Importing save to headless server on CentOS (bad zip file)
Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2018 8:31 pm
So last night I began getting a headless server running. I made a VM in Hyper-V with CentOS minimal installed in it. I installed the headless server. I setup the server settings.json file and created a factorio.service in /etc/systemd/system/. I (painfully) was able to get glibc installed but it was the wrong version so I had to build version 2.18 which took forever. I then took my save file from my Windows machine which has been running the game and renamed it to save.zip and uploaded it to Mediafire so I could wget it from CentOS. I ran wget to download the save file into the saves folder and tried to start the server but it says thats its a bad zip file. I tried renaming it to the name it was originally (Wichids Game.zip) but that didnt work either. I am able to load that save file in Factorio on my Windows machine and play on it but it wont load on the headless server running CentOS. Am I doing something wrong or is this something that is just not possible?
