[Public|EU] OFFLINE Dedicated Server with Crash Detection

[Bisa]

I'll be offline until further notice, a bit short on cash and to much work irl - stay subbed to this topic to know when I'm back in business again.

Following the success of daniel34's test server I've set up a dedicated Factorio MP server open to the public.

Before you join:
[list]
[*]Check your internet - if it takes you more than 2+min to download the map, just spare others the trouble and don't play here (when you download the map the game is paused preventing others from playing)
[*]Please consider joining us via IRC in [url=irc://irc.esper.net/#playfactorio]#playfactorio[/url] at esper.net
[*]Hop on TS3 at our public server ([url=ts3server://play.factorio.nu?port=9987]play.factorio.nu[/url])
[*]For a (very) crude status page, check out https://play.factorio.nu/ (generated based on status from my log parser)[/list]

Server details:[list]
[*]Version 0.13.13 of Factorio
[*]IP: play.factorio.nu
[*]Location: Europe, or southern Sweden to be precise
[*]Password: LUTFISK[/list]

Mods:
[list]
[*]FARL 0.5.33 https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Choumiko/FARL/downloads
[*]Rail Tanker 1.3.32 https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Choumiko ... /downloads

Curiosa:

Hey m8, welcome

[Davidin]

Lets try this server

This map turned out to be a nice challenge! =) We've run into a situation where coal is limited and has to be transported via rail to the main base.
Come join us at play-factorio.tk

Hi, pelase give me some more context - when did you try to conenct to my server? (I cannot find your entry in the logs)

EDIT*
Actually, you seem to be trying to connect with version 0.12.0 while the server is running 0.12.1 (I'm updating the initial post to include the version)
Try updating to 0.12.1 and re-connect

I cant connect to the server it says IP address is invalid. really need some help

[Okeanos]

works fine here , im lagging when certain peoples connected though but i guess its the peer-to-peer setup we have to blame that on

If you're being dropped from the game while joining, please be considerate to the active players and don't try to rejoin continuously. It's usually not an issue with the server or Factorio, but a bad internet connection. Waiting every few minutes for someone downloading 5-10 MB at less than 50 kB/s is really painful. And even if they manage to join eventually, the lag is usually too bad to play.

Ensure you type in "play-factorio.tk" wihout any spaces or extra characters, if it still does not work, try 91.123.202.17

Fair point, I'm afraid not everyone understands this so I will attempt to implement a kind of automatic ban on anyone who tries to create connections to frequently.

Thank you for playing everyone, I've reset the map with a little friendlier resource settings
(turns out if you have a public server not everyone knows to use resources efficiently and you can pretty much run out)

I might not be on to update the server tonight (if they release a new version)
but feel free to play on 0.12.1 until I get to it tomorrow - happy biter mashing!

[Bisa]

wohoo, it's here - and the server has been updated, come join the funz

[Bisa]

This kinda proves my point
Luckily we have plenty of resources this time around

Lol nice. I should've taken a screenshot of the 50 storage chests holding a total of over 300k copper ore on my server.

Hi forums,
first this is a great server and i had lot of fun playing on it but since the update to 1.22 and the reset the server is lagging if i connect.
Now the strange thing i have 25 mbits download and about 5 mbits upload (a little bit less) also if i ping the server is have mostly 69 ms ping. But other people on the server can prove that after i join lag is starting to happen.
I did everything possilbe (restarted my computer, factorio and my router and checked my network traffic with a programm and even with no other devices in my network and no up or download there is still lag. Now i wanted to ask you Bisa if you maybe could look in the server logs to see if its maybe a server side problem. One problem is also noticed is that if constantly ping the server that he sometimes (after ca. 10 pings) he refuces my conenction or something like that. I hope this problem can be fixed because i rly like the server.
