Factorio Forums

Not really wanting to get into a discussion of whether it should be done, I am going to try regardless cause why the heck not.
The questions is more in terms of I am trying to set up a headless distro of Centos OS in order to run Factorio.

Looking over it, it appears that the pi has the stats for it, just about.

Has anyone else tried it?
What was your milage?

It has an ARM processor so no it will not run on it.

As far as I know Raspberry Pi uses ARM CPU and there is no build of Factorio for ARM.

Not my personal milage, but prg tried to run it on x86 emulator on RPi 1, it took 4 hours for the game to start: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=18128&start=30#p119301

I am talking about running it as headless server only, no graphics.

There's still no ARM build (and there probably can't be).

Anyone try on a Raspbbery PI 3? I ask given the pi 3 supports x64, and i seen the success of running factorio on the pi 2 from this thread.

Was hoping to get it running on the pi3 since the pi 3 b+ specs are as follows

ARM Cortex A53 which is clocked at 1.4 GHz 64-bit and its a Quad-Core Processor, 1 GB RAM

Pi3b is arm64 based and we don't have an arm build. Maybe in the future with amazon pushing arm servers but nevertheless the pi has to little ram, too.

Yeah i seen that, with the success of seeing it barely functional on the pi 2 model though was wondering what the difference in a pi3 model would make with more robust specs on the cpu front. The Ram though... i don't know how ill beable to compensate for that overall. But yeah wanted to see how i could get it running. Thanks for the response by the way

Run it in QEMU but it would be unusable!

Thats okay just seeing if their is a way to make it more stable even if in a emulated environment it wasn't designed to run in. Thank you!
