#

yes but could I change the version to the experimental?

#

aah alright

#

let me disable experimental first then

#

nope couldn't mismatched version

#

but the server popped up atleast

#

my server host was on experimental will this break my file?

#

that's the only reason I would want to use that

#

alright sounds good

#

steamcmd

#

he just said app_update 1690800

robust frost
#

I have mismatch Client and Server (Server is lowest).

Using this .bat for updating server.

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir "D:\Epic Games\SatisfactoryExperimental\Satisfactory Server" +app_update 1690800 +quit

What am I missing in these parameters to get matching versions ?

#

Using experimental*

quick mist
#

your server is not getting the Experimental build

#

see the Wiki for direcitons to switch to that version if you wish to

robust frost
#

Thought so. I'll try look again thank you.

quick mist
#

certainly

robust frost
#

" -beta experimental" ? I guess.

#

xD

#

Next question:

Any trick to open EPIC game AFTER server is running?
Epic cannot launch game > Says "already running"

#

Been bugging me for many weeks now.
Thought I'd ask now.

quick mist
#

I have never had that happen.. best guess would be to check the Task Mangler to see if there's still a Satisfactory client open, and if so, kill it. Next would be restart the Epic launcher. After that would be restarting the computer

robust frost
#

Sorry forgot to clarify - Server is running on same PC.

#

If that changes ur answer.

quick mist
#

nope, no change. Epic client should be able to run even if the server is already running on the same PC

stray bone
#

And what is the benefit of increasing this? Is there any point of doing it?

quick mist
#

some people like to see higher numbers. But there's no real point to forcing it to go higher as more than 30 updates per second of world state is beyond human perception, and just makes the server work harder to no real gain

sour yoke
#

For a game like SF, it matters little it can make people be "closer" to the servers say so, but you are not twitchy 180 headshot-ing people in SF.

#

Also increases network usage which maybe important to consider depending on the connection.

cloud beacon
#

So i can join my server but my friends can't

#

this is what my port forwarding is so did I miss anything?

quick mist
#

yep, those port forward settings are totally out of whack

#

I would delete that rule

#

add one rule for each of the three UDP ports: 7777, 15000, 15777

#

use the same start/end port for each of the three rules

#

use the same port number for Internal port on each rule

weak coral
#

hey all, hopefully quick question, I am rolling a server on my home network, I have it running it seems just fine, but when I connect from my windows computer I get "invalid authentication token"

any ideas?

cloud beacon
#

and do those ports need to be a certain number or can I put them as what I want?

quick mist
weak coral
#

yeah, it isnt prompting me for a password... I set one up when I did the server config and launched it, but it doesnt ask for it when I connect

#

Ill remove and re-add

#

oh got it, I had to disconnect as admin and reconnect as client, thanks

alpine dawn
cloud beacon
#

this is what I have atm

quick mist
cloud beacon
#

so I just want to put like 5500 in all of those?

quick mist
#

no

#

use 7777 in all three for the first rule

#

use 15000 for all three in the second rule

#

use 15777 for all three in the third rule

cloud beacon
quick mist
#

am I speaking Swahili?

sour yoke
#

you want to input it per row not per column

alpine dawn
cloud beacon
cloud beacon
sour yoke
#

nah just a misunderstanding of the UI

alpine dawn
#

do the same thing for 15000

#

and also for 15777

cloud beacon
#

oke done that

sour yoke
#

should enable external clients to access it now through your public IP

alpine dawn
#

should have 3 entries in the router now

lilac juniper
#

I have one router and 2 PC's hosting servers. How can I setup the router for both PC's?

cloud beacon
#

do I need to restart my server?

quick mist
#

should not be necessary

lilac juniper
#

Correct

sour yoke
#

afaik the server automatically picks an open port above the defaults if they are already taken.

cloud beacon
#

friend says server is still offline for him

alpine dawn
#

not if they are on different machines @sour yoke

alpine dawn
sour yoke
#

ahh fair enough then you will need to specify separate ports 7777 15777 15000 is the default

cloud beacon
sour yoke
#

and in your router, you will need to specify seprate forward entries for each PC

alpine dawn
#

you need to have him connect to your public facing IP

#

google "what is my ip"

cloud beacon
#

how do I find that?

#

aah oke

lilac juniper
#

Will this work?

#

Router - 15000/7777/15777 -> PC1
Router - 15001/8888/15888 -> PC2

alpine dawn
#

and actually you only need 1 port on EXP

sour yoke
#

forgot the beacon can't be changed

lilac juniper
#

Yeah, that's where the problem comes in.

alpine dawn
#

hmm actually I read that wrong

#

you can change the beacon you cant redirect it

sour yoke
#

I thought it was change?

#

I must have mis read it as well

quick mist
#

which is to say you can't read port n on the router and pass it to port m on the host

cloud beacon
#

thank you so much for all the help @alpine dawn @quick mist

quick mist
#

so long as the port number doesn't change you're golden

#

you're very welcome @cloud beacon !

alpine dawn
wintry flax
#

i think we need a mod or someone to pin the EA/Experimental Dedicaetd server change.

#

I say mod because I assume it's locked down.

quick mist
#

@alpine dawn I will reword those when I have a minute (:

vocal jungle
#

/ME

quick mist
#

..?

sour yoke
vocal jungle
#

@vocal jungle gives @quick mist a hug i need that comment thank you

lilac juniper
#

I'll give it a try then. Thanks even if it doesn't work but I'll let you know.

alpine dawn
cloud beacon
#

yes

sour yoke
#

sick

#

isn't networking fun?

cloud beacon
#

now I only have to find a way to upload my world and then I'm golden

cloud beacon
alpine dawn
cloud beacon
#

alright thank you

sour yoke
#

May your slugs be shiny and your power plentiful.

cloud beacon
#

quick question how often do they save?

lilac juniper
#

OK, elementary question. Where to I put the ports that will change which ports the game is using. I have firewall and router ports completed. Remember, this on a Linux system.

#

The game is running as a service.

wintry flax
#

command line for the server

#

see command line options

#

should be in your satisfactory.service file as part of its command line

lilac juniper
#

Ah, yes. I should know that. 😭

bronze dome
#

Some 1 have the same problem that the server dont update?

#

or do i miss something?

full vector
#

sounds like your server is on EA, and you are on EX

#

either switch the server, or start the EA version

bronze dome
#

intresting... didnt change that but good point will check this...(😵‍💫 totaly forgot about that...)

sour yoke
lilac juniper
#

/SatisfactoryServer/FactoryServer.sh -ServerQueryPort=15888 -BeaconPort=15001 -Port=8888

bronze dome
cloud beacon
#

when I slide and jump my screen will shake left to right a bit? it's only one the server

cloud beacon
#

weird it was last time but no

mighty storm
#

just a shot in the dark here lol i've never seen that but i've had windows jiggling and bouncing when i'm screen sharing and something is oddly maximised / not true fullscreen

#

is your Field of View anything other than default?

cloud beacon
#

nope but looks like fullscreen fixed it

#

so thanks

mighty storm
#

that old chestnut... wonder what caused it

#

like something changes the window width slightly

#

Windows 10? 11?

deep forge
quick mist
#

see the wiki for directions to do that very thing

potent shell
#

Does anyone know of a way to run the Real Arachnophobia Mode mod on a dedicated server?

#

😟

nova cliff
#

Theres no way to run mods on a dedicated server as of now

#

They're working on it - but no eta as to when that'll happen

potent shell
#

ok

lilac juniper
#

Is this the right place to add the port numbers in the Linux service?
/SatisfactoryServer/FactoryServer.sh -ServerQueryPort=15888 -BeaconPort=15001 -Port=8888

bronze dome
lilac juniper
#

Yeah, that's what I thought but I seem to be missing it.

sturdy bough
#

noob question, Can the dedicated server handle 2 sessions running at once?

quick mist
#

one instance of the server can handle one session running at any instant, but it can have save files for sessions limited only by disk space to switch between

heady notch
#

my server has a another time as my client ... can play, but its 1 hour behind the server ...
How i can fix that?

quick mist
#

the time on the server is managed by the operating system of the host on which it is running

#

(I wasn't aware that the server actually tracked anything in real time, come to think of it)

heady notch
#

but that is correct 0:06 on windows and server say 23:06

quick mist
#

where specifically are you seeing that?

#

the logfiles?

heady notch
#

on the log what runs

quick mist
#

Yes, that is based on the system clock. Most system clocks are set to UTC, where it is currently 2315 2021-12-03

heady notch
#

ah ... i am on gmt +1 ... make sense ... thx

quick mist
#

you bet!

vale shell
#

anyone else not able to install the add on?

#

keep getting this

vocal jungle
#

addon ?

vale shell
#

yea like just installing it

vocal jungle
#

i dont play the pronoun game

vale shell
rigid sun
#

Hey me and a friend built a tractor and when the server restarted it teleported under the map. Is there any way to delete it or get it back? Please ping if you reply.

vale shell
#

its a separate thing you gotta install but errors every time

vocal jungle
#

that on epic

vale shell
#

yea epic doo doo but game was on there first so

vocal jungle
#

I didnt see that i my epic launcher you might be seeing something that not suppused to be there

vale shell
#

its on the store page for early access branch if u scroll down a bit

vocal jungle
#

one sec

#

looks like there per loading the option but have not added the manifest files yet

vale shell
#

weird since people are using them

vocal jungle
#

who is using them

vale shell
#

in this channel if u scroll up

vocal jungle
#

there useing the steamcmd/steam version of the dedicated server

#

there has been no patch notes saying epic verison of dedicated is out

vale shell
#

thats what im realizing ig they are just behind on epic then damn

vocal jungle
#

but the steamcmd version is free aswell and it doesnt mater if the client is steam or epic

#

so you can still host one if you want just follow the wiki and enjoy

vale shell
#

i see thanks

crimson ember
#

have you guys experienced logging into a dedicated server and not being able to move?

vocal jungle
#

yes

alpine tree
supple summit
#

is there an equivalent of "verify game files" for dedicated server?
ours always hangs exactly after loading Cave_X1_Y2_WesternDune_12_01

alpine dawn
#

yeah thats what the validate command at the end of steamcmd does

#

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

#

the validate at the end is supposed to verify the hashes of all the files

stuck drum
#

gah these constant daily client updates are killing me with the server/client version mismatch

quick mist
#

if you want less frequent updates, stay on Early Access, but for my part I'm pretty happy that they address "gamebreakers" with alacrity

stuck drum
#

i am on early access, ea5 is the standard early access now

#

the client keeps updating, but the server does not auto update

quick mist
#

the servers update when the administrators of the servers care to update them

stuck drum
#

yeah it's been a while tbh that i've done beta testing like this

quick mist
#

if you're the one running the server, it's pretty easy to schedule automatic updates and restarts

stuck drum
#

my mate is, and atm he's away at a bbq, unfortunately i can't access it

#

but we decided the other night that we'll schedule auto update checks

supple summit
#

yeah, I hope that later you can atleast access the terminal of a mismatched server...

alpine dawn
#

being able to just issue a shutdown from the term would be helpful

supple summit
#

luckily I have SSH access... but it's still not giving me any luck - it literally always crashes on the EXACT same character 😢

supple summit
#

always until this latest update yesterday

alpine dawn
#

hmm

#

whats disk IO look like after it stalls out?

#

is the process trying to access files still or is it just dead

supple summit
#

disk io and network io stop dead in their tracks

#

cpu use stays constant

quick mist
#

what do you see in /proc/<pid>/fd for the server process?

supple summit
#

looks like wolfrix doesnt use -validate 😢

#

ill try and enter the docker container and run that command manually

alpine dawn
#

yup

#

just run it manually and it should revalidate the files

#

make sure to run it as the correct user

#

dont want to overwrite the files as root or some shit

supple summit
#

I think wolfrix said they set it to run as root rather than steam due to permissions issues anywayz 😉

supple summit
quick mist
#

you don't. once it's got its hooks in you, you're in forever

#

it's..

#

very satisfying

alpine dawn
#

one does not simply quit satisfactory

supple summit
#

haha

alpine dawn
#

I run it as a service so I just issue service satisfactory stop

supple summit
#

perfect thanks

quick mist
#

cheers

alpine dawn
#

its shockingly quiet in here

vocal jungle
#

there all watching LTT wan show

I never got into LTT

LTT?

Linus Tech Tips

quick mist
#

ah

warm path
#

Anyone else have automatic updates that continually fail on the first attempt?

quick mist
#

updates have been reliable for me

alpine dawn
#

seem to work for me every time as well

warm path
#

Hmm.. is there a specific time that updates typically roll out?

#

Every time I go to my server there's a game mismatch

alpine dawn
#

usually seem to roll out weekdays around noon PST

#

but I suspect that is a coincidence

#

lol

#

since the devs are in europe

versed merlin
supple summit
#

Okay, I have worked out how to get to the shell interactively in wolveix's docker
If im not running experimetal anymore, just beta... i just take out your -beta experimental tag, right?

#

/home/steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir /config/gamefiles +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

#

ah nvm -beta public should keep me on EA branch

#

here goes...

#

woo so far so good.
NFI how this is working while the crashed container is still running lol

lilac juniper
#

Router - 15000/7777/15777 -> PC1
Router - 15001/8888/15888 -> PC2
OK, so unfortunately this didn't work.
I set the router and opened the ports on the servers.
The game appears offline on the second PC externally but online internally.

vocal jungle
#

15000 Beacon Port This port cannot be redirected at the moment. It is automatically incremented if multiple instances of the server are launched and the default is in use already.

alpine dawn
#

its not redirectable but you can set it at run time

lilac juniper
#

Yep, unfortunately I can't have two ports using the same number on the router.

vocal jungle
#

since its 2 pc the the router on the second to external 15001 to 15000 internal

alpine dawn
#

no

#

thats redirecting

#

that wont work

#

the correct way to do this is set the runtime options to spool the server beacon port up on 15001

#

then port forward that on the router 1:1

#

so 15001 external maps to 15001 on the second server

supple summit
lilac juniper
#

Yeah, I think that's what I did but couldn't connect.

alpine dawn
#

show us the startup commands for both servers

supple summit
#

nah check the connect command next then

lilac juniper
#

Yeah, PC2 starts with 15001/8888/15888

supple summit
#

like 192.168.1.101:15001 or whatever

lilac juniper
#

I checked and see the ports open on the linux box.

alpine dawn
#

he said he can connect locally just not remotely

supple summit
#

oh right my bad

lilac juniper
#

Yeah, its not getting through the router for some reason.

alpine dawn
#

what router

#

can you post screenshots

#

of the admin interface for port forward

#

also tell us the internal IPs of both computers running the server

light shadow
#

dedicated server is running on one of those pcs? (PC1 or PC2)?

alpine dawn
#

both of them are running a dedi

light shadow
#

lol oh

lilac juniper
#

PC1=GameNuc / PC2=LinuxGamer

#

This is Google Wifi

alpine dawn
#

hmm

#

k

light shadow
#

can you show a netstat on both? showing the beacon port listening on both?

#

it says the beacon port cannot be overwritten

#

unless its in use

#

it shouldnt be in use tho right?

#

thats only if youre running multiple on the same host

alpine dawn
light shadow
#

the description of that is confusing

#

'cannot' be set freely

alpine dawn
#

read it again

#

thats not what it says

light shadow
#

if the port is in use

#

it will step up

#

the port should not be in use, on that host

#

its only running one instance

#

ya?

alpine dawn
#

This port cannot be redirected at the moment.

#

means you can not redirect it on the router

#

so you cant set port 12345 externally to redirect to 15000 internally

light shadow
vocal jungle
#

i thought it means you cant redirect it on the machine

alpine dawn
#

you can however set the startup parameter to change the port

light shadow
#

im reading it that you cant

#

a netstat should solve it

#

showing its listening on 15001

#

if that works

alpine dawn
#

-BeaconPort=<portnum>

#

so if he did that

#

it should be listening on 15001

light shadow
#

i think its for future implementation

lilac juniper
#

OK, so I got it finally. My setup if rather jacked so give me a sec to type it out.

alpine dawn
#

lol

#

just use the snipping tool

#

haha

light shadow
#

right lol

lilac juniper
#

I was forgetting something

alpine dawn
#

lol

lilac juniper
#

Router1 -> Router2 - 15000/7777/15777 -> PC1
Router1 -> Router2 - 15001/8888/15888 -> PC2

alpine dawn
#

wait...

#

router2?

light shadow
#

lmfao

alpine dawn
#

as in double nat?

light shadow
#

DOUBLT NAT

lilac juniper
#

Well, Router 1 is XFinity and 2 is Google Wifi

light shadow
#

modem -> router -> pc1/pc2

alpine dawn
#

oooooooof

vocal jungle
#

its always dbl nat lol

lilac juniper
#

I don't want to have to trust Xfinity

light shadow
#

lol

alpine dawn
#

bro...do yourself a favor and stick that comcast shit into bridge mode

light shadow
#

so is pc2 listening on 15001?

lilac juniper
#

So both set of ports on each router and then the PC starting with the correlating ports

#

Yes, 15001/8888/15888 -> PC2

alpine dawn
#

so first thing is first, double nat will keep being a massive pain in the ass. if you plan on running your own router which it looks like you are you should figure out how to put the comcast modem/router/wifi for anyone who wants it into bridging mode so you dont have double nat

#

that will massively simplify troubleshooting

lilac juniper
#

Agreed

light shadow
alpine dawn
#

and yeah you should also do netstat on both servers

light shadow
#

still curious

alpine dawn
#

to verify ports

light shadow
#

sample output

alpine dawn
#

thats only 2 ports

light shadow
#

LAN server

#

dont need the extra fun stuff

alpine dawn
light shadow
#

hmmm, i didnt touch any config

#

whats the filename where you tweak these?

lilac juniper
#

PC2/Linux

alpine dawn
#

yep seems right

lilac juniper
#

PC1 /Windows

alpine dawn
#

I assume 7777 is also open

lilac juniper
alpine dawn
#

sooooo

#

seems like we are on to debugging 2 firewall/routers

👀

echo belfry
#

Has the linux dedicated server not been updated to the newest version?

#

I just ran Steam CMD but it didn't find an update yet, there's a version mismatch

alpine dawn
#

are you running experimental client?

echo belfry
#

Yeah

alpine dawn
#

betcha your server is EA

echo belfry
#

Is there a different version of the dedicated server I have to use?

#

Mmm.

#

I set up the server when the dedicated servers were only on experimental so I didn't think there'd be an issue

alpine dawn
#

oh yep

#

its EA now

#

if you didnt explicitly tell it to be experimental

#

it went to EA

echo belfry
#

Oh gotcha - ok the app ID should be 1690802 for anyone else with this issue

#

Thank you for the help! I didn't realize that was the case

#

Hmm, well - that app ID is now saying invalid platform.

alpine dawn
#

what did you do?

echo belfry
#

I tried using the experimental branch of the dedicated server software

#

I got it from here:

#

I might've understood something wrong with how switching branches works

alpine dawn
#

yeah dont reference things that are not from the wiki

quick mist
#

the experimental branch uses the same app ID as the EA branch. see the directions in the Wiki

echo belfry
#

Oh I see - yeah, I'm not super used to this yet. Thank you - I found it

brisk cobalt
#

Anybody got a suggestion on a good host for Satisfactory? I don't wanna run it off my local machine unless I have to, but I don't wanna waste money on a server that lags or won't let me modify my save file.

alpine dawn
#

so get a normal vps

brisk cobalt
#

honestly, if I wanted to bother with setup like that, I'd run it on one of my spare machines at home.

#

if that's the best option I'd rather save my cash and do it myself.

alpine dawn
#

yeah I dont know many people here running it on game hosting services

#

most people have access to the raw os

maiden thistle
#

So my friend rented a server and is having a hell of a time getting it going, any tips or direction of inquiry i should follow?

alpine dawn
#

is it an actual server or a game host?

maiden thistle
#

im asking him

alpine dawn
#

it would honestly better to just have him come here

#

this will take a week of sundays debugging by proxy

maiden thistle
#

rented from gportie, and i agree but his discord isnt installed. If he continues to have issues ill urge him to join us. Anybasic tips?

#

lol

#

thank you for the reply

alpine dawn
#

sorry was taking care of real life

alpine dawn
maiden thistle
#

cool life trumps flashy lights and noises

#

im trying to fond out the specifics, can i tag you at a reasonable time when he gets back to me?

alpine dawn
#

sure, I should be here for a bit but if I dont respond there are usually other people that can help too

maiden thistle
#

awsome thanks

#

Hey, maybe somebody had the same situation. I want to host the server on my PC, but play on my laptop. However, if they're both on the same internet, I cannot find the server (I tried typing in both laptop's and pc's ipv4s). Any ideas what I could try?

hushed gateBOT
sturdy geyser
#

yeah ok ill look into it

alpine dawn
#

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow Satisfactory default inbound ports" -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Allow -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 15000,15777,7777

#

put that in an admin powershell window

#

should get you up and running locally

sturdy geyser
#

thanks

#

I used this as I was setting up the server

#

one thing I find odd

#

is that my laptop has a little different ipv4 than my pc

alpine dawn
#

how do you mean?

#

I suspect he has 2 networks

#

possibly double nat

#

which would explain why he cant connect

#

lol

#

yeah, well people do weird shit to their networks

alpine dawn
sturdy geyser
#

The last digits

alpine dawn
#

oh

#

thats normal

sturdy geyser
#

I thought so, wanted to make sure

alpine dawn
#

everything on the network needs a unique address or it wont work

sturdy geyser
#

Alright, thanks

alpine dawn
#

doing good

So there is a problem with belts and train tracks connecting, when you make a belt or a train track it has a gap at the join when you extend either of them, that then makes the product on belts and the train on tracks stop. products on belts stop and go again after a split second a train stops dead on the track and you have to re build that section but there is still a gap there. very annoying for belts as it messes with the speed of the belt and makes production struggle

This may have been asked a million times, but can CoffeeStain make the dedicated server APPID standalone tool in Steam rather than a daughter of the APPID for the game itself. I am unable to use the regular version of steam for the server (which would allow auto-updates) because I bought the game when it was only on Epic and the server only shows up in the list if you own the game. The update system for steamcmd is spotty at best for non-experimental games. so having to use "force-install" and reinstall over the top of the server for ever patch to make them work properly is very time consuming. With a full time job and Dad, time is limited.

full vector
#

you dont need to force install the game with steamcmd, it can just update it just like anything else

dense gate
#

90% of the time using the regular update command for steamcmd with verify option does not update the server properly. I either have to re-run the command 4-6 times, or run the original install command for it to force a deeper verification of the files to get a proper update.

running the install command twice will not actually re-install it

subtle niche
#

i have the same issue too

full vector
#

it just updates it

subtle niche
#

it never gets the update the first time

dense gate
#

but what the real question was, can we not just make the server a standalone appid rather than being locked under ownership of the original game in steam?

full vector
#

even if steamcmd needs an update, you dont need to restart it

#

just sounds like something wrong in the call to me

dense gate
#

@full vector rerunning the install in steamcmd runs the "force full verify" you can get from the options in the GUI version of steam

full vector
#

it only does that if there wasnt actually an update, and if you dont want that, just leave out the "validate" part of the command

#

most people not getting updates reliably are most of the time just forgetting to put the install dir into the command, or using a relative path without being in the right folder

dense gate
#

@full vector i see where that could be an issue, but i have been writing batch files since computers only had command line, and Microsoft was 5 guys in a hotel. lol. all my directory paths are absolute not relative and it shows the be update process, it just fails to be effective. So real questions every one seems to be ignoring, "can we not just make the server a standalone appid rather than being locked under ownership of the original game in steam?" this would solve ALL of these issues.

subtle niche
#

i rent my server from GTX gaming and when i click the update button it doesnt do it the first at least 5-6 times and thats set up fine

#

Host is fine

full vector
#

We cant influence what they do, we can only help you get steamcmd running. and I've been using steamcmd for a decade or longer to host servers with no such issues, so ymmv 🤷

dense gate
#

so were do i seend feed back that is actually read by CoffeeStain?

hushed gateBOT
dense gate
#

fair enough oh great an merciful bot

alpine dawn

dyno is the opposite of that and rules with an iron fist

dense gate
#

lol

dense gate
#

ok i put my card in the suggestion box, and we shall see.....we shall see. lol

dense gate
#

@vocal jungle So if you make the dedicated server a stand alone tool, rather than being listed under the game. then you could see the server in the "tools" section in steam even if you bought the game on epic. then no need to run it under steamCMD.

vocal jungle
#

hmmm

dense gate
#

this woudl allow the use of the better update system

vocal jungle
#

like there

dense gate
#

do you own the game on steam? or just Epic?

vocal jungle
#

epic

dense gate
#

cause it will not show up on mine, or about 5 of my friends, steam accounts.

#

MAYBE the issue is location locks

vocal jungle
#

thats a known bug

dense gate
#

i woudl rather use Steam, for the server

#

because all my other servers are in steam

vocal jungle
#

its on the epic launcher already, the mainifest is just borked for it

dense gate
#

@vocal jungle it must not be THAT well known of a bug, because i have been researching this for a week, and never once was it mentioned that the server not showing up in steam by itself was a "bug"

vocal jungle
#

its well known enough for me to know the issue

dense gate
#

well if yo look at the APPID itself, is specifically states that the server is a daughter of the game. not a stand alone tool

#

its how the server was registered with steam, by coffeestain

#

lol

#

ok i found where they noted the issue on twitter (which I don't use cause i am an old fart) so i will shut up and wait and see.

vocal jungle
#

cool find me a dedicted where the parent is not the game it belongs to i think it would be neet to see

dense gate
#

I just hate social media. cause I dont care what famous people had for lunch, or what footballer (US or the rest of the world) broke their leg. etc

vocal jungle
#

oh i found one

dense gate
#

and since the world runs off ad's i cant have my info without the trash

sturdy geyser
#

t's all good. Huge Thanks for providing help, I really didn't expect anyone to help this quick. Everything on mine works, this wasn't mandatory.

  1. I use steamcmd but can't type anything in the cmd so how do I stop the server?

Does anyone know how to upload the server save to the factory calculator website?

elder snow
#

Hello! Was wondering if anyone could help me set up a server? I just rented one for £11 a month and im trying to set it up

#

Website suggests I need to load up the experimental version of the game to set the server up?

#

Hmm, I'm using the epic launcher at the moment as I bought the game when it came out, Is this possible?

#

Okay, but I've bought the server rental from a third party site, so i need to boot up that on steam to set up the server before connecting to it on epic?

#

Forgive me for being a bit dumb here lol

#

Ok cheers

vocal jungle
#

That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad.

Where is the save files on my dedicated server located? Cant find em 😮

potent shell
#

You can upload a save via the Satisfactory dedicated server UI

cloud beacon
#

I can't find where I can set it so it auto restarts the server

#

oke and how do I do this automaticly on a certain time

echo wigeon
#

Anyone got a idea where the World Saves to? Trying to make a backup of it.

#

👍 I'll take a look in a few. Tha js

#

Its saying to go to

%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server, However I dont got any SaveGames file inside my Saved folder

blazing willow
#

hello#

#

i have a problem

#

when i would like to save the world on the Server it come this

#

i have put the world from ma old Server to a new Server

#

and then it come this

echo wigeon
#

Nvm.... Went to the wrong file

#

🧠

blazing willow
#

an then?

#

it is an error error

#

when i save the server

#

On the server, when I want to save, I get the message "No access to the data carrier"

cloud beacon
#

so I downloaded nssm and did the factoryserver install but can't find a explanation on how to make it so it automaticly restarts I'm a complete noob with these type of programs

do we have to be on experimental beta for the servers to work ?

Hello guys, i guess the epic online issue is affecting dedicated servers aswell

slender finch
#

Yes Epic Online Services (EOS) is down

fringe trout
#

i love that epic dies pretty much every fortnite event 😄

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

lilac juniper
#

We've had a couple of game crashes today. Using a Dedicated server on latest version. All new logins are now just number and have no supplies.

#

We are all using Experimental.

EOS service is down atm so accounts cant be retrieved. If you join a game atm you will spawn in as a new player.

Rip epic

#

even on a private dedicated server?

pure lynx
#

has no effect

shadow zephyr
carmine jay
#

Well that just sucks.

Not as much as building their own backend would.

does anybody know where to upload a save to using cubecoders amp? I can't find it

#

Q1: is the dedicated server pre-configured to restart its services every day at a fixed time?

#

Q2: How can i get a tractor and crate unstuck from an unreachable location? (as admin)

#

ok, so i export the savegame files from the server, edit them with this SCIM and then put it back on the server. right?

#

👍 gonna give that a try. thx!

rapid haven
#

Hello

#

someone can help me with setup dedicated server?

#

my friend can't join it

stuck drum
#

if there was a sudden crash of the server due to a power outage, is it normal for it to be pretty messed up upon restart?

#

like, many buildings not loading etc

alpine dawn
#

I assume you are able to join it fine inside your lan

rapid haven
#

its done . I had to UPLOAD a open to friend save game in private to that dedicated server from Gportal

frosty gale
#

has dedicated servers come to epic games yet?

maiden thistle
#

So this is a multi question, im sorry if itsd in the wrong spot. we tried renting a server and since we had connection issues we refunded it. so we try to just play multi and i cant join thier game, in the join screen nothing happens if i clik thier name, and session id number isnt working. am i doing something wrong?

#

i have it rhu steam

#

thank you for the tip

hardy agate
#

my server switched to 'paused when no-one online' without asking, havent seen anything about that in the recent patch notes

#

nah it was definitely making resources over the night before

bold atlas
#

I went ahead and coded up a restart-when-and-only-when-server-is-updated script. It should (should! I need to wait for an update, really) work as-is on nixos, but may be a useful guide to people on other OSs.

It's kinda large, so here:

#

If anyone finds this useful (or broken), feel free to ping me.

#

It's the config for my specific machine. So yeah, that would break horribly on a different one. (This has come up before. My network config is complex. I do need it.)

#

Oh?

#

Ahh. I'll try removing it.

#

Do you know any way to cleanly shutdown the server? systemctl restart doesn't let save, so it always reverts to the previous autosave.

#

(It sends SIGTERM. Systemd isn't at fault.)

#

This is literally the config file for my personal server. 😛

#

Use at your own risk. But it should work.

#

(With appropriate modifications... making sure pcregrep is installed isn't the hard bit here, though.)

#

I'm good at wild goose chases. I usually bag the goose.

#

Right now I just don't have any idea how to make it cleanly shutdown at all. The only way I know is to type exit into the server console on the client, and that's completely useless.

#

Through stdin? That's the one thing I think systemd can't do.

#

Hmm. Maybe.

#

Well... it shouldn't really need a mod. :X

real wing
#

just wondering still no modding support for deciated right?

bold atlas
#

(Fortunately 1.12 and above handle sigterm correctly.)

empty mountain
#

It worked! 🙂

solemn cedar
#

Fo some reason whem I launch the dedicated server on steam, the window pops up, does shows its lines of stuff, then closes out comepletely...is this normal?

alpine dawn
#

it should stay open

#

try manually running it from another console and see if you can see what the error is

solemn cedar
#

no, im i followed the link and ran it in CMD, window did the same thing. Opened, ran lines of information, shut down. Im uninstalling and reinstalling the server incase something got silly on me

alpine dawn
#

I stayed up for 24+ hours yesterday I am not feelin it today

#

haha

solemn cedar
#

I did install from Steam tools

wintry flax
#

check the log file -- look for errors.

solemn cedar
#

All good...appreciate the attempt.

solemn cedar
wintry flax
#

should be a FactoryGame.log file in the root of the satisfactory dedicated server

fringe lance
#

anyone know if there is a known issue for programable splitters not working right for EA on dedicated servers?

wintry flax
fringe lance
#

my programable splitters keep resetting them selfs

fringe lance
#

thanks

wintry flax
#

Appears to be a known issue?

solemn cedar
#

Ok, uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling fixed the log window from closing....but i think I may have gotten the wrong IP address put in when I created the server....maybe? LogNet: Error: IsClientMsgTypeValid FAILED (40): is the first error that pops up.

cold ibex
#

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

do we need to setup this every server rehost?

quick mist
#

no, when you set it using the Console command and the server is subsequently gracefully shut down, the setting is preserved.

wintry flax
solemn cedar
#

Where do I access the config files from? is that in the dir the server was installed in?

wintry flax
#

You mentioned yo umay have gotten the wrong IP address put in when you created the server.

solemn cedar
#

Well, I am guessing, I am not sure...i can see the server in my list. But I cannot connect to it. Not quite sure what i did wrong...

wintry flax
#

in the server list on the game? or in steam?

solemn cedar
#

in the server list in the game

wintry flax
#

Ah I see.. if you see it in the list it should work, you may need to go thru the new game procedure and log in as an 'administrator' to the server from the game side.

#

as i recall there are two passwords, the admin pass and then the player password.

solemn cedar
#

Ok, let me see. I have only been asked for one password, and thats the admin password

wintry flax
#

yah thye admin password will let you create a new save game

#

the player password (if set) only allows to CONNECT to an existing save game

solemn cedar
#

I put in admin password and selected the save i wanted from the list, i licked join game and it just says my connection to the host has been lost....

wintry flax
#

Did you forward all the necessary ports thru your firewall? 7777, 15000, 15777 all UDP

solemn cedar
#

I put them on as TDP/UDP as the wiki said that was fine, i did this in my router.

#

should i change to just UDP to see?

wintry flax
#

You're playing on a server you're hosting in your home?

solemn cedar
#

yes

#

attempting to

bold atlas
#

Only UDP is used. But forwarding TCP as well shouldn't matter.

wintry flax
#

OK -- try using hte local IP from in game

#

Just for poops nad laughter

bold atlas
#

They're just separate namespaces. TCP port 7777 and UDP port 7777 completely distinct things.

wintry flax
#

SOME ISPs do their routing really weird and you can't actually connect to your own external IP address from inside.

quick mist
#

that's not an ISP thing; that's a router thing

wintry flax
#

Can be both

solemn cedar
#

Ya, still a no go....has to be something in the router then

wintry flax
#

Most often its no hairpinning in the router.

wintry flax
quick mist
#

hairpinning is a nice visual metaphor for NAT Reflection (:

wintry flax
#

Can you pastebin the logs?

wintry flax
quick mist
#

There is a seven step troubleshooting guide on the Wiki that covers 90% of common issues

alpine dawn
#

bet

wintry flax
#

Assuming using WIndows

alpine dawn
#

its a good bet

wintry flax
#

i hate windows firewall.. makes me nerdrage

solemn cedar
#

I am using windows, but I went through the advanced settings and made sure the game and dedicated server had both public and private permissions turned on.

wintry flax
#

we can prolly help more if you pastebin'd your server log

solemn cedar
#

i have no clue how do that..lol...my knowledge is pretty limited

wintry flax
#

literally copy paste into pastebin.com -- hit create new paste and send us the link

solemn cedar
#

gotcha

#

you want the whole log file from the window that pops up when i fun the server? @wintry flax

alpine dawn
#

links dont work

#

so thats not going to work

wintry flax
#

wat

#

That doesn't work?

alpine dawn
#

oh that must be whitelisted

#

nvm carry on

wintry flax
#

LUL

alpine dawn
#

see

wintry flax
#

Ah

#

Well... I would hope pastebin would be whitelisted.

#

The whole log file plz Cris

#

Context is kindof important

#

I don't think? there's anything identifiable in it.. but give it a look see before you post it

#

got it.. standby.. reading

solemn cedar
#

thanks

wintry flax
#

I'm seeing a lot of errors I wouldn't expect to see.. verify your server game files.

solemn cedar
#

ok

wintry flax
#

Also. You have EA server installed -- are you playing with an EA game client? Not Experimental?

solemn cedar
#

ummmmmm

#

no?

wintry flax
#

OK.. just double checking 🙂

solemn cedar
#

lol ok

#

its all on steam

wintry flax
#

Doesn't matter -- you can get the experimental branch on both server and game from Steam. But it requires additional user input to get them.

solemn cedar
#

Ya, I know how to do that. But I don't think i was running experimental on either

#

file validation done

wintry flax
#

fire it up see what happens

solemn cedar
#

still nothing

#

le sigh

wintry flax
#

OK.. lets screenshot the error you get from the game

solemn cedar
#

its just a network error, Your connection to the host has been lost

wintry flax
#

hrmm... okay give me 2 seconds.. Need to go ack thru your log to amke sure i didnt miss somethjin

solemn cedar
#

no problem

#

I apprecaite your help in this BTW. Really taking more time than a random person should lol but I appreciate it

alpine dawn
#

This is literally 2 computers plugged into the same switch?

solemn cedar
#

no, its one computer.

#

Running server and game

alpine dawn
#

Oh

#

I haven't tried that yet

wintry flax
#

Cris -- are you trying to load an existing save game?

solemn cedar
#

Yes

#

Would that be the issue?

wintry flax
#

I'm wondering?

#

Because thats where most of the errors seem to be originating?

solemn cedar
#

Ok, let me try a fresh start

alpine dawn
#

Permissions on the save files might be messed up

languid quail
#

where is the autosave file located in linux?

wintry flax
#

~/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames

#

Corrected because I copied the wrong one

solemn cedar
#

Nerw game did not conect either

languid quail
#

I don't see a SaveGames directory

wintry flax
#

It should be whatever user is running the server

#

my user -- for example is 'sfserver` -- so the filesave path is /home/sfserver/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server

wintry flax
solemn cedar
#

Yes

wintry flax
#

You are forwarding the server out to the internet?

solemn cedar
#

i have the ports open

wintry flax
#

Ok.. give me a sec.. installing EA.

#

I can see if I can connect

#

DM me the connection info plz, Cris

languid quail
#

strange I should be in the right user

#

also I'm trying to create a static save in the manage saves tab but it keeps saying invalid filename

#

savefilename_savestate1

#

nvm I removed and re-added the game then it saved even though the prompt said error

solemn cedar
#

Why isnt the server download available on EPIC?

alpine dawn
#

they are still working on that

#

for now steamCMD is the best way to get the files

solemn cedar
#

ok

alpine dawn
#

when you were trying to connect to the server what ip address where you using?

solemn cedar
#

We did some testing and found out that it does work....but only from outside of the system you are on..apparently you cannot connec to a ser ver you running the same computer

alpine dawn
#

thus my question

#

what ip were you using to connect

wintry flax
#

I was able to connect to Cris' server from externally

#

We tested both internal and external IP addresses on Cris' PC

solemn cedar
#

I tried both my external and internal LAN IPs

alpine dawn
#

use 127.0.0.1

wintry flax
#

It would connect -- but the client would crash out

solemn cedar
#

ill try that

#

nope

alpine dawn
#

same problem?

solemn cedar
#

yes

wintry flax
#

I suspect there may be an issue running server/client on same machine.

alpine dawn
#

and you have verified your client game files?

solemn cedar
#

Through steam? yes

alpine dawn
#

through where you bought it with

solemn cedar
#

thats where I bought it

alpine dawn
#

if steam that or if epic that

#

makes me want to try it on the same machine...I know other people have done it and it worked

wintry flax
#

right greg?

#

screw it.. experiment time

solemn cedar
#

lol

#

I was going to try to run it on my laptop, but cannot get the rpic file...and cannot run steam on seperate machines

#

so....ill play the old way

wintry flax
#

do steamcmd

#

yo udon't even need a full steam install that way

solemn cedar
#

I am not expereinced with that...and honestly do not want to take the time to figure it out lol

alpine dawn
#

steamcmd logs into steam anonymously so the server isnt tied to your account

solemn cedar
#

hm

#

well now...im curious

#

ugh

#

😛

ornate osprey
#

MrCrisB - It isn't hard to do, the satisfactory dedicated server setup page actually links you to the SteamCMD setup pages and it does a good job walking you through it... I was able to mostly get things built out on a linux server without any assistance

wintry flax
#

Yah it is a pretty well done wiki page

solemn cedar
#

I iwll give it a shot

#

Makes me wonder if running the steamCMD would lsove my issue son the same system

ornate osprey
#

if it is a connection error probably not but maybe?

solemn cedar
#

worth a shot anyways

wintry flax
#

im in process

#

loading into game now

#

working fine

alpine dawn
#

I got started after you but yeah I am installing the server now

wintry flax
#

granted this is experimental

alpine dawn
#

should be up in a few minutes

#

I am doing EA

wintry flax
#

Cool.. then we'll know both vers

#

for what its worth -- i connected via 127.0.0.1

solemn cedar
#

@wintry flax is that running it through SteamCMD?

wintry flax
#

yep

#

server steamcmd -- epic client

solemn cedar
#

hm

alpine dawn
#

works here

#

on EA

#

same setup

#

steamcmd server epic client

#

connected via 127.0.0.1

solemn cedar
#

maybe its an issue running two programs on steam?

wintry flax
#

Negative.. I've run server AND client on different games from steam... no issues

#

i suspect firewall issues honestly.

solemn cedar
#

Hm

wintry flax
#

Possibly non-windows firewalls such as nortons, mcafees or something along those lines

ornate osprey
#

it could still be the Windows Firewall... it shouldn't be but could...

#

it does funky things sometimes

wintry flax
#

SHOULDN'T be... but it is windows firewall LOL

ornate osprey
#

ugh it's late I should go sleep... g'night all

wintry flax
#

night!

alpine dawn
#

damn I didnt realize how big the server is

wintry flax
#

little over 9 gigs

alpine dawn
#

mine showes 8.2 but yeah its big

wintry flax
#

I'm guesstimating based on what steamcmd was reading off

#

it was like 9.2 billion bytes or something. after mathing its prolly 8.2 gigabytes real.

alpine dawn
#

8818484097

wintry flax
#

Oh crap I know the difference

#

EA vs Experimental

#

Hi.. I'm warder and I'm dumb. LOL

alpine dawn
#

oooh

#

that makes sense

alpine dawn
wintry flax
#

LUL I was just clicking until it placed

#

Kept getting "too steep" error

solemn cedar
#

Ok, Well I turned off the fire wall and tried to connect thorough the three IPS...the interal, external and the 127...none of them worked

wintry flax
#

o.O

#

That's so bloody bizarre.

solemn cedar
#

its a head scratcher for sure

alpine dawn
solemn cedar
#

I have a feature update.....

#

21h2

wintry flax
#

Weirder question -- can you connect to ANY servers?

alpine dawn
#

hah

solemn cedar
#

have not attempted

wintry flax
#

gimme 2 mins

#

I'll spin up an EA for you to attempt to connect to

alpine dawn
#

I bet his client is corrupted somehow and steam is just not detecting it

wintry flax
#

this ^^^^

alpine dawn
#

@solemn cedar is your client modded in any way?

solemn cedar
#

FUCK! YES!!!!!...hol don

wintry flax
#

oh shit

#

LOL

alpine dawn
#

ditch the mods and try

wintry flax
#

good call Greg

#

That didn't even cross my brainmeats

solemn cedar
#

@alpine dawn you crazy sumbitch

alpine dawn
#

lol

#

is it working?

solemn cedar
#

yes

alpine dawn
#

haha

wintry flax
#

hot damn

alpine dawn
#

what mod

solemn cedar
#

stupid fly mod so i could build better

wintry flax
#

Good call Greg.

alpine dawn
#

ok someone add that to the wiki

#

fly mod

wintry flax
#

LUL

solemn cedar
#

well, im in.....but im stuck lol

#

cant move

alpine dawn
#

hmm

#

some other people were having like a 30 second stuck time when they started

#

but then they could move and anyone that was connected was not affected

solemn cedar
#

hm

#

i was impatient....and respaned

#

respawned

alpine dawn
#

is it working now?

alpine dawn
#

cool, disconnect and reconnect

#

see if it happens every time

wintry flax
#

I noticed it on experimental... no input until the logo goes away

alpine dawn
#

oh is that what the timer is?

#

waiting for the logo

#

I didnt notice it on mine

#

lemme fire up again and test

#

mine is instant

#

no wait time for input

wintry flax
#

yeah its definitely on experimental

#

I also see it MORE after a server reboot.

#

My server auto reboots with cronjob at 4am.

#

I wonder if its related to loading the save to the client.

solemn cedar
#

i think it might be....i relaoded the first save i had, and im stuck again...canot move

#

but after i respanwed i went back to hub and i was free

#

ok, 30sec and i am free

solemn cedar

@wintry flax and @alpine dawn Thank you both so much for your help

wintry flax
#

solemn cedar

Ya, but you spent far more time on it than I would have witha complete stranger lol

wintry flax

alpine dawn
solemn cedar
#

Least now we know...no mods....

wintry flax

I'm not even aware of support of mods on a server level yet

solemn cedar
#

apparently, it doesn't exist lol

cloud beacon
peak bloom
#

I've already got the add-on... But I have no idea how to launch it

cloud beacon
#

mm gives me a install failed

#

maybe it's not available then?

#

@peak bloom why don't u use steam it's the same?

peak bloom
# cloud beacon <@!226398497660731393> why don't u use steam it's the same?

I do. I didn't initially own it on Steam, which meant it didn't list in my Steam library. SteamCMD was the only way to get it, which was a mission. I went out and bought it on Steam just to get DS. But I have friends that don't want to do that and were hoping DS would be easy on Epic... I guess not yet

cloud beacon
#

I used steamCMD before but now I use cubecoder AMP so I can can statistics and have a start stop plan restarts and have just a button for updates

#

I know they said they were working on it for epic games but idk when it will be out then

i have a question, every time my server autosave my client disconnect from server (map is 9mb, save time is about 30seconds)

warped briar

hey guys, I recently made a dedicated server on system i had laying around. The process was mostly straight forward, but some things are still unclear. Firstly, I can't change the session type from 'private' to 'friends only' when i change it, it changes back to private after exiting the session settings. Secondly I don't know how to set up auto-save intervals, is there a way to set this?

vale bobcat

FG.AutosaveInterval xxx

warped briar
vale bobcat
#

yes

alpine dawn
#

You set a password on it

#

People connect using it's ip address

warped briar
alpine dawn
#

I don't think so

warped briar
#

Alright! thank you!

regal yoke
#

Hey guys I cant find the ini file for the dedicated server

#

there's no config file

loud saddle
#

you should be looking in the install directory

#

not in saves directory

regal yoke
#

The wiki said to go to this folder

#

thats the only folder i get if i go to steam apps

#

@loud saddle do you know where the file location is>

Yesterday i logged out my Epic Launcher and back in, when i connected to my server i asked for my password and thinks i'm another player, how do i fix this?

#

i gave the admin password, but it sees me as another player

#

yeah tried loging out epic games and back in, doesn't help

#

same with steam

#

sp?

nimble terrace
#

is it correct that the current stable version is 174799 and experimental 17824?

#

because I have this really weird issue of my server always using the experimental version despite me telling it to do otherwise

soft lion
#

ok fixed it, logged out steam and epic the same time, than logged back in on both and than it asked to authenticate again, now i'm back my original character

#

ok, reverted back to previous save game and now it's fine, back to my original point where i was

scenic jewel
#

Can i change the Autosave intervall?

#

Ok thx.

nimble terrace
#

okay now I definitely know that my server is in experimental, but why

lapis ferry
#

For some reason my satisfactory server instance is listening to 27015 instead of 15000

#

I didn't do anything with it

#

How and when

#

I didn't touch any .ini files, there are no, my friend somehow connected to the server and only changed the admin password

#

Where do I change its ports if there are no .ini files in the server directory

#

Dude I wouldn't ask if I didn't read the wiki page smh

nimble terrace
#

wasnt the public branch the default one? did they change that?

lapis ferry
#

There's no 'WindowsServer'

nimble terrace
#

isnt the port a launch arg?

#

-ServerQueryPort=15779 is the arg you need

#

or whatevery port you need

lapis ferry
nimble terrace
#

maybe it got changed and but isn't updated on the wiki yet

#

its still an unofficial wiki

#

btw thanks, that was the solution

lapis ferry
#

First SS is my powershell, second SS is from the wiki

#

What the hell do you mean by fixing my ports, I didn't even touch anything

#

I just installed this server and started it

#

How do I ask it to open this port on IPv4 instead

#

The 27015 (15000) one

#

I never did?

#

I just started it with default settings, no extra configuration

#

what do you mean lmao
