#7979 Admin permissions are saved in savegames

[mavzor]

Hosts of games they load which were saved locally where they were not admin, have no admin rights when they load and newly host that savegame.

The previous host must join the new hosts game and promote the new host player.

That's how Factorio works. Loading a MP save locally doesn't change the fact it's a MP save.

If you want to override the permissions in the game you need to load it on a headless instance or use RCON - which has unrestricted access and ignores the permissions/admin system.

I'm trying to override the permissions of a public server map I saved locally for myself, and I can't figure out how to send commands to my headless server without already being an admin.

You enter the command directly in the server interface and not in the game.

This will reset all permissions to default:

Code: Select all

/permissions reset
