Restart same map on headless server

Post by TheEPOCH »

Hello,

i have running a linux headless Factorio server. Now I want to start my factory with a new try from the very beginning, but I want to keep the map I am currently playing.

Which are the right arguments to restart the server while keeping the map?

Thanks, Fabian

The way I would do it is:
  1. Join the server & save the game to my non-headless copy.
  2. Go to the main menu & copy the map exchange string from the “load game” menu. (top right before loading, next to delete, replay, & sync mods buttons.)
  3. Create a new save with the exchange string.
  4. Upload the save to the server.
