I can't get the container to run. No idea what the problem is.

For a Windows server, you definitely have to forward the ports on the Router and you almost definitely have to open the firewall ports on the computer running the server

Well rolling back to a previous autosave doesn't work it still loads the most recent one even if you tell it to load an old one.

So if I'm using the steamgui for the dedicated server, I open the correct ports on my router and firewall, launch the tool and then put my IP into the 'add server' in the satisfactory manager?
rose valley
IP or domain, if you have one available. I'm saying this cause I have seen some people claiming it only supports IP.
warm canyon
Where do I see domain?
quick mist
The only game I've seen in the past decade that did not support hostnames was Valheim, and that was very quickly patched (:

You likely only have an IP, monkey. If you had a domain, you would have known.

No more easier or difficult; it's a completely separate thing

I would say its a pretty easy system at the moment and there are multiple ways to do it. If you just want a quick and easy multiplayer you don't need a dedi server - If you want a dedi server without the hastle there are hosting services offering it pre-configured for you - all in all not too complicated.
rose valley
This stuff is much less intimidating then it looks like at first.
timid shard
I just canโt do the ports on my router as itโs my mums details

I think people are expecting entirely way too much out of experimental dedicated servers....this is like bleeding edge at this point and requires a bit more effort
quick mist
Honestly the servers are pretty low-effort to stand up
run binary, forward ports, done
the rest is just dressing
calm saffron
Well, some problems are basically intractable - if you can't do port-forwarding, there's nothing Satisfactory can do to help.
rose valley
Unfortunately we can't make it easier than this. Networking is networking, no matter how much we wanted to make it easier

To be honest ... besides those bumps like -multihome and -(Game)Port the server does run pretty flawlessly. What we are currently do is building up experience, helping @rose valley with our feedback and just enjoying servers to be existing.

as far as i know if you tweak the network setting on the server it wont matter inless the people connecting do the saem

Not crazy savvy with all of this but i have made sure the corrected Ports have been addressed. Through the Firewall and Router. Thanks!

Despite the scary red coloring, those warnings can be ignored.. they should still be able to connect to the server wtihout any issue

Interesting, I have tried to connect and im getting messages in game that the server itself is not "Online"

That log looks healthy: the server appears to be online and waiting for people to connect.
we can do some quick tests though to double-check this. Just to verify: is the server running on Linux or Winows?
glass quarry
has anyone running the server on Unraid?
quick mist
okay. In a new PowerShell window, run the command Get-NetUDPEndpoint. In the results, you should see listeners on ports 7777, 15000, and 15777
If you do, good! That shows the server software is listening for connections.

good. Perfect.
Next step: if you look at the Wiki, you will see a command to open those ports on your firewall. Make sure your Powershell window is one with Admin privileges, and run that command

its running internally fine, the gameplay however is another story ๐

There are a few rough edges yet, yeah, but it's pretty good honestly
sullen radish
vehicles/enemies?
quick mist
netcode is mostly fine but there are issues with vehicles and with belts disappearing (but still carrying materiel)
up until yesterday there was an issue where firing the rebar projector crashed the server
fossil garden
I had issues with vehicles ( trains visually glitching ), and placing belts getting out of sync with me unable to make some connections happen
unique spoke
Enemies sometimes just appear in front of u, des render distance and loading times of chunks are a bit low for now, but otherwise it's fine
fossil garden
and yeah loading distant stuff takes a bit
while the render stuff/distant stuff is all right, the belts is quite making stuff unplayable
quick mist
"unplayable" is relative
it's not like all belts are immediately invisible all the time
sometimes you'll see that some belts might disappear
stuff like that
fossil garden
ye when you building having a invisible belt right in front of you with broken connection is quite gamebreaking ๐
while you not build it's w/e

wandering away ~100m and back will sometimes make invisible belts appear

โGame breakingโ would be the rebar gun bug. Invisible conveyor belts are not game breaking. ๐
But I understand what you mean
quick mist
decidedly inconvenient to be sure
fossil garden
In a game that's about building, when a game doesn't let you build something is not considered game breaking ? :<
I am not whining it should be fixed instantly or anything, but yeah for me its likely go back to local if it keeps happening
quick mist
how're things looking, Steel?
versed merlin

If the game was not allowing you to build anything anywhere, then youโd be right, it would absolutely be gamebreaking!! But because there is a glitch or bug in one aspect of the game that stops you from building in a specific location, that isnโt necessarily considered โgame breakingโ. Itโs absolutely inconvenient and irritating, however! ๐

Thereโs instructions on the wiki for increasing the player limit. Thereโs no reason you couldnโt reduce the number of players using the same method.

Read the wiki. You will need to edit one of the serverโs configuration files.

3 of my friends playing on the server
If three of your friends can get into the server and you cannot, that is probably a "your client" problem and not a "server" problem. That said, let's see what we can do. Where are you relative to the server?
quick mist
More specifically, would you be connecting to the server via the internet or is the server in the same physical building as you are?
cunning lichen
internet
quick mist
have you tried removing and re-adding the server in the Server Manager?
cunning lichen
yup
8 times
different ports etc etc
disabled my firewall just incase temporarily and to no avail
quick mist
interesting. Would you mind if I see if I can replicate the problem? I'd need the server's address.
whole fox
@sacred peak Oh now the Game.ini file was there, thanks for your help
Are console commands directly in the server window disabled or am I missing something?

Console commands only work in the Server Manager though the game client at present

if you do not specify, it binds to all IP interfaces, not just 4 or 6, and certainly not just loopback

that would be ::1

You need to open the menu, go to server manager, select the server you want to enter a Console command to, and then select the console tab. Then you will be able to enter console commands.
However, there are very few known commands currently. The ones that we know of for sure, are listed in the wiki.

they either come with it as a set of default or they are created on first run... if you look at the error message its not that it cannot find the file it cannot write to the file which actually implies the parent directories don't exist

hey all, reeeealy new to this dedicated server stuff. my question is , its sounds like i need to use an external program (e.g pterodactyl, vultr etc ) to run/host a dedicated server and use the "satisfactory dedicated server"program in combination to successfully be able to play with other people?
i've managed to configure everything with steamCMD and "satisfactory dedicated sever" and create and play a "localhost" game, but it wont let other people join, it says the session id is " sessioninvalid"
spiral root
You don't need anything like pterodactyl / vultr...
People shouldn't be joining from a Session ID they should be joining through the "Server Manager" on the main menu
They can only join if they are running Experimental Branch not the Early Access.
bold plinth
it took me a while to figure everything out for the dedicated server minus the ports and stuff and more so on generating the config which I learned after the third day of exp release

You don't need anything like pterodactyl / vultr...

hasty gust
can you have other people join a "localhost" created server?
bold plinth
when you first connect it auth the server and creates the world
spiral root
Yes you just need to make sure the ports are open and they would need to connect to the external IP
hasty gust
what would be the external IP?
slim spoke
internet ip
hasty gust
ahh
slim spoke
but if ur on network with it .. use lan ip
spiral root
You on your PC or a Server pottz?
hasty gust
everything game/sever is on the one PC
slim spoke
127.0.0.1
short blade
the ip reachable from outside your network, aka, not a 192.x.x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 172.x.x.x
slim spoke
ip for localhost
spiral root
So yeah if you want to connect to the server yourself from the game you could just connect to 127.0.0.1
But if you wanted your friends to be able to connect to you then they would need to know your IP.
short blade
if you are connecting to your own machine, you can do localhost
spiral root
If they are on the same local network as you then you could share your internal LAN IP as sanctum mention likely something like 192.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x - however if they are at another location and connecting over the internet (WAN) then you will need to share your external IP.
slim spoke
for friends use external ip or.. open browser and type whatismyip.com and hit enter
hasty gust
yeah copy
spiral root
Though honestly there is little benefit to running the server locally over say just having friends connect via Multiplayer Sessions/Invites as you would still need to keep your PC running whenever you wanted someone else to be able to play and your still using the same resources on your host PC.
Best way to run a Dedicated Server is on dedicated hardware, like a VPS.
hasty gust
yeah im aware of that fact really, its just to really try and provide a smoother experience long term, but i guess it being on the experimental server with heeeaps of bugs kinda contradicts itself hey?
my mate is trying to connect, says his games crashing when he does try to connect?

it has to be first section at top of the ini

Ok, any special launch options?
slim spoke
nope before u5 u had to have it first in the ini in regular game hosted version
its just how the game and engine like it

welcome to microsoft

Azure like the ocean you fantasize throwing Steve Ballmer into

"You mean like Google Cloud?"
"No, I said worse, not comparable but not as successful"
alpine dawn
for compute stuff I just use digital ocean
use o365 for work though
it has its plusses and minuses
quick mist
my workplace is split- it uses O365 for half of its infra and traditional Office for the other half and it's infuriating
whip up a spreadsheet for a report I'm tasked with and it's perfect. send it away and it's all broken because CONCAT() on O365 is CONCATENATE() on standalone for no goddamn reason
and the same thing with a zillion other tools
quick mist
you think middle-managers are likely to even know what 'run this batch file' means much less be able to follow the instruction?
slim spoke
or script something to make 2nd version and send both
slim spoke
make button o365 and one for office
link in script to files
u drop 2 in it makes email and sends
quick mist
it'd get blocked by AD policy. I'm barely able to run my own scripts on my own machine; I can't attach scripts to emails, add macro scripts, or send them over shared mounts
slim spoke
generate 1 version .. script sends email list out .. then converts it and sends out other list
and have it clean up and file them for ya
anyways .. its nice and quiet so things must be running little better tonite

Does anyone know a workaround for this bug?
i tried rebuild (slowly) the station 10 times and even rebuild the carts but i cant get it to work
im playing the latest experimental version on a windows dedicated root server
slim spoke
how long has server been running
gusty grail
i restartet it before posting here
problem before and after restart
or do you mean playtime?
slim spoke
did u take that latest updates for the server
gusty grail
latest update was 12h ago if im right?
slim spoke
ya round that sounds right
gusty grail
yep - that update is installed
slim spoke
not sure lol
gusty grail
hm ๐ฆ
slim spoke
i wonder if some of the belt visuals are actually messing up moving items
or something like that we dont see
wheat hawk
okay, i ended up getting stuck in the hub, and friend tried to dismantle it to get me unstuck; we both crashed simultaneously, the server rebooted and now we have no hub ๐
wheat hawk
he ran off with them before dcing lmao
slim spoke
u cant lose the cube
game drops another if it disappears
if it thinks there isnt one u get a dupe right now sometimes lol
use scim
wheat hawk
scim?

yw enjoy

i hope i dont have to do that again with the unload station ๐

Hey ive joined the Server and my Game crashed while joining and now Im twice in the Game
And all my staff has the "dummy"

what stuff

if you crash out wait about 1 minute until the server realizes you have timed out before reconnecting or you will get a new charater

thank you

Whats the ram that I should have if I want to set one of these up on a raspberry pi?
marsh dawn
Also no ARM builds?
spiral root
Yep, SteamCMD isn't Arm Compatible
slim spoke
what pi u got?
marsh dawn
Maybe if there is a docker image in the future... but I'm pretty sure a pi will struggle nontheless.

Get a NUC and use that for it.

I think you can provision alway free and64 instance too..
spiral root
I think you can provision alway free and64 instance too..
Only A1.Mini which is 1OCPU and 1GB Ram.
solar remnant
Oh, ouch
spiral root
Not enough to run the server where as A1.Flex you can go up to 4OCPU and 24GB Ram.
But only AmpereARM
solar remnant
Yeah, not going to be simple as steamcmd is not compatible either.
spiral root
Yep have read into running QEMU user emulation but it has a performance hit.
solar remnant
It has a 50% performance hit
compact frost
there's no arm compatible binary of the server either so there not being an arm version of steamcmd is kind of moot
solar remnant
I think Unreal Engine can be built for arm too though.
lofty latch
It's much more than a 50% hit, more like 70%
I've got Factorio running on ARM tho, performance is acceptable
solar remnant
But emulation is always just emulation..
foggy agate
It's much more than a 50% hit, more like 70%
is it? It should be around 20-30% normally.
lofty latch
It's 20-30% of normal performance. The performance penalty being about 70-80%
Depends a bit on the application. Kernel calls are native so they're fast.
opaque pine
everytime i run dedi server it crashed everytime.
rose valley
-multihome is not needed any more. Do you have any crash logs?
slim spoke
oops k
opaque pine
-multihome is not needed any more. Do you have any crash logs?
where would i find that?
rose valley
<install dir>/FactoryGame/Saved/Logs/FactoryGame.log
Writing this from memory so it might be inaccurate but it should be close to that.
opaque pine
where? in CMD?
slim spoke
you installed the server to a location in the cmdline
that is place go into the folders he said
foggy agate
where? in CMD?
you use windows right?
opaque pine
yea. im just asking where i put that.
opaque pine
this what ya need?
slim spoke
that should be the saved folder he said
rose valley
That doesn't look like a crash.
slim spoke
or its where the exe is for the server
opaque pine
well i open it, and it closes like a minute later.
i dont even get to type anything
it just. closes.
rose valley
It's not. It's one of those errors that can be ignored. According to that log, the server should be up and running. Perhaps not the right log?
opaque pine
ive tried varifying. ive tried adding the command thingy in properties that jace showed in the vid. and it just closes when ever i open it
i tried running as admin
slim spoke
u got game open?
opaque pine
nope, not satisfactory anyway
slim spoke
check task manager
slim spoke
might be why 2
opaque pine
now i just have NAT Detection failed
foggy agate
now i just have NAT Detection failed
can ignore that
opaque pine
what about EOS SDK analytics disabled
slim spoke
its fine
opaque pine
cause i cant even connec to the server in the game
opaque pine
slim spoke
is server on same comp or lan
opaque pine
same comp
slim spoke
use 127.0.0.1
opaque pine
rose valley
if 127.0.0.1 does not work, try localhost.
opaque pine
ok. localhost worked.
slim spoke
lol ok
slim spoke
might been space after from copying the text
lofty latch
sometimes you get weirdness where localhost resolves exclusively to ::1 rather than 127.0.0.1 which can cause this
rose valley
There are some situations when connecting to 127.0.0.1 does not work whereas ::1 works. Haven't figured out why yet. Doesn't happen on most machines.
lofty latch
My suspicion is that might be the case for machines on networks that are primarily an IPv6 stack with the v4 mapped address space
so all addresses get mapped to their v6 space equivalent
rose valley
That's a lead. So what would that become? ::127.0.0.1?
lofty latch
sec lemme check how that behaves
so if it's done literally then it'll come out as ::ffff:7f00:1 - although I think you're right that ::IPV4 is valid shorthand for this - if the OS is being a clever bastard though it may well just map that directly to ::1
opaque pine
this something i should be worried about?
opaque pine
so if it's done *literally* then it'll come out as ::ffff:7f00:1 - although I th...
guess you was right?
with the ::1
lofty latch
@rose valley ^
rose valley
But that's just the regular IPv6 loopback address. I'd expect that to work fine.
You said you could connect and control the server before. What changed?
lofty latch
ah sorry I misunderstood what he was referring to xD
opaque pine
You said you could connect and control the server before. What changed?
i told it to generate a save
rose valley
And then it showed that spinning thing, telling you it was preparing a game?
opaque pine
for a second ye. then gave me that network error
rose valley
And that was not when you tried to join the game, just staying in the server manager ui?
opaque pine
mhmm, havnt tried joining as it didnt have a world.
rose valley
Okay. Does it show the retry button? Can you retry?
opaque pine
i retried and it let me in
rose valley
Okay. Then it looks like your computer just took too long to connect. I thought I increased the timeout in the last release but it turns out that isn't applied.
opaque pine
wait. what? XD i dont think i need smart plates for the hub. hmmmmmm. XD
ripe mist
Yeah I had that ๐
opaque pine
Okay. Then it looks like your computer just took too long to connect. I thought ...
maybe, or maybe i just have bad internet. which is most likely the case
rose valley
Please report any bugs you find to https://questions.satisfactorygame.com (or upvote already reported ones if any).
trail lichen
wait. what? XD i dont think i need smart plates for the hub. hmmmmmm. XD
Oh, that's if you want to build an additional HUB.
opaque pine
mmm. right. i need smart plates for more hub parts XD
ripe mist
you can build an additional hub now ?
opaque pine
why isnt that a recipe?
slim spoke
no
opaque pine
that would be great for people who want to be in the same save but doing different things. just have the hubs attached to the player.
ripe mist
yeah but how often do you actually need the hub to do things.
opaque pine
to respawn if you die. thats what i was mostly thinking about
especally if you guys are on different ends of the map and dont wanna wait for like. hypertubes or trains to get to your area every time you die
slim spoke
put hub in center of world
ripe mist
You die in Satisfactory ? ๐
opaque pine
hey, its just a QoL thing, its not necsissary.
ripe mist
yeah I know, I am just being facetious sorry ๐

does the trains work on dedicated servers?
saw someone say they can't unload
and load
slim spoke
should

Should. TM

#patch-notes has what they fixed recently
sleek ruin
ok so it's not a common issue
yeah but just wanted to ask if it's a current issue before I start building the trains

how do i load a save ive put into the server folder?

wiki page has the load session cmd

it says to do this to load a save file. but when ever i change the session name it reverts it
slim spoke
sav filename is in parts .. first section is session name
opaque pine
what
lofty latch
huh - the server uses AVX instructions?
slim spoke
u need the session name far as i know
if u changed the name of hte file then u have to remember or look it up
opaque pine
nonono, its a different name, from singleplayer. i put it into the server folder, and when ever i try to change the session name in server settings it doesnt let me,
