Local factorio server (LAN) Win10

[JePeSWE]

Hello
I have tried most of the ideas in this forum about a dedicated factorio server, but with no good results.

This is what i would like to do:

1. Factorio server (headless) on a win10 machine, in this case a laptop.
2. Headless server in my appartment only, no need for external access.
3. Server is running even when i quit the game, possible.?
4. Continue a save game from my singelgame.
5. All of my mods loaded.
6. Is this possible to do, all of the above on win10?

Think this is it.

Hi,

You should get all the answers from this wiki page

1. It shouldn't matter which version of windows you are running,
2. Copy your current factorio folder to the laptop, using the same folder structure
3. If you have ever set up a game to run in a non-default folder with mods and saves in that folder, just setup the same on the laptop,
   • In case you didn't set up a game to be non-default:
   • download a .zip copy of the game and install it to a folder (Say C:\Factorio_0.17)
   • From

     Code: Select all

      %appdata%\factorio

     folder copy the mods,config & saves folders

     maybe you just want the save you want to run to be in the saves folder - your choice - so just delete the others

   • Run the server as per the instructions in https://wiki.factorio.com/Multiplayer#D ... ess_server

This should get you started - post here on your success or if you have more questions

Edit: you can run the server from the same using those instructions as well

Thanks for the tip, i will try that out.

./bin/x64/factorio --start-server ./saves/my-save.zip # This starts a server that will host the file created on the previous line <--- is this done by a .batfile or from the commandline in the game?

/JePeSWE

It is done from either the command line or a .bat file - the game's command line is for game commands/Lua syntax

If you don't know what a docker is - why are you using it ? it's not for people not familiar with that technology, but good luck to you.

If you want to run a Factorio server on Linux that is possible too - again, good luck
