[0.16.4] Public Server List and Server behind NAT?

Post by XGhozt »

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a problem on my end with the server configuration. I have a server online (viewtopic.php?f=53&t=55089 ) and it's listed in the public server list, but you cannot connect to it from the public server list join button. It works fine otherwise. The game tries to connect to "0.0.0.0" instead of the actual public IP.

The only thing I could think of would be that it's because the server is behind NAT. Are there other ports I need to open for that public server list to work?

Is there any way I can specifically tell the public server list what IP to use?

I have servers for other games that have in-game public server lists and I don't have this problem with those games. This is why I believe it might be a Factorio thing.

Any ideas?

you only need a single port.

are you able to disable outbound port mapping on the router?
that might fix it.
