hmm, I havent ran into that one before

unkempt crescent
#

Hey engineers! Anyone know if there are know issues/ work arounds for consistent server crashes? (I think when autosaving) I'm not getting any helpful error messages or crash logs. Only the user time out for the clients when the server crashes ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

alpine dawn
#

is it crashing completely or if you let it sit does it come back?

#

sounds like it might just be timeouts due to long saves

#

there should be a server log generated each startup

#

whats the last thing in that

unkempt crescent
#

It fully crashes and need to be started manually again, the log mentions nothing special at all I'm afraid :/

alpine dawn
#

is it windows or linux?

unkempt crescent
#

windows

alpine dawn
#

have you checked event viewer?

unkempt crescent
#

I have not!

#

tnx for the tip, will give that a go

alpine dawn
#

hopefully windows has some insight as to why the process died or got killed

alpine dawn
unkempt crescent
alpine dawn
#

hmm interesting

#

well it would still have the logs from previous crashes in event viewer

queen pecan
#

did someone elses dedicated server also restarted? Got an warning ingame that my server will be restarted in 30 mins. Wondering why the restart is needed

alpine dawn
#

they all do, its programmed into the software to restart every 24hrs

#

not sure on the exact reasoning but I think possibly to kill off any potential memory leaks

#

still technically beta software on early access or beta

Hi, what is the latest version number for EXP and EA ?

alpine dawn
#

176027 EA 176089 EXP

frosty gale
#

How do I run my server with the "-nosteam" command?

wet nexus
#

hi my server wasnt starting and i saw an fix for it using -multihome but i cant find the start_server.sh file. does anyone know where to find it? i also tryed reffering it in the command that starts the server but that didnt fix anything/

Hello, I want to install mods on my dedicated server but I don't know in which file I should increment them, can someone tell me? I know it's possible since a friend had done it on his server but he can't remember exactly how to do it.

#

Some do, depends entirely on the mod developer.

#

Hello, So i have a huge problem XD I forgot the authentication password and now i can't get into my Dedicated Server ๐Ÿ˜ฆ HELP PLEASEEE

rustic lantern
#

have you tried Podman?

chrome torrent
#

i have not @rustic lantern

#

i, somehow, prefer to spin up a new Alpine VM and docker-compose my way out of there

#

isnt Podman more of a RedHat/CentOS thing?

rustic lantern
#

it is and since you don't need privileged account for it, you can run it as normal user, which is what is GNU/Linux philosophy about

chrome torrent
#

i'll be honest, im not sure what problem i'd be solving here :p

rustic lantern
#

Docker violates that by requirement for being ran as superuser, which is what you don't want.

Friend of mine has used docker to hack the host system to get root privileges from a container.

#

nowadays, corporates tend to move something less violating, I've personally ended up on containerd (Kubernetes) or Podman

chrome torrent
#

while id love to read the blogpost, im not too worried someone will break out of my vm in this particular situation

rustic lantern
#

not to mention I had troubles with docker's will to fuck up networking, at least security team really loved it to smash us with that to our faces during checkups...

chrome torrent
#

yes, docker isnt perfect

#

but it also solves a few problems

#

and for a homelab its more than ideal to quickly spin up something to test

#

without endlessly dealing with dependencies

#

you can catch most problems with ufw and properly isolating vm's

#

i only use one application per vm

#

and i like to think thats still a lot safer, than people who run whatever .exe on their windows home pc and exposing that directly to the internet ;)

rustic lantern
#

vm like container?

chrome torrent
#

no vm as in vm :p

rustic lantern
#

do you know what "ubuntu" means?

#

๐Ÿ˜‰

chrome torrent
#

"the recommend OS for certain applications"?

rustic lantern
#

nope

#

"I am unable to install Debian" ๐Ÿ˜€

chrome torrent
#

...its the same installer

rustic lantern
#

but jokes aside, some containers I had to deploy were ubuntu, just for their special need for something

chrome torrent
#

if i go to Pterodactyl and they recommend Ubuntu im not going to headache myself by being difficult

#

..and esxi 6.7 just doesnt list Alpine as an option :p

rustic lantern
#

back to docker, yeah, it's not perfect, but considering what kind of shits I had to deal with docker on Windows...

good old separate linux box with podman inside. Docker is OK if you want to keep compatibility, but other than that I rather go for Kubernetes if I can

#

not to mention dockerd is being dropped in 1.24

chrome torrent
#

Kubernetes just doesnt seem practical for small, standalone vm's in a homelab

#

RAM is expensive so i dont really see the point of running that overhead

rustic lantern
#

depends on where you live, it's not a problem to have BMs with considerable amount of RAM inside

chrome torrent
#

but, still, what problem would i solve if everything runs smoothly right now

#

i dont mind the "because i can" as a reason but this just seems a solution looking for an issue

rustic lantern
#

migration to podman? You don't need any extra setup for it like docker needs, you need to add yourself to docker group, then enable the dockerd service, ideally do a reboot...

With podman, I just pop my install script and I'm ready to go & build without any further requirements

Kubernetes is a extra story, I'm not gonna lie in that, but for a deployment of multiple images is what I would choose for. Lets say you have a set of microservices (I've written some for my job & private clients I serve) and everything has to be running

so you can deploy them manually (or scipt it) or let Helm get the deployment done for you

#

not to mention that Satisfactory Dedicated server is purely 64bit, so it does not need a container, unless you want to deploy it somewhere

chrome torrent
#

i take it you deal a lot with the cloud

rustic lantern
#

I just hope Valve will stop bitchin' and they will release a proper 64bit version of Steam / SteamCMD.

It's just about time, the only reason we have to deal with x86 architecture is purely Steam

rustic lantern
#

What I dislike on SF DS that it does not need a container, but needs a container for install.. by a 32bit software used in the past. And we already had 64bit machines from 2001. Those were Ithaniums, OK, not really compatible, but still..

chrome torrent
#

it does not need a container no, but it works really well in one

#

and i dont have to maintain anything, just docker-compose pull like nightly and call it a day

#

and if im done with it, i can throw the entire vm away without it leaving a trace

rustic lantern
chrome torrent
#

its mostly laziness, really, but i like not having to deal with dependencies, if its 32/64-bits, etc

#

i can plop down a compose-file, get coffee, and it Just Werks

#

if i want to do something more complicated i'll do my day job

rustic lantern
#

so far I'm running it with systemd and it works. AS my boxes are 64bit. Unless you're running multiarch combo

chrome torrent
#

but im not saying your method is wrong, but i get the feeling you're implying im running it the wrong way

#

rn i just spin up a new Alpine VM, ansible open-vm-tools, snmpd and docker on it, deploy one file, and i never have to do anything again, and i really like it that way

rustic lantern
#

No, I'm asking, why it feels better to run inside a container?

chrome torrent
#

because i dont have to do anything to install it

rustic lantern
#

Personally I disagree, as run that in a container - if it works for you - alright, nothing against it, but I would consider the extra overhead from deploying a container, mounting a volume/storage for persistence and then running it, writting a systemd script added me about 5 minutes incl. googling.

Unless you have a well-tuned system you can rely on, as most of the work is done by compose (exposing ports, etc)

chrome torrent
#

i mean im not creating the container by hand or anything? the Modern Lazy way is copying other peoples work

#

one could argue the vm itself would introduce overhead and it does, itd be faster to run eevrything baremetal, but i like having a console to trash the OS without getting on a ladder to the attic if something breaks

#

and i suppose i like to have a long list of servers in librenms instead of just 1 host

rustic lantern
#

OK, then I'm old-fashioned chump who likes to write everything non-on-market on his own because he can trust it afterwards

chrome torrent
#

that makes sense, but that would be my day job and i dont get paid for setting up game servers :P

#

does seem fun tho, running a small hosted-gameserver-business

rustic lantern
#

... ๐Ÿ˜€ , my bot written in NodeJS / C# took me more time than writting a Dockerfile + little reading on documentation, let's be honest.

chrome torrent
#

seems like a ton of money waiting, running minecraft servers on a few cheap Hetzner hosts

rustic lantern
#

Frankly, I'm getting paid by deploying game servers & writing plugins for it, so I'm good.

Although I'm mostly on clouds, though.

chrome torrent
#

which could be fun

#

what kind of plugins should i think of, that are paid?

#

somehow first thing that comes to mind is 'train simulator addons'

rustic lantern
#

I'll keep the "trade secrets" for myself, as it is not just plugin for single use.

chrome torrent
#

boo :p

rustic lantern
#

you have the liberty to think it's nonexistent, then

chrome torrent
#

But where's the fun in that

go to the server manager and there are tabs to the right, one of them allows you to set a password

hello how do i fix the compatibility problem of steam and epic?

alpine dawn
#

what do you mean?

#

what compatibility problem?

#

Anyone know more about running a private dedicated server as a service (so it auto-restarts in case of a crash)? I got the service to run, but it does not recognise any previous settings and starts as if its a totally new blank server.

alpine dawn
wanton pasture
#

uhm uhm uhm?

#

i dont understand lol. i did what the wiki said. used NSSM to start it as a service, but no idea how to set ports and all that

#

i pointed it to the FactoryServer.exe, just like my normal dedicated server does

vital meteor
#

your orginal bat file has your settings

alpine dawn
#

this happens more than I can believe

#

people get confused when they run steamcmd and create a new folder rather than update the one they have

wanton pasture
#

original bat file? i dont think i did it with a bat file...

alpine dawn
#

oh you just ran the exe by hand in the console

wanton pasture
#

console? uhm what console? im not a windows pro. i know my computers, but this is above me.

alpine dawn
#

command line

#

anyway not important

#

what is important is finding your old server config

#

and saves

#

what guide did you follow to setup the service?

alpine dawn
#

lmao

#

opens wallet

earnest willow
#

jesus christ

vital meteor
#

geez i could be making bank off my servers

alpine dawn
#

brb building more servers

blissful flower
#

Smh

alpine dawn
#

0ms ping is bae

#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

helps when everything is on the same switch

cursive hamlet
#

anyone wanna help me cus my friend cant join my dedicated server

alpine dawn
#

where is the server hosted

cursive hamlet
#

on my computer

#

i think

alpine dawn
#

well its important to know that

#

lol

cursive hamlet
#

yea

#

it is

alpine dawn
#

ok and did you setup your windows firewall and your router to allow access

cursive hamlet
#

idk how tho

alpine dawn
#

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

#

that powershell line should get windows firewall sorted out

#

if you didnt do anything with the default port numbers

#

how are you starting the server?

#

.\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended

#

just that by itself?

cursive hamlet
#

i got that

alpine dawn
#

I am asking if that is how you started it

cursive hamlet
#

and yes

alpine dawn
#

ok cool

#

so open powershell and paste that firewall command

cursive hamlet
#

i did

alpine dawn
#

cool so that takes care of your pc

cursive hamlet
#

it said access is denied

#

tho

alpine dawn
#

oh yeah sorry you have to do admin powershell

#

right click start button and select powershell(admin)

cursive hamlet
#

worked

alpine dawn
#

cool

cursive hamlet
#

now waht?

alpine dawn
#

do you know the IP address of your pc on your network?

#

192.168.

#

or 10.0

#

or 172.16

cursive hamlet
#

yes

alpine dawn
#

ok cool

#

can you go into your router?

cursive hamlet
#

wdym?

alpine dawn
#

we need to setup 3 port forwards in your network router/modem

cursive hamlet
#

irl?

#

on pc

alpine dawn
#

most likely a web interface at 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1

#

depending on what your network is

#

whats the ip of your pc?

cursive hamlet
#

o of pc\

#

or internet?

alpine dawn
#

your pc internal ip

cursive hamlet
#

and how?

alpine dawn
#

open powwershell and do ipconfig /all

cursive hamlet
#

and?

alpine dawn
#

do you see your network adapter listed with some address next to it?

cursive hamlet
#

ye

alpine dawn
#

what is the address

#

should look like that

#

it should list the default gateway ip

cursive hamlet
#

ipv4?

alpine dawn
#

yes

cursive hamlet
#

172.20.10.4

alpine dawn
#

is 172.20.10.1 the default gateway?

cursive hamlet
#

i think ye

#

wait no

alpine dawn
#

it should say it right below

cursive hamlet
#

172.20.10.1

alpine dawn
#

stick that into your web browser

cursive hamlet
#

google?

alpine dawn
#

no in the address bar

cursive hamlet
#

i did

alpine dawn
#

what popped up?

#

oh wait it did a google search

#

haha

#

put http:// in front of that IP

cursive hamlet
#

hh

#

oo

alpine dawn
#

anything come up?

cursive hamlet
#

i did ant i cant reach it

#

site cant be reached

alpine dawn
#

hmm try https:// in front of the ip and see if that works

cursive hamlet
#

def or ip ip

alpine dawn
#

just change the http to https

#

see if it comes up that way

#

if not you will need to go look at your internet router and see if it has any info on it

cursive hamlet
#

k

#

nope

#

might be because at&t

alpine dawn
#

yep time to go look at the router

#

see what it is

cursive hamlet
#

id id

#

i did

alpine dawn
#

oh

#

any info?

cursive hamlet
#

no

#

want me to look on botom also?

alpine dawn
#

yes

#

thats usually where it will be

#

wait...at&t...is it a wireless internet connection?

cursive hamlet
#

ye

#

it int going to work?

alpine dawn
#

no, wireless providers use CGNAT usually and you dont actually have your own public IP address

cursive hamlet
#

soo

#

i cant make a server?

alpine dawn
#

not at your house

cursive hamlet
#

what about eathernet?

alpine dawn
#

the issue is with your internet provider

cursive hamlet
#

Ethernet

alpine dawn
#

not with how you connect to it

cursive hamlet
#

tru

#

so how can i make server for free?

#

with out all of this noncence

alpine dawn
#

have one of your friends host it if they have a better provider than you

#

other than that everything else costs money

cursive hamlet
#

but i have none who know how

#

tho

frosty gale
#

could buy a vpn that assigns you a static ip

cursive hamlet
#

tru

#

but that almost that same as buying a server

frosty gale
#

if not cheaper

cursive hamlet
#

my perents might kill me tho

alpine dawn
#

think there are some p2p type VPNs

#

forgot the name now though

cursive hamlet
#

lol

alpine dawn
#

hamachi

#

that might work

#

been forever since I tried it

#

but all your friends would need to run that software too

#

basically puts you all on a virtual lan

#

so its like they are at your house

cursive hamlet
#

o

alpine dawn
#

no idea if the performance is good enough to run the game server though

#

well at least if you do try some kinda VPN service like that your computer firewall is not going to be a problem now

orchid vault
#

hamachi isnt a solution but if it works then your stuff can be setup right just means you have to tell the shit what to do

lilac ledge
#

running a dedicated server on docker, type in FG.DisableSeasonalEvents 1 into console, exit, relaunch, server still has gifts. what am I missing?

unkempt creek
#

Does anyone have glitchy trains in there server? Im are really glitchy and will do a 180 on the track and go other way

#

Im using 4gb of memory should i give it 6? I dont have a mega factory but i would say big #

sand galleon
#

@cursive hamlet Do not use Hamachi if you can; it is freaking cancer and is a security risk in the long run. Google "port forwarding" and go to the "portforward" website. Search for your router's (the internet box in your closet or whatever) make and model on the website for instructions on how to port forward. If your parents pay for / manage your home network, you will have to get their permission or ask for help to do this. Otherwise, you can purchase a server from a reputable host.

earnest willow
sand galleon
#

The server also needs to be cleanly shutdown for that setting to be written to disk (as opposed to killing the Docker container).

#

If all else fails, you could manually write it to the correct config file (maybe FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini?), but I'm not sure what file or what the setting is called.

alpine dawn
#

also he was looking for free options

alpine dawn

# alpine dawn docker sounds like a horrible nightmare to work with

It's actually kinda nice and clean once you get it set up. Definitely a learning curve to learn about it and get it setup for the first time. I run all my Satisfactory servers on Pterodactyl, which is Docker under the hood, and run by Docker itself. Super convenient in the long term or for scaling needs. Not good for jo-shmo at home hosting a server for friends tho, lol

alpine dawn
#

yeah I would rather just use real containers

sand galleon
#

You mean an operating system?

alpine dawn
#

LXC

#

yes

#

linux containers

sand galleon
#

Isn't LXC pretty synonymous with other container/image solutions like Docker or Kubernetes?

#

Docker is Linux containers (most of the time)

alpine dawn
#

kinda, it acts as a VM

#

you can SSH into it and treat it like a real server

sand galleon
#

So does Docker?... I guess I'm just confused on the verbiage or small technicalities of it all.

#

I guess maybe use-case is the difference

alpine dawn
#

I was of the impression that docker was more of an app specific container where as LXC is the whole OS

#

for instance the hypervisor is running debian and if I wanted to I could run a gentoo container

sand galleon
alpine dawn
#

someone else was saying the whole os thing wasnt something docker does so I just took them at their word

sand galleon
#

It's also not a "full blown" VM, with GUI access either, so if you want a hands on approach you won't have a great time

alpine dawn
#

I have never used it and it looked way more complex to setup

sand galleon
#

Great for scalability, reliability, simplicity, and replication, but probably not great for your use-case. And that's totally ok ๐Ÿ™‚ There's no "right" answer

alpine dawn
#

this is what I am using for LXC and qemu VMs

sand galleon
#

Nice ๐Ÿ™‚

alpine dawn
#

got 2 LXC servers for Ark and Satisfactory and just installed a windows vm

sand galleon
#

Bro, I only run ARK on a bulky windows server VM (via HyperV), just so I can use the GUI Ark server manager app XD No way am I configuring that shit with raw config files, lol

alpine dawn
#

lmao there are web based config utils that I use

sand galleon
alpine dawn
#

got your dms off but I will post it in #off-topic-tech cuz its kinda off topic

small field
#

Im having same issues with dedicated server not starting

alpine dawn
#

can you show the command you are using to start it

small field
#

FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended -NOSTEAM

alpine dawn
#

why nosteam?

#

have you tried it without that switch?

#

dunno why its there

small field
#

yes i have still get the same error

vital meteor
#

reboot the machine or vm whatever it is

fair rune
#

how can i switch to experimental on the sevrer side

#

Hi, I'm having issues with my client and server versions mismatching. I've performed a clean install of the server using the SteamCMD line

>C:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\GameServers\Satisfactory\ +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit

I'm connecting a steam client. It looks like the client is behind the server. Any suggestions?

vital meteor
#

verify game data on your client

somber egret
#

I'm redownloading the client data now.

#

Redownloaed client, verified game files...same thing.

vital meteor
#

client steam too?

somber egret
#

yes.

#

the client is being launched with steam

#

where can I find the correct version of the game

vital meteor
#

this is current version

#

hmm even my game version is 27 lol

somber egret
#

weird. I wonder why my client isn't downloading that

#

how can you see your client version...other than the server screen?

#

ahh, it's on the bottom left of the main menu

vital meteor
#

-beta public

#

try put that in your server launch option

somber egret
#

As part of the run script?
FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended -beta public

vital meteor
#

yeah

somber egret
#

didn't seem to work

#

I'll double check

#

oh, that's supposed to be a flag on the download. Let me try to install it with the -beta public flag

#

That was it. Thanks Stephen!

vital meteor
#

good to hear, was half you figuring it too lol

wraith pebble
#

My server takes so loong to save that everyone disconnects, and then it is impossible to rejoin afterwarsd, anyone know a workaround for this?

vital meteor
#

is it on the same machine as your playing on?

wraith pebble
#

no, why?

vital meteor
#

resource wise. the server on hdd or ssd

wraith pebble
#

ssd, the problem is not disk IO

#

I think it is that it autosaves, then that takes long time, so everyone disconnects, and that triggers another autosave before the last one is finished?

vital meteor
#

i mean it should be taking seconds for the save to finish

#

it auto saves on interval and auto saves on all player disconnect

wraith pebble
#

yeah, but save takes around 22 secs

#

is it possible to turn off compression?

vital meteor
#

that i dont know but i doubt it

#

whats the specs on the server

outer anvil
#

my dedicated server is stuck on Private what can i do

wraith pebble
vital meteor
#

is it ran in a vm?

outer anvil
#

thank you

wraith pebble
vital meteor
#

are people timing out during the autosave?

bleak dune
#

Now do I add the -NOSTEAM command on the command line for the DS.

#

I wish they would have added in a UI for the server.

#

ok, everyone died

sudden creek
#

Dedicated servers & mods, possible?

earnest willow
#

No.

worldly grove
#

it s possible increase tick rate ?`or limit 30

#

Any place to find info on configuring and setting up the Epic store Dedicated server? The Pin message seems to be for the Steam CMD version

#

you sure yor pointing to the correct ip

#

both in fairness

unkempt creek
#

My trains wont show on the map along with all trains randomly being under the ground in the middle of the map

#

Is there a fix for these issues?

vocal jungle
#

reload the save

#

maybe

muted gulch
vocal jungle
#

are you trying to run the dedicted on the same box as the game

#

ok so when you start your client and put the ip of the server in whats it say

Hmm where is the server located in relation to you?

#

Same lan?

velvet spoke
#

no its hosted

vocal jungle
#

so something weird or your lying

alpine dawn
#

Mods installed?

velvet spoke
#

no mods

alpine dawn
#

Reverify client files already?

velvet spoke
#

yup

#

gunna see if they will move me to another box

alpine dawn
#

Oh I see it's the server crashing

#

Just looked at the log

velvet spoke
#

yeah i keep getting fatal errors in the console

alpine dawn
#

Have you tried to download the save file and run it locally single player to see if it's corrupted

velvet spoke
#

ill try that

vocal jungle
#

and did the save have mods before

velvet spoke
#

at no point has it had mods

vocal jungle
#

ok

#

is it a VM or baremetal, windows or linux

alpine dawn
#

It's windows from the logs

#

Why the hosting company uses windows is beyond me

vocal jungle
#

i know i want them to confirm helps me know level of capability's

velvet spoke
#

server shows running but no activity from cpu or memory also doesnt show the correct amount of memory

vocal jungle
#

click stop

#

then update server files

velvet spoke
#

still no activity

vocal jungle
#

is there a users section in the management portal

supple marsh
#

Is a game loaded?

worldly grove
#

how you have this web interface

#

??

vital meteor
#

im assuming is a server from a provider

does anyone know what this means

vital meteor
#

did you allow through firewall?

green plank
#

Hey guys I'm having some kind of validation issue where I get UniqueId: INVALID

#

This is a screenshot of the server log with my IP blocked out, anyone know what the cause of this could be ?

#

Also getting this issue on my client

vital meteor
#

ports open and firewall exceptions?

scarlet hull
green plank
#

The server is being hosted on a hosting website, shockbyte.com . And I would assume they have everything configured correctly on their end because we have 1 other friend that is able to connect and everything functions correctly. It is only me that is having this issue. the server just says 'server name pending, and 'NotAuthenticated' in the server manager, but yet it says Game Ongoing and shows my current ping. but yet whenever I try to connect it fails and gives me this invalid id error

vital meteor
#

are you steam version or epic

#

@scarlet hull i would guess your double nat, router behind a router

scarlet hull
#

okay i dont know what that means

#

maybe this dedicated server is too much for me lolol

vital meteor
#

alot of people will use there own personal routers and hook them up with your isp provided router but will not get the isp to bridge there router. So you will end up with a double nat (network address table) which causes alot of connection issues

scarlet hull
#

i only have one router tho

#

there is no tutorial for epic games people lol, can i use the steamcmd tutorials and download that while having game on epic?

vital meteor
#

sorry the epic steam question was for another user

#

are you not using the steam dedicated server (created using steamcmd) currently?

orchid vault
#

you dont need a how to for epic launcher dedi server lol

#

you install same as anything else and the rest of the information is on the wiki page

solid bay
#

how to report a bug?

spice heart
#

are dedicated servers supported on early access?

orchid vault
#

what?

spice heart
#

or can you only connect via experimental

orchid vault
#

experimental is newer

spice heart
orchid vault
#

you can use ea if u use ea server

spice heart
#

so ea servers do exist

#

ok

Hi Guys! I am playing on a dedicated server and I have an issue with a Rock on an iron source

#

I already exploded the rock but it stays in place

#

You can now walk through it though

haughty zodiac
#

@toxic heath is it this one?

#

had the same issue recently
haven't tried yet but usually you can solve such things by loading the savegame into singleplayer, build your miner and then load a new savegame back to your dedicated

toxic heath
#

Yes that is the one!

#

Ok thanks for the tip, going to try it

Hello! Is there a way to change the connection timeout for the dedicated server? I've tried adding
[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]
ConnectionTimeout=120.0
to Engine.ini, as explained in the wiki (which didn't exist, I had to create it). I realize this may be a client side only command
The save file is large, so when an autosave happens, everyone gets booted since the server locks up for 40-45 seconds each time

turbid violet
#

How do you clear all the info on a server, i want to restart my server but after deleting and re-installing it with SteamCMD it seems to still want my original servers password

outer steppe
#

Does anyone have success playing huge safe files on their dedicated server? Something with like 200 nuclear reactors? Because im handling tickrate timeout right now, but im wondering if anyone has gotten basically a super endgame save to run smoothly on their server

outer steppe
#

Also i edited Engine.ini as in the Wiki article but i still time out with 30 seconds

cosmic sky
#

Hello, I have a i7-12700k and I get really bad frames when hosting a game to my friends

#

they all get good FPS

#

currently hosting with the built-in game session

#

would it possibly help me to host the dedicated server

#

on the same machine I`m playing on

#

there's still a bunch of CPU just chillin

smoky stirrup
#

This is about a 6MB save.

#

Telling everyone on the server to pause whatever they're doing, at random, for six to seven seconds every few minutes is pretty shitty

#

Balancing autosave frequency and the chance of losing a ton of good work with matter of usability is a challenge.

alpine dawn
# cosmic sky

your CPU isnt fast enough you got 2 cores that are completely saturated

cosmic sky
#

or close to it

alpine dawn
#

what is eating 2 whole cores?

#

thats excessive

cosmic sky
#

satisfactory

#

nothing else running rn

#

wondering if dedicated would run faster than client

#

maybe more multicore usage

alpine dawn
#

you could try it, not sure why your satisfactory is using that much CPU

vital meteor
#

dedicated server is still very much single threaded right now

cosmic sky
#

at least it might be a different thread than the game one

vital meteor
#

are you running w11?

cosmic sky
#

no

#

windows 10

vital meteor
#

that cpu is best used with 11

#

10 doesnt have the core scheduler for that cpu design

cosmic sky
#

Hmmmm I'll try upgrading then

alpine dawn
#

dunno I have a way crappier proc and its nowhere near 100% on any core when playing

#

so yeah something is up

cosmic sky
#

Ill retry resetting everything to default

#

can you shoot me your game ini ?

#

do you ever host games with the session thing

alpine dawn
#

no I have a server

hallow shard
#

just going to jump in here, whats the difference between server and hosting a game when it comes to Satisfactory ?

vital meteor
#

that cpu has performance cores and efficiency cores. win 10 doesnt know the difference so he could possible be running on the wrong cores

#

that cpu no game lol

cosmic sky
#

I can disable the E-core in the bios

#

ill try

#

also my settings are dumb

vital meteor
#

what gpu

alpine dawn
cosmic sky
#

rtx3070

vital meteor
#

bit much for ulta on 3070

alpine dawn
#

I have mine maxed out

#

all the settings

#

and a 2060S

cosmic sky
#

yeah it has to be the game session hosting that's capping the threads

alpine dawn
#

oh your resolution is higher than mine

#

so that might do it

#

I am only running 1920x1200

vital meteor
#

guess depending on what fps your shooting for too

alpine dawn
#

capped at 60fps on mine due to refresh rate of the monitor

cosmic sky
#

My question was wether I'd potentially get more performance hosting my game on a dedicated server than running with the in-game session hosting

#

dedicated server would be running on my PC anyways

vital meteor
#

be most likely the same, but wouldnt hurt to try

alpine dawn
#

others have tried and did get an increase in performance

#

I havent messed with that

#

I just set it up on another machine

vital meteor
#

same i have few servers though

cosmic sky
#

yeah... I have no other computers laying around that would be worth hosting it on

#

a gen1 i3 laptop with 4gb ram

#

xD

alpine dawn
#

I built one for it

#

lmao

vital meteor
#

depending which generation the i3 is might be okay just would need bump up the ram

alpine dawn
#

ram is way too low

#

6gig min

cosmic sky
#

nah that laptop gonna suck 100 times more than hosting on gaming machine

#

it struggles to run 2 browser tabs

vital meteor
#

cause you have 4gb of ram...

cosmic sky
#

it's a laptop that was garbage when it was bought 10+ years ago, give it a chance

alpine dawn
#

Anyway this is what mine looks like but I dont know what Intel is doing these days

cosmic sky
#

Well it's like 40% more performance per core so it makes no sense it'd be struggling like that lol

alpine dawn
#

if you disable the eco cores will that remove the total core count?

cosmic sky
#

yes

alpine dawn
#

er lower rather

cosmic sky
#

8p, 4e

#

so it's 12core if Ecores are on

alpine dawn
#

so windows 10 just doesnt know which are what

vital meteor
#

right

cosmic sky
#

turning E-cores off brb

#

no more energy savingz

#

omg I have so many more frames now XD

#

wtf ahahahaha

#

I had 60fps... with dips to 30

#

now 170

vital meteor
#

free upgrade

alpine dawn
#

problem solved

cosmic sky
#

but yeah I'll upgrade to win11 soon

vital meteor
#

downgrade* lol

cosmic sky
#

if I can't get classic shell I'll do a start menu depression

vital meteor
#

yeah you can get it

cosmic sky
#

having to install an adblock for my start menu says a lot

vital meteor
#

i have it on my laptop, my only issue with it is grouped task bar windows

alpine dawn
#

and yeah I am running win11

vital meteor
#

ill wait on my desktop for direct storage api

alpine dawn
#

pretty sure thats false

#

I have connected to several peoples servers and I know they arent in the same timezone as me

#

firewalls

vital meteor
#

was the time and date correct

#

yes

alpine dawn
#

so you have a windows server directly attached to the internet with no other firewall in front of it?

vital meteor
#

i mean you could simply change the time zone to rule that out

alpine dawn
#

and what ports exactly did you open on it for satisfactory?

vital meteor
#

whatever your local timezone is, its your server you dont have to have the timezone set to where its located.

alpine dawn
#

it only uses 3 ports

#

so I dont know why you have 4

#

also you must have remapped at least 1 port

#

for some reason

#

well then you are missing a port

#

7777

#

these are the default ports

#

all UDP

#

please look over the wiki page

vital meteor
frosty gale
#

I just wish I could figure out how to run it behind Nginx

#

so that I can use cloudflare as a proxy to hide my IP address

alpine dawn
#

why

frosty gale
#

wdym why

alpine dawn
#

also its not TCP so thats likely never going to work

frosty gale
#

Yea ik

#

but every other game server is TCP and works behind cloudflare as a proxy lol

#

(and Nginx as my reverse proxy ofc)

alpine dawn
#

"every other gameserver" is not TCP

frosty gale
#

Minecraft is

alpine dawn
#

yeah thats the one

frosty gale
#

it works behind cloudflare and tcp

alpine dawn
#

like the only one

frosty gale
#

p sure factorio is

alpine dawn
#

normal FPS games are all UDP

frosty gale
#

normal FPS games dont have dedicated servers available to the public.

alpine dawn
#

yes they do

frosty gale
#

p sure they dont

alpine dawn
#

you are too young to remember most of them

frosty gale
#

but fps games are all shit anyways so idc

alpine dawn
#

I could toss up a counterstrike 1.6 server right now

#

or ET

#

or UT

frosty gale
#

counterstrike (and cs go, and whatever the hell else they have) is shit

vital meteor
#

and thats your opinion

alpine dawn
#

point is nearly all FPS games are UDP

frosty gale
#

point is, I don't care about fps games, I'm talking about real games.

alpine dawn
#

shit even non FPS games like starcraft and warcraft are UDP

#

minecraft is an outlier

vital meteor
#

time to play a nonreal game "halo infinite" because its fps

orchid vault
#

hahah greg now ive seen it all .. people throwing in addon ports for fun

alpine dawn
#

yeah dunno why there was 4

orchid vault
#

lol

vital grove
#

#

So, now for a (not really a question because someone has asked, but) What is this stuff:

orchid vault
#

just warnings

#

like notices

vital grove
#

Right, but every time this is happening my game is in some kind of time freeze.

orchid vault
#

lol

vital grove
#

and I rubberband.

orchid vault
#

well better pic of info or log would help

#

could be server needs restart cause its desyncing

#

should be restarted once a day

vital grove
#

shrugs this is literally straight from the DS that's running. Restarted a couple hours ago.

#

Or, you know, right now because it just booted me randomly.

orchid vault
#

^^^^^

vital grove
#

not that it hasn't happened before... and I restart on a regular basis to avoid issues. But you know... Thanks brah. thumbs up

we have no information

When it comes up again I'll go back and get what came before it.

orchid vault

crashes create crash logs

#

anyways have a good one

vital grove
#

But I do thank you for the tips. I'll try to get more next time it occurs.

#

Where are the crash logs located?

orchid vault
#

folder outside of where saves are kept

#

its easy to find

vital grove
#

Alrighty cool. Thank you.

orchid vault
#

who are u

vital grove
#

Ah, I'm not the only one.

orchid vault

lol no idea what your talking about

vital grove

@next oracle Glad you got it working.

orchid vault

hahaha

vital grove
#

Firewalls and forwarding can be a bia. Just helped a dude out last week get through and test successfully.

#

S'all good. Don't feed the trolls and take the high road.

orchid vault
#

oh your pissed off cause i laughed about you setting up 4 ports for server that only needs 3

vital grove
#

It takes umph. sometimes you have to choke down a good buzz not to go ape-crap.

#

Meh. It's just time of day. There's a ton of cool people in here.

orchid vault

lol i wasnt in rest of conversation lol

#

you should calm before you get yourself banned

Pfft, whatever @orchid vault

orchid vault

what im supposed to take this abuse?

vital grove

How about not have an attitude? You had one with me too.

i only laughed that they put 4 ports in not 3

i didnt help that guy or nothing

#

ertragan ill try lookin at ur log if u get it

vital grove
#

S'all good. was alll in the confusing mess I read through quickly when I got back on

orchid vault
#

but its hard for anyone to help from the limited info in the pic u posted before

vital grove
#

plus it doesn't look like there is much out of the ordinary in either of them.

#

But good to know where they are at now.

#

sec

orchid vault
#

if your game crashes then the info is in the log file .. and if you post it people can try to help you with it

vital grove
#

That's from the specific FactoryGame-backup-2022.01.10-03.41.56 file.

#

This is from the FactoryGame.txt

#

Wonder if it's related to drones.

#

I'll try a complete clean reboot first. go from there. But the timeout thing has been happening for quite a while. Getting booted hasn't.

alpine dawn
#

yeah I have heard others have issues with drones

#

one or multiple drone ports could be fucking off on you

#

usually rebuilding them helps

orchid vault
#

what they get lost?

alpine dawn
#

wow I missed dude getting banned

#

no they dont get lost they just stop working

orchid vault
#

weird

vital grove
#

I'm testing a theory regarding program induced latency.

orchid vault
#

i would guess the cpu is getting to bogged and its skipping info for drones

#

when unreal is bogged on cpu it starts skipping rules and stuff and doing random weird shit

#

hydroneer suffered really badly from it

alpine dawn
#

haha

#

hydroneer is lul

#

but yes I could see that

orchid vault
#

ya im the infamous guy max hates so much

#

cause i pointed it out to everyone in the discord

#

and he ended up having to redo the game to make good on it

alpine dawn
#

all of hydroneer I know is from LGIO

orchid vault
#

anyways just mentioned cause its same engine and ive seen alot of same "issues"

#

css will get it ironed out as they get closer to 1.0

#

in that save that is doin that.. i would try shutting all the production down except the line going to/from the drones

#

let it run for a bit and go eat dinner or something

#

then can bring stuff back online in chunks and see if it gets unstable

vital grove
#

Unrelated: You a programmer?

orchid vault
#

im retired hehe

orchid vault
#

i just enjoy beating on unreal engine with games like this

vital grove
#

Nods

#

hehe, how about beating on unity?

orchid vault
#

i do some of that to hehe just games like this are more on unreal

alpine dawn
#

I am going to go beat on setting up UT2004 server now

orchid vault
#

have fun hehe

alpine dawn
#

hope its not a massive PITA

are you trying what i said with limiting load of game?

A friend and I are trying to set up a dedicated server on a server he owns running CentOS Stream 8. We were able to download and install the server without any issues, and it runs fine standalone or using Linux GSM, but we cannot connect to it. No matter what we've tried, the server shows up as Offline in-game. We have forwarded all the ports as described on the wiki and verified that they are forwarded and open on the server and the router, and according to the server logs it is able to bind to them. However, we still can't connect. Is there something we're missing?

vocal jungle

open the firewall

azure meteor
#

are dedicated servers only on experimental?

vocal jungle
#

no there both

how do i figure out the port?

it will be the ip of the server

I have a boulder that was technically destroyed a month or 2 ago, before they put in the nobelisk fix. It came back and now it's just chilling on an iron node. The game understands it to be gone, in that there's nothing to destroy. In fact I can pass through if I just keep pushing after the initial collision. But it's collider is still present and prevents structures from being built. Is there anything I can hack to make it just go away or am I out of luck?

marsh dawn
#

Maybe save editing. Not sure it will work though.

rigid junco
#

hmm... let me see if I can figure that out

orchid vault
#

modding discord u might be able get some help

#

they have a standalone save editor so u find out what rocks are listed as

#

then remove them all or figure out which is the one

Does anyone know why my friends cant join my dedicated server. I know that it is working and up because ai was able to join it but when I sent my friend the adress for the server it said that the server may be offline. Does anyone know a fix or any solutions?

are you local to the server?

chrome torrent
#

im legit concerned about the amount of people setting up servers that have no idea what a firewall is, how to find a port, etc. seems like a security nightmare

im all for selfhosting but this is relying way too much on the server to be secure by default

Unfortunately, we all fall in the trap of not RTFMing. Some more than others...

vital meteor

I mean the good portion are probably kids wanting to play with there friends and really have no idea what a server really is. i mean back in the day you probably would have opened a music file called "good music.exe" and been non the wiser. everyone starts somewhere.

I am sure you can add it to it with various plugins but I dont think its in the default engine, maybe I am wrong...I havent actually dont a packet capture on my network

#

guess I could give that a go

#

I dont see any UPnP activity from the dedicated server

vital meteor
#

borderlands uses p2p so wouldnt it be beneficial to have upnp for easy of connectivity?

alpine dawn
#

maybe the listen server in satisfactory client uses UPnP

#

for the same reason

#

cant really test that right now

#

actually that would make sense it has something about NAT status IIRC

i think theres some special thing using steams relay servers for p2p not having to use upnp but thats above me

alpine dawn
#

dunno I have only used the listen server on lan

#

and of course that just worked without issues

Anyone knows if its possible to change the restart interval on dedicated servers?

dawn sparrow
#

Can dedicated servers handle mods?

alpine dawn
#

to my knowledge its on a per mod basis so there isnt really a catch all answer

reef gull
#

no mods work on servers, our (mod community's) tools aren't built for them yet, it is a WIP

frosty gale
#

Oh my god I wrote it in the wrong spot

#

Nevermind my question for now hehe

icy field

icy field

#

let me check

#

can you tell me where exactly I can find the save?

icy field
#

Should be:
[/Script/Engine.Player]
ConfiguredInternetSpeed=120000
ConfiguredLanSpeed=130000

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]
InitialConnectTimeout=99.0
ConnectionTimeout=99.0
MaxClientRate=120000
MaxInternetClientRate=120000

Im accessing the server files via filezilla, Im not sure bout the path. Is this the correct path? /steamcmd/satisfactory/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer

frosty gale
#

Ok I edited my engine.ini with the values you posted. Now I just upload it and restart the server, ye?

frosty gale
#

Ok thanks for that, Im struggling to find the savegames, any idea where theyre located?

icy field
frosty gale
#

cant seem to find it

#

you have it from steam not epic

#

Ye I know, I checked the folders but theres nothing I would recognize as a save file

#

iโ€™d youโ€™re on windows itโ€™s under the users folder

#

then local

#

factory game

#

wait, the servers save game is on my pc?

#

no

#

what os is your server running?

#

should be linux from what Ive seen

#

we rented on indifferentbroccoli

#

oh then iโ€™m no help

#

thanks for the effort though, much appreciated

#

np

vocal jungle
#

no

#

the save for the dedicated is on the server not your pc

frosty gale
#

yeah, I just noticed that FileZilla doesnt even show the folder

#

on the hosters filebrowser it appears though

#

then iโ€™d assume steamcmd

#

satisfactory

#

nah theres nothing

#

weird

#

the folder I needed was on the servers root

#

filezilla doesnt show any files and folder with a period in front of it, maybe its just a setting Im missing

#

anyway, @icy field the save file is 7.72mb

#

Ok I think I figured it out. I edited the engine.ini file with notepad and then uploaded it to the server via filezilla. Using the hosters file explorer I noticed that none of my edits ever got registered there. Using its explorer I was able to edit the files successfully. I hope it finally works for us and anyone who might have trouble with it

well anyway, the server doesnt seem do like any changes I did. We keep getting kicked off of it

Does anyone know a step-by-step process to make a dedicated server using SteamCMD, or maybe a video explaining it. One problem I have been having is I got a server to run once before so me and a friend could play on the server (note: He lives in a different state then me). When the server was up I joined it with my public ip address and I gave him the address I used to get into the server but when he put it in the address bar it said that the server may be offline. Afterwards I uninstalled it and tried to set it up again to see if just retrying it would work but it didn't and know I don't remember what to do and I don't know what to do so me and my friend can play on a server without it being hosted by one person. I also don't have money to host a server on a hosting platform. Any help would be appreciated.

hushed rose
#

My friend keeps getting stuck on loading in when he joins the game

#

and it crashes

orchid vault
#

could be timing out

#

try moving hte hub to where there is nothing to really load on start to render

hushed rose
#

I just made it

orchid vault
#

once they are connecting and loaded the area .. u can try putting it back

#

then you need error msg or crash log

hushed rose
#

I haven't even made anything yet

#

where would that be?

orchid vault
#

or they have mods not turned off in manager

#

logs are outside the save folder

hushed rose
#

I just bought it for them too lol

hushed rose
orchid vault
#

the one who is crashing

#

lol

hushed rose
orchid vault
#

upload file

hushed rose
#

which one?

orchid vault
#

delete them all and run it once to crash

#

post that log

hushed rose
#

but like there is like 5 files

orchid vault
#

old stuff doesnt matter

#

just need current info why its crashing

hushed rose
#

ok

#

this is what he got when it kicked him

#

I censored my ip btw

hushed rose
orchid vault
#

read the top line of it .. thats all i can say about that

#

log file has the actual errors and such

hushed rose
#

ok

hushed gateBOT
orchid vault
#

hushed rose
#

hushed rose
orchid vault

hushed rose
#

ok

orchid vault
#

or look at recent post history or try the search on the site

validate files usually fixes access violation, unless it's an underlying library issue, such as VC-redist, or other corrupted libraries.
In that case you might have to repair/reinstall the redist.

hushed rose
#

I'll tell him

#

Is it correct that mods do not work on dedicated servers yet?

hushed gateBOT
#

Ask for mods over at the [official modding discord](#welcome message). - <3 @orchid vault

#

i never thought i'd be the one to ask something as rudimentary as this lol (sorry!) but how are trucks/trains performing in multiplayer right now?

vital meteor
#

trains seem fine, i never bothered with trucks myself

tropic wraith
#

trains are okeyish, occasionally glitchy

#

trucks are acceptable, mostly

#

but definitely more glitchy than trains

granite jetty
#

i guess we'll find out the hard way!

tropic wraith
#

one low point of trucks is that you kinda want to record whole track in one go without autosave

#

if autosave occurs, it will corrupt the track

#

which is kinda tricky since there is no indication that autosave incomes on multiplayer

oblique ice
#

So, probably the host will have to do it?

rose sundial
#

Anyone free to help a nice guy troubleshoot a dedicated server? I can join it via LAN, but friends cannot see it. Port forwarding appears to be correct, but apparently I'm missing something! I'm a techy guy and can share my screen, etc. I would really appreciate it!

#

Are you sure you have it on a static IP and have that IP passing through the port on both protocols?

rose sundial
#

I chose UDP per the guides, I should instead select all?

alpine dawn
#

UDP is sufficient

vocal jungle
#

are you giving your friends the correct external ip

alpine dawn
rose sundial
#

Yes, giving them my router IP

#

external

alpine dawn
#

assuming it has a software firewall

rose sundial
#

my PC running satisfactory server has windows firewall disabled

#

no third party firewall application

alpine dawn
#

what start parameters did you use to run the server?

vocal jungle
#

no vpn ?

rose sundial
#

no vpn

#

factoryserver.exe -log -unattended

alpine dawn
#

so you should have UDP 15777 15000 and 7777 all forwarded through the firewall to your pc

rose sundial
#

Can I paste pictures in here?

alpine dawn
#

not sure why it says service type http

rose sundial
#

I'm not sure if the virtual servers menu on the left is the correct spot, but that's where the tplink video indicated I should do

vocal jungle
#

are you double natted ?

rose sundial
#

Yes, I have 2 routers in my home.

vocal jungle
#

we have a winner

alpine dawn
#

hmm

#

so the external IP is a private IP?

vocal jungle
#

that or he isnt forwarding the ports on both

rose sundial
#

it's not a 192. if that's what you mean

alpine dawn
#

could be 10. or 172.

rose sundial
#

My config is Router A -> dummy switch -> PCs and router B

#

it is a 10.

alpine dawn
#

k so private

vocal jungle
#

10 is private

rose sundial
#

ah. So I'm dumb ๐Ÿ™‚

vocal jungle
#

it happens to alot of people not me or greg but it comes up alot

alpine dawn
#

so is this server behind both routers or just one

rose sundial
#

woops, it's 100.

alpine dawn
#

hm

granite jetty
#

i posted 'are you sure that's not a private ip'

#

then deleted it because i thought i might sound stupid

#

turns out it was a private ip ๐Ÿคก

#

thanks folks

alpine dawn
#

you getting that from a website or from your router config

vocal jungle
#

he need to work out his topology and route things correcly

alpine dawn
#

maybe, I am still not sure if its going through both routers or just the one

#
  1. IP is public
#

so if he got that from the router config it should be fine

#

if he is getting that from a website that tells you the IP it could still be CGNAT
