Where is the file to change IP on my own

[trusleyrd]

dedicated server. I have my own server and the IP it is using is 127.0.0.1 where is the file to change this?

I answered you in the other thread

You can't just come up with a number. That's not how networking works. 127.0.0.1 is localhost. It's what lets you connect to your server on the same machine. If you have two computers on the same network, run ipconfig on the computer running the server, it'll probably say 192.168.1.whatever or 192.168.2.whatever. You should be able to connect to the server on the 2nd computer using that IP if on the same network.

If you are talking about exposing it externally to the internet.... I can't in good conscience give you that answer. But I am sure someone below will.

Never EVER go and expose dedicated server to internet without basic understanding of network security and how TCP/IP works... you're asking for being attacked by script-kiddies and other nasties.

Do you want to know how much different entities are knocking on my firewall to try and reach obvious ports that might have services that answer and could be exploited or brute forced?

Hundreds of thousands of times per week, continuously 24/7.

And I'm just some guy with nothing truly worthy behind my wall, except the possibility to use my devices as part of botnet.

It's a mess. Luckily I've done my due-diligence on basics. *knocks on wood*

If you wish to run a dedicated server while exposing the IP to wide world, you NEED TO KNOW YOUR ♥♥♥♥.

I know what I'm doing. I have run conan exiles, ARK, VRising and many others. I dont play with other people (hate em). Its not connecting to the server I have running. Normally you have to put in the local IP that your server is using, I have a static IP set for it. I have the server running but it says its off line when I try and connect so I wanted to check out the config file and see if I needed to enter in the static IP of my server. Is there one??

[Fenix]

see the other thread

[Zaflis]

You don't need to change anything, just connect to it with the server IP. If it's not connecting you're trying wrong IP? No game server has ever needed us to type its own IP in it.

You can try to ping the server from command prompt too, see if it responds. You might also see IP's of different connected devices in your router's admin page. Or on the server machine run some "ipconfig" command in the command prompt? I forgot if there was some helpful parameter to it too.

Does satisfactory automatically use the static IP I have for my server? I have the satisfactory server running and when I try and connect with my internal IP I have set for that server it says the server is off line. I hope this makes it clearer. I dont play with people (hate em) just want to play alone.

oh, then just use 127.0.0.1, if on the same machine
If on another machine on the network, you just need the IP the router gives that machine with the server. no configuration needed, beside maybe port forwarding.

By default the server process is listening to all local IP addresses. So if something doesn't work then this doesn't have much to do with the dedicated server but rather the way in which you set up your network and/or server.

If you knew what you were doing you would not have to ask here. And you DEFINATELY would not claim 127.0.0.1 is your ip, that address has always been and will always be localhost. An ip that is unable to even connect to a network.
If you only need localhost, then that is the ip to use ON THAT MACHINE. That ip is the same on ANY computer having a localhost.
If you use this as your "static ip" you not correctly configured.

Besides, if you only play locally (client and server on same pc), why bother with the ip at all, YOU ARE CONNECTING TO LOCALHOST!
Otherwise, if the server is another computer on the same local network as you, just connect to the ip of the server, no need to do anything other than that.

TyCobb gave you a perfect explanation of this, I just doubled down because you seem more interested in talking about your other servers rather than actually accumulate the knowledge delivered here in the thread.

Ok, I will try this again, I have 2 computers, one is the server the other I game on. I have static ips of 192.168.1.66 for my gaming computer and 192.168.1.210 for my server. I know what the IP my service provider and would NEVER give that out. I want to play on the 210 IP. So you are saying that the satisfactory server program automatically selects the IP of the 192.168.1.210 of the server computer?? I have always had to input the static IP in games like conan exile, ARK, VRising and many other games of this type. I want to be able to let it run while I'm not playing to accumulate products. I hope this makes it more understandable. I have done this for years and this is the fist time there is no config file.

I didn't do anything but launch the server, and use the server machine setup the game.
then using my Laptop I connected to the server just fine using the IPv4 Address IpConfig shows (192.168.1.155, not that is matters) for the server machine.

1. I have no idea why those game servers "demand" you providing what ip it has, makes zero sense.
2. The server does not give a crap about what ip it has, it listens on specified ports on all interfaces.
3. Since you figured out the ip of the server is 192.168.1.210, that is the ip you connect to from within the local network.
4. It seems you are not interested in playing with the server online, so no need for anything else. (no opening ports and forwarding etc)
5. All of this is completely unnecessary, since you play alone, you can just start the server when you start the game, ie, just click "load" and you are done.

I didnt "figure out" the IP I GAVE it a static IP 7 years ago. I'm using two separate computers in my own HOME and NOT a server you rent. I want to be able to let the game run 24/7 and for crafting games like this its good to let it run and build up resources. These type of games with dedicated servers have ALWAYS made you put in the IP of the computer you are running the server off of. Maybe they have changed it and it automatically uses the IP of the server then I have a different issue as the game says server is offline. There still should be a config file that you can go and see what IP they are using. Oh well, this is a fun game just never gonna play it again I guess.

No they don't. They simply bind on a port number, so all available IP's.

I've been running quite a few local LAN servers... Minecraft, Empyrion, Arma 3, Eurotruck, Alien vs. Predator, Star Wars Jedi Knight and of course Satisfactory. They don't care about IP addresses, they simply provide you with a port number to use; one which you can sometimes customize.
