Thank you for the insider clarification Cube. For those who are itnerested in: A workaround is for 2) and 3) to connect to the server using its public address "12.34.56.78:34197" as well. Please be aware that routers may or may not have built in protection for " NAT Loopback " es...

You have to change your base to compensate for it. :cry: Ok, I may start a completly new factoryand maybe start a new Let's Play series. Hang in there m8, if anything you can still play the older version till your LP season ends - or you can see this as part of the evolvement the game is going thro...

There needs to be a protection from the people, who's ping is higher than settings set. Playing a public server like this is impossible, because there are always people connecting and crashing it :( Crashed again now. good idea, suggest it in the suggestions section? Something like: - A config opti...

Your scenario assumes that the port is a fixed number for all clients, which isn't the case. The port number is configurable. *mind blown* I thought every connecting client had to use the same port, if that is not the case simply change the configured port and port forward separately for the variou...

That's the whole point behind using ports and port forwarding, so the nat router knows where to send the traffic. I think the issue here is that Factorio itself doesn't deal with this very well. I'm by no means a networking guru - but, port forwarding is just that, a specific port forwarded to a sp...

Changing the port in the client definitely should work. I would use the original port for the headless server. Just to clarify; If you are behind a nat router, ie if multiple clients (I'm including the headless client here since it is by no means a server in this regard) on a local network attempt ...

I'm stuck in a desync-loop, a little while ago I started desyncing, and I've not been able to join since (after the desync-reconnect completes I'm thrown back into desync)

I'll pm Twinsen and ask where to upload the reports seeing he alreay got a few from last night.

To the people that played on the server: I'm really impressed with the base you've been building. I've not expected to see such a big base just after 1,5 days on an actual public server that anyone can join. Thank you for making this experiment - sure was a fun time and a real blast playing. r.i.p ...

For those interested, the server seems to be hosted in France.

was fun =) thnx for this <3

EDIT*
Can't connect back in tho, is that you blocking me samsam?

EDITx2
Never mind, its back up - wohoo
