Factorio Forums

I've just started playing this game and I loved it a lot, so I decided to make a server on my old (linux-ubuntu) laptop to play it with my friends.
After some searching I found a factorio headless server for 1.1.35 on Snap. It came out just 6 days ago so I couldn't find any info about how to use this(there may be some idk). I looked at the wiki and some tutorials and this new headless server seemed different and it didn't help. I managed to run the server because it came with a 'how to use' and it was fairly easy to make it.

However I still don't know how to deal with maps. like map generation options or using an already saved map, I couldn't find json or lua files for these configurations. Any help would be appreciated.

p.s. I wonder why I can't find any info about this particular headless server, is it because it's new or am I missing something?

What info is available on earlier versions that is lacking for 1.1.35? Isn't the info on the wiki enough and up to date?

Easiest way is to start a single player game, set the map up as you prefer (water/resources/biters etc) Save the game, and then upload the saves/ and /mods/ folders to your server.

Other way is to edit the files directly, check out map-gen-settings.example and map-settings.example in the data/ folder.
