dedicated-servers

[indigo cape]

Anyone else have your steam version stay on after you "quit" so you have to terminate steam to get it to shut down?

[river wedge]

so was just online playing with friends did a update now all of a sudden my external ip fails to query correctly local internal Ip shows up and works external registers there is a live game and ping but won't allow client to connect

[dense kelp]

I setup batch files and task kill and update/restart server

[indigo cape]

Yeah I was talking about client version the server updated and ready

[dense kelp]

Make sure your port forwarding remained the same, with ports that need to be opened.

[river wedge]

ya haven't touch any ports and my ip is dmz anyways. if it wasn't able to query i wouldn't see game ongoing or ping tho i would think

[mellow thicket]

using internal ip or external?

[faint wagon]

anyone elses server crash when they try to delete a conveyor pole? lol

[indigo cape]

oh good this should fix the liquid trains not moving, but nothing in the notes about bombs not being able to be thrown :/

[river wedge]

external only internal i can connect and it works fine

[mellow thicket]

client and server the same machine?

[river wedge]

only thing that changes was the patch to client and server

[slim spoke]

make sure u forwarded the udp ports on teh host ip

u need 15777 to start communications

[faint wagon]

"Good bye."

[river wedge]

they are

[dense kelp]

100% that is going to be port forwarding from outside

[river wedge]

100% its not was just working fine with external people playing then patch hit and now its not

[slim spoke]

beacon port ?

[strange sierra]

have you guys got your server updated to version 170429?

[rocky sentinel]

Try changing -GamePort to -Port

[dense kelp]

grab a port check tool and run it agaist your external ip and see if its open

or filterd

[river wedge]

@rocky sentinel ya i've tried changing them to other ports its always the same

[mellow thicket]

Yes

[rocky sentinel]

No the actual command line switch

[slim spoke]

right now the 7777 port just finds 1 and uses it

if cant it goes to next and reserves it

[strange sierra]

cheers, I'll try again 🙂

[vagrant turtle]

if I'm reading that right your port 15000 is "not" listening

[indigo cape]

yeah working I just applied the new patch on server and client and they are both working

[mellow thicket]

Again, I ran a force install, not an update

steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +force_install_dir c:\steamcmd\Satisfactory_Dedicated_Server +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

[indigo cape]

Yeah I always run the same as deemer

[dense kelp]

the app update/validate ensures your up to todate

like running a verify in steam

[mellow thicket]

It should, but its not working

[indigo cape]

and am having no issues and I can see the machine lights now 🙂

[dense kelp]

whats it not doing?

[mellow thicket]

The update script isn't triggering an update for many. I was only able to do a force install to get it to grab the updated files

[dense kelp]

ahh

I always do the force install with validate, I have had that issue on other Steam dedicated servers

[indigo cape]

yes same

[mellow thicket]

My guess is they are constantly updating the core repository, but not the update repository simultaneously

[slim spoke]

lol imagine that .. launcher that screws up patching and installing cant properly update the server lol

[indigo cape]

the force with validate makes sure you have the up to date version

[dense kelp]

meh, little more complicated than that, but yea

[fluid turret]

I am going to attempt putting dedi on raspi with only 4gb of ram wish me luck

[dense kelp]

repository of update, most likely does not contain the full list of update, so hence a force install with validate would most of the time fix that

ha

[dense kelp]

good luck, I was maxing out 8gb of ram on a windows box

[fluid turret]

I successfully ran it on a laptop with only 4gb of DDR3-1066 ram

so DDR4-3200 on a RasPi would work better

I can verify CPU usage is literally nothing

Ran 40% usage on Intel I5 520M

so long as there is no Vehicles doing paths lol

[dense kelp]

agreed

CPU is nothing

I got a UCS C Series Chassis with 96gb of ram I could run a few servers on lol

[sly estuary]

Getting this error when trying to run remote, confirmed the example docker config in the wiki works on my local dev box, but when deployed to my leased server I am unable to connect. My home internet is behind CGNAT, if that makes a difference.

[indigo cape]

Same the dedicated is using almost no cpu

[sly estuary]

Deploying with AMP also results in the same error

[mellow thicket]

your public leased server has a 192.99 public IP?

[indigo cape]

used 30% on startup and maintains about 6% on a 2.8ghz server on a dual xeon box pretty old

[sly estuary]

Afirm, OVH server

[indigo cape]

x5560

[sly estuary]

runs factorio and minecraft just fine, along with some other docker apps

[mellow thicket]

cool

[indigo cape]

memory says 7% but that server has 196gb so can't really judge by that

[crude tapir]

Anyone else hosting offsite / renting? I'm renting one and so far smoothish.

[foggy agate]

for me too 🙂

as long as you choose a datacenter not that far and have ram dedication it should be fine 🙂

[indigo cape]

hosting from my personal win 2012 r2 and have had no issues

[river wedge]

so this is what i'm seeing for errors on my server now

[dense kelp]

Just Curious, I want to rent, where are yah renting from?

i wish I could figure out the steam API

[indigo cape]

other than it crashing when I mass desconstruct buildings lol but don't think that's because of the server

[foggy agate]

as we discussed today, we don't want to promote anything in here.

[crude tapir]

Oh crap, sorry 😦

[dense kelp]

ahh, didnt know that, sorry

[indigo cape]

yeah you want to find one near you I usually get them from a company in the closest major city by me

[foggy agate]

as least I got some pretty harsh dms about that 😄

[crude tapir]

If you'd like to know who we host with, feel free to DM

[vague grail]

Hmm. What is the correct way to update the game (in linux) I've tried running an update on the server through steamcmd and it says the game is already up to date, but the client reports version mismatch.

[crude tapir]

People soft

[indigo cape]

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 +quit

[crude tapir]

Anyways, good luck all! Hope to see some amazing co-op builds!

[indigo cape]

if you run it like that with the force and the validate the updates should always work

[foggy agate]

right now you should re download the server with this command, so delete the original version (might wanna keep a back up if you have costum safefile!) and reinstall it

[vague grail]

odd. I tried that and it still reported version mismatch. I'll just spin up a new docker container and test it

[foggy agate]

the "force-install-dir" is just used to give a path where to install it, its not forcing the reinstall!

[vagrant turtle]

ok, I have a auto restart added by doing it the old school way using crontab and a bash script to detect if it is running, and if not, then run it. hehe

[indigo cape]

yes but that helps "overwrite" files that may or may not want to

[obsidian lantern]

Is there an way to give a IP? I use NAT and the Server can't detect it

[vagrant turtle]

when I did an "Add server" I did by Ip address directly

[indigo cape]

the server ip is your outside IP you have to forward the port back to the "host"

[obsidian lantern]

its correct forwared to the container, but it doesn't show up

[indigo cape]

you can google.. what's my ip

hmm

[vagrant turtle]

ipchicken . com is another good one that is quick and easy to check your external IP

[indigo cape]

I just use google because I don't have to open any pages it's right there in the search engine

[obsidian lantern]

i know my ip 😄 it's my dedicated server, where running a few servers in a local NAT. Only Satisfactory can'T handle it

[indigo cape]

too many untrustworthy sites these days

[indigo cape]

then as long as the port is open for the correct server ip from the nat it should

[obsidian lantern]

Ports are open and correct forwared 😄

[vagrant turtle]

should be 15777 not 15770

[meager summit]

the ports are all UDP only btw

[dense kelp]

@vagrant turtle agreed.

[obsidian lantern]

Startet with 15770 and 7770

[dense kelp]

Unless you redirected?

[vagrant turtle]

and you are also missing 15000

[faint wagon]

i thought the server didn't support redirects yet

or at least jace said so in the video

[dense kelp]

only on the Server query Port

[slim spoke]

15777 is the important port

[dense kelp]

15000 and 7777 cannot be changed

[vagrant turtle]

Not directly yet.

[indigo cape]

yeah umm 15777 is the query port

[obsidian lantern]

you dont have to use the default ports, we can override them

and it workds pretty well, if i use it on baremetal direct. Only if i use NAT it don't

[austere glacier]

If you connecting to a server that is on your LAN, use the internal IP to connect.

[vagrant turtle]

yeah, I see that for 15777, it can be moved around.. but 15000 is the major important one that you are missing from the NAT routing

[dense kelp]

As stated in the table at the beginning do not use different ports for 15000 and 7777, so it is mandatory that those are specified in the command line as in the example. The other port (15777) can be declared as wanted.

[obsidian lantern]

Ah good point, miss that

[dense kelp]

@obsidian lantern you on linux?

or Docker Container?

[indigo cape]

if that port is already being used by another server though you can always NAT 15770 to 15000 the server would never know the difference

[solid ice]

My server says it’s not compatible with my game version? But I just updated both.

[indigo cape]

did you use steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 +quit

[solid ice]

Si

[indigo cape]

try with validate also then

goes before +quit

[solid ice]

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 +validate +quit

[indigo cape]

yes that

[solid ice]

Oke

[indigo cape]

and make sure you update your client too, if you are using steam the damn game keeps locking to "playing" and won't update until you kill steam and reopen

[obsidian lantern]

Linuc Containers

[vagrant turtle]

not sure who stated it, but they said their game crashed when removing a conveyor stand... I just tried it on mine, and it did not crash.

[indigo cape]

mine crashed when I removed 6 assemblers at 1 time using the mass decon

[foggy agate]

for me its fixed now. Just close the web browser helps :)

[vagrant turtle]

me personally, don't use the mass decon

[solid ice]

Yeah my game is updated already.

[sly estuary]

Ok, so I've deployed using docker and AMP on my remote server, and have had another player test connection, both of us are getting the same timeout error, so its something on my server. I've taken the UFW offline and there is no NAT.

[solid ice]

Says “command not found: validate”

[foggy agate]

delete the install dir and redownload.

[indigo cape]

don't think it has a +

think it's just app_update blah validate +quit

[sly estuary]

interestingly, I do not see any of the three ports open using sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN

[solid ice]

Wilco

[slim spoke]

did u start teh game and try using mp so it sends udp ping to open port

[flat forum]

Finally solved it, hopefully this helps you too. The default command line args used -GamePort instead of -Port. After changing this it worked. Not sure why this was a problem as it worked before the update, but whatever

[vagrant turtle]

how about: netatat -nap | grep 15000 ... Do check with the other two ports too.. if those show nothing, then it's not running

[flint forge]

Anyone elses signs revert after updating the game and server?

[foggy agate]

there is no udp ping; ping is part icmp ^^

[indigo cape]

Didn't make it to signs yet poetgetic so no help here :/

[slim spoke]

thats from snutts explanation of their ports

[indigo cape]

@solid ice So did it start downloading with validate?

[rose hornet]

Server working more or less fine for me. Only thing giving me some sort of grief is the conveyor belts looking empty occasionally (items just visibly disappear). Functionally, it all works good. The are occasional warnings and errors in the logs around execution time issues. Guessing maybe I don't have enough horsepower on my server machine...

[solid ice]

No it wouldn’t accept validate command. I’m deleting the dir right now and trying a reinstall

[indigo cape]

server working for me too @rose hornet but I'm not using linux I use windows server 2012 r2

[vagrant turtle]

That's more client side, not server side.. unless you are running the server on the same machine

[rose hornet]

Windows 10 Home is my server in this case. Debating putting Linux on it, though.

[obsidian lantern]

15000 did the trick. MANY THANKS 🙂

[indigo cape]

and the disappearing and stuff that's been a client issue for a long time, just more noticable when using dedicated and everyone playing as a client 🙂

[dense kelp]

yay progress it seems lol

[rose hornet]

Doing max visual settings at 4K on my machine. 3070 RTX, 64 GB RAM, NVM SSD, Ryzen 5600x, Windows 11, DX12

[indigo cape]

Yeah mines a real server has like no graphics (has a card but it's not a gaming card by any means) because I use it to host dedicated which only uses the mem and processors not really much gpu need

[vagrant turtle]

What @indigo cape said. heheh 🙂

[indigo cape]

and as old as it is, it's handling this like a champ it struggled on ark with more than 7 players

[rose hornet]

I think I remember one of the community managers saying that DLSS wouldn't increase performance due to the game being mostly CPU bound.

[vagrant turtle]

mine is a real server too.. Dual Quad Xeons, 48Gb ram, 1U rack, dual PSU .. I could put it in a DC, but that one came out of a DC because it got upgraded LOL

Proxmox host, with probably 10 VMs running on it.. including all my Valheim servers, ARK servers, etc.. hehe

[indigo cape]

hehe yeah I bought mine from a place that decomm theirs came with a crap ton of ram and 2 xeon 5560's

I was hosting mulitple ark instances, had a cluster setup with all the maps .. that was loads of fun

[vagrant turtle]

I was too, but that's not for this channel. 🙂

[floral charm]

I was out for several hours, are we stable enough for me to try updating? or are we still flipping between versions rapidly?

[indigo cape]

I'll be glad when the modders update though I miss the auto research and item despensers so much

[slim spoke]

its middle of night for devs

[floral charm]

awesome

[raw swan]

@floral charm be careful

[rose hornet]

Well, if the bug is known, then I will get back to my new game zooping.

[floral charm]

Are they based somewhere in europe?

[vagrant turtle]

probably OK for now.. just make sure you do an install over the old, instead of trying to do the update command.. that's borked

[slim spoke]

yes

[floral charm]

neat

[indigo cape]

aren't the in sweden? or something

they*

[floral charm]

as in don't use the steamcmd update command?

[reef ivy]

possibly dumb question but if you dont have a server and want to play multi is there any benefit to running a server on your pc, vice just playing existing multi ?

[dense kelp]

same here haha UCS C series

[floral charm]

maybe better performance, depending on your machine specs

[indigo cape]

if they are both running on your machine not really if you have some crap machine in the corner to run the dedicated then yes

[vagrant turtle]

correct. Use the full install command.

[reef ivy]

i7-9700k, 32ram, 1tb m2

[dense kelp]

do a full validate yea?

[floral charm]

Having one dedicated core for server stuff, and another for client stuff should see some improvement, right? just at the cost of eating up almost twice the ram and twice the cpu

[dense kelp]

that helped a few people ealier

[indigo cape]

infact if you are going to run it on same machine I'd just host it direct that way you don't have to suffer the client bugs that have been in the game since update 1

[floral charm]

Thanks for the clarification!

[deep zodiac]

anyone have a fix for not being able to authenticate as admin?

[reef ivy]

i was thinking it would be new code .. so maybe better than the multiplayer code..

[indigo cape]

oh it's not

[reef ivy]

oh 🙂

[slim spoke]

make sure u dont have space after characters

[reef ivy]

they kitbash it into working?

[indigo cape]

it's the same as you hosting only you don't have the added benefit of not being a clinet

client*

[floral charm]

Yeah, it's gonna be basically the same thing, but headless. No reason to reinvent the wheel there

[reef ivy]

so still rubberbanding when driving ?

[indigo cape]

I haven't had that issue

[reef ivy]

like ever ?

[indigo cape]

So far I haven't

but I'm not up to fast vehicles yet

only have the tractor

[reef ivy]

havnt played multi in a year .. but driving with my friend was hard on the head

[indigo cape]

yeah I remember hosting last year and the 2 playing with me couldn't drive at all the car would just rubberband and sometimes fly off into space

[reef ivy]

im excited to test anyhow .. hoping the server setup process doesnt turn into work .. i fix pcs for the living - hate messing with them at home

[covert yew]

My friend is getting a timeout error and the server side is getting this anyone know why?

[indigo cape]

But I also don't have a big factory built yet I started fresh and am only at the start of the tier 5/6 unlock

[reef ivy]

thanks for the info .. im sure ill be back when i try and fgure this out 🙂

[solid ice]

Okay I’m stupid and don’t fully understand Debian. How tf do I backup my world save? /.steam isn’t searchable directory

[rose hornet]

Are they using the same steam account, orangep9?

[velvet abyss]

i found the setup to be pretty easy, even for a layman

[rose hornet]

Says they aren't using a unique ID.

[covert yew]

not steam and not using the same account

[fluid turret]

Especially with LinuxGSM

[indigo cape]

@velvet abyss yeah I did too just did the cmd installed and started it .. then loaded my game went in setup password and done

[velvet abyss]

i did mine with windows, 0 linux exp

[indigo cape]

same win serv 2012

[fluid turret]

LinuxGSM is basically 2 commands and its running

[indigo cape]

I don't wanna re invent the wheel because of some microsoft hate thing lol I just use what is there

[fluid turret]

Its only really needed if you have limited resources

I got dedi server running on a very very old laptop

only cause lack of OS overhead

[indigo cape]

that makes since because of the slim use of linux

I never wanted to learn it, every company I worked for use either windows server for VM's or vmware and then win servers on all the instances so never bothered

[fluid turret]

I get it, I am sorta in the middle, I have learned them both equally at the same time but for different purposes

[indigo cape]

current company just removed a bunch of servers I may get one and put win server on it 🙂

it's running some cisco OS phone system crap

which I think is linux based

[fluid turret]

The biggest kicker with these dedi servers is steamcmd is trash and requires all 9gig be downloaded for each update

[indigo cape]

heh that's nothing ark was 100gb every dang time

at least this one is small

[velvet abyss]

oh does it, i didn't notice

[indigo cape]

lol yeah with a 400mb/s connection I didn't either

felt pretty instant to me

[nova rose]

if it did, then my internet was holding up a LOT better than normal today

[dense kelp]

ha, 1gb up and down here, love my fiber

[reef ivy]

steam tool not available as of right now ?

[slim spoke]

pinned messages has install method

they have to fix the library still

[frosty gale]

Where do i even find the Dedi Software

[indigo cape]

@dense kelp Man I wish I can get the 1g down but the up is still only like 100 :/

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 +quit

[slim spoke]

@frosty gale look above ur post

[fluid turret]

remember to assign an install directory cause when you go to update the tool it will reinstall it into a different folder if no install path is included

didn't mean to ping in that reply

[indigo cape]

🙂

[vagrant turtle]

One thing I don't like, is their wording when the server is starting back up, and loading an older world.. 'Server is preparing a new game' ... when I think it should read more like 'Server is reloading a previous game' .. or something like that ..

[nova rose]

or just server is loading world, or something like that of course

[vagrant turtle]

yeah

[nova rose]

once they got round to fix most of the bugs, they'll probably make a joke there 😄

[indigo cape]

lol yeah loading world or starting world I agree lol I did the update earlier and it said that and I was like oh crap did I lose my game... and it was just starting it

[vagrant turtle]

now the rebar gun bug is a show stopper for me, when I explore .. at least I'm not at the point of exploring, but building more machines for elevator send #3

[vagrant turtle]

that was my first reaction too! hahh

[indigo cape]

I'm right there with you blak

I do love that it shows up on the top right now for the elevator thing though

[velvet abyss]

what bug is there with the rebar gun?

[solid ice]

Works now after deleting and reinstalling.

[indigo cape]

I never used it

[vagrant turtle]

You use it, and the server crashes

[indigo cape]

didn't like the rebar gun from the start so never even crafted one after the first game

[velvet abyss]

annoying bug i got was i lost a hard drive recipe somehow

oh that's a minor bug then

good ot know

[indigo cape]

LOL nice bug

[vagrant turtle]

I just used the rebar gun on purpose to test my auto restart script. hehe

[indigo cape]

lol

[vagrant turtle]

found out I had a bug LOL

[indigo cape]

Guess that's one way to make it work

[vagrant turtle]

it restarts now though LOL

[indigo cape]

They made it where you can't run crap over anymore 😦

[vagrant turtle]

cron job check to see if the process is running, if so, exit.. otherwise start it up

[indigo cape]

I hit a spider earlier while recording my drive path and it sent me flying

[vagrant turtle]

eeps!

[indigo cape]

There went most of my fun, I used to aim at the big cows just to watch them topple

[vagrant turtle]

I'm sure you will just bounce off a million miles now

[indigo cape]

oh and now my engineer throws like a nerfd

nerd*

the bombs keep dropping right at my feet no matter how long I hold it

[vagrant turtle]

eww... yeah, I blew up a rock today too, and it was at my feet

[indigo cape]

oh hey it worked

I held it really long that time

[fluid turret]

the model is buggy but it will still explode where its soppose to be

[vagrant turtle]

ooh!

[indigo cape]

no bar anymore for "power" but it did throw it

nah it was going to my feet and blowing up there wasn't getting where I was aiming but I just held it for like 15sec and it threw it

no explode graphic anymore either but as long as the crap goes boom I don't care 🙂

[vagrant turtle]

rofl ok.. I'm going to have to go back and check... that rock I blew up earlier, is back ..

[noble shuttle]

Anyone else getting the message server and client not compatible

[indigo cape]

yeah they seem to all come back

only everyone that comes in here because they are having issues 🙂

[dim mesa]

Is the dedicated server tool back up on steam? It wasn't showing beforehand

[noble shuttle]

Lol good it ain't just me

[vagrant turtle]

Yes, please do the "install" command, not the "update" command.. there is an issue with the update command currently

[fluid turret]

you have to use steamcmd for now

[dim mesa]

ok

[dim mesa]

Is there instructions for that on the wiki?

[fluid turret]

yes

If you are going to run it on linux use LinuxGSM

[dim mesa]

Ok thanks

[vagrant turtle]

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

[indigo cape]

I just hope the modders get fixed soon I miss the QOL stuff 🙂

[vagrant turtle]

at least the yellow glow of the old slug that I picked up behind that rock is gone now. hahah.. and the chainsaw that got dropped, because I couldn't get out (didn't have explosives on me) and did a "respawn". heheh when I went back, the glow was there, a few other things on the ground

[indigo cape]

love the soft clearence thing though lol, I built over the top of my hub and didn't realize it until the ship came back right on top of me lol

oh hey yeah they fixed the glow thing that's great

[vagrant turtle]

actually no it stayed, until the server got restarted a few times. heheehe

and updated

[timid plank]

what is the lastest version of dedicated server because ...

[lime elm]

my server keep crashing or my game losses connection when I am mass deconsructing stuff...

Just make sure your server is updated and the game as there was an update today

[indigo cape]

@timid plank Use the steamcmd install instead of update

[frosty gale]

Whats the Default PW?

[lime elm]

there is no default pw

you have to set one

[timid plank]

ik

[vagrant turtle]

others have reported it too, maybe too many things at once?

[lime elm]

i thought that too but im only doing like 4 things at once 😦

[frosty gale]

Whats the TODO List?

On the far right

[lime elm]

bug

mine went away after some time

[river wedge]

so fixed my external not connecting wasn't port being opened or closed was it used 7779 for the port and i only had 7777 open would say if external people have connection issues where it shows game ongoing gives ping but can't connect open the 7777-7779 range

[frosty gale]

Ah okie

[indigo cape]

ah must have other stuff running using the 7777 and 7778 already

[timid plank]

but i didn't refound the good command to update

[frosty gale]

How do i change the Port?

[fluid turret]

I dont think you can change the ports right now but there is a parameter if you want to try

[slim spoke]

7777 port it autos thru to find port

[lime elm]

dismantle one thing at a time... crash

[proud dagger]

what type of query is the server using?

[lime elm]

and then it is fine for a bit, then crash again 😦

[indigo cape]

after the app_update xxxx validate

[proud dagger]

you can

[burnt blaze]

Now you're just playing on hard mode. No takesie-backsies

[odd swan]

R people finding groups of friends to play with already in dedicated servers or people waiting for the servers to be stable

[lime elm]

lol

[slim spoke]

15777 u can

[proud dagger]

i have it up and running in my auto installers with all ports changed

[fluid turret]

Oh ok so it must have been fixed

[proud dagger]

only way i was able to get the autoinstaller working 100% of the time after deploy

[neat pasture]

seems pretty stable for me so far, but only myself and another friend playing

[slim spoke]

u can go back thru what bogdan has said ..he talked about what u can change

[crude tapir]

Myself and my 3 friends have been playing non stop with only a couple issues

[neat pasture]

shrubs can't be removed, anyone else have that problem?

[slim spoke]

yes its known they have to add teh new stuff to teh saw

[proud dagger]

the only thing i cant figure out is what type of query the server is using, making it difficult for me to make variable options for customers

[river wedge]

should note my server is still using 7777 but found running ss -lu that 7778 and 7779 were coming up

[vagrant turtle]

dismantling too fast?

[slim spoke]

7777 is first it tries

then it goes up 1 til it gets a port

[indigo cape]

yeah pretty sure the 7777 is the starting and then it steps up per connection

I had to open those when hosting ark because every person got the next port in line

[river wedge]

@indigo cape ya fairly sure the same here probably going to open a bigger range later

[odd swan]

r servers run like minecraft servers with just a command prompt? or do u need a seperate rig to run one?

[proud dagger]

it should use the default to establish the connection then move to a random port where it doesnt matter if firewall is open or not, once established you have free reign to talk on unopened ports

[indigo cape]

it runs like all dedicated servers

in the background

[odd swan]

so u can play at the same time

[alpine dawn]

finally home and booted my server to try and install the dedicated server and the / partition is full FML

[indigo cape]

Haven't tried it but yeah should be able, I have it running on a separate machine because seems silly to host it and then connect

[slim spoke]

/throwhdd

me and my comps have a touchy relationship

[indigo cape]

especially as many client side only bugs as there are

[odd swan]

is there a minimum spec for a hosting pc?

[slim spoke]

nothing stated

[alpine dawn]

I may have shot myself in the foot by using an 8GB thumbdrive as a root device

[fluid turret]

Its silly and yet its better than the P2P multiplayer in my experience

[slim spoke]

but 4gb ram and decent cpu is where i would call bottom line

[fluid turret]

4gb absolute minimum for ram, CPU can almost be anything unless you running mega bases with vehicles 24/7

[rose hornet]

Add a new thumb drive and mount it to /dedicatedserver and move on.

[indigo cape]

yeah I'd say depends on the server type linux obviously requires less

[alpine dawn]

I have plenty of storage

[knotty timber]

What's interesting is that, the normal multiplayer also uses the 7777+ range and there's a note in "multiplayer-troubleshoot" channel from 2019 that says "6. consider open/forwarding ports 7777-7827 UDP (firewall and on router)" , so I've just opened those to my server and it seems to have helped

[alpine dawn]

just / is full

[mellow thicket]

For those using AMP. Where does it store the SaveGames folder?

[alpine dawn]

/dev/sda1 13T 11T 2.5T 81%

lots of room

XD

[fluid turret]

contact PhonicUK I personally dont know anyone using AMP

[indigo cape]

heh starting to wonder if overclocking is worth it when it increases the power by way more than the output

not like you don't have room to build..."UP"

[timid plank]

someone can give me the command for the last update on steamCMD

[fluid turret]

overclocking what the memory?

[fluid turret]

Elaborate?

[timid plank]

yes

[slim spoke]

use install not update in cmd

[alpine dawn]

I dont even know what ram is in this old machine

some slow ass ECC RAM

most likely wont matter

[indigo cape]

@fluid turret sorry the machines in game

[fluid turret]

oh kay

[indigo cape]

the power goes 3 or even 4x and the output goes up by 1.5x

[fluid turret]

2 worlds collide both using overclocking

server world and satisfactory

[alpine dawn]

lmao

[indigo cape]

lol sorry I started playing and saw I had 7 of the overclock things and was like should I even bother just makes power management too hard this early

[fluid turret]

Next step is running dedi on RasPi

[indigo cape]

honestly the dedicated doesn't use much at all I'd like to know the min spec but it's on an old server with really old xeons like gen 2 or something lol and works just fine

[fluid turret]

thats not my worry

the Pi only has 4 gb ram

[indigo cape]

game is only using about 4 for ded

[alpine dawn]

wrong CPU ARCH

needs to be X86

Pi will never work

[slim spoke]

we thought ahead ..use emulation

[alpine dawn]

lmao

oh god that would suck

[slim spoke]

it runs factorio

[fluid turret]

Yes but only having 4 means zero head room and zero head room means swap

[alpine dawn]

and emu on top of that

gonna need more

[slim spoke]

i got 8gb if i get bored lol

[alpine dawn]

break out the soldering iron and strap some more to it

lmao

[lime elm]

It seems to be that once a certain amount of stuff has been dismantled is when it crashes.. If i go and dismantle 1 thing at a time it crashes after about 5 mins. If I go mad and select a load of stuff to delete the crashes with in 2 or 3 batch dismantles

[alpine dawn]

welp....

Plex is what is screwing my space

:/

caches and whatnot

need to move them to the RAID

[alpine skiff]

Is anyone able to tell me how to add players to my server or how they can join? I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this sort of thing

And by a bit of a noob I mean I've never done anything like this before lol

[wispy hinge]

Anyone know why when I put the password in to 'autenticate' nothing happens

?

[thorny magnet]

zeta follow the wiki first - and let us know if youre hitting any road blocks

[indigo cape]

@lime elm I can dismantle all day it seems as long as I don't mass dismantle, but seems I can do it to foundations without issue only seems to do it when I do buildings

[alpine skiff]

I was able to get the server up on my end and transferred my save into it, but when I try getting my friend into it they're not able to find it

[rancid sundial]

sorry if this has been asked a million times but what sort of specs are good to run the server on?

[alpine skiff]

I'm suspecting that it's because I haven't done any of the port forwarding, but I was hoping to avoid that because I wasn't sure what to use as the internal or external ports haha

[thorny magnet]

how are you accessing your server? did you input "localhost" to find it? if so - you're going to need to use the ip address of the computer you're hosting the server on and also forward the ports on your router

[alpine skiff]

No, I ran ipconfig and used the IPv4 address. Not sure if that's correct though

[indigo cape]

@rancid sundial nothing official but any cpu and 4-8gb ram seems to be the going rate

[rancid sundial]

uses all 4-8GB or thats accounting for system as well?

[thorny magnet]

gotcha - so yeah your last step would be forwarding the ports on your router

[indigo cape]

zetta are you both inside the same network or is your friend somewhere else?

[covert yew]

how can I tell the server to load a save?

[indigo cape]

@rancid sundial yeah with system OS

[slim spoke]

be admin on server and do in menu of game

[alpine skiff]

My friend is in Slovenia and I'm in the US lol

[rancid sundial]

thanks

[slim spoke]

if u make sure server has the saves to load

[covert yew]

@slim spoke

[indigo cape]

@alpine skiff then yes you will have to forward the ports and give him your actual IP .. goto google type in what's my ip

[slim spoke]

nice pic i guess

[thorny magnet]

load into the game - and hit Esc -> Load Save (as administrator of server) i believe

[indigo cape]

I didn't I just started a new one from the server

but I started fresh why skip all the new early bugs they created

ports are 15777, 15000, and 7777-7780 I think was the recommended but if only 1 person joining 7777 should be enough

with the two 15k ones of coarse

[arctic dragon]

so I keep seeing in chat people saying use the install command, not the update command when updating the server, but I can't seem to find the command people are referencing. Can someone please repost it?

[fluid turret]

I dont think there is actually a difference

[thorny magnet]

I have only used update, seems to work fine

[fluid turret]

just remember to set the install directory to the same as before otherwise you get duplicated server tools

[thorny magnet]

yah I made this error the first time 😆

[covert yew]

I'm running a server with out the extra 7778-7780 ports with more than one player fine.

[alpine skiff]

What should I use as the external port and internal port? Sorry about all of the basic questions, I have zero networking experience and can only conceptually imagine what's happening rather than know the technical aspects of it all

[arctic dragon]

It just seems odd because the update command is around the size of the initial install, but thats alright.

even with force dir

[analog rune]

how do i change the autosave interval?

[indigo cape]

@covert yew you probably have udp auto turned on

[vagrant turtle]

A good how-to is here:
https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[arctic dragon]

internal and external should be the same

[indigo cape]

forget what it's actually called but I have that on too that if my computer is listening it auto opens the ports needed

[vagrant turtle]

UPNP

[indigo cape]

that's it blak lol couldn't for the life of me remember the name of it

[sleek lantern]

What does my friend do to join my server?

[vagrant turtle]

hehe

learned a lot dealing with crypto

[indigo cape]

join the ip

[arctic dragon]

I think technically its not good practice to keep UPNP on, but you should be fine #notanexpert

[alpine skiff]

I wish I did. Most of the simple tutorials used routers that were garbage so their UI was a lot more intuitive. I just have my spectrum router and nobody with one of these are ever going to be doing anything like this so charter didnt put much effort into it

[indigo cape]

yeah just have to manually open them if you don't have it on so gave him the ones he needs to open for this game dedicated

[thorny magnet]

Your specific router will look different but this is an example of what Mine looks like

[vagrant turtle]

make sure you give him your "external" IP .. can be found by many different ways.. I usually use ipchicken.com ... but your router can tell you too

[arctic dragon]

UI gang ayyyy

[thorny magnet]

eyyyy

[arctic dragon]

UDM?

[alpine skiff]

So just use internal 7777 and external 7777 for example? And if that doesn't do the job then try the other ports listed?

[brazen cypress]

getting a fail when starting server with linuxgsm any ideas cant seem to find anything in the logs

[sleek lantern]

Thanks

[indigo cape]

@alpine skiff just have to open 15777, 15000 and 7777 to your dedicated server host ip the 192.168.x.x from the main router that connects to the outside world

[alpine skiff]

This is perfect, thank you!

[arctic dragon]

You need to open all ports listed on wiki, should be 3 ports

[thorny magnet]

dream machine pro! works great!

[indigo cape]

and if you have upnp you should be able to just do the 7777 I believe

[arctic dragon]

ah man, I didn't get the pro because of space reasons but man the UDM works great!

[indigo cape]

but I did all 3 per the webpage guide

[alpine skiff]

Awesome, thank you all. I'll let you know how it goes

[arctic dragon]

I believe with UPNP you shouldn't have to open any ports. It should reroute the traffic automatically (thats the whole point after all)

[thorny magnet]

feel free to DM me zetta or keep posting here, everyone is super helpful 😄 you're super close to having it all done

[indigo cape]

yes should 🙂

[arctic dragon]

exactly

[vagrant turtle]

me personally, I disable UPNP ...

[indigo cape]

problem in my network is I have more than one machine that hosts lol sometimes it gets confused

[arctic dragon]

I don't like things that open stuff up automatically... lol

[indigo cape]

and what potato said I try not to use stuff that opens me up auto magically

[vagrant turtle]

I hear ya there, about the auto opening ports..

[indigo cape]

to many scan every ip in the world groups out there and then try to find open ports to get in through

[vagrant turtle]

just like whenever I have to compile new crypto wallets... UPNP="-" ... disables it in the config line heheeh

[frosty gale]

Hi when will dedicated servers come to epic games? (Rough dates fine)

[indigo cape]

they didn't say

[thorny magnet]

5-10 years ago I'd say ahhh youre just being paranoid... but no, totally agree haha

[indigo cape]

but the steam one works for both epic and steam version

[arctic dragon]

I mean you can download the tool from steamCMD even without a steam key, thats what I did

[indigo cape]

lol I watch the hits on my firewall at work daily it's crazy

[thorny magnet]

the server can be installed regardless what version of the game you own - it is completely free to install from SteamCMD

[frosty gale]

So I can make server from ePic games with steam

[indigo cape]

they find you exist and then hit every port until they find an open one and then start trying to get in

[thorny magnet]

yes thats right

[slim spoke]

pinned messages has method for servers

[frosty gale]

Ok boys time to make a server

[alpine dawn]

same

[indigo cape]

@frosty gale yes you can run the dedicated from steam version and join using epic

[alpine dawn]

cleared out 1GB

[thorny magnet]

follow the wiki post in the pinned msgs and let us know if you hit a wall

[alpine dawn]

should be good

[arctic dragon]

I have people from both platforms connecting, using steamCMD to install the dedicated server tool and running it

[frosty gale]

Ok thank you

[indigo cape]

yeah just use the cmd from the website for anonymous login then you don't need your steam info

[vagrant turtle]

a good how-to is here:
https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

[arctic dragon]

anonymous is best... except when the game needs a key for the dedicated server tool, which thankfully this game doesn't

[austere glacier]

Video on how to make a Dedicated server for Windows using Steamcmd. https://youtu.be/7boHCo1JZus

[indigo cape]

yeah the command is on that wiki link blak just set like 1/4 bar down

[frosty gale]

So uh one more question do I just run the tool on steam and then make the server from epic games

[slim spoke]

go to the wiki link above it has step by step what to do

[arctic dragon]

so basically how it works is you just run the .exe for the server and do initial setup in-game upon first login

[indigo cape]

you run the steamcmd (which is a program you download) the actual steam client isn't needed

then when it's done you just run the exe

loginto it using your satisfactory client and set the passwords and crap and off ya go

[vagrant turtle]

and depending on the OS, if linux, some have a steamcmd able to be installed via the system.

not sure how windows servers do it... I mainly only run linux servers

[alpine skiff]

Coming from a complete noob, the wiki is pretty good. It's missing 1 or 2 pieces, but of course they're the very basic pieces that only people who are completely new to this won't think to do by default

[indigo cape]

unless you want to play a previous save then it gets a bit more complex but still fairly easy

[arctic dragon]

windows is similar, excpet of course you don't have pacman, you just install it from an msi on the internet

[vagrant turtle]

yeah, they kinda miss for a linux setup, you need to do ./steamcmd.sh ..... instead of steamcmd

[indigo cape]

lol yeah I'm not sure because steamcmd been on my windows server for years but pretty sure I just typed into google and then downloaded it

[arctic dragon]

lol, using powershell type commands for the install... funny

[brazen cypress]

linuxgsm help needed install went good but get a fail when starting server

[arctic dragon]

what kind of error?

[brazen cypress]

doesnt say either a code 1 or 2 but debug cant find anything usefull

[cunning bane]

has anyone encountered the dedicated server saying its up to date but not updating to next version?

[south crescent]

is anyone getting crashes when placing elevators on a dedicated server?

[indigo cape]

anyone else have the tractor sound like it's got some backfiring and throttle issues?

@south crescent so far no I've got around 20 placed right now without issues

[vagrant turtle]

yes, if you are using the "update" command to try and update.. you need to run the "install" command instead

many have had that issue today

[south crescent]

@indigo cape whenever i place even one it boots me

[alpine skiff]

Are you running it through steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 +quit ? This worked for me

[frosty gale]

Well I watched the video but I don’t get the wifi port crap

[cunning bane]

ill give it a yry thank you

[indigo cape]

hmm try doing a validate on the server and on yours only thing that has crashed the server so far is mass deconstructing buildings and nothing has kicked me yet and I've been on most of the day logged off about 4 hours ago to update both and then been on since

[vagrant turtle]

heh.. running a startup script through crontab, and piping all the output to a log file, instead of running through a screen ... (have issues automating that still), their text output is not "flushed" properly, and my tail -f of the log file I created, gets cut off until it gets enough data to close the batch of text

[alpine skiff]

Another thing I was curious about. Should I keep the server constantly running in the background of my PC if I want my friends to be able to join it while I'm not in game? Is that how it works?

[indigo cape]

yes

[alpine skiff]

Okay cool

[indigo cape]

that''s the point of dedicated

honestly the only reason to run dedicated

[alpine skiff]

Yeah I figured, but I wanted to be sure before I assumed anything haha

[indigo cape]

almost to "pull the lever!"

Phase 2

hehe

[alpine skiff]

Anyone know where I can check the ports to make sure I've set them up correctly? Wasn't sure if there was a tool or something I could download

[vagrant turtle]

nice.. we are working on phase 3

[indigo cape]

I've been moving super slow lol

keep hoping the mods will get working cause I don't wanna redo a bunch of crap

[violet siren]

Is there still a 4 player cap on dedicated servers?

[indigo cape]

pretty sure but didn't think to check that lol that would be cool if they moved it to like 8 player or something

[vagrant turtle]

let's just say, that within 1 - 2 months tops ... when I purchased the game... I completed Update 4 (elevator wise, and hub wise, and mam wise) .. but we had a hell of a mess of conveyors and we decided to restart... We finished that last week... Only 4 days so far on the new restart

[brazen cypress]

found the problem the multi arch installed amd arch for whatever reason fixed now

[exotic drum]

Any recommendations for a good server host?

[violet siren]

Hey dm me

[indigo cape]

lol @vagrant turtle I have like 4 saves with 300+ in each and had friends in them with me so no telling how much they played

[vagrant turtle]

I still have my old save of course.. and you know what, since more than one can be running, I may decide to restart it and run it side by side. heheeh

[indigo cape]

so far my favorite play through was I built a huge factory that had everything in it with lifts on the outter wall that went up, I had bottom floor was all bins (1 for everything except most ore) 1st floor was constructors, 2nd was assemblers, 3rd was the big machines and some drones that delivered crap all of the place it was like 7 drone ports or something

everything except nuclear obviously

[vagrant turtle]

heheh.. sounds about how I tried to start my first one, but didn't realize I needed soooooooo much damn space HAHAHA

[indigo cape]

oh space wasn't a problem I built it up really high

[vagrant turtle]

we got nukes going, with plutonium going into the sink... (not plutonium waste)

[indigo cape]

you know the coal veins near the water in the southern part of the forest start ... I built it up on the top of the highest mountain hanging over that water lol

lol yeah I did that too blak

screw reusing it and getting new waste you can't get rid of

just sink it

[vagrant turtle]

yeah, since there was no way to get rid of plutonium waste (yet) ... hehe

[indigo cape]

I had a mod that was called waste shielding I used it for the plut waste for a bit but decided it still required me to store too much even if it didn't radiate me anymore

[slim spoke]

thats the trade off ... whole game is about trade offs

[dull night]

there's a site called canyouseeme.org that checks open ports (if you haven't tried already)

[indigo cape]

I miss the modular power mod too, god I loved getting power from air and puddles of water lol

[alpine skiff]

I haven't. I've been trying to run netstat and it closes itself every time it finishes haha. Thanks for the tip

[fervent wharf]

Anyone else have to restart their servers very often?

Seems to just stop and kick everyone out and then I have to restart the service to bring it back online.

[dull night]

good luck o7

[arctic dragon]

haven't had long enough runtime between updates to actually test that... so no? @fervent wharf

[indigo cape]

@fervent wharf might be crashing, mass dismantle seems to do that not sure what else at this time

I'm only running 1 person right now and I've been up all day with only 1 crash when I dismantled 6 assemblers at once

[fervent wharf]

I have me and 2 others atm, keeps doing that often.

[indigo cape]

yeah I'd see what you guys are doing when it happens... because something is for sure crashing it but the hard part is you stay like your playing for a good 2min before it finally kicks

[mellow thicket]

dumb question because I'm doing this solo.. How do people connect to your dedi?

[arctic dragon]

are we talking like every hour or every 10 minutes? Because my longest runtime with 2 other was about an hour and a half without issues

[indigo cape]

join game ... type in ip @mellow thicket

[slim spoke]

server manager add server by ip

[arctic dragon]

server manager, they need your public ip and any password that you may have set

[fluid turret]

via public IP if you have the server locally

[vagrant turtle]

after you open your ports on your router, you just give them your external IP address.

not the 192.168 address.. the one at the router

[fervent wharf]

You can also use a free ddns to have a url to give them instead.

[vagrant turtle]

or own domains like I do.. hehe

[vital raptor]

Anyone else been getting

Assertion failed: shortcut [File:D:/ws/SB-160502110050-fad/UE4/Games/FactoryGame/Source/FactoryGame/Private/FGPlayerState.cpp

[fervent wharf]

I would if my dang ISP would have a static ip....

[mellow thicket]

I get how routing and external IP's work. All I see is Join via Session ID

[fluid turret]

Unless your server doesn't work ignore all the errors

[arctic dragon]

join via server manager, not join game

[vagrant turtle]

the person joining needs to click on "Server Manager" and "Add Server" then add your external IP

[void holly]

where is the server manager?

[vital raptor]

Server is borked and can't load the save and have someone else connect.

[slim spoke]

exp client menu

[mellow thicket]

Ok.. do they need a PW to join?

[fluid turret]

only if you set one

[mellow thicket]

I only see join game if I enter the admin pw

[vagrant turtle]

then a server is not created / running

[indigo cape]

the ddns are usally free and the first D is for dynamic

[mellow thicket]

ahh.. I see.. thx

[indigo cape]

for people like you that don't have static 🙂

[void holly]

where do i find the server manager? all i see is join via session id

[slim spoke]

main menu?

[fluid turret]

are you on Experimental?

[slim spoke]

its in the exp client

[void holly]

ah, i thought 5 was out, my mistake

[vagrant turtle]

if your screen doesn't look like that, then you aren't running the right version

[void holly]

yep, understood, thanks

[vagrant turtle]

🙂

[alpine dawn]

interesting, I had to run the steamcmd command 2 times before it would work

[arctic dragon]

weird flex but ok

[indigo cape]

lol, didn't mean it like that I'm also dynamic 🙂

guess should've said people like us 🙂

[alpine dawn]

first run of steamcmd it threw ERROR! Failed to install app '1690800' (No subscription)

[arctic dragon]

I honestly didn't read the whole message an I thought you meant your public ip was static. lol

[alpine dawn]

literally hit up and hit enter

and it worked

[vagrant turtle]

understood. heheh I'm "technically" dynamic, but even though I have a business class net to the house, due to working from home, my IP doesn't change unless we have a power outage over 8 hours.. hahahaha (last time my IP changed)

[indigo cape]

lol maybe the anon didn't like it the first time lol

same here blak , mine was the same for years until the huge snow storm that knocked us out for about a week

[arctic dragon]

ouch, you would think business class would be static even with a big outage. rip

[vagrant turtle]

This is just basic business class

If I upgrade to 600MB async, then my IP would be static

[faint wagon]

how do we report when game actions crash the server?

[vagrant turtle]

but, I'm only 100 down, 10 up

[hushed gate]

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

Oct 28, 2021, 2:38 AM

[vagrant turtle]

I think it auto sends

every time I have seen a crash, I have seen a few extra lines before it did the crash notification then exited out

[arctic dragon]

fun. business class is ridiculously expensive here, and they don't even offer async... fastest upload possible is 35 megabits

[vagrant turtle]

core dump, not seg fault

I'm still waiting for my DishyMcFlatface .. .heheeh 🙂 they said it should be here mid to late 2021 ... but I have a feeling I won't get it until the beginning 2022 (Starlink)

then I'll have 3 net connects into the house... Wife has her own business line 🙂

[arctic dragon]

I would love to try starlink if it didnt absolutely struggle with small packets

would also need to own a house first ig, but I could rig something up, right? lol

[vagrant turtle]

I hope they get up to 1gb speeds up/down in a reasonable time too, once everything is up and going

for starlink no.... hell, it has been tested, and you can actually be out on a boat and get good net

[arctic dragon]

thats actually best case scenario if you have smooth waters

[vagrant turtle]

after seeing the inside of one, no, it has at least 500 receivers inside the thing... and can get many angles ... the design is awesome ... and it talks to multiple sats at the same time... even if you just have a patio in an apartment that has a straight up clearing, it will work

[slim spoke]

basically its wifi hanging from a balloon

[alpine dawn]

my symmetrical gigabit is dynamic IP

[vagrant turtle]

uh oh... Z doesn't open the map any more ... it was unlocked on 4

[slim spoke]

check the mam

[mellow thicket]

I have to say, I really like this AMP console..

[cunning bane]

yeah now server wont run at all even after fresh reinstall

[mellow thicket]

Can schedule backups, add admins, etc.. pretty nice

[vagrant turtle]

all known as they are supposed to be

[slim spoke]

check the recipe on it in mam

i just rmemeber someone had to reunlock something cause the recipe uses quickwire now or something

no idea what it was just thought maybe it helps

[vagrant turtle]

hmm.. the ones locked are still the same.. not seeing any re locked ones.. but going through them all 🙂

[oblique lily]

Does anyone know how to update the server on linux? I had everything running fine until the update today. It's saying server and game versions are not compatible.

[hollow cedar]

its not reading my save files and idk why

[slim spoke]

did u put them in right folder for server

[hollow cedar]

yes

[alpine dawn]

same steamcmd you used to install I think

[slim spoke]

made urself an admin on server

[hollow cedar]

yes

its like theres another directory

[slim spoke]

loaded the right save for whats in server folder

[hollow cedar]

weird

I don't get it.

[oblique lily]

Yea I tried doing that, getting same version mismatch error

[hollow cedar]

it was working fine.. then its like the program chose another directory I cant find.

[vagrant turtle]

nope, everything is unlocked up to it

[slim spoke]

check key bind i guess

or game might just be screwing with u til u reload save or game

[vagrant turtle]

checking key bind. 🙂

[hollow cedar]

been trying to find if theres any registry settings for save game location

[vagrant turtle]

It has been changed.. M for Map

[slim spoke]

ahhhh

[vagrant turtle]

YAY!!!! I like that change!

[slim spoke]

ya same here i hate Z key

[alpine dawn]

looking at the wiki try adding validate before +quit

[oblique lily]

Ok thanks, ill give it a go

[slim spoke]

my little kb its not next to shift

[alpine dawn]

steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir "/home/your_user/satisfactory" +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

like that

[vagrant turtle]

bah.. but "explored area" is no longer "explored" .. heheh all the beacons are there, but map lands have not been filled in hehe

[hollow cedar]

theres only 1 location for saves right?

[vagrant turtle]

yes

[slim spoke]

others said installing not updating fixed them

others say updating works fine for htem

[hollow cedar]

:S

I dont get it.

[slim spoke]

its a little hit miss right now

[vagrant turtle]

linux or windows?

better yet, here look at this how-to. 🙂 lots of good info:
https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

windows

its like its got another save location. saves are showing up in the client but not on the server... so weird

[vagrant turtle]

if the \server\ directory is missing, you need to create it, and put the files in there

[slim spoke]

also alot seem to forget to fix the path when updating and trying to fix things and dupe the install

maybe just fresh install double checking will help

[hollow cedar]

wont let me change the session name

[slim spoke]

server might not be able to do that yet

[hollow cedar]

wonder if its some windows protection? idk

[slim spoke]

its basic to get things together before they add rest of features/options code

[hearty terrace]

anyone else getting mismatch client server versions after 5.0.3?

170429 Client, Linux server version 209

[hollow cedar]

I'm really confused. its like theres another location for the save files.

[alpine skiff]

I see a different IP address when setting up port forwarding than the IPv4 address I see when I run ipconfig. Is this normal?

[vagrant turtle]

Run the "install" directions, not the update directions

[hearty terrace]

i ran this command:

Install or update the server before launching it

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

which is kind of both?

[vagrant turtle]

hrm.. looks proper... not sure off the top of my head then, if it did actually do an update

[rose hornet]

Huh. Truck stations are not happy on dedicated server, it seems. They keep losing their settings.

[hearty terrace]

Was playing on the server for a few hours just fine before installing the hotfix. Bummed out, but fell back to local machine game

[vagrant turtle]

and I'm assuming that you are passing a directory name as the $InstallationDir variable 😛 hehe..

[hearty terrace]

found save file

[vagrant turtle]

hmm ok

[alpine skiff]

And it's not my public ip address. So technically I see 3 different IP addresses when going through the steps. I did have UPnP on and that allowed me to get online locally, but my friend couldn't reach it. So I turned off UPnP and set up port forwarding under the IP address given to me by my ISP (which I can't seem to change) and the ports don't seem to be open when I test them. Anyone have any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

[vagrant turtle]

the IP by your ISP will always be "unchangeable by you"
But, in your router, are the 3 ports forwarded to the "Internal IP" address of the machine running your server?

[alpine skiff]

No, I think that's what the issue is. I can't change the IP address that the ports are forwarded to. Or maybe I'm missing something

[slim spoke]

port forwarding on router uses lan ip not isp ip

192.168..

[vagrant turtle]

What @slim spoke was just stating .. You need to know the internal IP of the machine running the server...

only your friends will need to know your external given by your ISP

[slim spoke]

router will have list of clients

so u can check ip that comp is using

i reserve the ip also so i never have it change

dont have to fix ports for all ur stuff then

[alpine skiff]

Is the internal IP what you'll find if you run ipconfig through the command prompt? That's what I've been assuming it is so I want to make sure

[vagrant turtle]

yeah, I always set static IP on a dedicated VM / machine on the internal IP network(s) 🙂

[slim spoke]

it shows both

[vagrant turtle]

yes, open a command prompt, and type ipconfig

[slim spoke]

ur lan ip should start 192.168

[vagrant turtle]

the one with 192.168.xx.xx will be the IP of the machine you ran it on

[hearty terrace]

can you give an example of your install dir? is it just the steam folder?

Like this?

/usr/games/steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir /home/2Loud/Steam +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

[alpine skiff]

Hmm this is what I see. I've been using the IPv4 address that is listed as the IP when I had UPnP turned on. And now that I have UPnP turned off and try to do port forwarding the only IP I can forward to is still a 192.168.x.x but it's a different one from the internal

[slim spoke]

internal ip of comp is 127.0.0.1 is that what u mean>?

[hearty terrace]

thats the loopback

win+r, then type cmd and hit enter

[alpine skiff]

No, I mean I've been using the 192.168 address that's listed in the command prompt. But that address isn't the same as the one that spectrum allows me to forward to

[hearty terrace]

ipconfig

[alpine skiff]

I'm an idiot. Meant to send this earlier lol

[vagrant turtle]

you don't want the ipv6 address, and with blanking out the ipv4 (if it starts with 192.168) is useless, as that is what is needed for help with your routing ...

nobody can touch your 192.168.x.y IP addy without you opening a port on your router ..

[alpine skiff]

Figured it out, just a case of the stupid lol

[alpine skiff]

Yeah I wasn't sure what was safe or not safe so I just took the safest route and blanked everything. There was only one IPv4 address listed so my thinking was that it didn't matter if you couldn't see the address either way

[slim spoke]

good to be safer then sorry

[vagrant turtle]

heh yep. 🙂 better safe than sorry. 🙂

[slim spoke]

is that to old of sayin for discord?

[vagrant turtle]

hell, I'm an old fart anyway, so ... not sure what these youngsters know now days heheh

[slim spoke]

hehe cool im 48 or sumthin

[vagrant turtle]

add 6

[slim spoke]

well cheers

[vagrant turtle]

🍻

[alpine skiff]

I'm 24 and I say that so I don't think it's too out of the question haha

[slim spoke]

lol

[vagrant turtle]

it's all good. 🙂 Learning is always good.. never too old to learn

[slim spoke]

so ur up n running zetta?

i can destroy brain cells again

[alpine dawn]

good news!

[hoary trench]

Questions, questions.... where do i begin

[alpine skiff]

Not yet. Trying to set it up, but something is stopping the app from letting me save it. Last time this happened UPnP was enabled, but now that it's disabled I'm back to troubleshooting

[slim spoke]

pinned messages is place to start 4 dedis

[hoary trench]

watched the vid, read the article

i've made a.... few game servers

Never used steamcmd though

[slim spoke]

k just shout if i might be of help zetta

[alpine dawn]

the only other one I have that uses steamcmd is Ark

[slim spoke]

congrats greg

[alpine dawn]

so fortunately the server was already setup for it

😄

[alpine skiff]

Thank you, I appreciate it

[vagrant turtle]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers
good walk-through for steam install

[hoary trench]

well, steamcmd/dpkg are already not playing nice

[vale frost]

Except that it's not available through Steam... Yet.... At least, last I checked it wasn't

[slim spoke]

cant u just bang it out in terminal

[hoary trench]

E: Unable to locate package steamcmd

[vagrant turtle]

check again .. my server has been installed through that exact link and is up and running now

as well as others

[hoary trench]

dyno could you stop

[fluid turret]

download libgcc1 instead

[alpine dawn]

yup my server just got setup

[fluid turret]

lib32gcc1 is for AMD chips

[hoary trench]

and... i have an AMD chip?

[fluid turret]

then yer fucked, idk need more context to help you

[vagrant turtle]

correction on that.. you mean "64 bit chips" .. not "just" AMD chips

[fluid turret]

nope lib32gcc1 fails completely on my 64bit intel chip, needed to get libgcc1

[vagrant turtle]

ubuntu / debian?

[fluid turret]

ubuntu

21.10

[hoary trench]

More context incoming (lmk if i should take this to steam community)
Debian 11 Bullseye
Updated/Upgraded
added i386 to dpkg

[fluid turret]

So I am guessing you are using LinuxGSM installation guide

[vagrant turtle]

Yes, the -i386 packages need to be installed.. forgot how off the top of my head.. gah!

[hoary trench]

im using the developer.valvesoftware.com one the wiki page linked

[vagrant turtle]

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

and then update

then try and install

[fluid turret]

Yeah thats in the command LinuxGSM uses for installing all dependancies and it fails at that point, changing it to libgcc1 worked for me

[earnest mural]

[earnest mural]

I just updated my server and this error has been coming up

[vagrant turtle]

ahh so it was already in there.. hrm... I'm at a loss then.. sorry 😦

[hoary trench]

i have almost all of those iirc

[fluid turret]

honestly just copy paste that line you need all of them anyways

[vagrant turtle]

Looks like something that happened in game caused it to crash.. restart?

[worthy niche]

Hello, I'm having trouble locating the config files for my dedicated server. Can someone point me in the right direction?

[hoary trench]

still fails to find steamcmd and libgcc

[earnest mural]

It's happening practically right when I launch it

Like it finishes loading then that happens

[hoary trench]

according to the wiki:

Linux     FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ ```

[vagrant turtle]

ok, nfi 🙂 sorry not seen that one

[fluid turret]

Can you provide screencap of the console, barring any sensitive info

[worthy niche]

Yeah I don't have that folder there annoyingly

Not sure where else to look

[fluid turret]

then you are looking in the wrong place or did not install the tool correctly

Windows or Linux Aidan?

[worthy niche]

Windows

It's all installed correctly. Played with my friend earlier

[fluid turret]

where did you install steamcmd and where did you install FactoryServer.exe

[worthy niche]

steamcmd is in my steam directory and the FactoryServer I believe is within as well

[vagrant turtle]

mine has always been steamcmd.sh

not without the .sh

[fluid turret]

Have you checked in steamcmd/steamapps/common ?

[vagrant turtle]

try changing the end from steamcmd to just steam

[fluid turret]

what would that help with lol

[hoary trench]

dynooooooooo shut

[vagrant turtle]

steam - Valve's Steam digital software delivery system

[fluid turret]

oh in his home folder you mean?

[worthy niche]

Found it steamcmd\satis\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer

[fluid turret]

is it actually satis or did you not type it all

I am confused

[hoary trench]

yeah no clue?

[worthy niche]

When I first created it, I got help from someone, that's what he told me to put

[vagrant turtle]

That's just a short name for SatisFactory that someone gave them apparently 😛

[fluid turret]

Have you tried installing a zip of steamcmd?

[covert yew]

I have a save that crashes the dedicated server on load and it runs fine on the regular game anyone else have that issue?

[fluid turret]

I have no idea why steamcmd alone would be causing issues apart from maybe running another apt update

[vagrant turtle]

was sudo apt install steam run?

I have had issues in the past too..

[worthy niche]

Yep

Dedicated servers feel very Alpha

[covert yew]

Did you find a fix?

[worthy niche]

It's just cause of how early the servers are

Gotta wait for them to fine tune this

[vagrant turtle]

yeah, but still fun

[worthy niche]

Fun if you can get it working xD

[vagrant turtle]

just don't go out fighting with a rebar gun, or use a parachute so far... (server crash) hehe

[worthy niche]

Oh really? wow

[vagrant turtle]

yep. heh

at least I'm at the point of building not exploring

[worthy niche]

I can't even do anything without crashing it seems

[vagrant turtle]

new map?

[hoary trench]

not yet

steam won't install either

[fluid turret]

manually install curl?

[hoary trench]

🤔 what does curl have to do with it

[fluid turret]

No idea but in previous installs I had to manually install curl but have you done sudo apt-get update recently

[hoary trench]

yes

[fluid turret]

Possibly this sudo add-apt-repository universe

oh well I meant to put multiverse

[hoary trench]

gxhut@mcfix:/home/steam$ sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
Error: 'multiverse' invalid
gxhut@mcfix:/home/steam$```

[slim spoke]

did u try cmd he said .. u changed the last word

[fluid turret]

either one could help

but clearly not

[hoary trench]

I did them both, however you might notice he said "i meant to put multiverse"

[fluid turret]

Whats your distro and version?

[hoary trench]

the output was the exact same btw

if it matters, this isn't ubuntu, it's debian

[slim spoke]

ah missed that mb 🙂

[fluid turret]

would have been good to know

[hoary trench]

I did actually say that a while ago

[hoary trench]

right here

[fluid turret]

actually nvm it shouldn't be different

it would be different if it was centos or redhat

well then

thanks dyno

[floral aurora]

Any of you came across this error?

I attempt to connect and just times out after a minute.

[hoary trench]

now downloading

[slim spoke]

is ur stuff all up to date?

[fluid turret]

Also connection speed problem, ports or firewall problem

[floral aurora]

My friend got in

Local firewall issues?

Im local. Friend is remote.

[slim spoke]

if u on same comp use 127.0.0.1

[fluid turret]

are you using localhost to connect?

[floral aurora]

Nah different machine

[fluid turret]

ok

[slim spoke]

or lan ip

[floral aurora]

Attempted to use private ip

unable to get it working

Picks up server using public ip

[slim spoke]

try a few times

[floral aurora]

Shows offline using my private ip of 192.168.1.3 and it's a static ip set on the device.

[slim spoke]

or maybe client is getting punked by defender or something

[floral aurora]

What im thinking

I'll clear permissions and start up again.

[jovial warren]

chase your not the only one having this problem.. we just performed a fresh upgrade on our test server and getting the same unetconnection timed out

[floral aurora]

Re-setup permissions and set allow on the 2. 4 Allowed total

Nope same timeout

[slim spoke]

im updating exp then i can launch my save and u can try to my game

[floral aurora]

👍

[slim spoke]

goin to just load the game not dedi cause im lazy and havent actually set mine up yet

but i know it works so u can use as test to fix

[jovial warren]

So what exactly is the fix for this issue?

[slim spoke]

he is working on his

[floral aurora]

My friend only difference is he is bypassing his router

But he gonna try with his router now.

[slim spoke]

ya just watching launcher go byte by byte lol

[floral aurora]

With router still works for him

Im gonna try something crazy

Get on a VPN and try it out.

[slim spoke]

k

[floral aurora]

Added some latency as expected

WOW

IT WORKS

Can we get the developers on this?

[slim spoke]

so something is blockin ya goin out

[floral aurora]

@jovial warren I found a solution that worked for me. I have ExpressVPN and got on my VPN and was able to connect to my local server.

Added about 25-30 ms of latency

[jovial warren]

So wait you have to be on the same subnet as the server?

[floral aurora]

I don't think so

My server is on the same network as my local machine

[slim spoke]

no vpn let him bypass windows or firewall or something

[floral aurora]

My local is 192.168.1.2 and server is 192.168.1.3

192.168.1.1-192.168.1.32 are not in the DHCP pool.

[slim spoke]

Hamachi does the samething

[floral aurora]

But still uses 256 address subnet

[quick mist]

Hamachi is a known miscreant that creates many more problems than it solves

[slim spoke]

didnt say use it

i said it does the samething

[quick mist]

no, but I'll say don't use it.

[jovial warren]

Ok... here me out on this... I run the server hosting company Renegade Hosting. We do Dedicated VPS servers.. We have a few of these boxes stood up as tests and they are 100% public facing.. sooo... how do you get around that issue when you get the UNetConnection Tick: Connection Timed Out?

[slim spoke]

if u use it and it works then ur setup is wrong

and its from the multiplayer troubleshooting room info btw

[floral aurora]

hmm

[quick mist]

is that error coming from clients? at what point in the connection process? Have you got all three UDP ports open?

[slim spoke]

its just easy way for people to bypass security and see if it will work if u get things right .. then u throw it out

[jovial warren]

ah yeah.. I can give you screenshots and such.

fqdn of that servers is rh-vps-444.renegadehosting.net

[quick mist]

mind if I see if I have the same issue?

[jovial warren]

go for it

[slim spoke]

finally exp updated lol

[jovial warren]

Out put of our Firewall settings on that box.

[quick mist]

interestingly, the error I get is reporting port 7778

what do you get from ss -plnu | grep UE?

[slim spoke]

renegade are u on ipv6?

those might be confusing the server it doesnt do v6

[quick mist]

for example, this is what ss reports for me:

okay that's interesting

it's listening on 7777 and 7778?

that's wrong

something went sideways somewhere

[jovial warren]

No we don't have IPv6 enabled on this server at the moment. the Firewall just auto inputs it when we add the rules.

[slim spoke]

any other ue games maybe in background?

[quick mist]

same PID; it's not another game

[slim spoke]

are u using 2 ips or v4 n v6

[jovial warren]

nope only one.

[quick mist]

so by the looks of it, your Beacon port is not listening

which explains why the connect times out
