dedicated-servers

[half shuttle]

well, sounds like he needs to login to his router, find it's firewall tab, add 3 port fowarding rules that will point to the LAN address of the server, for ports 15777, 15000, and 7777. then go to the status page and find out what the ISP address it (not similar to LAN/DHCP)

[whole warren]

ok we'll try

[indigo cape]

and god help you if you have one of those stupid combo routers from isp that they don't let you control

[half shuttle]

if so, they could call support... lol, stay with me here... and have them try... attempt to do the fowarding

[indigo cape]

they tried to give me one once told that guy where he could stick it

[whole warren]

ok

[indigo cape]

I have a night hawk I don't need that generic crap

[whole warren]

do they suppor ip d4 does that have anything to do with it?

[indigo cape]

IPv4? yes it's 192.168.0 or 1 usually then .xxx

[half shuttle]

i got tired of reseting the netgear routers, after the 4th one, i just switched to ubiquity er4

[vagrant turtle]

not sure what you are trying to say there.. all routers / modems do nothing BUT handle IP traffic hehe

[indigo cape]

I never have to reset mine wanna know why?

[whole warren]

yes its v4

[indigo cape]

because it's the dhcp that they can't handle

[whole warren]

so will ipv4 work on the address?

[indigo cape]

my server runs the dhcp

[slim spoke]

ya the server is ipv4

[vagrant turtle]

I use static inside .. too many things that can't be moved around. heh

[indigo cape]

only my server is static the rest is dhcp

[whole warren]

but can you join a server with a ipv4 ip address?

[indigo cape]

but just saying that's why netgear always needs a restart it can't handle the dhcp and crap I feel like they log crap and fill up or something because I was reseting it all the time and now I haven't reset in 2 years

with the EXTERNAL IPv4 YES you kinda have to

[half shuttle]

kinda how the internet works, aside from ipv6

[indigo cape]

don't explode his brain

[half shuttle]

all those url's are fancy name badges and redirects

[slim spoke]

when u goto server manager it asks for ip to add server

[vagrant turtle]

An IPv4 address look like: 1.0.0.1 to 254.255.255.254
or 123.123.123.123 etc..

An IPv6 address looks like:
fe80::57c6:a5d2:af22:c727

[whole warren]

so wait can you have a ipv4 ip address and still join the server because thats what his ip and is the starting 198 ip interal?

[slim spoke]

192 is lan ip behind router

192.168

[vagrant turtle]

IPv4 is the "protocol"

[slim spoke]

thats also ipv4 look at what blaksmith said

[whole warren]

so is 192.168 internal and the 198 external?

[vagrant turtle]

Internal IP and External IP are most likely IPv4

[slim spoke]

if u have router and thats the settings yes

how u tell is type whatismyip in browser

thast external cause its from the net

[vagrant turtle]

only problem, his friend says he gets different IPs .. which tells me either VPN or Proxy

[whole warren]

idk now i am totally confused lol but either way it still says offline lol but he is trying to restart it now

[indigo cape]

yes 192.168 is for sure internal

[slim spoke]

or multiadapters

its simple to fix

[indigo cape]

or too much weed/crack

[slim spoke]

if u wanna be rude i guess

[indigo cape]

no just it's not something that normal homes have so it's just very unlikely

[slim spoke]

dont include me in drama

[vagrant turtle]

tbh, it would be better if his friend just came into the chat and not have to relay back and forth, and miss info being stated

[indigo cape]

again if you use something like that then you would know you were using it... a vpn or proxy doesn't sneak into your house and set itself up

[idle flower]

alright I'm back this time running a dedi in docker... ndboost.com:15777

[half shuttle]

great idea for trojan virus

[slim spoke]

ndboost ur server was up last nite

on the ndboost adddy

[idle flower]

uhhh it was?

[slim spoke]

ya look back i pinged to let u know

[idle flower]

lmdao

[slim spoke]

it just came up in list after a bit when u were testing

[idle flower]

ahhhhh

well, i removed AMP and went the docker route.. much cleaner 🙂

[slim spoke]

nice

[idle flower]

is there a server list somewhere that i'm not seeing?

[fluid turret]

no there isn't

atleast not ingame or officially

[idle flower]

ok, and last question is, is there a way to load or manage saves yet either in game or outside?

[fluid turret]

yes

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

[fluid prawn]

Can you run the dedicated server on one PC and play from another, using the same steam account

[balmy glacier]

yes, if you use steamcmd

[vagrant turtle]

Regarding the saves moving, you also need to create the ~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server directory

Just the server directory is missing by default

[indigo cape]

@fluid prawn if you run dedicated you don't use a steam account for it

[fluid prawn]

Well if I do it that way, this is what I get

[slim spoke]

use link in pinned msgs

there is anon cmd

[vagrant turtle]

I get a lot of red entries like that when it boots up, but it does run

[indigo cape]

because you are using the wrong one and not the one from the satisfactory dedicated server wiki

up in the pinned gives you the steamcmd to download and run it

which people without steam (i.e. epic users) can run

[vagrant turtle]

and even though I do have it through steam, I use the anonymous login to install the server. hehe

[misty zinc]

Ok so im probably low IQ but theres no join button for a Server im trying to join

[vagrant turtle]

Server Manager, Add Server, add your friend's IP address that they give you, and then it will try and join their server, and then you should be able to join the game

[indigo cape]

on main menu you hit the new server thing that's got a big "hey over here" icon on it and add server

[misty zinc]

I already did that but its just showing the server but no join

https://gyazo.com/6bd2017f8581f24437f4236596535567

[vagrant turtle]

sounds like they have it set up as private.. they need to go in and change to "public"

or whatever it is

[misty zinc]

ok then ill go talk to em

[indigo cape]

umm actually that says it right there you need to auth

you have to put in the password

[misty zinc]

got it

thx

[vagrant turtle]

I didn't even look at the image hehehe so yeah, they have it pass locked 🙂

[indigo cape]

yeah it shows the server is found pinging at 63 and is asking for passord

[vagrant turtle]

I opened the image after you mentioned heheeh

[sudden ferry]

does anyone have a public server

[indigo cape]

maybe a note to snutt, change the wording from authenticate to enter password

[quick mist]

entering a password is authenticating

[indigo cape]

yeah to us it is

but clearly....

[vagrant turtle]

Maybe it should just pop up a box when clicking on "Join" to ask for the password?

[grizzled bobcat]

Hi , how save works when i host a dedicated server , if i host , and join then leave my server and the server still running , did my state is saved ?

[indigo cape]

that would be even better blak

if you check the box for save on exit ... yes

[warped valve]

Hi All, anybody also the experience that you lose the connection during driving a tractor, and after reconnecting you are respawned but the old player is still there.. (on the Tractor )

[indigo cape]

@warped valve I have not.. I have trains that won't unload .. trucks that won't take fuel but haven't had disconnect while tractoring

tractor the only vehicle that seems to "work" right now

[warped valve]

Okey, there are issues with the vehicles.. hope it will be addressed soon 😄

[indigo cape]

They said in a post on q&a they are they just didn't want to rush it before weekend and make things even worse

[vagrant turtle]

I just hope they fix the rebar gun next

[indigo cape]

but but the rebar gun is the best way to get the server to recover your body when you die ... just pick up rebar at hub before the auto save can happen and fire... boom got all your stuff back

[vagrant turtle]

HAHAHAHAA

turning a bug into a feature!

[grizzled bobcat]

anyone ..

[slim spoke]

it saves when people leave

[vagrant turtle]

Dave did answer you. 🙂

[indigo cape]

but not on crash ! 🙂

[grizzled bobcat]

but the factory still running ? until i shut down the server ?

[slim spoke]

if u dont set the pause when empty ... yes

[grizzled bobcat]

where ?! 🙂

[half shuttle]

thats an option yes

[indigo cape]

speed I answered that if you check the box on server setup it does

[grizzled bobcat]

awesome

thanks dave , is it pinged ?

[vagrant turtle]

There are 2 checkboxes.. one to "Save when client exits" .. and anther checkbox "Pause when nobody connected" ... and Dave was talking about the first one "Save when client exits"

[grizzled bobcat]

Awesome 😄

[torpid wadi]

Is anyone having issues with the conveyor vertical holes on dedicated servers?
Don't know exact name as I'm at work.. been having a heck of a time with those.

[grizzled bobcat]

this is amazing .

thanks guys ❤️

[indigo cape]

@torpid wadi for the lifts ?

[slim spoke]

its order of build

hole out in conveyor

[torpid wadi]

Can place conveyor lifts on one end, but no matter what I try I can't place the 2nd

[indigo cape]

yeah it's all about the order took me a bit to figure it out

[torpid wadi]

Yeah @indigo cape the lift holes through foundations

[vagrant turtle]

I haven't unlocked that yet .. hehe

[torpid wadi]

I tried exit first, but couldn't place the entrance

[indigo cape]

pull from the side you want it to goto like if you are going up then start on the up side

then go under and pull from belt/machine to the hole

[vagrant turtle]

Is there still a bug with the elevator when sending it off? I'm at the point where I need to start on Elevator stage 3

[torpid wadi]

Oh

[indigo cape]

I got tired of fighting it and just clip through the floor and then put the whole ontop so it looks like I used it

[slim spoke]

is that teh bug from not listening to ada msg

[torpid wadi]

Oof. Ok then

[indigo cape]

@frosty gale the double complete if 2 clients do at same time?

[wicked knot]

Hey folks. Do I need to do anything special to quit the server?

[indigo cape]

@vagrant turtle if so it was fixed BUT as with everything else in this update they broke almost everything they "fixed" in hot fixes

[indigo cape]

nope just exit

[vagrant turtle]

I honestly don't remember what the bug was, just saw that there was one the other day

[indigo cape]

there was one where if player 1 and player 2 pull the lever together, you go from tier whatever to 2 above that

like from 2 to 4 it's skips and goes to 6

[slim spoke]

only 1 i remember was that

[indigo cape]

I loved that one ...

[slim spoke]

and u just replay in X to hit the trigger

[indigo cape]

didn't have to do any of the tier 6 crap to get to 8 lol

[vagrant turtle]

ROFL that's a fun bug

[indigo cape]

yeah we found it out by accident me and my friend raced to it to see who could get it first cause we wanted to watch the packing animation lol

and boom tier 8 unlocked and we were like uhhh what?

so start a new and tried to dupe it and it worked so reported it

[vagrant turtle]

hahaahaha

[indigo cape]

Hey remember that fun bug where rocks come back when you blow them up

[zenith oasis]

Anyone know how to fix an issue where you cant put the server to friends only? it keeps being stuck at private even tho i try to change it ;s

[indigo cape]

you know the one that was fixed years ago?

it's back

[vagrant turtle]

hehe yeah... saw it yesterday

[indigo cape]

@zenith oasis just leave it private put in password and good to go mine is set that way and I have 3 people I met in this channel on it

[slim spoke]

tell them to send u the save and u do it

[zenith oasis]

ahh okej cause when my friend tries to join he keeps getting an error like he dosent even get the proper loading screen either ;s @indigo cape

[indigo cape]

ports forwarded?

[zenith oasis]

yes

[vagrant turtle]

my map is stuck on private, but my friend is able to log in

[indigo cape]

wait proper load screen? does he not have experimental loaded?

cause you can't join without the right version

[zenith oasis]

Fatal error!

thats the error xD

[indigo cape]

that's a engine crash

[slim spoke]

looks like using ea not exp

[indigo cape]

try validating your install

[slim spoke]

all the errors are u4

[zenith oasis]

alright will tell him that tomorrow when he is back on ^^

[broken ravine]

Anyone know if the dedicated server being behind the same NAT as the clients attempting to connect causes a problem?

[indigo cape]

only if you use the public IP

[broken ravine]

Seems like after the first connection, the clients will never connect again. 😦

[indigo cape]

inside I use local ip and the others joining use the public

[vagrant turtle]

If you are inside the network, it's best to use the internal IP, unless your router can handle NAT proprerly

[broken ravine]

Yeah I'm using the local ip, and it works to connect, set the servername/password/etc. But after loading a save, or creating a new game, I can connect and play just fine. However if I disconnect, I can never re-connect.

It will time out every time.

If I wipe out all the save data and start the server back up again fresh, it seems to work again, that first time.

[vagrant turtle]

I had one router that was a pain, and wouldn't forward between internal ports etc... glad that thing finally died HAHAHA

[indigo cape]

hmm haven't heard that one yet

[broken ravine]

If I start the server up on an external (to the house) host, it works flawlessly.

So I'm assuming being behind the same NAT has something to do with it, but I don't know why it works once.

[vagrant turtle]

that is a new one.. I join/disconnect mine on the internal network all the time, but using the internal IP

[broken ravine]

😐 hmm

[indigo cape]

yeah I have only done that the whole time it's been running

[broken ravine]

Well, I'm glad it's not entirely broken for everyone, but I wish ti wasn't broken for me too.

[indigo cape]

you using epic or steam?

[broken ravine]

all steam

[vagrant turtle]

for the hell of it, have you tried to see if you can connect using the external IP?

[indigo cape]

hmm

what server you running it on?

[broken ravine]

I have not, I'm copying the install over to another box in the house at the moment, to remove that specific host as the issue.

kubyx

er linux

[indigo cape]

don't have something on that box closing the ports when you stop and not reopening when you try to join?

[broken ravine]

Nope

[indigo cape]

or maybe 7777 is busy and it can't use 7778 because it's not open?

[broken ravine]

nope, everything is being held by the server, and the server isn't even stopping inbetween attempts.

It's like start server -> connect from client -> generate new game -> connect and play -> exit -> never connects again.

[indigo cape]

as a test.. open all ports, try it .. but don't leave them all open I'm just curious if it's stepping up and can't get in because the next in line is blocked

[vagrant turtle]

well, if internal, and no firewall on the linux box, that won't mean anything...

[indigo cape]

yeah well I figured he'd say he has no internal firewall if that was the case

[vagrant turtle]

Have you completely restarted steam after you can't connect the 2nd time? (on the client)

[indigo cape]

not much else would prevent a connection though

[broken ravine]

Yeah, no firewall.

[indigo cape]

hmm

[vagrant turtle]

If the game doesn't close down (have seen reports of it) need to completely close steam, and restart

[indigo cape]

yeah but I can exit to main menu right now and jump right back in

[broken ravine]

I have not restarted steam on the client, although disconnects/reconnects on the remote server work okay. I'll try restarting steam anyway though.

[indigo cape]

oh one of the people that joins mine has to try like 4 times everytime

do you try it multiple times

don't know why I assume it's a bug

[broken ravine]

yeah, about a dozen before I gave up and come to ask for help 🙂

[quick mist]

fair.

[indigo cape]

but only him the other 3 haven't had issues

[broken ravine]

It kept saying "timeout" so I figured maybe it was just super sensitive as at the time, I was connecting over wifi.

I've sense hard wired and seen no change.

[vagrant turtle]

ok, good that you ruled out wifi

[indigo cape]

but did you

[quick mist]

it's not terribly sensitive; I think you have something like 30 seconds or so for the server to respond before the connection handshake times out

[indigo cape]

most laptops priority wifi... did you turn it off

I have never figured out why they would priority wifi over hard line but they sure as hell do in win 10

[broken ravine]

Yeah, hardware disabled, and I'm on a 1gb/s link on the same switch the server is on now.

[quick mist]

for the same reason Win2000 started up the network services before the firewall: incompetent engineering

[slim spoke]

win10 was made for surface and mobiles

[vagrant turtle]

I think on my laptop when I'm in Ubuntu Studio, and hard-wired, it uses the wire instead of wifi

[indigo cape]

yeah you said internal so I figured at min 100 and best 1g

lol that's why I said win 10

didn't notice that crap in win 7 either

not that I switch between those very much

you said others can reonnect externally though?

[broken ravine]

Don't have anyone to try with at the moment so I'm not sure if it'd work. I have not forwarded any ports currently.

[indigo cape]

I can try if you like I'm just standing here in northern forest talking to you chaps

[vagrant turtle]

that's how I read it .. that externals can come and go all they want.. so that actually rules out the server box ... It's more like the client side not closing the ports after using, hence the restart of steam to kill the process for good.

oh, I thought you said you had people connecting before

[indigo cape]

I thought he did too that's why I asked must've been someone else so many today lol

[broken ravine]

I meant to point out that I also have an external host and the server is working there flawlessly.

As in I can connect to it, disconnect, reconnect, etc no problem.

It's the one in my house that's busted.

[vagrant turtle]

ahhh ok. didn't know you were doing 2 different ones. 🙂

[burnt blaze]

@broken ravine Is the network on your client marked under windows as "Public" or "Private"?

[quick mist]

If a non-local client can connect and disconnect freely, but another cannot, it's probably a clientside problem for the second client

[indigo cape]

no we all got it backwards dopeghoti, he said he can't at all on server 1 but server 2 he has no issues

[broken ravine]

public, oddly enough.

Right, server 1, in the house behind the same nat as the client, fails. Server 2, out there on the interwebs, works fine.

[vagrant turtle]

you can connect once, then stop, and then can't connect again, if I'm recalling ....

[indigo cape]

that could be it then .. public blocks everything and when you start a game first time it defaults to private and people hit accept leaving public unchecked

[burnt blaze]

Try changing it to Private. When a machine first connects to a network is asks about this, but it's easy to miss/dismiss. Then it defaults to Public

[indigo cape]

so you only allowing game through the private firewall and not the public one

[broken ravine]

Right, swapping it

[indigo cape]

not sure why your's would change between connections though that's a bit odd

usually only changes when you plug unplug or change wifi

[burnt blaze]

It might have been marked public this whole time.

EDIT: Oh, I see now. That is odd.

[broken ravine]

It likely was. It's private now, but no joy. 😦

[burnt blaze]

Can you ping the server IP?

[broken ravine]

Yup, and I'm ssh'd into it fine.

The game also shows a 3ms ping in the GUI

[burnt blaze]

Well, I'm out of ideas, lol.

[indigo cape]

yeah that's a weird one if you see the ping and the ports aren't closed on either machine no reason it should prevent it

Does the server have multiple nics?

[broken ravine]

One physical nic, onboard wifi is disabled. There are virtual docker interfaces. The server is running in docker, however the remote one that's working is fine too. I've also started the server outside docker on two separate boxes in the house now and see the same behavior.

[slim spoke]

just for fun is the server monitoring ipv6 ports

[indigo cape]

oo that's a good one

I forget about that because I disabled ipv6 on my server years ago

[slim spoke]

same

[indigo cape]

had issues running dedicated with it on lol

[slim spoke]

plus i havent applied enough brain food to get things started

[broken ravine]

Uh, the docker proxy is listening to both, I don't know know if the server it self is

[vagrant turtle]

ok, 2 separate boxes, tells me it is something with your client

[indigo cape]

well for shits and giggles turn off 6

[broken ravine]

but the client does work with the external server 😐

[indigo cape]

yes on client like blak said

[vagrant turtle]

something is not disconnecting on the local network it is acting like

[indigo cape]

doubt external is using 6

[slim spoke]

v6 isnt used so turning it off doesnt hurt just means nothing can flip cause of it

[vagrant turtle]

Let me know what your results are after you restart steam and try to connect and join

[indigo cape]

yeah I feel like that's what it is you are connecting on 4 and then when you come back it tries to connect on 6

had that issue with one I ran years ago on dedicated

[vagrant turtle]

after it fails the 2nd time, that is

[broken ravine]

I'm connecting via ipv4 in the text box, why would it hop protocols mid connection?

[indigo cape]

you said you killed connection and returned

the return is failing?

[slim spoke]

this is something that has helped others get server under control so try it or dont ur choice

[indigo cape]

I'd give that a try, worst that happens is nothing happens and you turn it back on

[broken ravine]

Yeah I exited the game and tried to connect again later, but again via the ipv4 address. But yeah no harm in trying, one minute.

[slim spoke]

if incoming is being forwarded to 2 ports and server doesnt do v6 it could be tripping it up

[indigo cape]

That's what I'm thinking

[vagrant turtle]

not a port forwarding issue... all internal network

[indigo cape]

I had it happen with ad too, for some reason it wouldn't sign in because it was trying to on 6 instead of 4 turned off 6 and all the domain machines started working

[slim spoke]

didnt say he has a forwarding issue i said he has an ipv6 protocol running on ipv4 server

[indigo cape]

yep 1 check box turn off... done if it works great if not no harm cause 6 isn't really used

[vagrant turtle]

ok, mis-read then 😛 heheh... Ihave IPv6 on my server as well as on my client, but I try to keep everything on IPv4 .. as I don't have an external IPv6

[slim spoke]

lol just like few days ago when guys thing wouldnt behave til he cleaned the ports up then it worked

[broken ravine]

Yeah, I'm disabling it now, I do use ipv6 for stuff in the house, making sure turning it off doesn't break the lady's working.

[indigo cape]

while we wait can someone explain to me the wisdom behind adding "fuel calculator" to truck stops? I just don't see a positive to limiting a vehicle for something that is unlimited it's not like I have to pay $35 to fill up it's free coming right out of the ground

only turn off on your machien won't effect them at all

[slim spoke]

lol well its good if its fixed so trucks dont run out on ya for some dumb reason

[quick mist]

if you have a single station fueling up 6 trucks, it might not get enough fuel to fully top off each one every time it stops by.

[slim spoke]

but most of those are u dont have fuel so it doesnt matter anyways

[quick mist]

but basically they re-used the code from the drone station to fuel for the round trip (:

[burnt blaze]

Yeah it depends. It should be a toggle basically.

[indigo cape]

what sanctum said

[quick mist]

yeah, ideally it'd be "no fuel" / "top-up" / "trip" as a selection

[indigo cape]

unless you have a car running such a long route that it uses 100 for it's trip that crap ain't running dry

[quick mist]

I'm all for more choices

[slim spoke]

if loading truck with fuel runs out on trip then u made it way to long and the feature wouldnt help cause it wants to give min needed .. so i agree with toggling it .. cause it can be setup to be useful in situations

[quick mist]

I just don't like the idea of only fueling for one loop because that means I can't commandeer a vehicle to go exploring without bringing my own fuel

[indigo cape]

don't know about you but I run trucks / tractors that routes use like 10 maybe 20 at most so even 6 trucks I'd have to have belt mk 1's to have the station run out between 6 of them and they would all have to come in back to back

and if they come in back to back .. what did they actually pick up? that station would be empty

[burnt blaze]

Could be dropping off stuff

[indigo cape]

then the other 5 would drop nothing cause the station wouldn't have time to empty yet if it didn't have time to fill the fuel slot

I'm just saying I didn't get it ...l I like choices so by all means make it a selector I just couldn't see why they bothered

that time could've been used for something good like making trains actually unload

[upper cedar]

anyone have tryed the server crash then yuu start it again. you spawn underground in your tractor. i found my crate somewhere random says my tractor is here but think its still underground

[quick mist]

well again it seems to me that they just copied the code from the drone station thinking "good enough for one, why have two different refueling functions?"

[indigo cape]

@upper cedar yes, only thing I know of to fix is save file editor move the vehicle to a place it's above ground (best to put something else in to give you a point of ref (like the factory cart)

[vagrant turtle]

That happened to my friend on U4 the other week, with an explorer. I had to pull it out of the ground with an editor.

[broken ravine]

Thank you all for the help/suggestions. Just got an oncall event so I'll have to look at this later, bleh.

[indigo cape]

same @vagrant turtle

[vagrant turtle]

good luck Al when you can get to it

[upper cedar]

okay though they fix it so they should auto come up again ? . but thx for answere.

[indigo cape]

Lol good luck mate 🙂

[quick mist]

good luck with the on-call stuff. I'm on call this week too. whee.

[indigo cape]

not that I know of smo

they have a ghost for ai driving but nothing for "stop dropping my car under the ground for no reason"

[quick mist]

well if it's on a route and gets zonked underground, the ghosting should zoop it to the next checkpoint... unless it's out of gas

[indigo cape]

he said he was in it.. not likely the ai is on

[slim spoke]

just wait til they reuse the train recovery code to pull vehicles all back up

[quick mist]

well then RIP car

[indigo cape]

lol

[slim spoke]

and all those 300iq's that were trashing waste in void with vehicles get a surprise

[upper cedar]

no i drived in on a brige and was out of it was building a coal planet. the server crash and sundly i was back in the tractor. and was underground

[indigo cape]

so yes my first answer: save file editor pull it up or build a new and ignroe it

[upper cedar]

yeah i will try that. thx

[indigo cape]

I had 3 in my game do it.. so annoying

[vagrant turtle]

don't think the editor has been updated for U5 yet, has it?

[indigo cape]

oh .. haven't tried actually

[quick mist]

don't know that the map format has changed notwithstanding new items

[indigo cape]

yeah but save format could've they added signs that save the names... oh wait NO THEY DON'T

stupid signs keep reverting back

[quick mist]

the signs don't save the content?

[indigo cape]

no 😭

[quick mist]

Icarus had the same problem. d'oh

[indigo cape]

I built a warehouse 13 and put signs on the bins and labeled them and everything came back a few min later and all back to shaninagins (spelled wrong I'm sure)

Funny how the modder added signs they worked and looked good...never mind you see where that was going

that golf video they did when they showed signs it should said you're lost and then they turn their head and turn back and it say Shyennanigans with a iron ingot icon

because they always revert back to that

[burnt blaze]

That's a bummer. Hopefully the fixes keep coming out fast

[indigo cape]

Yeah they'll fix I'm not worried lol

[quick mist]

do they have the same issue outside of dedicated servers?

[indigo cape]

just wish they would've fixed train unloading before the weekend because that really puts full stop to my playing

not sure that's a good question

[quick mist]

I thought they fixed unloading; it's just not animated yet

[indigo cape]

mines not unloading at all

[quick mist]

huh

[indigo cape]

I tried setitng the unload items I tried not setting them

it picks up but won't drop off

[burnt blaze]

I've been waiting on trains until a revamp. Now I'm waiting for the revamp to be fixed lol

[indigo cape]

I was happy with trains the way the were .. not sure the good of pick up control when you can't inventory control

if one gets ahead of the other you'll eventually have none of one thing when mixing

[vagrant turtle]

we had something like that happen with one car ... ended up having to re-build the train station and re-lay the tracks (U4) and then it started unloading properly

[indigo cape]

load unload options makes sense if I could set half the station to 1 mat and the other half to another and the slots fill only their side but they don't work that way

[vagrant turtle]

not the whole track, just the connection right before the station

[indigo cape]

ah I did all of that except rebuild the full track

[burnt blaze]

Yeah lack of material filter or whatever is a bummer

[indigo cape]

I did the station the loaders and unloaders and the train but didn't redo the track

ah ok let me try that

[vagrant turtle]

I'm not up to trains on U5

[safe haven]

So.
Server is running, can be connected from within LAN but apparently not over WAN.
Seems like a weird issue.

[indigo cape]

we barely are 🙂

seems like a normal issue

firewall is blocking the porsts

ports*

[safe haven]

Incorrect.

[vagrant turtle]

ports forwarded from the router to the server? UDP ports 7777, 15000, and 15777

[safe haven]

The server is acknowledging a handshake from the remote user.

And then the connection is closing.

[burnt blaze]

huh

might be a bug?

[quick mist]

well, again.. are all three UDP ports forwarded?

[vagrant turtle]

do a port range
7777 - 7781

[quick mist]

don't blindly do a range.. verify which port the server is listening on

[vagrant turtle]

you may be using 7777, and they may be trying to connect on 7778, and your router is not forwarding that one

as it increments per connection

[indigo cape]

LOL and there is the other reason bare minimum fuel is BAD, truck hit a rock (that spawned back in) and used up the remaining fuel trying to get around it so stopped in middle of road

[burnt blaze]

Would it even get to the server if the ports aren't forwarded correctly?

[quick mist]

if the query port is, but the others are not, you'd get the "I see it, I can try to connect, but can't" behavior

[burnt blaze]

Ah. Makes sense

[vagrant turtle]

or if the port range for the # of players connection isn't there, the last one in line would not get in, if it'snot forwarded..

[quick mist]

no, Blak; all clients connect on the same port

[safe haven]

I do a fair bit of sysadmin work in Linux. I've verified the ports and protocols the server is listening on, they are open from all interfaces through ufw and forwarded in my Unifi controller.

[quick mist]

whosy, are you doing any sort of port translation or are all of the ports straight through?

[safe haven]

1:1 mapping.

[burnt blaze]

I'll say my Unifi Security gateway pro didn't actually forward the ports until I power-cycled it, even though it said it provisioned and the GUI said they were forwarded

[urban berry]

wrong, it increments per server

[vagrant turtle]

ok, i must have mis-read that on the wiki, thinking that per connection, it got incremented... not "more than one server running" ... d'oh!

[urban berry]

if it incremented per-client then you'll have 5+ ports needing to be opened

[vagrant turtle]

there were some games I have played where it was like that. heh

[safe haven]

That doesn't appear to be the case either, as I've had partial connections only for it to drop off part way through.
It seems not a networking issue but something relating to the server itself, which is why I'm asking in here specifically.

[indigo cape]

has anyone tried more than 4 player yet?

just curious if it's good or bad

[slim spoke]

just depends on the server how bad it gets fast

4 is more traffic then it really likes for now

[urban berry]

there was some fella in here the other day claiming to have a machine capable of 5.5GHz on all 32c/64t, and wanting to run a stress test with it

[slim spoke]

once u start driving and trains and tubes

its whole new thing

[urban berry]

but on a threadripper, that seems very uh... unrealistic?

[slim spoke]

dedi is limited to what it uses and game is 3cores lol

[urban berry]

exactly - that, and the fact that Intel is barely able to score 5.2GHz with watercooling on 11th gen...

[slim spoke]

wont even wake that cpu

i dont know oc part

just that the test is pointless

[indigo cape]

ok here goes everything

[urban berry]

it would be

[wide ivy]

does anyone know where to find the config file on linux headless?

also is it possible to change timout time?

[quick mist]

in the install directory, look in FactoryGame/Saved/Config

[wide ivy]

not in there for me, not sure why yet

[indigo cape]

nope still didn't unload ... grrr

[quick mist]

won't be there until the server is started once

[wide ivy]

server is running fine for me and others are conencted

I port forwarded 15777 , 15000 and 7777 all UDP to my server and that worked great.

[slim spoke]

777 or 7777

[wide ivy]

er ha

[indigo cape]

they clearly typo'd lol cause 777 wouldn't work :p

[wide ivy]

edited sorry

[slim spoke]

and 7777 u might need to add ports to make it a small range so if port fails it can find a working 1

dave can they type 777 in router and not forward to right place .....

lol nothing here surprises me after a few years

[indigo cape]

anyone using the train platform with rails? and it actually unloading

just wanted to see if maybe that part is broke because well it's new

[slim spoke]

i just be sure cause they could typo setting and pasted it here

anyways

[indigo cape]

yeah but right before that he said it's running fine

[vagrant turtle]

unless running as a root process, couldn't use port 777 anyway.. HAHAH.. all ports from 1000 and under are reserved for root / system access

[wide ivy]

yes

[slim spoke]

try 7777-7787

[indigo cape]

ok so train still won't unload

[vagrant turtle]

dang. 😦

[indigo cape]

might be time to just ram it again

[slim spoke]

cant access it but doesnt mean he couldnt typo it in router box like he did here

[wide ivy]

yikes

all is fine

[vagrant turtle]

true... about the router.

[slim spoke]

dave did u check the platform see if there is stuff in it

[wide ivy]

I run Ubiquity Edge router

[slim spoke]

maybe its tripping nad belt just needs redo

[wide ivy]

she/her

[fluid prawn]

Can someone check if my server is accessible from the outside? 197.25.181.129 is the address

[wide ivy]

as for train , no idea yet

[slim spoke]

use teh ip in ur game

[fluid prawn]

works fine on LAN, no way for me to check from the outside atm

[slim spoke]

it will go to net and connect if it works

[wide ivy]

try your outside ip

[fluid prawn]

It works, but it's directly through LAN

translates to the LAN address immediately

[slim spoke]

so use the net ip

that sends out on net and back like anyone elses

[fluid prawn]

I mean, I'm trying to check if other internet players can join me

[quick mist]

looks good!

[wide ivy]

as Sanctum said

[fluid prawn]

Ty ❤️

[slim spoke]

lol if u add it u can monitor the outside from ur server manager

[safe haven]

Output of failed connection

[slim spoke]

just need way to put note/name on the servers so can tell them apart

[quick mist]

like the Session Name?

[slim spoke]

not for save

like i tested 2 diff addys for people for same server last nite

[indigo cape]

@slim spoke yeah it was empty

I just hand unloaded and I'm ripping the whole thing down again

[slim spoke]

ya was just a lucky shot in dark

it might just be the train

they have done this b4 for update

[fluid prawn]

Also does anyone know the default server admin name?

I have set up the password, but I can't find the server username

Trying to manage it with SatisfactoryServerManager

[quick mist]

there is no username, just a password

[slim spoke]

no idea what u mean .. did u try the wiki page

[fluid prawn]

Hmm, one sec

[indigo cape]

oh it has before? then that explains it, I was noticing that every single really nasty bug they've ever had is back... it's like they used update 3 to make this update

[subtle sundial]

SSM is mainly for modding afaik

[indigo cape]

instead of starting with 4

[slim spoke]

ya trains on another had to be restarted or replaced depending why it flipped out

[fluid prawn]

Not talking about SMM btw

[quick mist]

that dashboard is not part of the dedicated server

sorry, can't help you

[slim spoke]

no idea what that screen is

[fluid turret]

https://github.com/mrhid6/SatisfactoryServerManager

[subtle sundial]

i am aware

[fluid turret]

I am guessing its that

the new thing

[slim spoke]

oh his write up should tell u

[fluid turret]

terrible acronym ngl

[safe haven]

SD&M would've been worse still.

[fluid prawn]

Well I was dumb enough and forgot to install that manager. Was using the exe directly instead 😅

It's working fine

[quick mist]

y...yay?

[coral verge]

question folks... just installed exp U5.. on a dedicated server... my milstone display isn't appearing on the upper right corner of the screen... known bug?

[quick mist]

yes

[fluid turret]

It says it in the readme, username admin pass ssm

[fluid prawn]

Yeah somehow didn't work with the bundled exe, had to install it as a service

[safe haven]

I resolved my problem. (I hope)

TIL: Unifi controller will let you have two port rules active at once.

[quick mist]

o.O

[safe haven]

Apparently I once had another service bound to port 7777.

[indigo cape]

yep they broke it last update

it was the entire update

[quick mist]

that would indeed cause a problem

[indigo cape]

@vagrant turtle Omg thanx man I thought it was just flat out broke didn't know it was just not working for me I ripped it all out train stations all of it and put it all back in stations first and then added train and it is now running

[quick mist]

Yay!

[vagrant turtle]

yay! glad it is running again!

[indigo cape]

now I actually have to play hehe, thought I'd have to find something else for the weekend because no trains and no trucks = dead in the water 🙂

[vagrant turtle]

ok, getting pulled away from this game.. friend wants to play LotRO heh

[indigo cape]

lol have fun

[slim spoke]

enjoy

[vagrant turtle]

I'll be back LOL

[slim spoke]

so dave i should roll bak and read i guess ..

dont type ill read up

cool glad thats fixed

[indigo cape]

yeah the train thing was annoying me thought it was just borked until monday 🙂

[exotic moat]

so far how much advantage do the dedicated servers seem to provide versus the early access/ hosting on a machine that is also playing the game? Also any info on how the dedicated server performs on older hardware such as dual core cpu's so long as it has enough ram?

[indigo cape]

no big advantage that I can see except I don't have to run my gpu all night while I'm sleeping and others are playing

[quick mist]

what do yo umean by 'advantage'?

[exotic moat]

in general does running the server while you are also playing reduce fps for your game? My machine is a 4 core 4 thread cpu.

[quick mist]

Generally the point of the dedicated server is to run it on a different host from the one upon which you run the client.

I imagine connecting to a local dedicated server is probably less performant than just running the game and doing normal multiplayer

[exotic moat]

does running the regular server generaly reducs fps for the person who is running it? Specificaly on lower end hardware such as 4 core 4 thread cpus?

[fluid turret]

the game is not very CPU heavy, how much ram do you have?

[slim spoke]

u should get slightly more fps cause ur taking work load off the cpu time of the game

so it can keep higher fps

[fluid turret]

Sanctum do you intend to be such a troll so much?

Its actually funny the answers you give

cause they make no sense

[slim spoke]

if u take the server out of hte game cycles then those cycles in game are used for game

game suffers mid-late on fps cause it cant keep up with the work

[fluid turret]

He is running server and client on the same pc

[slim spoke]

but the comp doesnt work better cause the server load is still on cpu

[trim flicker]

game is mostly gpu bound, so cpu cycles don't really matter unless you're on celeron...

[slim spoke]

yes but server is separated process then

not on same cpu cycles

not sharing with game

[trim flicker]

if you have 4 core processor with 8 threads, game will use probably half of them anyway, while server can use other half

[slim spoke]

u should explain that to devs then

[quick mist]

you forget that there is some overlap between the server and the client, so running both at once separately means there are plenty of effeciency losses

[slim spoke]

that midtolate game came from them

[trim flicker]

I seen server to only load one core anyway

[slim spoke]

ya didnt say it would run better i just said should get more fps cause it wont lose as much going into midgame

[fluid turret]

with no vehicles yup

minimal cpu without stuff like the mega smart vehicle AI running 24/7 into poles

[slim spoke]

ya 1 core 1 thread til they fix it

[quick mist]

maybe stop routing the vehicles into poles

[slim spoke]

bogdan noted it and said was in works of fixing

[trim flicker]

It's Halloween, we need Ghost vehicles and poles is the only way

[quick mist]

fair point

[slim spoke]

oh ya that 4core lol

tell the server to use the last core

game uses first 3

just to give ya a bit of advantage

then if htey expand it to 2 or so can add one above

[trim flicker]

More curious at which CPU speed server will reach it's performance cap, all server CPUs are at around 3GHz per core, quite a bit slower than i7s

[slender idol]

I have one on an i9 server, waiting for the client to push it hard 😛

[exotic moat]

i have an old 4 core 4 thread cpu with 8 gig of ram. i would like to play multiplayer just on my lan. Am i likely to see a performance improvemnt in my games fps if I move the server to another older machine on my lan?

[slender idol]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/617a6890831c8520523547ae please upvote this so we can get a save directory implemented ASAP!! 🙂

[slender idol]

A very minor improvement is likely. Depending on world/save size and complexity

[exotic moat]

ok thanks for info

[trim flicker]

No saves should be in AppData anyway

[slim spoke]

dedis will get the fancy stuff once they got them workin good.. we just need to abuse them and let them keep workin away on them

[versed merlin]

I haven’t run dedicated unreal-engine servers since UE2 (UT 2k3/2k4). This should be…. “fun” 😄

[marble berry]

anyone know if there's an RCON for the servers or some way for me to send a command to it to do an auto-save every 10 minutes?

crashes and constant updates are causing rollbacks.

[slim spoke]

have to script something to use the save cmd

or use some appthing

[marble berry]

that's not hard, but how do I send a cmd to it?

is it RCON?

[slim spoke]

from game

there is a console

send to the window

lol

i dont kow what u know

[marble berry]

true. I used that to make a save once, but I need to do it when the game isn't running

[slim spoke]

u could even put a repeat timer hting on server that just puts cmd in and hits enter

like having it repeat a button to grind stuff

[marble berry]

looks like LinuxGSM does have a console, but I need to script this somehow and put it in cron

[zinc totem]

What is the method for updating the dedicated server when you are running it through SteamCMD? I figured I would just run the install command again and it would overwrite with the new files, but it seems like it wiped out the save in the process.

[slim spoke]

use install cmd again

it doesnt update it just gets whole thing

might backup ur configs though just incase

[zinc totem]

Yep, figured that out the hard way 😛

Is the safe method of stopping the server on windows Ctrl-C?

[fickle zinc]

Server crashed on Firing Ammunition from Rebar gun. https://gist.github.com/wcomartin/68a5d119d713f9b0d579de5efb52aec7

[marble berry]

the rebar gun bug has been reported

not sure how long it'll take to get that fixed, but it sucks. going to be all melee for me I guess

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/6178f324831c852052353029 FYI and upvote it plesae

lol. is this Swedish, a coding mistake, or some intentional funny stuff from the devs?

[slim spoke]

a typo

[subtle sundial]

all three probably

[fluid turret]

someone mentioned it before, I'd say funny buissness

[marble berry]

seems interesting they messed them both up, if that's the case.

yeah. my thoughts too

[slim spoke]

its old person typing lol

fingers landed in wrong order ahhah

[fluid turret]

honestly in a non serious dev culture, making a typo and making it a consistent thing and applying it to other words is not unheard of

[slim spoke]

long as its all the way is it really a typo

lol

[fluid turret]

especially since its logs

[slim spoke]

kids get to make words and stuff up

[marble berry]

true. I've noticed that a lot with linux commands too. I mean, even Google is spelled wrong

[vestal yarrow]

There a fix for signs resetting to default "shennanigans"?

[slim spoke]

#patch-notes

[muted magnet]

sorry if this has been asked already, but has anyone had luck uploading save files to dedicated servers? seems even with the save files in the correct SaveGames folder, it still doesn't seem to let me do anything in the Server Manager other than create a new session. the Manage Saves tab just always says "under construction"

[lofty slate]

Try changing the session name to the saved game name and should load the saved game.

[muted magnet]

thanks, i'm currently trying to do some file renaming, seeing how that turns out

that worked, thanks @lofty slate 🙂

[fluid prawn]

No config being generated on my server so far, can someone please share a default config file?

[nova swallow]

Nice

Just seeing if the servers work at all for me on my desktop then setuping up on a my homelab

[fluid turret]

How much ram you got?

[nova swallow]

only 16 in my desktop but more on my server

and im getting more for my server anway

server currently has 24gb installed with about 10 gb free

[exotic drum]

Is there a setting somewhere that causes you to lose everything when you die? We're not getting any death crates on our dedicated server.

[fluid turret]

Linux on your server? If so I highly recommend using LinuxGSM for easy setup and maintenance.
https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Automated_Solutions

[fluid turret]

No but you can use a save editor

[nova swallow]

linux is on my server and I will look into that as long as i can run it under a proxmox lxc container im fine

[slim spoke]

your triggering offline mode and your inventory is in bodies u played on b4 .. they are wehre u left them

just have to beat til dead

or if u went off an edge then the death crate is at last ground u touched .. so if u hit a cliff falling in the pit its down in there

[exotic drum]

No, we've experimented right next to our base. You die and hit right-click to respawn, no crate, no body, nothing.

Even did it with my buddy standing next to me. The revive option works, but if you respawn you just lose everything with no crate.

[slim spoke]

wow hmmm

verify files

maybe backup and reinstall host

sounds like ue just said screw it taking weekend off

lol

also bug site post if u havent

[fluid prawn]

Will this work if I put it in the server config folder? Tired of countless restarts and the server is already 4/4

[zenith nimbus]

That should work, I used:
[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=10
Or at least, that's what is set with Nitrado

[slim spoke]

How to Increase Dedicated Player Limit

Currently, dedicated servers do not generate config files, so you will need to create your own as below:

Replicate Game.ini with the
[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
MaxPlayers=X

Line in it, where X == the number of players.

Place it in
Windows
FactoryGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer
Linux
FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer

c&p of old post

[fluid prawn]

Alright, and so it's clear; does this directory look correct? steamapps\common\SatisfactoryDedicatedServer\FactoryGame\Saved\Config

[slim spoke]

bring it back up for others to ref ...

[zenith nimbus]

I think you should use a capital 'G'

[slim spoke]

add the OS-Server and drop in

i would guess though on windows its in the place where saves are

so they could reuse folders

[fluid turret]

when I downloaded the tool it came with config files, maybe cause it was on windows

[slim spoke]

not sure lol

i grabbed someones post for that paste

[fluid prawn]

I'll put it on both folders just in case

[slim spoke]

well u could try one then move it if not

so u find where to do so u dont dupe all the time

all installs are in all diff places and thats a system call for the devs in save area

%localappdata%

[fluid prawn]

All my save data are stored under AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server from the server

[slim spoke]

yup

[fluid prawn]

so I guess that's the folder it's using

[patent zinc]

[worn talon]

anyone know how to get satisfactory dedicated servers to show up if i dont own the game on steam? Not sure how to make it appear in my library if I dont own it

[gentle thorn]

It's a known issue. Use SteamCMD for now

[worn talon]

I thought the known issue was for those that had satisfactory on steam and it not showing up

[gentle thorn]

Supposedly that's fixed, but for non-owners it's an ongoing thing

[fluid prawn]

@slim spoke Worked

8 is the max limit

[worn talon]

ok thanks

[slim spoke]

congrats

[granite bough]

Does anyone know how to reset a dedicated server? I have forgotten the password to my dedicated server

[fluid prawn]

FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames and delete the file named ServerSettings.xxxxx

[gentle thorn]

heh, was playing around with the console and typed exit. Server shut down

[granite bough]

https://i.imgur.com/HbSupBA.png

I never created a world, so a game never was created

[gentle thorn]

Are all the ports UDP or are some of them TCP?

[slim spoke]

udp

[cursive zenith]

Is there a bug currently where trains simply don't work? (autopilot)

Seems like it thinks the train is in the middle of nowhere?

[balmy pier]

i have that same problem

but my game and server wont update

?

is that wierd how can i check which one is outdated

[slender idol]

Try validating the dedicated server and game files?

[balmy pier]

ok

[worn talon]

I set up my server through steam...but I don't see any information on what my server address is. Is this in an obvious location? Sorry. Not tech savy

[slender idol]

If your server is on your pc, it will be your IP address

[worn talon]

oh. okay then. thanks

[slender idol]

Locally it’ll be a 192.168 address, over the internet you’d have to Google it

[worn talon]

perfect. I got it going now. thanks. is everyone's port going to be the same? the 15777? or what is the point of that specific port number?

[velvet abyss]

afaik only one thing can use a given port so games/programs/etc generally pick one thats not used by something else

[worn talon]

ah gotcha

[slender idol]

Yeah that’s essentially it. Think of it like a door that only one program can use at a time.

[worn talon]

i appreciate the help.

[cursive zenith]

I managed to identify three issues, not sure if specific to dedicated servers but I don't see a lot of people complaining about trains so I think it fits the channel, if anyone can confirm any of the findings:

• Trains don't go over 30MW if a player is riding them when auto-pilot is ON
• Trains can't pathfind to stations that had their name changed (ie: if you change from the default/generated name, that station will not work)
• Trains can't dock, they reach the station and get stuck in a permanent docking state
  • I noticed trains don't seem to change to the next station in the timetable after a docking is "complete", but could be because of the bug above since it may think it's still docking.

[torn hull]

you can also use "localhost" if the server is running on your pc

[slender idol]

Or 127.0.0.1

Thing is you can see your IP, people might not know what local host is, either way without discovery it’s not the best scenario

[velvet abyss]

1. yes 2) not certain but i stopped changing the names out of superstition 3) it's mostly miss but sometimes hit. right now my 2 car train has been automatically docking the first car fine today

[cursive zenith]

I've opened a report on the QA site with all info I have, thanks for confirming 👍🏻

[frosty gale]

Has anyone gotten Floor Holes to work on Dedicated Servers yet? When trying to place the second Conveyor Belt, I just get the message that an identical building is already built here...

[velvet abyss]

i gave up on them and just clipped through the foundations with the conveyors

[frosty gale]

So essentially "That's the neat part, you don't"

[velvet abyss]

as of right now, unfortunately

[frosty gale]

Back to using Conveyor Walls, I suppose

[undone zenith]

How did you get others to connect to your server? Do they use your external ip for server address? You open up and ports manually?

[fair sierra]

Satisfactory docker server: shorturl.at/begyQ

Port forward your router to the local IP address of your server for port, query port and beacon - then people can connect using your external IP

[dawn path]

Are there on a dedicated server multiple hubs so for every player one or one main hub like in coop?

[marble berry]

does anyone know where the dedicated server puts save files? my /FactoryGame/Saved/ doesn't have SaveGames

oh. here it is. strange place to put it. .config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames

[main void]

@dawn path second option

[loud sandal]

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

[dawn path]

Thank you

[frosty gale]

Does anyone here run Opnsense? I just can't get the server to show online despite all the necessary ports forwarded, NAT reflection on, and ports allowed via ufw on the server itself. Running a pterodactyl setup on Ubuntu 20.04

[trim flicker]

Firewall on device that hosts the server itself?

[bronze apex]

How do I get satisfactory dedicated server on steam (the tool) I am using epic

[knotty stratus]

Anyone else have issues grabbing Mycelia from caves on a Dedi Server ?

[leaden grotto]

Channel desc

[frosty gale]

yes

[timid jacinth]

Do we have a server providers list?

[river sand]

Is there a command to stop the server? Solved - quit, stop, exit Shuts down the FactoryServer.exe service

@timid jacinth I am using Nitrado, I use them for space engineers and Ark servers, (Ark Server is being changed to Satisfactory)

[austere mural]

How would I upload a save to the server? It says under construction for me on it?

[timid jacinth]

specs?

[ashen sentinel]

just buy a vps and host your own

[timid jacinth]

i heard vps are oversold

also i am from asia so expansive server

[ashen sentinel]

try singapore ovh

[timid jacinth]

ok

[frosty gale]

I wonder if machine still running if no one are on server? Or will it stop?

[ashen sentinel]

no it wont

[frosty gale]

Only if player are online and near? or doesn't it matter? Even when im far away, it will still product right?

[timid jacinth]

a vpn will be more expansive than a server provider

for 2 vcpu and 4 gb ram it is costing me

10 usd?

[ashen sentinel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[river sand]

@frosty gale There is an option for the server to continue to run the game tick when players are not in game (can be found in server settings)

[frosty gale]

Thanks.

[stray bone]

What is the default ports i need to open when I havent speficied any specific ports?

[austere mural]

Does anyone have an issue where its not creating death boxes?

[vocal jungle]

15777, 15000, 7777

[river sand]

Depends what you want to pay

[reef ivy]

how do i fix server or game client being wrong version ?

[stray bone]

@vocal jungle All UDP?

[thorn bone]

@frosty gale did you get it working?

[wet flower]

HI Guys,
I know here were a discussion ~2days ago about the savegame command not working.
we've our server now running on gportal but the save command seems not to work.
when typing the savename in "" it tells me its not a valid save name.
If i drop the quotes, it says Saving game to "
and in the filesystem I can't find anything.

[frosty gale]

Yeah the firewall that runs on the os is allowing it through, and the ports are forwarded on opnsense

[frosty gale]

No I haven't yet. I can connect locally fine but it just will not expose to the internet

[thorn bone]

yea same

my friend can see the server. but when he tries joining. it gives an error

[frosty gale]

u don't need the command, just use escape => save game in the menu

[wet flower]

okay thats a solution as well^^
but I maybe also figured out why it wasn't working for me.
the command seems to be only working when someone is connected to the server

[fluid prawn]

You don't need to manually save, server does an autosave every 5mins or when anyone crashes/leaves

[thorn bone]

all required ports are opened. i even tried to open all ports 1-65xxx. still not working. something is weird. i can join locally

[wet flower]

I know but the Server only saves 3 autosaves, only 2 actually since the last one is overwritten when the last player quits

[fluid prawn]

May I know why you'd need more than one save? As long as it's periodically backed up there's nothing to worry about

[meager summit]

@thorn bone I haven't read everything cos mobile, but have you tried looking at windows firewall and/AV?

[fluid prawn]

Some routers require more setup than simple port forwarding, mainly NAT types and firewalls

[austere mural]

I have a weird one on the server at the moment. When I die it doesnt create a death box and all items are lost. Is there a setting for this?

[thorn bone]

i'm runing in unraid with docker

[meager summit]

Ah I'm of no use then xD

[fluid prawn]

Known bug

[thorn bone]

i'm running an ark server just fine trough the same firewall. (which i just checked is using the same 7777 port that also refuses to be changed.....)

[austere mural]

Ah ok thanks. I worried it would be this haha

[wet flower]

to save in a specific point in time (before going on an excessive journey.) or having saves before specific events, just in case.
you know servers are highly experimental, so better save than sorry

[fluid prawn]

Yeah we have the same issue on our server as well

[proper mist]

I can't switch to friends only, it's always private?!

[fluid prawn]

Still, not all games behave the same way on a network. Some are more sensitive than others, and this is still experimental so you gotta give it all "permissions" and rules

[thorn bone]

yea i'm going to turn off the ark rules and allow all to satisfactory (as a test ofc)

[reef ivy]

"the server and game versions are not compatible" i guess i dont know how to update the server...

[frosty gale]

with the same command u used to install it

[slender idol]

If you need a server in Singapore, we host them

[reef ivy]

i thought i just re-ran that 😛 im guessing im screwing something up

[slender idol]

They are oversold though, thats the business model

Especially OVH...

[timid jacinth]

how much?

[slender idol]

Unlimited slots, $25p/m AUD + applicable tax, no slot limit, control panel, instant setup

Link is in my profile if you want to have a look.

[thorn bone]

ok i got it working 😄

[fluid prawn]

Nice, what was the issue?

[thorn bone]

i forgot that i had the ark server running the 7777 port aswell. as i did try to change it yesterday but that didnt end up working so i set it back

sooo yea XD

[slender idol]

I'm currently running around on a 10 slot server and she is smooooooooth

[fluid prawn]

Oh lol

[gilded orchid]

i dont even know what i'm trying to do here ?

[frosty gale]

23 Euro for a Satis Srever per month? thats quite expensive

[slender idol]

23 euro?

Try 16

[frosty gale]

17,80 without premier support

[slender idol]

Yeah that'd be it, which for Satisfactory realistically it's plug and play, not much support required

[frosty gale]

nitrado has them for 9,99 per month

[slender idol]

I'm not Nitrado 😛

[frosty gale]

ye but as a customer it is normal to check prices 😉

[slender idol]

Oh for sure, but if you ask my clients they're pretty sure we're worth what we charge 🙂

Especially with no slot limit.

[foggy agate]

are we back to advertising services here 😉 😄

[frosty gale]

well ye, i didn't say your services are bad 😉

[slender idol]

Not gonna go that far, but I'll field some questions lol

[fluid prawn]

Well Nitrado 10 slots are way more cheaper and run off business-grade servers at 10$ a month

[slender idol]

Business-grade is a synonym for anything with a Xeon or Epyc, which aren't always the best for all games.

[foggy agate]

also there is no need for that on a game server 😄

[slender idol]

We run off Core i7-i9 servers based on need and run 100p FPS's that Nitrado cant 😛

So...

We're moreso for the person who wants 100% of their server at 100% performance, not the random server for 2 people. Market niche.

[frosty gale]

we should keep the topic on how to run dedicated servers 😉 otherweise this will be an endless discussion

[slender idol]

True, true.

I pop in and tell people to open ports and pop out again, really need Dyno to respond to those with a preemptive thing

[foggy agate]

wouldn't say so, my server are running on epyc too and are totally fine with 100 Notes on it. 🙂

[slender idol]

I prefer better than fine, but it is what it is. Everyone does things differently.

[foggy agate]

I also tested on Ryzen 5000 but with no real performance boost. Got like 5-10% more performance overall. Thats not worth it to pay more for switches and power....

[slender idol]

I'd digress that when you're doing the kinda stuff we're doing, especially with UE4 titles, our stuff is worth what you pay for it. But it is what it is, Satisfactory might net great results on an Epyc, they're great chips. Just not for everything

[bleak salmon]

for some reason my server doesnt start up normally, it shows this and then some other things it normally shouldnt. my friend cant join because of this

[slender idol]

Not really the place for discussion though

[slender idol]

Thats normal

[frosty gale]

those are just warnings

[bleak salmon]

and those are the last lines

[slender idol]

You checked your ports are open?

[fluid prawn]

Port forward and change NAT type to open if your friend can't join you

[bleak salmon]

idk it worked yesterday

ports are forwarded

[slender idol]

Did your IP change?

[bleak salmon]

hmm ima look it up

[reef ivy]

how can i check the version of my server? keeps saying wrong version. but i keep running the update .. very confused 😛

[slender idol]

Did you run with validate at the end before +exit?

[bleak salmon]

it did. im gonna see if it works now

[slender idol]

That'll do it. Easy fix

[bleak salmon]

ty

[reef ivy]

i copied the code from the wiki and pointed it what i thought was the right install location ...im have never tried to set up local server before . so i know its me 🙂

[foggy agate]

you might wanna use dynamic DNS for that, so you don't have that problem. 🙂

[gilded orchid]

okay so from what i'm seeing and trying to do this is bs and a wase of ppl's time

[frosty gale]

never just copy & paste commands from a wiki, try to understand them before...

[peak shadow]

hey did anyone else rent a nitrado and has trouble starting up? using epic client, server shows status "This server appears to be offline" despite nitrado dashboard telling me its running

[foggy agate]

I had the same issue yesterday, that the upgrade process won't really upgrade. Had to do a reinstall and everything was fine. 🙂

[foggy agate]

contact nitrado about that. 🙂

[peak shadow]

allright

[reef ivy]

i was just going to try and run it local for fun .. but i really would prefer to pay someone to host for me. i work in IT and i hate messing with my own stuff.

[meager summit]

The Dedi is super easy to run locally, don't have to port forward anything

[reef ivy]

probably like a chef that goes home and has a peanut butter and jam sandwich ..

youd think it was easy but i am finding ways to mess it up 🙂

[meager summit]

And somehow it would be RAWWWW

[gilded orchid]

this is bs and trash

[frosty gale]

you are already in a steamcmd

u started steamcmd while you where already in steamd

[gilded orchid]

i dont even know what your saying 😮‍💨

[merry gale]

"this is bs and trash"

Translation:
"I am confused"

[hidden rock]

program cant start itself

[fluid prawn]

Or just use the dedicated server that you can download from steam

[gilded orchid]

yeah not showing up in steam

[reef ivy]

i dont see that option in steam .. a bug im guessing

[foggy agate]

you should use the right number buddy. There is a missing 0 in the end 😉

[frosty gale]

Try to learn how steamcmd works, or just use a hoster and rent a server

[foggy agate]

hahahaha thats what I think 99% of the time reading stuff here 😄

[frosty gale]

or use the steam client gui version, thats already available

[gilded orchid]

i'm not m,ade of money i'm on disability

[slender idol]

I caved. It's now $20 AUD 😛 so 13eur

Capitalism works, don't ever tell me otherwise

[foggy agate]

You missed just a 0 at the end of your last command. Thats everything 😄

[slender idol]

There's plenty of guides on SteamCMD out there, pretty easy to pick up 🙂

[gilded orchid]

i'll give a nuther try

[shadow sequoia]

amp by cubecoders did a great job of automating the server setup if you're looking for something easy

[reef ivy]

anyone know any canadian companies hosting ?

[foggy agate]

you need to update 1690800 not 169080 😄

[frosty gale]

now we just need a web map generator for the decicated servers

[foggy agate]

just look it up on google with location in toronto 🙂

[unreal socket]

out of curiosity, if I get 30 fps in my factory (CPU bound von a 5900x), will the performance be better if I run the map on server, even if it has a worse CPU? Did anyone test such things already?

[gilded orchid]

so here's my question i have the game on epic well it work though steam?

[foggy agate]

it should be a bit better. 🙂

[foggy agate]

yes. Its just the file hoster for that server. 🙂

you need to install experimental from epic to have the server browser.

[gilded orchid]

k how uummm....hang on let me think on what i was going to say

[foggy agate]

just try it out. 🙂

[gilded orchid]

yeah that i have both installeed

[unreal socket]

even if i just run it on an intel i7 quadcore from a few years ago? 😅

[reef ivy]

dont see anything in canada or toronto. i should contact my minecraft hosters .. see if they want some more of my money 🙂

[foggy agate]

CPU is not important right now. One core is more then enought. but there are many issues still, so be aware it might crash the server.

[foggy agate]

prob a good idea. If not use a hoster with server locations in toronto and set it up yourself. Its super easy. 🙂

[unreal socket]

wait, how is the CPU not important? doesnt the factory fully run on the server? I thought the PC just needs to the rendering part then and the other calculations are done on the server as it can keep running while nobody is on it?

[foggy agate]

it just uses one core more or less, so its not that imprtant.

[reef ivy]

ram more important ?

[slender idol]

It's a single threaded process.

[foggy agate]

yes the actual calculation stuff is run by the server.

[foggy agate]

not really, as long as you have enought.

[slender idol]

Doesn't mean its not important, it just means that high clockspeed/ipc are more important than more cores

[unreal socket]

🤔 damn that means all the refinieries are stealing the performance by all the other calculations needed for them 😅

[slender idol]

A small-ish factory on a 10900k with 5 people on uses about 63% of 1 thread. So not all that much, but it's not nothing

[foggy agate]

I would recommend to just try it out. If you see problems report it to the QA Site (https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/)

[unreal socket]

yeah i would just need find the dongle to plug my laptop into the LAN so that it can run the server

[frosty gale]

are explosives not working on servers?

[foggy agate]

you can look it up on https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ if you can't find a thread about that, you should post one with screenshots and details.

[frosty gale]

@thorn bone did you use port-forwarding in pfsense or an outbound NAT rule?

[thorn bone]

NAT rule

[frosty gale]

okay I will try that instead

is there a way to change the name of a running session?

[nimble peak]

ok was playing around and made a localhost test server. now i cant get it to connect to a diffrent server ie change the host. anyone know how to get it to go back to the default state. ive tried uninstalling and deleteing all the associated files but it still only wants to connect to the localhost test

[gusty mesa]

Does anyone else experience when you move fast with the blade runners the game crashes when you're on a dedicated server? OR mass dismantling things?

[slender idol]

Mass dismantle is a known issue

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/

All the QA stuff is in there, go check 🙂

[gusty mesa]

Seems some has had the issue but when they equip em

[acoustic gulch]

So the slug reappearing bug is still around I see

[hushed garnet]

how can i extract savefiles from a linux server?

[foggy agate]

.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames

in the user directory of the user running the server.

for example if the user would be steam:
/home/steam/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames

you can use tab to autocomplete. 🙂

[hushed garnet]

yerh but how can i make a copy to local machine?

[foggy agate]

via sftp. 🙂

use winscp or something like that.

connect to server like you would on ssh and then browser in the directory.

[ashen sentinel]

what about ddos protection ?

[slender idol]

Wouldn’t run a gameserver without it

[ashen sentinel]

which one are you using

[slender idol]

We have multiple providers each with varying capability, but it’s also not something we go into detail about for obvious reasons

Some people like to prod a little too hard haha

[ashen sentinel]

can you come in DM's ?

[sleek ruin]

is it possible to reset or change the admin password?

[foggy agate]

no

[sleek ruin]

x.x

what do I do in case I forgot it then?

[turbid ridge]

Reinstall

[foggy agate]

you need to go to /home/YOUR_USER/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames

there is a file called serversettings.15777

delete this and restart the server.

[foggy agate]

now you need to reinitialise the server in satisfactory.

[mortal crystal]

hey i have a question, i build a dedicatet server on satisfactory, and i cant invite my friend because it says i am in a private session, so i go on the session settings and make it freidns only but it doesnt accept it, how can i change it ?

[peak wagon]

hey guys anyone getting this

Could not bind to port '15777'. Server cannot continue initialization.

i cant get the server to initialise

[lofty latch]

something else is probably using it

[peak wagon]

hmmm weird and interesting, thanks ill try looking into ti

hmmm nope don thtink thats it

[lofty latch]

Windows or Linux?

[foggy agate]

sudo netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN

on Linux

[peak wagon]

windwos

[lofty latch]

netstat -an | find /I "15777"

[leaden grotto]

So

Step one

Install linux

[peak wagon]

😄 lol

[foggy agate]

Get-Process -Id (Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort YourPortNumberHere).OwningProcess

[lofty latch]

not a bad first step - this game seems to work a lot better under Linux

[leaden grotto]

Has anyone tried a ds on wsl?

[lofty latch]

yes, it works fine - although probably liable to some of the same issues

the way that the game automatically increments ports by 1 when they're not available causes all kinds of confusion

[lofty latch]

did you specify -multihome?

[peak wagon]

me ? no?

[lofty latch]

hmm

any 3rd party firewall software?

[peak wagon]

nope

[lofty latch]

steam client running?

[peak wagon]

ive run valehim servers on here. took me 1 min to setup.

[lofty latch]

different engine - Valheim is Unity, Satisfactory is Unreal

[peak wagon]

yes. as in steam the app?

[gilded orchid]

yep i'm dune with this thank i'll just dump this s*** and delete it

[lofty latch]

yes - make sure its not running at the point you try and start the server

[peak wagon]

rofl bitter much

[gilded orchid]

no i'm not going to be diging into my post on my computer then diging into my modom and missing with the ports on it

ports*

[lofty latch]

You don't get to host servers at home if you're not prepared to port forward

[peak wagon]

thats all part of running dedicated servers.

[lofty latch]

It's a requirement that you're able to do that

The alternative is to rent a VPS somewhere and run it that way

You might even get away with running Satisfactory on one of the free Oracle ones

[peak wagon]

so im getting this, but steam is closed.

[lofty latch]

check if it's listening now though

using the command you used earlier

[lofty latch]

aye so try connecting

[peak wagon]

even though im getting all this stuff?

[gilded orchid]

and with all the problems i'm seeing in here this ant worth the headack

[lofty latch]

yes - ignore all the errors and warnings

[lofty latch]

Then rent a server 🤷‍♂️

[gilded orchid]

lol pass

my friends and just join wen i'm in the game

[frank stag]

Are there really only two console commands? Savegame and quit?

[lofty latch]

yup

[frank stag]

After using the quit command, my server reverted to ownerless

and I had to claim it again

And now it won't load the save.

[gilded orchid]

2nt problem i dont know where to even pull up my computers port number anywase

[foggy agate]

didn't had that problem 😄 in the reinitialise, you have set the session-id correct.

[peak wagon]

right ok ive claimed the server! thanks. I used 127.0.0.1 instead of my pub ip, is that ok?

[foggy agate]

then prob. dedicated servers arn't a thing for you right now. Or use a gameserver hoster, there is np with that.

[frank stag]

Yes, I used the same session name as before

[foggy agate]

YES! 🙂

[peak wagon]

boom

[peak wagon]

you're a fkn legend mate, thanks

[lofty latch]

np 👍

[foggy agate]

you just need to give a friend or someone who wants to play with you the external IP of the server. 🙂

[frank stag]

Where are the server's games saved?

[foggy agate]

/home/YOUR_USER/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames

on linux
