Spiritual Successor of the Legendary FactorioBox - Factorio Bench

[gujarat6]

Hello, engineers!

Earlier this year, FactorioBox - one of the best community-hosted Factorio benchmarking projects - went permanently offline. It was a shame to lose such a useful resource, so I decided to build a spiritual successor:
https://factoriobench.com/

Using archived pages from the Wayback Machine, I recovered as many historical maps and benchmark results as possible. Not everything survived, so maps whose files could not be recovered remain visible but are marked as missing and read-only until someone reuploads the original save (65 out of 761).

Factorio Bench currently offers just about the same thing as the FactorioBox did:
- Historical FactorioBox results and maps

- Ability to upload new maps

- Windows and Linux benchmarking scripts

- CPU rankings and searchable results

- Version-aware comparison maps

- A minimal, readable interface without accounts or unnecessary features, same as before

The scripts run the benchmark using an isolated, mod-free Factorio environment, display everything that will be submitted, and ask for confirmation first. Feedback and testing would be greatly appreciated. Also keep in mind this runs on a minimal server, so it might choke if we all open it at once.

If you have any missing FactorioBox saves, please upload them, the exact original file can restore its archived map entry and make it usable again.

Dang I didn't realise it went offline, I used it myself quite a bit when testing new CPUs in the office and the build servers,
Thanks for keeping it alive, and if you feel too much burden please reach out and perhaps we can help in an official capacity

EDIT: I tried to upload my 2.0 save but I guess space age is not supported?: https://factoriobench.com/uploads/12980 ... da16f60036

Yeah, I was very surprised to see it completely gone. Good thing tools like waybackmachine exist, so I could recover some data at least.

Regarding the bug: The fix is on the way, seems like it was a small parsing bug.
This is now done: https://factoriobench.com/uploads/12980 ... da16f60036
Map is here: https://factoriobench.com/map/677f092e4 ... febbf82ba7

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! And also thank you for the support proposal. Right now the website is hosted on a small VPS, and seems like it's doing fine. I think the only issue we might run into is if someone uploads an enormous map and it completely saturates the RAM of the machine, but that's something yet to happen, and I will act accordingly. No need to take any actions now
