I'm in my dedicated server but I don't see a save button anymore. Is there no manual way to save in dedicated servers?

frosty gale
#

does anyone want to run/join a dedicated server?

#

what would i need to buy to run a server

grim mica
#

Yes, you can save in the server manager page if you are authenticated

#

"Manage Saves" tab iirc

plucky salmon
#

Dedicated servers are like, 1 month old. Maybe 2-3 at longest.

fervent carbon
#

pins about it is from late October in here

plucky salmon
#

Ahh.

echo marlin
#

yeah they released in october

#

so 6 months

plucky salmon
#

But they came out with U5, right?

#

Which was Feburary.

echo marlin
#

I think technically but it was available in experimental since october

plucky salmon
#

??

echo marlin
#

what

plucky salmon
#

The server software, cause the ability to connect at least wasn't added to the game till U5.

echo marlin
#

my entire point is they have been working on dedicated server for only 7 months

#

its irrelevant when it was released in a non-experimental context

plucky salmon
#

Oh, working on, sorry, I though that you were talking about when they released.

bright robin
#

they work on dedicated (and have internal functional version) for years (like update 2) and you can use it for 6 months now (since update 5 was pushed in experimental branch precisly). That said, they are still very experimental and it may need big changes that could only come with update 6 to be really stable (like dedicated experimental launch had to wait update 5).

Looking for some instruction on how to setup a dedicated server using the downloadable add-on from Epic. TIA

crystal eagle

Does anybody have some sort of instructions how to tweak the Timeout settings on the client and Dedi server? btw server in steamcmd

Please, give advise, why Not work dedicated server...or what I would be do to work it

Is there a way to increase the tickrate on a dedicated server through the configs? The conveyors are extremely sluggish in that stuff stops moving on them, even though items still go in and out of the various inventories. So clearly they're still being simulated but isn't reflected in the rendering

What is server manager?

jolly glen
#

its in the game, dont push Singleplayer or Multiplayer

#

you push Server Manager

#

it has a red triangle next to it

frozen cove
#

Ok

#

What would be the best way to share my dedicated server with people from here? I can hide my IP behind a dns like Duckdns, and only give out the duckdns url.
But is there a way to prevent grieving? Or is that just a matter of making a Save and reloading that if someone decides to be lame and destroy stuff?

frosty gale
#

Host it on a VPS

quiet quarry
#

how would that help with grieving?! Hosting isn't the problem, i want to protect my world

grim mica
#

How can you hide your IP with DNS?

In terms of grief.. don't share it publicly and talk to people to gauge their personality before you allow them to join. Saves get to take a long time in late game and doing it frequently will just result in a bad player experience

Hey, im hosting a server for my friends. And i would like to up the player slot, but i cant find the game.ini file, it is not located where it says in the %localappdata%\FactoryGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Game.ini, , im using the server downloaded with steamcmd , windows 10. Anyone know where it can be?

Can I stop the automatic server restart?

question: I made a dedicated server on my own linux box, I am able to connect and run around and do things. but im trying to increase player count and my GameUserSettings.ini does not exist in ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer

#

did the location move?

#

or can I just make the file and a add the options

pastel bridge

download save button right next to upload save. id use it often.

#

please and thank you

#

hi

quiet quarry
#

@hidden rock yeah i figured that would be the way to do it, tnx for confirming! Hope future updates will bring more options like permissions etc 🙂

bright night
#

is there a way to change spawn locations for any player in on server or do those always respawn at the hub when they die ?

snow solar
#

Helloooo, i am just about to start a server and i just started to wonder, is there any diffrence in preformance/reliabillity/usabillity (as a server owner) between the linux and the windows version? What is most common and "best"? 😄

small light
#

why cant the serverfiles be in the same location, i hate this new trend with the dedicated servers of new games, making it save all around 😛

quiet prawn
#

How do I change session type to friends only? It wont save and remains private so I cant invite anyone

thorny valve
#

Is Steamworks the middle man for dedi servers? I can't connect to it because Steamworks is not working 😦 Bit annoying if my server is literally 3 meters away

late coral
snow solar
late coral
#

define "easier" 😉

#

for me setting up on Linux is the easier option

snow solar
#

haha true 😛

late coral
#

Depends on how much experience you have with either

snow solar
#

Yeah, i have more experience with windows but i have several debian VM's running so i could set it up as an linux to.
But it also feels like if i go with an headless linux i don't have to think about the OS taking some precious compute power 😛

late coral
#

I'd add another Linux VM and go for less overhead in your case

snow solar
#

Sounds good! 🙂 Thankls.

late coral
#

I have my Dedi running in a Linux VM, with ProxmoxVE as hypervisor

snow solar
#

How much cpu and ram do you dedicate? Im running ESXI but i have two diffrent computers so i am not sure witch of them to use for this.

late coral
#

Also setup as a service, so it restarts after a crash

#

16G should be enough

snow solar
#

Cool, does corecount count?

late coral
#

4 cores is plenty

#

2 would be enough, 4 gives a bit more flex

snow solar
#

Yeah. i think my mainserver has 2x16cores so i think i have enough haha, but the other computer has more ram...

#

but ddr3 inst of ddr4..

late coral
#

Also note that the Dedi prefers high single core performance

snow solar
#

Yeah, my main has 4something ghz and the secondary 3.something..

late coral
#

better to run with higher CPU performance

snow solar
#

Yeah. 16 gig ram is no issue on any of them.,

late coral
#

And run from a SSD

snow solar
#

Well, that will be a problem. The only storage is NFS shares 😛

late coral
#

especially late game, world serialization will cause noticable delay

snow solar
#

Maybe i can do some ram-disk solution..

#

good info.

late coral
#

as long as the NFS share can do over 300M/s don't worry about it

snow solar
#

I have never speedtested it actually 😮

late coral
#

I have a fairly build up world, and my save is 5Mbyte currently

snow solar
#

Im not planning on having many players on it, just me and maybe one or two friends.. But that might not matter?

late coral
#

up to 4 is what's designed for, so that's not an issue

snow solar
#

Cool

#

Mainly to have the server running without me needing to have my computer on 24/7 😛

late coral
#

Some contect creator had hundreds running around, with only minor issues (mostly a spawning problem inside the Hub)

snow solar
#

Yeah i saw that video i think!

late coral
#

Same here, we have the server running, and not pause, so when you need some elevator items build it does so overnight

snow solar
#

Yeah exactly!

late coral
#

Also sinking all overflow for tickets

snow solar
#

Yeah i need to figure out some kind of system for that also haha

#

My plan is to have a reallu high building with one flor per item... Feels most logical for me haha

late coral
#

There is no wrong way to play the game

snow solar
#

True

late coral
#

also be aware, that when you build a belt, pipe or railway track, during an autosave, you may end up with a "pseudo" connection, it appears right, but it's not

snow solar
#

Oh

#

How do i check if it is correct?

#

just see if it forwards stuff?

late coral
#

yup

#

railways you better test-drive, you abruptly stop at the pseudo connection

#

belts, check if items are forwarded, same for pipes, check the fluid flow

#

it's a known bug, and they are working on it

snow solar
#

Haha i have tried railways before, was not satisfied with how they worked :p maybe was in an old update.

#

Cool

late coral
#

railways have signals now

snow solar
#

Ah cool

late coral
#

Also, no mods on Dedi yet, modding community is working on it so that will come "Soon™️"

snow solar
#

Yeah haha, i saw that in their discord.. 😛 I glad if i just could have "creative mode" or something...

late coral
#

Really want to use SMART and Micromanage again

#

basicly build in 5 minutes what takes me hours without

vocal jungle
#

you can have creative mode

jaunty trail
#

If I run a dedicated server, and nobody is joined, will it still be generating resources?

#

and tickets?

tender pecan
#

That's usually an option you can tick off wether or not you want it to run 24/7 or only when someone is on

spice drift
#

anyone also has the problem, that the programmable splitters are buggy?

tender pecan
spice drift
# tender pecan How so?

when i try to add multiple items to one line and i close the menu of the splitter and go back in the items are moved to f. e. left

tender pecan
#

Hmm I've never had that specifically happen, try adding one item at a time, closing the menu, brining it back up, and then adding one more and repeating the process. I had a bug where only 1 item at a time could be set and I'm curious if maybe that's the same way

spice drift
tender pecan
#

Yeah I got no clue. Programmable splitters just seem extremely buggy in every case I've used them before anyway, regardless of dedicated server or not. If your not the host maybe having the host set it may do something different? If not someone else would have to help you, and also I'd suggest making a bug report on the official website

frosty gale
#

I found that a programmable splitter caused crashes on my server, so I had to forbid using it

#

It reliably causes crash after about a minute of being used

#

Have you had any similiar experience?

late coral
#

On my Dedi I can only use the programmable splitter by setting the items for center, and overflowing to left or right

#

And when programming: set an item, exit the splitter interface, then next item

fervent carbon
#

how often does the server automatically restart?

quick mist
#

every 24h

fervent carbon
#

I see, I didn't have it occur when me and my friends were playing a lot one day (from like 7pm to 7am)

#

but today at around 3 am it restarted on its own

quick mist
#

generally when you start the server, it will self-restart every 24h from that time

fervent carbon
#

sounds plausible

#

doubt I have restarted it since that night though

#

but thanks for your help, that's good to know

quick mist
#

cheers

late coral
#

I'm running the Dedi as a service, and forcing it to restart every day at a set time, this also triggers the pre-start conditions (steamcmd update check).

#

I am currently trying to run the server on the Oracle ARM Server. The server is running, but it crashes. I am not sure what the reason for the crash is though.

Has anyone any experience with getting this server to run in an ARM environment (or maybe with this specific error message?)?

Hi, i tried to update my server trough steamcmd, it says it's updated but when i launch the game, on my server tab, it's says there a mismatch, my game is higher than the server is :/

#

How do i proceed to force install ?

tawny gyro
#

simply include in your configuration.nix, rebuild and start playing :3

crisp garnet
tawny gyro
#

Doesn't the server get distributed in compiled binary format? Is steam shipping multiple architectures?

crisp garnet
#

No, but you can run steamcmd with box86 and the server itself with box64. Works pretty well for some games (e.g. Valheim).

Would anyone have prior experience with Azure Container deployed Satisfactory Server? In an effort to get a little experience with Docker and Azure Containers (my work has a project coming up where we are migrating things to some docker deployments) I decided to try my hand at deploying a server. I am running with /didstopia/satisfactory-server. I Have the instance running with 2 CPUs and 8GB RAM, there are two volumes that appear to be properly mapped. It all appears to be working correctly except I cannot see the server as available in the client.

lament pollen
#

Nevermind, I think I figured it out. I had not set the ports exposed as UDP. I bet they are exposed as TCP by default.

karmic merlin
#

hi, quick question. Which Port do i need to provide to my friends to join the game? is it 25004 or is this port just for me?

lament pollen
#

For mine it was 7777.

#

That is the Game port. Beacon port was 15000 and Server Query poort was 15777

karmic merlin
#

ok thanks, then we have to try, I've rented the server and am not 100% sure which port to use

lament pollen
#

If the game is like other games you can add a game connection directly using that port. When adding a server in the client though, use 15777 (the Query Port)

#

Looks like 15777 is default

timber goblet
#

is anyone with a dedicated server able to get a reply from the query port?

#

like with telnet

timber goblet
#

I'll add some info: the server is running fine, people can join from outside via ddns address. But I want to monitor if the server is running with uptimerobot. Thus, I want to monitor it via the query port. Strange thing is, the monitor has a timeout when trying to reach the query port (traceroute ends at my public IP). Now if the port wouldn't be reachable from the outside, others should not be able to join my server, so I am not quite sure what's wrong here.

sour yoke
#

Few things if uptimerobot is running in your LAN you could have issue with Hairpinning or NAT Loopback which is needed for this to properly route.

If the server that is running uptimerobot is external to your LAN. Your Router/Firewall migth be setup to ignore ICMP requests. Assuming that is what this program is doing I am not familiar with it.

Are multiplayer/dedicated server games constrained to only start at Tier 2? Can they not allow you to start at the very beginning?

#

I got a working Dedicated Server running even on ipv6 which I have enabled for my system and network its same response

#

I also believe that telnet is TCP however 15777 is running UDP protocol

timber goblet
#

thank you! seems to be a general issue then.

#

you are right with telnet only checking tcp protocol. my guess is that uptimerobot does the same. i check if it is possible to monitor udp with it.

rugged lark
#

you should use netcat for that purpose

Hello everyone,
I use the Epic version of the dedicated server, and it seems to be on experimental branch by default.
How do i change it to early access ?
Should I use the Steam version instead ?
Thanks

timber goblet
#

use "-beta public"

forest condor
#

I read that but this command is for an installation with SteamCMD
I'm using the Epic version of the server

#

I fixed the issue by switching to the steam version, but I'm still interested to know how to do it with Epic...

Hi everyone. It looks like my dedicated server updated itself to the experimental version after I did a restart (Epic). Now everyone can only play on that server with experimental client. Was there a way to prevent it from updating? It seem that it just did it all on it's own.

late coral
#

with SteamCMD you can choose which branch you want by choosing to add or remove the command line option "-beta experimental"

#

More to the subject in the wiki

I only own the game on Epic though. Is SteamCMD available?

Yes, no need to own the game on Steam. I have the game on Epic too but operate server with SteamCMD.

power isnt really a concern of mine, pretty cheap here

fossil stump
#

Not that expensive here, but the cheaper I can make it the better, it will literally pay for itself in the long run. And that one and my NAS are so quiet you can stand next to them and barely tell they're even on.

#

And the NAS currently has 14 spinning disks in it

echo marlin
#

nice

#

how will it pay for itself though thinking_helmet

strong storm
#

how can I check my server's NetworkQuality?

fossil stump
#

Money I've spent on the hardware will save me money on power

#

@strong storm network quality?

echo marlin
strong storm
#

I want to see what is the current value of my server's FG.NetworkQuality

#

I have around 15 tick rate, even when nobody's in the game, with 3 players it drops to around 8, we're suffering from weird lags

fossil stump
#

What's the specs of your server?

echo marlin
#

probably more cpu-related than network

strong storm
#

I was wondering if changing the FG.NetworkQuality will help

fossil stump
#

Doubtful

strong storm
fossil stump
#

Satisfactory is largely single threaded, 1.8GHz ain't exactly screaming single threaded performance...

echo marlin
#

yeah that might be tough

strong storm
#

😦

#

best CPU I could get is E5-2470, do you think it will be worth it?

echo marlin
#

thatd be better certainly but its still on quite an old architecture

fossil stump
#

@strong storm as I said it's largely single threaded, less core count tends to have higher clocks

#

e5-2440 is 2.4GHz base.

#

that would probably do better.

#

what server is it?

strong storm
#

it's HP DL380e G8

#

According to the spec on HPE, the E5-2440 is "base" cpu, the one I have is "performance". So you say that "base" is better than performance?

fossil stump
#

you can put e5 v2 cpu's in there.

#

HP's specs are worthless tbh

#

because "performance" is a nebulous term

#

your CPU's would probably be great as a database server or something else multithreaded, but for single thread performance they're not so crash hot

echo marlin
#

if you can put v2's in there, I have a pair of 2643 v2's in mine, runs satisfactory pretty well

#

can get them on ebay pretty cheap

fossil stump
#

E5-2430v2 will get you 2.5GHz base clock with 3.0GHz boost, it's also a slightly newer architecture

fossil stump
echo marlin
#

weird

#

love these chips. run so much stuff on this server

strong storm
#

hm, the E5-2430v2 has only 6 cores, I'm running other services on this host aside of satisfactory. Do you think I could give E5-2470 v2 a try? it's 2.4 GHz, but comes with 10 cores

echo marlin
#

generally as Lemming said, high core count means low frequency

#

and with satisfactory you want high frequency

#

what are you running on it shalak?

fossil stump
#

if you're running it as a VM host, the number of cores is actually kind of irrelevant, as the number of virtual cores doesn't have to equate to the number of physical cores/threads.

strong storm
#

so maybe E5-2450 v2? it also hav 2.5GHz and 8 cores

strong storm
fossil stump
#

nope

strong storm
#

*vt-x

fossil stump
#

telling a VM that you have 50 cores when you have 10 won't end well, but so long as you're not running anything that's pegging the CPU, over provisioning cores won't hurt you.

#

also you said you've got 8 cores assigned to satisfactory, pretty sure if you were to check you'd find 7 of them are doing SFA.

#

admittedly mines only got me playing on it, but it's got a whopping 2 cores assigned to it, and it runs fine.

strong storm
#

SFA? what do you mean?

fossil stump
#

Sweet F All

echo marlin
#

kek

#

only ever uses up to like 3 at a time

strong storm
#

Hmm, I see that there are dl380's with E5-2643v2 on the market

echo marlin
#

(ignore the memory thing, bug in htop with lxc's)

#

actually lmao ignore that. I forgot I recently restarted the server and I dont have satisfactory running as a service yet

fossil stump
#

htop on mine:

unknown.png
#

I'm actively playing atm as well, so that's with a player logged in

echo marlin
#

just started it, it uses 3ish cores on startup with good usage

fossil stump
#

does a reverse image search so he can find @echo marlin's imgur username :-P

echo marlin
#

I dont think youll find much there lol

fossil stump
#

heh

echo marlin
#

kinda want to set up my own image host that sharex dumps images to, instead of imgur

fossil stump
#

there's a few posts from me on there, even a few that have hit front page, but my nick is slightly different on there 😛

#

setup a nextcloud server and do it that way

echo marlin
#

yeah I have one

fossil stump
#

there's a native uploader for sharex

echo marlin
#

wait really

fossil stump
echo marlin
#

I dunno if I want public images talking to my nextcloud instance though lol

strong storm
#

it's doesn't look exhausted, but tickrate is still low :/ No players currently in game, but the game is not paused

unknown.png
fossil stump
#

look at your load averages

strong storm
echo marlin
#

nearly 3 threads are pinned at 100% usage all the time

#

you run all those on the same vm?

echo marlin
strong storm
strong storm
#

with valheim I never had any issues, 4 players and no lag at all

echo marlin
#

potentially too much. satisfactory is a different beast from valheim. nearly every computational task is done on the main thread

echo marlin
strong storm
#

hmmm, should I go with separate VM then? I was thinking that giving it more cores will have the same result as a dedicated VM 🤔

echo marlin
#

ideally you split them up a bit yeah. I run proxmox myself, and that allows me to easily run LXC's, linux containers

fossil stump
#

like I keep saying, I don't think core count is your issue

echo marlin
#

I use 1 container for each thing I run.

fossil stump
echo marlin
strong storm
#

yeah, I keep hearing that I should rework my setup into LXC's

#

but docker containers are so simple to use...

echo marlin
#

docker's quite nice too

#

its just a lot easier and less overhead with LXC's under proxmox

strong storm
#

I'm running proxmox as well

echo marlin
#

granted, you could run docker on an LXC too

strong storm
#

I've heard about this approach, I don't recall now, but there were some issues

#

i believe with networking, and I'm using macvlan quite extensively

#

with weird inter-connections, e.g. with with satisfactory, I have syslog-ng runing, that read's satisfactory's logs (and calls a discord webhook when someone joins the game)

#

Thanks you guys for all the tips. I guess I'll look for E5-2643v2 and try it out in near future

@steel scarab have you followed the wiki page, because that has literally everything you need to know.

#

have you read the wiki page?

#

ok, what step are you stuck at?

#

and what happens when you try?

steel scarab
#

i can't really figure out what command to run to open it

fossil stump
#

it's in the wiki page....

steel scarab
#

ok, nevermind

#

I must be doing something wrong then

#

I'll ask elsewhere, sorry for wasting your time

fossil stump
#

what command are you trying?

steel scarab
#

./FactoryServer.sh

fossil stump
#

have you made sure you're in the directory where it's installed?

echo marlin
#

what happens when you type that in

#

help us help you lol

fossil stump
#

type "pwd" and hit enter, what does it return?

steel scarab
#

it says "no such file or directory"

echo marlin
#

then youre not in the right directory

#

if you type ls it should tell you what files/folders are in there

#

and as Lemming said, pwd will tell you what directory you're in

steel scarab
#

got it, i think i found it now

#

I should have waited like 5 more minutes before asking, I found it now

#

my introduction to Linux many aeons ago was running a "Smoothwall" software router so my housemate and I could share an internet connection...

#

a whopping 512Kbit ADSL with an 80GB/month download limit....

echo marlin

smoothwall

#

thats a name Ive not heard in a long time

fossil stump
#

now I work for a multi-billion dollar company as a Systems Engineer and Incident Response specialist 😛

echo marlin

heck yeah

fossil stump
#

also... I just looked up smoothwall for the first time in a LONG time... amazingly it still exists.

echo marlin
#

used to run "dd-wrt" on old linksys routers

#

those were the days

#

then pfsense, then got a "edgerouter" from ubiquiti

#

now I just use ATTs nonsense cause I kinda dont care anymore lmao

fossil stump

my smoothwall days predate the WRT54G from whence dd-wrt gets it's name 😛

echo marlin

though its 50/50 dont care but also kinda cant. they dont have a proper bridge mode on the newer ones

dull berry
#

Are dedicated servers free or paid?

fossil stump
#

@dull berry there are places where you can rent dedicated servers, but the software itself is free, you can run your own server for naught.

dull berry
fossil stump
#

I'm not sure what you mean?

dull berry
#

( because if it's exactly the same thing I don't understand the principle of buying a server on a dedicated place)

fossil stump
#

the principle is you pay to use someone elses hardware, internet connection and generally they maintain the software for you.

#

it also means it's easier to share with others as you generally don't have to do port forwards and the like.

#

the game server software that you run upon said hardware, is identical though.

dull berry
#

Yes I understand this principle but if I don't do it, won't I get lag? Can my pc support hosting a game?

fossil stump
#

how fast is your PC? it might be able to do it, it might not, there's no easy answer to that question.

#

As for lag that's more a case of how far from the server you are, if it's in the same city as you, no you won't, if it's on another continent, you definitely will.

dull berry
#

I am French, is there a possibility that there is a server not too far from me?

#

As far as the speed of my PC is concerned, I'm not too sure

#

I'm afraid that if I launch the server, the server will be unplayable because of latencies, lags, etc., or that my friends will not be able to join it

fossil stump
#

if you launch it, you will need to do port forwards o your router, lag and latency will come down to how fast your PC is, and how far away your friends are.

#

I'm not going to reccomend a company, as I don't know who is good and bad, but if you google "rent satisfactory dedicated" you can find plenty of companies who host them

#

I'd make sure whoever you go with is in europe.

dull berry
#

I'm not sure what you mean by "you will need to do port forwards o your router,"

fossil stump
dull berry
#

Personally I would prefer something free, that's why I ask, I'm poor

fossil stump
#

if you don't know how to do it, I'd suggest you stick to renting a dedicated server.

dull berry
#

Not very reassuring 😭

fossil stump
#

running your own dedicated is not as simple as playing the game, if you want to spend the time learning to do it there are plenty of resources out there on how to do so, but otherwise your best option is to rent a server 🤷‍♂️

dull berry
#

Ok I understand, thanks for your answers 🙂

Satisfactory multiplayer is so frustrating and weird. No player join messages, no player leave messages, no list of active players, no chat log. Seems like such basic functions to have in multiplayer but nooope not here.

#

Nameless logged-off players sitting everywhere, no idea who any of them are. Can't move them if they are in the way of building, can't use admin mode to puppet-walk them out of the way, nope the only way to move them is killing them so they respawn. ...really?

#

Also .. multiplayer with no antigrief controls. Can't ban people AFAIK, steam is not functional so can't ban by steam ID, no construct or deconstruct logging, no "built by player X" info on built objects.

#

I am scared to death opening my test server to the world because if it is griefed I have no way to know.

twilit fox
#

No it's kind of like regular multiplayer on satis right now.. you have to be careful who you allow to join your server and whatnot

#

@vivid parrot Most of the stuff you mention will most likely come once the game goes out of Early Access. For now it works with just the basics. Not recommended to publicly share your server if you value your builds as there is no protection at all atm.

#

Just curious if I'm able to recover or not: I recently had a critical problem on my gaming system that forced me to reinstall suddenly, after getting everything set and loading up Satisfactory, I connected to my dedicated server session and my old avatar is there, but I'm starting fresh. Is there a way to get me back into my old player? I had some things in my inventory I'd rather not lose in this save.

You can kill the sitting avatar, the items from the inventory will drop in a crate.

No, smells corrupted save files or game files if anything.
index out of bounds isnt a "normal" error since bounds checking is usually done beforehand or is known at all times.

I thought of ram cause it says "invalid attempt to write memory at address ..."

So, I'm having issues connecting to the DS from the Internet. The game works locally (can connect via LAN), and I picked ports 15010 and 15011 (since it'll already take 15000 by force) to forward. But... it doesn't seem to even show up. I used the exact same setup I've used for ARK, DnL, Conan, 7D2D, Memories of Mars, Atlas... and where every other DS works, Satisfactory doesn't seem to. Is there something I'm missing?

#

From what I can see in the logs, the two "most outstanding" items are: it's failing to connect to STEAM, and it's failing to determine NAT type.

sonic inlet
#

I have those errors and it works fine for me

sonic inlet
#

so I assume u can run it on fairly low end hardware

rancid tusk

I have no idea if the server requires some x86 extensions that aren't in the earlier gen cpus but it should be powerful enough

I am running a Dedicated Server. We need 1-2 more players who are skilled in the game. We are on final tier and are getting into the big builds aka the fun stuff. If interested send me a message.

Yeah, it idles at 5.6 GB for me (with stuff already built in several locations).

rancid tusk
#

I need more ram for it so that’s why I was wondering

blazing halo

Well, it doesn't seem to baloon out of proportion like some of the other MP servers I've hosted (*khem*ARK*khem*).

rancid tusk
#

Cough(Minecraft with over 500 mods)cough

blazing halo
#

(though I suppose half of the blame is on the mods)

#

I'm thinking it should start up even if you're below the minimum RAM (haven't tried, but doesn't sound dumb). Might swap a lot though.

#

Still, getting RAM for that platform shouldn't be an issue - DDR2 and DDR3 shouldn't be insanely priced.

rancid tusk
#

It’s not that old lol

#

It’s ddr3

blazing halo
#

It is 2008. ;)

#

(or 2010, depending on which "1st gen" we're talking about, as you didn't provide any specs)

#

So either 12 or 14 years old... ;] Old enough to go on school vacation.

rancid tusk
blazing halo
#

Should be fine, I think. I haven't looked at hard-load performance data, but I haven't seen it load my CPU down much at all.

#

What's the load you're expecting on this guy?

rancid tusk
#

Plus a few mods

#

About 15

blazing halo
#

So, heavy load, then? xD

#

(4 people is the max)

#

Also, mods work on the DS?

rancid tusk
#

Idk about the mods but i think they do

blazing halo
#

Latest word I can find is Nov 21st, 2021, stating no mod support in the DS.

#

Has that changed?

rancid tusk
blazing halo
#

Okay, so the up-to-date version from April 9th, is "not currently possible".

#

The tl;dr is that the code is there, but the tools are not, so while it's theoretically possible to have mods, it's currently impossible to launch the game with them. Or at least, that's what I gathered from the writeup.

#

Verbatim:

if the server doesn't need SSE extensions then it should run, though I'm unable to test

#

the server seems fairly optimized

sonic inlet
stoic notch
sonic inlet
#

makes sense

blazing halo
#

Just left it running and went to make dinner.

#

Hm, so it looks like the DS will load mods, but it's failing to do it because the damn mods all come as .dll files (which Linux doesn't recognise, not should it).

#

Well, either that - or depend on SML, which does.

sonic inlet
#

yeah, they all seem to be *.so on linux

#

guessing you'd need specific linux builds or a mod loader for linux that loads dlls

#

orrr unless the devs support it

blazing halo
# rancid tusk K

You know, it might be possible that someone does have a DS with mods, but they'd probably need to be running it under Windows - or it's the whole "shared" play.

blazing halo
#

The mods would need to ship with Win64 and Linux binaries by default.

sonic inlet
#

No idea if the mod loader(s?) are community based or made by the devs, but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to implement one

blazing halo
#

Community-based. And they're "working on it, just don't ask for ETAs".

sonic inlet
#

yeah fair enough, I don't think they would ever do it since they'd need to always update the api for the mod loader, etc, etc

Guys out there who have Network issues disconnections who have big saves greater than 30 secs, we were making the mistake by adding the timeout code lines at the very bottom, it is not suppose to go there to make it work it has to go just below the IpNetDriver, shown below, this also has to be added in the client (your game) Engine.ini file exactly the same and exactly the same place.

Now the Network Timeout is set to 60 secs as supposed to the default 30 secs, that is if the save ever goes over the 30 sec default mark.

Hope this helps people out there with our same issue

Hey Team, I was wondering if anyone could provide some advice on the server side, I have setup a server to play with friends and I keep running into an issue when I try to send them an invite code to the server.

It Says the session type is private, so I change it to friends only, then try to show the SessionID and it says "invalidSession"

I can navigate away from there and come back and it has reverted to Private and still persists with the "invalidSession" in the ID.

I have tried connecting to the server via local/public IP's, and domain, all the same, and my router is setup correctly with the 3 ports forwarded.

Does anyone have any advice?

Looks like I might need a little help with the tick rate on my server. Been running Satisfactory server for about a week and playing on it with a new save. Tonight, I decided to load my personal local save to the server with 385 hours on it and at tier 8.

Specs:
Dell R610: 2x X5570 2.93GHz
Hypervisor OS: Proxmox
VM type: QEMV KVM using Nehalem Processor options
VM OS: Ubuntu 20.04
VM vCPUs: 4
VM Memory: 16GB
Storge NFS VIA 10GB Fiber

I'm seeing ticks rates between 9 and 13. Not all artifacts are loading and my trains are rubberbanding pretty bad. Besides replacing hardware, is there anything we can do to increase the performance here? I do see one core get maxed out, and betting that is every 5 minutes for the save. otherwise, all 4 cores are pretty even. When the one core goes to 100% the other go idle, making me feel that is the saving.

Question I’m switching pcs soon will my sever still work?

visual ridge
#

souh... i failed to run the dedicated server - as in, it just shut down for some reason. So i ran an ingame server instead, witch suddenly rewinded to a save, 14 hours earlier than the last save (thank god for backups).

However. I followed all guides i could about allowing more than 4 players, like editing the game.ini with a little scripting part. Didnt work tho. Does anyone have a complete, confirmed, tested method of allowing more than 4 players, and saving more than 3 autosaves, for version 5?

crystal eagle

im running a dedicated server by low.ms.... is something wrong with the installation or is it a multiplayer bug?
Trains as well as Trainstation are shown on the wrong spot on the map when they are out of range.

I had the issue with our dedi server where we solved the issue then not even a few hours later we had trains stuck or even crash but now I can say that we have quite a few roundabouts even two trains use them at the same time if they have different routes, another thing we’ve had the server running since the latest patch things are running smoothly

crystal eagle
# daring vapor I am not sure exactly how this is supposed to work but my friends arent able to ...

Ok so lets say you have forwarded the ports so everything should be working right, it is not your friends that cannot find your server you have to give them the ip address, the way to find the ip to be able to connect is Google 'what is my ip' that ip is the one you should give out, just make sure you create an admin password you can connect as admin(not that there is any admin commands atm) and create a password for your friend to connect which is convenient just in case, you know 😉

Do you use trucks in that save? We had that problem because of a glitched truck. I fixed it being opening the save in singleplayer and stopping all active routes and i found a truck that was stuck and somehow in 'recording'-mode. Stopped that as well, put the save on the server -> connecting worked again.
The problem itself was, that the server crashed whenever the game actually started calculating stuff (means, when a player joined and the game when from paused to running)

anyone had luck moving their dedicated server from one machine to another without losing the save?

Should be easy to just copy the .sav file across as if you uploaded from your local save

thats what I thought too but struggling to find the save location on the new machine as they aren't matching up... I will keep working on it

#

Linux or windows?

gaunt knoll
#

Windows to Windows

#

I found my original save in the app data folder but when I moved that folder the new server didn't pick it up

#

so then I tried creating the new server and save on the new machine but the save wasn't in the same place..

#

I may have it figured out now though

crystal eagle
#

I haven’t tried from windows to windows but logic tells me that you have to start a fresh game, quit then copy and paste your save into the created save folder in appdata

do the dedicated servers have a max limit to how many people can be in it

timber goblet
#

as my savegame is increasing in size (7mb currently), my server isn't running so well anymore. also saving takes longer the bigger my save grows. could this be mitigated with better hardware? currently i am running on an Core i5 6500 3,20 GHz with 20GB ram. the CPU load is averaging at 50%

crystal eagle
#

@timber goblet What do you mean by 'my server isn't running so well anymore'? is it lagging? low FPS in certain areas?

crystal eagle
timber goblet
#

sometimes it is lagging slightly, but the clients fps are still 100+ so i am guessing the issue is on server side.
but what is more annoying is that each time the game is saved it takes about 30s and this is increasing. also joining the server can take up to 2min.
the server is running on an ssd, also i cant see that the drive is under heavy load.

crystal eagle
#

nvm that remark Satisfactory only uses 1 core anyway

timber goblet
#

yes, it is a 4 core

crystal eagle
#

if you don't mind me asking, why 20 gb ram? I assumed the motherboard is dual channel?

#

DDR 3 ram?

crystal eagle
#

It should be either 16gb or 32gb

timber goblet
#

it is ddr4 ram. i use a 16gb and a 4gb stick.
since they are not the same size, the channels are working in flex mode, meaning that only 4gb run in dualchannel mode.

crystal eagle
#

Ouch that is hurting your system

#

i.e the server

#

try using only

#

the 16gb stick on its own see how it goes

timber goblet
#

sorry, i don't see a commonality with this to my issue.
mixed channel is supported by the mainboard and thus should not create any issues.
i agree to not do this on a gaming machine, but for a server it is totally fine.

fervent carbon
#

Are you connected through LAN or WAN?

#

I have some lagginess whenever my ping spikes high

#

The save issue could probably be helped by increasing the auto save intervals, albeit would still have the issue occur; just less frequently

timber goblet
#

i am connected trough lan with 2ms, three friends of mine connecting trough wan with an average ping of 20ms. I couldn't see any spikes in latency when i was monitoring it.
we already increased the auto save interval, but it is still annoying, thus i am searching for something i can improve.

#

after digging around in this thread i guess my only option is to increase the single core performance.
world serialization takes 28s for our save..

When the world serialisation goes over the default 30 secs you’ll have a Network Error issue, I know well cos I had that issue but there is a temp fix till coffeestain optimise the save system on dedicated servers, I’ll add a picture what you need to do if you encounter the network error issue, just add what it’s in the red box in engine.ini in the dedicated server also all the clients connecting to it have to do the same

steamcmd is basically a wrapper to manage the updates for the dedicated server

#

so when you type steamcmd.exe with all those parameters, it tells it to update and launch

#

but when you type factoryserver.exe, you only launch the game exactly as it is without checking for updates

#

okay I understand that. just replacing versions numbers trying this again

#

But i don't need the location for the game file I just want it to update in the common folder its already in

one of the parameters for the steamcmd is +force_install_dir, that tells it where the game is installed

Is tick rate tied to the hardware, or can it be raised? Also, does it even need touching, if all is well? I notice that if there's a dip, the first thing that is very obviously affected is the tube system (specifically, the access ports).

#

So: is there a benefit to increasing the tick rate (if it's "30 average"), is there a way to do so, and is there a way to fix "hiccups" beyond getting beefier hardware?

Is the graphical glitches with conveyer belts just something we have to deal with on dedicated servers for now or is there any type of fix? Talking about invisible belts, but mostly when two sections meet there is some type of weird pause.

Launch command: FactoryServer.sh -multihome=10.0.1.22 -ServerQueryPort=15010 -Port=15011 -⁠BeaconPort=15000 2>&1, ports forwarded via -m mark --mark 0xd111 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -p udp -m multiport --dports 15000:15015 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.1.22, and yet... nothing. Any ideas?

Mark 0xd111 is -i port1 -m addrtype --dst-type LOCAL -p udp -j MARK --set-mark 0xd111 -m comment --comment "0xd111 = forwarded from WAN"

#

I use the exact same setup for every other game I host (different ports, obviously), and everything else has no problem showing up in browsers, connecting etc. Only Satisfactory returns with either a "TIMED OUT" or outright "This server does not appear to be online".

#

Not even via NAT hairpinning, so I have to assume it's doing something differently.

#

(it works fine on those ports via LAN)

#

I can nc -u -l {port} through the entire range, and then connect to them all through LAN, NAT hairpin, and from an external machine. And yet, Satisfactory doesn't seem to work.

#

What more can I do to debug this? I obviously won't enable full packet logging, as that would bury me under meaningless noise in an instant.

#

I've also made sure that Satisfactory isn't actually opening some TCP ports, but netcat seems to firmly state that it's not the case.

#

Perhaps it internally "reserves" the entire 15xxx range for those auto-increments, and I'd need to use eg. 16010/16011?

#

I'm open to suggestions.

#

I've moved from 15010/15011 to 20000/20001. Same issue - the server appears, but it can't be connected to.

The first sign that there's something going wrong I get (in the server logs) is this: LogDTLSHandler: Warning: Empty certificate identifier. After that I get a number of repeats of LogDTLSHandler: Warning: Ignoring handshake packet received after completion., and finally:

[2022.04.30-23.29.33:988][236]LogNet: Warning: UNetConnection::Tick: Connection TIMED OUT. Closing connection..

#

So it basically looks like the replies from the server are not getting back to the client, somehow. But conntrack should keep track of that, and I don't see why it wouldn't.

At the very least - I can 100% confirm that, as far as straightforward connection (tested via netcat) is concerned, the ports are wide open and pointing at the right machine...

#

Also, does anyone have the protocol spec for getting info from the server? Stuff like the avg ticks, players, stage etc. Might be useful to construct a graph or two.

I'm having the same issues

After the latest update my server has from doing the save sequence from 32secs down to 20secs! Has anybody seen this happen to their server, don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining just an observation

Total save time for me: 30.963 sec (11.661kb), so skratching the timeout

crystal eagle
#

Yes it is but there is a work around so you don't have the timeout error

#

Paste what is in the red border in your server and client Engine.ini and you'll be Network Error free

All players connecting have to do the same

#

well, is there a way to change the folder where the save from DS is stored?

#

Why you want to do that?
