Hi,
my headless server is running on a vServer.
The server has his own user : facrorio.
How can i restart the server without losing any data? I once tryed simple #restart as root but there was a data loss in the savegame.
How can i close the server to prevent this?

No one have an idea?
Right now the server does not save on the main savegame it uses only the autosave files.
When i now restart the server i must rename a autosave or change the the server start to an autosave file.
So is this a bug? Ore is your how to make make a server tut wrong?

If you close the server with CTRL+C or by sending SIGINT to it, it will save the game to the savename it started from and then quit.

CTRL+C will not work because its a process. How does SIGINT work? I never heard of it?!
Code: Select all
sudo -u factorio /usr/local/factorio/factorio/bin/x64/./factorio --start-server Neuland.zip
This is how i start the server.
This is the process.

will send the SIGINT signal to the process, making it save the game and then exit.
You can also use Bisa's
