they started dropping again after another reboot

slim spoke
#

yes

rose valley
#

To disable ficsmas on your dedicated server, you need to run this command from the server console:

FG.DisableSeasonalEvents 1

EDIT: You must reload the game or restart the server for the setting to apply. (You can just create a save and load it from the save manager)

tropic wraith
#

hmm

#

anyone could verify a bug for me?

slim spoke
#

thanx bogdan ๐Ÿ™‚

tropic wraith
#

can clients (so i guess everyone on dedi servers) change valve settings?

#

they seem to be ignored when i change them as normal client on non-dedi server

slim spoke
#

no

tropic wraith
#

cant be helped i guess

sharp geode
#

man this latest experimental update has introduced so many timeout issues

#

been getting this all day

rose valley
pure cloak
#

so... Ficsmas is on by default? Or do we have to do FG.DisableSeasonalEvents 0?

slim spoke
#

To disable ficsmas on your dedicated server, you need to run this command from the server console:

pure cloak
#

that's not what I'm asking

slim spoke
#

its on by default

pure cloak
#

alright thank you

slim spoke
#

thats why he only said how to disable it

reef lily
#

everyones talking about ficsmas and saying they are seeing presents but i dont see any? is it just on experimental right now not EA?

#

or do i need to force update my server or something

full vector
#

should be EA too, but it depends on timezone, might not be on for you quite yet

reef lily
#

anywhere i can check when it might?

slim spoke
#

load ea

reef lily
#

already did

slim spoke
#

it should be there after day turns to 30th

#

check ur clock/date timezone

reef lily
#

7:43AM
11.30.21

slim spoke
#

restart stuff

full vector
#

yeah might need to restart the server after it swapped over to 30th

reef lily
#

that was my next question if i needed to restart the server

slim spoke
#

something is diff about ur stuff

reef lily
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

restarting the server did thye trick

languid quail
#

im at a loss, my server is still inaccessible from the outside I the wan and public IP are the same, I tried disabling the firewall in the router / enabling upnp / disabling the fire wall of my pc but still noone can connect

slim spoke
#

foreward the ports thru router

languid quail
#

yeah ports are forwarded in the router settings

#

but when I run netstat - aon or try online to check if its open they're still indicated as closed

slim spoke
#

udp ports

#

run a port scan from browser for tcp and udp ports

#

with server off

#

then run with it on

#

you have to troubleshoot ur end

reef lily
#

win + R then resmon.exe

#

go to network tab and check the listening ports to see if its listening for that port

slim spoke
#

make sure defender and firewalls and antivirus and any other shit like that is fixed

#

restart server after any changes

languid quail
#

I'm trying this out on a terraria server to make it simpler, it is listening to port 7777 but address is ipv4 unspecified

reef lily
#

you need to set the ipv4 to the host pc network address

#

your telling the router when a request comes in on that port it should redirect the request to THIS ip address, being the server

languid quail
#

how do I do that

slim spoke
#

dont use -multihome

reef lily
#

win + R

languid quail
#

rn its 0:0:0:0:7777

reef lily
#

CMD

#

type 'ipconfig'

#

that wil give you a layout of the network info

#

look for ipv4 on the server. thats the address for that server on your local network. plug that in and the router knows which device to send the requests to.

languid quail
#

I have the port forward setting with this systems ipv4 but its still unspecified

#

hang on lemme try something

reef lily
#

send me a screenshot of your port forwarding

languid quail
#

it needs to be connected directly to the router right

slim spoke
#

u can use -multihome=ipv4ip

#

force the server to listen only there

languid quail
#

right now this system is connected to a mesh wifi ethernet out, just noticed my pc isn't in the dhcp list

slim spoke
#

but shouldnt multihome=0.0.0.0.

languid quail
#

only the mesh router

anyone else having trouble to access the ficsmas Calender in the hub?

slim spoke
#

Snutt โ€” Today at 8:02 AM
actually the stuff that showed up today is fics*mas stuff from last year and it's kind of bugging the game out so we'll have to push a patch today to remove it :sadface:

wild dew
#

ok :D

slim spoke
#

also its not december

wild dew
#

Well... true :D

reef pond
slim spoke
#

whatever

carmine jay
#

not yet

wild dew
#

So time to wait for later today :D

carmine jay
#

i wish the server manager didn't take so long to connect to a local server... :/

wild dew
#

I wish the console was still accessable with not matching update types.

slim spoke
#

just change client to right one

rose valley
#

The connection takes a while cause it needs to wait for a DTLS handshake. That's just SSL doing it's thing. It's the price we have to pay for some modicum of security.

wild dew
carmine jay
#

for a local server though? it's a gigabit pipe.

rose valley
#

Sorry, replied to the wrong post there.

slim spoke
#

so u just change to the right client and its fine

wild dew
slim spoke
#

play with other version

#

properties betas ... nothing .. if your on exp

#

to change to ea in steam

rose valley
#

As for running the console on mismatching versions, we don't handle ABI breakages and doing so would be a terrible hassle so the only safe call is to only allow strict 1:1 connection to be established. The API that will come at some point won't have an ABI though. So it's going to cover the remaining use cases.

wild dew
#

Ah okay. It's just a bit annoying cause the server client is set up as a service on a linux pc to which my friend doesnt have access to restart it (so the server would update automaticly when rrestarting)

reef gull
#

I'm still curious what is going to end up in this API, Bogdan. Considering that I created a mod that makes a HTTP API for various functions. Obviously, that knowledge will come in time.

slim spoke
#

give your friend admin and he could exit

wild dew
rose valley
#

I was not aware of that. What one would expect from such an API: manage players, save games, server settings. What does you mod cover?

slim spoke
#

everyone has 2 clients

#

play with the right one

reef gull
#

I don't do anything with servers, yet... but power, factory, geo-positioning, statistics

slim spoke
#

and i was talking about giving server exit command

reef gull
#

I doubt I will interfere with saves

#

I don't like the idea of trying to mess with that

#

especially considering you guys have a method that would be considered "approved" anyways

rose valley
#

Well that's the kind of stuff we need to mess with ourselves. I intend to make the API extensible for modding purposes. And our API will have to be secure.

reef gull
#

Obviously

#

We'll cross that bridge when we get there

#

Welcome to hit me up whenever, either here or the modding discord.

#

or send the alpaca

rose valley
#

It will be some time before it starts shaping up. We'll find ya! alpaca

reef gull
#

I talk a lotta smack in the modding discord, so I am not hard to find... but I also just as willing to be of assistance all the same.

cobalt shard
#

What's the best way to back up the server? Just copy the folder to which it's installed? (Dedicated / Steamcmd)

reef gull
#

Talking the saves?

cobalt shard
#

yeah I guess so

reef gull
#

I used to be a disaster recovery specialist (i.e. master of backups), so wasn't sure if you were going for server or saves.

#

Saves would be smaller to grab, linux or Windows?

cobalt shard
#

Windows

#

I could do a folder level backup to a shared drive on a machine that gets windows server backups every night

reef gull
#

saves are located in %localappdata%\FactoryGame\Saved, iirc

versed zephyr
#

yea, same location on a server as if you were running a regular game

reef gull
#

Yeah, the save files are not in use unless written or read from, so they would be in a stable state to grab

versed merlin
wild dew
#

is there a simple way to edit the amount of auto saves? (like every 20mins or so

its on the wiki page

The rocks that had been blown up reappeared, but I couldn't blow them off or place equipment

#

Is this a server problem?

slim spoke
#

its part of the game code

#

thats like update 2

golden jolt

what?

#

I don't understand

slim spoke

compare that one to current

or search that one in there

proper mist

my mp save crashed and now my friend cant load into it, or wheen i send him the save and he load it, i cant join on the save ๐Ÿ˜ฆ
we both reinstall the game, we try it from steam and epic also
we even saved the whole map as a blueprint with the satisfactory calculator and loaded it onto a new save, it doesnt work either.
there should be a problem with some structures, that happened 1 week before the update 5 release.
we played on experimental
a new game works or older saves
but the oldest save from this season dont work either
we try to make it work since this day xD

OK, it's solved

I let the server read the archive again

slim spoke
#

cheers have fun

#

tune into the dev stream they are going to talk about ficsmas soon

vague herald
#

Is there no ficsmas on dedicated servers?

slim spoke
#

yes but its broken

#

u have to restart the server but it doesnt matter its doesnt work

#

u cant do stuff

vague herald
#

ah, to bad! Well, they're probably going to fix it soon

slim spoke
#

watch the live stream thats on now

#

i just said it above u

compact basin
#

Anyone know where on this command file do I put FG.DisableSeasonalEvents 1 so i can disable the ficsmas on the server?

slim spoke
#

pinned messages

compact basin
#

i see the pinnined messages, bnut i dont know where to put in in the file

slim spoke
#

read teh msg

storm glen
#

from the server console:

#

you run it ONCE and then its saved

compact basin
#

is this not the server console?

storm glen
#

no

#

that right there is a service file...

#

you can access the server console ingame...

compact basin
#

ah

storm glen
#

You must reload the game or restart the server for the setting to apply

slim spoke
#

and he dmed to tell me to read

#

hahah

compact basin
#

unlike you i didnt know what the server console was, so yeah, maybe you should have asked instead of being rude

compact basin
slim spoke
#

why would i ask lol

molten fiber
#

fwiw you will want to be careful adjusting the save intervals especially if the server has scheduled restarts, lost an hours worth of work because I did a dumb

slim spoke
#

ohhh ouchy

#

at least you found it before u really got stung

compact basin
#

i have it set to save automatically when someone leaves the server

molten fiber
#

if there's a scheduled restart on the service provider level, and you're logged in while it restarts, its not going to save before the restart, you will lose whatever progress all the way back to the last autosave

storm glen
#

so its hardware restarts ๐Ÿ™‚

molten fiber
#

im running my setup in a docker and it restarts every 6 hours since there were so many periodic updates prior to update 5 going to early access

#

so the container has a scheduled update i set

compact basin
#

ok, so ive put the dsiable events command on the console. saved the game, restarted the server, and its still showing up

quick question
I heard in the stream that people who "time travelled" and have the update already will never get the patch, I have the update so does that mean I'm not gonna get the content? My clock says 30th Nov but I still have presents dropping from the sky

rich void
#

If you set the system clock to the future to unlock certain stuff now with the in-game calendar, and then the patch hits to add new content based on the date. You may miss out on those content because you "already unlocked" that day's reward.

xmas is all bugged out anyways til they patch the new stuff

yay xmas early ๐Ÿ˜„

#

so what's the deal with xmas stuff rn, just come back from work. Bugged and should not be in the game yet i assume?

slim spoke
#

tmrw maybe we get new ficsmas

#

might be day or 2 late so be patient hahahahahaha

#

they managed to slip that in on stream

feral dawn
#

santa being lazy, pfft

rich void
# glad sequoia no, it's set to 30th november

Yeah, that is fine as that is the current date. my point was the "time travel" issue, according to the stream. If you do change the current date to something in the future, you will miss out on the rewards from the new content even if you revert back to normal date, so don't do it basically.

For all , as for System Requirements:
I have been running a Dedicated Server for up to 4 players on an i5 5250U , and (surprisingly) it can handle up to 4 players, still in early stages of game, but seems processor requirements are not extreme. It does take up quite an amount of memory, currently it takes up 7G of the 14G allocated to the VM. Running Vanilla on Ubuntu 20, with ProxmoxVE as hypervisor.

fervent wharf
#

So, I am looking at the wiki, and trying to find what you put in to make it experimental. Does anyone know that startup line???

fervent wharf
#

linux

alpine dawn
#

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

fervent wharf
#

Awesome, thank you!!!

alpine dawn
#

though I dont recommend you install that

fervent wharf
#

Why not?

alpine dawn
#

because its highly unstable

#

and unless you plan on doing bug reports its not a good plan

slim spoke
#

there is no new toys or features on exp

#

its only pure testing pain right now

alpine dawn
#

you are better off on EA if you actually just want to play the game

fervent wharf
#

I have been exp the whole time, might as well stick to it for when new stuff does drop!

slim spoke
#

ok u were warned lol if u cant connect u know what to do

#

-beta public and play ea

fervent wharf
#

I think I will be fine lol, but yes, all I gotta do is remove the -beta install line!

slim spoke
#

no u have to force it off

fervent wharf
#

ohhh change it to public got you!

slim spoke
#

๐Ÿ™‚

fervent wharf
#

Thank you for that, I would have been pulling my hair out trying to figure that out in the future lol

slim spoke
#

if u dont force it, steamcmd will just remember it was gettin exp and install that

fervent wharf
#

All good, I keep a sticky note with all of my commands on it so I dont even have to type them lol. I now have one for exp and public!

alpine dawn
#

just look in the wiki

#

literally everything is there

slim spoke
#

yup just thought would let ya know ahead of time

#

have fun

fervent wharf
#

I see it now, but yeah, I like to copy and paste right from my desktop instead of pulling a brownser up every time lol

vagrant ravine
#

How much memory the server needs is probably dependent on how much is actively rendered vs simulated

#

If all 4 people are working in the same area, the rendered footprint is smaller than if you're spread out. I had 4 ppl on mine and the ram usage was only 5500, for example

fervent wharf
#

Thats why I just gave mine 128GB and said go with it!!! lol

frosty gale
#

Do SaaS providers do some sort of which craft to reduce the resources consumed by Satisfactory servers? Are they just really unstable/providing the bare minimum? Or am I just getting reamed by AWS/paying for way more resources than I need?

#

it has nothing to do with the game servers

#

#

do in console then exit server and start it up

yea, I found the wiki where it gave the console command, but I could swear I heard a luanch argument this morning. either way, it's disabled now. Thanks

# quick mist Using AWS for game servers is going to cost more than other providers; using AWS...

That's reasonable. But the average price I'm seeing is ~$5-10/mo with supposedly "up to 10 players", whereas I pay $40/mo. I know some of that is their shitty inflexible package pricing options (I wanted 8gb of RAM, which automatically comes with a load more SSD capacity than I need, ignoring that I am stuck with an SSD option). Just wondering if they are doing something different to reduce the general cost, or if their servers are going to be unstable because they are providing the absolute bare minimum to spin the server up.

quick mist
#

most game server providers overprovision their hardware, and use shared resources, which reduces their costs but at the expense of performance if a lot of their customers are actually using their services to capacity. I would be highly suspicious of a $10/mo offering claiming to support "up to 10" players in a SF server doing anything more than standing around in a circle, singing camp songs at the HUB

frosty gale
quick mist
#

same. With hosting services, you definitely get what you pay for.

frosty gale
#

It does feel bad to pay for 160gb of SSD space, when I really only need ~20gb

alpine dawn

this is why colocation exists

silver zealot
#

can anybody tell me why I am now getting this error? the address used to be fine, I used it for about a week up until today's update.

#

address is an FQDN, not an IP

quick mist
#

that's odd, if it's a proper domain name it should work without issue

#

do you mind DMing me the hostname so that I can test a couple things?

alpine dawn
#

is it a dyndns thing?

#

or is the IP attached to that hostname static

quick mist
#

or if you're cool with it post it here

frosty gale
#

im trying to get the dedicated server running with a bigger player cap. i changed the file and set as read only but we still can only get 4 players max

silver zealot
#

It's a dynamic DNS name via noIP, but that hasn't ever caused issues with other games. I'll pm the address.

alpine dawn
#

no I suspect the ip has changed and maybe possibly the game cached the wrong IP

#

I would suggest as a troubleshooting step to ping the hostname and get the ip address and try to put the ip in directly to see if that loads

#

if that works then we know there is something going on with name to ip caching in game

quick mist
#

the hostname no longer existed.

alpine dawn
#

oh

#

oops

#

important to keep your dynamic ip leases up to date

#

er dynamic dns to ip leases

I have a dedicated server running via a third party provider with ftp access. For whatever reason death crates and inventory full crates do not drop. I am assuming it is specific to multiplayer because everyone on the server has the same issue. Is this a known bug? Otherwise, is there some server config that may be set? I at least haven't found any config that is specific to crates. Thanks for any help.

#

u did it wrong somehow sorry to say

#

start with remove what u did

run server and server manager console ..exit the server

then change the file wiki says and put the section for the max players at the top as first section in the ini

#

or it wont work

cheers have fun with the server ๐Ÿ™‚

vagrant ravine
#

Since the client updated, do we need to update the server as well?

slim spoke
#

ya

vagrant ravine
#

Does the wiki explain how to do a graceful shutdown and update the server etc? I don't see there being a CLI for the server for some reason

slim spoke
#

server manager .. console .. exit

#

or quit

vagrant ravine
#

Nothing comes up under console

slim spoke
#

update is run install line

#

ingame server manger

#

goto the server console

#

i dont know what it does it will send cmd though

vagrant ravine
slim spoke
#

ur server is outdate ea

#

so update and play with ea client

vagrant ravine
#

Indeed. Which is why I'm trying to do a graceful shutdown

slim spoke
#

use ea client

#

well before

vagrant ravine
#

This is the early access client

slim spoke
#

just kill the server and run install

#

do whatever else after

#

when u can control the server

vagrant ravine
#

Well it's saved since nobody was in the server in hours so it should be fine I guess

lilac juniper
#

So I have 2 servers behind a firewall. How can I get to both servers if I can't change the Beacon Port of 15000 to something else?

full vector
#

who says you cant change it?

vagrant ravine
#

You can change it in the config file afaik

lilac juniper
#

OK, was looking at the Wiki

full vector
#

it also automatically increments, so you could just pass 15000 and 15001 and two servers should be able to run fine

vagrant ravine
#

Do a graceful shutdown once and the config files are generated

lilac juniper
#

Can't do it by passing the port to the EXE?

vagrant ravine
#

Just open both ports for the host ip

slim spoke
#

you change it in launch line

crude tapir
#

Just how I live life. All ports open

slim spoke
#

ohhh so thats ur ports i could smell

#

muhahahaha

heady parcel
#

....question...what do I do with the christmas-presents???

crude tapir
#

depends on how you were throughout this year I'd suppose

heady parcel
worldly pond
#

Anyone else having seg faults after the latest server update?

crude tapir
#

We were, and we swapped to EA and have only had one crash since, and it seems related to Programmable Splitters, at least for us.

worldly pond
#

swapped to EA?

slim spoke
#

in install line before validate put -beta public

#

run the installer to get ea server and use ea client

worldly pond
#

Ahh

#

Was hoping to stick to the main branch instead of going back to the experimental

slim spoke
#

you are

#

if ur on ea then its diff story

#

most with those issues are on exp though

#

jump in ur game and look in left corner does it say experimental in the red

worldly pond
#

No, when U5 went live I swapped to the main EA branch

slim spoke
#

k

#

change all the ports in programmable splitters then set what u want .. maybe its leaving port defaulted on none/any whatever it is

worldly pond
#

Weird bug, I'll test it out

slim spoke
#

in ur launch stuff do u have -multihome?

#

@worldly pond

worldly pond
#

Yes

slim spoke
#

0.0.0.0

#

?

#

if u do remove it

#

that was a temp bug workaround

#

thats probably why .. that cmd binds to all adapters

worldly pond
#

Looks like it was a bug with steamcmd not closing it's connection properly, it's fixed now

#

Thanks for the help!

slim spoke
#

cool

#

have fun

heady parcel
#

...so...no answer about the presents.... ๐Ÿ˜ข

slim spoke
#

wait til ficsmas starts for u

lilac juniper
#

My apologies as I probably didn't explain my setup correctly.

Router1
15000->15000 PC1
15777->15777
7777->7777

15111->15111 PC2
15888->15888
8888->8888

I'm not sure this will work.

heady parcel
slim spoke
#

they patched the game and it goes live on the 1st

summer ravine
#

i know some games work like that

crude tapir
#

it's based off...... the future

slim spoke
#

server time

fervent wharf
#

Is there anyway to make the server always restart and not pause when no one is connected? I have to turn that back off every time I restart the service.

lilac juniper
#

@fervent wharf check this out.

fervent wharf
#

Yeah, I know, but every time the server restarts, its always checked again.

lilac juniper
#

Hmm... never changes for me for some reason. I unchecked it and never touched it again.

fervent wharf
#

Weird...

slim spoke
#

change it then save the game then reload the game

#

sometimes ingame settings u had to save the game then it would remember the changes

#

and dedis write out the inis if u gracefully shutdown the server with exit

kind depot
#

Anyone available to help me set mine up?

kind depot
#

I've gone through the wiki and my friend still see's my information as unauthenticated

slim spoke
#

did u connect to it first

#

and take control to set admin pass

kind depot
#

my friends view

slim spoke
#

^^^^

kind depot
#

I'm on it running around

slim spoke
#

check the ports cause its offline for them

kind depot
#

Would I need to restart my pc? I don't see why. I remote connected to my router and opened the ports and it seemed to have saved

#

Does he join on me through my friends list? Or should he set it up in the server thing

slim spoke
#

server manager

kind depot
#

open ports on UDP? Or both

slim spoke
#

udp

kind depot
#

15777 7777 15000?

#

Does this port forwarding just open the ports in general or only for the application (satisfactory/satisfactoryserver)

#

I'm very inexperienced in networking stuff. I own a fancy router now and it's interesting to learn how to use it

slim spoke
#

set it for the server exe

kind depot
#

I dont think I had that option, I'll try again

#

Oh, i'm running it as a service

#

But also I'll try again with what you said

slim spoke
#

application is an exe

#

so just give that the right to use the ports

#

and when service runs it then it can use

kind depot
#

Yes I understand that but it didn't auto fill or anything or ask me to search for it

slim spoke
#

service isnt using the ports the server is

kind depot
#

Isn't hte service running the server file

slim spoke
#

then router do port forwarding

#

or send to ip

kind depot
#

I did the setup with nssm or w.e so it runs at startup and auto restarts. So my dedicated server is running as a service

slim spoke
#

or try user manual for ur setup

kind depot
#

Yeah I had to do manual and it didn't have me locate the exe. I just typed in Satisfactory Server Service

#

because that's how it shows up in task manager

slim spoke
#

im not doing all that other stuff

#

lol

#

service means nothing

kind depot
#

I want my buddies to log on when they feel like, if i'm at work and such. So i want to automate it

#

Once i get this working i'll probably set it up on the laptop

runic mesa
#

If youโ€™re running it on windows youโ€™ll likely need to setup the ports on the Windows Firewall as well as your router

kind depot
#

My friend is in his game at the server manager right now. If i make changes, how long will it take for it to show on his end

#

Like should he try to refresh or anything

slim spoke
#

it will show when u get right settings and restart the server so it can use the ports

kind depot
#

He has to add my ip under his server manager right

slim spoke
#

he wont have to do anythng

#

they

kind depot
#

it

#

thanks

slim spoke
#

they use ur net ip

#

or the servers

kind depot
#

command to restart the server?

slim spoke
#

kill it and run launch line

kind depot
#

i see quit stop exit

#

Server appears to be offline ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

This is frustrating

slim spoke
#

wiki has thing for the windows firewall

#

did u use it

kind depot
#

windows firewall is disabled. I have one i bought and I added a rule and it's active

slim spoke
#

then defender go into the inclusions list or whatever its called and allow all the satisfactory things

kind depot
#

oh i thought i sent the first one separate

slim spoke
#

check eset

kind depot
#

The top image is the clip from eset

slim spoke
#

tell it the server is golden

#

windows defender has a mind of its own so check

#

then it should be routers port forwarding

#

or your ports are in use already

#

and ur local so u dont see it

kind depot
#

Am I screwing myself by running it on the pc i'm gaming from?

slim spoke
#

dm me the ip and ill put in mine so i can tell if it shows up

#

i know my side works right for sure

kind depot
#

That's scary

slim spoke
#

ur friends might not ?

kind depot
#

he's streaming

#

I would totally do it though

slim spoke
#

no when u setup the server u set admin pass and can put pass for players

kind depot
#

Yeah but isn't there things smart people can do if they know your ip ๐Ÿ˜‰

slim spoke
#

plus i help alot here and i do this alot .. i dont play mp though

kind depot
#

I trust people though so i would if we need to

#

But i watched him type it in

slim spoke
#

so like i wont even bug ya to play

kind depot
#

From defender

#

When I selected the server file

slim spoke
#

what about server

#

its diff exe

kind depot
#

Yeah that's directly to the server exe

slim spoke
#

i know its dumb but windows .com

#

lol

devout thistle
#

what happens when you uninstall the dedicated server from the steam tools list?

slim spoke
#

it removes from ur computer

devout thistle
#

just normal shit, it's gone, nothing too weird?

slim spoke
#

it uninstalls

devout thistle
#

aight thx

slim spoke
#

yw

devout thistle
#

was worried if I need to do sth else or sth

slim spoke
#

so blackhearted

#

it seems router then

#

unless im missing something dumb on windows server

#

there is that chance lol

#

anyways port forwarding on router

#

can u show me pic of that

kind depot
#

I sent them

#

I'll send again, one moment

slim spoke
#

i guess ur ports arent good

#

i have no idea about that port forwading page

#

usually u tell it ip and ports and type

#

but not 3 ports in 1

kind depot
#

I watched a video before I came to this discord and this is how he did it. Same router same interface

slim spoke
#

go back and double check it all

kind depot
#

I could split them up I guess

slim spoke
#

might be just a typo

vocal jungle
#

dont think thats the right place

slim spoke
#

ive never seen a routers port forwarding page when u assign it that way

#

that looks like a firewall

vocal jungle
#

since there is nothing on that ss that says what ip your sending it to

slim spoke
#

router shouldnt care what program

kind depot
#

okay

vocal jungle
#

what router is it ?

kind depot
#

I just added individual rules on eset just in case

slim spoke
#

can u show me a full pic in dm or something

#

so can see what ur seeing

kind depot
#

RT AX86U

vocal jungle
#

should be done on this screen

#

not in the gameboost profile like your doing that is a completly diffrent functiojn

kind depot
#

OOOkey

vocal jungle
#

i have the ax-11000 but its the same web gui i will take a ss what it looks like on my end

slim spoke
#

ya i was just about to dm the user manual link to him

#

hahah

kind depot
#

I just watched a video and thats what was shown

#

Not getting into that page at all

slim spoke
#

i know i forget things but didnt i say router port forwarding

kind depot
#

RIPIRINO

#

I mean I thought that's what the page i was on was doing

vocal jungle
#

its a slight newer interface but the data us there

kind depot
#

I added the rule but it didn't give any indication that it was sent to the router

#

Does it take effect immediately?

vocal jungle
kind depot
#

As long as its on the list

#

Ooo i want that interface

vocal jungle
#

it should but sometime you need to toggle enable port forwarding on and off

slim spoke
#

thats teh router

kind depot
#

Okay

#

I have to restart server for it to check again?

vocal jungle
#

i did both udp and tcp but you dont need to

slim spoke
#

yes cause u ahve to fix ports on router

#

dont use both/tcp

vocal jungle
#

shoulnt have to restart server

slim spoke
#

cuase it allows things to take the port on tcp without u knowing

kind depot
#

My server is offline now

#

And i launched it again and it wont show up

slim spoke
#

where doesnt it show up

vocal jungle
kind depot
#

In satisfactory game menu

slim spoke
#

just saying thats why u set udp

kind depot
#

I'm just deleting old information adding a new one

slim spoke
#

people have come here cause stuff has grabbed the tcp

#

hehe

vocal jungle
#

indeed but i am lazy and didnt make the time to change the dropdown box lol

kind depot
#

does my friend need to open ports at all?

vocal jungle
#

no

kind depot
#

Do I have to type "satisfactory" verbatim for it to work

#

I just put FactoryServer because that's what the exe says

vocal jungle
#

could call it lefthandedmonkeypile

kind depot
#

that's what i figured

vocal jungle
#

its a friendly name for your sanity

kind depot
#

getting htere

vocal jungle
#

like i have no idea what xx,sds and ra where for lol

#

click on it

#

and do the setup

kind depot
#

That's my friends pc

slim spoke
#

u want to join first so dont let ur friends lol so u get to set the passes

kind depot
#

Not mine

#

I'm on mine right now

slim spoke
#

well that says 2 things

vocal jungle
#

once its setup on your end it should change on his

slim spoke
#

first its offline so ports not right and server still isnt named which u do when u first connect to it

kind depot
#

I did name it

#

that's his screen shot not mine

slim spoke
#

well u need to understand that pic

#

u see im not making it up lol

kind depot
#

Should I change my pc's static IP?

slim spoke
#

then u have to fix forwarding for the ip

kind depot
#

yeah not a problem

slim spoke
#

and anything else

vocal jungle
#

sounds like your running this on the same machine your playing on

kind depot
#

yes

slim spoke
#

btw remember i dont do that game thing u showed before so if u got that stuff wrong .. hope tmo knows lol

vocal jungle
#

what game stuff ?

slim spoke
#

that black pic

vocal jungle
#

yes thats just gameboost it really doesnt do anything its a asus "feature"

slim spoke
#

yup ok hence my point

vocal jungle
#

Game Boost activates gaming mode using adaptive QoS. All gaming traffic passing through ROG routers can be prioritized to ensure ultimate gaming performance.

kind depot
#

i blocked it out on purpose

vocal jungle
#

fance way of saying games get priority

kind depot
#

cause i'm ignorant

slim spoke
#

should walk thru it with him cause thats where we went for port forwarding on router .. so maybe something else was confused

kind depot
#

and i'm scared of what i should send cause i dont know anything

slim spoke
#

ill be shhh so i dont confuse myself

#

your lan ip is fine

vocal jungle
#

the real question is do you need a dedicated server

slim spoke
#

all thats internal info thats meaningless

vocal jungle
#

if yes do you have the hardware to run one

kind depot
#

that was the game thing before. I clicked on open NAT and did the "port forwarding" through there. So it should be the same as going through the WAN settings

vocal jungle
#

you dont need that

slim spoke
#

no wonder

kind depot
#

I would like a dedicated server

vocal jungle
#

and no its not the the same thing

kind depot
#

As soon as my friend joins i go down to 40fps

slim spoke
#

ok let him help ya

vocal jungle
#

i would like a BMW doesnt mean i need one ๐Ÿ™‚

kind depot
#

If i'm going to play this game with my friend I need a dedicated server

vocal jungle
#

no you could just do session share

kind depot
#

But then again i'm spending $100 worth of time when i can just but the game again and run it on my laptop on lowest settings

#

Idk what that means

vocal jungle
#

the non dedicated multiplayer that in the game via joining o a friends session id

#

less overhead and doesnt need to run 24/7

#

but if you want a dedicated thats fine too

kind depot
#

Yeah I think that's the right route

vocal jungle
#

its always fun to learn new stuff

kind depot
#

Also that. I'm enjoying this

#

Even though I feel like I've followed the instructions

#

Oh wait

#

so i was going ot ask a dumb question then got distracted

#

this is almost certainly going to be it

#

and I can't wait for the reaction

#

Let me find the words

vocal jungle
#

feel free to ask a dumb question- i will just laugh on the inside

zenith nimbus
#

Anyone know if Fics*mas is automatically enabled on dedicated servers or whether we need to change a config to activate it? If so, what would we add?

vocal jungle
#

its active by defauilt i beleive

kind depot
#

Whatever space engineers did with their dedicated servers was beautiful

slim spoke
#

update and restart the server and at 1st it should start

kind depot
#

seamless integration

vocal jungle
#

ok so we know where we stand i have a few questions

#

i am going to assume windows, and you installed via steamcmd is that correct

kind depot
#

I was looking for the screenshot someone else posted

#

They had almsot identical IP address

opal vapor
#

any setting to increase the server network quality?

kind depot
#

my friend needs to use a different number

#

how do i see that other number

#

i just figured it out that that's how the pc talks to the router

vocal jungle
kind depot
#

cause they use similar numbers

#

I did the network quality

#

I don't have stamcmd

marsh jasper
# opal vapor any setting to increase the server network quality?

"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. "

kind depot
#

steam

vocal jungle
kind depot
#

yeah

#

so like

#

when you posted your screenshot

#

it kind of clicked

vocal jungle
#

it should give you your external ip

kind depot
#

but that was like 20 minutes ago and i didn't say anything

vocal jungle
#

that is the ip your friend will use

kind depot
#

yeah

#

so still same issue

vocal jungle
#

you will use the ip of the machine you are on

kind depot
#

Yeah i get it now

#

#learning

vocal jungle
#

that is also the ip you forward in the router

kind depot
#

What is steamcmd

#

I just used regular steam to install dedicated server tool

vocal jungle
#

steamcmd is a command line tool for installing servers

opal vapor
#

I see the train is lagging forward and backward, or the container struck with the front cabin. is this network quality problem?

vocal jungle
#

its the same thinkg

#

just one is manual

opal vapor
#

also after I set the network quality do I need to restart the server

vocal jungle
#

no

kind depot
#

okay, I was able to install the dedicated server and connect to it on my machine

vocal jungle
#

give your friend the external ip so he can try and connect

kind depot
#

yes

#

i did it on stream and saw he typed it correctly

#

same issue

vocal jungle
#

early access

kind depot
#

yes, I've never done experimental

#

neither does he

slim spoke
#

blackhearted in your launch line did u use -multihome?

opal vapor
#

any chance to change the tickrate?

#

mine only has 11

slim spoke
#

pinned msgs

opal vapor
#

found it

#

FG.NetworkQuality <number from 0 to 3>
0 is the worth or the best

rocky pumice
#

testing out dedi servers on a friends server. Anyone else have objects disappear but their collision still exists? but also stuff shows up if I stand in a specific spot

#

for instance (can I post pictures here?) Standing here I see the first image, but walking forward slightly and things disappear as you see in the 2nd image. (dunno if this is just a game bug or a dedi server bug)

opal vapor
#

umm, i set the tickrate to 60, after one of my friend joined the game it dropped to 18

#

anyway to increase it?

#

any ways to improve it

alpine dawn
#

What is your processor load like?

opal vapor
#

90

alpine dawn
#

Pretty sure you need a faster processor if you want a higher tick rate

#

That looks pretty maxed out

opal vapor
#

i see

alpine dawn
#

Pretty sure 3 is best

opal vapor
#

thx

So I just went to go update server; and I'm still getting a version mismatch.

Where am I going wrong with this:
steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\satisfactoryserver +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit

I'm not on beta on steam or anything, just the standard release branch

alpine dawn
#

so your client is EA and you are expecting the server to be EA as well by the looks of it

#

what are the version numbers

median path
alpine dawn
#

anything in that log file?

#

d:\steamcmd\logs\stderr.txt

median path
#

empty

alpine dawn
#

-beta public should work...just a note I did -beta default

#

maybe try that

#

I think they are the same

#

but worth a shot

median path
#

will give that a shot, thanks greg

alpine dawn
#

I downgraded my server from experimental to early access using -beta default

median path
#

yeah I've never used experimental, have had no need (sadly even vulkan runs poorly for me which is a shame),

#

ah well....

#

"already up to date"

alpine dawn
median path
#

k trying that; it is downloading

alpine dawn
#

I mean obviously I am on linux and you are on windows but you can see how my steamcmd is laid out

median path
#

yeah yeah

#

still giving me the exact same server mismatch...

alpine dawn
#

I just updated my server I should see if my client works

median path
#

I'm new to all of this, just got it up and running like two days ago; so mildly annoying to deal with an update already and the branch system being.... well being what it is

alpine dawn
#

hmm yeah I am not sure why yours is refusing to update I am on 174506 and the server just updated like 10 min ago

#

seems fine

median path
#

going to try downloading beta experimental and seeing what happens...

#

actually I don't think it's downloading anything; I think it's just verifying.

#

it downloaded something originally... with -beta public
the first time around, that was a download. everything since has just been validation.

alpine dawn
#

try adding the +login anonymous

#

I dont think you have that

median path
#

yeah it's in there

alpine dawn
#

oh ok

median path
#

steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\satisfactoryserver +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit

#

other than the location it's just a grab from the wiki

#

although

#

none of those files in that location got updated.... so where on earth did it download this update.

violet cedar
#

try adding quotes?

median path
violet cedar
#

steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\satisfactoryserver" +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit

median path
#

yeah trying that now, still going to the wrong place, that's weird.

#

oh wait no it's downloading now, I think that might have been it

alpine dawn
#

haha

median path
#

๐Ÿ˜„

violet cedar
#

gotta be careful of delimiters when using cmd line tools ๐Ÿ™‚

alpine dawn
#

spaces will getcha

median path
#

absolutely!

Been a long day ๐Ÿ˜…

#

brain is on its last few steps here tonight lol

alpine dawn
#

/home/steam/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer Just get rid of spaces...thats my solution

#

lol

median path
#

yeah I will probably move it at some point, like I said this was definitely a rushed situation since the start.

Files seem to be moving and updating though so we SHOULD be good
That completely explains why an update showed no change in version number, should be able to give it a shot here in a minute.

Thanks for the help Greg, and thanks for the picky eyes LilDionysus ๐Ÿ˜‰

violet cedar
#

no problem, hope it all goes smoothly for you from here!

alpine dawn
#

@violet cedar seems sus to me

alpine relic
#

it seems that the new EA patch did not fix the 'silent crash' issue of dedicated server?

median path
#

and we're in! Huzzah!!
Thanks again guys, huge help!

alpine dawn
#

nice

vocal jungle
#

@slim spoke got them fixed

celest parrot
#

I need some help, or rather, i have found a pressing issue

vocal jungle
#

pressing for who

celest parrot
#

i cant kill anything

vocal jungle
#

killing is bad

celest parrot
#

and my doggos are moonwalking

vocal jungle
#

desync

celest parrot
#

aswell as their headbands are off

vocal jungle
#

this on a dedicated server ?

celest parrot
#

yup

vocal jungle
#

save

#

and reboot

celest parrot
#

just updated it and there is a few issues

vocal jungle
#

what timezone you in

celest parrot
#

MST

#

same as the server

vocal jungle
#

could be an issue with ficmas

#

try turning off the seasonal events via the pinned message

celest parrot
#

is it possible to reenable the ficsmas event after dissabling?

alpine dawn
#

FG.DisableSeasonalEvents 0

#

restart server

#

1 disables 0 should re-enable

ripe flax
#

is there any way u can use a bit of creative mode or anything on the server

alpine dawn
#

no mod support yet

ripe flax
#

not mods but any commands or anythin?

alpine dawn
#

not that I know of

ripe flax
#

ahh ohkay

celest parrot
#

and there also goes a question i had

alpine dawn
#

its really quite stripped down

#

but I am still happy to have it

the starting grind is just a bit slow with biomass so yeaup

alpine dawn

yeah it goes a lot faster with 2+ people

celest parrot
#

well, in less than 4 days my and my friend have gotten to working on bauxite

violet cedar
#

great opportunity to teach someone new the basics though

celest parrot
#

and that was taking it a bit slow

ripe flax
violet cedar
#

which, hopefully you can do with it being a dedicated server and all ๐Ÿ™‚

#

got two friends to buy and learn with the servers, so I consider it a big win so far

celest parrot
#

i will say that it is nice to finally put my server to work agian

#

with update 5 bringing server support

ripe flax
#

yeah atm working with 4 and it is faster true dat

alpine dawn
#

way better than the listen server

celest parrot
#

oh

#

anyone know what a server wants more?

#

ram or cpu?

#

cus ive been wondering about it and what i would have to upgrade if i wanted to make it run better

alpine dawn
#

is both an option?

#

as the factory gets bigger it will need more and more ram

#

but if your processor is too slow it wont handle life

celest parrot
#

well, my current system for the server is dual intel xeon x5687 quad core CPUs @ 3.6Ghz and 92GB of ram

undone sky
kindred violet
#

only 92 gigs of ram pfft

celest parrot
#

i only had 4gb sticks ok

I need a better server

how do you reset a dedicated server?

worn spoke
#

what do you mean by reset?

sacred walrus
#

i forgot my server password and i want to start a new one

edgy crag
#

Updated my server, but dont seem to be getting any of the holiday update stuff. Is it automatically started? Or do i need to trigger it somehow?

alpine dawn
#

pretty sure its supposed to autostart on the 1st

edgy crag
#

Oh, so its not actually started then

#

My bad

#

The update confused me

alpine dawn
#

at midnight it should come on I think

abstract pendant
#

Hello, no event this morning but I had it yesterday before the patch? Any news about that ?

#

Mine didn't trigger till I rebooted the server.

Hi,
I am trying to setup a stable server for a few days now, but i cant get it to work.

  • I can connect to the server. And i can play it for a few minutes
  • After i joined with my Epic account, i join with my Steam game

After a minute or so, both the players get kicked with an timeout message.

After the kick, none of the players can reconnect. Handshake keeps appearing in the serveroutput

  • I have a server installed on ubuntu 20.03. X64 with multiverse packages
  • UFW ports are forwarded. I am testing on a LAN setup. So no port forwarding is involved (yet)
tisfactory]
title=Satisfactory
description=An extremely satisfying experience
ports=15777/udp|15000/udp|7777/udp
  • I chose to link steam with epic when i first started the steam game
  • I Start the server like: ./FactoryServer.sh -log -multihome=0.0.0.0
#

Errors i see on boot:

Does someone have a clue how to fix this? Or is Ubuntu not suitable? I do not want to make a bug report, because i think its a user error ๐Ÿ™‚

ln -s ~/.steam/steamcmd/linux64/steamclient.so /home/my_user/.steam/sdk64/ changed the warning to

So I'm pretty sure I found out what was happening. I'm not sure how, apparently the server admin had managed to install Satisfactory in two different locations. One was the one being updated by the provided update script, and the other was in the Steam install directory. The admin was launching the Steam directory one and so it was out of date. I have no idea how it has been functioning until now but I think it should be working properly now since the script locations have been updated to actually point at the right place.

Is there a server command to check what version of the game the server is running?
I have a hosted dedicated server but have no control over updates. Wondering what's happening with today's patch

Hello, somebody know, how i can activate seasdonal events on the dedicated server? i use the branch experimental branch Local Build number: 7803590

Looking for some help with a large dedicated server idea.

DM me with the position you would like to apply for. Builders must show a portfolio or some examples of their work.

Recruiting the following:
x4 Moderators
x2 Admins
x20 Aesthetic builders
x2 Production Managers

More details will be discussed later. Hoping to start development early this weekend.

I have problems. I just updated the game, validated it, it's on the public branch, and as i tried to start the server, something broke

#

it's spamming that message in the console

#

Attempted restart, does not work

warped oriole
# clear frigate

it's not a problem afaik. It stops printing it when someone is online

clear frigate
#

But the thing is, i cannot connect, the client window doesn't even update that the server is running (it was before i updated it though)

steady flax
#

Are there any problems from yesterdays update? Iยดm loosing the connection to the dedicated hosted server after a few seconds. Tried at least 5 times now.

patent stump
#

The command:

.\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta public validate +quit

from the wiki is not working while running steamcmd

#

Am I doing something wrong?

#

Although... i'm half tempted to just buy the game on steam

#

to support CS

clear frigate
stuck drum
#

i checked the pinned messages, couldn't find a path to force an update on the server end

#

where's the best place to find that?

magic root
#

Hey guys, what you need to do to turn on the FICS*MAS on the dedicated server?

clear frigate
#

The option is to disable them if unwanted

#

I managed to connect to my server and i can assure you they are active already unless manually disabled through a server command

magic root
#

Hmm, problably I have to restart the server because the event is still not triggered

#

Yup, restarting the server fixed the issue. ๐Ÿ˜…

patent stump
#

Can i host a server on my computer and play on that server?

feral dawn
#

Yes

#

Just follow the wiki's instructions, and connect to 127.0.0.1

slim spoke
#

@mossy wolf no idea why u pinged me that pile of words

mossy wolf
#

You were helping me try and poke at why the server was acting strange.

#

Turns out there's some illogical sanity to why it was going sideways.

steady flax
slim spoke
#

@vocal jungle ok dont need to ping me i dont care

cold ibex
#

anyone know how to fix this?

slim spoke
#

its just a warning and u dont show shit

cold ibex
#

yeah when this warning got spam for like 20second

#

the server crashed

slim spoke
#

ok warning means nothing though .. errors break things

feral dawn
#

u can also get them when the server saves, but that is always - so i would go with low tick

lime elm
#

where for be engine.ini? I cant find it anywhere on the server>>]

feral dawn
#

ini files are not generated until the server is gracefully shutdown, first go to the server manager -> click server -> console -> type quit

#

then the files will be in FactoryGame/Saved/Config

lime elm
#

okies,

#

thanks

cold ibex
#

is that okay?

slim spoke
#

yes

#

thats the default

wanton hull
#

after update I loose connection to dedicated servers immediately after joining

#

thats cuz server not updated yet?

slim spoke
#

maybe .. information helps though

wanton hull
#

will wait til host comes online then

#

hahahahahahahahahahha good luck

#

how can we increase the tick rate?

feral dawn
#

check pins

frosty gale
#

were building a huge base.. like huge... anyone else having issues before its even close to being done with the dedicated client?

icy field
#

What is the normal tick rate?

feral dawn
#

30

frosty gale
#

can you update the tick rate?

slim spoke
#

pinned messages

feral dawn
#

yes, check the pins.

#

if you're already running under 30 tick, upping it will however do nothing

slim spoke
#

use the cmd then use exit in console to write out the change to file

bleak barn
#

are mods supported on dedicated servers?

feral dawn
#

no, but these questions should be asked in the modding discord.

bleak barn
#

sorry

feral dawn
#

it's all good, some people dont know there is one ๐Ÿ™‚

still dove
#

can multiplayer saves be opened in single player?

slim spoke
#

yes

still dove
#

oh good

#

seems my dedicated server group is starting to lose interest so might need to power it down

#

and I'd rather just keep going

#

then start over considering majority of the main factory work is mine anyway

cold ibex
#

my tick rate currently is around 10-25, what can i do to maintain it at 30 or evenhigher. I know it can set for max tick rate.

slim spoke
#

get a better computer

feral dawn
#

your options are limited...

  1. Buy a better CPU that is better at single-thread performance
  2. Optimise your factory, by using Power Shards to lower the amount of machines running
  3. Hope that CSS makes improvements to the tickrate over time.
slim spoke
#

fix ports like beacon that keeps u on longer then that

Any way to deal with ghost rocks on dedicated? I destroyed a rock covering a caterium deposit, restarted the server, then the rock was back and you can now phase through it with some minor residual collison, but can't place miners.

well that's lovely. Server kicked me out, because it lost connection, as per usual lately, but this time it spawned me in a different body !

so i killed old me and picked my stuff up again

I can only blame those connection disruptions though

It used to be all fine until few updates ago

Hm. I have a problem with my Train - it is stuck in "Docking" in one Train Station and won't get unloaded. I cant do anything with the Station (no "press E top config") and I cant disasseble the Train nor the Station. Cancel Docking doesnt work in the Train Menu and also on or off automated driving doesnt do anything.

#

Any Ideas how I can get the Train away ?
