Factorio Forums

Hello.
First of all, thank you for this amazing game. I'm headed to the "First impression" topic after submitting this one.

I set up a headless server at home to play with my newly-converted friends.
We deactivated the client-side autosaves.
And the wiki -- I would put a link but this is my first post so I can't.. I learned that when my first try for this post went to trash without notice -- says this :

Game is paused while there are no players connected
Saves the game on exit (and autosaves normally)

I really don't like the small save window popping out every two minutes or so.
Is there any way to deactivate the server-side autosave properly ?

Again, thank you very much in advance.

The server takes --autosave-interval and --autosave-slots parameters to change how often and how many autosaves will be done. Setting any of them to 0 will disable autosaves.

So, for examplewill give you a server that doesn't autosave.

Run factorio --help to see a list of all command line options.

I feel stupid for launching an executable without even trying to --help it. Something I never do.. it must have been the urge to play Factorio that distracted me !
Thank you very much for your swift response.
