@Solra Binza If i try to connect with my ipv4 it just dosent work even though the server is listening for connections. ive tried disableing my firewall and tweaking the listen adress but nothing works

Sorry for delayed responses.

@Austen: The connections are made by X,Y coordinate specifically because it makes base design more challenging. If we made them connectable by a code instead, all transportation problems would be instantly solved.

And different game speeds are fine, though it can get a little weird. :)

@Elro: Very strange. I don't have any ideas as to what might cause that.

@ARandomSkunk: It still works for me, so I'm not sure what's wrong.

Does this still work? I'm having trouble getting the server to run under linux. Failure to parse version requirement for gio, then after fixing that (I set it to *, I'm afraid I don't know rust), I get os error 22. I'm not sure what I'm getting an invalid argument over. Any ideas?

Hey! Thank you for making this mod! I have some issues with the senders (we tested 20k joules sender and Z drop box sender). We are both connected to the server, I can see the logs of the connections for both players as well as all the receiver asking for resources. However I never see logs for the senders, I just see the message when players join to the server. Sender and receiver are placed at a validposition, I can see this in the log too.

Example of logs:
Player A registered a "JoulesSender" at {40,100}
Player A registered a "SolidRecver" at {38,102}
Player B registered a "JoulesRecver" at {40,100}
Player B registered a "SolidSender" at {38,102}

Player A sunk an object from {38,102} (got nothing)
Player B wanted up to 20000J from {40,100} (0J gotten)
... continues forever

Do you know what could be happening there?

Thanks!

@Solra Bizna And a little suggestion. Is that possible to connect the receiver and sender by code or channel? Which much easier for base design

@Solra Bizna Thank you! And may I had another question? That will different game speed cause error? So I had four people play with me, two of us used game speed mod which multiply game speed by 2.

It's okay if some mods are different. However, if you try to send items, materials, germs, etc. that don't exist for everybody, things will break.

Just a small question ,should all players have same mod and all same setting?

It sounds like there's an issue with the way they implemented dehydrated food. Our own attempts to run the server have broken (?!) so it will be a bit before we can look into these problems.

Hi, I'm testing with my friend transferring resources. We are having issues sending food, dehydrated food and eggs through the drop-box and conveyor port. The error we get says "(IP Address) ERROR: failed to write frame in transport." As for the dehydrated food, it ends up getting spit out and re-hydrating itself.

Game still works, I only had to disable my antivirus firewall!

Hey!

Thanks for the (very) short answer. I did portfoward using my IPv4 and the right ports (5496) open. Same for when I boot the server: ''my IPv4'':5496 and ingame, I type my external ip with the port, but nothing appears as a successful connection. I might be doing something wrong

The mod should still work just fine.
Are you connecting to the right IP? Is the port forwarded?
Is the mod/server giving you any error information?

Hi!

Is the mod still compatible? I'm tyring to create a server, all information seem alright, but no connection is being established. I suspect the recent updates prevent the mod to work?

They're both on 127.0.0.1 because I'm using ngrok.
The coords for the sender and receiver should be the same as we built it in exactly the same location on exactly the same world seed, they also show the same location when clicked. (Maybe there is another sender/receiver somewhere which could explain the differing coords but I'm not sure on that)
No, I'm not using this mod to send power across the map.

Why is the sender and receiver both on 127.0.0.1?
Why is the co-ords for the sender and receiver different? (Your receiver is at 116, 116, but your sender is at 146, 131)
Are you trying to send power across your map?
If so, that's not what this mod is for.

I've noticed that power senders and receivers don't work very well if there isn't at least one battery on the grid. Does adding a small battery after the transformer make any difference?

server output:
```
127.0.0.1:50888 wanted up to 20000J from {116,116} (0J gotten)
```
Sometimes it says it got 100J or something in that range, but never 20000.
I also see this message appearing quite often, but not as much as the first:
```
127.0.0.1:50884 registered a "JoulesSender" at {146,131}
```
I think this probably indicates a bug in the mod because it doesn't make sense for the same Joules Sender to be registered multiple times.
I believe this message only started appearing after I removed the power transformer but I'm not 100% sure on that.
The receiver is constantly asking for 20000KJ, which is the maximum of the power receiver building we used.
The sender definitely has enough spare power.
I don't know what you mean with if the sender is sending power often enough, if you mean the simulation speed, it's at or more than the speed of the receiver.
When I cut out the transformer and connected the sender directly to the main power grid seemingly nothing changed.

Enable verbose mode on the server and check what that says.
Is the receiver asking often enough for power?
Is the sender sending power often enough?
Do you have enough spare power on your network to keep sending it?
How much power is the receiver consuming?

What if you try directly connecting the sender to your main grid?

I have a power sender behind a large power transformer, but sometimes when the power sender holds less than 20kJ, the power transformer is inactive and holds 0 (or very few) joules. The power receiver on the other side is constantly toggling between receiving and not receiving any power, I think this is related. Any idea what might be going on here? Is it a bug or am I using it incorrectly?

Try increasing the object size

for some reason when i try to send food to another player, the server states that it failed to write frame to transport, but whenever i send anything else like eggs, materials, gases/liquids, metals the server is fine. any ideas why or how it can be fixed?

Awesome thanks for replying back :)

The drop box storage amount is that low for two reasons:
1. To encourage you to use the conveyor sender/receiver
2. Sending items over the network is a lot more complicated than gases/liquids/energy

If by "Power is surging / unstable" you mean the receiver can't get energy fast enough, that's because the server's buffer of energy is running out. You can fix that by either running the game on the sender's side faster, or by editing the value "MAX_STORED_ENERGY" in src/map.rs for the server and then recompiling it

Is it possible to be able to increase the Sending Amount of the drop box up from 1000kg? Gas and Liquids are working perfect, Power is surging / unstable.

Things are sent from senders to the server, and clients ask the server for things.
So if there is no receiver, but the sender is still working, eventually the servers buffer will fill up, and then nothing else will get sent.
If there is no sender, but the receiver is still working, then the receiver will stop working when the servers buffer is empty

so, what happens when the two aren't playing at the same time? What happens on the sending end, what happens on the receiving end? (if the other isn't playing)

That will depend on your Internet Service Provider and what router you have. Unfortunately, we can't help with that, but searching "(name of ISP) port forward" or "(model number of router) port forward" may help. You can run the server on whatever port you want, but the default port number is 5496.

Sorry for my ignorance, but how do I forward the server port?

You need to forward the server port,
and to find your ip, search for a "whats my ipv4" site on google.

That worked for me to join the server thank you! Could you help me what address and port to put for someone not on the same network?

Try connecting to 127.0.0.1

I've downloaded the server but Im having issues connected to in when I've loaded up a game. I tried using a couple different IP addresses listed in my CMD but nothing showed up on the server. I am using a windows computer and any help would be appricated.

Awesome, thank you so much! I was able to set up the server and connect successfully by myself while waiting for my friends to join :D It was incredibly straight forward and easy, even while using a custom DNS with port forwarding - it just worked!

As many players as you want can connect to the server.
And as many players as you want can try to receive resources at the same spot,
But the server makes no effort in trying to distribute evenly between them.

I just discovered this mod and I'm so excited to try it out with some friends. One thing that wasn't very clear to me though. Can more than 2 players connect to the server and share resources through the Z buildings? If that's the case, are the resources I send distributed equally between all players, or do you have to build multiple Z buildings to share with different players and choose which one will be at the receiving end (e.g. if multiple players build a Z Gas Receiver at the same coordinates)?

Uh... I think this mod is good, but I can't understand how to use this.... can you show me video that how to work this???

Thanks so much for this mod!!

@Obuw , How to work through Hamachi, please tell us.

Port forwarding is a huge pain to set up for many people. It's usually much easier to use Hamachi. Look into it if you are not on the same local network. (It's free)

I actually configured a small VM on Azure Cloud to host the Zmod server, because I play with friends in another continent and I often don't have access to my router for port forwarding.

If ye want I could post a small guide on it. It costs me about 0.2Eur last month (Though I'm a very modest ONI player).

Setting it up was faster than creating my Azure Account.

Someone will need to host the server.
If you are not on the same local network, you will have to use port forwarding.

Its doesnt work, i cant transfer resourses to my friend. How to use mods if we are not on the same local network??

We explain how to set up and use the mod in the description above, along with the link to the server download.

How to use this mod ?!

Hi, put a video how set up this piece of transport, thanks

Amazing how I didn't even have the time to gather the Data for you to fix the issue and. PUF. It is already fixed xD.

Respect!

BTW. I Know German and Portuguese if ye need help for Translations. (Though my German is kinda... 3rd Grade-is)
