Update
stopped running the server as root, perhaps this will solve the stability issueMain
Hi!I've recently decided (yesterday
) to move a multiplayer listenserver savefile to a dedicated server.It's a generally new map (70 or so hours) with a negligible filesize.
We're 3 players and have not had any issues while we've been playing while hosting from ingame from my own pc.
I created a google cloud VM, Ubuntu 18.04 and downloaded the latest stable (https://factorio.com/get-download/stabl ... ss/linux64) and opened ports etc.
I read about non-blocking saving and decided to try it from the get go. The server crashed within hours and i figured "highly experimental" so meh it was expected.
I disabled the feature and booted it back up, and it was left running since 16:25 yesterday and today i got a text that the server again was down.
I googled "headless crash", "factorio headless crash" "factorio server crash" etc but it doesn't seem to common that the servers go down.
My experience from the game-client is that the game almost never crashes and i also se servers with thousands of hours logged and i am thus wondering what to do.
Are linux headless generally stable? Any ideas as to what is causing this?
These are the last savegames - Notice the timestamp discrepancy
It would seem the last autosave was 01:59 yet the "main" file is saved 03:10 ?
