Factorio Forums

Been working on this for a bit, figured I should release it into the wild and let other people play with it too. This is a simple factorio lobby program. It allows you to register as a "host", which puts your game name up on a server (mine). Users can view the list, and then join games (with a password if required). The application then auto-launches factorio and connects to the game with a single click.

This application is VERY alpha, and has only been in development for two weeks, so bugs are expected. Don't blame me if it blows up your house or burns down your computer. You are free to use and abuse the source code within the limitations of the GPLv2 license.

I recommend compiling it yourself (in either Linux, OSX, or Windows) from source:

If this is not an option, then feel free to download my builds.

Binaries are available for Windows:

(You may also need MSVC2010 redistributable, available via microsoft's website)
The large size is due to the graphical library I'm using, Qt, having a rather large localization database built in. I will be recompiling this out at a later point to bring the size way down.

And Ubuntu 14.04, x64:

11 days later it is released, Been waiting to see it

Doesn't seem to be much interest. I started playing with adding chat capabilities and mod version verifying, hopefully push something up this weekend.

This is great, since the game doesn't have a lobby system yet. Nice work!

I'm getting a 404 error.

Sorry I should have updated the post. There doesn't seem to be much interest so I stopped working on it, took down the downloads to save bandwidth on the server. It was getting a ton of downloads, but no real use.

How about a torrent?

Well, just because it is not really used, doesn't mean it's a bad idea. The Factorio multiplayer is in an early stage. People will certainly use it as soon as the multiplayer is more stable.
And every project has low usage at an early level. Use leave it here and people will maybe use it more.
