Downloads page says "If you are running a server, you can use this link to always download the latest stable version."
Currently the link is https://factorio.com/get-download/stabl ... ss/linux64
So if you just

wget

it, it'll create

linux64

file, which is not unzippable by

tar -xz

Please change the recommended link to https;//factorio.com/get-download/stable/headless/linux64/factorio-stable.tar.gz so its use is more obvious

it's using xz for compression so you need to unpack it with

tar -xJf

and with -O

wget -O "myfavouritefilename.tar.xz"

you can set the name of the downloaded file.

Change the default headless link to contain `.tar.gz`
