Should i ignore this error?

I think not. That issue gave me (probably) timeout/kick problems. After solving that, i had no issues joining and playing on my server
No way i can tell that was correlated. But i fixed it and i could play so i think it did.
Manuals said this was the way to fix it:
ln -s steamcmd/linux64/steamclient.so ~/.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so
But for me on ubuntu it was:
ln -s ~/.steam/steamcmd/linux64/steamclient.so /home/my_user/.steam/sdk64/

It should be by default

Yes it should. But only if the server is down, updated and restarted

yes

I dont think it can update itself when its on.
I update the server by re-executing the install command.

yeah that's how ur supposed to do it

i did :)

Thanks, I will try.

is the seasonal events doesnt work on experimental branch on dedicated servers?
granite basalt
To turn it on using a command would I use ''FG.DisableSeasonalEvents 0'' since ''1'' deactivate it?
Ight thx
This made so that joining the server crashes the game for some reason...
FG.DisableSeasonalEvents 0
This is the command I inputed in the console in-game. Now the server boot but crashes my game when I log in
I am validating files RN
Allright, some files failed to validate for the game. This has fixed the crash and gift are falling down proper. The power poles are not decorated though...

Just a quick question if you don't mind. Would it be simple to switch from the steam DS to steamCMD? Can I point it to the current install path and be done with it?

hi all, I've been running into the following issue: My multiplayer server is running, and talking, but for some reason the game keeps reverting back to the "pricate" state, instead of the "frineds_only" state. I've applied the workaround described here: https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Multiplayer#Session_privacy but after the server autosaves, it reverts back to "private". Is there any sensible explanation and/or solution for this? Thanks in advance 😄

elder silo
thats not a thing for dedicated servers
the game does let me manage session and select session type. what else could there be wrong that renders other player to join my game then?
alpine dawn
what is the issue you are having specifically?
you want to keep people out of your server?
set a password on it
elder silo
no, people can find my server, but it keeps showing offline
alpine dawn
oh I see
elder silo
though i myself, on the same network, am able to find, authorize and join perfectly
alpine dawn
what is the network setup like for the server?
oh I see
you need to properly setup port forwarding for all 3 UDP ports
elder silo
i did
languid quail
if its showing offline then people aren't really finding the server
alpine dawn
is there a software firewall on the server?
elder silo
if its showing offline then people aren't really finding the server
if there's no server instance known, they won't be able to add it

is there a software firewall on the server?
yeah, windows firewall, but i've added the exemtions in there too

yes you can, you can literally type ip address 123.123.123.123 and it'll appear as offline

if that's the case, i think there must've been something hiccuping in my client, because when my server wasn't broadcasting, i found nothing 😄
alpine dawn
yeah thats not how these work
elder silo
yeah thats not how these work
but how DO they work then? 😛
alpine dawn
you add the IP address and it shows up in the list
if it shows up as offline you have a firewall problem
elder silo
damn firewalls always... i'll go and check everything again 😂
alpine dawn
there is a powershell command on the wiki
it will open the default ports
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound ports" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 15000,15777,7777
run that in an admin powershell window
elder silo
i hate it when other people are able to hand me solutions like this
i've litterally not set the external ports 😂
elder silo
so yeah, thanks for reassuring it HAS to do something with the firewall 😄
alpine dawn
bet it works after doing that
elder silo
i'm a little hesitant with betting after today, but i to like to believe you
alpine dawn
haha
just make sure the router has its ports forwarded and make sure the server has the firewall setup correctly
another thing to be careful with is other game servers running on the same ports but you wouldnt be able to connect locally if that was the case
elder silo
i've checked for overlaps and accuracy in the modem i think 5 times today
2 different modems, because 1 was faulty according to the ISP
alpine dawn
if your friends are trying to connect again make sure and have them close the game and reopen it as there is a bug in the client that will show the servers offline if you let it sit on the server list screen

hi guys, is there any help how to deal with the server update? i have wrong version since three days saying the server is still 174.005 or something and the client got two newer aupdates already. Cant connect at all 😦
i did several times - you mean the steam update right? i also put the "validate" in but it doesnt update... i used this command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamcmd.exe" +force_install_dir "C:\GameServers\SatisfactoryServer" +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental validate +quit
whats ea client?
oh i was told i have to use experimental for both
and the steamfolder should be rights - its not the typical steam thing like on a client. i have a windows server running and put it into that directory so that should be fine
ah great ill try that - thanks man! 🙂
alpine dawn
i've ordered a client restart, results will follow soon (i hope). do you happen ...
Its in the wiki
elder silo
Its in the wiki
Those are the ports for the FactoryGame.exe, right?
alpine dawn
those are the server ports
all 3 of them need to be accessible for the server to work
elder silo
i've added these 3 exemptions in the firewall... i might just give it a try to make it 3 individual entries though
alpine dawn
biggest thing is when you do the port forwarding in your router you cannot redirect these ports to something else
they have to be 1 to 1 mapping
elder silo
i've removed all other port mapping just to be sure nothing's interfering
alpine dawn
so your external ip address should have 15777 15000 and 7777 UDP open and forwarding to the same ports on your server pc in your lan
elder silo
yes, the routing is towards the local IP of my physical server
alpine dawn
if all that is done then it should be working
especially if you can connect to it in the lan
elder silo
let me see if i can get my minion to verify again 😂
as soon as my buddy searches for my server, it shows up offline in my server manager
it shows up offline in my server manager
it does show online when i restart my client again, possibly a timeout?
alpine dawn
it does show online when i restart my client again, possibly a timeout?
thats a bug in the client
if you stay on the server list the servers will show offline
only way to refresh the list is to fire up a single player game and back out
or restart the game

okay, so it's just coincidence it happened when he tried to connect

I utilize Docker Network to indirectly remap these ports so I can keep the forward on one line.
until the server get updated to allow one port only needed to forward for now.
elder silo
Yeah, @sour yoke, you're doing a better job at confusing me than @slim spoke did 😂 i have absolutely no idea what the Docker Network is/does
sour yoke
Docker is just containers
quick mist
in short, it makes hosting a game server a lot more complex than it needs to be, and gets in the way of troubleshooting.
sour yoke
if you ever used Virtual Machines, Dockre has it's own virtual network as well
quick mist
but it sure is convenient
sour yoke
I don't recomend most use it for this purpose I am msotly doing it to learn something and to play around with it.
elder silo
short story though: Install through SteamCMD, forwarded ports, broke modem/router, ISP came and installed a new one, forwarded ports again, opened firewall for said ports and in the end i can join on LAN, friends remotely can't. (edit: i run the server off a windows machine )
ornate osprey
if you ever used Virtual Machines, Dockre has it's own virtual network as well
The irony, I run individual virtual servers for each dedicated server I run (two) and other things that could be accomplished with docker because I like what I know lol
quick mist
I use screen rather than tmux for the same reason (:
sour yoke
There are negative with doing everything with contiers big one is that containers run as root which is a big no no. You can get around this but the docker image needs to be made to accept user and group ids passed through it.
sour yoke
Also resource reservation doesn't work as well as a traditional VM there are a lot of things that make more sense as a VM.

multihome is a Unreal feature, basically allowing you to specify binding to a specific address rather than letting it discover and choose addresses to bind to automatically

vapid hazel
similar issues wit @keen jackal but i have the public server
merry bolt
Make sure your force_install_dir path is a full path not a relative path, else it will actually put a separate copy inside your steamcmd directory somewhere
vapid hazel
@merry bolt what do you mean?

i mean a full path that starts with a / and specifies the path all the way to the specific directory rather than a path intended to be a nearby directory

My server is on 174799 as is my client
What steamcmd do you use to update your server?
vapid hazel
do you have to update steamCMD?
merry bolt
What steamcmd do you use to update your server?
the same as the others posted here
steamcmd updates itself whenever you run it
alpine dawn
this setup has worked flawlessly for me

dude these daily updates are going to kill me

still not working

i rebooted
someone suggested that
someone can confirm they are running steamCMD with this afternoons update

one sec...lemme fire up steam remote play and see if I can start my game at home to check if everything is cool

I have
the server wasnt even on
guess I'll try again tomorrow
did force reinstall twice, didnt work ^.^ still outta date versions
dunno, maybe its a steam issue idk

mine works fine

i am on Windows and having no issues

I'm getting the same.. even after force reinstall twice, like just now.
alpine dawn
maybe give it some time, might be possible the steam CDN hasnt updated all nodes yet
so depending on what server you pull from you may or may not get the latest version
merry bolt
For people having issues, try running steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "your path here" +login anonymous +app_status 1690800 +quit and see if the info it prints gives any clues
hollow cedar
I'll try again tomorrow. dont think it'll make much difference... probably steam issue

I have -just- run steamcmd and updated dedicated server files without an issue (So I wouldnt think steam is having issues right now)

worked fine

If a player ain't on a dedicated server, is it paused?
sullen monolith

merry bolt
If a player ain't on a dedicated server, is it paused?
Depends on server setting. By default, it will pause when no one is connected
alpine tree
My server is not pausing when nobody is online, not even experiencing lags after a 24 hour runtime, pretty dank.
alpine tree
For a player with kids and job, its pretty nice to have factories run even when not online..
-- I also reboot mine roughly every 24th hour, just to be safe 🙂
But, I'm not experiencing any extended ram usages over periods of time, or lags, which kind of amazes me lol
haughty zodiac
thanks!
sullen monolith
I think the server code forces a reboot
alpine tree
Not mine?
I've had mine running for 36 hours no reboot
sullen monolith
hmm... maybe a setting in the dedicated server container
rose valley
It's not a server reboot. It's only a session reload.
crimson flicker
Anyone have any experience renting servers, is it allowed to talk about?
alpine tree
Ah, if that happens while I'm offline I wouldn't notice it; I can simply see in logs that it does not restart
sullen monolith
no it's a server restart. happened prior to update5 GA
You get notified that a server restart is in 30 mins, with repeated warnings as time counts down
rose valley
That is what I'm talking about. It's only a session reload. Process is not restarted.
sullen monolith
It happens on mine if I'm playing at the 24 hr uptime mark
rose valley
A process can't even restart itself easily.
sullen monolith
it's not a session reload as the container.. reboots
rose valley
Don't catch the question.
spiral root
No a process can only stop itself so unless it's a service or you have a monitoring script it won't autorestart.
rose valley
it's not a session reload as the container.. reboots
Then you must have set it up to do so yourself.
spiral root

Personally I would prefer if it exited the process to get a clean restart since i setup my server process to auto-restart when it exits

@merry bolt you could just do that with Cron
rose valley
Not everyone has their server setup to autorestart. So we'd be fucking over those who don't. But I imagine it could be up to configuration.

A shot in the fog; Anyone who have had success with mods on dedicated servers?

I'm throwing up a dedicated server and am curious what the recommended allocation of RAM is for a headless linux install.
Nvm, doocumentation has it listed
warped oriole
Umm why does the server just stop because it failed to initialize steam?
No it's not.
The server doesn't continue past this
I have used the same command as I used earlier when it worked just fine
Pretty much the one on the wiki page
Anyways this is what steamcmd gives me
Also why does it require a steam api?
So the appid in the logs is the one for the game itself
indigo bone
so is anyone else not able to run a dedicated server for the new patch on experimental
warped oriole
Well actually seems like it's not even trying to bind to the ports
indigo bone
like the version matches early access but steam cmd says that the server is up to date
even though experimental is ahead
quick mist
It has new networking code to test, which is rather the point

Hey y'all, I was curious if anyone else has had an issue with Invalid Authentication Token
This issue seems to be preventing me from connecting, and I've tried a few diagnostics steps to understand the issue
So far I've tried:
-Verifying client and server files, neither had any difference
-Reloading client, same Invalid Authentication Token issue
-Removing and adding back the server to the server manager, same Invalid Authentication Token issue
-Having friends connect from outside my home network, they were able to join just fine with no issues
-Having someone on the same home network join the server on their own computer and steam account, they got the same Invalid Authentication Token error
-I tried joining with a vpn, which had success, although with very high ping because it's not the greatest vpn
-Uninstalling and reinstalling the server, same Invalid Authentication Token issue
-Deleting and reuploading save files, same Invalid Authentication Token issue
-Starting a new save, same Invalid Authentication Token issue
-I tried joining with both the public and local ip when on the home network, same Invalid Authentication Token issue
-I tried switching the query and game ports around, same Invalid Authentication Token issue
-Double checked to make sure the necessary ports are being port forwarded correctly and they are
Overall it seems like if I or anyone else tries to connect while on the home network, the server gives an invalid authentication token error, regardless of which computer or steam account attempts to join. However, joining from outside the home network has success with no issues at all
does this ring a bell for anyone?

So I was just fiddeling around making discord bot to get live updates by parsing logs of DS and it got me thinking.
Would it be interesting for the community if I built a kubernetes operator around SF DS ?
I was thinking as a V1 :
- CR = SatisfactoryServer = StatefulSet of 1 Pod
- Pod = ( SF DS + my discord bot)
On top of that, you could add Prometheus operator (& setup things to scrape metrics from the server)
This could evolve into "on-demand" server allocation (upload your safefile, a version & get a DS running in a matter of seconds on the cloud) ?
The only thing is that I believe it's very CPU + RAM consuming and I'm scared of the cost of a single SF DS running in aws eks

I've tried both, neither seems to have any success sadly

you tried it without providing any port?
lunar mural
I've played around with the ports, I don't have access to the default ports so I'm using different ones (except for the beacon port 15000, that one is a-ok)
oh wait, I thought you meant providing no port client side, so like adding a new server to the server manager but without providing a port
was a bit confused there 😅
alpine dawn
So whatever you put your query port to is what you use in the client
If you didn't fuck with ports you only need to give the client an ip
Yep adding a server to the manager

Im on EA but I have noticed something odd. I just set up another server (Im using Cubecoders, AMP) to play on an old save of mine at 206Hours.. I noticed that the CPU usage on the server was no where near what it is on my current save thats at 270 hours. My current save has 1 core at 90 to 100% usage almost all the time were as my older save the CPU usage is much lower, around 50-60% most of the time and the load also seems more spread out among the cores....
So, I loaded up in experimental dedicated server and I am getting the same behaviour. Could there be "something" on my current save thats causing high CPU usage? If so, What could it be?
IIt's rather annoying cus I upgraded from a VPS to a dedicated server at twice the cost due to the CPU usage.. I thought it was normal.. Maybe its not :\

How different are they progress-wise? The more factory you have, the more CPU power is needed.

Updated to latest EXP version about 2 hours. No immediate issues, but there has been a notable increase in the problems I normally encountered before the update.
Some of the usual problems:
-
Trying to build something and nothing happens, requiring the same task to be repeated before it actually happens (not during autosave).
-
When joining the server for the first time after restarting it, my character is usually frozen in place and requires a reconnection to the server to fix. This only really happened when joining, but after the new update it has happened a few times while exploring and fighting mobs the last 2 hours.
Attached screenshot shows server log when a freeze happens.
jovial remnant
best to play on EA server tbh
rose valley
Ideally, at least a few people would try out the experimental changes too, since that's why we're pushing them. But if you're not interested in testing technical stuff or prefer a stable experience, then for sure EA is the right choice.
merry bolt
Some people have to play on exp in order to report issues so that the people on ea dont get the same issues later
jovial remnant
my bad didnt realise it was in response to a question on how the exp is going
merry bolt
i have been having a lot of issues with belts and lifts not properly connecting (previously on exp and now on ea). They will visually look correct and i hear the confirmation sound before placing them, but then when i try to run items through the system, random belts and lifts just wont take the items. i have to dismantle and rebuild them when it happens. it is happening quite frequently.
Less frequently, a section of belt will even build backwards
After building a factory, i have to go through and check every single connection to find the broken spots and rebuild them. Never had this issue before update 5 (which of course was before dedicated servers)
jovial remnant
ive had the backwards belt happen to me a few times too on EA, seems to happen if you build belt quickly after building machine
merry bolt
The case of connecting a lift directly between a machine input and a splitter output will not function more than 50% of the time and has to keep being rebuilt until it works..
it seems somehow like doing things very slowly causes less of these errors, but that is an annoying way to play.

The case of connecting a lift directly between a machine input and a splitter ou...
I've learned to: first build the lift, then build the splitter and machine, then add a small piece of belt to both ends of lift to connect it (even if it visually looks like it's in the connector of the splitter / machine, it shows the hologram for a belt, and clicking twice connects it), and then it just seems to work.
It's a hassle.
But also allows for tighter builds, because you can get the machine closer to the lift.
Like so
merry bolt
i usually built the lift to see where things need to go, then build the end points, then rebuild the lift to make it actually connect. This only works around half of the time though.
frosty gale
Yeah, but you can't build as tight that way, because the lfit connects one snap point further away from the machine.
merry bolt
i hate to have little belt pieces in there because i might change my mind about the lift later (like wanting to upgrade it) and the belt pieces would end up being the wrong tier
maiden girder
you mean no need belt when so close?
frosty gale
Nah, actually it's the less tight connection that doesn't need the belt piece.
merry bolt
i dont care about trying to clip the lift into things. i am not that space constrained
frosty gale
Because the lift automatically connects then.
maiden girder
looks wired but work
merry bolt
Because the lift automatically connects then.
it seems like it does, but randomly decides whether to actually work or not
maiden girder
so It would be a disaster when your base becomes extremely complicated
frosty gale
Debug rounds are relatively fast after you've built the main buildings.
south bane
is the server paused when no one is online?
south bane
Nice ! thx
elder silo
anyone familiar with the size of this thing? 😄
maiden girder
hahah

Those are fun. I had a giant nobelisk and a giant bacon agaric spawn in the sky at the same point, which made it look like the nobelisk was wearing a weird skirt.
Also noticed they're the hand models. So what is shown on screen when you have the item in your hand. Meaning: bacon agaric did not have it's normal stem that it has in the model you see in the wild.
elder silo
lol, i wonder what else is waiting for me to run into 😄
maiden girder
maybe an alien sneaked into your server and done this😆
elder silo
that's on me for not harvesting when they "tell" me to

This message popped up when i was on my server what is it?
maiden girder
seems like It's clients issue,not servers

Hey does anyone know how to see like a running console for a linux server that is being ran as a service? im having trouble figuring it out
how so? i have set it up like it says on the wiki to run it as a service without using a third party application and havent got them saved to disk
they are accessible via the journal, im just not sure how to view them that way
nevermind figured it out, all g
i just needed to use the journalctl command plus the name of the service to view the logs
merry bolt
i know in Windows it is especially difficult to get any sort of live feed from services because they all run in some headless environment. all you can really do is monitor the log file output.
merry bolt
Debug rounds are relatively fast after you've built the main buildings.
since i run most conveyors under the floor up near a lower ceiling it is actually hard to debug what isnt working. i generally have to inspect every machine one by one to see what it is doing, or wait a long time and come back later to see if any of the machine lights are yellow.

Is there a way to inject Chatmessages trough the Server-backend on Linux - so that I can post Notifications to the Players just before it starts scheduled shutdown ?
or should I open a QA-posting on that ?!
Uhm - I don't want to integrate Discord on the Dedicated server, I just want to spawn a Chat-Message on the inGame-Chat via a Server-Side Script (Cronjob) like "Server is shuting down in 10 Minutes"
UH.. there's already a QA - great : https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/6182a1eb831c85205235983f
UH.. Ok.. now I got it - I should ask at the modding discord - I thought you suggested I should Mod discord into the Dedicated Server XD - Sorry and thanks for the hint ^^
full vector
sooner or later discord integration shows up for most dedicated servers with modding capability though 😛

anyone knows how to get rid of the "LogNetPlayerMovement: Warning: ServerMove: TimeStamp expired" messages ? After login to the server i sometimes can´t move for 10s up to 5 minutes
Server is running on local LAN, no Firewall, ping ~ 1ms
rose valley
Sounds like you might be playing on experimental?
barren venture
cpu looks fine, ram is more then enough (slower dd3 on the server side). Timedrift between server and client is arround 1-2s (updated every 5 mins using de.ntp.org)
i have no idea. cpu is overall arround 20%, so no big issue
actually on EA branch, but there it is even more worse
i am using the defaults. need to check if they match, so far i am playing alone on the server, no other clients.
about one a week, the satisfactory server once a night to scan for updates
Maybe powermanagement does cause the error.
mild belfry
question: Is the dedicated server still require players to have the experimental version of satisfactory to be able to join the server?
Ah nice and is it possible to run mods well with the dedi?

i have been having a lot of issues with belts and lifts not properly connecting ...
I found the issue to be that you can only place one lift at a time for build mode. So place a lift, close build mode, open again for a new lift…total pain. Better with hotkeys, but a very frustrating bug for a core functionality of a factory building game.
nimble ibex
We have problems placing belts during saves. We have found that any belt built during a save will be bugged and will need to be replaced
quick mist
Won't help if the saved game (which is not part of the server install and is not verifiable) is in a state of "well half of this conveyor is built"

Just upgraded from early release to experimental version of the dedicated server -- now I'm getting an error about unable to load PythonScriptPluginPreload. I can paste the specific error if required. Any ideas?
It was working before the upgrade.
stock -- no mods
pseudo yew
probably his server wrapper?
wintry flax

New installation does the same.
Not helpful
quick mist
let me see if I have that in my logs on Exp
just to check what build are you on? This is me:
wintry flax
Is that a library coming with the server or does it refernce a python installation on the server already?
quick mist
it should be part of the server. Whle I do have Python installed, it's not needed for the server to run (I have installed a test server on another machine which does not have Python and it works fine)
wintry flax
For poops and laughter I'm doing system wide upgrades.
quick mist
hopefully can't hurt (:
wintry flax
I'll report back shortly.
quick mist
we'll be around (:
wintry flax
No joy on updates.
quick mist
What is your current server build?
wintry flax
Revalidating a fourth time on server files.. tandby for build number
Validating worked a fourth time. SteamCMD must've smoked itself dumb.
quick mist
the problem with Steam is that it's mostly full of hot air (:
wintry flax
I did see python3 upgrades when I did apt update and upgrade -- i wonder if the server references local python install for some reason
quick mist
I don't think so but there might have been some hooks left in Experimental
hollow cedar
version mismatch still going on, anyone found a fix for it yet?
quick mist
I know the EA server runs happily along on a server on which I do not have Python installed at all
quick mist
version mismatch still going on, anyone found a fix for it yet?
what are the mismatched versions you are seeing?
wintry flax
version mismatch still going on, anyone found a fix for it yet?
They did a version split -- Experimental and EarlyAccess.
hollow cedar
wintry flax
yep.. you need to migrate your server to the experimental version -- OR move to EarlyAccess on the game.
hollow cedar
:s
quick mist
You can only connect from EA clients to EA servers; and from Exp clients to Exp servers. That's the mismatch you're seeing.
quick mist
we try (:
cloud beacon
my server is lagging super hard I'm talking rubberbanding conveyers only putting 1 item in a storage every couple of seconds just pretty much unplayable I play with 2 other players and we don't have an insane base or anything
hollow cedar
amg >.> we need anti-prezzie turrets
cloud beacon
did nothing
wintry flax
are you hosting the server? or paying someone to host it
cloud beacon
paying somebody
wintry flax
any idea what specs?
cloud beacon
any idea what specs?
doesn't say the only thing I can see is that it has 5gb ram
yes but they are taking ages to respond
wintry flax
I think CS recommends 8gigs for a server
check the dedicated wiki for further info on recommended specs for server
cloud beacon
I think CS recommends 8gigs for a server
would explaine why some things stopt working we are using 116% ram
wintry flax
For what its worth.. mine is using 4.27 gigs with a single player on it
cloud beacon
yes it says 8gb recomended for 4 players
I have a little secondary pc could I host my own server from it?
wintry flax
I have a virtualmachine running mine. .6 CPUs and 24 gigs of ram, i was anticipating a few more players than I get
depending on the specs of the secondary PC you certainly could run a server on it
you would need to do some router configuration though to push it 'outside'
cloud beacon
ryzen 7 2700x gtx 1060 6gb (don't think this matters) and either 12gb or 16gb ram and a ssd
cloud beacon
you would need to do some router configuration though to push it 'outside'
port forwarding you mean?
cloud beacon
I have no idea how that works couldn't figure it out back in the day for minecraft
alpine dawn
same
cloud beacon
alright is there like a setup guide for it?
merry bolt
I found the issue to be that you can only place one lift at a time for build mod...
Thanks for that tip. My experience matches that pattern, but I never actually noticed the pattern.

potent shell
lol, I got mine running in K8s
wintry flax
You need steamCMD
alpine dawn
do I need steam?
it makes no difference
potent shell
I'm actually impressed by how efficient the dedicated server is. Mine's using next to no resources
wintry flax
and it is crossplay between epic and steam
Yeah... it's good on CPU usage.. ram is a bit heavy.. but it's UE so no surprise there
potent shell
Yeah... it's good on CPU usage.. ram is a bit heavy.. but it's UE so no surprise...
I also host Rust servers, those things are heavy on everything
wintry flax
Rust made my stuff cry
but i was also using ESXi -- I recently migrated to ProxMox and found additional performance
potent shell
Rust is cruel, through and through
wintry flax
You running it naked greg? Or do you use a wrapper like linuxgsm?
alpine dawn
naked
cloud beacon
would I want to run my server on like a virtualmachine or?
wintry flax
either or.. i run my on a VM and it seems to handle it well
cloud beacon
I mean I won't use the pc only for the server
wintry flax
if you're familiar with VM hostring you can go that way
or just run it baremetal... your choice
it works well in either case
cloud beacon
I have never hosted a server...
potent shell
you could also run it in Docker
alpine dawn
You running it naked greg? Or do you use a wrapper like linuxgsm?
its just a Debian server running OpenMediaVault
wintry flax
oh yah should run fine alongside OMV as long as it doesn't suck every bit of CPU down for transcoding.
potent shell
I created a helm chart that uses this image: https://github.com/wolveix/satisfactory-server. It works well enough...
alpine dawn
oh yah should run fine alongside OMV as long as it doesn't suck every bit of CP...
tbh I dont really use transcoding on it
wintry flax
i dont do much with my plex server either.. just play the media as is
alpine dawn
just use it as a fileserver mostly...plex is on there but we rarely use it anymore
wintry flax
I'm a bit of a hardware monkey.. so I've got a few machines floating around here doing random crap with them. threw satisfactory on my DL 380 G6 VM host.
wintry flax
im in process of building a dedicaetd NAS machine right now using Chenbro NR12000 1u -- gonna cram it full of 4TB and TrueNAS with 10 gig nic and iSCSI all my VM storage.
alpine dawn
good plan
I would love to upgrade this array to larger drives
but its a massive task
might be cramming a 10gig nic in it at least
upgrading my network to multigig 🥳
wintry flax
10gig switches are expensive still
alpine dawn
the one I am getting has 4 10gig ports I think
wintry flax
Im just going to direct attach and a separate subnet between 2 VM compute nodes and 1 storage node
alpine dawn
sorry no its got 4 x 1G, 2 x 1G/2.5G, 2 x 1G/2.5G/5G, and 1 x 10G Ethernet ports
2.5gig switches are hard to find
wintry flax
rj45 i assume?
wintry flax
go to #off-topic-tech so we don't clog dedicated servers up with this

What is the "Average Tick Rate"?
wintry flax
How fast the server is running.
quick mist
more specifically it is the number of times per second that the state of the world is updated on the server and sent out to clients.
30 is the default cap
alpine dawn
higher the tick rate the more load on the server in general
cloud beacon
So I switch parents every weeks is it possible to control my server if I would host it myself from another pc that's not on the same network?
alpine dawn
with some advanced computer knowledge yes
alpine dawn
I dont know what your server setup looks like but assuming that its windows that could possibly be a solution
cloud beacon
I don’t have one yet i use a server host but it’s ass so i want to try and host my own on my secondary pc
cloud beacon
All i can do is try then
clever quarry
Our server is running at a "Average Tick Rate" of 8 when we have 4x players on it, and goes to 14 when a single player is on.

sounds like your server is too slow to run with 4 players
clever quarry
its a 96 core server, guess there are many other docker images on it
since its a shared service
going to try and setup a dedicate server on my PC
alpine dawn
core count has not a whole lot to do with anything if the cores are low speed
single threaded performance is more important
clever quarry
Bit like Factorio in that reguard then, also memory latency comes into the picture too
alpine dawn
need something with good single thread performance and likely 16+ gigs of ram for 4 players on an end game build
16 might be a bit more than needed but you will likely want it
clever quarry
thanks I have 64g ram, 7820X cpu might be a little old, but it was good for single core work
cloud beacon
what do I have to add where?
alpine dawn
local ip is going to be the internal ip address of your server
or 10.0
whatever it is
cloud beacon
aah oke I didn't know rather save then sorry
so local ip is the same as it shows above?
can I show end port?
is local ip then my ipv4 adress?
is there like a video I can watch? I have never done anything like this so I'm kind of confused

Anyone here running a server on nitrado? having some trouble geting mine set up... It seems to be offline and now is showing " server name pending"
cloud beacon
yes got that
is that the server lan ip?
yes and does it need to be active or inactive?
wooden escarp
does anyone know how to fix this? i´m using amp from cubecoders. server and game are up to date. 😅
cloud beacon
yes ofcourse
quick mist
Experimental clients cannot connect to EA servers nor vice versa
hollow sable
speaking of that message, does anyone know how to force the server to autosave before shutting down, I need to update but I can't create a save when my client is updated
cloud beacon
so that's all or do I need to do other stuff before my friends can join?
hollow sable
Or does it auto save when it gracefully shutsdown?
quick mist
speaking of that message, does anyone know how to force the server to autosave b...
By default, the server autosaves every 5 minutes as well as anytime a player disconnects.
so you should be good to go at any time
cloud beacon
so I need my ipv4 adress and the port should be the one that auto fills in?
leaden sinew
If you wanna host a server on DO/Linode/equivalent, do you need to go to the 8GB RAM versions? Or will a 4GB RAM version do in a pinch?
hollow sable
so you should be good to go at any time
Thank you so much!
