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

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.

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?

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.

My Factorio folders look like a mess now
You should probably delete %appdata%\Factorio to be safe.

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 ...

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 trees and ...

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

Hello everyone, I have Factorio on Steam and much to my disappointment I've found that it is impossible to play the game and run the server.bat file at the same time. I would like to be able to play on my own headless server with the same computer running it.

I think this issue was talked about ...

Ah, thank you for clarifying. Also I took your advice and set up a conveyor system for the red and green science packs.

Hello everyone, I have a save file here where I have a factory automating red and green science packs where the inserters are not inserting items like they should be. There are clearly open item slots and the inserters are simply not doing their job. I have had this issue a few times across multiple ...
