy forge]

Yeah, just retrying.

[meager summit]

Esc > Server Manager

[modern escarp]

Yeah, crashes at every login for me.

[silver zealot]

ty

[spiral root]

Getting past the initial tiers again is a pain.

[faint wagon]

in linux, i don't have a .config folder anywhere 🤔 should it be in the SatisfactoryDedicatedServer folder or the FactoryGame folder?

[modern escarp]

/home/username/.config

[spiral root]

Should be in ~/.config

~ is the users home dir.

[vocal jungle]

so far so good one hour uptime no crashes one user

[grizzled harbor]

How do i download the dedicated server tool on steam when i dont own it?

[modern escarp]

Use steamcmd. The wiki has details. 🙂

[spiral root]

You don't need to own it to download it you use SteamCMD not the Steam Client.

[vocal jungle]

wow 6 hour slow down on the looking for group channel lol

[modern escarp]

Anyone have a test server IP I can login to?

[lost plover]

I do

[modern escarp]

Just to see if my client is giving me grief

Some amazing warning messages ->

wish i could get it to work >.>

[spiral root]

So a Xeno-Zapper is called a "Equip_ShockShank_C_2147473131" in the code.

Shock SHANK!

[vocal jungle]

you will scuba you will

[fickle horizon]

I'm also noticing when I leave the dedi server in any way my client crashes. anyone else the same?

[vocal jungle]

nope

[spiral root]

Nope

[flat mirage]

does the directory matter? the wikis both make it seem like it doesnt

[vocal jungle]

it can

[spiral root]

@fickle horizon are you saying when you close the ssh it happens?

[fickle horizon]

let's start with do you guys get the epicgames connection error?

[flat mirage]

but then i'm confused on how to start the server

[fickle horizon]

when I try to exit from the game, game crashes

[spiral root]

Had that since last version TBH

Running on Vulcan.

[flat mirage]

where exactly do i enter this? FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended

[spiral root]

into cmd.exe

[vocal jungle]

I got a crash going from someone elses server back to my server

[fickle horizon]

ol' reliable DX11 for me

[spiral root]

I assume your on a windows machine.

Windows Key + R

Then type cmd and enter

Then navigate to the directory that FactoryServer.exe is located.

[flat mirage]

ye i'm getting "not recognized as an internal or external command"

[spiral root]

are you in the dir that FactoryServer.exe is in?

[flat mirage]

so i do have to enter the full directory in the command line?

i have it in x86 which has spaces and that wasn't working either, do I need to move it lol

[spark geyser]

Is there a list of commands I can run?

[vocal jungle]

you can or you can go to that directioy befor running the command

[spiral root]

us dir to navigate to the directory first

then run the command.

[merry bolt]

easiest way is make a text file next to the exe and put the command in there. change the file extension to .bat and then you can run it

[spiral root]

Or encase the filepath in quotes which windows will acceps.

[flat mirage]

k i guess i'll go take a course on cmd prompt now

[vocal jungle]

easyer just to make a batch file in that folder

[flat mirage]

idk what dir did

[lofty latch]

everyone on my server is commenting on how smooth their game is running

having a lot of the gameplay workload being done by a powerful server is clearly benefiting the game

[spiral root]

%appdir% .steam/steamcmd/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer

[merry bolt]

just having the server process separated from the client is enough to make it perform better

[spiral root]

This it true as it will be removing the floating point math from the individual machines.

[spark geyser]

Is there a command to list commands? help doesn't work

[vocal jungle]

no

[spiral root]

Nope just the Wiki for now.

[vocal jungle]

and if there is i have not found any

[spiral root]

And people here.

[merry bolt]

if you open the client console you can get some autocomplete, and some of those commands will also work in the server console, but many of the commands that are listed dont work in either so it is hard to sort through

[fickle horizon]

only command I found is quit

[modern escarp]

Vacadeluna: Did you do anything other than what the wiki said to do?

[fervent wharf]

wOW

I need to take that keybind off lmao

@modern escarp one thing and only 1 thing

[spark geyser]

This page? Or is there a server specific one https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Console

[flat mirage]

%appdir% is not recognized as an internal command blah blah

[spiral root]

C:\Users<user>\AppData\ instead of %appdata% sorry

[fervent wharf]

@modern escarp The only thing different I did was where it says force install directory, I put the ful directory of /home/steam/

[modern escarp]

Yeah, I did that as well.

[spiral root]

Obvs replace Users/<user> with your actual windows username.

[fervent wharf]

@modern escarp What issue are you having?

[spiral root]

Which I wish I did TBH

[flat mirage]

idk im even more confused lol

[modern escarp]

I can connect, but can't join. I can try a few times, but no go.

[merry bolt]

The variable is %localappdata% not %appdir%

[modern escarp]

Eventually, if I don't try to connect over and over again, client crashes.

[fervent wharf]

Any error message at all?

[spiral root]

As its now installed in /home/steam/Steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryServer.sh

[flat mirage]

i just want to start it
C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamCMD\satisfactorydedicatedserver\factoryserver.exe
thats my location

[modern escarp]

(Confirmed by another person as well)

Not exactly. After the disconnect, there is a connection timeout error.

[spiral root]

Ahh right so just open cmd.exe from run.

[fervent wharf]

Can I try and connect?

[modern escarp]

Sure

[fervent wharf]

ok, you can PM me the info if you like

[spiral root]

And when your in cmd just put that but like this...
C:\"Program Files (x86)"\SteamCMD\satisfactorydedicatedserver\factoryserver.exe

or

C:\Program^ Files^ (x86)\SteamCMD\satisfactorydedicatedserver\factoryserver.exe

or

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamCMD\satisfactorydedicatedserver\factoryserver.exe"

[merry bolt]

if you have a folder open, click up in the address bar and type cmd then press enter to open a command prompt directly at that location

[quick mist]

hmm

I have the server installed and running but it does not appear to be listening on any ports

[vocal jungle]

make a file on the desktop called start.bat and just put this in the file C:\"Program Files (x86)"\SteamCMD\satisfactorydedicatedserver\factoryserver.exe -log -unattended

[spiral root]

OR that ^^^

[merry bolt]

bat file is easiest because you only have to set it up once then you can run it easily after that

[dusty plume]

the game runs smoother when i have the server running in background. 🙂

[quick mist]

Fixed! I needed to open UDP, not TCP, ports on the firewall

[spiral root]

I feel there is some serious optimisations to this update too.

[vocal jungle]

gosh darnt fromating

[frosty gale]

Mission complete +respect

[vocal jungle]

had to escape the \

[flat mirage]

ok thank you both @spiral root it was the quotes i was missing in the thing. big +1 for the bat file. is it the same way to shut it down?

[spiral root]

Just close the cmd prompt to close it.

Oh actually maybe not on windows.

[fluid turret]

exit command in game to properly close the server

in the console tab of the server manager

[misty zinc]

So what is dedicated servers supposed to be? Is it just servers that others can join at anytime?

[fluid turret]

google it

its not a new concept

[quick mist]

that's the main thrust, but they have other benefits as well

[spiral root]

Yes this is correct Prom

[misty zinc]

ok thx

[spiral root]

Not so helpful - everyone has to learn at some point dude.

[flat mirage]

i'm not even connected in game yet i just wanted to make sure i got everything correct with steamcmd

[fluid turret]

Yeah unfortunately you cant put any commands externally

and it appears exit is the only command anyways

[covert yew]

Any instability I should be ware of? It seems to be running perfectly right now... almost too perfect.

[fluid turret]

projectiles are funky

[fluid turret]

I cant think of anything apart from ingame assets that generally lag things out

[visual niche]

vehicles seem to work fine

[twilit fox]

What about trains?

[flat mirage]

so this is making my machine the server then right?

[fluid turret]

what ever machine you install it on yes

[spiral root]

If your installing and running it locally then yes.

[twilit fox]

ideally you'll set up a separate machine as server. In normal multiplayer the hosts machine is the server

[fluid turret]

Honestly with a good computer dedi on the same machine as you are playing it better than the normal multiplayer

atleast thats what I am experiencing

[zinc wharf]

Runs great on my 36 core server

[vocal jungle]

trains seam to work but this map only has one train on it lol

[spiral root]

Its running great on my 4 core VPS so I would be surprised if it didn't run well.

[vocal jungle]

only 36 cores

[covert yew]

Runs great on a 4 core proxmox VM

[merry bolt]

as long as you have enough ram to run both at the same time

[spiral root]

Which if you don't have min 16GB of ram on you main PC what are you doing?

[zinc wharf]

Yeah. Was being funny and gave the server 36 core and 256gb ram. Useless but funny

[vocal jungle]

runs great on 7763 but i only gave it 16 cores

[merry bolt]

16 is only enough if you are not also running too much other stuff at the same time

[fluid turret]

If you close chrome you can run the game and server with 8

[flat mirage]

wonder how intensive it is, i have an old machine with a i7-4820k and gtx1080 that mines ethereum 24/7, wonder if i could slap a server on it too lmao

[spiral root]

16 is fine for the server which takes less than 6GB and the game which takes less than 1GB in my experience when server is offloaded.

[vocal jungle]

scuba it would be fine it wont even use the GPU

[covert yew]

My server is at around 4.7

[balmy glacier]

I am running it as a LXC container uses 4 GB ram

[merry bolt]

the client is that low? i had no idea

[cobalt iron]

Will I have to own Satisfactory on steam to be able to install the dedicated server through SteamCmd?

[spiral root]

How long you been up with it?

[fluid turret]

no

[spiral root]

NO

[rocky sentinel]

I have mine in a docker container it's at about 4.8 - 5gb RAM with 2 people on it

[merry bolt]

also no

[vocal jungle]

got mying on a exsi vm

no issues

[covert yew]

You can login anonymously with steamcmd or download the tool through the steam client.

[spiral root]

4.1GB ram still with 2 players on - not gone above at this point - wouldn't run this on a server less than 8GB of ram though as you got issues where it will hard crash if it runs out of Ram.

[balmy glacier]

have not started a base yet, will see and get back to you

[cobalt iron]

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

[zinc wharf]

Same

[merry bolt]

i suspect the amount of stuff built in the world will have a noticable impact on ram usage. would be interesting to test with a mega factory save

[twilit fox]

I think regular game rules still apply. Doesn't matter how many cores, just how fast the cores are. Ex if you have dedi and game running on a 8 core machine, in theory there wouldn't be much performance penalty as game runs on first 3 cores, and dedi uses the rest

[fluid turret]

use +login anonymous or just follow the wiki tutorial

[frosty gale]

Use validate at the end of line

when app_update

[vocal jungle]

my epyc might be over kill might put it on my dell r710 exsi server see how it runs there

[cobalt iron]

@fluid turret that is when using the wiki tutorial 🙂

[rocky sentinel]

Any work around to the gameport not being able to be changed in the linux server?

[spiral root]

Finding game is only use primarily 1 core TBH

[spiral root]

Not at present.

[twilit fox]

My issues is my game currently freezes for.. 45 seconds to complete a autosave. If the dedi client does the same thing then it won't be.. very nice to use

[cobalt iron]

Is the dedicated server only available for windows SteamCmd?

[grizzled harbor]

Im not seeing the client in steam tools.

[covert yew]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers There's windows and linux instructions

[cobalt iron]

Thanks

[spiral root]

Nope both windows and Linux see Wiki

[twilit fox]

It's Linux too.. I think

[vocal jungle]

@twilit fox i haveing had a auto save lockup at all and with this save the time to save is about 5sec

[cobalt iron]

well

I came here because I was following the wiki

[twilit fox]

@vocal jungle how big is your save file?

[vocal jungle]

right now the save i used is about 7 megs

[spiral root]

Where is says "SteamCMD itself is thoroughly documented on the SteamCMD wiki page." follow the instructions there for installing StreamCMD on linux.

[merry bolt]

the lockup still happens, just server side so you dont feel it in the client as a freeze. but you will still get a few seconds where your actions dont register and then they all happen at once to catch up after the save finishes.

[spiral root]

Not experienced but potentially a moment of rubberbanding.

That said I am finding saves are saving in less than 1s ATM

[vocal jungle]

ment to say not locking up

[twilit fox]

So even with dedi.. assuming my computer is equal to yours.. I can expect a 15-20 second save time... Iono if that's acceptable still

[cobalt iron]

@spiral root I already have steamcmd installed on linux, I am hosting other games over it already

[frosty gale]

0.4 sec time here

[merry bolt]

it doesnt seem to rubberband, it just sort of catches back up to where the client is after the save

[frosty gale]

But I have a medium factory AND my server on a M.2 SSD

[twilit fox]

We'll see. M.2 doesn't speed up saving.

[vocal jungle]

tori then just install like you did the other games i used a rust guide and just changed the appid

and the dir to suit my nees

needs

[twilit fox]

Your dedi could have a hdd. Xd it'll still take just as long to save

[merry bolt]

The writing to disk is not what causes the freeze during a save, it is the serialization, which is CPU/memory bound not disk speed bound

[cobalt iron]

funily enough, without any changes, I ran the same command a second time and it just magically worked

thanks all

[flat mirage]

So are we going to have to go the rent hosted servers route or is there a sharding system that steam has? I guess I always pictured it as using OP steam servers

[vocal jungle]

pebkac error was my issue earlier

[twilit fox]

Either way, when I get the chance, I'll try my ~14mb save on the dedi client

[fervent wharf]

All I can say to any linux users is, follow the steamcmd wiki if you dont have steamcmd yet, and follow it to a T.

[flat mirage]

Just remembered it's DDR3 tho 😅

[vocal jungle]

wolfgrim let me know could be about double what i am getting at the moment

[spiral root]

You would need to get hosted server to host a dedicated server or join a community server someone else has setup.

[fervent wharf]

Then change one line in the installation command, put the full home directory on the forced directory spot.

[twilit fox]

You provide your own server @flat mirage or you can rent one

[vocal jungle]

@flat mirage wont make a differance

[spiral root]

Nearly 1am here what is wrong with me.

[vocal jungle]

CezzBB you want a list or is it rhetorical

[spiral root]

Ha Ha That list is too long for char limit on Discord My friend.

[flat mirage]

Yea I wanna use steams hardware not mine haha

[spiral root]

Someone would have to pay for that and it wouldn't be steam it would be Coffee Stain Studios or YOU

[merry bolt]

Valve doesn't generally host game servers. that is not their business

[twilit fox]

^this

[grizzled harbor]

Im not seeing the dedicated server tool in steam tools. tried restarting steam several times. any tricks?

[spiral root]

Use SteamCMD

[twilit fox]

Plus if they did... you want your server to die every tuesday?

[flat mirage]

Oh so it's usually devs managing their own servers?

[spiral root]

Yes.

[merry bolt]

lol so true

[flat mirage]

Makes sense. I thought steam hosted stuff for people a lot more I guess

[vocal jungle]

windows or linux

[grizzled harbor]

@vocal junglewindows

[dim canopy]

yeah the app just doesn't exist as far as my network is concerned

[merry bolt]

They offer a lot of services, but game server hosting is not one of them

[low nest]

okay., found a error on the dedicated servers. try it on 2 different servers now
if i dismantle a lot of things on the server
10+ items at the same time.
only 1 player or more players
the server is making a

Oct 26, 2021, 11:47 PM

[meager summit]

best get all these bugs put promptly onto the QA site so they can look at it in the morning

[merry bolt]

i recommend posting this on the questions site because it will get lost here.

[low nest]

@meager summit maybe others have the same problem.

[meager summit]

if you dont use the QA site, most likely youll get drowned out unless a dev is in active chat

[vocal jungle]

install steamcmd, then in the console for steamcmd do login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 +quit

[meager summit]

point being, QA site is where you would verify that, people can search and upvote if they have the same issues and what not. Its the proper place for bug reports

that being said, ive seen a few people now mention about mass dismantling causing crashes

[flat mirage]

LOL I just imagined them coming to work and reading everything in the morning 😂😂

[vocal jungle]

@meager summit that just mean everyone is playing no dismantle game mode

[spiral root]

Oooff no dismantle mode

[balmy glacier]

Loaded an old save (19hr playtime) big base 4.1 GB ram

[meager summit]

jace can provide a full tactics guide on no dismantle %

[spiral root]

best get that belt in the right place first time.

[meager summit]

well with soft clearance, it might not be as bad now lol

[spiral root]

true just run it through itself and back to the input.

[vocal jungle]

mix that in with the complex clearance and we have a party

[merry bolt]

@low nestif your error looks like this one, maybe reply and add any additional info you have: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/6178614e831c852052352605

[low nest]

@merry bolt nope . not the same in the log

[vocal jungle]

thinking update 5 will be the longest yet to get to EA

[spiral root]

Zooping really helps you burn through concrete quickly lol

[gaunt zenith]

I'm not seeing the dedicated server in my Steam library, is SteamCMD the only option right now?

[vocal jungle]

not just concrete now plates too

[spiral root]

Yes StreamCMD is the only option for now.

[vocal jungle]

@gaunt zenith what Cezzbb said

[spiral root]

True that.

[green summit]

is this the only way to get the bits right now?

They mentioned a container on the stream I thought

[woeful citrus]

Is there someone who can make a guide how to setup dedicated server for windows

[nimble harness]

A fellow has posted a how to on the tube managed to get father in last 20 mins than the last 3 hours

[spiral root]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[woeful citrus]

Because damm its anoyingly not working

[vocal jungle]

found a dupe load save in EA put down 10000 foundation load in to Exp free iron plates lol

[spiral root]

I would create a Tutorial Video on YT but the guys with better editing skills than me will get there first.

[woeful citrus]

Ha i tried opening al ports and do it with clean instal over again in sad now

[nimble harness]

got the stat.bat running can load into game but says server not autheticated yet

[spiral root]

Are you opening the port to UDP or TCP?

[woeful citrus]

Both

[quick mist]

looks like in servers the game doesn't know how to stop making slugs glow after they're picked up:

[spiral root]

And all 3 ports?

[woeful citrus]

Yes

[flat mirage]

so if i want to shut the server down or my pc or whatever, whats the best procedure?

[vocal jungle]

@kindred sluice correct you need to claim it

[nimble harness]

ok guess need to read more

[woeful citrus]

I believe 15000, 15777 and 2222

[vocal jungle]

just hit the button to auth it

[spiral root]

15000 15777 and 7777 not 2222

[vocal jungle]

it will finnish the setup with you

[spiral root]

Go into console through the server manager and type exit

That will shutdown the server and they you can close the game.

[woeful citrus]

I meant that yea

[nimble harness]

um hit what button i must be blind as a bat

[spiral root]

It should come up with a pop-up asking you to give the server a name.

And to set a password etc.

[nimble harness]

says offline

[spiral root]

Where does it say "server not autheticated yet"

[nimble harness]

top left corner

[spiral root]

Ahhh right so its still offline - you opened the ports?

What is the output in the commandline?

[flat mirage]

perfect thank you

[meager summit]

dont forget to report any bugs you find on the QA site ;p

[nimble harness]

Well I appreciate your help as I am not a network educated gamer

[spiral root]

Found a big bug - It is stopping me from being able to go to sleep - it is the whole game.

[faint wagon]

engrish in the logs 😂
[2021.10.27-00.05.18:565][989]LogFactory: Warning: Put down failed because we where never equipped.

[meager summit]

you trying to host one frosty?

[covert yew]

Yea thats probably a port forwarding issue or you typed the address wrong.

[spiral root]

It is like I found out that a Xeno-Zapper is called a "Equip_ShockShank_C_2147473131" in the code.

[nimble harness]

Well that's the general idea I would like to make sure that we can all keep working on the same save even if the primary person on steam Em isn't online

[visual willow]

swenglish

[spiral root]

A Shock Shank - Whichever dev called it that is amazing and needs a payrise.

[subtle sundial]

lizard doggo = SpaceRabbit

[spiral root]

Even better.

[visual willow]

Satisfactory = FactoryGame

[subtle sundial]

i forget what other one there was that cracked me up

[spiral root]

What is the Beans real name?

[meager summit]

factory game is an unreal default, and unreal doesnt make changing names nice

[visual willow]

don't worry I know, was just continuing the theme

[meager summit]

i heard they added a golf club "Vamonoser"

[spiral root]

When they started playing golf for either one or the other I was convinced they were going to draw and then just add both.

[merry bolt]

If you are hosting from Windows, and your windows firewall is setup securely, you also need to add firewall rules to allow incoming connections to the game server in addition to any router port forwarding you may need to do or no one will be able to connect to the server from a remote location.

[covert yew]

^

[faint wagon]

setting up the infrastructure to run the server is just as fun as playing IMO

[spiral root]

Yes people don't forget your router or VCN Routing as well as your firewalls.

[tame surge]

what are the servers addresses

[spiral root]

There are no server addresses Legacy.

Dedicated Servers as so you can setup and host your own server.

[tame surge]

ook

[merry bolt]

In my setup, I have to configure 3 things to allow a port through to my server (local firewall, router firewall, port forwarding)

[nimble harness]

So I got all my inbound in my outbound I've got the ports forwarded in the start bat

[spiral root]

Your Start.bat opening ports on the router side?

[nimble harness]

Server command stays open with 2 windows

No I set it up in the command line of the server setup program

Unless the fellow on YouTube Set it wrong but it looks legit

[spiral root]

Is the server on your local machine the same machine you are trying to connect to it on?

[fluid turret]

you dont port forward in a start bat

[spiral root]

So your startup script may be telling the server what ports to use but you would still need to open those ports on your router.

[merry bolt]

For debugging purposes, if your server and client are on the same local network, you can connect to the local ip of the server machine from the client to determine if the issue is local to the server machine or external (router or whatever)

[spiral root]

The Dedicated Server doesn't have an UPNP as far as I can tell.

[nimble harness]

It could be our company's Cable restrictions too I'm gonna have to dig into the company router

[fluid turret]

yea not all ISP's allow port forwarding

[quick mist]

And here we observe the delivery shuttle, hanging silently in the air in exactly the manner that bricks don't.

[nimble harness]

I'm an advanced Tech for a major cable company and we have routers that have several ports blocked for security I'm just can't remember which ones or what

[cobalt iron]

IS the dedicated server for version 4 or 5?

[fluid turret]

5

[nimble harness]

Many of our company's routers are smart routers With port restrictions

[spiral root]

Version 5 only Tori

[cobalt iron]

Thanks

[fluid turret]

you can only access the menu to join a dedicated server with Update 5

[spiral root]

Was this in previous versions?

[worthy forge]

Yes, it was.

[spiral root]

Not sure how I never noticed an Orange Screen of Death before

[fluid turret]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Easter_eggs#The_HUB

[spiral root]

Right its bedtime for me I have work in 7hours then I need to get back to playing after.

[meager summit]

that my good sir is not just on dedicated as i just found out

[jaunty gyro]

any issues with updating the server and then not being compatible with clients?

[merry bolt]

i expect that a lot of bugs will just be new game bugs that affect everyone regardless of dedicated server or not. aside from the server itself crashing or something, there is not much reason to suspect that dedicated servers are the cause of a bug. in most ways, playing on a dedicated server should be about the same as connecting to some other player who is hosting

[quick mist]

Both client and server have to be on Experimental

[fluid turret]

have you used the command in steamcmd to update the tool?

[jaunty gyro]

@quick mist they are.

[fluid turret]

You literally cant have a server not on experimental

the problem is between hotfixes

they are completely incompatible

[merry bolt]

when a patch goes out, you have to rerun the steamcmd app_update as well as make sure the clients get updated via steam or epic

[quick mist]

something is wrong with this picture.

[fluid turret]

steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 +exit
Is the short command for just updating

[jaunty gyro]

i did update the server with steamcmd, and updated client with epic.

[fluid turret]

Sometimes when updating it reinstalls the tool to a different directory

[merry bolt]

maybe try again. if you did it too close to the update getting pushed out, it may have hit one place before the other

[fluid turret]

check the modified dates on your files

[balmy glacier]

LinuxGSM added Satisfactory

[karmic plaza]

got everything installed and updated and ports forwarded and client doesn't see server as online 😦

[merry bolt]

i recommend always including force_install_dir else it may end up installing the update somewhere else

[cobalt iron]

I keep getting UniqueId: INVALID
when trying to connect, any suggestions?

[merry bolt]

if it is not seen at all then your query port isnt working

[faint wagon]

Seems the system daemon examples are a little different than where the default installation location is

[jaunty gyro]

@merry bolt good idea, i'll try that

everythign was golden until the hotfix

[faint wagon]

shows /home/steam/Satisfactory... rather that /home/youruser/.steam/steamcmd/Satisfactory....

[rocky sentinel]

I found that you need the full path to get it in another directory, not just the directory name

[merry bolt]

yes this is always the case with steamcmd

[quick mist]

To be fair the instructions start with "we're going to assume you're using a local user called steam... "

[karmic plaza]

i did get a couple steam errors while the server was starting (home/steam/.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so missing), but not sure what to do about it..

[faint wagon]

@quick mist yeah, the path is still wrong

[frosty gale]

has anyone successfully gotten a dedicated server up? not trying to join, im just wondering

[fluid turret]

yes

[covert yew]

Plenty of us

[fluid turret]

Many people in fact

[frosty gale]

nice

[thorny magnet]

Hey guys - with the patch that came out at 4PM, do I need to update the server files or anything like that?

[nimble harness]

this old fart stills got a tail between his legs

[fluid turret]

Got in a server with 11 people, cant wait for the streamers to get raided cause there is no password protection yet
