My Steam will not update Factorio, that's the only problem.

EDIT: Alright I updated to the latest version and the same thing is still happening. I will attach the log file.

Hello everyone, I have been working on getting a private headless server set up for awhile now -- browsing the forums for help -- and everything is in working order, except for one thing: When players connect, the server logs show that there are two connection attempts that seemingly cancel each oth...

I try not to install mods unless I absolutely have to. I'd rather play vanilla Factorio.

KoblerMan

If I recall correctly, Bisa, don't you have a server that I could try joining?

KoblerMan

Sure can. Take a look.
EDIT: Sorry it's kind of a long log. I let a couple people from the IRC try to join while I was troubleshooting.

I'm getting activity in my server's cmd window when my friend tries to connect but other than that they are unable to connect. I know it can't be an issue with my router because I have forwarded ports for other games and I know how to do it. To answer your questions: - I forwarded 34197, the default...

KoblerMan

I have forwarded the correct ports for Factorio. I'm not familiar with NAT setups though.

KoblerMan

Awesome, I can connect with my local IP. Now I just need my friend to get on so they can test it too.

EDIT: Nope. "Following peers are not responding: Unknown username"

KoblerMan

Is there a way I can synchronize the two saves folders so that I don't have to drag and drop all the time?

KoblerMan

Here, have a look at it. Says something about "shutting down" in there but I don't know much about Factorio log files.

KoblerMan

Alright. The issue was that I had the files that I was editing open while I was trying to run the server. All of the values are in order now, but when I open the server it appears to minimize or close immediately and I cannot connect to it with my client using my local IP OR my internet IP.

KoblerMan

Ok, I did that and it returned the entire config file. However, as you suggested might be the case, I didn't see /server at the end of the write data path.

I'm not sure I understand. Where do I type this?

KoblerMan

My server's command window looks like this:

Code: Select all

0.002 Write data path: C:/Users/Ryan/AppData/Roaming/Factorio

Does the "Write data path" in the output when you start the server contain what you expect?

That's just the issue, I really don't know what to expect.

Hello, I am interested in running a headless server and playing on the same PC, I have Steam and I have followed all of the steps that posila has outlined. I am STILL getting the error message "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". I don't underst...

I tried all of that and all I'm getting is the same error.

Hello everyone, I have been having nothing but problems since trying to play this game in multiplayer with a friend. I am familiar with forwarding ports for games like Minecraft, Terraria, and Risk of Rain, and I have the proper ports for Factorio forwarded, so I don't need help with that. My proble...

There is an extremely easy way to beat this level (IF you're willing to cheat a bit). First, spawn a tank into your inventory by pressing ~ and entering: /c game.local_player.insert{name="tank", count=1} This will give you a tank which has 5 times the health of a car and can smash through ...

KoblerMan

If you want to do that, you have to change the portfor the client side of Factorio. Maybe this can help : https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=13634&start=10#p93014 [Edit] : this one is even better : https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=20811#p130869 The second l...
