dedicated-servers

[meager summit]

Asked uzu to add a "dedicated server" tag to the QA site, should help them more easily find dedi issues if you use it

[slim spoke]

great idea joshie

xtra bedtime cookies for u

[meager summit]

Make sure you all report those 0 bugs you find

[dreamy nexus]

I did, Joshie. Figured I'd mention it here in case someone was like "OH! You just need to <fill in the blank>"

[slim spoke]

did u set urself up as admin

[meager summit]

Yeah for sure discussing here is fine, just gotta make sure people use the QA site too (:

[dreamy nexus]

yea

[rustic lodge]

So you're saying that posting 3 stickers isn't behaving correctly

You're just a snowflake

You and sanctum

[slim spoke]

what are u that ur still going on about it

[meager summit]

The bait is real

Do not feed le troll ;)

[loud saddle]

I'm saying that posting any unrelated stickers in dedi server help channel is bad

[small field]

shut up about the stickers before you get yourself banned

[snow hamlet]

hi guys sorry if this has already been asked: will a server with 4G RAM be able to handle 3-4, or maybe occasionally more players?

[meager summit]

Its recommended for 8gb isnt it?

[slim spoke]

oh now he is dming me

[marsh dawn]

Dedi seems to be rather RAM hungry

[slim spoke]

wonder what crap awaits me

[winged sonnet]

iirc a default server with nothing on it uses 5GB + so no

[steady hollow]

6+GB minimum, 8+gb preferred

[slim spoke]

aleak im going to send teh dm to mods

[whole nacelle]

When opening ports, what should I put as external ports ?

[loud saddle]

Same as internal

[steady hollow]

15777, 15000, 7777 as udp

^^^ THIS IS IMPORTANT

[whole nacelle]

Ok

[snow hamlet]

awww i see... thanks!

[meager summit]

Says on wiki on the first part kek

[whole nacelle]

And Internal host is my IP address right ?

[woeful igloo]

what kind of port would the server come under dns server or something else ?

[snow hamlet]

but... uh... what if we are running on linux? will that ease the RAM requirement a little bit?

[steady hollow]

its your server's internal IP

[steady hollow]

nope, same thing

[rustic lodge]

Understandable

[steady hollow]

maybe you can use swap? but wouldnt reccomend it

[snow hamlet]

lol got it okay

[loud saddle]

Is your internal iP address (192.168.x.x )

[whole nacelle]

The 192.168 thingy ?

[steady hollow]

yes, iirc

[whole nacelle]

Ok got it

[meager summit]

Whatever your server machine is running on/its local ip

[woeful igloo]

what kind of port would i use to port forward the server ?

[meager summit]

Theyre listed on the wiki page in the pins

Theyre all udp to forward

[whole nacelle]

So, I can see my server online using either localhost, or my internal IP as address (which makes sense) but I don't see it when using my public IP address

[woeful igloo]

my bad ive never portforwarded before im talking about the port mapping what kind would it come under im thinking just a dns server and then it is udp type with the ports

[frosty gale]

Can I get some advice on port forwarding? I think I opened port 15777, but I can't connect.

[grand geode]

most routers don't do nat loopback well you should use external ip address from outside your network

[slim spoke]

here is his msg .. aleak_r — Today at 7:50 AM
I will continue posting stickers regardless of if you approve it or not, i have the perms to do it and I'll continue unless a mod tells me to stop
I'm blocking you, you're causing drama over a sticker grow up

[meager summit]

Keep it to dms or dm it to a mod, dont clutter here

[slim spoke]

might as well share tha tu dont care about what the otehrs asked u

[whole nacelle]

What do you mean ?

[meager summit]

External ip wont work from your local machine

[grand geode]

you cannot connect to yourself from yourself

[loud saddle]

You should ask friend to test it

[whole nacelle]

Ok got it

[slim spoke]

use 127.0.0.1

internal ip

lol

[rustic lodge]

<@&387163995947270144> this guy causing drama in game chat

[foggy agate]

you opened the port with udp or tcp?

[whole nacelle]

Is the Ip address the same for all devices in the same network ? (My guess is yes)

[woeful igloo]

ive never portforwarded before im talking about the port mapping what kind would it come under im thinking just a dns server and then it is udp type with the ports

[frosty gale]

?

[slim spoke]

haha

[meager summit]

Aleak please stop messing now, its clutter

[rustic lodge]

Bru i just reported the rule break to the mods 🗿

[foggy agate]

you don't need a dns server until you use a domain name....

[loud saddle]

Have you also reported your spam to mods?

[woeful igloo]

oh ok so what would the dedi come under then ?

[rustic lodge]

Mhm

[meager summit]

Thats 2 wasted mod pings lol. Theyrr just gonne tell you both to quit it

[frosty gale]

i opened with udp cuz wiki doing that

[winged sonnet]

If you are having trouble port forwarding the best advice is googling "router model port forwarding" usually unless you have some obscure brand there will be a guide specific to your router

[meager summit]

I gotta go to work now, play nice kids, make sure to read the wiki and report bugs ;)

[foggy agate]

just use either the internal IP if you are on your home network or use the external ip if you use a server in a datacenter or a host service

if internal on your pc you could also use localhost

[slim spoke]

i didnt bother the mods im just catching up on the chat

[tacit finch]

come hack me. My IP address is 10.245.21.5

😄

[foggy agate]

then you are right. make sure your port is open with a port scanner 🙂

[tacit finch]

❤️ 😂

[whole nacelle]

Would geforce now work as a separate device ?

[frosty gale]

thats good idea

[woeful igloo]

maybe however you cant access the server files that you would need via geforce now tho

[foggy agate]

no because you can just host the game itself there, no headless server.

[loud saddle]

My ip: 127.0.0.1, hack me if you can

[tacit finch]

Mine was atleast not that much used xD

[whole nacelle]

Ok but if I launch the server from my computer, then try to access it from Geforce now (same computer) should it work ?

[tacit finch]

Probably

No gurantee

[foggy agate]

that should work fine yeah.

[rustic lodge]

Yes

[whole nacelle]

I'll tell you in a few minutes

[tacit finch]

Ah wait GeForce now had these weird network settings..

[foggy agate]

make sure your router is forwording the right ports to your pcs then

[whole nacelle]

They don't have exp

[tacit finch]

I say 50/50

[whole nacelle]

f this

oh wait

nvm

[foggy agate]

you could also use hetzner cloud, there you could get a linux server with 4 cores and 8 gb ram for 10 bucks a month

(the cheapest I know with full controll)

[woeful igloo]

yeah but is that usd or pounds or what ?

[whole nacelle]

yeah no they don't have the experimental version of satisfactory

[tacit finch]

I know a server with 4 cores 8 gb 300gb hdd for 5 bucks

[marsh dawn]

bucks is usually usd no?

[unique mortar]

anyone know why I can't connect to my server?

[tacit finch]

let me ask my crystalball

[unique mortar]

I set it up and forwarded all the ports

[grand geode]

its probably trash vm which is overloaded

[tacit finch]

nope

works fine

[foggy agate]

use localhost instead of public Ip please

[unique mortar]

and the game just says lmao this server apears to be offline

[unique mortar]

It's on a different machine

no localhost

[slim spoke]

on lan use lan ip

[foggy agate]

then use the internal ip of the machine

[tacit finch]

different machine within the same network?

[unique mortar]

lan ip says no too

[slim spoke]

then u did it wrong somehow

[foggy agate]

windows firewall? (if windows)?

[unique mortar]

yes its 192.168.1.3

like that

so a local ip

[tacit finch]

tell the correct Ip...its not like we can do anything with it o_O

[foggy agate]

then you might want to check the pc with a port scanner to check if no firewall is in the way.

[short flower]

If you ctrl c the server, does it save or not?

[unique mortar]

what should I do with the firewall?

[tacit finch]

Now we need 2 more informations.

What's the localIP of your Router
Whats the localIP of your Client (Your PC)

[foggy agate]

open the ports too.

[grand geode]

windows can't portscan for udp ports correctly.... needs complex tools lol

[unique mortar]

did that on the router

[foggy agate]

you can do that on WSL

[unique mortar]

or should I do it on the machine too?

[foggy agate]

yes

[tacit finch]

What kind of machine?

[unique mortar]

windows server

[tacit finch]

Then yes

[short flower]

Question, Why use a windows server for a game server?

[tacit finch]

is communication to the Windows Server even possible within the same network?

[foggy agate]

on Windows Server make sure you are on the right network profile (for example internal network or domain network.)

[foggy agate]

yes

[foggy agate]

why not if you have one with overhead anyways

[unique mortar]

because it does more than just be a game server

[short flower]

Hm k, Should always go linux if you want performance and low overhead

[unique mortar]

I've used it for minecraft before so idk

[trail lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/frankenstein-its-alive-gif-10618052

ITS ALIVE!

[unique mortar]

I am currently building a linux based server but I am waiting for the parts

[short flower]

ah k

[whole nacelle]

So, I currently can't test the server, so can someone please test it for me ? I'll send the address in your DMs

[unique mortar]

IS WORKING

[tacit finch]

magic

[unique mortar]

port on the server did the trick

[foggy agate]

why?

[trail lichen]

now that I got it working - what is the best way to "benchmark" servers?
Many moving items on belts?
Hypertube travel?

[unique mortar]

didn't know that you had to do that. My brain associated port forwarding with the router because that's the only thing i have done until now. Me stupid

[whole nacelle]

I can connect to it, but that's because it's the same device that hosts it. I don't know if anyone else can connect

[slim spoke]

use internet ip

[foggy agate]

I would guess you should do the moving items on the belts or in general many moving entities, from my analytics that seems to increase the load the most.

[worn heath]

Forwarded all ports + even tried disabling firewall, issue where query port is not working like ingame its shows offline

[whole nacelle]

wdym ?

[foggy agate]

if you can, everyone else should do the same

[slim spoke]

ip they would use on net

if u use u go out onto net and back to ip

[whole nacelle]

I tried, it shows server as offline. You mean my public IP right ?

[foggy agate]

are you on a windows or linux host?

[worn heath]

linux

[slim spoke]

yes the information that people would have to use to connect to urs

[whole nacelle]

The thing is the address I use is localhost, so it just shows my server works internally

[foggy agate]

the public IP prob won't get send to you back. So thats why you arn't able to connect.

[foggy agate]

right. 🙂

[whole nacelle]

I need it to work from anywhere

[trail lichen]

hm... ok, so the best way to test different hardware settings would be to create a variation for different save files with moving Items

• 1000
• 2000
• 3000

and so on.

Any better idea?

[slim spoke]

15777 is the port u have to have working.. its the query port

[foggy agate]

for now that should do the trick

[whole nacelle]

I think it is, but I don't know

[foggy agate]

from what I've read on QA it isn't up there right now, only via SteamCMD.

[foggy agate]

you can do a port scan on the public ip to check weather the ports are open or closed.

[whole nacelle]

Ok I'll try that thanks

[short flower]

everyone keeps saying the save files in my root dir, They are not, The server has rebooted and kept the save so its saved somewhere and the server is is /home/steam/.steam/steamcmd/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer, I could not get it anywhere else.

Any other locations?

[foggy agate]

you can set the location via a command from steam cmd wait a sec

[short flower]

force_install_dir

Already did that, does not change it

I tried multiple combinations of that

[winged sonnet]

Server files or save files after you have started a server and connected?

[short flower]

Save

[winged sonnet]

The save files are in appdata on windows so whatever the linux equivalent is

[short flower]

there is no appdata on linux....

[foggy agate]

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

[cold ibex]

Hi may i know how to fix this "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."

[worn heath]

wtf is happening i have 2x ips on my dedicated server on ovh, using main ip nothing using both something happens and i see ping meanwhile server is not running on that ip even

[cold ibex]

i added -NOSTEAM still same

[worn heath]

its any way to host server not on main ip?

because i think thats my issue

[short flower]

Finally appeared thanks

[foggy agate]

what do you mean?

[slim spoke]

u can host on ip

maybe not ipv6 only though

[worn heath]

server is running on allocated server with ip 1 meanwhile its not working adding 2 which is main ip i see ping from server wtf

i need to add these both ips in server manager to see server ping

[winged sonnet]

try -MultiHome=iphere

[worn heath]

bruh its now working

thanks

[whole nacelle]

Ok, my ports are open, hope it works

[foggy agate]

I should! If not check the windows firewall.

We might should create a bash and .ps1 script for installing everything for users also open the ports needed.

[lilac forge]

Dedicated server is not listed on my Steam menu. How do I prompt it to install without using steamcmd?

[foggy agate]

from what I read on the QA site it isn't shown on steam right now

[slim spoke]

pinned messages

[lilac forge]

Yeah, might have to use steamcmd to force it to install.

The wiki says it should be listed it isn't.

If it's not listed there is a steam: download link they could theoretically provide.

[whole nacelle]

Is there a place where I can see all the settings that can be modified through config files

?

BTW slow mode isn't enabled here

[foggy agate]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/61788fa9831c852052352a76

[foggy agate]

FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/

FactoryGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/

[marsh dawn]

Probably fine for now, it's not too spammy.

[whole nacelle]

No I meant the names of the settings I can modify, not where the files are

Like for multiplayer I think

[slim spoke]

look in the files there is list of things u can mess with

but there isnt alot as they are just getting the basics ironed out

[whole nacelle]

I only have some max bandwitdh settings

And the server settings

[slim spoke]

there isnt a bunch of options

there is few port things and such thats it

[foggy agate]

I think the options, you could modify are the ones that are in the UI

[whole nacelle]

autosave on disconnect and autopause

[whole nacelle]

I don't even have those

[slim spoke]

they are making working dedis before they start coding all the other stuff

open the config files

[whole nacelle]

I did, each and every one of them

[slim spoke]

or sarch here for bogdan talking

[whole nacelle]

most are completely empty

[slim spoke]

there is nothign for u to screw with

[cold ibex]

how to change from private -> friend? in order to get the sessionID

[slim spoke]

they are teh most basic servers possible

[whole nacelle]

Yeah, but hey at least it works

[slim spoke]

yes but doesnt change ur answer

[hushed lance]

There is no sessionID. it all IP based

[whole nacelle]

yeah

[cold ibex]

oh so how my friend going to join the dedicated server?

[hushed lance]

You give them your Public IP and they type it in

[slim spoke]

wiki search dedicated servers

[foggy agate]

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

[foggy agate]

everything you need to know in order to get it working on a fresh system is in there.

[sonic wind]

Now I will try run it on a Raspberry Pi

[steep cave]

i'm curious if it work on Raspberry PI

[fickle zinc]

unless its compiled for ARM it likely wont run on RPi

[slim spoke]

someone was going to use x86 emulation

[fickle zinc]

gross lol

[slim spoke]

which can run factorio

[fickle zinc]

Factorio is a lot less resource intensive

[slim spoke]

so are dedis

[sonic wind]

oh

[sonic wind]

Oh true

[fickle zinc]

In terms of GPU yes, but CPU and Memory?? not much

[slim spoke]

pi4 8gb ram here

[sonic wind]

ye

[fickle zinc]

give it a go, but I dont suspect you'll have a great experience on a pi

[sonic wind]

So

[slim spoke]

naaa i dont care

[sonic wind]

im using ubuntu

[foggy agate]

you should try to compile it from source with the arm dependencies installed.

might work

[slim spoke]

not touching my linux setup

[cold ibex]

is it join from steam server?

[fickle zinc]

Source is private

[hushed lance]

No

[hushed lance]

In the game

[foggy agate]

oh yeah it does come as a binary, then there is no chance to get it working until valve port it.

or use emulation

[cold ibex]

join game -> join via session id?

[foggy agate]

no use the server manager tab

[fickle zinc]

No, in Experimental there is a Server Manager Tab

[hushed lance]

This is correct

[cold ibex]

ohh port is it 15000 for join?

[fickle zinc]

Port should be filled by default if you didn't change it

[slim spoke]

15777 is query port

no idea if its right or not lol

[dry prawn]

hello how my friend can join my server?

[fickle zinc]

Have you read the wiki?

[slim spoke]

look up

they are just telling guy how

[dry prawn]

yeah but i haven't find how

[cold ibex]

okay yeah is working now

thanks

[slim spoke]

in game u goto server thing they said above

[fickle zinc]

Read the instructions that were just given to Andrew Khor

[golden harbor]

Anyone made a docker container for linux yet?

[fickle zinc]

Check the Wiki

[fickle zinc]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Installation_with_Docker_and_docker-compose

[golden harbor]

yea that just goes to the top of the page for me wat

[fickle zinc]

refresh your cache

[golden harbor]

okie

[fickle zinc]

oh wait nvm.. weird, its been removed since I loaded last

[golden harbor]

doesn't show in private mode bru

[fickle zinc]

now this has me concerned, because I installed it Via docker last night. and I wonder if there is an issue with the docker container I'm using.

fwiw, this is the image, therealhenning/satisfactory:latest

[golden harbor]

you wrote it?

[fickle zinc]

no

it was on the wiki last night, but has been removed since

[golden harbor]

ight

[warm spindle]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers?oldid=39939#Installation_with_Docker_and_docker-compose

[golden harbor]

thank u

[fickle zinc]

ok, but why was it removed? is there a problem with that container?

[slim spoke]

people cant just slap up files for people

wiki and devs arent going to be responsible

[fickle zinc]

alright, I'll cautiously continue using it, but I would rather use an official container

[rocky sentinel]

I don't believe there is an official container yet, they mentioned there might be one in the future, but I haven't seen any evidence that there is one

[fickle zinc]

This is correct

[golden harbor]

unless he does some funky shit in start.sh

it appears fine

[rocky violet]

I presume they want to get GamePort argument working, then they will also publish the official docker

[rocky sentinel]

That's kind of what I'm waiting on

[slim spoke]

yes but wiki cant just ahve randoms posting files for anyone to run

never know who puts up what

[umbral olive]

Any ideas on this error? Have changed beacon+gameport port arg and reverted, tried -MultiHome=iphere, tried a couple differ things in command line but nothing seems to work, thx

[rocky violet]

do you have ports open in your router?

[foggy agate]

you could create your own docker contrainer, you don't need to wait for an official container. Also I think Steam CMD is allready in a official container. Let my check that

[rocky sentinel]

The issue with docker I'm running in to is the stop method, when you do a docker stop, it just shuts down everything, doesn't seem to send a SIGINT to cleanly shut down the server. This is a problem with a new installation as unless it is cleanly shut down it doesn't seem to create the LinuxServer config directory unless you shut it down cleanly. Running quit from the in-game console solves this, but you can't just kill the process or stop the docker container.

[fickle zinc]

gameport and beacon port change is not working right now you need to use defaults

[livid berry]

How can i Import my Local Save File to the Server Saves ?

[umbral olive]

k, yea default, and override argument gave me same results, but yes there are open @rocky violet

[foggy agate]

steamcmd/steamcmd is on docker hub

[slim spoke]

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

all you need to know for servers

[rocky violet]

changing beacon port worked for me

[foggy agate]

Loading save file
Step 1: Find the desired save file and Session name in the Load tab in the main menu.
Session Name is of critical importance, save files only display it if they haven't been renamed while being saved, the only way to see the Session Name otherwise is from the Load Menu or a save editor
Step 2: Locate save file in SaveGames folder and copy the .sav
Windows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames
Linux:
~.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames
Step 3: Paste/Transfer save file to the SaveGames\server folder
Windows (local):
%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server
Linux:
~.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server
Step 4: Insert the Session Name from step 1 into the server settings tab in Server Manager, then press ↵ Enter. The server should initiate a search for the save file with the matching Session Name.
To reiterate, Session Name & Save File Name are not the same, Session Name cannot be changed without a save editor, renaming a .sav file does not change the Session Name.
Other platforms/setups will have differing folder structures, the key point of this tutorial is finding Session Name.

This is a temporary/manual method while the Manage Saves feature is not implemented.

[fickle zinc]

thats weird, its not supposed to be working 😐

[slim spoke]

i linked that info lol

[rocky violet]

redirecting is not working

[fickle zinc]

oh is it just changing the gameport thats not working

[slim spoke]

search in this room bogdan talking

he explained things u can do with the ports for that

[rocky violet]

#dedicated-servers message

[umbral olive]

ya i changed them previously, gameport and beacon, connected to gameport fine after argument override, just once game is created i get same error.

have since reverted the override argument, and same issue.

hold on, is alot of talk of it from bogdan, thx for link, will read up more on it

[foggy agate]

I have some latency issue, but I have 10 ms ping to my server. the items created lag a tiny bit. (maybe around 2 sec)

[fickle zinc]

hmm, I have not experienced any type of lag, was playing for 5 hours last night.

[foggy agate]

for a strange reason this just happens with ingots 😄

[lofty latch]

I remain astounded at how many people are setting up Satisfactory servers

[grand geode]

most here seem to not be on actual server but on same machine they are playing on

[lofty latch]

the data I'm getting from AMP says it's roughly a 50/50 split

I can't see that it's Satisfactory specifically, but the balance has changed over the last 24h

way more Linux than Windows though, so some of the IP classifications might be wrong

[fickle zinc]

I suspect there are a bunch of people that are only doing it because its new, not because they need to setup a server.

[grand geode]

Yup. Or to find out how to do it before they actually do it.

[calm saffron]

Definitely an element of that - I'm setting up a server (probably paying for hosting) to verify that it's even playable with players distributed across the world (hosting the server roughly in the middle), but probably won't actually use it regularly until U5 hits the "stable" EA branch, and the worst dedicated server issues have been fixed.

[woven prism]

Any cpu/gpu requirements/recommendations for a server?

Wondering if something like an optiplex 780 would suffice

[rocky sentinel]

I don't think there's any GPU requirements. For CPU I've been running it on 8gb RAM with 4 threads for CPU

I haven't seen my server hit more than 5gb with 3 people connected, and barely above 1 thread for CPU

[lofty latch]

My server has hit 5.6GB with 9 players max

it seems to level off fast

[upbeat owl]

Could someone pass me a dedicated server?

[lofty latch]

instaban.com is live if you just want one to connect to

[upbeat owl]

Alright, thanks!

[serene lava]

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? running it on windows with steamCMD (or trying to anyway)

[woven prism]

Does it help having a lot of weak cores though?

[lofty latch]

that's normal and its working fine

[serene lava]

oh haha

well good to know, thanks 😛

so others can now connect to it through my ip on port 15000 right?

[lofty latch]

yes

[serene lava]

sweet

[lofty latch]

you need to forward all 3 ports tho

[dry prawn]

hello how can i find the ip of my serveur

[serene lava]

yeah did that

just google whats my ip

and find your ip

[dry prawn]

and my frend can join with that?

[lost plover]

Yes

[serene lava]

yeah if you forwarded the ports like mike said

[dry prawn]

ok ok thanks

[serene lava]

you need ipv4 btw not 6

[turbid violet]

Are the servers cross platform, e.g Epic version will be able to join?

[marsh dawn]

Should be yes.

[upbeat owl]

I'm on

[weary frost]

help i get stuck on this bit and can't get any further

[bleak salmon]

hey im trying to create a server on amp. do i need a licence key for it?

[upbeat owl]

Check the wiki

[bleak salmon]

me or trevorking?

[dusk frost]

It should be up and running now.

[weary frost]

so do i just run my game now?

[lofty latch]

You do, but it's cheap

and you can use it for things other than Satisfactory

[bleak salmon]

its 8,50€ right?

[balmy glacier]

would just use LGSM

[lofty latch]

closer to 8.90 EUR but yes

[upbeat owl]

You, I'm pretty sure you don't need a licence key

[bleak salmon]

huh

well what do i do now?

[dusk frost]

Ya, if you have all your ports forwarded and firewall setup right, should be able to launch the game and do the first time setup.

[lofty latch]

you do for AMP

[bleak salmon]

is there a free way i havent heard of?

[outer ocean]

over steam cmd i think it is free

[bleak salmon]

alright

its probably on wiki right?

[lofty latch]

it's all on the wiki - AMP is the easy, automated way (but costs), you can do it all manually if you don't need/want that

[twin shadow]

how can i join a friend server?

[cinder wind]

Clic add server, then enter their IP and password

[twin shadow]

my friend put localhost, but does that mean his ip?

[cinder wind]

You need his public IP address

[twin shadow]

I have it but when I put it it comes out as if it were my server

[dusk frost]

He put local host because it's his server on his local network. You'll need his public IP or hostname.

[cinder wind]

Does it say Join game, or Claim server?

[twin shadow]

it says that it is offline

[upbeat owl]

Ah

[cinder wind]

He may need to double check his port forwarding

[hushed lance]

Sounds like a networking problem

[steep cave]

did you friend have opened the 3 port ?

[frosty gale]

uh.. how can i stop the server

[balmy glacier]

linux: ctrl+c
windows: type exit or quit

[bleak salmon]

does anyone know why i cant find the server in my steam library? i have tools turned on

[steep cave]

@bleak salmon steamCMD

[hushed lance]

Steam tools is broken

[bleak salmon]

steamcmd?

[steep cave]

use the command given on the wiki

[queen bone]

I have had problems importing a save even with following the steps from the wiki with the session name nothing seems to happen has anyone had succces with it ?

[twin shadow]

How to open port 3?

[balmy glacier]

yes, I imported a save from April

[bleak salmon]

i mean there are other dedicated server for other games there so i thought i was messing something up

[meager summit]

Copy the save you want into the server sava data folder. Join your server game as normal -> load game should have your new save in the list and that will upload it

[steep cave]

yes you can use steamCMD to download the dedicated server check the wiki of steamCMD and satisfactory one you'll get all info to how to get it

@twin shadow Internet box you can manage any port you want

[cinder wind]

Depends on his router, have to find the settings for port forwarding them forward the necessary ports to the machine the server is on.

[queen bone]

I'm not sure I understand. When I start the server on the server manager page I cannot join the server

the server is running on another machine

[meager summit]

The message i read said you were having trouble importing a save, not connecting to the server?

[visual willow]

Hey, has anyone yet started decoding the beacon protocol?

[hushed lance]

Sounds like you have a routing problem

[zinc crypt]

hi pionner i have a little problem i'm epic player and i do steamcmd install and bla bla bla but when i want to start satisfactory dedicated server on steam it's not start

[queen bone]

I can see the server in the server manager

But it doesn't detect my imported save

[meager summit]

Did you add the launch commands explained on the wiki?

[queen bone]

It only allows me to create a new one

[hushed lance]

Check your task manager

[balmy glacier]

have to create a new one and then you can change the Session name to match imported save

[weary frost]

cheers my dude

[queen bone]

Oh okay

I will try that thanks

[weary frost]

now will i have to run the dedicated server thing i setup each time or is it a one and done

[meager summit]

Setup is one time

[vocal jungle]

inless thers a update

[zinc saffron]

I think that, dedicated servers has some memory leaks, just a hint by the amount of ram needed for nothing in the map

[cinder wind]

Need to make a script that launches the server on machine startup.

[weary frost]

really that gonna be a drag

[cinder wind]

You can automate the script

Are you on Windows or Linux?

[weary frost]

windows

[meager summit]

Isnt that pretty easy to do with the task scheduler?

[marsh dawn]

Task scheduler 😂

[meager summit]

I forget its name or if w10 even has it, its been a while

[marsh dawn]

It's correct, it's just terrible 😄

[cinder wind]

Don't know how to do it on Windows, I run Linux on everything and did it with SystemD

[tawny mountain]

is the Server Console operational and where can I find a list of Commands?

[foggy agate]

it is, but I don't think there is a real help page build.

[balmy glacier]

I think its just exit and quit atm

[foggy agate]

at least non of the typical work like ? or help or man

[meager summit]

Very experimental:D

[vocal jungle]

what did your scrip look like

[cinder wind]

I copied the one from the wiki

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

[vocal jungle]

oh ok

[snow belfry]

first server crash 🙂

[cinder wind]

Have to make sure you put the correct file paths

[meager summit]

No bugs

[snow belfry]

mostly no, was quite fine, i have one bug, that i am missing my "v" ui at some point

[bitter glade]

🤨

[snow belfry]

okay crash happens when placing pipe through floor

[outer ocean]

i have a problem so i can see the server but it says it seems to be offline how can i activate the server?

[snow belfry]

second time now

[snow belfry]

u know if we have any bug report channel other than you know what channel ? 😄

[bitter glade]

How do I activate the experimental mode in-game 🗿

[snow belfry]

wdym ? experimental you have to activate in steam

[trail lichen]

Let‘s see what hardware can run an experimental Satisfactory server. 😄

[bitter glade]

Understandable 🦫

[snow belfry]

right click properties on the game in steam

then betas, and then you can set it to experimental

[outer ocean]

how can i first activate the servers?

[bitter glade]

Confusing

[snow belfry]

just ignore the red stuff, it should say experimental for you

[slim spoke]

pinned messages has link to dedi help

[serene lava]

can you load a save from a dedicated server into the interactive map on satisfactory-calculato?

im trying to unlock all alt recipes

but its giving me loading errors

[oak steeple]

anyone of you guys got the same issues with server crashign when using pipe floor pieces ?

[sonic wind]

btw it doesn't work on a raspberry pi cause steam cmd doesn't exist on arm

[frank gale]

even if, i doubt you could run it nicely on a pi

fresh server, basic base, one player usage

[sonic wind]

lol

[frank gale]

memory could be bottleneck

[vocal jungle]

the alt seams to work the frist one didnt

[slim spoke]

did u set the webpage to update 5

[foggy agate]

why does your server use so much memory? Mine just used around 4 GB

[cinder wind]

I used the second one as well

[vocal jungle]

step 2 see if i can get docker to work asell bawhahah

[frank gale]

dunno, there is nothing running besides the sf server

[foggy agate]

look at my stats

[fallow peak]

is CSS releasing an official docker or is it going to be community driven?

[vocal jungle]

oh unraid has a a premade docker for it already

[frank gale]

oh, actually it uses only around 4gb... dont know why the graph is messed up

so yeah, "could" work on a pi if you had arm builds 😉

[foggy agate]

could to use emulation to x86

[balmy glacier]

If you use a LXC container uses around 4 GB ram

[frank gale]

it does for me aswell, the graph is just wrong. qemu based vm

[slim spoke]

pi4 has upto 8gb

[foggy agate]

the main problem is not RAM, its the processing speed inside the emulation.

[slim spoke]

it runs factorio apparently

[olive palm]

how can i enable the server manager on my game because I don't see it while starting up the game ?

[foggy agate]

you have to set your Steam Version to experimental

[slim spoke]

which versio of game early or exp

[olive palm]

ah okey

[vocal jungle]

oh wow for a basic server with quick setup Docker is Fast

up and running in less then 5 min

[foggy agate]

yeah docker is awesome. You don't need to configure anything really 😄

[solemn laurel]

is there a version on hub.docker.com

[vocal jungle]

yes

but its optimized for unraid

[foggy agate]

I could put the one from the wiki directly on docker hub

[desert yew]

Anyone know why this is loading for 10 minutes? AMP btw

[vocal jungle]

never used amp so i am no help

[flat forum]

iirc satisfactory doesn't have a "server is ready" message so that bar sticks around until you reload

[nocturne wadi]

any Server commands are available? any input not work 😐

[flat forum]

none yet

[foggy agate]

exit and quit are working 😄

[desert yew]

yea well, I cant connect to it either in the server manager....

[flat forum]

probably a port issue then

when you right click the instance from the amp manager then click edit port settings the "application port 3" is the one you need to connect to

[foggy agate]

maybe its trying to bind on the network inferface but it keeps failing. Take a look into your logs

[desert yew]

the instance is running on port 7778

but the server itself aint(?)

[nocturne wadi]

But the server runs good, the Train work smooth, i love the dedicated server. One exception, my big Savegame cannot load.. it's almost to big 😦 i had a dedicated server with 24vCPU and 288 GB RAM, and it's not running..

[flat forum]

yeah but that isn't the one you need to connect to

satisfactory uses 3 ports

right click that then click edit port settings

[flat forum]

do you have multiple satisfactory instances?

[desert yew]

nopeh

[flat forum]

then app port 1 should be 7777

that one can't be changed

[desert yew]

Oh 7777 is used by Factorio

[nocturne wadi]

may you need to open 15777 and 15000, both ports for the first configuration

[flat forum]

if a different amp thing is using it, that one will need to change yeah

the satisfactory dedicated server won't let you change them, which is probably why the server got stuck there

[timid slate]

Man.. G-Portal is taking their time migrating to the official dedi servers 😦

[random saffron]

Are the dedicated servers monthly or free?

[nocturne wadi]

free

[flat forum]

you can host yourself for free

[nocturne wadi]

without steam account

[random saffron]

Nice

[flat forum]

but hosting providers are cropping up that will charge you for hardware time 😉

[flat forum]

you will also want to forward the other two ports in that menu

then in satisfactory join using the application 3 port

[desert yew]

the 15777 and 15000?

[flat forum]

if you set them to that

I left mine at the defaults for amp

which is what is in the picture

and it works fine

[desert yew]

ayyyy

[flat forum]

Victory!

[desert yew]

I only changed 7778 to 7777

not the other ports

[flat forum]

oh nice, I've only set it up once on amp, so I might have been a bit off lol

[foggy agate]

if you send me a dm I can get you started for free for the next 2 month. 🙂

[desert yew]

@flat forum thanks for the helps <3

[white cosmos]

what have you all found for recommended specs? I built my container yesterday and gave it ~11GB of ram and it ate everything, think it'll just use whatever it can?

[snow belfry]

there a root server trial somewhere ? 😄 or what do you wanna show him ? 😄

[slim spoke]

hold on

RedLiz — Today at 11:10 AM
if you send me a dm I can get you started for free for the next 2 month.

[foggy agate]

I have referal links for digital ocean and hetzner cloud, where you get free money

[slim spoke]

that sounds like selling shit in here

[foggy agate]

thats not shit 😄 its legit stuff 😄

[snow belfry]

yeah better not post it here, i mean you told him to pm you. But even that might not be a good idea. I know you only trying to be nice. But you know the problem ofc.. i assume

[foggy agate]

yeah for sure I know the problem, but its so EA, no one should spend any money for trying stuff out. 🙂

[snow belfry]

if it were trial that would be something else, but this requires them to spend money

[primal oracle]

do dedicated servers allow for steam <-> epic cross play?

[white cosmos]

most clouds will give you a token amount per month too, just enough to run a small server.

[quick mist]

Yes, Epic clients can play on Steam servers

and when Epic servers exist, vice versa

[thin quest]

How do you join someone's dedicated server, theres no server browser....

[quick mist]

Experimental only

[snow belfry]

there is a server manager

[sullen sigil]

Now I want to try a satisfactory version of those 200 player factorio games.

[thin quest]

Yeah I'm in experimental.

[slim spoke]

u input ip in server manager

[snow belfry]

which does not "browse" all but you can add servers via ip

[quick mist]

Go to Server Manager -> Add server

there is no "server browser'

[thin quest]

Herm.

[slim spoke]

udpate exp then

u5 has a server manager

[thin quest]

So cant join a public server, you have to know someone running one

[frosty gale]

How can I download the dedicated server on steam if I own the game on epic games? I cannot find it back in the "tools"

[slim spoke]

pinned messages

[thin quest]

There isnt a dedicated in teh tools, you have to use steamcmd

[dusk frost]

steamcmd

[snow belfry]

it does not work at the moment with the library, you have to use steamcmd

[frosty gale]

Thank you

[quick mist]

Use StemCMD, the server is not showing in "Tools" yet. Known issue

[snow belfry]

i will try to get it started on SBC on debian today, or tomorrow just for fun

[sterile aurora]

whats the best place to report dedicated server bugs?

[snow belfry]

its a really really shitty SBC 😄 wonder how the performance will be

[hushed gate]

You can send Questions, Feedback, Suggestions, and Bug Reports at https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ - <3 @slim spoke

Oct 27, 2021, 3:22 PM

[foggy agate]

haha if it has enought ram otherwise it will constantly write to storage 😄

[snow belfry]

i mean its just for fun to try, ofc its not for serious play

imho for that root server all the way 😄 or gameserver once the first show up

nitrado just posted that they are currently working on integrating satisfactory

[sharp spruce]

Anyone getting client/server mismatch on
170209/170147 ?

[foggy agate]

nitrado and other game hosters, are way to expensive in my opinion 😄

what do you pay there 😄

[flint kraken]

Could you sir?

[frank gale]

stop spamming -.-

[restive estuary]

<@&387163995947270144>

[snow belfry]

@tacit palm spamming links

[flint kraken]

<@&387163995947270144>

[lofty latch]

@tacit palm << this user is the bot spamming

[full vector]

The bot really needs to start banning after several links in a short time

[restive estuary]

ikr

[lofty latch]

<@&387163995947270144> @tacit palm is spamming invite links

[verbal spoke]

got em already

ty

[lofty latch]

ta

[fringe fossil]

nice

[foggy agate]

yeah give me a few hours. 🙂 I will put it up there. 🙂

[slim spoke]

they get to see all the deleted stuff lol u cant hide

[flint kraken]

You're a legend and a scholar

[marsh hatch]

does the bot alert you if someone starts spamming links?

[flint kraken]

if I could ask. valheim has a docker container where you dont need to own the steam game. can the same be achieved with satisfactory?

[worthy niche]

Can anyone help me with setting up a dedicated server? I'm trying to use the command steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 +quit and it's saying it's not recognised

[snow belfry]

so what i wanted to write until the fu**** came in here^^ the only other soloution would be sharing root server with people... i mean runnning it from home is kinda shit unless your internet connection is really good, and you dont have a problem with running the server 24/7

[slim spoke]

dedis u dont have to own game on steam

[snow belfry]

electricity cost will be high 😄

[frank gale]

./steamcmd

[fringe fossil]

download steamcmd unzip it and cd into the install dir

[slim spoke]

pinned messages

[sharp spruce]

no reason why not the steamcmd is anon login so free use

[snow belfry]

u will help ya pming you

[verbal spoke]

depends on how my notifications are setup but sometimes yes

[flint kraken]

Thats what I thought. but the wiki was like. login with user and password, goit me confused a bit

[slim spoke]

have to use that long cmd in windows cmd window

not steamcmd window

[foggy agate]

you could also use dedicated RAM VMs on any cloud provider 😄 its good and cheap enought. I can get one for 10 bucks a month 😄

[sharp spruce]

Are you guys getting server version beyond ? Build: ++FactoryGame+main-CL-170147 ?

[flint kraken]

Also @foggy agate Sent me your wallet so I can get you a coffee

[slim spoke]

if u do in steamcmd each + is separate cmd line

[foggy agate]

yes, you don't even need to login via steam to have server up and running. 🙂

[frank gale]

read the guide 😉

[slim spoke]

link in pinned msgs

[timid slate]

13 euros a month on G-Portal. Keeping a server running myself would be way more expensive

[frank gale]

way more? i pay like 25 for a root server which could run multiple game servers

[foggy agate]

I don't think so 😄 13 Bucks seems way too expensive 😄

if you are on a really tight budget I could fit a server for under 5 $ a month 😄

[snow belfry]

so virtual server you mean ?

[foggy agate]

yeah but with dedicated memory or cpu (depends on the cloud provider)

[slim spoke]

again its like he is selling services

[snow belfry]

yeah ofc that is cheaper, you really have to insist on the guaranteed ram ofc 😄

i hate when you use shared ram

[torpid sand]

I should be able to run one of my gaming pcs as a server right?

[foggy agate]

yes. 🙂

[timid slate]

Which makes it not a dedicated server.....

[strange steppe]

what does the wiki mean by "inside the installation directory"? isn't that the program files directory?

[frank gale]

huh? its even better, you can distribute the power as needed

i run mail web matrix and a kubernetes cluster on it, besides the gameserver vm

[foggy agate]

but its not dedicated (in the literal sense :D)

[frank gale]

a root server? like bare metal, sure?!

[timid slate]

Thing is, what are you going to do when all game servers demand resources? Then you'd have a problem

[frank gale]

containerize or vm

[brisk cloak]

hail proxmox

[foggy agate]

if you use your own pc, its not dedicated 😄

[sharp spruce]

@strange steppe whereever you like to install it, not mandatory to use that

[tacit finch]

m1ndgames how many nodes?

[strange steppe]

what?

[frank gale]

depends on the definition of dedicated. dedicated to a user or a single process?

[fickle zinc]

love me some proxmox

[timid slate]

Yeah sure but then what, you still have to share resources, unless you scale up which will also bring more costs for you. And that costs increase will be steeper then the cost increase of a G-Portal or Nitrado 🤷

[frank gale]

kubernetes or proxmox? 1: 4 2: 2

[snow belfry]

@foggy agate got any european provider for vserver that you suggest ? PM me, we ofc dont want to advertise here 😄

[strange steppe]

I just want to run a server

[frank gale]

sorry, i mentioned you wrongly. that was @tacit finch

[tacit finch]

o_O quite a bit for personal use ^^

[sharp spruce]

@strange steppe whereever you installed using steamcmd, assuming you followed the wiki

[peak bloom]

So how do you get SatDS if you don't own it in Steam and don't want to hassle with SteamCMD?

[strange steppe]

I did using SteamCMD

[tacit finch]

but probably not the thickest on the market or?

[sharp spruce]

@peak bloom afaik you dont

[snow belfry]

you don't

[frank gale]

im an admin / devops engineer.. so i use it as a lab env and to play around with it

[frigid marsh]

You don’t

[tacit finch]

#dedicated-servers message

Probably the easiest way to install the satisfactory server

[peak bloom]

I thought so... I have issues with SteamCMD...

[snow belfry]

@peak bloom steamcmd is really easy i can help you out, just finished helping @worthy niche

pm me if you want

[frank gale]

nope,
8 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz with 32gb memory

[tacit finch]

I'm just a lowlie webdev 😄

wtf...

[peak bloom]

Oh, I can use it. I've used it many times before with Ark. My system just doesn't like it

[snow belfry]

gotcha, i mean its only to download the server

technically someone could upload it i guess

[sharp spruce]

eeerh and update it

[slim spoke]

adn there is easy instructions and cmds u just copy and paste

[peak bloom]

I have potato internet... Sometimes times out during updates/downloads and just sits there... Then restarts

[snow belfry]

to be fair the wiki commands suck 😄

[novel kernel]

anyone got a pterodactyl egg for satisfactory?

[snow belfry]

i had so many people telling me they pasted them in Steamcmd, which then ofc did not work^^ which confuses the fuck out of people

[tacit finch]

I still think installing docker is the easiest way.

1. you install it

2. you push a command to start the server

3. ???

4. Profit

[fallow shadow]

then edit the wiki

[slim spoke]

only thing i seen wrong was people using windows cmd window command line inside of steamcmd

[frank gale]

really? i think the instructions are fine, also the guide on how to symlink the steamcmd lib was included 👍

[slim spoke]

cause they probably missed it says put in windows cmd prompt

[snow belfry]

yeah i know

[peak bloom]

What is docker?

[frank gale]

something bad nobody should use, but managers thing its hot, so we need to

[sharp spruce]

container tech product @peak bloom

[snow belfry]

i do think the part for the force dir does not work without the "/" tho on windows, not sure i installed it as usual line by line, because thats easier for me

[inner ravine]

is it possible to send RCON commands to the server as defined in Source RCON Protocol?

[tacit finch]

Container virtualisation

[slim spoke]

i think the lines worked fine for all the windows people so far

[sharp spruce]

@frank gale is it that bad tho? Some dev play with it but I aint time to tool with it as a helpdesk/sysadmin

[frank gale]

it was more a joke... in enterprise you get into scalability issues with > 200 nodes

[peak bloom]

Ok. I'll wait

[vocal jungle]

i did the math on this these numbers are in CAD a few years ago , for a 8gb 4 core vps can be anywhere from $16 to $78 i took the avg min for me that worked out to about $32 a month for the specs i wanted 32x12 was 384 about 437 after taxes keep in mind these where all unmanaged and had a bandwidth limit from 2 to 4 TB where i could get a r710 for about 500 with extra ram and some drive i think a homelab is the more fun/learning path to hosting games for friends

[tacit finch]

never had something of that amount in a cluster...the main problem is probably the west east traffic or?

[sharp spruce]

@frank gale which seems like a joke as it sounds like meant to be scalable beyond that

[snow belfry]

well then i should not get pms or people should not message here that they cant get it to work, but they do

[foggy agate]

its a container serivice (free!!!) where you can put everything you need into and then run it. Just like a VM.

but if you don't know it, its prob best to avoid it.

[atomic pasture]

So, i installed dedicated server and me and my friend played for like 3-4 hours. Then i shutdown the server and on the next startup it crashes as soon as someon of us tries to join it. Any clues? Tried to update and reinstall the server without any luck.

[slim spoke]

didnt see anyone get told fix the cmd line for windows

[vocal jungle]

its not that bad start with some old hardware and unraid it will get you going and help you learn more for later

[frosty gale]

I finished setting up the firewall and even port forwarding, but why can't I?

[crystal spade]

Server works well on Debian 10.11 ;)

[snow belfry]

what ur specs ? running home ? Virtual server ? root ?

[sharp spruce]

...hold these feelings?

[snow belfry]

kinda interesting to find out 🙂 what people are running, just my curiosity

[frosty gale]

..?

[safe haven]

Why can you not what?

[reef gull]

Did you set both the operating system's firewall and your router's firewall?

[bleak plover]

Do someone know why i cant find the dedicated server app in steam, and yes i have select tool aswell?

[foggy agate]

its not up there right now

[fallow shadow]

debian 8.11 works too 😉

[foggy agate]

use steam cmd

[frosty gale]

i can join on localhost but ip doesnt work

[crystal spade]

We run a root server 16 cores 64gb ram 500gb nvme with several games on it

[frosty gale]

you need to port forward

[reef gull]

What operating system?

[frosty gale]

windows

[frosty gale]

already

[snow belfry]

yeah okay ofc that will run good 😄

[frosty gale]

thats weird

[foggy agate]

then your router don't look up the external IP right. thats common, ask a friend to try it out.

[sharp spruce]

try forwarding all both tcp/udp, worked

[reef gull]

Go to your Windows Firewall and allow the same ports inbound

[vocal jungle]

I got it running in Unraid aswell as Ubunto 18 and 20 with out issues

[bleak plover]

i have tried that. with that command line at the wikipage. But that wont work...

[crystal spade]

My hardes task was the security on it. I forgot the activation line in the iptables ;)

[frosty gale]

i allow inbound udp port of 15777

[safe haven]

You might not be able to join a server hosted in your local network via the public IP address from within that network. Not all routers support this feature.

[reef gull]

Need all 3

[sharp spruce]

I needed all 3 ports mentionned to have a friend connect

[frosty gale]

is anyone hosting a public dedicated server?

15777 and more?

[safe haven]

15000, 15777, 7777. (All UDP only)

[sharp spruce]

yup those more

[frosty gale]

um.. ok

i'll try

and port forward too?

[safe haven]

Indeed.

[reef gull]

Port forward on the router, which you have... now you need the Windows Firewall opened

[crystal spade]

Win or *nix ?

[reef gull]

Trust me... I have been burned by this many, many times

[slim spoke]

15777 is the important one to start connections

[snow belfry]

wont happen until there are more security meassures.. at least not long

[crystal spade]

Just open the ports to the FactoryServer app only

[frosty gale]

oh ok

[frank gale]

i hacked together a docker file without testing 😛

maybe someone can give it a try

[vocal jungle]

i am lol

[full cipher]

niiiiice

[snow belfry]

because there is no dissasemble protection, no locked storages or constructors etc. Which means griefers will fuck everything up of you are hosting open 😄

[snow belfry]

no griefers yet ? 😄

[frosty gale]

i got it

[crystal spade]

Why root .. damn..

[safe haven]

I modified a pufferpanel template to run my server on, but hopefully someone will give this a go.

[vocal jungle]

no but is just a test world with build cost turned off

[reef gull]

Never run anything not system as root, it is a HUGE vulnerability

[frosty gale]

yeah and because its so experimental i think you could crash a server pretty easy

[snow belfry]

yeah ofc that is usually fine, i mean it would be nice to see how many you can get to connect

[frank gale]

read the file, its needed to install ubuntu packages. the game runs as satisfactory user

[vocal jungle]

had 13 last night

[tacit finch]

try it yourself xD

[safe haven]

I'm fairly sure this is ROOT from within the container so worst case it can destroy the container.
But I'll still agree, might as well have it create a user for running the server to avoid maintenance.

[slim spoke]

ya was thinking why wouldnt u test ur own lol

[frank gale]

cause im running it in a vm and this chat keeps me from playing enough lol

[tacit finch]

😄

[crystal spade]

Destroy root login is always first thing i do on fresh install ;)

[slim spoke]

oh so we should stop chatting

[reef gull]

yeah, but should be /sbin/nologin

RUN useradd -ms /bin/bash satisfactory```

[slim spoke]

noone talk to mindgames til he tests

[snow belfry]

i never used docker, what are the benefits ? i mean why not run it on just debian ?

[slim spoke]

hahaahah

[tacit finch]

root is irrelevant within docker container

[sharp spruce]

I run the dedi on a Win10 pro, fit me 🥊

[frank gale]

🤷
people asked for a docker file

[crystal spade]

Easy to setup and copy

[hidden rock]

time to run dedicated on an Arduino Leonardo

[snow belfry]

ah okay 🙂 takes all the fun away !

setting it up is whats most fun

[crystal spade]

Hehe

[reef gull]

With a name like chroot, you're doing it on Winblows? 🤣

[safe haven]

You can have multiple environments using different package managers, different library versions, and even conflicting packages without interfering with one-another, on the same host OS.
And if they're all Linux, I believe they use the host kernel unlike a VM.

[sharp spruce]

hehe

[frosty gale]

ooh it works :D

[crystal spade]

I will give a try on Ubuntu 20.04 on a raspberry pi 4

[snow belfry]

wont work on arm

[slim spoke]

u have to use emulation of x86

[tacit finch]

that image is not going to work on a raspberry

[vocal jungle]

it fast for testing and security

[ashen apex]

Has anyone found a 3rd party server hosting company who's got Satisfactory going yet?

[sharp spruce]

Touche, it's just the tele tho

anyone successfully added a save to the dedicated yet?

[reef gull]

You wanted a fight, I throw knock outs... XD

[crystal spade]

Yes

[alpine egret]

@ashen apex nodecraft

[safe haven]

How to have a server for free:
When you upgrade your PC, keep the old parts.

[ashen apex]

Thanks

[alpine egret]

Can't vouch for quality

[sharp spruce]

You would mind giving pointers? Couldnt rename either the current file or the config file

[safe haven]

My experience is that basically every 'game' server host is complete crap.

[vocal jungle]

or when you upgrade for other and keep there old parts bawhahaha

[peak shadow]

hi. is there any hosting server one can rent for dedicated server?

[crystal spade]

I use same name for creating server as my local multigame and copy it over

[snow belfry]

i have a x86 SBC 1ghz 2gbram 😄 which i will try.. it most likely will run like shit, but just trying it for fun anyway

[crystal spade]

Thats it ;)

[slim spoke]

search the net for satisfactory dedicated server hosting

[vocal jungle]

thats the spirit

[safe haven]

Considering I was seeing ~35% utilisation on an i5 2500k on a brand new map, good luck! :p

[alpine egret]

Anyone got any info on how much cpu is actually needed for the server?

[full cipher]

I'm not sure we know the hardware requirements yet but ive found cheap hardware to rent on lowendbox

[snow belfry]

xD

[alpine egret]

Ah @safe haven perfect timing

[peak shadow]

thanks i'll check this out

[crystal spade]

Depends on settings and World our takes nearly nothing ( 8% all toghetheron ryzen 7

[frank gale]

hm. i can tell you it looks like it only uses one core. 20% util on a i7-4770 @T2 game state with one player

[fair brook]

Ok on a scale from 0 to 11 how well does dedicated servers work?

[full vector]

42

[slim spoke]

right now 1 core 1 thread but its being looked at by devs i guess

[crystal spade]

On our side 10 till now

[safe haven]

Oh, worth noting that's 35% as viewed from Linux. Which since my CPU would go up to 400% is normalised to.. -9-10%.

@alpine egret

[fair brook]

So its decent enough to give it a try?

[vocal jungle]

23 cpu on the r710 server in a VM 9% in the docker on the r7 3950 unraid box

[crystal spade]

On creation always takes more power

[tacit finch]

Yep reported that already with the single core bug

[snow belfry]

they work quite well not really any issues tbh on our end other than crash that would occur without dedi as well

[full cipher]

@peak shadow thats for if you want to manage the server yourself, give it a week or two and the managed server providers will have it for a much simpler experience

[vocal jungle]

mileage will very

[fair brook]

Ok cool, will start one tonight

[snow belfry]

yeah 100%

[tacit finch]

Did someone else report it too?

[safe haven]

So I expect 1-2 cores of a Xeon or 2nd gen+ cpu, 6GiB RAM and 20GB of storage would be plenty long into endgame.

[peak shadow]

yea i think i'll wait 😅 thanksies still

[fair brook]

I dont mind crashes and bugs but if its extremely bad I rather would have wait some more

[crystal spade]

Could be a bit less memory. Use 40gb with os and stuff

[vocal jungle]

just avoid mass dismantle and the dedi's are 80% stable in my experance

[snow belfry]

we played on ours over 4 hours without crash, then had a crash that occurs with pipe holes and would also happen on client only

just create restart script and you are golden

[queen bone]

some ppl are reporting server crashes when mass deleting do you have that ?

[frosty gale]

where is the save folder?

[slim spoke]

it was mentioned and one of devs said they know

[fair brook]

That sounds very nice thank for the headsup

[tacit finch]

docker restarts itself new 😄

[alpine egret]

I had 2 crashes in about 4 hours with 3 people on a new world.

Mostly looked like desync between client/server for one of the players.

[crystal spade]

Till now not. We will start big s
Tests this evening with 6 players on

[snow belfry]

but docker is boring !! 😄

[tacit finch]

Nah

[safe haven]

My physical server has a 250GB SSD and runs multiple servers including now Satisfactory. It's based on Ubuntu 20.04.
It's currently used.. 31GB of space total.
(Minecraft server, valheim server, Jellyfin server, satisfactory server, Unifi controller)

[snow belfry]

i usually want least amount of stuff on my linux distro

so i would only go barebones, and then steamcmd with few scripts

[crystal spade]

Nothing more to say

[vocal jungle]

dock is the least you can have lol

[bleak salmon]

hey i need some help with steamcmd. i installed the SatisfactoryDedicatedServer thing but only steamapps shows up. does anyone know a fix to this?

[queen bone]

then you should use docker

[snow belfry]

no its not 😄 you have docker^^ which is something more than just debian

[queen bone]

Allows you to test stuff with no consequences 😄

[safe haven]

Were it dedicated to just Satisfactory, including the OS I think 20-30GB would be fine.

[snow belfry]

i assume it uses resources as well

[vocal jungle]

no i have a 1% utilized server with docker do about 13 differt apps and game i can start stop and reinstall in less then 5 min 🙂

[queen bone]

with docker ? the overhead is very minimal if even there's one it's not a VM

[slim spoke]

@bleak salmon pinned messages has link to good instructions

[sharp spruce]

go inside, common

[snow belfry]

yeah but it also means that having just debian and steamcmd will run better.. i get it docker has some nice features... but who needs that ? if you only do one server anyway

[flint forge]

Hey yall, any other debian users have the server files to go to .local instead of usr/steam/~

[crystal spade]

I need 2 minutes to reinstall on Debian too. Without docker.

[bleak salmon]

wym?

[snow belfry]

if you do multiple instances okay sure

[tacit finch]

The Pros of Docker outweigh by far the Cons

[safe haven]

Save directory/folder linux
~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved

(I formatted that to be easy to search, hopefully!)

[queen bone]

Sure it's more heavy a solution but it's also better if you run some other stuff on the side if you use a server only for 1 instance then yeah I agree go baremetal

[alpine egret]

docker should have like 0% performance penalty. It's just using kernel features for different namespaces.

[tacit finch]

alone the fact....your server has gone offline and doesnt want to go online again?

Roll the shit out completly new within 5 minutes

Server Update? Update it within 5 minutes

and it continues ^^

[crystal spade]

Yep

[safe haven]

It's going to have a non-zero overhead but it's going to be teeny tiny yeah.

Like.. hard to measure against noise of the rest of the system.

[queen bone]

technically docker deamon but resources usage is very low

[minor hawk]

hey i need some help with steamcmd. i installed the SatisfactoryDedicatedServer thing but only steamapps shows up. does anyone know a fix to this?

[slim spoke]

pinned messages has link for instructions

[snow belfry]

yeah so i will take a look at it at some point, but for the most part i usually only run one server on my linux distro anyway. Like i said the setting up of a server for me is almost more fun than actually gaming.,. i usually install server.. set it up.. deinstall.. do it again with another server 😄

[bleak salmon]

not for troubleshooting

[slim spoke]

try following the instructions they work

[queen bone]

I have fun with docker 😄 but maybe i'm a weirdo 😂

[minor hawk]

bro

[tacit finch]

its true

[minor hawk]

its not

[crystal spade]

I got voicemail from my teamleader within the presentation video: when online? Xd

[snow belfry]

@bleak salmon pm me i will help you^^ you would be the third today 😄

[bleak salmon]

kk

[slim spoke]

what he wants people to tell him what will be the instructions basically

so im showing him here is how most got theirs running

[safe haven]

Honestly I threw the instructions away once I had the port numbers and app id.

[slim spoke]

ya well thats fine if u know what to do

[still bolt]

my server is always crashing when i try to load an Existing U5 savefile i can only create a new server game. Have somebody an fix for this ?

[frosty gale]

Are there any open dedicated servers anyone can join?

[tacit finch]

probably

😄

[crystal spade]

Maybe

[spiral raptor]

Hey, there's a way to download dedicated server on Steam when we own the game on Epic ? I don't see it in the tools thing

[tacit finch]

just download it as anonymous

You dont need to login for a headless server

[crystal spade]

Actually the server runs with anonymous on steamcmd

[spiral raptor]

Ok so I DL it though steamcmd ?

[crystal spade]

Aye

[tacit finch]

yes

[spiral raptor]

Ok thanks 👌

[crystal spade]

See pinned ;) the documentation works

[spiral raptor]

Ok 🙂

[full cipher]

just be aware they are saying that the server is not showing up for everyone when it should. they are looking into it

[spiral raptor]

Yep I saw that

[slim spoke]

its fine thru steamcmd .. its not in library for anyone

[nova rose]

yes, it will be visible under tools Soon™

[tidal vale]

I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, but what's so special about dedicated servers?

[snow belfry]

that you can leave it running and turn off your pc while your friends still play

[slim spoke]

leave running for mp

[haughty cloak]

24/7 saves

[snow belfry]

basically the host does not have to have his pc left running

[sharp spruce]

performance wise I have like 144 fps where I had 20

[slim spoke]

offload work to diff computer

[tacit finch]

have 10 people play at one server without the host PC Internet connection being a monster itself

Weaker PC being able to play and the owner of said PC still being hoster

[tidal vale]

Oh ok, that sounds good

[snow belfry]

just imagine the amount of resources you will have !! on dedi after few weeks 😄

[tacit finch]

server pauses on default with no players

[sharp spruce]

which is fair

[woeful sky]

Not for me - as I've tried for like 6 hours now and still get errors on the path of installing the cmd.

[full cipher]

I think a lot of people assumed it would keep running even when no one was connected

[slim spoke]

the long cmd line ... run it in windows cmd

[pastel grail]

Do you know how i can change that ?

[peak kestrel]

Is there way to use dedicated servers when game bought in EGS?

[slim spoke]

dont run steamcmd then use the long line

[tacit finch]

client intern there are settings

[slim spoke]

u ahve to do the commands at teh + separate if u do inside the steamcmd

[woeful sky]

I'm running it on a Linux-Arch distro, though...

[dusty ivy]

Yes, you can connect to the Steam downloaded server with an Epic game

[pastel grail]

ah yeah found it

[woeful sky]

Or... well... planning to run it there.

[peak kestrel]

how to do that?

[slim spoke]

well maybe u cant run it on that distro. good luck

[dusty ivy]

Just install it. I had the same question and tried it, and mine is working. Nothing special beyond the install (as far as I know, but only playing on my local network).

[slim spoke]

but long line just dont run steamcmd then use it

u put in window so it calls and passes the cmds to it

[woeful sky]

The connection of the client works directly through the connection - not over any sort of connection-client on Steam's or Epic's side.

[peak kestrel]

well the thing is that I can't find Satisfactory Dedicated Server in instruments list, I see other, but not Satis.

[woeful sky]

Though - I do hope that changes sooner rather than later for security purposes.

[slim spoke]

servers arent in library of steam

[bleak flare]

So - Information available, for a noob now Just need another YT Video for step-by-step guide XD

[peak kestrel]

hm, where then they are?

[slim spoke]

pinned messages has link for how to install

[dusty ivy]

Not available in tools, install it through SteamCMD.. to answer your next question, see the pinned link to the wiki for how 😄

[worldly iris]

Takes too much effort

[woeful sky]

Well... they are... they're just not publicly visible.
I personally can't get the cmd to work (and gave up) - so I'm hoping I can get something to work via Valve's console.

[peak kestrel]

I saw that, but it said that it was only for steam, so I get confused

[slim spoke]

could be the distro like i said

[nova rose]

then Patience is a virtue, while they try and figure out why it is not showing under tools yet

[woeful sky]

It is currently only available on Steam.
However, the ways through which it works are... different.

[slim spoke]

others had to change to run dedis

[woeful sky]

I assume it's more likely a drive-issue... but I agree.
I must've overread it earlier.

[worldly iris]

Ignore the stupid steam tools BS and follow the wiki

[queen bone]

For people looking for a docker setup https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server I have tested this so far it's working great

[worldly iris]

People cant even figure out how to copy/paste a line of text. docker is NEVER going to work for them
