Server of MacOS version

Post by huoshenlaile »

I am running the factorio server at a x86-64 mini PC now, as my map grows I need a stronger machine and I have a Mac mini (M2) that can be used for this. However, I only found the server version on x64 Linux, but not on ARM64 Macos, will there be an official server version in the future? or how to run the server version on MacOS with Apple Silicon? (I think since the game itself natively supports MacOS of Apple Silicon, it won't be hard to build a Server Version for Mac?)

You should be able to run the arm install in headless mode just like any other install with --start-server, see https://wiki.factorio.com/Multiplayer, you will need to change the directories though.
