Every game server you add gets its own page. It's part of your community page: players see it on your page's Servers tab, with your community's look, header and tabs around it. It shows whether the server is up, who's playing, the map and mods, your savegame's prices and contracts, and reviews. Your staff see a few extra cards on the same page to manage the server.
Before you start#
- Add the server first. See Add your game server.
- Players only see the page once your community is listed. Turn that on in Community listing. Until then, only your staff see the page, with a note saying why.
- Some parts need your community's supporter tier: the interactive map, farm stats and player tracking details. See Premium.
Find your server's page#
| Address | When |
|---|---|
Community/@your-name/servers/ plus the server ID | The page's own address, under your community page. On the community domain it's your-name.fsg.gg/servers/ plus the ID. |
Server/ plus the server ID or short name | Older links and the bot's links. They forward to the address above once your community is listed. If it isn't listed (or Farm Sim Game staff hid it), the same page shows here in the FSG Classic look instead. |
…/servers/{id}/players | The server's Players page. |
From your dashboard: open Game servers and click the server's page link, or open your community page and pick the server on the Servers tab.
Some sections (Activity & uptime, My stats, Active mods, the player numbers and Played here this week) load a moment after the page. If one can't load, it shows a Try again button.
What players see#
The main column, from top to bottom:
| Section | What it shows | Set it in |
|---|---|---|
| Header | Your listing picture, the server's icon and name, the game, a lock with Password when the server has one, players online (3/16) or Offline, and who's on right now (a shield marks admins). Badges such as Fresh save, Featured, Trending, Verified, New, Seasoned and the share of Farm Jobs players who recommend it. | Edit server › Listing (picture, icon) |
| Server info | Name in game, game, password, map, map size, location, number of mods and your specialties. | Read from your Link XML, plus Edit server › Listing |
| About this server | Your description, if you wrote one. | Edit server › Listing |
| Activity & uptime | The last 7 days: uptime, players online on average, most players at once, the usual busiest time, an hourly chart in the visitor's own time zone and an uptime bar. | Measured by Farm Sim Game. You can't change these numbers. |
| Map | An interactive map of your farmland and fields. | Needs the interactive map supporter feature. It appears once FSG has your map picture. |
| My stats | For signed-in players linked to a player on this server: their playtime, this week, sessions, rank, last seen, farms and recent sessions. See Player stats. | Link players from the Players page |
| Farms | Each farm with a Stats button. | Needs the farm stats supporter feature, savegame scanning and public farms. See Farm stats and claims. |
| Price Watch | Which crops and products sell best this month. Signed-in players add what they sell to a watch list (up to 30 items across all servers) and get a notice in its best month. | Needs savegame scanning |
| Save data | Cards for Game Settings, Great Demand, Contracts Board, Price Calendar, Used Equipment Lot, Server Progress, Forestry and Market Report. Each card only shows when your save has that data. | Needs savegame scanning |
| Active mods | Every mod loaded, with a link to ModBarn where the mod is listed there. | Hidden when your mods aren't public |
| Reviews | Players' ratings and reviews of the server. | — |
The sidebar:
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Community | Your community's name and logo, with Community page and Join Discord (when you set an invite). |
| Status | Online or Offline, players online and when the server last answered. |
| Equipment on the map | Where the farm equipment is. Click it to zoom. Only when FSG has drawn one. |
| Players | On now, players this week and players ever, with See all players. |
| Server stats | The server's rank in the server list, views, reviews and rating. |
| Played here this week | Players seen in the last few days. |
| Server activity | The latest events from this server's feed (online, offline, joins, leaves and so on). |
| More servers | Your community's other servers. |
| Socials & sharing | Join our Discord, Our website and Mods download (from your listing's links for players), plus share links and Copy link. |
Signed-in players also get a Subscribe button at the bottom to get notices about the server.
What your staff see#
Staff of the community (owners, Discord managers and website staff whose role can see Game servers) get extra cards. Most of them only show while this community is your active community in Manage Community. If you run several, switch to this one first (Switch on the dashboard's community card).
| Card | What it does | Who |
|---|---|---|
| We can't reach your server's Link XML. | A red notice at the top when FSG can't read your server's stats, with Update it here. | Managers |
| Manage server | When FSG last read your Link XML (green when under about a minute) and your savegame (green when under 30 minutes, or Disabled), with Edit this server and Manage my servers. | Managers |
| Get found on FarmLink checklist | What's left to set up for Find a Farm and farm claims. | Staff who can edit game servers |
| Server Power Manager | Start, restart and stop the server, and turn auto boot and maintenance mode on and off. | Managers, Gold or higher. See Power manager. |
| Ranking scores | How your rank is worked out: uptime, reviews, rating, views, Premium, players this week and today, and the total. | Managers |
| Players & tracking | Opens every player's sessions, playtime and routes on the map. Without a supporter tier, this card links to the tiers instead. | Staff |
| Check if it's back online | Shown on the Status card when the server is offline. FSG reads your Link XML straight away and, if the game answers, marks the server online again. The page reloads by itself once it's back. | Staff who can edit game servers |
| Only staff see this | Shown instead of the Community card while your community isn't public, with Set up Community listing and Edit the community page. | Staff who can edit the listing |
FSG checks every server about once a minute. A server that's been offline for 48 hours, or whose Link XML answered "not found" 10 times in a row, is no longer checked by itself, so press the button (or save the server on Edit server) once it's running again.
Players page#
See all players (or Open players & tracking for staff) opens …/servers/{id}/players.
Everyone sees:
- On now, Players this week and Players ever.
- The player list, with Search players and sorting by Last seen, Playtime or Name.
- On the server now and Latest sessions, live players first.
- Any player's playtime, rank and sessions.
Staff of a community with any supporter tier (Bronze or higher) also see Details for staff only:
- More numbers: sessions and time played this week and ever, and sort by Played this week and Sessions.
- Each player's farms, idle time and average session.
- Where they went: the session's route on the map, with playback at 1×, 4× or 10×, distance, vehicles used, every saved position and Download CSV. Routes are kept for 30 days.
- Sessions with From and To dates.
- FSG member: type an FSG username and click Link member (or Unlink). The player then sees their own stats under My stats on your community's servers.
More in Player stats and tracking on the server page and Player tracking.
Troubleshooting#
Players say the page isn't available#
Your community isn't public yet. Turn on listing in Community listing. Staff see "Players can't see this page right now" at the top of the page until then.
The page shows Offline but the server is running#
- Press Check if it's back online on the Status card.
- If it stays offline, check your Link XML on Edit server › Listing › Server Urls. See Add your game server.
- Set Web API Interval [sec] to
60on your dedicated server.
Price Watch, the save data cards or the farms are missing#
They come from your savegame. Turn on savegame scanning on Edit server › Listing under Server Access and Savegame, and give it up to 30 minutes. The Manage server card shows when the savegame was last read. Farms also need the farm stats feature and public farms.
The map doesn't show#
The interactive map needs a supporter tier with the map feature. With it, the map appears once FSG has fetched your map's picture. Open the page again a little later.
I don't see the Manage server or Power cards#
Make this server's community your active one in Manage Community, then reload the page. The power card also needs Gold or higher.
My stats says my account isn't linked#
Ask the server's staff to link your in-game player to your Farm Sim Game account on the Players page, or with the bot in their Discord.
