[native spruce]

O_O

That sounds...like cancer..

[vague grail]

WSL2 is actually good.

[fervent crow]

that or WSL2 + Fluent terminal .... AMAZING

[native spruce]

Ahhh, I dont have HyperV license on my ESXI blade.

Couldnt do it if I wanted.

[vague grail]

I use the "windows terminal" since it lets you use any shell you want.

[native spruce]

This is good to know though...

Keep that in the back of the bucket rattling in my head for future use.

[fervent crow]

fluent terminal -

[native spruce]

Now that looks fancy.

[vague grail]

looks about the same

[fervent crow]

i just upgraded to win11 but i use to have it with powertools installed. looked so much better. can have CMD, WSL, Powershell, ubuntu all in different tabs.

[vague grail]

Yep. windows terminal does that too

[fervent crow]

yeah thats fluent

thought you just mean the regular CLI

[native spruce]

See im just used to Royal and SecureCRT

[vague grail]

I did. Fluent =/= windows terminal

[native spruce]

Thanks gents, Ima spin this up and see if I can figure it out tomorrow.

If I cant, ill be back 😛

[fervent crow]

enjoy.

[zealous cairn]

not sure the multi-threading is working on the new server build......

or if it is, it isn't going across cores.....

[fervent crow]

i have found it only occasionally

[quick mist]

there's still one primary game thread, but it definitely uses multiple cores with its subthreads when it can.

[slim spoke]

good evening dope

how u loving the patch so far

[zealous cairn]

hmmmm....

[slim spoke]

load server down a little see what it does

[zealous cairn]

not sure how to ahhahaha

its only running the dedicated server

[slim spoke]

ill hop in just to add load

then just build some random stuff like belts to move somethig in a circle

delete ip dm it

they dont want ips posted public

just for some safety

[zealous cairn]

oh, fair enough.....

[quick mist]

so far so good. couple hiccoughs but that's to be expected

[slim spoke]

yup yup

k dm me that and ill spin up the game

ouch ping

lol

its loading so should be showing some load

[wind dove]

Are the dedicated servers all experimental branch right now?

[quick mist]

yes

[wind dove]

Is anyone running one taking more people by any chance, I'm interested in seeing how it plays

[quick mist]

see #looking-for-group-old , that's the place to potentially find servers or other folks to play with

[wind dove]

I'll do that, thanks

[quick mist]

cheers

[alpine relic]

wow, anyone tested it?

not working?

[rich void]

its working...ish. I can see it cycle between cores, but not load balance them evenly.

[alpine relic]

Mostly it stress one single core, but sometimes (hardly) it use all cores.

[quick mist]

It's a game server. it's primarily a single thread, but I assure you given the right stimuli it will happily burn cycles on as many threads as you have cores for (up to 26)

[full vector]

yeah don't expect a game server to have truely balanced load, the main game logic thread will nearly always dominate. but it sounds like that under heavy load it may now use more cores then before

[quick mist]

it surely will, I've seen it.

[stuck drum]

hey, got a question, can a raspberry pi run a dedicated server for this?

[slim spoke]

in emulation

wouldnt be that great though

[stuck drum]

not beefy enough?

[slim spoke]

ya

[stuck drum]

can i easily convert a map i start single player to a server?

[fluid turret]

no conversion needed

save files work the same on servers as they do singleplayer

[stuck drum]

if server is on diff PC?

just copy save game file and good to go?

[slim spoke]

just put copy of save on server

and load session

[tribal sundial]

Any idea why the config files won't generate when server is started?

[slim spoke]

it doesnt need them but u can create the inis

[tribal sundial]

makes sense thank you

any idea why I keep getting "could not connect to server" ports are open, commandline is exactly as specified in the wiki

[slim spoke]

where is server compared to u

[tribal sundial]

I'm UK south west, it's UK south east

It's connected now, but it's super temperamental

[slim spoke]

so ur using net ip .. so its defender/firewalls/router port forwarding

on the server end

[tribal sundial]

i'll investigate, thank you

[slim spoke]

to test ports u can make it a tiny range like 7777-7780

so it has spares incase 7777 is used

just fix the port foward

[spark atlas]

Is that normal, when at least 2 players play on the server, the train driving almost impossible? Is this another known bug on the server?

[slim spoke]

restart the server and clients

[spark atlas]

Strictly speaking is rather lag. Or if I want to switch points, e.g. while driving a train, it does not work.

It has been restarted a few times.

Server runs on my PC, CPU should be fast enough. I'm thinking of switching the server to Nitrado for a few days to test it.

[static kraken]

What runs better to play in Multiplayer or to play with Dedicated Servers?

[neon harbor]

You could on pi4 but you should expect some lag. I play on 8 cores 16gb ram smoothly with 4 friends

[neon harbor]

Depends on if you want to play all at once or not

[static kraken]

Yeah we only play together with 2 players on a server.

[languid lynx]

The biggest problem is when the single thread is maxed out the tier 5 belts are held up by the splitters. I've been testing with a 300hr save and really hope it will do some multi threading. Testing on a E3-1220 v3 @ 3.10GHz. It is basically an 4th gen i5.

[ivory sage]

I am running Satisfactory Server with 16 people every weekend with the specification of E5-2640v2 * 2, but until last week, if there were more than 10 people, it started to get lag.

This week's multi-core patch was made, so please don't get lag.

[languid lynx]

You might be getting to the same issue with the world getting complicated. My save is now 5mb.

[full vector]

the game was specced for 4 people, and your ageing server CPUs arent the greatest for game hosting, so i wouldnt expect miracle changes

[static kraken]

If Its already fixed to download the dedicated servers tool when you dont bought satis on steam?

[full vector]

you never needed to own it on steam to get the server

just need to use steamcmd

[languid lynx]

My server has run quite a few game servers over the year. This is just a optimisation thing which will get better hopefully. Also the high CPU is with a single player connected.

[static kraken]

thanks

[static kraken]

You know where i can find a manual?

[slim spoke]

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

[prime gorge]

Are you going to host on Windows or Linux?

[static kraken]

win

[bold plinth]

It took me a while when dedicated came to experimental but start server up go to the console in-game server Manager and type quit after that check the directory
FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\

Make sure you have a save or session loaded

[tribal sundial]

Thanks, I got it sorted, realised the config files appeared after the server stopped, not generated when its started

[bold plinth]

#dedicated-servers message
For proof of someone else doing or sharing

Though I think I saw a dev say something about it, yea it weird

Nvm it is there in the config area probably read over that a few times and didn't notice

[trim cobalt]

Anyone know how to export a save from the server ? I didnt find any savegames in winscp

[slim spoke]

wiki page has where to look for your saves

[trim cobalt]

Yes I know, but I dont have save folder xD

[slim spoke]

then check install folder

[long sable]

Make sure if your server is on a Unix based system (such as Linux) that hidden files are visible. I can't remember WinSCPs shortcut, I think it's Ctrl+Alt+H, as the .config folder will otherwise be hidden.

[timid slate]

Anyone else noticed more lag spikes since last patch? I get reset in world position quite often currently

Already died a number of times due to it 😦

[versed merlin]

It doesn’t create the files when started, Because the server is reading everything from the stock defaults built into the engine. Once you get the server up and running, then connect via the server manager in a game client and and the consul tab enter the “quit“ command. That will gracefully shut the server down and have it write all of its current settings to the INI files.

[crude tapir]

We are opposite. We were like that, and now we feel smoother than before.

[versed merlin]

Force a save using the console command documented in the wiki, and that will then create the file in the default location for your OS as documented in the wiki.

[subtle sundial]

how’s the performance of servers using 173131 compared to previous versions?

[quick topaz]

it's running fine just like the previous one, personally

[bold plinth]

Which is what I said but also that is where my complaint is, like why not generate it on console via rdp with ctrl c or x out or at least generate it when you pick/start the world and name. Probably something that could be suggested in the thread or site and it could be a button server api or server management

[versed merlin]

Have you placed a QA report about it?

Make that suggestion!

[bold plinth]

Yea I should

Unless it's already in internal list of things

I do that when I am back at the computer

If not it would save a looot of time for people coming here and asking but helping people to here is fine

I got the game (well when update 5 exp released)b/c of dedicated servers as I have some friends I played it with

[versed merlin]

That’s great. Just keep in mind that we’re still on the experimental branch for DediServers, so growing pains are to be expected.

[bold plinth]

Yep

And I am fine with that, most problems I seen here I rarely had except some friends for connecting buuut that's been fixed with the last 3 patches

[versed merlin]

If all else fails, have your kitty use their laser eyes and destroy all the evidence. 🙂

[bold plinth]

I am waiting for when they start working on the features for dedicated then I become really active

[versed merlin]

Considering that the core game itself isn’t even finished yet, you may have a while to wait for a steady stream of features for DediServers. 😉

[bold plinth]

Yea

[slate smelt]

Modders will pick up slack till then

[versed merlin]

Likely.

[bold plinth]

Curious of how that would work currently

Hopefully if they have a workshop and you just put the IDs on the server side and you download it from server

[versed merlin]

I’m curious, myself, like @bold plinth , to see how well or poorly mods will work on the server side.

[bold plinth]

Could do something like space engineers(but that had a actual app for all settings) for that put IDs in the box or area start up server downloads then and you join and it automatically downloads to clients

[versed merlin]

But the serverside implementation itself shouldn’t be too bad. I mean, it was super easy running earlier gen Unreal Engine game servers with various mods/mutators.

[bold plinth]

Yea I was looking through the wiki

[versed merlin]

And, depending on how the server is set up, either pushing the packages needed to the connecting clients or redirecting them to the download sites.

[proper basin]

Hello. Our server is stuck with a hard crash. Anyone have any sneaky (like map editor) suggestions? https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/61964ad6831c85205235f32a

[versed merlin]

The downside is when you’ve got a ton of mods on the server and the client has to download them all prior to actually spawning the player actor.

[bold plinth]

Yea but you can have a timeout or put them in a waiting queue also would depend on bandwidth and ping to the server also server connection speed

[versed merlin]

Oh, I know.

[bold plinth]

Best to do a .log file instead of pasting the entire exception

[proper basin]

@bold plinth I’ll have the guy who posted that message get the log file. Thanks.

[versed merlin]

The exception helps, but a log file from the server showing what happened will give more details.

As well as relevant data about what was happening on the server at the time.

[bold plinth]

Looks like something is not playing nice

[proper basin]

Where would the log file on the server be?

[versed merlin]

Hey! I only hit him with the Xenobasher when he wasn’t looking.

[versed merlin]

Better to have the server admin post. That way you’re not playing middleman.

[bold plinth]

Unless you are the server admin which looks like you are as for logs

[proper basin]

He’s here reading this chat. Just doing other things too.

[versed merlin]

To answer your question, it depends on how the server was started, and what details and options were set in the service, if the service was set up.

[bold plinth]

Where you stop and start the server if on own dedicated server but factory games saved logs and it should be in there

[clever quarry]

the same issue occurs if the save file is used locally

[proper basin]

@bold plinth @versed merlin that is the log above. Thanks 🙂

[bold plinth]

Can also be in the config and crash report client folder

Ah ok

[versed merlin]

Yeah, then you’ve got a corrupted game file, if it is happening both on the dedicated and on local. Congratulations! 👀

[proper basin]

🎉

[versed merlin]

Have you uploaded the save file to a save editor like satisfactory-calculator.com yet?

You may have to activate the experimental mode (if I remember correctly, it’s in the upper right hand corner). Before you upload

[fervent crow]

yes you do

[versed merlin]

i’m currently at work now, I’ll take a look through the log file and see if anything jumps out at me. But I’m juggling about three different things so it might be a little while before I can get back. Lol

[proper basin]

We did to have a look at the map about 30 hours ago.

[proper basin]

No sweat, thank you for your help whenever you have time 🙂

[clever quarry]

I uploaded the broken save to satisfactory-calculator.com .. no issues

[versed merlin]

I’m just muted the microphone on my meeting so everybody still thinks that I’m listening in instead of typing into Discord. Lol next thing you could try is using one of the previous auto saves? Although, if the server has been corrupted long enough it may have auto saved over everything and now they’re all corrupt.

[clever quarry]

they are all gone,

[versed merlin]

Gone?!

[clever quarry]

overwritten

[fervent crow]

¿gone?

[clever quarry]

we had save on player logout enabled

and there are only 3x version it keeps

[fervent crow]

hey @clever quarry - delete that log file and send it directly to @versed merlin

its got IP and shit info

[versed merlin]

So do I. And I have five autosave files. 🙂

[versed merlin]

Agreed about possibly editing out the IP addresses and usernames, but do not send it directly to me. Keep it in the open so that more eyes can be on it and possibly come up with a solution.

[fervent crow]

yeah - definately have that shit removed

[versed merlin]

Looking through the log, I see that it took over 27 seconds just to load your game save file. How big is your save file?

[clever quarry]

2mb

I can upload the save here

or DM it to you

[versed merlin]

Weird. My largest is only 2.9mb and we’re still in within 10-15 seconds.

[clever quarry]

Server is in NYK and I am in London

[versed merlin]

NYK? NYC?

[clever quarry]

New York

nitrado server

[versed merlin]

Tangential: New York is a largish state. (I know, I live in upstate NY, about 4 hours drive away from NYC). Just like there’s more to Britain than just London. 🙂

And I’m not finding a nitrado server colo in New York

Weird. Anyways, I’d give a look at the connection timeout setting in the ini files. Since your coming from across the pond, you may need a longer timeout period

[clever quarry]

geo ip lookup

[versed merlin]

I’m just about to jump back into the log file

[proper basin]

@versed merlin I have gotten disconnected from some timeout issues a couple times.

(also from across the pond)

[versed merlin]

Yeah, like I said, I wasn’t seeing any on their site listed for NY. I see one for NJ, but not NY. Just likely wasn’t looking In The right area.

[clever quarry]

game.ini

[/Script/Engine.GameNetworkManager]
TotalNetBandwidth=500000
MaxDynamicBandwidth=120000
MinDynamicBandwidth=100000

[versed merlin]

That’s just the bandwidth stuff. What’s the InitialConnectTimeout set to?

[clever quarry]

That and the MaxPlayers is all that is in game.ini

[versed merlin]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files#Client_disconnected_for_Timeout

Check the wiki.

[versed merlin]

It looks like there’s data centers for Nitrado closer to y’all than 4800+km away.

😉

[fervent crow]

windows or linux?

[clever quarry]

BTG is in Texas

Linux install from what I can see

[proper basin]

we're doing some latency testing for ya 😉

[proper basin]

The dedicated server we play factorio on is like down the road from me... The most recent update made my delay go from 10ms to 5ms... It's glorious.

[versed merlin]

Nice. 🙂

[versed merlin]

Then definitely bump up the timeout settings in the ini file as detailed in the wiki.

[jagged mesa]

Lol, why do most people, who even live in NY think anything out side of NYC is upstate? Not only that but anything North of the I-90 cordor just doesn't exist

[clever quarry]

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]
MaxClientRate=120000
MaxInternetClientRate=120000
InitialConnectTimeout=60.0
ConnectionTimeout=60.0

[/Script/FactoryGame.FGSaveSession]
mNumRotatingAutosaves=100

[versed merlin]

iirc (remember I’m at work), the built in default is 20 seconds. Try increasing it to 30-45

[clever quarry]

default is 30 from the wiki, changed it to 60

[versed merlin]

Sweetie, anything north of Yonkers is CANADA!

[clever quarry]

also told it to keep 100 save files

[jagged mesa]

Well, apparently I live in Canada then

[versed merlin]

Me too. Pass the poutine.

Mmmm. Poutine.

[jagged mesa]

Now I'm hungry....

[versed merlin]

Meet me at Tim Horton’s, eh?

(I’m actually annoyed that the tim Horton’s near us went under. They were so much better than Dunkin’ and Starbucks. )

[jagged mesa]

There is one near me

[echo smelt]

Krispy Kreme is better 😄

[versed merlin]

For doughnuts? Hell yes.

Not so much for a quick lunch.

[jagged mesa]

Tim Hortons is so much more then doughnuts

[versed merlin]

Closest KK to me is near Scranton, about 60 minutes south.

And yes, every time we drive through the area we stop. 🙂

[jagged mesa]

I'm in Massena, if I was much further north I would really be in Canada

[versed merlin]

Nice! I’m going camping in the ADK this weeekend, near Old Forge. I’ll raise a cuppa around the campfire in your direction!

[jagged mesa]

Lol, thanks

Getting a bit chilly for camping isn't it?

We should probably stop, I think we derailed the topic for this channel

[clear birch]

hy guys - is there a proper workflow to work with the *floor holes?

its like, everytime i delete one side i need to rebuild the *floor hole entirely

[trim cobalt]

oooke... I dont have any directory for my savegames ? xD

[jagged mesa]

Pretty sure that is a known bug

[clear birch]

ok

just wanted to make sure im not to stupid for them =D

[paper edge]

.config

For save

[jagged mesa]

Any know where the server keeps trying to make http requests to? It always comes back to a 0.0.0.0 ip address, but I'm pretty sure it's just pinhole blocking it.
Not sure of it's worth whitelisting or not, everything seems to work just fine

[rose valley]

Here's a daily reminder that overriding net bandwidth values via ini files will not work since the game will overwrite them at runtime based on the value of FG.NetworkQuality. The best way to tweak those values is by running FG.NetworkQuality <number from 0 to 3> from the server console until we expose this in the server settings UI.

[jagged mesa]

I assume 0 is lowest and 3 is highest?

[rose valley]

Yes. 3 has also been boosted in a recent patch so it's more ultra.

[jagged mesa]

Ok, thanks, now I just need to fix my pc so I can even access the server, stupid nvme drive died for some reason while I was out yesterday, sighs

[rose valley]

F

[pseudo yew]

Could we get this and similar pinned?

[rose valley]

Hope you'll sort it out soon.

[pseudo yew]

Ty :)

[jagged mesa]

Going to go pick up at best buy soon, it's on a black Friday sale currently

Just annoying, but at least is was just my boot/app drive, my second nvme with all my data still seems intact

[versed merlin]

Ow, keep in mind that any updates to the game engine can, and sometimes will, overwrite the ini files. So you may need to edit them again

[clever quarry]

OK

still think we have lost our factory

I have a backup I took 2x days ago that is 30hrs behind

Its just that that other ticket with someone else having the same corruption indicates its not just a fluke chance for us

[versed merlin]

I wonder if many of the ini files with the elevated net bandwidth are ones created by hosting companies. Hell, the ones I looked at cursorily earlier today were advertising 10player servers. 😕

[versed merlin]

Sorry, just wrapped up the meeting and haven’t had a chance to finish the log file. Sounds like you found someone else with the same problem then?

[versed merlin]

Damn, but at least you’re not starting from scratch!

[proper basin]

@versed merlin there's a second post on the forums with the same crash

[clever quarry]

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/6196316d831c85205235f2ce .. kolarius has the same issue reported before we had the problem

[frosty gale]

Is there a way to automate this to happen whenever I turn on the server?

Or do I really need to do it manually every day?

[quick mist]

I believe when you run that command once, next time the server is gracefully shut down it is immortalized on disk.

[frosty gale]

Oh.

All right.

[dusk shale]

how i run the server ?

[quick mist]

Because signaling.

When you, in the Console, use one of the shutdown commands, you are basically telling the server as its 'mom' "Okay now, put away your toys and go to bed.'. The server does so and makes sure everything it needs is where it needs it to be for next startup.

When you just X out of the console window, you're yanking a piece of the server out from under it and when it starts to pratfall, panics and tells the OS "I don't know what just happened but I don't like it, send help" and the OS just sweeps the shattered parts out of the way.

When you press ^C, you are sending a BREAK signal to the program, which is sort of the equivalent to sending a fire truck, lights and sirens blaring, to cease all traffic flowing down a road. Nothing on that road gets to do anything but stop.

On Linux, one of the server shutdown options, sending an INTERRUPT signal, is usually considered the same as a BREAK signal in Windows, but they are different and clearly handled differently. SIGINT is the Linux kernel's way of having the OS say "Put your toys away and go to bed".

[quick mist]

by following the directions on the Wiki

[dreamy nexus]

Is there a way to purge players from the server? I got kicked while riding a train and a new copy of myself spawned in when I rejoined. Now my old self is forever in the train and I can't delete it.

[quick mist]

that's a known bug, unfortunately. AFAIK the only solutions to a zombie train are forcing a derailment, or pulling the save down to a save editor and deleting the train that way.

[dreamy nexus]

hmm.. forcing a derailment..

[dusk shale]

?

[quick mist]

perfectly normal warnings which you can ignore

[dusk shale]

ok

now ?

[quick mist]

your client is not on the Experimental branch. Go to Properties -> Betas in the Steam Library entry for Satisfactory and select that branch, and you will see the Server Manager on the menu

[dusk shale]

i get update

thx for help

[crude tapir]

Server is online and we were just on it, but now appears online server side, but offline client side?

[dusk shale]

how i fix this ?

[quick mist]

by entering a valid address or hostname

[crude tapir]

Yeah, our server doesn't seem to want to show back up as online. Guessing this is more a service that we user problem, and not a CSS problem?

[quick mist]

indeed, Hex; the servers don't talk to any sort of central hub. I'd start working through these troubleshooting steps: https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Configuration_issues

[karmic thunder]

Does Dedicated Server are relly run on my pc? i get 100+ ping in my server, using 127.0.0.1/192. to join are same

[quick mist]

you can run it on any computer you wish to that fits the minima. Generally though if you want a highly-available one you will run it on a server hosted in a datacenter.

unless you have a homelab to run it from

[karmic thunder]

this means that if i run server in another computer and join will get lower ping?

[quick mist]

that depends on the server and the network it's connected to

[karmic thunder]

in the same router

[quick mist]

you're asking "how fast can I drive this car" without telling me anything about the roads you plan to drive it on

it'll run as well as it can run on whatever you run it on

[karmic thunder]

sorry i didnt make it clear, i want know why i will get ping when im host

[quick mist]

The 'ping' time tells you how long it takes for the game client to get an answer from the server. If you are running the server from the same computer on which you are also running the game client, and that computer does not have the horsepower to run both at the same time, either or both of the client or server will be less performant, which may be exposed with a high ping time.

[bleak oar]

So the new patch says the game should be able to use more than one CPU core on 173131 But after updating it is still not working

should i post a new topic tagging this version? it shows there was a topic from 2 weeks ago but that was before they said it was fixed

[quick mist]

The new server release from yesterday absolutely uses multiple threads and cores if they are available.

when it needs them

[bleak oar]

as you can see from my screenshot that is it not

[quick mist]

then right now it only needs one thread. when it needs more it uses them, and the OS takes care of the rest

the program still leans pretty heavily on a primary thread, but the ancillary threads do pick up and start spinning when they're needed

[bleak oar]

what is the best way to verify this is working on my server?

bc we are having banding and lag issues and i believe it is bc it isnt using more cpus

[quick mist]

the above pstree command will show the process tree the server has spawned. you can use a program like htop (also shown above) to see each thread's activity.

[bleak oar]

i do not know how to decipher this

[quick mist]

you can see right there that the main thread and three of the subthreads are consuming CPU cycles at that instant, while the rest are idle

[bleak oar]

if you have a second could you explain to me where you see that?

i see 119% cpu usage and i see the 66 threads, 2 running

[quick mist]

it's sorted in descending order by CPU usage, yes? thus:

[bleak oar]

and i see all the cpus at the top.

[quick mist]

one thread is consuming 119% of one core (i. e. it is wanting more capacity than one core can offer), the next busiest thread is consuming 17.3% of a core

and then three using 0.7% of a core

[bleak oar]

ok makes sense.

thank you for your time

[quick mist]

sure thing!

[bleak oar]

i love learning more about these things.

[quick mist]

that's a great attitude (:

[bleak oar]

but with such a beefy server it worries me to see banding issues

and one cpu peaking out

[quick mist]

while the server is properly multithreaded now, it is still fairly dependent on the speed of a single core because the bulk of the CPU usage will be from one main thread

given that the main thread is wanting to consume more cycles than one core has to offer, it may be that your beefy server is, so to speak, plenty wide but not deep enough

I am sure though that as development proceeds, there will be further optimizations as CSS toils

[versed merlin]

Due to the way that the game was developed, the bulk of all calculations tend to happen within a single thread. As @quick mist mentioned, as CSS works more and the server software matures, I have no doubts that things will get better

[bleak oar]

ok well ive been trying to actively help with bug logging on the Ded-server progress

We are running it day and night with several users

[craggy parcel]

I am unable to access vehicle menu... I've tried validating my files, restarting the server, restarting my game, it continued through the updates too, anyone else experienced this?

[hidden smelt]

Is anyone else getting a Client CTD when you try to select a buildable from either the build menu, hot bar or deconstruct sampler?
I'm getting all 3 which have turned the game into a walking and deconstruction simulator since I literally can't build anything unless I want to crash my client - I'm on U5 experimental, latest patch with Dedicated server also on latest patch, I host the server on a Windows 10 VM with 14 Cores, 16GB RAM and a dedicated SSD
On my Client I've tried EGS verify, Manual deletion of the game files and redownload, restarted the server, the server VM and my PC and am on the latest Nvidia driver.

The CTD error is Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000

Other clients that connect over the internet have no issues with building

[quick mist]

had that last night but in my case it was fixed by disconnecting from and reconnecting to the server

[craggy parcel]

Even tried rebuilding the truck...

[craggy parcel]

Ehhmm... Restarting the game does not work, but reconnting does? what

[severe badge]

I had a similar issue, but it was specific to the vehicle path load screen. We had to edit the save file to remove the offending path (through trial and error).
This is the editor that we used: https://github.com/Goz3rr/SatisfactorySaveEditor

[craggy parcel]

Anyone know if it's possible to make the factories run even if no players are online?

[faint wagon]

there's a checkbox for that

[craggy parcel]

Where?

[faint wagon]

in servermanager

[craggy parcel]

Oh

I See

So now everything should continue running?

[faint wagon]

should. but definitely test it. I haven't tested it

[slim spoke]

if u set it to run when empty it will

[rich void]

yes, the game doesn't pause when there is no one online, as long as the server is running

[burnt blaze]

It works on the two servers I'm running

[crystal eagle]

This has been probably asked here a few times, I have a steamcmd server, where are the server save files located? Thanks

[acoustic python]

is there a known issue with explodable boulders reappearing? like a desync?

[slim spoke]

in mp ya they can with desync

restart server and clients

[pallid rivet]

After having a world kind of big in dedicated server, one of most frustrating thing is that fact that u dont know when the autosave will do its course & thus get unexpected desync while it happens without knowing.

[faint wagon]

@pallid rivet you can with a little bit of math and paying attention. Default autosave is every 5 minutes. so look at your autosave times and just know it's going to be every 5 minutes. You can also change it to be longer if you want 10 or 20 minutes etc...

there used to be a warning for the autosave 10 seconds before it happened 🤔

[bold atlas]

anyone having more crashes on their servers than normal

[faint wagon]

haven't seen that in months, even on my solo game

@bold atlas i haven't, not since they patched the dismantle crash and the inverted frame crash.

is it random or repeatable?

[bold atlas]

not sure yet,

[faint wagon]

anything in the logs?

[hushed lance]

How do you change the save times on the DS? The save now takes almost 10secs. And saving every 5 mins is becoming alittle to much.

[slim spoke]

search in here people gave the ini and such info

[faint wagon]

it's in the wiki

FG.AutosaveInterval xxx
Sets how often the server performs an Autosave, in xxx seconds

you can do this from the console screen in the server manager

[hushed lance]

Thanks. I didn't know they updated the wiki from the time I setup the server

[slim spoke]

its constantly gets updated and tweeked with info as community sees things to add/fix

especially the dedi pages.. some people have really taken to tryin to get as much info on there as we can use

[alpine dawn]

I was surprised there was an update yesterday when I got home, I thought I had been paying attention to patch notes but nope, went to connect and it was version missmatched

lol

fortunately it looks like more and more bugs are getting fixed

but yeah the wiki is changing on a daily basis as well

[hushed lance]

Yeah, now I just need them to work on the Desync between server and client to be fixed.

[slim spoke]

most of that is based on computer, hardware and internet

[hushed lance]

Wrong

[slim spoke]

most desyncing is on potatoes or slow net

[hushed lance]

It based on the update timing and the size of your build

[faint wagon]

i have almost no desync

[slim spoke]

or comps with busy os

[faint wagon]

especially now that the server is taking advantage of more cpu/threads

[alpine dawn]

what is desync?

[slim spoke]

where info on ur screen dont match others or server

[alpine dawn]

oh

[faint wagon]

desync is the time it takes for the server to update what you're doing, then replicate it back visually

[slim spoke]

like ghost plants and rubberbanding

[hushed lance]

Happens mostly with belts and trains

[alpine dawn]

oh, never seen it

[faint wagon]

trains are the only place i've seen it recently

[hushed lance]

I see it in trains and where there is 30+ mark5 belts running at full.

[alpine dawn]

ah I dont have trains yet

so maybe thats why

[hushed lance]

I have a Map wide single train network with about 30 trains. Its really bad lol

[faint wagon]

yikes

[alpine dawn]

I do have an issue from time to time where I will kill something like a flying crab and it still shows in the undisturbed state but I can take its carapace

its intermittent

I also dont know if its the dedicated server that is the issue or if its just a general experimental client issue

[faint wagon]

yeah, seems like the enemies spawning is a little weird. some don't spawn until you're right next to them, some spawn and don't move. others like you've described

[swift delta]

Has anyone found how to get trains to load and unload with out having to assemble and disassemble them 300 times?

[slim spoke]

fix in sp or wait for patches or do the dance

[swift delta]

so?

sp?

[slim spoke]

take a guess lol

[lone knoll]

Still trying to wrap my head around my crate issue. I have noticed that i am getting an error every time i respawn that is not allowing my crate to spawn. the error pops immediately as i hit the mouse button to respawn when the crate would normally spawn. I have not been able to spawn a crate on this server once through death or dismantle. The server is running from a 3rd party running Debian.
I have tried a fresh install, verified files and pretty much any type of troubleshooting yall have provided so far. The only thing i see in the logs that is different is this error when respawning on this server vs a local dedicated server instance:

SpawnActor failed because no class was specified

[slim spoke]

google search the bug site

[sand galleon]

I've read the entire Wiki, so I'm sorry if I missed it, but does anyone know where the state of the FG.AutosaveInterval and FG.NetworkQuality commands are stored on disk once entered?

ServerSettings.port?...

[slim spoke]

wiki page for dedicated servers

has autosave info and such

read the text maybe click a link

reset password or whatever has ur serversettings

[sand galleon]

There's no need to be condescending... Like I said, I read the entire text of all these pages:
https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers
https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files
https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Multiplayer

I can't find where these commands are written to disk. I know of the commands, and I know what the ServerSettings file is (except for what's in it, because it's encrypted/binaraized).

[slim spoke]

server only writes things out to ini if u gracefully shutdown the server

which should be noted also on the dedi page

[sand galleon]

Which ini(s) are those two commands written to? The wiki does not state (afaik)

Because I gracefully stopped the server and don't see a change to Game or Engine.ini

[slim spoke]

sorry im busy on my high horse

[sand galleon]

But let me double check I suppose

[slim spoke]

planning condescending takes alot of time

[sand galleon]

I'm sorry you feel the need to be so hostile. I hope your day gets better soon.

[slim spoke]

i didnt thats why i told u were to find the answers to ur questions

have a great day

[sand galleon]

I mean... you didn't... at least not successfully, and I have receipts to prove it. But thanks!

[feral dawn]

@sand galleon from memory I think it's in gameusersettings.ini

[slim spoke]

pssst why dont u thank everyone who didnt reply for not helping?

[feral dawn]

Mfloatvariables?

That would be FactoryGame/Saved/Config/Linux(Windows)Server

[sand galleon]

Tyvm for the productive response ❤️ I'll go check that right now.

Also, as an aside, is the Linux path at this link incorrect?
https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files#Autosave_slots_and_Autosave_interval
I think it should be FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini, because a Engine.ini is not generated in SaveGames for me.

[feral dawn]

Yes agreed bud

That does look wrong, which is halarious as that was my wiki entry haha :D

I'll get someone to modify it when I see them next.

[sand galleon]

Omg it totally is in gameusersettings.ini!!! Thank you so much! I'm trying to write an update to Pterodactyl's egg (a hosting platform/framework) for Satisfactory and setting those values manually makes it possible vs. the console we can't type in yet server-side.

[feral dawn]

Yeah, don't get your hopes up to that happening either.

The unreal engine is pretty crap at accepting input from stdin

Annoyingly!

I also use pter, but I am unsure how it handles the files if gameusersettings doesn't exist first.

[sand galleon]

Haha, no worries 👍 Just glad when things get caught and updated 🙂

[sand galleon]

Yeh, it's really no sweat off my back as long as there's a file somewhere on disk I can modify. For now (at least for the latest egg update), I'll have the install script generate needed ini files on install with the values to be changed pre-injected into the file. Then I'll use the Configuration Files file parser to change the values on server boot based on server variables. EZ PZ. But, once wings updates, I'll switch it over to the updated ini parser (that will finally work with SF's ini section naming convention) which will create the missing setting and section if they are missing (like in a clean server install); all nice and clean 🙂

[feral dawn]

Ah this sounds good.

Are you planning on PR'ing your changes to the official egg repo?

[sand galleon]

As the egg's author and only maintainer, I'd hope so 😉

[feral dawn]

Aah hehe.

Well thanks for the egg so far!

[sand galleon]

Thank you for actually helping me improve it! (unlike some other people here, lol) I can add you as an idea contributor if you'd like to DM me your Github profile 🙂

[feral dawn]

That's kind of you, I don't mind putting my crappy github here. 😂

https://github.com/AlienXAXS

[slim spoke]

hahahah

[sand galleon]

Awesome. Stay tuned to Ptero's #eggs-and-games channel for any update PRs (whenever I get it done 😅 )

[slim spoke]

oh not laughin at ur git btw .. i think its awesome that anyone shares work they do

[feral dawn]

Meh would not really mind if u were, I am a hobbyist programmer and have never done it for a job, so never learnt the 'right ways' to code.

[slim spoke]

naa i think more of people who just do/try/have fun

[feral dawn]

Anyways, it's 4am I need to sleep lol.

[slim spoke]

nite alienx

[feral dawn]

Cya!

[pallid rivet]

I mean I know that, but I dont want to ? Like the warning is great + being consistent is even better. If there is a warning in single/shared world, there should be one too in dedicated servers. It's just something that missing in DS that's it 🙂

[rose valley]

I agree with you. It will be there at some point. Unfortunately very experimental doesn't just mean insufficiently tested but also missing features. So by all means, bring these oversights to our attention by using our qa site: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com
Make sure you search first in case this has already been requested and upvote that instead.

[quick mist]

It's not "missing" in the dedicated server per se. The host gets the notification that an autosave is about to start; in the case of a DS, the host just isn't a player who is able to see the notification (:

[alpine dawn]

lmao the amount of people who install the dedi and experimental client and expect way way way too much out of it is fun

this is bleeding edge and you need to expect it to be broken

[slim spoke]

ya but they create a ton of data at the same time

[alpine dawn]

possibly broken beyond acceptable tolerance, if thats the case you need to stay on the main branch

[slim spoke]

thats true

[alpine dawn]

do not install the experimental version and get upset when it completely breaks everything

[slim spoke]

i agree with u .. i think here is more about can we find all the things now that are easy to break

pushing things and doing dumb things to cause errors for science

[alpine dawn]

oh yeah I am totally down for people creating bug reports and reporting issues in a meaningful way but coming in here and just having a bitch fest about something that is labeled as experimental is not conducive to constructive feedback

we are all aware at this point of the shortcomings and complaining about it isnt helpful

anyway I have just got done playing for like 5 hours on the dedi

worked great

time to go take a shower and go to bed I think

getting late here

[subtle niche]

So i have had a dedicated server for around 2/3 weeks now, its fantastic it really is only problem i have with it is that the trucks dont refuel at truck stations, and when you are needing things to make the factory run and rely on the trucks to keep things moving it kinda sucks. - can you guys have a look at what might be making this happen

[finite canopy]

@subtle niche go to where it should refill, then when your there empty its fuel box, that should fix it

[subtle niche]

@finite canopy as in empty the trucks fuel ? and the station will refill it

[finite canopy]

yp

[subtle niche]

Looks like your correct ! thanks mate i hope it is a permanent fix lol

Only loads 24 fuel :S

[finite canopy]

it takes only what it need for 1 trip

[subtle niche]

Ahh ok then it does the same at the other side

[finite canopy]

actually it doesn't even do that, it takes enough for a full trip, back and forth

[subtle niche]

That works for me 🙂

[quick mist]

I have a couple of times found a truck stranded and out of fuel, but only twice after having had the trucks running for days.

[subtle niche]

Well scorpione trick worked very well, my truck now now trucking like it should be. i seem to have a few issues with belts on some of the last updates when i have updated the server some belts needed to be replaced to function, seems they just bugged out.

[pallid rivet]

I mean, I expected it, But this is a thread to speak about our experience with it. And this is one of the points I feel that need to be adjusted

[burnt blaze]

I was having an issue with trucks not loading/unloading last night. Hope it's fixed soon.

[vague pewter]

The Dedicated Server tool in not showing in Steam. I saw several post about it a week ago and when I checked a few moments ago its still not there. I do not own a Steam Copy of Satisfactory but I read that was not necessary. Is there something I'm missing?

[prisma narwhal]

Question about using dedicated server as "performance helper". I've built a bunch of stuff on my current map, so FPS now is near 20 regardless of graphic settings. (clear CPU bottleneck) Does it help to run dedicated server with better CPU and connect to it to play or game still continue to calculate all stuff at client side?

[rose valley]

In my experience even running the server on the same computer as the client can help boost framerate. It's basically decoupling the rendering thread (in your client) from most of the game logic. So try it!

[prisma narwhal]

Ty!

[feral dawn]

If you do not own the game on steam I believe you cannot download the server via the steam client itself, but you can use the steamcmd application to download it, more info on the wiki including instructions :)

[rose valley]

You're not missing anything. The game is still not available to people that do not own the game and Valve is looking into this. They've been looking into it for a while so it's getting a little frustrating but for now you will have to use steamcmd.

[hidden rock]

This sounds like an unreasonably good upgrade to pseudo-singleplayer experience.....

[rose valley]

It's been unreasonably good in my experience, indeed.

[edgy citrus]

I know its probably on the wiki, or faq somewhere and I'm just to blind to see it.

Have they said how the dedicated server will be migrated from experimental to early access branch once update 5 comes out?

[subtle sundial]

that’s an interesting side effect

[frosty gale]

Does the server address for the server manager only work with ipv4 or ipv6 as well?

[rain kindle]

nvm sorry

[frosty gale]

One of my freight train stations is not filling up with the items I'm feeding it. The lift that's attached to the station gets items from the belt, but they never enter the station.

Any idea why?

No, actually two. Iron plates and iron rods are not getting loaded into the station. Copper wire and cables are.

Both are set to load.

[full vector]

maybe the lift ended up not being attached?

[frosty gale]

I tried removing and building again, also, I build it from the input hole of the station, then add the last bit of belt.

Just added a bunch of the items in both stations manually, they are not getting loaded onto the train either. I guess I'll dismantle the stations next.

All right, that worked.

[karmic skiff]

could this error be popping up because i have my laptop on the same internet connection running steam

I followed a tutorial to start it by mature gamers and they said something about an internal id for running the server and playing not on the same device but the same internet connection

i used the IP that appearently works only if youre on a different network and im wondering if thats the issue and if so how do i find this other IP

as far as tech goes, i have a room temp iq and the knowledge of a fruitcake

when someone tries to join they get "unathenticated server"

even though im on it and can manage admin password and have effectively claimed it, i think

but on my screen im logged in and everything

[quick mist]

This? (:

[quick mist]

Not sure about the contents of a third party guide but that looks like not all ports may be properly forwarded. I'd start with the official wiki, with these troubleshooting steps: https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers#Configuration_issues

[karmic skiff]

i have 7777 15777 and 15000

on udp

@quick mist

im told to give my ipv4 for ppl but i have a short one that works for me and a long one that doesnt

[quick mist]

IPv4 addresses are all the same length.

four numbers separated by .s

Yay!!

[karmic skiff]

Well shit, I typed ip config and ipv4 was listed twice with two different numbers

[quick mist]

Probably because your computer has more than one network interface. Each interface has its own address.

regardless though, there are two addresses you need to be aware of: your LAN address and your WAN address. The link I gave you above leads you through that too.

[severe badge]

@karmic skiff it sounds like you're connecting to the server using your local network (LAN) IP address (one that starts with 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x)

for others to connect, they need to connect to your external IP (WAN). This is the IP address of your home's internet connection. You can find it by going to icanhazip.com

In order for that to work though, you need to have forwarded all three of the listed ports on your router to your server's local IP address

[karmic skiff]

How do I find those

[severe badge]

the ports are what you listed above, 7777 15777 and 15000 on UDP

[karmic skiff]

Oh yeah I did

[quick mist]

you can get your WAN IP by, from the computer running the server, go to a site such as ipchicken.com.

you can see the LAN IP your server is bound to with the powershell command on the Wiki

(if that address is 0.0.0.0 or :: or * you can use any of the IPv4 addresses that appear with the ipconfig command)

[karmic skiff]

why do i need the lan ip

[severe badge]

that's the address your server has INSIDE your local network. You need it to connect to your server when you're local, and your router needs it in order to know where to forward the ports to

[quick mist]

because you need to know to which IP address to forward incoming network connections at your router

[severe badge]

put it this way, the internal IP address is like an apartment number, and the external is like the street address

[quick mist]

LAN IP addresses (such as 169.254.125.53) are literally not able to be routed over the Internet

[karmic skiff]

can someone condense the explanation into room temp iq

[quick mist]

because they are specifically cordoned off for private use

short short version: WAN addresses are public; LAN addresses are private.

[karmic skiff]

so I need people to connect by putting my wan in the adress, and what do i need to do as far as port forwarding because i only created an inbound rule on my firewall for 7777 15777 15000

[quick mist]

That is all explained in short words on the wiki

please consult the documentation was have taken much time and effort to write so that we don't have to rewrite it here

if you have specific questions, please ask them in that context so that we can make the documentation better

[karmic skiff]

i tried to understand it there but i dont know many of the terms and its not really in begginner format so i apreciate the work put in, but i cant understand it

doesnt help to have really bad adhd

[quick mist]

can you please tell is what it is that you do not understand? That way we know what we need to expound upon to make more clear.

[severe badge]

I think you set up a firewall rule on your computer, you may not have configured your router to forward ports.
Unfortunately, routers are different from model to model, so we won't be able to give you specifics of how to do that configuration. You'd need to look that up yourself

[karmic skiff]

i have my server running on this PC im typing on, I did the firewall stuff, i figured out how to launch it, i need to figure out now how to connect to the server

and i dont know how to get information from my router, its an Xfinity box but we changed the name and password multiple times idk what all that did but theres nothing phisically on the box for me to go off

[quick mist]

okay

[karmic skiff]

i think im just kinda dumb

[quick mist]

if you yourself are connecting to a server on the same computer, you don't need to think about the router. Just use the address 127.0.0.1 and you're in

if someone not the computer running the server needs to connect that is a different conversation

if someone not in the same physical building as the computer running the server needs to connect that is yet another different converstaion

[karmic skiff]

that is the problem

[quick mist]

okay

[karmic skiff]

ppl cant connect

[quick mist]

please start here:

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

work through those questions, one by one

if there is something in those steps you do not understand:

tell us what step it is and what part of the step you do not understand

[quaint apex]

who can confirm that the server uses multiple cores?

[quick mist]

literally anyone running the server

[quaint apex]

Hmm

how good does the workload spread? I only see one core 100% and the rest dead.

[karmic skiff]

checking listening ports, idk where to put in Get-NetUDPEndpoint

[quaint apex]

and anyone knows how to verify which version the server runs. The logs are a bit of a mess

[quick mist]

the program being a game server is still mostly reliant on one primary thread. When the other threads need activity, they will spin up. that how thread work

[quick mist]

click the start button, type in powershell, and put that command in the window that opens.

[wooden blaze]

Has anyone had issues with trains unloading on dedi servers? it loads fine but I cannot get it to unload. (yes it's set to unload with the orange slider) Iv'e also picked up the station a few times and moved it and it's always the same thing. i also replaced the train.

[karmic skiff]

15777 15000 and 7777 are present

im now stuck

[quick mist]

unfortunately that seems to be a common issue. there have been many anecdotal 'fixes' that work for some people but sometimes not others, including:

• rebuilding the station
• rebuilding the train
• reconnecting power to all stations on the network
• downloading the savefile to single player, rebuilding the train stations, and reuploading the save

[quick mist]

with which IP address?

[karmic skiff]

7777 has ::

same with the other two

[wooden blaze]

so they can work it's kinda just a matter of luck at the moment?

[quick mist]

okay. like I said a while ago: that means you can use any IPv4 address for your port forwarding settings. What are the IPv4 addresses you found with ipconfig earlier?

[karmic skiff]

theres a 15777 with 0.0.0.0

[quick mist]

unfortunately, that seems to be that case.

[karmic skiff]

10.0.0.72 and 100.127.255.253

[wooden blaze]

ehh it's experimental. at least it's known. now i can stop pulling the little hair i have left out lol.

[severe badge]

You're not dumb. Configuring and running a dedicated server is beyond what a most people do day-to-day with their computers. It takes a bunch of knowledge that is kind of outside the scope of the guide. The wiki is well written and pretty complete, but we can't write up a full (or even basic) tutorial on network routing.

It's great that you're trying to learn, just bear in mind that there might be a lot more to learn than you initially anticipated.

[karmic skiff]

ty, that definatley helps my self-esteem lol

ghotti i sent you a pic of the output of ipconfig

[quick mist]

okay, the 10.0.0.72 address is probably the LAN address you want to use. log into your router, and make sure those three UDP ports are forwarded to that LAN IP in its settings. I cannot give specific directions because there are literally thousands of routers with their own interfaces.

[karmic skiff]

idk how to login to a router, we just have an xfinity router, run of the mill

are you talking like the router that provides the internet connection or the one plugged into my pc

[quick mist]

I would then start by doing a Google search for "xfinity router port forwarding" to get started

[karmic skiff]

ok

on number 8

[quick mist]

(I do not say this to brush you off, incidentally, but rather to: a> help you learn how to find information autonomously, b> not be stuck copying and pasting from that documentation, and c> trying to keep the scope of #dedicated-servers within the realm of the server itself rather than generalized network issues)

[karmic skiff]

what port numbers would i have to use

[karmic skiff]

ah

[quick mist]

the port numbers are: UDP ports 7777, 15000, and 15777

[karmic skiff]

ok

tysm

[quick mist]

certainly

[severe badge]

I kind of wish that there was a questions-and-help-dedicated-Servers channel, so that this channel was a bit easier to parse through for info on the server software itself

[quick mist]

it would be useful to be able to make ephemeral threads to that end.

[radiant perch]

Is this an appropriate channel to ask about dedicated service providers? Im using one and experiencing rubber banding.

[karmic skiff]

id reccomend calling their tech support if its not as slow as steams

[fervent crow]

seeing so much more CPU threading this patch then before.

[quick mist]

have you installed today's update? It presumably has added better thread management which may help with rubberbanding

[dreamy nexus]

For linux servers, are there any special configurations to use multi cores?

[karmic skiff]

@golden roost

[quick mist]

no, it will out-of-the-box use up to more than 20 cores

26 I think?

[dreamy nexus]

Noice

[radiant perch]

Ill check, thanks

[severe badge]

Accidentally replied to you on that one, that's why I deleted and rewrote the message without the reply

[karmic skiff]

i again do not understand what you mean

[karmic skiff]

i am now convinced i might just not have good comprehension skills

[swift delta]

Didnt see anything in the latest patch about fixing trains not loading and unloading correctly..

[quaint apex]

OS: Arch Linux
RAM: 32GB
vCores: 6 (dedicated)
Satisfactory Version: 173339
Installed Packages: lib32-sdl2 steamcmd
Installation method: Systemd service ( https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Running_as_a_Service#Systemd )
Fixes applied: Symlinking steamclient.so

No idea why it doesn't use multiple cores. We've played with 4 players still only 1 core 100% and the rest chilling at 0-1%

[spark atlas]

i have a savegame problem on dedicated server. it should save it automatically?

[wooden blaze]

loading the save in a single player, then rebuilding the train station fixed the unloading issue. applied fixed save to server and loaded it and the train is working now.

[gaunt gorge]

@spark atlas It should save every 5 minutes by default, I'm not sure if there's a setting exposed yet to change this, but you can turn on the "save upon leaving" to make it also save when a user leaves.

@quaint apex I haven't tested the newest release yet, but most of the world processes happened in a single thread previously, I need to do some testing myself, have you updated to the latest version today which adds priority? Or the previous version which added multithread support for linux?

[spark atlas]

Ok thanks. I noticed today that about 5h was lost on this savegame, a huge build is gone. I stopped the server, made update and started again 😦

[gaunt gorge]

I would make sure to turn on the save upon player exit just so that when people hop off it saves to be safe.

[quaint apex]

Latest and greatest (173339 currently running)

[gaunt gorge]

The server is experimental and how you have it deployed can affect its ability to save (eg docker)

@quaint apex how big is your save file? It may just be that there's not enough going on in the world to force threading, or maybe there's a bug that's preventing it from launching additional threads.

[spark atlas]

5.2mb

[quaint apex]

~3MB

[gaunt gorge]

@spark atlas I was referencing @quaint apex

[spark atlas]

ah ok 🙂

[gaunt gorge]

@quaint apex Our world file is ~3.2 MB and idle the server is at 30% Age of Empires 4 has distracted us for a couple weeks now, but I like to monitor the situation with dedicated servers.

[quaint apex]

Hmm

gonna try docker. Maybe it's sth with my setup.

[gaunt gorge]

I use docker myself, but I have a pterodactyl game panel that manages everything.

[quaint apex]

Hmm looks like a nice game panel 🤔

[spark atlas]

Oh I just see that you can now create, load and upload savegames in the server manager. Maybe the server has now taken over my old original savegame ....

[weary ice]

My friend can't join my server. He pops up for a second and then "Friend has left the game" shows

I can see him sitting there in the world, so at some point he was able to connect. But he gets kicked out directly after joining.

[spark atlas]

have you inserted the 3 firewall rules? Where is your server? your friends plays over internet with your server?

[weary ice]

All 3 ports are open. Server is next to me, not my gaming pc. my friend connects over the internet, yes

He can log in to the server and join. but gets kicked

[spark atlas]

all 3 ports udp?

[weary ice]

yes

[spark atlas]

hmm good question, latest version? dedi server and client?

Ah, where is running the server? On Linux or Windows?

[weary ice]

Downloaded a docker on Unraid, where can i find version?

[spark atlas]

do you want running the server as a docker container? oO

[weary ice]

I am running the server as a docking container

[spark atlas]

are you trying this with connect for the first time or did it work before?

[weary ice]

so.... it started working now.

actually i had the ports set to TCP/UDP and changed to only UDP

Now everything works 🙂

[spark atlas]

ah wow nice 🙂

[quick mist]

As with most game servers, while the process is now multithreaded, it is still heavily reliant upon one thread. The other threads will be utilized (and the kernel will send them to other cores) when the server is able to do so. You can clearly see in htop that there are multiple threads. they will spin up at need, but the load will not ever be evenly distributed across them as a matter of course.

[feral dawn]

Well enemies spawn nice and fast now, yay

[lavish breach]

So, placing conveyors between machines and splitters sometimes wont connect properly. The conveyor is there, but the items doesn't travel in/out of the machines. So I have to frequently re-place them. Is this a known issue?
Build# 173131

[quaint apex]

afaik UE4 by default pins all threads to a single core to make it easy to run multiple servers on a single machine. I'm asking about the supposedly added multi core feature.

Servers should now use all available cores
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/526870/view/3136189647406732016

As this issue is marked with known issue I guess it doesn't work yet: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/6197ec5f831c85205235f835

You can clearly see in htop that there are multiple threads.
htop shows all threads on the system so totally unrelated.

[quick mist]

yes, I know htop shows all threads. that's why you can filter:

hey look, a bunch of threads all spawned by the original

hey look, some of them are not in point of fact idle

One of the threads even has an 3/4 of an hour of cycle time after restarting the server less than three hours ago

[calm saffron]

Has anyone increased the player limit beyond 4? If yes, does it work? And does it work well?

[quick mist]

there are directions for how do to that on the wiki, your mileage may very significantly

[calm saffron]

Fair enough 🤔

[rose valley]

Heh.. that's the tricky nature of communication. We never intended to say the server will evenly use all your cores. We meant more that the server spawns up to 26 threads (per work set). The game loop is still fundamentally single threaded though and all multi threaded work is happening on ticks. So one core will always work harder than others as a result.

[quick mist]

(might be a good idea to pin that for the next couple days, as it keeps coming up)

[echo wigeon]

I got a quick question. So, Once Satisfactory Update 5 Comes to the Main Branch of the game, To run a server, Do I need to have another copy of the game to run it. Games like ||Farming Simulator 2019|| Makes you have another copy to run it 24/7. Please ping me with a response!

[quick mist]

The server is not associated with one's e. g. Steam or Epic ID, it doesn't "count" against your client license to run it and indeed you can run a hozillion instances of the server if you care to (and have the horsepower for it)

[echo wigeon]

Sounds good. Thanks

[quick mist]

cheers

[quick mist]

A> that's a private non-routable IP address
b> #looking-for-group-old

[uneven timber]

does anyone want to join my server?

uhhh theres a spitter stareing at me

[rose valley]

c> posting ip addresses is against the rules. This one is private but that wasn't your intention.

[uneven timber]

ih

oh

so

how can people join my server without me breaking the rules?

[rose valley]

#looking-for-group-old, is where you.. look for groups 🙂 you'll have to share address information via DMs.

[warm path]

is there a way to change the starting tier of a server?

[spiral tendon]

Yes, happens to me too

[spiral root]

Upload an existing save with the earlier tiers already completed

Or create a save then edit it with SCIM

[warm path]

What's SCIM?

[spiral root]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/

[warm path]

Cool, thanks

[swift delta]

I e saved a few death crates with that calc

And an explorer lol

But still can't get my trains to load and unload correctly

[spiral root]

Wait how you save death crates with it?

Am I missing an awesome feature?

[spiral root]

Best fix for trains not loading/unloading correctly is to load the save locally rebuild the stations and set the paths then upload back to server.

[swift delta]

Loaded a most resent save, found my crate on the map.. raised it up a few meters then did a download of the fix and loaded the new save

[spiral root]

OMG didn't know it could move crates.

[molten fiber]

regarding the pinned message and FG.NetworkQuality <number from 0 to 3> can someone please provide some context of the setting values? What do 0,1,2,3 correlate to?

[swift delta]

You can move basically anything

[quick mist]

they correspond to the Network Quality settings in the game client. 0:Low::3:Ultra

[molten fiber]

Is there a way to change the save game interval? Running our server in a docker 4 cores 8gb ram on nvme ssd, game runs flawless until it tries to save and everything comes to a grinding halt for about several seconds which results in terrible rubber banding and glitched connections (pipes, belts, etc.) that are connected but wont flow material.

[spiral root]

How big is your save or how slow is your storage drive?

[molten fiber]

its nvme reads/writes 1000mb/s

[spiral root]

I am getting max 1-2sec for a save and that is on a 300+hr world

[molten fiber]

look at the write to disk 0.004 seconds its not waiting on disk

underlying hardware for the node is dual xeon 6 core 3ghz (12 cores total) 128gb ram but this docker is setup to use 4 cores and 8gb of memory

[spiral root]

Everything about yours seems to be taking 4x longer - so either a VERY large save or something else is going on.

[sharp cloak]

is the steam server out of date compared to the epic experimental right now?

[spiral root]

Dont believe so no.

[molten fiber]

only finding one folder named saves, and when i look into it - its empty 🤷‍♂️ https://i.imgur.com/8IaEilg.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/nGwjP7X.jpeg

[spiral root]

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

Though you said Docker so may be different for you depending where the .config is mounted.

[spiral root]

173339 is the latest version on SteamCMD also

[molten fiber]

yeah that directory structure is a little different than mine, what's the file extension for the file(s) themselves?

[spiral root]

.sav

[sharp cloak]

ok, how do I update the steamserver via steamcmd?

[hushed gate]

Official Satisfactory Wiki

This is the totally awesome community driven wiki for Satisfactory!! Come on in and check it out!
<3 @spiral root

[sharp cloak]

I tried running the install command again, but that didn't work?

[molten fiber]

saves only 4mb looks like https://i.imgur.com/sXD8NtJ.jpeg

[slim spoke]

run the install cmd or check the wiki

[spiral root]

Install command again is exactly what you would do

[sharp cloak]

guess I

'll try again

[slim spoke]

install in same spot u did 1st time or it wont update

[spiral root]

Mine is about 2mb so I could maybe explain twice the size but 4x seems odd.

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files#Autosave_slots_and_Autosave_interval to reduce how often it autosaves is my only suggestion

[molten fiber]

ty that's exactly what i was hoping to do - change the frequency of saving

[spiral root]

But you have to run it in console after every start

[molten fiber]

oof

[spiral root]

Yep they haven't brought it to the front yet 😦

[molten fiber]

what determines who can use commands in the console btw?

[spiral root]

Only Admins who have verified with Admin password can

You need to be putting that in the server console not the client one though

[sharp cloak]

Yeah, I'm an idiot. I ran the linux comand and installed in ~ :-p

[quick mist]

No you do not. the change is written to disk upon a graceful server shutdown

[spiral root]

Great Experience with all 3 I use - wont name names though as server rules.

[spiral root]

Oh really that is great news

Don't use either of those for this server though 8GB would be plenty, I have used them for 15 years for other projects - I plan to use Oracle in the end once either ARM is supported or a workaround is found as Oracles Arm Servers are awesome.

I wont like I am only using DO ATM because 60days $100 credit, then I may migrate back to Linode for this too.

[sweet hemlock]

cant seem to update my server

[slim spoke]

run install again

[molten fiber]

@spiral root thanks much for all your help and info 👍

[upper girder]

in today's video, it was mentioned that we will need to run an experimental server for an experimental game and the opposite for early access version. Will I be able to move my experimental save to the early access version?

[slim spoke]

yes when its the same version of game

[near mason]

im pretty sure experimental and early access use two different versions of the engine but probably yes

[tame solar]

they do at the moment but won't after U5 and dedis release on stable

[slim spoke]

#looking-for-group-old

[near mason]

ah ok

[neat notch]

bacon is the answer

to everything

[quick mist]

not everything

[spiral root]

Yes and the answer to everything is 5

[quick mist]

for example, it's not the answer to "what besides more bacon should I put on this sandwich?"

[spiral root]

So 5 bacon is Perfection.

[spiral root]

The answer would be lots more bacon

[quick mist]

that is a subset of 'more bacon'

[spiral root]

This is invalid... BUT...

This works... Confused.com

[elfin nest]

Where do I go to change the save interval?

[slim spoke]

wiki page for dedicated servers

[spiral root]

https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers/Configuration_files#Autosave_slots_and_Autosave_interval

[quick mist]

Can you replicate this offline or is it strictly a DS issue?

[spiral root]

Honestly not tried yet.

Was just getting very confused why this wasn't working.

[quick mist]

Trains remain... cantankerous

[spiral root]

Worse it WAS working the top one until todays update

Then my train and a load of pipes (more specifically pipe junctions) broke.

2 patches ago something changed and junctions were the base swatch instead of the pipe swatch, then todays update anything that was coloured the base swatch stopped working so essentially any junction I made since the weekend and today.

[elfin nest]

Ty CezzBB

[spiral root]

YW

[neat notch]

ur wrong because bacon

[quick mist]

Bacon is fantastic, but I stand by what I said. There are some cases where it is not the answer.

[neat notch]

ik im just really bored and super understimulated aaand my pain meds just kicked in so yeeeeeet

[quick mist]

er.. have a safe flight?

[neat notch]

flight?

[quick mist]

the high from the pain meds?

[neat notch]

you dont get high when you have pain, it goes to the pain< [the pain meds]

[quick mist]

you didn't say there was actual pain involved, and I try not to make assumptions.

[neat notch]

you just assumed i do drugs...

[quick mist]

you literally stated you were.

[neat notch]

i said i was taking pain meds

[quick mist]

which are.. work with me here.. drugs.

[neat notch]

yeah ik, but dont treat me like a druggie just cause i said im on pain killers

[slim spoke]

dont tell people that then

[quick mist]

I'm not treating anyone like anything; I just did not assume something to be true that was not stated to be.

[neat notch]

dont but in then?

[slim spoke]

common sense for win

well u tell people im doing drugs

duh its hte net

[lost pawn]

you

[neat notch]

or maybe when someone says they take pain killers, maybe they have pain issues, dont assume stuff about people

[quick mist]

That's my point. I did not assume anything.

[neat notch]

if your gonna assume take the first 3 letters and apply them to your self

[slim spoke]

anyways life is ruff carry an umbrella

[neat notch]

yes you did, you assumed i do pain killers for fun

[quick mist]

No I did not.

[neat notch]

bruh

[slim spoke]

no we assumed ur were doing drugs which u are since u told us

we dont care why lol

[neat notch]

what ever fuck this server

[rich void]

go back and read, very slowly. He didn't imply or assumed, but was not sensitive either

[quick mist]

You in point of fact assumed that I made that assumption which is frankly amusing.

[slim spoke]

see if u didnt bring ur thing to the community chat it wouldnt be a community chat

funny how things work like that

[karmic sable]

hey all I have just set up a dedicated server and wanted to test how well it ran with more people on it, if anyone is interested in joining a new save pm me

[slim spoke]

read pinned messsages of #looking-for-group-old .. should post there

[karmic sable]

oh sorry

[slim spoke]

dont be sorry just its better spot to post where people look

[tender girder]

Hey guys, is the SteamCMD ID for the EA Dedicated Servers known yet ?

[quick mist]

it's been on the Wiki since day one

[slim spoke]

lol

[tender girder]

I'm referring to Jace's Video from today, that going forward, there will be 2 versions of Dedicated Servers - one for EA and one for Experimental Branch. For Experimental Branch I got "1690800" - my question was for EA - could you point me to the entry in the wiki?

[quick mist]

Oh, for the mainline release. No, that is not yet known. It may be that it would use the same ID but with a -beta experimental argument once both are available

but they are currently not; I'm sure they will let us know once they're actually, you know, public.

[tender girder]

I see - alright thanks

[thick briar]

Is anyone else having issues with mismatched Server / Game version after updating via SteamCMD?

[slim spoke]

make sure to update server and client

[thick briar]

can you clarify?

[slim spoke]

update both things

or wont match

[thick briar]

The Game is updated on our gaming pc's. The server is updated Via SteamCMD and verified.

[slim spoke]

game autoupdates .. servers hve to run cmd

make sure they didnt install new files in wrong folder for server

[thick briar]

hmmm... That would be odd... I used the same command string as I did when I installed and nothing has changed

[quick mist]

did you shut the server down before attempting to update it?

check the logs for the version the server believes itself to be

[thick briar]

Yes I stopped the server software. THEN Updated. Then relaunched.

[slim spoke]

verify client files also

[thick briar]

LogInit: Build: ++FactoryGame+main-CL-172183
LogInit: Engine Version: 4.26.1-172183+++FactoryGame+main

Patch Notes: Early Access (EXPERIMENTAL) - v0.5.0.12 – Build 173339

today

[thick briar]

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

That is what I am using

[quick mist]

well that command looks tailored based on the path you have chosen for Linux

[thick briar]

Straight from the Wiki, with the Force_install_dir before the login because of the error steamcmd gives,

[quick mist]

more crooked from the wiki apparently than straight

[slim spoke]

login then install

[quick mist]

and use a Windows path, not a Linux one

that's the important pint.

[slim spoke]

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

he has wrong order

[quick mist]

pay attention Sanctum, this is a Windows server; not Linux

[slim spoke]

he isnt logging in first

[thick briar]

Steamcmd straight up says to switch the order.

[slim spoke]

doesnt matter what os if u dont log into steamcmd

[quick mist]

steamCMD will log in by default with whichever account was last logged in

[slim spoke]

the paste is from the wiki dude

[quick mist]

best to correct the thing that's actually incorrect.

[slim spoke]

Windows
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer +app

notice order

[thick briar]

ok I updated to:

steamcmd +force_install_dir "R:\Game Servers\steamcmd\satisfactorydedicatedserver" +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

So far it looks like its updating.

[slim spoke]

hahahaha

[thick briar]

I notice the order. Try running it and you will notice steamcmd says to change the order to what I am using.

[slim spoke]

anyways its over yay no reason for pings

[quick mist]

oh really?

[thick briar]

Yes. Really.

Please stop trying to be condescending. I'm not new to any of this..

[slim spoke]

where dose it say to reorder?

i see api starts it logs in first thing

then starts updating

[thick briar]

And I don't get on here to blow smoke out my rear just to get a chuckle.

[slim spoke]

but hey ur log pic

[lapis imp]

Is it possible to use SCIM to pick up a box that is stuck, in a dedicated server game?

[quick mist]

your amazing refutation of my point... demonstrated my point. so, er, well done?

[quick mist]

yes

[slim spoke]

btw incase anyone is confused im commenting on nexis's pic

[thick briar]

right there in yellow

[quick mist]

also patting yourself on the back about how experienced you are and how you're not new to any of this, it took nearly 10 minutes to stop using the Linux commandline, so.

[slim spoke]

right above that logged into steam public

dont let the text confuse u

its logged in before yellow

hence it does client things

and thats a warning i bet

cause errors stop things warning just look pretty in color

and ur udpating lol

[thick briar]

FFS I used a CLI Pointer that works in both operating systems more often than not. Yes I asked for help because it normally works and isn't a problem using the command the way I was using it.

Thank you for the suggestions.

[slim spoke]

warning/error is repeated almost daily in here cause people dont realize that

[thick briar]

Ok. nod

[quick mist]

You're welcome, and I'm glad your server is now updated.

Have fun, and stay effective!

[lapis imp]

how? I don't think I have a save file for this game

or is it the "steam autocloud" file?

[slim spoke]

#faq has save location

[lapis imp]

I mean I have the save location, I just don't see one for this dedicated server world

[slim spoke]

if its on dedicated server its about os.. wiki page has location

if u played on dedi u have to get save from the server

windows its in folder near ur game save/configs

linux i think its in install folder

[quick mist]

Linux saves files are in $HOME/.config/Epic/[...]

[slim spoke]

thats why i send to wiki 😛

[lapis imp]

Ok, so I need my buddy who runs the server to do it

[quick mist]

yes.

[lapis imp]

that's what I thought, damn guess I'll wait until tomorrow

[wet warren]

I am putting the Session Type to Friends Only and it does not save

[gilded orchid]

roguebros23 is trying to invite me to he's game and even though he even sent me a friends request nothing show's up on my end

[quick mist]

that does not sound like a dedicated server connection

to join a DS, you must be on the Experimental branch. then from the Main Menu go into the Server manager, and click Add Server. Punch in the server's address and you're off to the races.

[wet warren]

We are Experimental branch

How do I add myself as Admin

[mossy apex]

If I'm running the dedicated server as a service, where does the save files go in windows?

[grand tendon]

anybody know what this is meaning in terms of me able to join my freinds server

[mossy apex]

Sounds like you can't connect to the server. Closed port maybe?

[north fern]

how can i check if all ports are open

[mossy apex]

Default ports are 15777, 15000, 7777

for dedicated servers at least

[grand tendon]

^

[north fern]

i have all of those set up

[mossy apex]

canyouseeme . org

you have them opened on the local computer and your router?

[grand tendon]

hes checking rn

[mossy apex]

i run everything in windows server OS so I have to open the ports on my server firewall

[mossy apex]

Answered my own question: C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server

[north fern]

ok ports are down for some reason

i just set them up and everything on my router tho

[mossy apex]

doesn't hurt to reboot your equipment and double check it applied correctly

[north fern]

https://gyazo.com/4d7998d3ac4d341d19d1f64fc67635f9

there all there and up but it says there not on that website

[mossy apex]

you need a source IP

you can run IPCONFIG in a command prompt and get your IP address, and put the IP of the computer running the server

[north fern]

there is one there i just didnt send it

[mossy apex]

oh okay

[sand galleon]

Sorry about people being super condescending here; I got a taste of it too when joining for the first time and asking a legitimate question (which, funny enough, found an issue with the "all-perfect" wiki).

Just to chime in on your issue: There seems to have been an update literally today for SteamCMD (at least for Linux) that now produces that warning if your flags are (apparently) "out of order". Anyone not having the issue likely is using an older version of SteamCMD. Other than the error, I personally did not experience any issues past it, but still reordered my flags for future use.

[north fern]

what do i make the start anad end port

just 15000-15000 ect

[mossy apex]

what you have should be good

my only other guess is local firewall, you can try turning off your firewall and see if that helps

in windows/linux

that or your ISP is blocking something

[north fern]

i did

[mossy apex]

which is rare, but can happen

[sand galleon]

@feral dawn Official PR merged btw for Ptero

[wet warren]

I still need help I can't put Friends Only because it does not save what should I do

[north fern]

YOOO i fixed it

thanks man :))

[mossy apex]

Awesome! NP!

[sand galleon]

Ensure you add the server exec to your firewall and turn it back on. Not good to leave it fully off.

[north fern]

i did thank you

[peak wagon]

im getting this crappy thing with conveyors on update 5 using ded server. Doesnt happen if using standard server.
Pretty much items going into anything from a conveyor kid of "pause" for a second before going into the building.

anyone else getting this

[empty linden]

connect using port :7777

[slim spoke]

15777 is to start connection

7777 is data port

[sand galleon]

This has kinda been a known issue for some time whenever an item moves over a belt "seam" (ie. where two belts connect). They've been making improvements with every update, but it still happens to me sometimes.

[zealous cairn]

I hate it how when I first try to connect to my dedicated server, I have to hit retry a few times before I get the option to join 😐

so annoying hahahah

[slim spoke]

lol

[zealous cairn]

it always works just as I'm about to SSH into the VM to figure out wtf is going on

[peak wagon]

thanks. does the flow actually happen or is the flow bugged? just visuals?

[sand galleon]

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm fairly certain it's just visual.

[quick mist]

you can check by watching the contents of whatever the belt is feeding in to I reckon. Though with sufficiently pastified belt systems that could get tricky

[zealous cairn]

Hmmmm - anyone else noticed power slugs etc disappearing when you get near them?

ie it seems to show the slug - ones that I've already collected - and keep showing it until you get within a certain range - then it disappears....

same as the fart flowers

[quick mist]

that's a longstanding issue which is also present in single player; not unique to dedicated servers

[zealous cairn]

hmmm ok

[spark atlas]

Can I actually increase the number of autosaves?

[slim spoke]

no

it does 3 but u can pick time between them

[graceful reef]

I cant see dedicated servers branch in steam. is there already a solution?

[slim spoke]

pinned messages .. has link to wiki

steamcmd instructions and all u need

[graceful reef]

So, if i dont see it in steam i have to use the steamcmd?

[slim spoke]

yup

[graceful reef]

alright

[inner saddle]

if you are using windows, the easy way is to use powershell GSM (based on linux GSM)

easy to manage, auto backup save, can manage multiple servers from multiple game

Hey! Can someone please confirm to me the latest server version? I tried setting up a server on a digital ocean droplet yesterday, I think everything's done because I can see the server has a ping, but I'm unable to connect due to version clashes. Wondering if the latest experimental build that dropped yesterday is causing this, or if people still have working servers. Thanks in advance 🙂

So to confirm, whenever a version of the game is pushed, the server stuff also updates at the same time?

[slim spoke]

yes

Looks like i've got some reinstalling to do, thanks.

I've tried updating the game using the following command:

steamcmd +force_install_dir "/home/steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer" +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

Steamcmd was able to verify that the update took place, and that is the place that the server was originally installed. I'm still getting a version mismatch however, saying the server version is 173131, but the game version is 173339. Any tips?

should steam be Steam?

I'm using linux, so I don't thinks so.
