#

I'll verify and see if the issue persists. Additional information I can provide is that the server isn't locally hosted, its hosted via a hosting service

#

Yeah, even after verifying the issue still persisted

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 2:57 PM

#

Then yeah, we'd need to some sort of log or crash report.

#

(though unless it's a local issue - which I'm hoping it is - we won't be able to help out much)

#

I assume you can set up a local game just fine?

naive flicker Jun 4, 2022, 2:59 PM

#

Yeah, I can setup a new game, and load saves just fine

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:00 PM

#

Have you tried loading the local save on the server? If I recall, you should be able to set the name, session, and both passwords locally too? Though I'm not sure about that. It's worth trying.

#

(any word on that crash log/report?)

#

Ah, you may need to pass on ServerSettings.{PortNumber} file for these to transfer. Not sure if they're created on the client, never tried.

#

heres the crash report

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:06 PM

#

Oh wow, yeah, that's clearly a bug in the client code. Are you sure the server is up-to-date?

naive flicker Jun 4, 2022, 3:06 PM

#

That I'm not 100% on, I haven't found a way to check yet

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:12 PM

#

The reason for the crash, as given, is Assertion failed: ServerSubsystem [File:(...)/Server/FGServerBeaconClient.cpp] [Line: 655]. This basically means that the game expected some value or condition to be one way, but it was actually something else, and the result was basically an "I don't understand the current situation and cannot continue."

#

(an assertion is basically the programmer telling the computer "at this point, the state of the program should be this", and if it isn't - the assertion fails)

#

The failed assertion is in FGServerBeaconClient.cpp, so it clearly has something to do with communicating with the server specifically, and specifically not the in-game channel, but rather the info/admin channel.

#

Bottom line: if the server is up-to-date and its server files are 100% OK, you seem to have stumbled on a bug.

naive flicker Jun 4, 2022, 3:17 PM

#

Guess I just have to wait for the host support team to wake up

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

Another good argument towards self-hosting, where possible. :)

naive flicker Jun 4, 2022, 3:19 PM

#

I would but I don't have the hardware to host 24/7 😔

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:21 PM

#

Understandable.

#

I did say "where possible".

turbid skiff Jun 4, 2022, 3:21 PM

#

I'm surprised hosting on my windows box, it doesn't use too much CPU and only like 6GB RAM max, pretty stable and just some minor bugs

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

True, the server doesn't really use too much during normal operation. It's when it's saving the game that you want maximum performance.

#

(I've already seen people having issues due to disconnects when it takes a little too long on that, and every additional building/structure makes it worse with no way to resolve it)

turbid skiff Jun 4, 2022, 3:23 PM

#

oh right I heard people say they wish saving were smoother, but dedicated is very beta still

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:24 PM

#

If CSS could recode connection upkeep or move either off to a separate thread that doesn't rely on the main ticker, it would likely resolve the timeout issue at least.

#

(though it's obviously a nontrivial problem, on either side of the equation)

desert walrus Jun 4, 2022, 3:27 PM

#

blazing halo If CSS could recode connection upkeep or move *either* off to a separate thread ...

The reason that saving freezes the game is to prevent item dupes

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:27 PM

#

desert walrus The reason that saving freezes the game is to prevent item dupes

I don't mind the occasional bounceback, but the game could do better connection upkeep so that the client doesn't time out when this happens.

desert walrus Jun 4, 2022, 3:28 PM

#

Yes, for sure

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:28 PM

#

A simple "Hey, we're still here, just saving the game, sit tight" packet would do.

desert walrus Jun 4, 2022, 3:29 PM

#

Definitely, but I'm sure that there's some sort of complication, otherwise it probably would've been resolved

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:30 PM

#

I'm not sure. This isn't obvious if you haven't done this before, and the engine might not have a privision for doing something like this while the main ticker is roped down by the save process.

desert walrus Jun 4, 2022, 3:31 PM

#

Yeah, the simplest solution would be to move your packet handler or whatever to a separate thread so it doesn't get stopped, but there might not be the capability with the engine, as you said

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:33 PM

#

Though it might be a necessary shift in perspective. Many people usually think about connections in terms of request/response, where it's perfectly valid to wait until you've a reply or a timeout.

#

Also, in many instances, there's simply no way to tell whether the request will complete, so it makes quite a bit of sense.

desert walrus Jun 4, 2022, 3:35 PM

#

Yeah 🤷‍♂️

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:36 PM

#

Except in this instance, the model isn't request/response. :D Or, I should hope it's not.

#

(though from what I've seen of the BCON protocol, it does have the concept of a "session")

nimble sapphire Jun 4, 2022, 3:43 PM

#

You can use the satisfactory-calculator website to upload your save, then you can do quite a few things like copying structures or deleting stuff.

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:44 PM

#

Ah, yes, that exists. But still, it's not a long-term solution. The problem is one of optimisation or, more likely, refactoring - as-is, depending on your server's CPU and memory speeds, there is an upper limit to how many structures you can have before your client connection begins to time out during save operations.

nimble sapphire Jun 4, 2022, 3:45 PM

#

oh, I dunno about that stuff

#

sorry havent been following the conversation

#

but Ive heard some people have some really massive saves

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:46 PM

#

You're correct that there's an online save editor which you can use to remove stuff. But it only puts you under that limit, it doesn't fix the limit itself.

nimble sapphire Jun 4, 2022, 3:46 PM

#

I was simply replying aboutt he cheat stuff

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:46 PM

#

(and the limit is different for everyone, because like I said - it depends on the server's single-thread performance and its capability to shuffle stuff around in RAM when it serialises the save contents)

#

Still, it's good to remember that the save editor does exist, so you can nix stuff. But unless you have massive bases/factories you're no longer using...

nimble sapphire Jun 4, 2022, 3:48 PM

#

often times ppl have a lot of junk

#

so you can delete that, or you can trim some stuff just so it loads

#

then you can optimize more

#

ie you can overclock to reduce number of machines, etc

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:49 PM

#

True. But the thing is - there will come a point where there's nothing else you're willing to trim away. At that point, the server session is simply done unless you can upgrade the server's hardware.

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 3:51 PM

#

nimble sapphire ie you can overclock to reduce number of machines, etc

It would help if you could put up more efficient machines as well - this is typically handled by mods (like the whole "nuclear simplified" one that reduces the number of steps - and thus machines - by like half if not more)... except mods don't yet work on dedicated servers, so that's also currently out.

quick mist Jun 4, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

I'm sure this will become less of an issue when either or more likely both of these things happen:

the network connection is made more robust so server performance dips like those involved in preparing to save, and
the entire save process is reworked to be less contraperformative

narrow gazelle Jun 4, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

No

blazing halo Jun 4, 2022, 10:21 PM

#

Hm, so it's clearly a fixed-length hash (16 bytes), and it looks like MD5 (would probably be the go-to, since this file isn't public), but I don't think it's just the password. Problem is, I don't see what known value it could use that wouldn't change between revisions (so that the old config file doesn't automatically become wrong on server update), but wouldn't (?) be kept in the config file itself (I tested some combinations of other strings in there, none help). Or, rather, I don't see a likely candidate, since there's a ton of values it could use, from a simple "a" to hell knows what... And there is that binary part at the start, though it doesn't seem to change between configuration files.

quick mist Jun 5, 2022, 12:05 AM

#

There are directions for the wiki for resetting the password.

#

it's not just an MD5 hash, it's actually encrypted because basic security best practices.

#

The password is not stored, its salted hash is.

blazing halo Jun 5, 2022, 12:14 AM

#

You either have encryption (in which case it's weird that it's always 16 bytes), or you have a salted MD5 hash. Pick one. Also, where's the salt?

#

(also, it would make little sense to keep encrypted payload (typically presented as binary data) in an FString, especially when there's clearly a binary data segment right before it)

#

I think it's a salted MD5 hash, I just don't know what the salt is.

granite crystal Jun 5, 2022, 12:18 AM

#

i try brut this hash and i got nothing

blazing halo Jun 5, 2022, 12:19 AM

#

(and it's either a static salt, or it's stored in the binary data above... and even then, the binary data doesn't change between instances, so...)

granite crystal Jun 5, 2022, 12:19 AM

#

and i put my pass to wordlist

blazing halo Jun 5, 2022, 12:20 AM

#

Yeah, I tried that too, and I ran a list of hash algorithms to see if it might be one of the other algos that produce 16 bytes of output (or a 32-character hex string). No dice.

#

Normally I'd kick someone in the nuts for using a password hash, but this file is not public, and it clearly uses a salt of some sort, so it shouldn't be susceptible to a rainbow attack either.

#

What I should do is have the server produce a number of hashes based on the same password, and then throw a cracker at it, providing all hashes and the original password. Should spit out a salt or two that I then might find somewhere else.

#

... unless...

#

I just remembered that internally, UE4 uses UCS-2, so it might be using that (and that's a fixed 2-byte encoding) for the hash input. Would be silly, but it could happen, especially if it only converts to 8-bit on save (and not in memory, where it would do the calculation).

bold light Jun 5, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

MD5 is not secure. Most likely it's some other hashing algorithm commonly used for hashing passwords.

blazing halo Jun 5, 2022, 1:28 AM

#

Don't know of any currently employed that look like MD5... but that may simply be my ignorance.

#

But again, it doesn't need to be secure. The file isn't public, and if someone is messing around on your disk - you have bigger problems than just a gameserver password being lost.

bold light Jun 5, 2022, 1:30 AM

#

they all look like MD5 if theyre the same length and the salt is not included

blazing halo Jun 5, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

Speaking of... where's that salt?

blazing halo Jun 5, 2022, 1:32 AM

#

bold light they all look like MD5 if theyre the same length and the salt is not included

My client password is different. The result is the same length.

#

I'm not saying that it is MD5, and I'm not saying that it's not. All I'm saying is that it looks like MD5.

#

I'll need to try with UCS-2 later.

bold light Jun 5, 2022, 1:34 AM

#

at the end of the day, the password is hashed. only way to get access to it is to know the password or to set a new password

blazing halo Jun 5, 2022, 1:34 AM

#

True.

#

Though if it is MD5, then it would be possible to replace the password in the file directly without any other modifications. Something to keep in mind.

bold light Jun 5, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

would probably take less than a minute to try it

blazing halo Jun 5, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

Still need to convert to UCS-2, because MD5 of my passwords as ASCII don't match. Unless it's salted (no reason for it to be, but who knows), and I don't know where the salt is kept.

bold light Jun 5, 2022, 1:36 AM

#

might be a common salt stored in a config file or something, generated at install time

#

or system ID

blazing halo Jun 5, 2022, 1:36 AM

#

Wouldn't explain why hashes of the same password are different.

#

Also, if it was in any way tied to the system, it would make moving the config file impossible.

bold light Jun 5, 2022, 1:37 AM

#

if you use the same password and the same salt you get the same result

blazing halo Jun 5, 2022, 1:37 AM

#

Which means there must be some salt used.

#

Maybe time.

#

But it has to be kept somewhere.

If you're running the dedicated server, both -log and -unattended are unnecessary as they're assumed by default.

#

The error you're getting is about being unable to bind to an address/port combination.

#

Understandable, as you're hading it -multihome=0.0.0.0.

#

The multihome parameter exists in order to tell the server which of the multiple IPs it should bind to (as it will bind to all by default).

#

By handing it 0.0.0.0 you're essentially confusing it. :)

In general, I've found that the Satisfactory DS - when it's not having a very particular issue - is actually very chill as far as services go. It creates all of its defaults readily and without complaining, it starts up with sane default values if none are specified, and it should technically run without much fuss. It seems to have an issue with graceful shutdown, but other than that - it really shouldn't be ornery at all.

Remember to set up the admin password (so that nobody else can claim the server as theirs, though it's a fairly easy fix), and it's advisable to set up a player password if you're going to be opening the server to the Internet. This way you won't get unwanted visitors, and it'll be easy to change it (and tell only a few people) if you need someone to leave (or, rather, not come back). You can set both up in the admin UI view.

#

I setup a server using a domain and when I go into my game it appears offline, but it's online. I re-add it and it finds it. Is it checking by pinging it or something? I suspect my router is blocking the check...

#

It only shows offline to me, not to the outside world.

No clue, really. It fucked up a memory address, for some reason. Though if it's in Experimental, you should probably expect more issues like this. Is the Experimental branch a fetish? ;P AFAIK the stable branch has feature parity. The game says that it's "the same", but I don't know if it's binary 1:1.

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 10:25 PM

Is your domain one of those dyndns or no-ip offerings to cover for the fact you have a dynamic IP address? Because you can add a server by hostname, but it actually saves it using the IP address to which it resolves at the time you add it.

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 10:27 PM

#

quick mist ~~Is your domain one of those dyndns or no-ip offerings to cover for the fact yo...

Uhhh, no.

#

It saves the name you provide verbatim.

quick mist Jun 6, 2022, 10:28 PM

#

the name-as-in-label, but if you use a hostname, and the hostname later resolves to a new IP, it does not follow. Or at least it did not last time I tested this.

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 10:28 PM

#

Then retest, because I am looking at the contents of my ServerManager.sav file, and it clearly retained the name.

#

#

(see: Address / StrProperty, content: arkserver.lan)

#

It was actually one of the first things I tested, because STEAM is notorious for not saving the name...

quick mist Jun 6, 2022, 10:31 PM

#

that it certainly is. Glad to see my information is out-of-date. I sit corrected.

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 10:32 PM

#

Meh, is fine. I talk with authority all the time too, and I'm incorrect a lot as it turns out... :D

#

Still, that behaviour is weird. Works the first time, but not on subsequent attempts...

#

As far as I've seen, there shouldn't be a difference between the 1st and the nth connection, so it's hella weird.

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 10:34 PM

#

turbid skiff It only shows offline to me, not to the outside world.

I guess we're back to "how are you connecting to the server" because that might play a role.

#

Also, if it works via the DDNS service, but not for you - have you considered connecting via LAN directly and calling it a day? You're the only one who can do this (without VPN), but since you're the only one affected... problem: meet solution.

#

You may also want to switch your DNS server from your ISP's DNS to something like Google's, or OpenDNS. ISP DNS servers tend to be overworked and, in my experience, have insanely high timeout values (to save on egress traffic), which makes them unreliable in terms of accessibility and accuracy. It's perfectly possible that when you try again, you're getting a stale DNS record, and your IP has changed since then. Since you'd be getting this from a DNS forwarder that has heavy cache, you'd be the only one seeing the stale record.

turbid skiff Jun 6, 2022, 10:37 PM

#

I'm using a DDNS something.myroutercompany.com and it appears I'm the only one affected so I guess I'll just use the IP address instead

#

I'm on the same network

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

Then use the LAN address. Like I said, problem - meet solution. ;P

quick mist Jun 6, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

hrm. Honestly if it's only affecting you, use the LAN address and if it never changes you never have to think about it again (:

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 10:39 PM

#

I would expect a server would have at least a static lease, if not a static address outright.

quick mist Jun 6, 2022, 10:39 PM

#

not a solution so much as an ostrich-head but I'm not one to let 'perfect' be the enemy of 'good enough'

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 10:39 PM

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 10:42 PM

If I told my dialup past self that I'd one day have two servers to call my own, he would probably cry himself to sleep.

quick mist Jun 6, 2022, 10:43 PM

#

I kind of want to smack past-me for paying $100/mo for a dedicated colo server, but then VPSs didn't yet exist.

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 10:43 PM

#

My only regret is that I was born too late for the whole "free shell" thing.

#

I did catch the tail end of it, and even had an account, but didn't know what to do with it. And then they died.

quick mist Jun 6, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

they're still around, but quite limited in available horsepower. at least while remaining 'free'. But if you want a shell to bang around on and learn your way nowadays, it doesn't get much better than one's preference between WSL and VirtualBox

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

I like hardware, stuff I can touch. Spare PC is my way.

#

But I now have several. And now, I know what to do with them. :D

#

Like, running Satisfactory. :D

But hey, it's been something like over 20 years since then. I know a lot more besides, and it'd be weird if I didn't.

@blazing halo it looks to me like the save file is damaged, as it's failing when deserializing a thing in your world. You might consider uploading the save file to the satisfactory calculator then redownloading, it builds a new file from scratch

#

assertion failed while loading a splitter

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 11:46 PM

#

Ah, yes, it does seem like that. Though I'm not the one with the issue. @shadow elbow is.

#

Though in this instance, I would rather propose they go back to an earlier auto-save. Clear out the save directory (move the files to their local game), start the server without a save, and then upload an older auto-save to start it manually.

#

Not sure how much the Save Editor cuts out, but it sounds like a better idea, retention-wise.

#

The save files are positively tiny, all things considered.

civic lantern Jun 6, 2022, 11:49 PM

#

the save editor effectively re-builds it from what it parsed, and the hope is that the parser is picky

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 11:50 PM

#

I'd still go with trying an earlier auto-save first. There's a chance only the latest is corrupt.

#

Better to lose up to say 15 minutes of work, than half the serialized tree if it can't be recovered.

civic lantern Jun 6, 2022, 11:52 PM

#

i think the worst would the culprit splitter disappearing. the developer of that site is here

#

plus, it renames the file on re-download 😉

blazing halo Jun 6, 2022, 11:52 PM

#

On a separate note, I'd investigate why the save got corrupted. It could be inopportune timing, but it might be a sign of trouble on the server host.

civic lantern Jun 6, 2022, 11:53 PM

Wondering if anyone has a moment to try a Zerotier network, for interconnecting us fans? Zerotier is an overlay network that, despite most any intervening firewalls, nat gateway, etc. ensures that network peers can communicate with each other. It creates a a private network in a random range, such as 10.244.x.x . Traffic can not be viewed by Zerotier, the admin, or anyone but the peers communicating. All traffic is encrypted, too.

Though I'd be curious as to how it auto-configures vis-a-vis existing network infrastructure, and whether it does translation if someone can't participate in the randomly-chosen address space.

Your problem was explained above that bit. There were two solutions presented to you.

civic lantern Jun 7, 2022, 12:05 AM

#

well, the nice thing is you can find out. I'm on fibre and well-connected (and not in the US either)

#

if you install zerotier and tell me your address (10 characters) you'll be added. ends up looking like this

#

#

I'm behind a double nat, and haven't had any problems yet, but I haven't tried interconnecting this crazy udp game on it

#

The 1003c..22 is the address

blazing halo Jun 7, 2022, 12:07 AM

#

Considering what sort of service this is, it should work without a hitch. I'm still wary of joining strangers' networks, though, so I'll pass.

Hello all,
we have a problem on our own dedicatet Server.
Yesterday we play around with a car ( 2 player) I've jumped on the Car while the other one drives it. Suddenly I start Swirl around an fly through the air, very fast and far away, somewhere at a Beach
I flew through the ground into the neverlands... and died... respawn at HUB.
We tried to find the Chest with my things... but no chance... Ok, this happens... the lesson is don't play with the cars...

But then today, I just stand near my HUB at the gear station. Crafting some inhaler, but suddenly, I just died - without reason. Respawn at the HUB.. .
But there is no Chest with my things. again I lost all gear, and due to I've been just back from a tour, also many snails and hard drives are gone now.
The Gear I can replace, but thu snails and the hard drives will be gone 😦

What can I do to get my stuff back? Is there a possibility to find the chests ?

Thanks in Advance and sorry for my bad english

No doubt. We paying about $89 a month for three of us because we tried three separate hosting providers but the lag was so bad we would randomly fall out of our hyper tubs or our hover packs wouldn't stop moving forward and killed us repeatedly. Moving to this instantly fix it. Granted each of the three os us had a solid 200 hours in the save file so we had a lot of factories running

The first 50 or so hours we had no issues on the provider we had but after that it tanked hard and fast. Since I run full APM monitoring on my servers I was able to learn it was really a single thread level issue and acted accordingly

raw relic So I typed my IP address in and it comes up saying this server appears to be off...

Did you forward UDP ports 15777 15000 and 7777 to your pc on your router? If you dont do that your router's firewall will block any attempt to connect to the server

raw relic Jun 8, 2022, 5:46 PM

#

port is 1577

void birch Jun 8, 2022, 5:50 PM

@void birch

civic lantern Jun 8, 2022, 5:51 PM

Linode has a $60 credit and a machine that can easily run a few SF dedicated servers is around 40/mo

void birch Jun 8, 2022, 5:51 PM

#

raw relic <@229168705148420096>

your router. not the game

#

you have to log into your router and forward the appropriate ports to your pc

#

usually 192.169.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 to log in but if those dont work then open a command prompt and type ipconfig, then go to the ip address listed as default gateway

#

login information will be written on the router if you use the router your isp provided and nobody changed it

#

if you use a router you bought you probably set the password when you first set it up, or if it didnt make you do that then you can google your routers model number and default login. probably admin admin most likely

#

though to be fair if you dont know how to forward ports it's probably better for you to just rent a server from somewhere that's already set up and configured through a web interface

#

although it's really not that hard. just a little different from router to router

void birch Jun 8, 2022, 5:59 PM

It's often on a white sticker.

For example, like this:

#

In fact, when you have the router make & model, you can Google various procedures for it. Like, how to port-forward.

#

@raw relic I assume you're trying to make it so that your friends can connect to your server, and your friends are not within your network, correct?

#

Because you can just connect directly.

raw relic Jun 8, 2022, 6:23 PM

I don’t have any friends

blazing halo Jun 8, 2022, 6:24 PM

Then why are you trying to port-forward for the server?

void birch Jun 8, 2022, 6:24 PM

oh wait. if you're trying to connect on the same computer as youre running the server try typing localhost in the ip slot

blazing halo Jun 8, 2022, 6:24 PM

Hey Everyone, when is the next dev stream? I'd love to ask about dedicated servers and how world save files can get too large for the map at some point that it causes all sorts of weird things to happen on the map such as freezing players, map not updating and freezing, trains causing weird issues and causing bad server behavior, etc. I work with Baconz and a bunch of other players on a very well memory allocated server and we try to do all we can to fix it. Just curious about if there will be any updates to dedicated servers in the coming updates to the game. Otherwise, if anyone has any ideas of what we can do to help improve the server in a way that can help reduce the symptoms of having lots of trains affecting performance, freezing map, beacons not displaying properly, etc.

Do you get warnings about subsequent authentication packets being ignored when someone tries to connect?

If you do, I'd like to know what sort of router setup you have (make & model, or if it's PC-based - OS & software).

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. It's the DS, so I can't use mods with it - so that's out - and I've been having this issue with it since the beginning (sometime mid-April).

I can also connect to it via LAN just fine, so it's not a complete connectivity issue.

It's also the only service that refuses to work correctly for me, no matter which ports I set it up with.

And I also can't connect to any Internet game either, from my network.

It shouldn't be a proxy issue, because I do have other services running, and those all run fine, are reachable from the Internet and so on.

There are likely multiple causes of this, I think. Last time I had this issue, restarting the server fixed it for me. It doesn't seem to fix it for others, though... Have you tried manually saving the game, then loading it in SP to see if saving it in SP will somehow correct the issue?

#

The save files are small enough that it shouldn't even take all that long, start to finish.

I've done that, if you turn all graphics settings to minimum, and set the fps cap to 30 or 60, you can make gpu usage minimal, at which point it itsnt a terrible amount more impact full to performance than a dedicated server.

On my DS today I have experienced some weird stuff with my vehicles, first when you park them on a elevated floor, and leave them for quite a while, and eventually return to them, it will have disappeared, however they are still there, untill it glitch and fall through the floor on the ground. And if you go fetch them, on a distance you will see them, and when you get near, it disappear. I can see the steering wheel to interact, but cant interact. So, to fix it I try to delete something that is not highlighted, hoping to delete the vehecle and redeploy it

This is correct; all a client needs to connect is the server address and, if there is one, password. A connection test will work without a password (the client will get a password prompt if the connection attempt is successful)

blazing halo Jun 13, 2022, 3:23 AM

desert walrus Also, vehicles just generally suck on dedicated servers

I don't know what you mean - they're extremely entertaining! :D

#

I have my own farm of bunny-hopping trucks. It's great!

#

My tractors leave after-images! :D

#

Ah, they're also a great way to move around the map! Have a friend drive one, and then sit on it - soon enough you'll be kicked way up and propelled like from a canon! :D

#

(I would recommend having the jetpack here, landings can get a little rought)

#

There's the small issue of having little to no control which way you'll get thrown... but can you say you know the entire map by heart? I sure can't! So it's a great exploratory experience! And believe me, having half a sliver of HP left when it happens really pumps up the adrenaline and gives it that "pioneer" vibe!

the other question is: how to make the server run without any player logged in?

i just want the project part production keep going but not using my client pc meanwhile

I can leave it on without it being in the background on my pc

There will be an update for the dedicated server. However, Steam has a less-than-fantastic track record of ensuring the client and server manifests get updated on the same instant. There may be some delay where one is updated before the other.

fire up your game client and connect to it, presumably.

define 'that'

wary storm Jun 13, 2022, 3:56 PM

nat connection failed

yes

Start a client, enter server manager, put in the server IP in the Bizarro password style field. The rest should go easy

what ip do you do?

The servers iP

wary storm Jun 13, 2022, 3:59 PM

is it listening on port

civic lantern Jun 13, 2022, 3:59 PM

If it's in the same computer, try 127.0.0.1

wary storm Jun 13, 2022, 3:59 PM

#

then numbers

#

ok

#

i saw one saying port 15000

civic lantern Jun 13, 2022, 4:00 PM

#

You don't have to change the suggested port until you've changed the game default

wary storm Jun 13, 2022, 4:00 PM

#

ok

quick mist Jun 13, 2022, 4:01 PM

#

there is no reason to change any of the Port numbers unless you have gone out of your way to use non-default assignations

wary storm Jun 13, 2022, 4:01 PM

nope dont even know how

can i close the server tab?

#

i mean app

quick mist Jun 13, 2022, 4:05 PM

#

only if you don't want the server to be running any longer

#

(the server is a program; if you close a program, it stops running. There are, again, directions on the Wiki for setting up NSSM to run the server as a service)

how do i find server ip

knotty pagoda Jun 13, 2022, 5:58 PM

#

yea

quick mist Jun 13, 2022, 5:59 PM

#

if you are using a client on the same physical computer as the server, the easy answer is either localhost or 127.0.0.1; otherwise you can use the command ipconfig to look for an address starting with (usually) 192.168. or 10. for a server on your network.

#

if you want the public address (presuming port forwarding is properly set up) then on the server host to to a site such as ipchicken.com to see your WAN address

wary storm Jun 13, 2022, 6:03 PM

#

can someone find my loaction with it?

quick mist Jun 13, 2022, 6:04 PM

#

only for very vague definitions of '[your] location'

wary storm Jun 13, 2022, 6:05 PM

#

so like would it say city?

quick mist Jun 13, 2022, 6:05 PM

#

99% of the time, it resolves to the address of the datacenter that IP is delegated to with your internet service provider

#

very rarely, it resolves to a more localized "junction"

wary storm Jun 13, 2022, 6:06 PM

#

if i search my ip up it goes on to my network stuff

#

but they can only change the lights on it

#

they need a admin password

#

would i be ok?

quick mist Jun 13, 2022, 6:07 PM

#

you should maybe check that your router is configured to only allow admin logins from your local network (this is usually the default which is why it's asking you for login credentials)

#

but yes, you should be fine

wary storm Jun 13, 2022, 6:07 PM

#

should i go on another network and test?

#

ok

quick mist Jun 13, 2022, 6:08 PM

#

you can ensure by using a tool like canyouseeme.org and asking it to check your IP address on TCP Port 80 (which is what most routers use to log into admin interfaces). If it says it can't see you, you're in the clear.

wary storm Jun 13, 2022, 6:09 PM

#

no one can see me

#

good

#

thank

blazing halo Jun 13, 2022, 6:44 PM

#

Also check for TCP port 443.

#

Some routers offer login exclusively via HTTPS now, or can be configured to do so.

#

(though I'd expect them to also have sane security defaults, and having the router's webUI exposed on LAN only has been a standard for years)

frail aurora Jun 13, 2022, 6:57 PM

Anyone know the minimum recommended ram requirements for a Nodecraft server? (For this game obviously)

quick mist Jun 13, 2022, 7:19 PM

#

I can't speak to Nodecraft

#

but at least 4GiB of unused RAM for Satisfactory is a good start

blazing halo Jun 13, 2022, 7:24 PM

#

As far as I can tell, it's using up about 6.5 GB of memory with some (but not a lot of) construction. Plan accordingly.

cyan rover Jun 13, 2022, 7:44 PM

#

It appears nodecrafts recommendation was 6GB after attempting to setup with 2GB bot i already had. But given the amount of stuff being built, guess i'll need to max it out at 8GB.. can't wait to have my own server up and running so i don't have to pay these prices lol

There will be an update for the dedicated server. However, Steam has a less-than-fantastic track record of ensuring the client and server manifests get updated on the same instant. There may be some delay where one is updated before the other. (this is typically a matter of minutes or hours, not days)

#

atomic patio will there ever be an option to use srv records for a server ie satisfactory.exa...

srv records are overkill for this. srv records are for service discovery. like, "does example.com have a satisfactory server" you would query for a SRV record _factorygame._udp.example.com . which would be silly.

atomic patio Jun 14, 2022, 2:24 AM

ok what about a records at the minimum

this works.

the game always said "This address doesn't seem to be valid"

if you can publish a dns record (can you?) it works. I just it today with zerotier which has a bunch of elaborate f'ery but i could easily put a DNS name into the server address field

so uhh im on epic and trying to make a server

#

but idk what to do to get the adress after running

.\FactoryServer.exe -log -unattended

atomic patio Jun 14, 2022, 10:06 AM

#

if the server is on the same computer as you are playing you can use 127.0.0.1 as the IP but other people would need your external IP you can find this just by typing in google "what is my ip" also make sure you port forwarded your router to tell it where to send the traffic

if you are renting a server machine from someone the you'd just use the external IP of the machine that you can usually find on your dashboard

if the server is on another computer that is on your local network(connected to the same network as your computer that is being used to play the game) you can use either the external IP of your network or you can use the internal IP of the machine hosting the server everyone outside would have to use your external IP (make sure you port forwarded your router same as if the server was on the same computer as you were playing on)

#

@coarse orchid ^

coarse orchid Jun 14, 2022, 10:12 AM

#

thanks, that helped guide me. I did get to connect by myself now i will have to wait for my brother to get home for him to try connecting via my ip

#

i myself can't get into the server due to "The connection to the host has been lost" me being the host

atomic patio Jun 14, 2022, 10:14 AM

#

is the server still running?

coarse orchid Jun 14, 2022, 10:14 AM

#

yes

#

i entered via the 127.0.0.1 IP

atomic patio Jun 14, 2022, 10:14 AM

#

did you get to claim the server via that IP?

#

ie set an admin password and create the save

coarse orchid Jun 14, 2022, 10:15 AM

yes, i loaded a save from my current playthrough

coarse orchid but adding the server via my own ip doesn't seem to work as it doesn't pull the ...

do you mean the external IP?

coarse orchid Jun 14, 2022, 10:17 AM

#

yes

atomic patio Jun 14, 2022, 10:17 AM

#

if so for that to work you'd need to port forward

coarse orchid Jun 14, 2022, 10:18 AM

#

do i do that by restarting the server and adding the

-Port=7777

command?

#

or ServerQueryPort?

atomic patio Jun 14, 2022, 10:19 AM

#

no you'd need to go to the administrator web panel for your router

#

you find that by googling "<router brand> administration panel"

#

you dont need to port forward if you aren't wanting anyone from outside your network (ie if your brother lives in the same house as you)

#

if he lives in his own house then you would need to

coarse orchid Jun 14, 2022, 10:22 AM

#

oh. if we don't portforward then i should be able to connect via the machine ip?

atomic patio Jun 14, 2022, 10:23 AM

#

the internal ip yes

#

on windows btw you can open command prompt or windows terminal(if you have that) and type ipconfig and then find the IPv4 line that is your internal IP

#

your brother would use the same ip to connect to the server

coarse orchid Jun 14, 2022, 10:25 AM

#

atomic patio on windows btw you can open command prompt or windows terminal(if you have that)...

yeah thanks actually

#

google being wrong as always...

atomic patio Jun 14, 2022, 10:26 AM

#

if you are talking about the "what is my ip" search thats your external IP

coarse orchid Jun 14, 2022, 10:26 AM

#

there's always a "your connection to the server host has been lost" even when i connect as client rather than admin

coarse orchid Jun 14, 2022, 10:27 AM

#

atomic patio if you are talking about the "what is my ip" search thats your external IP

then i could simply use hamachi to connect us over long distances(his room is further where he catches the second wifi but i don't and vice versa)

#

imma look it up

atomic patio Jun 14, 2022, 10:28 AM

i dont think you'd need hamachi but im not sure with a mesh network

coarse orchid Jun 14, 2022, 10:28 AM

wait can you not play modded on servers?

atomic patio Jun 14, 2022, 10:28 AM

#

not yet

coarse orchid Jun 14, 2022, 10:28 AM

#

ok yep thats the problem

atomic patio Jun 14, 2022, 10:29 AM

#

iirc usually a mesh network is just a secondary wireless access point it uses the same list of IPs that the one you connect to uses

coarse orchid Jun 14, 2022, 10:29 AM

#

looked at the server "command prompt window" and found something about "corrupted packet data"

atomic patio Jun 14, 2022, 10:29 AM

#

yea modded isn't available yet on dedicated servers

coarse orchid Jun 14, 2022, 10:29 AM

thats sad

#

ig thats the reason why even epic games friend matchmaking wont let him through easily even if we use the same mods

atomic patio Jun 14, 2022, 10:30 AM

keen vortex Jun 14, 2022, 3:58 PM

#

this is weird

#

so i couldn't collect some plants but others i can collect

hidden rapids Jun 14, 2022, 3:58 PM

#

@signal rain yup, cant figure how to update it xD

keen vortex Jun 14, 2022, 3:58 PM

#

could be a dune desert issue

hidden rapids Jun 14, 2022, 3:58 PM

#

Seems like the "branch" is bugged in lgsm

worthy isle Jun 14, 2022, 3:58 PM

@cosmic arch was using it over in #satisfactory-experimental

signal rain Jun 14, 2022, 3:59 PM

#

@hidden rapids I put mine on experimental before updating, but apparently the version aren't matching

keen vortex Jun 14, 2022, 3:59 PM

#

i'm going to guess that this is a map issue with dune desert

hidden rapids Jun 14, 2022, 3:59 PM

#

@signal rain in what way did you do it, "branch="experimental"" or ?

keen vortex Jun 14, 2022, 4:00 PM

there were uncollectable plants in U5 in the dune desert as well
