the install directory if you are forcing it cannot be in the same place you've installed SteamCMD. make a new directory and force_install_dir to that location

balmy glacier
#

thought he was talking about getting a server running.
you got a link to the github?

scarlet rose
#

Oh haha sorry

#

Yes i do

#

one for the read me the other is for the download

bleak salmon
# quick mist yep

when i installed it to a new folder it just installed a folder named steamapps

#

nothing else

vagrant dirge
#

Also, is anyone else having any issues with having their inventory reset every time they log in?

#

I figured out my save issue. -_- This was activated, had to turn it off.

Hey I'm struggling to load a saved game on my server (on linux) can someone help me

#

PS I've got my save file on the server

balmy glacier

#

Where do I need to put the save file ^^

balmy glacier
#

has the steps and have a look at the photos

frosty gale
#

yo

#

it says to me that the server is outdated

#

but i updated it

royal halo
#

@balmy glacier I wasn't looking in the good directory ^^

balmy glacier
# frosty gale but i updated it

Check FactoryGame/Saved/Logs/FactoryGame.log
to see if server has updated.
Look for line
LogInit: Build: ++FactoryGame+main-CL-170636
around line 141

that might work

frosty gale
#

thanks

balmy glacier
#

I've seen it take time for the steam server to push the update worldwide like 30-1hr some places

frosty gale
#

Jeah

#

Just a question if i change the default port from the dedicated server will it be possible to make a second server ?

bleak salmon
#

where do i put the save file?

quick mist
#

yes, you can run multiple instances concurrently; they will select incrementing ports when they cannot bind to the default ports

#

@bleak salmon see the wiki in the pins

yeah i saw but im confused about it

What's the latest server build supposed to be? My Game's up to date, i've ran app_update 1690800 validate which completed successfully but the server menu is still telling me "The Server and Game versions are not compatible"

quick mist

There was an update a little while ago. Did you update your client as well?

Yep, just updated both about 5 mins ago

has any one got dedicated server from nitrado for epic games side?

Windows: steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\steamcmd\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800
Linux: steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir /home/youruser/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800

whole nacelle
#

are you sure you're talking about steam cmd ?

#

yeah no

#

did that 5 times

#

with validate

balmy glacier
#

might have to run uninstall
steamcmd +login anonymous +app_uninstall 1690800
and then reinstall

Ok gonna try that

Hi , can i load a save on my dedicated server ?! is it possible ?!

balmy glacier

Thanks ❤️

i finally opened the ports and the previous error with steamapi disappeared but i am now getting the NAT error and i cant connect to the server

# full kraken whats wrong?

I'm getting what I am calling ghost entities, I'll place a conveyor and it will not physically be there but it will still work as intended, just can't remove the conveyor or do anything with it.

I'm just trying to figure out if this is a known bug or if it's dedicated server related directly.

reef cedar
balmy glacier
oblique saddle
vocal jungle
#

so if you run this steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +app_update 1690800 validate +quit and cant find your files

#

look for "drive letter":\steamcmd~\satisfactorydedicatedserver\FactoryGame

balmy glacier
#

I don't really know how Nitrado DED server work.
they giving you a default port for the game

oblique saddle
clever anvil
#

There are three ports for the game - "Game", "Query", and "beacon" - you need to enter the Query port into the dedicated server browser in the game client.

full kraken
#

its a bug

#

either with the server or game

#

but not user error

balmy glacier
#

The NAT error normal and you can ignore

grizzled bobcat
#

thxx

clever anvil
#

I have a question for the more knowledgeable crew - When Dedicated Servers are released for Early Access - is the Steam APP ID going to be different, or is there going to be a beta branch to differentiate the two?

reef cedar
#

something must be preventing the server from going online

#

and it does not seems to be the ports

balmy glacier

When I joined a server I was unable to move, then my Xeno zapper disappeared and I couldn't reequip it, then my game crashed

# full kraken same here

Thank you, I know I've asked a few times but I've just been racking my brain trying to figure out if it's just a "me" issue or if it's multiple people, because I'm using AMP to run my server and wasn't sure if it was an AMP issue or experimental being, well, experimental.

is there any way to host a server if im on epic?

reef cedar

the i must be doing something wrong

quick mist

Currently the server is only available from Steam but epic clients can connect to it just fine

they're working to get the server up on EGS

Anyone have any open slots I can join?

reef cedar
#

i have used the ip that appears when you search what is my ip

bronze burrow
reef cedar
#

local

#

but i want others to connect

balmy glacier
#

if its on the same computer then use localhost as ip
if its on the same network then use the private ip of that computer ex:192.168.x.x

reef cedar
#

and if its outside...

balmy glacier
#

for other they will connect with public ip

#

which you can find out by googling whats my ip

reef cedar
#

i think that is the ip i used to open the ports and in he game to connect

#

and it does not works

burnt blaze
#

I created a batch file for easy updating. This is on Windows. Obv replace with your appropriate directories. Put in text file and save as .bat in your SteamCMD dir

set STEAM_CMD_LOCATION="C:\SteamCMD"
set STEAM_USERNAME="anonymous"
start "" steamcmd.exe +login "%STEAM_USERNAME%" +force_install_dir c:\satisfactoryserver +app_update 1690800 validate +quit"'```
bronze burrow
reef cedar
#

yes

#

the three ports with the public ip

wraith bridge
#

have you went into your firewall and allowed the ports?

reef cedar
#

i can connect locally but not with the public ip

wraith bridge
#

you'll port forward the ports needed to your local IP address and open the ports on your firewall to allow them to be accessed externally

reef cedar
balmy glacier
#

wont work

burnt blaze
wraith bridge
#

Open "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security" and go to inbound rules, on the right press "New Rule..." choose Port and add in each one as both TCP and UDP which should be an option.

Also as BobTheWobbly said, that's the quickest way to verify it's not your firewall, also as Bob said remember to re-enable it after otherwise you're opening yourself up to a bad day.

quick mist
wraith bridge
#

ah, I was just going off of what AMP had predefined for ports, my apologies!

quick mist
#

Why refer to third-party documentation when it's documented on the official Wiki?

#

see the pins

fleet cliff
#

is steam cmd the only way to host a server?

quick mist
#

SteamCMD or Steam -> Tools currently. coming soon to EGS and official Docker containers

balmy glacier
wraith bridge
#

Good point Dope, I'm not always the wisest man on earth.

bronze burrow
quick mist

which in turn use SteamCMD

fleet cliff
quick mist
#

no

fleet cliff

i dont see it in tools though

balmy glacier
fleet cliff
#

ok

fleet cliff
balmy glacier
#

should be idk, I know there was a known issue before

fleet cliff

it it titled "Satisfactory Dedicated Server" of something else?

fleet cliff
#

you might have to own it then 😦

#

i only have it on epic

balmy glacier
#

oh yes you need to own it to see in tools

#

will have to use steamcmd way

jaunty robin
#

soo where can i get the serve addres

#

and where is the config file

#

i cant find it

slow elbow
#

@jaunty robin it's your ip address

balmy glacier
#

local ip or public ip?

slow elbow
#

depends who want to join
if it's a friend => public ip
if it's your brother next room => local ip
if the server is on your computer try localhost

jaunty robin

is this how am gonna do it ?

Does anyone have problems with people joining the server?
I mean i can join but my friend floats somewhere in the sky and get kicked after 60 seconds
after that he cannot join (timeout error if he tries) until I restart the server
Any idea how to troubleshoot?
And is it possible to get a Docker image rn?

@reef cedar Can you open command prompt (type cmd in the start menu), and run ipconfig. Screenshot your local IP. Then screenshot your port forwards from your equipment config and post both here?

EDIT: Make sure to edit out any identifying info, like your public IP.

oke ty

friend cant join my nitrado server any reasons why.?

ask Nitrado

now how can i save and stop the server

what is the ip that i need to send to my friend so that he can join

is it the defoult gatway

there's another command to save on demand documented in the Wiki, check the pins

made a Nitrado server and HIGHLY recommend it, took 2 minutes to set up! ask for link if you want

reef cedar
#

the server must have 6 GB ram

Feels like the easiest way to tell them all the bugs is to say "every bug you have ever fixed... is back"

i goes well on nitrado?

torpid sand

i loaded my save file and started the server in 2 min flat

whole nacelle
quick mist
jaunty robin
#

soo

#

i created the server using my ip

#

how do i reset a server to the unconfigured state

quick mist
#

delete the directory and re-run steamcmd

whole nacelle

but it was a different bind

balmy glacier
whole nacelle
quick mist
#

Task Mangler

whole nacelle
#

Or can I just close the port then reopen it ?

jaunty robin
#

and i need to use the ip addres that i get from google

quick mist
#

'open and closed' ports are different from 'bound and unbound' ports

reef cedar
quick mist
#

the logs saying "Could not bind to port -- already in use" means another process "owns" or is "bound to" that port

#

only one program can listen (i. e. bind) to a port at any one time

whole nacelle
#

And how can I check for bound ports on task manager

quick mist
#

if you already have the server running it should show up in TM for you to 'End Process'

whole nacelle
#

never mind I removed all satisfactory instances and it worked

#

Thx a lot guys !!!

quick mist
#

otherwise you can get Process Explorer (a free tool from Microsoft) and ask it "what process is bound to UDP/15777?"

Hello, I try to launch the server but i got this : Warning: failed to init SDL thread priority manager: SDL not found, is there anything to do ?

quick mist
#

nope, you can ignore that

burnt blaze
# reef cedar

Those have to point to a local IP (your servers). Posting a local IP is safe. Can you post that part?

reef cedar
#

aaaa i used my public in there

#

thats why i had not posted the following ip

I'm experimenting with dedicated server and have a Windows install running. I'm going to try a Linux install now, any suggestions for a Linux flavor? Leaning towards Mint or Ubuntu server.

quick mist
#

I like Ubuntu Server, but pretty much any distro is fine. use what you're used to or prefer

vagrant turtle
#

I hope they fix the rebar gun crash issue soon.. .can't go out exploring too easy when the server crashes when shooting the gun

mortal hazel
burnt blaze
# reef cedar aaaa i used my public in there

That would do it, haha. So when traffic comes in, it specifies a port. Your router will direct that traffic where it needs to go within your local network, in this case whatever IP you specify, ie your server.

reef cedar
#

aaaa

#

i will try it right away thax ^^

jaunty robin
#

soo

#

if i use my online ip it says that the server is offline

burnt blaze
jaunty robin
#

but if i use my local ip

jaunty robin
#

how do i do that

quick mist
#

Lots of consumer grade routers don't play well with traffic that goes out and loops back to the external IP

#

for your case just use the internal IP; for your friends who are elsewhere, give them the public IP

jaunty robin
#

well

balmy glacier
jaunty robin
#

i gave them the public ip but the server is offline for them

quick mist
#

then double check the port forwarding is correct

jaunty robin
#

well

#

how

burnt blaze
# jaunty robin but if i use my local ip

Local IP is accessible from within your local network (ie your house or whatever). Your public IP is accessible from outside your network, but you need to forward ports within your router for it to work.

quick mist
#

consult your router's manual

turbid ridge
#

I'm ur router

#

Check portforwading web

jaunty robin
#

its more complicated that that. i dont have one router

#

its mulpiple

burnt blaze
# jaunty robin how

Depends on your router. You'll need to look into it, but it's not overly difficul. Start by logging into your router by putting your gateway's IP into a browser address bar

jaunty robin
#

well

#

i dont know whythc

turbid ridge
#

portforward(dot)com

mortal hazel
#

How do i portforward on debian ?

burnt blaze
turbid ridge
drifting badge
jaunty robin
quick mist
#

@jaunty robin if you are behind multiple routers, that's fine (though strange)- but you may need to then forward from your outermost one to the next-inner one and so on until you can forward to your host running the server

mortal hazel
balmy glacier
turbid ridge
#

Maybe he is talking about open the firewall?

#

@mortal hazel Are you talking about opening the firewall?

jaunty robin
quick mist
#

you may simply need to open the ports, and that depends on what you're managing the host's firewall with (e. g. iptables; ufw; shorewall, etc.)

mortal hazel
#

Don't known, so i have a vps running on Debian, hosting satisfactory server, and when i put the adress IP in to client satisfactory, it say notAuthenticated, so i assume i mess up my port

turbid ridge
#

Umm manye

#

How did u set up?

burnt blaze
turbid ridge
#

Which guide did you follow or which docker container did u use?

mortal hazel
balmy glacier
#

Which vps are you using?

mortal hazel
#

I use linux game server service

#

Just debian, no docker or anything

jaunty robin
drifting badge
#

Nah, you just need to make sure your forwarding all three ports the wiki asks for.

jaunty robin
#

k

turbid ridge
#

@mortal hazel

balmy glacier
turbid ridge
#

He said a virtual private server

drifting badge
#

I don't know if it's just me but If I stand around the hub for a couple minutes it starts sporadically playing the harvest artefacts dialogues.

turbid ridge
#

I assumed he paid some hosting and isn't locla

balmy glacier
turbid ridge
mortal hazel
#

I payed a hoster, to get a virtual private server on debian, so my friend can play with me, with quality server

#

And have no docker

turbid ridge
#

Install docker

#

0 errors 1 command

#

It will open ur ports in the firewall too

#

Unless you have experience and want to manually install

mortal hazel
#

Ok very strange, so now my console is getting spam by this :

turbid ridge
#

Umm

balmy glacier
#

or use linuxgsm( which you might be using)

turbid ridge
#

Which command did u use to start the game?

mortal hazel
turbid ridge
#

Maybe you are using an old version

#

The did a hot fix

mortal hazel
turbid ridge
#

To change from GamePort to Port

#

🧐 don't know them

#

U should start the game with sfserver start

#

Not from the sh

mortal hazel
#

Yes i tried the two options

#

Neither of it worked

turbid ridge
#

Do this

balmy glacier
turbid ridge
#

They change one argument to the start command

#

I had that problem

#

Go to this folder

#

Wait a sec

balmy glacier
#

/home/user/lgsm/config-lgsm/sfserver?

turbid ridge
#

lgsm/lgsm-config/sfserver/common.cfg

#

And change line 10

#

To this: startparameters="FactoryGame -ServerQueryPort=${queryport} -BeaconPort=${beaconport} -Port=${port} -log -unattended"

mortal hazel
#

Uh, there is nothing in the common.cfg :

##################################
######## Common Settings #########
##################################
# PLACE GLOBAL SETTINGS HERE
## These settings will apply to all instances.
turbid ridge
#

Paste that

#

What I have paste

#

And will fix it

mortal hazel
#

Ok

turbid ridge
#

I had same problem it's because of latest Satisfactory update

quick mist
#

<@&387163995947270144> Could we possibly get an open thread or two created in this channel for troublesooting network or server manager issues to keep them separate from troubleshooting and talking about the Satisfactory server itself?

turbid ridge
#

Here is an example

reef cedar
burnt blaze
mortal hazel
turbid ridge
#

How did u launch it?

mortal hazel
#

./sfserver start

turbid ridge
#

With ./sfserver start

#

Umm

#

Don't know then

#

I suggest you to use docker @mortal hazel

reef cedar
turbid ridge
#

And use the image I sent link

balmy glacier
#

A work around is to open port 7778 UDP also. to the GamePort issue

turbid ridge
#

@mortal hazel didn't the file change works?

mortal hazel
#

no the game doesn't found my server

#

But i try to install docker

turbid ridge
reef cedar
#

so its useless for the ones using the dedicated server downloaded from steam right?

balmy glacier
#

When it launched it used gameport=7777
then they changed it to port=7777
if you use gameport it adds 1(7777+1=7778)

mortal hazel
turbid ridge
#

Check this link @mortal hazel

mortal hazel
#

so i just run the command run ?

turbid ridge
#

docker run -d ....

#

And change the -v to your something in ur server

mortal hazel
#

docker: Error response from daemon: create ./ServerFiles: "./ServerFiles" includes invalid characters for a local volume name, only "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]" are allowed. If you intended to pass a host directory, use absolute path.
See 'docker run --help'.

turbid ridge
#

Because you need to change ./ServerFiles

#

Yo something like:

/home/USERNAME/ServerFiles

#

Wait I will create you a custom command

#

One sec

mortal hazel
#

Oh okay

#

How many time ago the sentence was a thing ?

#

how can i remove the previous sfserver i've created ?

turbid ridge
#

docker container rm sfserver

#

docker stop sfserver

#

Check it @mortal hazel

mortal hazel
#

and after that ? (docker run -d )

mortal hazel
#

Yes but after this

polar quartz
#

Where is the password stored?

turbid ridge
#

Try to connect to your server

polar quartz
#

Or how can I restore it if I lost it

mortal hazel
foggy agate
turbid ridge
#

Maybe it's still installing @mortal hazel

polar quartz
#

🥲

foggy agate
#

its stored in a binary

turbid ridge
#

Use this

mortal hazel
turbid ridge
#

docker logs sfserver

mortal hazel
#

docker log sfserver
docker: 'log' is not a docker command

#

🤔

foggy agate
#

you can delete the .config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/ config file in there and restart the server, then you should be promoted to set a new password

foggy agate
turbid ridge
mortal hazel
#

Error: No such container: sfserver

#

wut

foggy agate
#

check with docker ps

mortal hazel
#

Also no files has been created in my home folder

foggy agate
#

just use docker ps to see if the container is up and running

turbid ridge
#

There are in /sfserver

brittle wedge
#

My friend still cannot connect to my server. He is distant, in uk. I am in west usa. Gets timeout error, Our ping is about 150ms

turbid ridge
foggy agate
#

check the port forwarding on your router and the firewall settings.

brittle wedge
#

ok will check again, but i could connect from my other pc, using a vpn on a external vpn server

foggy agate
#

you have to use the external ip of your router/isp

brittle wedge
#

yes i did

foggy agate
#

and also hope you don't use something like DSLite or DualStack.

brittle wedge
#

nope

mortal pasture
#

where can i rent a server for Satisfactory so that when i do get paid next i can get one lol

turbid ridge
#

Maybe 4netplayers?

fluid turret
mortal pasture
#

gotcha lol

brittle wedge
#

they were talking about gportal yesterday

solid forge
#

zap hosting will have a gameserver in the next couplke of days that works

mortal pasture
#

alright so i will wait for official gportal or zap then

fluid turret
#

not really cheap

#

You can get a dedicated server with 12GB of ram which could hold 30 or so players by my estimates for the same price as gportal's offerings, I guess it comes down to ease but honestly linuxGSM is 2 commands and your running.

turbid ridge
#

Yep and if u know Docker 1 hahaha

fluid turret
#

I personally wouldn't get a dedi server from a company like gportal before there are actually features to manage

foggy agate
#

we aggreed on not to promote any service provider here. So please stop that.

fluid turret
#

I am giving reasons not to go with a service lol

#

but ok

turbid ridge
#

😂

foggy agate
#

dosn't really matter, that names are enought. Everyone can google and prob find a service that is right for there usecase.

fluid turret
#

Like ffs that service(Which I shall not name) is offering 1000 player slots when thats literally impossible for satisfactory

foggy agate
#

as I mentioned, thats up to everyone themselves.

Guys where are saves saved on linux dedi server?

fluid turret
#

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

tranquil yew

i am not running satistactory in docker

fluid turret

then it would be in the epic folder

this is not for docker

On dedicated serves looking at lights drops the FPS quite a bit
Looking at the same lights in singleplayer shows no FPS drop
any help to fix that?

making a rebar gun makes the entire server shut down

tranquil yew
#

My dedi will not take my savefile when uploaded and restarted

fluid turret
#

Do you know for certain its session name?

tranquil yew
#

I know the session name of the save

fluid turret
#

Did you get the session name from the file or from ingame, the file name will contain underscores instead of spaces

tranquil yew
#

from game

foggy agate
#

Find the desired save file and Session name in the Load tab in the main menu.

Session Name is of critical importance, save files only display it if they haven't been renamed while being saved, the only way to see the Session Name otherwise is from the Load Menu or a save editor

fluid turret
#

Did you by chance use FTP to move the save file?

tranquil yew
#

yup sftp

fluid turret
tranquil yew
#

lul

fluid turret
#

just in case, FTP does not work well with read write permissions

quick mist
#

why would a save file need to be executable?

#

or for that matter world-readable?

fluid turret
#

ok 555 then, either way

#

change the perms

quick mist
#

the last number in a permission set for a file should always be 0 unless you have a really good reason.

tranquil yew
#

okie thx guys working now

fluid turret
#

its a save file there is no problem adding 5 at the end

quick mist
#

I'm not going to get into a network/systems security best practice debate while I'm also working.

fluid turret
#

If they figure out how to mess with that you likely have bigger problems, or you hire that guy to make mods for the game.

#

What you dont want to do is -R on a chmod without knowing exactly what you are doing, now that is a bad idea.

brisk cloak
#

Is there work-a-round for server crashing when buildin or removing objects?

fluid turret
#

no its just waiting for a patch

brisk cloak
#

ty

hushed garnet
#

anyone know what this means?

vagrant turtle
#

it means the server crashed.... did someone shoot a rebar gun?

hushed garnet
#

nope... i launched it and it instantly chrashed

vagrant turtle
#

ok, I probably can't help any more than that.. but with just the one line being posted, rather than the whole output log, doesn't help much.. maybe someone else can help if you take a SS of more of the error logs

hushed garnet
indigo cape
#

Looks like you are loading for a steam client and it's missing some files

#

from steam client*

#

I not sure if that version is even working most use steamcmd without a full steam client and we dont get that app id error you get over and over

short glen
#

lol the word "false" is misspelled in the console, and so is "true" is this an inside joke?

#

lol

frosty gale
#

Does the server still run in the background if your computer the is in sleep mode?

indigo cape
#

not sure shrimp, have mine running on a windows server they don't sleep

river wedge
#

So anyone else had mark 3 belts become invisible on dedicated yet?

indigo cape
#

yes devin .. when you "upgrade" in place I have had them not reappear as the new one but they are still functioning and there

#

It's an update 3 bug for client... sad they still haven't fixed it

#

or maybe they did and this update went back in time because it feels like everything they hot fixed is broke right now I can't set pathing for vehicles my trains won't drop off it's just a cluster duck

mortal hazel
#

So, I install the server on docker, but I see nothing in the server manager just "NotAuthenticated" @turbid ridge

indigo cape
#

that's what you should see

#

when you connect for the first time it asks you to setup the passwords

mortal hazel
#

yes but it ask nothing

frosty gale
#

Dave is that only on dedicated?

indigo cape
#

It seems to ONLY be on client... so dedicated or not if you aren't the host

#

My friend used to join me and his car would be invis but I could run up to it as host and push it and it would show back up for him

#

belts and foundations too

#

I killed him a few times because he thought it was a glitched tile so walked over it and found out I ran outta concrete and was getting more the hole was actually there lol

mortal hazel
indigo cape
#

anyone found a work around to make trains and trucks/tractors function? the update today seems to have made it where I can't set paths for tractors

#

ports aren't forwarded

#

oh wait

#

you in the same network with it?

mortal hazel
#

No

#

Its a vps

indigo cape
#

Hmm, haven't tried the initial setup outside of local network

#

anyone else set one up outside of local?

mortal hazel
#

But isn't the whole point of dedicated server for linux machine that aren't on your computer no ?

indigo cape
#

it's not on my computer but it's on my LAN

#

so I use the LOCAL ip to set it up

#

and then others connect through external ip

#

my connect to it is 192.168

#

theirs is whatever it is 🙂

mortal hazel
#

Yes but, it is strange if it doesn't work on linux

indigo cape
#

I does many use linux here

#

it*

#

When you start and connect the first time it normally asks for password and admin password (create and verify)

#

not sure why yours seems to already have one

mortal hazel
#

Yes but it say this server appears to be offline

#

But it isn't

glass quarry

Can someone confirm that the Rebar Gun crashed the Server?

indigo cape
#

CONFIRMED

glass quarry
#

thx

mortal hazel
foggy agate
#

no port or anything else

mortal hazel
#

It Respond

indigo cape
#

if you can ping then make sure you have all 3 ports forwarded, 7777 15000 and ....

foggy agate
#

hes using a vps with direct internet connection

indigo cape
#

ok make sure they are UNBLOCKED then

#

no forwarding but still has to be open on the machine itself

random saffron
#

i cannot find dedicated sever launch on steam. can someone help me

indigo cape
#

haven't had any luck there bul use the steam cmd from the dedicated server wiki

foggy agate
#

use Steam CMD

random saffron
#

oh ok! by the way is this issue being worked on?

indigo cape
#

They claimed they are on the video earlier

#

today

random saffron
#

oh thanks i will check it out

foggy agate
#

that means either a port is blocked or anything network related.

indigo cape
#

oops not that

#

copeid wrong link lol

foggy agate
#

but from that alone is impossible to tell.

mortal hazel
#

I ping the port with portchecker

#

So everything is closed

indigo cape
#

their video from earlier

mortal hazel
#

wich is strange because normally all port are open on vps

foggy agate
mortal hazel
#

I haven't ufw installed 🤔

foggy agate
#

or a virtual UTM in the datacenter. check the user panel and try to open the ports

indigo cape
#

I haven't used vps so not familiar with their setups but if you can ping and can't connect then it's for sure firewall, because if it was routing your ping wouldn't return either

foggy agate

Is OpenVZ virtualisation doing something to it ?

It is portforward i think

foggy agate

if you want tell us the hoster 🙂

mortal hazel

I checked, all port are open by default

#

I'm cursed i thing, because the dedicated server are always not working for me...

#

(for exemple factorio doesn't work also)

balmy glacier

rip

#

when you were having troubles with linuxgsm, I knew it would not be solved with docker

foggy agate
balmy glacier
#

is he using iptables?

foggy agate
#

seems so

balmy glacier

try

sudo iptables -I INPUT 6 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 7777 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 6 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 15777 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 6 -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 15000 -j ACCEPT
sudo netfilter-persistent save

foggy agate
#

if there isn't any other firewall installed

mortal hazel
#

iptables: Index of insertion too big.

#

sudo: netfilter-persistent: command not found

#

🤔

balmy glacier
#

try without sudo?

blazing willow
#

a ok thank

leaden grotto
#

@upbeat bay how did u install steamcmd?

foggy agate
#

I don't get it, why want people set up a server with no knowledge about anything. Its a lot of work with such an early version....

upbeat bay
leaden grotto
#

what distro are you on?

foggy agate
fluid turret
#

especially with LinuxGSM its 2 commands and your ready, being able to play on a world without needing host on is highly sought after for obvious reasons

upbeat bay
#

centos 7 right now since the glibc version it wanted matches, but i can try ubuntu 20

leaden grotto
#

ubuntu is probably more likely to work

#

especially since they have an apt pkg

indigo cape
#

it's really just download steamcmd, put in that command and then follow the next steps in the wiki which is open the ports it needs and start the .exe done

do you have to start a new save for dedicated servers or can you move a save to a dedicated server?

getting a bit old that is like 90% of the conversation here

leaden grotto

perhaps worth asking a dev/ mod for it to be put in the channel desc and pinned

foggy agate

They won't be

#

it's not better than not using it

leaden grotto

will I be defenestrated if I ping a mod/ dev

ok - enjoy your dedi servers 😄

indigo cape
#

I would enjoy them baine but the trains don't work the trucks don't work so unless I want to run miles of stack poles and belts I'm pretty much at a stand still

leaden grotto
#

ngl I still feel like belts are worth running

indigo cape
#

if they wouldn't cause insane lag I would

leaden grotto
#

ah

upbeat bay
#

nope, still not downloading it.

indigo cape
#

we did that once and having 12 stacked belts running full mats causes clients to rubberband a lot

leaden grotto
foggy agate
indigo cape
#

or at least it used to haven't tried it but seeing as every other bug that was fixed since update 2 is back I'm just playing the odds

foggy agate
#

otherwise I would check the outbound ports.

leaden grotto
#

@foggy agate its not even downloading the ds

#

its something wrong with the linux install

quick mist
#

probably not

indigo cape
#

@leaden grotto doubt it .. most people here use linux or something similar

foggy agate
#

never had that before. Most of the time its something with the install itself.

leaden grotto
#

not the general pkg

#

just their CentOS config

quick mist
#

My linux server has been running like a champ since day one

foggy agate
quick mist
#

indeed.. I think the first game server I set up and actually used was a ThreeWave Quake CTF server back in the day

:snrk:

indigo cape

LOL fair enough

quick mist
#

I don't know.. the 3wave docs were pretty sparse..

indigo cape
#

though to be honest out of all the dedicated I've setup this was the easiest... I litterally use did steam cmd and then run .exe

#

done

quick mist
#

heck on Windows I'd just use steamcmd in WSL and use the Linux server

technical question: is the dedicated server single threaded? or is that just my configuration?

quick mist
#

it's mostly 1 thread at this point

foggy agate

you sure cause mine says it's running 31 threads and 6% cpu

@upbeat bay have u tried uninstalling it and using the yum pkg yet?

half shuttle
indigo cape
#

and yeah it's only using one cpu it's got my 3rd going nuts while the rest are sitting idle

At least your other cores are free to run other game servers XD

whats our options... minecraft? lol

#

true explorers use a cattle prod

you can always try running ARK and use up all your resources. HAHAHA.. that one is a hog!

quick mist

Well let's see.. right now I'm running Satisfactory, SCP, Barotrauma, and Valheim servers and all is well (:

stray bone
#

Is 7777 the port clients should add at the end?

quick mist
#

Clients should leave the default port suggested by the client

indigo cape
#

oh lol forgot the other processor it's also idle so 15 sitting idle that's just a bit sad really lol

foggy agate
half shuttle
#

if it is changed, it will be waht was origonally 15777. the other 2 cannot be modified yet

#

if i understand correctly

mortal hazel
indigo cape
#

lol @vagrant turtle space engineers is the one that ate my server alive, I ran multi cluster ark without issue

quick mist
#

Basically one port is used for "hey are you a Satisfactory server? I'd like to log in.", one is used for "hey are you still online?" and one is used for actual game telemetry

#

@indigo cape I'm still annoyed there's no native Linux server for SE; I'd much rather run it direct than in a container.

foggy agate

They need to add a new map to this game

I don't even use resource scanner anymore

tell me you play too much Satisfactory without telling me you play too much Satisfactory, Dave

where is the bug tracker at? not inportant but i got a spare set of HUB parts

yeah my server been up 60 hours lost a few yesterday when power went out 🙂

lovin this "keep game active even when no clients connected" option. as long as ur stuff is optimized

lol I know right

#

came back and all my bins are full and ready to build

vagrant turtle

yeah, that's the #1 feature I prefer about dedicated servers.. and at least they do have the option to pause / keep going..

okay running it as a single command didn't work

its downloading now

half shuttle
indigo cape
#

thunder you goto the new server thing hit add server and type the ip

whole warren
#

@vagrant turtle where do i find the external ip address?

half shuttle
#

ask google "whats my ip"

vagrant turtle
frank stag
#

Has anyone here setup a server using AMP? Would you recommend it?

whole warren
#

he has done that but they either say offline or not updated which he has done all of that

vagrant turtle
#

has he added a game to his server?

whole warren
#

how does he do tha

half shuttle
#

he connects from satisfactory experimental, and adds server. then in that window shoud see tab create game

whole warren
#

and also i do type all the dots for the address correct?

vagrant turtle
#

yes, you type in the IP address with the dots... should be 4 octets...

quick mist
vagrant turtle
#

123.456.789.012 .. etc..

whole warren
#

hwo do you add someone?

vagrant turtle
#

even though the Ip address I gave can never be a legal one HAHAHAAH

vagrant turtle
#

no octet can be greater than 255

half shuttle
whole warren
#

and when he does give me an ip address it says offline or not updated and it is updated

quick mist
#

fun fact: you can also use just a number as the ip address. for the IP a.b.c.d, you add up d, c tim es 256, b times 256 squared, and a times 256 cubed. That large large number.. is actually a valid IP address.

whole warren
#

is the public and external ip the same?

vocal jungle
#

no

#

and yes

vagrant turtle
#

yes, public = external ..

whole warren
#

whats the diffrentce

#

ok

half shuttle
#

so use a UDP port checker on his WAN (isp) ip, port 15777. if it's listening, then your good, if not then look into port fowarding

indigo cape
#

the person saying it

#

that's the difference

vocal jungle
#

exterinal/puplic is how the world sees your network

indigo cape
#

public and external are the same thing

whole warren
#

so why are the ip address not working is there more then one and he need too find the right thing

half shuttle
#

public ip is your router's name according to the outside world.

vocal jungle
#

internal or lan ip is how computers see them selfs inside your network

indigo cape
#

nope 1 ip but he does have to follow the port forwarding rules from the satsifactory dedicatated server HOW TO SETUP wiki

turbid ridge
vagrant turtle
whole warren
#

he has setup a server and stuff but says there a lot of addresses and none of them work

indigo cape
#

umm there is only 1

#

google what's my ip ... and that is the ONLY ip

whole warren
#

idk thats what he says but any ip address he gives me wont work

there will only be "one" external IP ... but there be "many" internal IPs on the whole network.. What he needs to do is "port forward" the 3 ports from the router to the internal IP address of the server running it

if he is giving you a 192.168.x.y .. then he is giving you the "internal" IP ..

half shuttle
#

there are only 3 possible ip's: the dedicated server's internal LAN ip, the router's LAN ip, and the routers external WAN ip (the one you need)

#

fredom don't go down that road cause there can be more

#

my server has 3 nics :p

whole warren
#

so will the ipchicken.com give you the external? or do you have to go look on the outside of your router in your house

vagrant turtle
#

yes

#

ipchicken will give the proper external IP

indigo cape
#

ok he must have us all silenced because we have said that like 20 times

whole warren
#

ok ill find out give me a min

indigo cape
#

Just don't post it here

vagrant turtle
#

but Dave, my network here is way more complex.. hehe I currently have 2 incoming business lines, with a 3rd to be added as soon as I get my Starlink box. hehe

I have 3 subnets in my home right now 10.10 192.168 and a 172.. so

half shuttle
#

i never have gotten around to figuring out subnets for home use... yet

vagrant turtle
#

and tbh, I can use either uplink that I want from the same machine, at the same time... so yeah, if you looked at the routing tables, you would think it is more complex than end game SatisFactory belts running all over the place HAHAAHAH

#

one is dmz and the other is a work router for vpn

vagrant turtle
#

no DMZ here.. I know exactly where everything goes, with no "accidental holes" .. hehe

welp he went to ipchicken.com and the server still says offline and we dont know why

indigo cape
#

I do what's my ip from here I get a 47..... I do what's my ip on my computer beside me I get a 44. 🙂

you have to start it, then log into it once to setup passwords

#

What's a foundation?

#

lol kidding 🙂

whole warren
#

start the server and settup a password before soemone can play?

half shuttle
indigo cape
#

yep when you start it the first connect setups up the password for admin and password for users to join

leaden grotto
#

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

indigo cape
#

well I actually do have bio gens hooked up to a gas gen powered grid lol

whole warren
#

so my friend did the exetarl ip address and it still says offline and eh has setup a password and played it sevral times and nothing will work?

half shuttle
#

sounds like the ports arent fowareded on their router, allowing outside traffic into the protected LAN

zenith oasis
#

why cant i change the session to friends only ;s it is stuck at private no matter how many times i try to change it it dosent work ;s

indigo cape
#

ok so he has played it? then it's the port forwarding that's not been done

vagrant turtle
# whole warren wdym

Ok, your friend needs to to know the following:

External IP (found finally)
Internal IP of the server running the server.. Most likely will be a 192.168.x.y 
And then go INTO the router, and forward the following ports as UDP, not TCP
7777 - 7781 (for 4 clients)
15000
15777
indigo cape
#

because he can play using lan no ports needed

#

but you have to play from internet (WAN) and that requires ports to be opened

whole warren
#

he says hes been to like 6 diffrent ip website and there all giving him diffrent addres

half shuttle
#

fascinating....

vagrant turtle
#

sounds like someone doesn't know anything about networking ... and tbh, he needs to do some googling and reading about how networking is done.

indigo cape
#

and no way that's true.. if you type what's my ip in the google.com search engine you will get 1 ip and it's the same with every computer in your house because if you have anything more complex you would know how to use it

half shuttle
#

^was trying not to say it, but is accurate

quick mist
#

unless ey're checking from a round-robin-egress VPN

vagrant turtle
#

and if he is behind a VPN, then his IP may be different, as that constantly shifts his external IP around as the exit nodes of the VPN can and will change

whole warren
#

idk but its not working either way

indigo cape
quick mist
#

you'd like to think that but here we are (:

vagrant turtle
#

especially if he is trying to use a proxy .. then you will never know just by going to those sites.. he needs to disable ALL proxies and ALL vpns to get the proper IP
OR just go into the router itself, and look at the status and it will show the external IP address

whole warren
#

idk he says he doesnt have an vpn but we can't figure it out

zenith oasis
#

Anyone know why i cant make my dedicated to friends only it only locks itself to private session ;s

half shuttle
#

um... does he even have access to his router's admin page?

vagrant turtle
indigo cape
#

SO you are trying to tell me .. he is AT home with a basic standard home setup and he types what's my ip and then does it again and gets 2 different numbers? I don't believe it at all

half shuttle
whole warren
#

ye he does he the it person in his house hes restarting the server now to figure it out

indigo cape
#

no way your isp is giving you more than 1 ip unless you are paying for static range and most normal home users don't do that

half shuttle
#

may that house have all the blessings

vagrant turtle
#

it's not the server... it's the Router / Port Forwarding that is not letting you connect

whole warren
#

idk if he quite meant 6 but lol he is messing everyhting upa nd nothing will work lol\

indigo cape
#

oh do this goto run in windows, type cmd then type ipconfig and look for the gateway... then type that gateway ip into your browser that's your routers ip

#

that is how you admin your router to forward the ports
