After a few hours of play, I can say it's stable for us.

Well, the server crashed

After doubling the ram, it's running smoothly

Hi,

i've setup this docker image that includes RCON with a dedicated TCP port.

But I can't figure what it does exactly.

Any idea ?

Thanks,

I think I've read that it spawn a second factorio process to handle the save, the server needs to be linux or mac os x, and the windows client autosave is disabled.
Is there a need of addition UDP/TCP port to open ? (I dont think so)

Thanks for the feedback.
I'll enable the feature tonight and give it a try

Hi Guys,

Do you have feedback about the non blocking save feature ?

The blocking save is really annoying, so I would like to try this out.

Thanks,

Yes, currently it's using 2.5GB I think.

However, on my previous server, I let the game run for a several weeks, and the game seems to grow in memory footprint as soon we discover new area, ending consuming about 11GB of ram.

After a restart it went down to 2GB.

well, now there's a doc to create a factorio server on Google Cloud compute engine
I'll spend some time making it more readable and share it on my blog.

I'll try to change the resolution, but really, I just change the server, not the client, and I've a high end computer.

Ok, I've restarted the server (not running when we're not playing), and it works well. Didn't change anything...

Thanks for your help, I hope it will stay stable

I've 30FPS (because 30Hz 4k) 60 UPS on the old server.
on the E2, it was 28/58 or something.

So i was wondering if it was network related.

Thanks Loewchen,

I'm migrating from a private server where it was working correctly, could be better though.
the client were good (i9900, 16BG of RAM, 2080Ti, NVme...)

I'll try with C2 platform, but N2 is already very good.

Hi, I've managed to run Factorio Headless server on Google Compute Engine, Docker mode, and load my save game + mods and connect to it. I'm using this docker image : https://hub.docker.com/r/factoriotools/factorio here is the documentation I've made about it : (I'll make it readable later, when it w...
