Hi
I try at the moment to create a bash script for updating my factorio server automatically on my windows root.

after 2 hours searching i found this command
factorio.exe --apply-update arg

but i did not work. I Try as test update a server from version 0.14.23 to the newest experimentel

Code: Select all

   2.191 Error Util.cpp:57: copy_file(p1, p2, options): invalid arguments: operation not permitted

what must I enter for arg ? or better what is the correct command for updating the server always to the newest experimantal version ?

I will not longer update the server complete manuelly, login on website, download the file, move to the correct dir, unzip...... this all needs to much time. I like to automatically this.

So, --apply-update expects path to one or more update packages as is used for testing updater changes.
You could mirror logic of in-game updater, and download packages from script (python script Loewchen posted is good reference).

I would recommand you to use Steam version for Windows headless server instead. You can use steamcmd to manage games from command line or scripts, so it should be much easier to do.
