Ufw disable and try

[fluid turret]

Local network but not your gaming machine, are you sure you are using the right IP?

[jovial warren]

did you just do a ufw allow portnumber or did you do a ufw allow portnumber/udp ?

[full kraken]

I’m getting a ton of texture pop-in

[weak island]

1st one

[full kraken]

Usually the game is on an NVME SSD, now the server is on SATA SSDs

[full cipher]

for everyone wondering about ports, now is a good time to brush up on your wireshark skills

[jovial warren]

add the /udp ufw sometimes doesn't handle it correctly and will only put them in as tcp

[desert finch]

They sometimes tend to get stuck in a "Build" state (blue color) and you can just place 10-20 blue belts in a row (and wait for a miracle, i guess).
Also, a very frustrating surprise awaited me in the Experimental build... the trains now have collision. So if you have a 2 to 1 merged track - the trains will hit each other (sometimes they will be destroyed and sometimes just stuck there in an endless "try to move" loop)

[mellow thicket]

Maybe, but the server logs will pretty much show the hang up

[grand geode]

Yup get that as well then they tend ot timeout after a while

[empty mountain]

or brush up on SDWAN.

[mellow thicket]

Would spend more time filtering out chatter than it would take to just read the logs and adjust

[grand geode]

@desert finch Also seem to be specific with a segment. Whats also interesting when multiple clients were looking at it all of them had the same problem. Which suggests its failing to send the required information or something to all clients

[full kraken]

i heard if the ports are too close together it causes conflicts

leave 5 ports between servers

[full cipher]

lol yeah my solution is using a hammer to flip a switch

[inner summit]

Is anyone else having an issue with trying to have more than 4 players on a server/

[mellow thicket]

I typically do 10, if i cant have a different ip

[grand geode]

@fallen bison Then after a while it comes back?

[inner summit]

I've edited the game.ini file and it still doesn't seem to work

[full kraken]

hows performance for you guys??

[grand geode]

Then vanished again....

[mellow thicket]

Steam likes to grab random ones at times

[empty mountain]

if i get other players on my server id be happy to test it

[mellow thicket]

Server and client game.ini modified?

[inner summit]

Mine is modified and the server game.ini are both modified

[mellow thicket]

I guess player count doesnt need to be applied in both

[full kraken]

can i increase netbandwidth?

[mellow thicket]

THIS has to be done on client as well as server

[gleaming bay]

did they update again my game is saying server and game are not the same version

[desert finch]

If you remove the resources - yes

[stray gale]

@jovial warren who has to open 7778 btw ? Host or client ?

[full kraken]

i have my net quality on ultra - curious if that increases it, or if the server defaults are the max

[jovial warren]

Host

[mellow thicket]

Host

[stray gale]

Ok, cant connect then :(

[full kraken]

ooh okay ultra network settings on client are higher than server defaults

[limber flare]

Do you have a specific reason to adjust the bandwith limitations?

[full kraken]

load faster?

ive got a fairly quick internet connection

and my server is on the same LAN

ive been getting texture pop-in

[limber flare]

I'm not sure that the bandwith limits will help that one.
The recommendations to increase bandwith were mostly to get around multiplayer issues that aren't much of a problem anymore

[inner summit]

I have the game.ini file modified, is there something wrong with that?

[limber flare]

but if you still want to do it, just edit the relevant files on the server side, and see what happens.
make sure to set them to Read Only though, or every update will wipe out the changes

[wraith pebble]

is it a way to remove a ghost player? that is still in a truck while being offline?

[limber flare]

https://tenor.com/bcUvL.gif

awww, the gif didnt post 😦

[gleaming bay]

i got it lol

[wraith pebble]

is it possible?

[full cipher]

kill it

[coral rose]

how do you find the IP address for a server?

[full cipher]

xenozapper/basher/gun

[wraith pebble]

how

[limber flare]

Its the IP address of the host.

[grand geode]

you get it from the person hosting

[coral rose]

ok

[wraith pebble]

hmm, tried that. also tested with a tractor, never goes below 50% HP

[inner summit]

Does anyone have a dedicated server with more than 4 players on it?

[full cipher]

or maybe deconstruct the vehicle? they might be invuln in the vehcile

[grand geode]

yeah.....

but only really for a brief period of time

[inner summit]

Have they had issues with the client saying the server is full

[wraith pebble]

there is still a player inside, so cannot do that. The play respawned but is still driving it somehow? 😮

[grand geode]

no because i changed the MaxPlayerLimit in the config file as described in the wiki

[inner summit]

I've modified my game.ini and the server game.ini but it still says it is full at 4

[limber flare]

Starting the server or updating it rewrites the game file unless you set it to read only

[full cipher]

push the vehicle into poison gas? that should kill em

[wraith pebble]

tried submerging it, no result.

[inner summit]

is the commad maxplayers=x or maxplayerlimit=x ?

[mellow thicket]

Did you restart the server? Also, player count doesnt have to be modified on the client

[grand geode]

your running the server right?

[inner summit]

yes

I've restarted it after the update already

[grand geode]

update may have undone your changes

[limber flare]

Windows or Linux, and which file did you edit (Full path please)
Did you set the file to read only? Check it again to make sure your edit is still in there.

[full cipher]

idk, as a last resort maybe try editing the save in SCIM, there is a section that lists players, maybe you can remove the player from the save

[grand geode]

./SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini

[inner summit]

satisfactory-experimental/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor

[wraith pebble]

how to do that? is it on the website?

[full cipher]

here is link to SCIM https://satisfactory-calculator.com

[wraith pebble]

were to go there? what category etc, where to upload file?

[limber flare]

ok, that should be the right file (both of your filepaths @grand geode and @inner summit )

[full cipher]

click on experimental if you are playing in that game branch

[grand geode]

Yeah I know mine is right cause it works 🙂

[inner summit]

It still says server is full

[limber flare]

Did you set it to Read Only? It re-writes the file upon server start

(Are your changes still in the file?)

[full cipher]

click on experimental if you are playing in that game branch, then click interactive map, then drag your save file into the area that says to drag it there

[wraith pebble]

ok thx

[inner summit]

just uploaded file started server and now re downloaded, my setting that set the server limit to 16 is stil lthere

I did want clarification is the command maxplayers=x or maxplayerlimit=x ?

[limber flare]

MaxPlayers=X

make sure spelling is with capitals too, i believe it is case sensitive

[lapis isle]

Hey is changing ports possible now like can I use something other than 7777 and 15777

[limber flare]

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

Read the first 2 paragraphs, it depends

some are overrideable, some are not (currently)

[lapis isle]

I see

So it is possible to host multiple servers without dedicated ip for each

[limber flare]

correct

[lapis isle]

I think I made a mistake yesterday it cost 4 hours 😅

Then I can offer people affordable hosting for satisfactory :)

[silent prairie]

If you can change ports you can host multiple I'dd say

[limber flare]

however, since some ports cannot be redirected, multiple servers can only be hosted on a single machine

so that it can detect the other, and increment itself new ports

you would also have to predict this, and open appropriate port ranges on your router

[lapis isle]

I got a dedicated node so no problem kd routing

And 24 hours

[silent prairie]

I am upgrading my array so I can host more satisfactory servers if people want me to

10-12GB ram limit for each server should be more then well adequate

[lapis isle]

What is the supported numbers of players right now?

[limber flare]

4 (Officially)
? (Unofficially)

[lapis isle]

Zap hosting is giving 126🤔

[fluid turret]

Oh by the way the satisfactory save editor by Goz3rr has been updated to work for U5

[lapis isle]

They are taking too much money for low specs

[jovial warren]

<@&370483737957236737> I would like to request a place in this discord that folks like my self who do Server Hosting can advertise / promote deals and specials for Satisfactory instead of filling the main thread here with Adverts for hosting please.. It would help keep this channel clean and focused on issues that folks are facing with their servers.. Thank you..

[fluid turret]

127 is the hard limit

[lapis isle]

True I agree with Renegade

[silent prairie]

Would be a good idea Renegade

[limber flare]

I would like all commercial postings to be relegated to not this server

[quick mist]

agreed, this should be a tech channel, not a sales channel

[timid obsidian]

Is there a list of commands & settings?

[fluid turret]

quit and server.SaveGame

[quick mist]

currently known commands are quit, exit, and server.SaveGame "MyGameName"

[lofty latch]

@fluid turret did you intend to remove all of the automated solutions from the wiki? you reference them earlier on but removed the section entirely

not cool if that was >_<

[timid obsidian]

Okay thank's
And what about server settings ?

[fluid turret]

Read the summary Phonic

[silent prairie]

Oh agree there KeyboardSquid, if one aims to host for cash then that should be done off discord

[lofty latch]

the summary just says "Source Edit"

[empty mountain]

PM if you want to join in on testing

[lapis isle]

There should be a list with all the current providers it will be easy for people to know then?

[lapis isle]

Holdfast discord keeps one

[reef cedar]

what is this 😦

[limber flare]

Reddit might be a better place for that

and they can link to their own sites, or subreddits there

[timid obsidian]

I mean in .ini files

[mellow thicket]

I have room to host about 20-30 servers if anyone is interested. No sales pitch. All free of charge

[fluid turret]

I moved the automated solutions to their own page, the main page is getting way too bloated

[empty mountain]

reddit....<shiversmetimbers>

[inner summit]

So I have restarted the server multiple times, I have checked the file multiple times. I still have an issue with when a 5th player tries to join it says server is full

[fluid turret]

Not to mention every time a company comes out with their solution and adds it to the page it gets longer and becomes ad space basically.

[limber flare]

What do your server logs report?

[lofty latch]

It resulted in a massive drop - I'm going to change it slightly

[silent prairie]

Looks like it can't bind to the port 15777, do you have a firewall or something occupying that port?

[fluid turret]

You shouldn't rely on a wiki article for your advertising

[limber flare]

Exactly, this is a place to discuss the game and it's development. I dont want to see advertisements here, even if they're a service for this game

[reef cedar]

i entered in the router configuration and opened that port

[lofty latch]

the point is that none of them have any visibility now, I'm just going to make sure that there's a header item so it doesn't get skimmed over

[silent prairie]

But is it open on your machine?

[fluid turret]

Most wikis wouldn't even allow what you put on the dedicated server article.

[limber flare]

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

There's 3 ports you need to open, make sure these are all added in your router if you want it accessable to people outside your local network

[lofty latch]

@fluid turret I've lost count of how many wikis have a mention of AMP in it xD

I didn't even write most of them

[teal osprey]

Has anyone had success setting up their Nitrado dedicated server?

[silent prairie]

I never heard of AMP before, I use LinuxGSM

[reef cedar]

in the router configuration i openes the port with the ipv4 that appeared in the ipconfic of my pc

[reef cedar]

i have done it

[inner summit]

What am I looking for in server logs

[silent prairie]

Again, I asked about your computer, not the router

[lofty latch]

they're not really related, one is a web based panel for multiple users and the other is a shell script

[reef cedar]

i suppose no

[mellow thicket]

Server you mean?

[reef cedar]

how do i do it

[limber flare]

Look for the block of when player #5 attempts to join, and see what it says after. that

[silent prairie]

Quite right

[teal osprey]

You input your server data though the Server Manager, is that right?

[reef cedar]

what do i have to do in my conputer related to the ports?

[mellow thicket]

Nothing

[reef cedar]

a

[mellow thicket]

Its your server

Linux, windows?

[reef cedar]

windows cause i tried on linux and nono

[mellow thicket]

Turn off your firewall

[reef cedar]

entirely?

oof

[mellow thicket]

Also foward port 7778

[slim spoke]

no

[mellow thicket]

Temporarily, sure

[slim spoke]

tell ur software and shit that server can use ports and net

[mellow thicket]

Youre behind a router right?

[slim spoke]

u just have to do whats on the wiki

[reef cedar]

i forwarded the 7777 15000 and 15777

but i dont know if i forwarded the correctly

[inner summit]

okay looking at server files it shows me connecting and then this line comes

[2021.10.28-23.10.59:351][554]LogNet: PreLogin failure: Server full.

[reef cedar]

i used the ipv4 of my pc in the configuration to open the ports

[mellow thicket]

No

The server

[slim spoke]

you forward ports to teh server computer

[reef cedar]

i dont know what do you mean

[silent prairie]

Is 7778 really required? I have not done so andnpeople can join my server withour issue

[slim spoke]

client u just tell defender and such to behave

[reef cedar]

the server computer is my current computer

[mellow thicket]

You forward ports to the server, not the client

[reef cedar]

its the same for me

[mellow thicket]

Then no forwards are needed if connecting local

[reef cedar]

but i want others to connect

[mellow thicket]

Can you connect?

[silent prairie]

Hmm my discord seems to have a life of its own it just replied to the wrong person

[slim spoke]

mouse was over the box to pick fill in text

[reef cedar]

i cannot even set the server cause it crashes

[mellow thicket]

If you cant connect, you need to start there

[plain parcel]

so i set up a server on my pc but my freind cant connect to it and i dont know why

[lofty latch]

No it's not

[slim spoke]

could always wait til they fix server and put in library

ur game does mp for now

[mellow thicket]

Several have opened 7778 to get it working

[slim spoke]

15777 is the port that u have to be able to open

[lofty latch]

I don't have it open on my server, I think some are having network issues.

[slim spoke]

that starts things

beacon will keep them going

[mellow thicket]

Not always the case.

[reef cedar]

i have it open

[silent prairie]

Sorry about that ping, my discord app seems to be living its own life on me, that or typing on my phone at 1 am is not angood idea

[lofty latch]

Ah that might be why

Lol

[slim spoke]

well good luck with it

[weak island]

yea still not working
if I set the port to 15000 or 7777 in the game the console gets spammed with this port 15777 does nothing to the console (still showing server offline on all of them)

[mellow thicket]

Are you logged into steamcmd with the same account you are running the game with steam?

[tepid garnet]

Anyone else unable to launch dedicated server via steamcmd after todays update?

[slim spoke]

server on steamcmd is anon login

[empty mountain]

i got mine running with the latest update.

[mellow thicket]

You can log in.. was just checking

[tepid garnet]

Huh, wonder why mine all of the sudden wont launch...

factoryserver.exe -log -unattended

[silent prairie]

Might need to run update or calidate

Validate....

[tepid garnet]

I just ran the update on both server and client

[mellow thicket]

Run the full install on server

[silent prairie]

That's it can't type, sleep I must

Night all

[tepid garnet]

trying that, thanks for the advice

[pallid oriole]

Damn it sucks that I don't have a linux box on hand to test the server out, I'm using nodecraft and I can't get my update 4 save to load, but I can get it running if I use the windows client via steam

[fluid turret]

WSL or VM (Practically the same thing) work if you just want to purely test

[limber flare]

Launching and running fine for me

[lofty latch]

@fluid turret btw the section on creating a service might need breaking out into its own page too. That section has got really long and messy.

[quick mist]

WSL is markedly different from a VM; WSL environment binaries are running natively in Windows rather than on an emulated CPU as in a VM.

[lofty latch]

VMs are not an emulated cpu 😂

[fluid turret]

I meant hyper-v specifically

Hyper-V Ubuntu and WSL are practically the same

[limber flare]

I had to muck about in the server to figure out how to load a save.

The directory on Linux is <HomeDir>/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server/

Where HomeDir is whoever is running the Satisfactory Server process

[foggy agate]

no they arn't specially with Windows 11

[quick mist]

not quite; it's in ~/.config/Epic/[...]

[lofty latch]

@fluid turret only in WSL2 tho, WSL1 was a different beast.

[fluid turret]

I know

[foggy agate]

WSL2 is even better then the first one. With WSLg you are able to run any UI nativly on windows, just like its installed.

[pallid oriole]

Thanks all, nodecraft makes it fairly easy to actually get the save file onto the server (even if I managed to do it manually beforehand 😂), my issue is that when I try to load that file in the server, it immediately crashes and shuts the server down

[limber flare]

If you EVER used mods on this save that added buildables, you need to make sure the references to all of these are gone from the save file or it will freak out and crash.

I rescued one save like this, but it was hours of work in Satisfactory-Calculator and VSCode.

[tepid garnet]

This is the error I am getting when trying to launch my server on SteamCMD after the latest update. Has been working with no issues till now

[weak island]

the port is open so I dunno whats worng :/

[fluid turret]

My only experience with WSL is on a laptop I installed win 11 so excuse my lack of knowledge lol

[slim spoke]

did u give it an ip to send stuff to not 0.0.0.0.

[limber flare]

The destination should be your server

[pallid oriole]

Appreciate the tip, but I've not used any mods in the file at all 😦

[quick mist]

a bound IP of 0.0.0.0 means that the process is listening on all IP interfaces. This is fine.

[limber flare]

oh, i thought they were posting their router NAT rules

[slim spoke]

ok and i asked did he actually set ip for the shit to goto

[weak island]

what??

[slim spoke]

i didnt ask is this good or whatever

[limber flare]

I thought you were posting your router's NAT rules, not the Server's listening ports

[empty mountain]

WSL is like LXC (Linux Container). VM (Virtual Machine) uses virtualised hardware. Containers (aka Partitions in Unix) run as a process within the hosting OS.

[upper cedar]

i have a friend who keeps crashing on joining my dedicated server i join fine and run fine but she crash she have bin on but now she crash every time she try to load in. anybody know why or have and idea to try

[weak island]

also is this normal? (port 15777 not showing when I use it)

[slim spoke]

dont set the port to the port the servers goign to need to use

u need those 3 separate ports but 7777 is a range not just 1 port

it goes 7777-7823 or so

#multiplayer-troubleshooting

[mellow thicket]

7777 is 1 port

[slim spoke]

i know that is a port

but the server tries 7777 and if it cant then it goes up the rangte

just like all ue games do

[empty mountain]

you need 3 ports. and as the wiki says: 7777 is mandatory, the other 2 you can choose. so in your router, under NAT you set: External TCP/UDP 7777, 15777:15778 to internal <ip of your server> TCP/UDP: 7777,15777:15778 (where 15777:15778 can be different numbers to your liking)

[balmy glacier]

any idea and how to fix this error

[quick mist]

well, not all games just pick new ports. Usually they'll stop and say "the port is already in use, pick a new one" and die

[slim spoke]

ok enjoy that

[quick mist]

yeah, use the right password

[slender idol]

Yeah no not all UE4 games do that…

[foggy agate]

use the right password 😄

[slender idol]

A majority of them don’t

[slim spoke]

well this does

hence devs put in multiplayer stroubleshooting long long ago

[weak island]

im just trying to get the server working on my local network rn

[slim spoke]

but u guys enjoy the not working stuff .. ill be quiet

[cobalt burrow]

#looking-for-group-old

[empty mountain]

ok, lets say you have port 7777 and 15777:15778 set in the server's ini file. then you let the client connect to the 15777 port. And use the LAN IP of your server as address.

[balmy glacier]

This is after typing the password and clicking join.

[weak island]

im using the IPv4 of the computer

to connect to it

[inner summit]

Does anyone have a server avaliable with more than 4 players on at the moment?

[empty mountain]

thats fine.

[inner summit]

I want to see whether it is my client or a what is causing me unable to have more than 4 players in my server. I have modified the game.ini file and I still cannot seem to have more than 4 players

[slim spoke]

@inner summit #looking-for-group-old

or search in here for stuff bogdan said and find what he said about max players

[weak island]

ok so why does 15777 not show up in the console? but 15000 and 7777 do?

[teal osprey]

Do you set up your server on the server manager page???

[desert finch]

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

[fluid turret]

15777 is just the query port

[slim spoke]

server manager is for connecting to server

[fluid turret]

15777 is not used after a player connects

[vestal adder]

is there a list of known bugs/issues i can look at?

[weak island]

so it wont show up like this when I add it right (to my server list)?

[hushed gate]

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

Oct 28, 2021, 11:48 PM

[teal osprey]

@desert finchDoes that apply to a Nitrado dedicated server as well?

[empty mountain]

7777 is fixed in the game at the moment. but the other 2 can be changed. So in your case they may be 15000:15001

[weak island]

its all default

[empty mountain]

have your client connect to the server on port 15000

[limber flare]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com

[slim spoke]

client suggests its port .. if u just setup the server like wiki says

[weak island]

"This server apears to be offline"
Mean while this is spamed in console:

[quick mist]

that indicates that not all of the ports are properly forwarded to the host running the service

[weak island]

But they are

[half shuttle]

actually... is there a way to check this?

[quick mist]

so that indicates the host is listening.. check the router or firewall to ensure the inbound ports are forwarded to the host running the service

[foggy agate]

do a port scan

[half shuttle]

from lan side? or web tool?

[weak island]

running server on LOCAL network

[desert finch]

Sorry, i don't know what that is

[weak island]

using the servers IPv4

[slim spoke]

its just a pay server site mayhem

they should have a page to setup server stuff

[foggy agate]

depends on what you want, if you want to check the local connectivity, then local, if you try to get a connection from outside then outside

[half shuttle]

brb.

are all 3 ports active or check a specific one?

[empty mountain]

uhm, should be UDP and TCP

[foggy agate]

all 3 please 🙂

or just check every port.

[slim spoke]

they are udp ports

[weak island]

all UDP and TCP

[quick mist]

it's possible for the service to be listening behind a port that is closed by the firewall

[fluid turret]

its always the firewall trust me

so annoying

[weak island]

using Ubuntu

and opening the ports with UFW

[quick mist]

do you have ufw running?

[teal osprey]

Nitrado is a server hosting company offering dedicated servers for Satisfactory.

[empty mountain]

with ufw or iptables?

[foggy agate]

if you want to use nitrado, just use the web panel of them . 🙂

[weak island]

ufw

[foggy agate]

you could also try to disable ufw so there should be no problem. 🙂

[weak island]

ufw I think is running??

[slim spoke]

get rid of the ipv6 lol

H o w

[slim spoke]

server is ipv4

[empty mountain]

did you install sdl and steamcmd on your server?

[weak island]

the server is up I can see console

[quick mist]

okay, the UFW config looks clean

[weak island]

and yes

[foggy agate]

sudo ufw disable

[quick mist]

DO NOT do that

just turning off the firewall is NOT the answer

[fluid turret]

of course it is lol

[foggy agate]

for testing purposes it is 😄

[quick mist]

that's like saying "just go licking all the doorknobs you see until you find one you like"

[weak island]

disabling ufw will just allow all the ports right..?

[foggy agate]

yes

[quick mist]

sigh

[foggy agate]

so make sure you enable it when you have confirmed its not the problem

just sudo ufw enable

[quick mist]

"excuse me, I have to sneeze; let me take this facemask off first"

[weak island]

not probelm

[slim spoke]

remember yesterday guy cleaned ipv6 rules for dedi then shortly after his worked

[full kraken]

does performance with MP still kinda suck?

[weak island]

how would I remove the IPv6 forwards?

[slim spoke]

ask the linux gurus

[full kraken]

im debating migrating my singleplayer world onto my on-prem server and just playing through there

[empty mountain]

did you also make the symlink to the steamcmd.so as described on the install page's faq?

[mellow thicket]

If you are behind a router anyway, ufw disable isnt really that bad

[full kraken]

@weak island arent you using ptero? whats your issue

[weak island]

Server doesnt show its online in game

[full kraken]

beacon port

or one of the others

theyre used as a "keepalive" check for the server

what query port did u assign

[weak island]

I downloaded the egg u sent me and didnt change anything

its all default

[full kraken]

did you allocate all 3 ports to the server container

go to settings - nodes - allocation

type your ip in on the right, and for port do 15777

then do it again for port 7777 and again for 15000

[full kraken]

then make sure your router has all 3 of those ports, UDP, forwarded to the IP of your server

@weak island is this server on-prem?

with your client, try using both the internal address and external address to connect

if it shows online with the internal address, its port forwarding/router related

if it doesnt, its allocation/ptero related

[weak island]

(im using the IP that has the arrow to connect to the server)

[full kraken]

i think you need the external IP address for the server

is it a hosted server?

[weak island]

tried with external

[full kraken]

youll get a FQDN or IP (not a 10.x.x or 192.x.x address)

[weak island]

wut

[full kraken]

like server.example.com

or an IP

[slim spoke]

he is hostin on his comp with client

[weak island]

for what?

its all local networks rn

let me try to add 7778 to petro

[full kraken]

15000 is the beacon port

[foggy agate]

wtf is petro? 😄

[full kraken]

pterodactyl

game server management panel

[acoustic pecan]

Just confirming... Can run the server off Ubuntu correct

[weak island]

like this right?

[full kraken]

use default port

[weak island]

so 15777?

[soft prawn]

I am not finding the dedicated server tool on steam.. any help?

[full kraken]

beacon port is the "hidden" backend port the game uses to determine if a server is online or not

[full kraken]

ye

[full kraken]

yes

id reccomend the docker container

[acoustic pecan]

Kk ty

[acoustic pecan]

What's this site?

[full kraken]

pterodactyl

self-hosted game server management panel

[slim spoke]

dedi server is in pinned messages

[acoustic pecan]

Ooob

[full kraken]

its running on my Dell R730 i have at home

[sturdy slate]

im just not havin any luck 😂 i keep getting an error saying it cant access the internet on steamcmd

[full kraken]

sounds like a server issue

DNS or network connectivity in general

do ping 1.1.1.1

[foggy agate]

but why you want to run this instead of a docker container or even better a VM 😄

[full kraken]

and ping google.com

[full kraken]

this is a web-interface that runs backend docker containers

and lets you manage them thru a web panel

and host other servers too

i have minecraft, beamNG drive, 2 satisfactory servers, and a factorio server

all this is running inside a VM

and all the game servers run as docker containers

[foggy agate]

yeah but why tf would you want to use that 😄 Use docker directly instead with portainer or something like that 😄

[weak island]

is very pog

[full kraken]

because i like having a nice web interface

[weak island]

no gui command line veyr hard to use

[full kraken]

that gives me SFTP access, a web console, backups, etc

command line is easy

portainer is a gui btw

[gentle prawn]

how are they?

[full kraken]

this just makes it easier to interface with the servers, and its made for that

[weak island]

any ideas snow?

[full kraken]

go to network tab

in ptero

[full kraken]

@weak island egg just got updated

try updating to this one

[weak island]

just now??

within the last hour?

[full kraken]

45 min ago

you can reinstall the server thru the panel to update

btw it keeps save files

[weak island]

settings -> Reinstall server
after I update it?

[full kraken]

yes

[ionic gale]

anyone use amp and know how to invite friends to server?

[full kraken]

give them the external IP to connect

[ionic gale]

every time I do they cant connect

the server is running on my end

[full kraken]

firewall ports opened?

[full kraken]

wdym?

[sinful zenith]

your server works

[full kraken]

like on the AMP interface, right

[ionic gale]

yeah

I can join the server in game too

[slim spoke]

local connection doesnt have to go thru forwarded ports

[full kraken]

ruh rho my servers ports confliceted

LOL

[idle flower]

I'm using AMP, is there a way to view the save files for a dedi?

[foggy agate]

you have to hand them the external ip of your router and forward the ports to your pc on your router interface ^^

[ionic gale]

@full kraken its says server pending on my friends end

[slim spoke]

use the external ip u give friend and u can test ur server settings

[idle flower]

your friend needs to start the instance if they're using AMP

[ionic gale]

im using AMP to start the instance do we both need it?

[idle flower]

no just the host

[lofty latch]

Port forwarding.

[reef ivy]

i am trying to run server local but fails to start . nat detection failed .. is 2nd to last message but several other yellow and red...

[idle flower]

AMP runs the game in server mode

[lofty latch]

7777, 15000 and 15777

[full kraken]

i hate how it auto-allocates some ports

causes issues

[slim spoke]

it uses port range from #multiplayer-troubleshooting

[half shuttle]

i'm back with oddities. i can connect to the game from a pc on my lan, and the ports all show as listening on lan. on my router did a 1:1 port foward for all 3 ports, and using portchecker site, it says all 3 ports are still closed. now the issue: to test if i'm being blocked, i fowarded port 80 to the web interface on the same server, port 80 shows open, and i can connect to it from cellular network (not lan). delete rule, and port 80 is closed again.

[slim spoke]

not noted on dedi page

[idle flower]

is anyone able to connect to mine? ndboost.com:15777

[slim spoke]

not updated ... will try if someone doesnt

[foggy agate]

server appears to be offline

[half shuttle]

^seconded

[empty mountain]

Nope, can't connect

[idle flower]

Thank you

interesting, AMP says its running and the ports are forwarded

they're all UDP, right?

[slim spoke]

is the addy setup and active to ip

[candid onyx]

how are things running?

[idle flower]

the instance is bound to 0.0.0.0

[reef ivy]

why cant i even get the server to run / open let alone get to connecting to it ..

[slim spoke]

u got ipv6 on by chance?

[idle flower]

nope everything behind my router is ipv4

let me make sure its disabled in the interface

[slim spoke]

might have to get soemone u like to test the ip

[empty mountain]

thats fine, 0.0.0.0 just means any ip

[idle flower]

I know that, I might just throw this on one of my linux servers in the cloud.

[slim spoke]

game migh not like the addy it might need ip

[idle flower]

this AMP stuff is too much, lol

[slim spoke]

im not 100 on that part

[idle flower]

24.250.107.194 port 15777

[empty mountain]

i'm running it with 0.0.0.0 at i'm connected

[foggy agate]

you can use a domain name

not the problem here

[slim spoke]

that is to listen on all devices

lol

[foggy agate]

ip resolution works fine

[idle flower]

when someone connects, where do they spawn in at for the first time?

[slim spoke]

hub

[idle flower]

alright

[full kraken]

should be 157777, no?

as main port

[idle flower]

yes

i think thats the ADS management port

[slim spoke]

server name pending not authenticated

what i get for ur ip

[storm pewter]

Hi can someone help me? I'm trying to make a dedicated server but I'm really confused rn

[slim spoke]

pinned messages has link to step by step

[foggy agate]

tell us your problem, we will try to help

[slim spoke]

and also we are here

[storm pewter]

ok

So I'm using this video as a reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_mNOgyCn-k&t=229s

[idle flower]

I didnt change anything, i just picked satisfactory from the dropdown and gave it a name, lol

[storm pewter]

however at 3:50 in the video when I launch the .bat file it gives me an error that says this, "Could not bind to port '15777'. Server cannot continue initialization.

[foggy agate]

did you forward the port from your router to your machine (if you are running local)

[idle flower]

yes

hmm

[foggy agate]

windows or linux? might be the firewall blocking

[idle flower]

its windows, fw is turned off.

[slim spoke]

ya windows is annoying with the defender setting them up

[idle flower]

yup, lol

I can connect to it, hmm

[slim spoke]

means block from net / ports

local doesnt go out and in

[idle flower]

yeahh, I can access it using the 192x

[foggy agate]

from a quick port scan I can tell that the ports seem to be blocked by your router.

[slim spoke]

id assume defender poopped up a widow that was missed since i missed 1 doing setup cause i didnt expect it and i was changing windows

[idle flower]

https://tenor.com/view/ahh-jack-sparrow-freak-out-gif-10376230

sigh, like I said... maybe i'll spin this up on a linux VM I ahve in the cloud... theres a docker container now for it too.

[foggy agate]

he said its deactivated, so shouldn't be the problem

[charred cedar]

I played this game once with a friend to test it and then I paid it back. After a while our session went out of sync and we could no longer play together in any session. I was wondering if with dedicated servers that desynchronization would be corrected. As additional information, I cannot open ports because my ISP does not allow it. I have NAT TBD and so does my friend. We don't understand much about the subject and our native language is not English but I have a certificate in English and I can defend myself quite well.
We really want to be able to play Satisfactory, what little we played we really liked it and also the game has some concepts that I would like to study. If someone could give us a hand it would be great! 🐶

[idle flower]

easier than futzing around with pfSense and winblows

[mighty lynx]

my friend is trying to connect to my server and it just loops him connecting

[full kraken]

dedicated server would fix that, yes

and make sure your network is configured as "ultra" in game settings

[slim spoke]

nat tbd doesnt mean anything

that never worked right lol

it connects fine when it says strict and u cant play

[charred cedar]

I think the same but my friend is not sure !

[slim spoke]

#multiplayer-troubleshooting

[charred cedar]

Yes we did that!

[full kraken]

im saying it almost certainly will help, especailly if you get a cloud server in a central region between the 2 of you

find one near your region

[slim spoke]

host has to tell defender more tehn 1 time to allow and make sure router and such all will open ports

[idle flower]

is there a provider out yet for this?

[full kraken]

either buy a pre-made server from some hoster, or spin up an AWS/Azure/google cloud VM and deploy manually

[full kraken]

wdym?

[slim spoke]

provider? there is sites renting servers

[full kraken]

the docker container is probably as easy as itll get

[foggy agate]

yeah there are some out.

[idle flower]

docker seems easy as pie, I had it running locally

[reef ivy]

when you run factoryserver.exe does it open up satisfactory .. or does it just run - and then you open game and interact with the sever ?

[idle flower]

it runs in the background for me

[slim spoke]

ah those providers

[storm pewter]

Hi quick question, when I put ports into my firewall do I select UDP and create 3 different ports containing 15777, 15000, 777 in inbound and outbound?

[worldly bridge]

there is a floating giant object scanner in my world....

[slim spoke]

ports are udp

forward them to the ip of the server

[worldly bridge]

it has no collision though

[storm pewter]

how do I foward them to the ip of the server?

sorry I'm not very good at this lol

[foggy agate]

@worldly bridge dosn't belong here. Post it on the QA Site

[slim spoke]

router settings u goto port forwarding and set the 3 up

[mighty lynx]

network error when my friend tries to connect?

[slim spoke]

routers all diff so read the manual if needed

[storm pewter]

okay

so I need to foward all 3 ports to my router?

[worldly bridge]

i'm using a dedicated server, and rejoining the client removes the object

[slim spoke]

use the lan ip 192.168 blabla

[foggy agate]

not to your router, you to set that in the router interface and forward the ports to the server (PC)

[slim spoke]

open the link from pinned messages

google ur router port forwarding

[idle flower]

I think its the ordering of the ports on the AMP configs

[slim spoke]

follow the steps to send 3 ports to the ip for the server comp

[foggy agate]

or you could prob ask your ISP to help you. 🙂

[slim spoke]

ndboost try 15777 as primary

thats the connecting port to start

[candid onyx]

any dedicated servers open?

[slim spoke]

most arnt putting up public servers

[full kraken]

satisfactory.snowlab.tech

[candid onyx]

gotcha

[foggy agate]

#looking-for-group-old

[candid onyx]

woop

[reef ivy]

well i got further today .. be back tomorrow with more dumb questions 🙂

[foggy agate]

there are no dumb questions, we all started small and had people helping us. 🙂

[reef ivy]

i was about to ask whats my external ip .. but then i got gud and googled it 😄

[hexed plover]

hello i have our dedicated server online i'm playing on but my friend can join it some know what i miss?

[foggy agate]

prob forwarding the ports on your router, firewall blocking........

millions of problems 😄

[slim spoke]

local dosnt use the net to connnect so u could be on and its not setup right for ports

[storm pewter]

okay this might sound dumb, but where can I find the external port number and internal port number?

[hexed plover]

The friend is the house of the server

[foggy agate]

it should be the same. 🙂

[full kraken]

how can i find all 3 ports the server has auto-allocated

preferably without wireshark

[slim spoke]

give them internal ip then

not internet ip

[foggy agate]

Internal Port is the one on your pc and external how you want people to connect from outsite. 🙂

[fathom ore]

That won't work if their friend is not in the same house as where the server is hosted

[idle flower]

can someone try ndboost.com:15777 one more time?

[slim spoke]

ModoQc — Today at 8:50 PM
The friend is the house of the server

[foggy agate]

still offline 😄

[idle flower]

FML

[full kraken]

offline for me too

do yo uhave multiple servers running??

[reef ivy]

if the ports are open on your firewall and the router and you give someone your external ip .. it "should" work?

[fathom ore]

Apologies. I missed that!

[idle flower]

kk, linux & in the cloud time

[storm pewter]

so... I'm assuming that I have to put 15777 in external port?

[slim spoke]

np

[foggy agate]

yes

[foggy agate]

right

[storm pewter]

then how do I find my internal port?

[idle flower]

well, i'm using AMP, I start the 'satisfactory' ADS instance, then go into manage, and click start.

[foggy agate]

it should be the same. 🙂

[slim spoke]

ndboost same thing

[idle flower]

I'm able to connect to the game fine using 192.168.x

[storm pewter]

ohhh so I literally put 17555 in external and internal

[foggy agate]

yes

[full kraken]

is the AMP setup on your local network?

[slim spoke]

try telling it to use ip of ipv4 internet adapter

[full kraken]

did you port forward the ports to the 192.xx address on your router?

[storm pewter]

do I also need to do the same to 15000 and 7777?

[full kraken]

yes

[foggy agate]

yes

[storm pewter]

alright thanks

[reef ivy]

are their companies setting up satisfactory hosting . like i have minecraft one for my kids ?

[foggy agate]

yes

[full kraken]

invalid auth token?

[foggy agate]

every major service should have one up and running within minutes. 🙂

[full kraken]

tf

[small field]

My server is showing as "offline" in game, but yet it is online and running , and the game is not even trying to ping/check it??

[full kraken]

ports not allocated right

[foggy agate]

prob port issue 🙂

[full kraken]

15000, 7777, and 157777 forwarded/open?

[small field]

ports are open

[foggy agate]

also check firewall on the host. 🙂

[slim spoke]

and if u run other servers or ue games u should forward the port range for 7777

not just the 1 cause if that fails it uses port from the range that wont be forwarded

[small field]

already checked

[storm pewter]

so I added the ports to my router however when I try to launch the .bat for FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended it crashes the cmd and says this Could not bind to port '15777'. Server cannot continue initialization.

[soft lion]

you better place ranges of ports, because they can increment on occupied

[slim spoke]

that can be changed to diff port i do believe

and just adjust setup for it

[small field]

hmm it pings on the private Ip but not public hmmmm

[storm pewter]

so what should I do right now?

[foggy agate]

check if an instance is running allready. if the server can't bind on the port its prob, because there is something allocated to this port

[small field]

if something can't bind something else is already using that port

[foggy agate]

your router might not send the traffic back to you.

[full kraken]

how the fuck do i find out the auto allocated ports when i have more than 1 server

[small field]

i own dedicated servers

[storm pewter]

how do I check if an instance is running already?

[foggy agate]

windows or linux?

[full kraken]

linux

[soft lion]

use ranges the ports increase when occupied, only the 15777 you need to increment yourself

[slender idol]

netstat -a -udp

What’s that give you?

[full kraken]

i know that, but i need to manually allocate the ports to the docker containers

[small field]

the ports are already open

[quick mist]

netstat -plnu | grep UE4 will show you the association of ports and PIDs, each PID is one server instance

[soft lion]

your docker should detect that that port is reserved by another docker and pick the next one

[full kraken]

im using pterodactyl which has manual port allocation

[slender idol]

Yeah, great, but on what adapter?

Because if it’s “pinging” on the private IP, not that you can ICMP to a gameserver and get a meaningful response, then you’ve bound to that and not external.

[full kraken]

no netstat on ubuntu

[quick mist]

use ss rather than netstat then; same arguments

[slender idol]

Which you can fix with the -multihome=<ip>

[soft lion]

no the ports don't respond, tested that out

[full kraken]

i can connect to the server, then i get invalid auth token

[small field]

the server is running in docker

[slender idol]

They’re UDP ports btw not TCP

That screenshot says TCP

[small field]

yes i know

[slender idol]

Do yourself a favour and set the ports via commandline instead of letting it do it for you.

[hexed plover]

We try all ip int ext with all port

[slender idol]

Letting it do it for you is asking for a doubled up port or two

[hexed plover]

if i friend want to join he take port 7777 to play

[full kraken]

i cant - read the wiki

[empty mountain]

i'm getting a server name now! 🙂

[full kraken]

it auto increments 7777 and 15000

[slender idol]

15777 not 7777

[full kraken]

wait whos the guy with ndboost

it seems to be working

[slim spoke]

game uses a range not just 7777

[hexed plover]

when i add the server it say offline but im on the server

[slim spoke]

open/forwarding ports 7777-7827 UDP (firewall and on router)

multiplayer troubleshooting from the devs

[full kraken]

it shows up in the list

[slender idol]

You join via query port not game port

[full kraken]

the ports are open

this isnt a port issue

im getting invalid auth token

for some reason

[soft lion]

try to update, i had troubles when not updating it

[full kraken]

its updated

[storm pewter]

Hi is there another way to make a dedicated server instead of having it launch in your files?

[slender idol]

Have you tried?

I know it says you can’t

But have you tried it.

[full kraken]

both query port and beacon port have been set manually and opened properly

[slender idol]

Just purely out of curiosity

[balmy pier]

any1 willing to join my satisfactory server to test if i have set all the ports correctly

[full kraken]

its not a port issue

[slender idol]

Well no auth is a password issue

[slim spoke]

ill test connect if u need

not playing cause its just satisfactory

[full kraken]

invalid auth, not no auth

i think its trying to connect to my other server

same pc

[empty mountain]

it times out while trying to connect for me

[slim spoke]

@idle flower i see ur server in list

should be the ndboost addy

[mighty lynx]

anyone else have the current objective disappear?

[full kraken]

ye

[mighty lynx]

weird...

[full kraken]

why is my server trying to use 7777 when another server is already using it

smh....

wait

startup command might be using the old -GamePort paramenter instead of -Port

[hexed plover]

guy what is you startup command look like?

[slim spoke]

it starts on 7777 then goes up the range i said before

port u set is 15777

the connection starting port

[full kraken]

i know, i mean the server startup command was using the old -GamePort parameter, so it defaulted to 7777

[slim spoke]

thats first port the server code tries in the range

[full kraken]

i know that

[slim spoke]

kind of a ue thing

[full kraken]

ye

[slim spoke]

well u asked why is it using lo

[full kraken]

wahoo i fixed it

[slim spoke]

congrats

[full kraken]

no its because i was manually setting it to 15889 in the command

but it wasnt working

[slim spoke]

15777 is the port u change

its just for starting connection

not 7777

[half shuttle]

welp, found my problem... the online port scanners were looking not scanning for UDP ports, but instead TCP. when i switched to a UDP specific scanner, it showed the ports were open...

right tools test the wrong problem

[lusty walrus]

I made a tool called PowershellGSM to Install, Backup, Update and Start Satisfactory dedicated servers on Windows using Powershell.

It is faster than the other available tools, It creates lighter and more targeted backups and lighter shared game servers installation.

You can download it from Github here : https://github.com/patrix87/PowerShellGSM

(It also supports a lot of other game servers)

[mighty lynx]

uh power storage not storing power?

[slim spoke]

it should try asking in room for ea or exp

[fleet yoke]

For those of you who got dedicated servers running, how powerful of a CPU does it require? Is it similar to the base game, or could you get away with a weaker CPU?

[full kraken]

fairly powerful id say

[slim spoke]

around min cpu at least

slower u go worse server just acts

[mighty lynx]

matters more with a big factory..

[fleet yoke]

OK, guess I'll skip trying it on my raspberry pi lol

[full kraken]

yeah bad idea

[empty mountain]

@idle flower

[full kraken]

needs 6gb ram minimum too

[full kraken]

forward port 15778

[slim spoke]

can only do on pi4 with min 4gb and using emulation so u want 8

[fleet yoke]

Mine has 8gb RAM, but the CPU does about 150 on cinebench r20

[mighty lynx]

you need to port forward 15000-16000 and 7777-7900. this worked for that error msg

[fleet yoke]

It did an astroneer server OK in the past (although lagged heavily with multiple players)

[slim spoke]

lol 7777-7827

[foggy agate]

more like 4.5 gigs in the first stages of the game

[mighty lynx]

lol who gives a fuck if it works

[fleet yoke]

Maybe the Raspberry Pi 5 will be powerful enough to do it

[slim spoke]

people who like security not just opening the net up and hoping the best

[foggy agate]

prob not until steamcmd is ported to arm cpus....

[slim spoke]

if u just slap ranges like that u might as well upnp

[fleet yoke]

[mighty lynx]

first of all doesnt mean they are open, just means the computer will get that traffic

[opal gulch]

I'm poking around but how do you set the server to run the game when no players are online?

[small field]

got kicked/disconnected from my server,(time outed i think) rejoined and it reset my player..........

[slim spoke]

setting in server manager ... dont tell it to pause

means u got assigned new character cause it cant find ur eos info

[small field]

iv restarted both the game and server...

it reset my player

went back to the last location and i dont see my player anywhere

[slim spoke]

if u killed server it might not have saved it

did u wait for autosave or use save cmd

[small field]

restore from back fixed the issue

[fervent wharf]

I know its not supported, but, is there a way to change the amount of players for a dedicated server like the regular MP yet?

[weak island]

is there a way to ping my computer thats running my network to see if the port is open

[slim spoke]

use a port scanning site and tell it udp ports

[errant vessel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/qgahno/state_of_dedicated_servers_in_satisfactory_update/ This guy got his server to 50 apparently

[slim spoke]

ya but u cant play the game

its the same as the record setting attempt for connections.. just shows the game isnt good enough to hold the 128 the engine supports

[sturdy slate]

my servers showing up as offline for a friend for some reason

[slim spoke]

make sure 3 ports are opened

u might need to forward more ports for hte 7777 depending onwhat u run

that tries the port and if fails it goes upto 7827

it goes 7778 7779 ......

[fervent wharf]

@errant vessel unfortauntely, I am on linux, and that folder structure isnt the same from what I can tell.

[slim spoke]

wish they would make it so when u goto add server it doesnt hide the ip by default

[errant vessel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/qgahno/comment/hi4vswj/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 more referring to this guys comment thread

really its just proof that it can be done, don't see where he shares HOW to do it

[fervent wharf]

I asked him how he did it lol

[errant vessel]

~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/ this looks like where the game files will be, maybe the ini is in there and its plaintext

if you get lucky it will just be like maxplayers=4

[slim spoke]

u can change max players on dedi

[errant vessel]

yeah theres other folks claiming theyve done it but not sure how on our server

[fervent wharf]

@slim spoke Do you know how?

[slim spoke]

#dedicated-servers message

its just not been added to wiki yet

[west plinth]

Do the servers auto save at all?

[slim spoke]

yes

[west plinth]

how often?

[slim spoke]

prob default 5 mins

[west plinth]

cool, ty

[soft lion]

when someone leaves too

and every 5 min it seems

[full kraken]

lots of bugs so far

dissapearing entities, textures not loading in full res, stuttering, rubberbanding

rip

[slim spoke]

ur comp might not be fast enough or something

[full kraken]

i doubt it

its a dual processor dell R730 with 128gb ram

[slim spoke]

i was just on someones server it was smooth

[full kraken]

8vcpu and 8gb ram allocated to the server

desktop is r5 3600 and 2080s

its smooth, yeah, but ill randomly get stuttering or teleport a bit

or if i move quickly somewhere textures wont load

i notice it most on my big save

[slim spoke]

thats from syncing

[full kraken]

90+hrs

with lots of stuff

[slim spoke]

if ur on same comp as host and its doing that then its not keeping up

[full kraken]

seperate PCs

[slim spoke]

use lan ip not net

still means net side might not be up to it

[full kraken]

i am

ping is 0ms

[slim spoke]

ok so it should keep up if host comp is enough

not client

try network quality setting also

if thats not max its slowing things down

[candid onyx]

whats your network quality set at at the host comp?

[full kraken]

the host comp doesnt give me a setting for it

the server?

the client is on ultra

[candid onyx]

gotcha

[full kraken]

i manually increased the network bandwidth in the .ini files to the max

[candid onyx]

isee

hm

[full kraken]

i think its just bugs with it currently

and the big save file

[candid onyx]

might just be a version conflict too

[full kraken]

nah its not

it gives u errors if theres a mismatch

[candid onyx]

wrong wording

a leftover issue

[full kraken]

ah yeah maybe

i think my new world is a bit faster

[candid onyx]

in it rn and its fine

[slim spoke]

turn off all ur sinks

lol

[full kraken]

i onky have 1 and its not currently processing anything

[slim spoke]

those are just endless work loops wasting cpu

[faint wagon]

any console commands yet?

[slim spoke]

wiki has the few there are

basically exit and save game

they are fixing to stable and good before going nuts adding things

[compact frost]

I just woke up and restarted the server, after it updated objectives no longer display on the client

[velvet bough]

only the best true and false - ture and flase lolol

[slim spoke]

hahaha

[ancient kernel]

where is the config file for server by default? it did not show up in the location described in the wiki for me. steam install btw

[slender idol]

Blooean values I see

[slender idol]

There’s no true “config file” as most of it is setup via you jumping into the game and setting it up that way.

The .ini files are within the FactoryGame/ somewhere in the root of the install

If that’s what you’re looking for

[ancient kernel]

im trying to increase max number of players for server

[slender idol]

Yeah that’ll be the game.ini

[slim spoke]

not all the inis are in the server .. some u have make the file and fill with proper stuff

search how to increase player limit

[gentle thorn]

Server configuration seems to persist to ~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame

[slim spoke]

think that finds post

[slender idol]

FactoryGame/Saved/Config/<OS>/ is where the ini files should be

But I can assure you with a default install via steamcmd those files are there

Looking for Game.ini

Have to add

[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=X

Where X is the number of players

[faint wagon]

FactoryGame is ambiguous...there's two folders with that name....

/home/user/.config/Epic/FactoryGame
/home/user/.steam/steamcmd/SatsifactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryGame

[quick mist]

The saves are under ~/.config; the server and configuration are (ironically) in the FactoryGame directory found at the installation directory

[faint wagon]

Correct, just really easy to confuse the two for someone who's looking for files and doesn't know where they are...and someone says "they're in FactoryGame"

[remote jewel]

When I try to connect from an external ip I just get Offline Server name pending server added

[velvet bough]

Heheheheheheh, as long as it works!

[vagrant turtle]

Can the same server instance host multiple maps, or does it need to be multiple instances, one per map?

[slim spoke]

multiple servers

[vagrant turtle]

ok, kinda thought so... (increment in ports etc.. heh)

[slim spoke]

yup yup

now i assumed u mean at the sametime

not just loading diff saves

[vagrant turtle]

yes

[slim spoke]

k

[vagrant turtle]

I have one save at final of U4, and even though the factory itself is a CF inside, it sent the final item in the elevator for U4. hehe been waiting 🙂 but we started another one while waiting for the drop, and that is the current on our base server hehe

[quick mist]

A single server can host several maps, or saved games, but can only actually run one at a time

[vagrant turtle]

Thanks. 🙂

[vagrant turtle]

and restoring a U4 save on U5, did bring the explored map portions back. 🙂 I just have a tiny little bit of rebuilding to do... map vs rebuild...... heheh

[long sable]

I'm so happy with how the log monitor I setup is working, works great for showing which CL version is supported when it is restarted to update.

[velvet abyss]

that's cool

are you sharing that yet?

[long sable]

Not yet, need to do some refactoring of the code before I'd share it

It also is working off Pterodactyl's API, and isn't configured in any way to read the log file outright, so unless you are using Pterodactyl, it's not very useful at the moment.

[velvet abyss]

ah, yeah not helpful for me then

neat idea though

[strange shuttle]

Anyone else have the game crash whenever they try to load into their dedicated server? Restarted the game client 5 or 6 times and always crashes just when I load in.

[vagrant spoke]

Does anyone know if there is a console command to see what version of the game you're running on a server

Im just trying to figure out if a server I have up properly updated

[merry bolt]

you can look at server's output log to find it, or you can ask the query port if you know how to code a simple udp client

[vagrant spoke]

Thanks, literally just tried setting it up yesterday, guess I can try to ftp the logs from the server

ok that worked cool

[merry bolt]

The game client will also tell you if the server version doesn't match the client version, though it won't tell you the actual version number from the server

[waxen crescent]

can i start server even if i have game on epic games ?

[fluid turret]

yes

look in the pinned messages go to the wiki link

[waxen crescent]

i tried but if i double click factoryserver nothing happens

[fluid turret]

you dont double click it you have to run it with some arguements to see that its actually working

[waxen crescent]

yes, that's my question where and how would i add that arguments?

[fluid turret]

run cmd in the folder where you have FactoryServer.exe then put in this command
FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended

You know how to run a command in cmd at a specific folder location?

[crude tapir]

So I have a hosted server, and it's working great, except I can't get it to switch off of Prviate to Friends Only, to allow me to invite anyone.

[waxen crescent]

hahahah no

[fluid turret]

That setting does not matter, they connect via IP

[crude tapir]

Saying Invalid Token

[fluid turret]

If your server is on your main machine its your public IP

screenshot please hex

[crude tapir]

It's hosted on a service

[sand galleon]

What egg you using?

[indigo cape]

So, is the train not unloading issue a dedicated server only thing or is it all trains?

[fluid turret]

@waxen crescent find the folder path for FactoryServer.exe
It would be something like this "C:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer"
Then in Command Prompt(CMD) do this
cd C:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer
Replace with your path
then run the initial command I said, FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended

[onyx arrow]

Hi guys, are there already hosting providers jumping in on the dedicated expirimental, or not yet?

[fluid turret]

not that I am aware of but they are working on it

[indigo cape]

@crude tapir you shouldn't have to care about that give them your IP and the pass word you set for the game and it'll let them in I have mine on private and with the password they can still play

[vagrant spoke]

Survival servers offers a satisfactory ready server

[fluid turret]

Which service and have you opened the right ports and firewall settings?

[indigo cape]

some do offer just renting a server period and you can run whatever you want from it

[crude tapir]

Sil, are they just going to Server Manager in the menu as well, and punching in the IP, correct? Or are they joining from inside the client via the console commands?

[indigo cape]

I'm not sil but on mine they just use the server thing and join

[fluid turret]

Honestly just buy a VPS and use linuxGSM its 2 commands to get the server installed, all dependencies and running. Most hosting providers wont give support for experimental software

[fluid turret]

Server Manager > Add Server > Punching in IP yes

[crude tapir]

Yes, multiple, but we've been asked not to advertise here.

[fluid turret]

All users who wish to connect admin or not use server manager

[onyx arrow]

Check, thanks. I'll consult Google 😄

[indigo cape]

So back to my question about trains, is it a dedicated server issue or a everything issue of them not being able to unload?

[fluid turret]

@crude tapir DM me the answer to these questions
Which hosting provider
Have you opened the right ports
Have you allowed the ports to pass your firewall

[indigo cape]

I've tried adding the unload to the train itself I've tried just adding the locations I've tried setting both the unload and the load on the train.. but can't seem to get it to unload at all

[fluid turret]

Trains in general are very buggy on U5 cause of the changes to collision and such.

[indigo cape]

OK I'll just hope for an update then

I was so annoyed I just put a new train on the track and rammed the other one and left them at the bottom of the ravine

mildly satisfactory 🙂

[crude tapir]

Ok, we got it worked out! He was entering the wrong port

[fluid turret]

nice

[vagrant spoke]

Are you sure if its listed in there. Im having trouble finding it in the output log

trying to control f 5.0. and version, so far its not there

[merry bolt]

The line looks like this

LogInit: Net CL: 170618

[vagrant spoke]

thank you I was looking for the wrong words

got it

[rugged void]

i have a problem with my server atm.. i was configurating my server settings when my client side crashed while i was putting in the Admin password.. and now i cant Authenticate cause the password is not correct i have tried deleting the server and reinstalling it but it still has the same server name and information stuck to it i have been trying to find the files in question but im at a loss.. anyhelp would be great..

i have been trying to find maybe a server config file with the password in it but i haven't found anything yet.

[fluid turret]

yeah no there is no passwords stored in plain text

[vagrant turtle]

windows or linux?

[rugged void]

Windows

[fluid turret]

you can install the server tool again but a different path to get a fresh version

[merry bolt]

On Windows, the server settings are in a file in %localappdata%/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames

[fluid turret]

then delete the old server files

[vagrant turtle]

ok, I'll step out .. nfi where windows stores them

[fluid turret]

not going to help him much

[rugged void]

ill try to delete that folder and relaunch server see if it makes me redo the configuration..

[vagrant turtle]

GL

[merry bolt]

All of your save games are in that folder too if you play on that pc, so be careful about deleting the whole folder

[rugged void]

no its a seperate machine

i use for server only stuff

[fluid turret]

wot

oh ok, well back up the save files from the server anyways

[rugged void]

i dont have any lol i never got to make a game because i cant make one.. because of that password issue lol..

[sharp spruce]

maaan I got so much FPS back on my f'ed up save
local 20
server 50

[slim spoke]

nice

[gentle prawn]

So guys, how are the servers?

[slim spoke]

chroot is it on same comp still? the server

[stray vale]

Hello I am French and I am wondering how to find the update versions for the servers if anyone can help me thank you

[fluid turret]

They almost eat as much ram as chrome
