The default GameUserSettings.ini file created during the install did not include all the values that the server needs to see in the file. Therefore, the server would delete the file upon startup, rendering the Network Quality and Autosave Interval startup variables un-set and un-acknowledged. Adding these required values to the default file created upon installation resolves this issue, allowing these settings to be set properly. Existing servers will need to reinstall for this fix to go into effect.
- `adminlist.txt` and `banlist.txt` are not currently recognized from within the persistent data path, so they were removed from the installation script, and the README was updated to point users to the currently working file location.
- "Game Mode" startup parameter was renamed to "Game Settings Preset" to avoid confusion, and it's default value set to null to match documentation.
- V Rising was in the wrong alphabetical spot for all the directory READMEs and was fixed.
- Fixed typo in description
- Fixed BattlEye path in startup command
- Wrapped extra startup parameters in quotations to prevent a malicious client from executing arbitrary bash commands on the container via a (potentially forced) Arma server application crash.
- Stop command no longer requires extra "C" and was fixed.
- Updated install script to check for valid Steam credentials (required for Arma 3) and removed an un-needed directory creation. Also made the Script Entrypoint Command more specific.
- Removed long gone depreciated startup variables (not even used in startup or entrypoint anymore).
- Added new egg
- Added README for egg
- Updated all directory READMEs (including fixing some style issues with `game_eggs\steamcmd_servers\README.md`)
Added "Disable Seasonal Events" startup variable and updated the startup command to add the new flag `-DisableSeasonalEvents` if the variable is "true". This new flag was added to Satisfactory in 0.5.1.4 (https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Patch_0.5.1.4).
"Max Players" var was defined as MAXPLAYERS, but referred as MAX_PLAYERS. Changed the definition instead of the startup command to keep it consistent with other steam games.
A new egg feature modal was introduced in Panel v1.7.0 triggering when server has run out of disk space to provide more user-friendly instructions to both admins and normal users. This is unique to SteamCMD specific errors.
- Adds the newly discovered `-multihome` flag to fix 0.5.0.6 update's IPv6 related issue, where the IP binds to IPv6 by default, causing a crash on boot. Server will now bind to IPv4 by default. As this is a hotfix, IPv6's possible support will be investigated at a later date.
- Adds the newly discovered `?listen` flag to the `-Port` flag to explicitly declare the port. This will prevent the server from possibly auto-incrementing the port if, for whatever reason, it thinks there's another Satisfactory server present in the same container.
Egg:
- Reverted the startup command so that the game port is the primary port and QUERY_PORT is the Server Query Port. I honestly think it will be confusing either way, so it's a wash for me; but ultimately, if Ptero calls the primary port the "Game Port" in Allocation Management, it should be Satisfactory's "game" port.
- Added the capability to override the server's default max players of 4. This consists of a new variable, default config file creation during install (because the server doesn't auto-create it), and a Configuration Files replacement on boot to accommodate variable changes.
- Reverted Game Port variable to Server Query Port variable.
- Changed port rules to use the more intuitive `between` rule.
README:
- Added Zarklord as a contributor.
- Added Max Players as an Egg Capability.
- Rewrote the Server Ports section (again) to accommodate the egg change and be as clear as possible.
- Added warning about stopping the server and saves.
- Added note to Minimum RAM Requirement that large saves can also cause excessive RAM usage.
- Updated Console Commands section with newly published Wiki information.
- Updated `steamclient.so` Wiki reference link (which will probably break again soon because the Wiki is being changed almost every hour now).

Egg:
- Changed the startup command to call the binary directly to avoid end-users changing the provided bash file to run whatever they'd like.
- Changed the install script to check that the server successfully installed, and makes the server binary executable. Also added Software-Noob as a contributor.
- Fixed the startup command to support custom ports. The SERVER_PORT variable is now tied to the Server Query Port (because that is what clients use to connect to the server). The GAME_PORT variable was added for the Game Port. Also changed the Game Port to use the correct flag.
- Changed the Server Query Port variable to be the Game Port and provided a better description.
- Updated the Beacon Port description to be more accurate. Also unlocked it's restriction to port 15000 because it can be changed now.
README:
- Updated any text mentioning restricted ports to text explaining their configuration. Also used clearer verbiage for the port table.
- Added Software-Noob as a contributor.
- Added info on "initializing"/"claiming" a server.
- Added info on the command line.
- Added "SDL" warning as a warning to safely ignore.
- Changed the Install Script Container to use Pterodactyl Debian Installer Yolk image.
- Removed the apt update code that is already handled by the installer image.
- Mentioned only one server can be run on Ptero due to the port limitation.
- Added mention that external ports must match internal ports (because the game client only looks for port 7777 at the moment)
- Removed them from view of the end user as they less relevant at the moment (because they cannot be changed from the defaults).
- Reworded the Beacon port's description to be more correct and clear.
- Temporarily restricted the Beacon port to 15000 because it currently cannot be changed.
- Fixed misinformation of required ports and made it clear that the default ports are currently required to be used for the server to work.
- Fixed typos.
- Updated the recommended RAM amount, based off an update to the developer's wiki made today.
* eggs(rust): disallow invalid characters for RCON
Do not allow invalid characters for RCON password that would break the connection, similar to original Rust egg.
* docs(rust-autowipe): Specify that wipe is performed on reinstall
* Changed server startup verification messaage
* Changed install container from mono to debian buster slim
* Changed install source to compiled mod instead of compiling it when installing the server
* Added the possibility to download the latest release from github (default)
* Added variables for the savegame format (SterilizerMode) and for the auto portforwarding (AutoPortForward)
* Added additional configuration parameters in the default config created by the install script
* Removed now unused packages from install script
Updates Ark Survival Evolved egg to fix some common issues and requests.
RCON Password is required for RCON to function and has been changed from nullable to required.
The option to disable RCON is removed because RCON is required.
Added additional arguments variable to resolve users' issues inserting them in the wrong place due to the complicated startup parameters.
Removed deprecated userInteraction and logs location from the egg.
- Changed the image to the new Pterodactyl yolks image.
- Removed the ability to specify custom server.cfg and basic.cfg file locations, because it only complicated things and was rarely changed from their default root location.
- Added the ability to specify a custom basic.cfg URL location for installation (in case it updates in the future).
- Added file parsing of the server.cfg to set the server password, max players, and ensure the headless client IPs are correct.
- Fixed the stop code to actually kill the server
- Adjusted the installation script to pull from the basic.cfg specified URL, and made the SteamCMD login command more robust against credentials with spaces or special characters.
- Rearranged variables to be better grouped/ordered (will only apply if the egg is reinstalled on the panel).
- Rewording of some variables' descriptions.
- Added "Number of SteamCMD Retry Attempts" variable.
- Added "Max Players" variable.
- Added "Server Password" variable.
- Added "Disable Mod Downloads/Updates" variable.
