Factorio Forums

I am one of those IT guys that scripts everything and thus wrote a script to update my factorio server. One thing that bugs me is the link. This is for the current version of factorio build up like this:
/get-download/0.15.10/headless/linux64

I would like to propose a scheme to do this easier for scripting:
/get-download/experimental/newest/headless/linux64
/get-download/stable/newest/headless/linux64

It would help a bit to automate this better. For now I scrape the download page and see what the newest version is.

An auto updater on the server would also be nice

I believe what you are asking for already exists. See this thread for further information.

Ah, so your passion for automation is not limited to Factorio.
