[Vanilla|0.14|US] SUG Dedicated Server

[devilwarriors]

Some of them have fast internet and are fine with me, it's just that some have ridiculously slow internet, take 5-15 min to load the map and don't care that the game run at like 5 fps while they play and that just ruin it for everyone.. it would be nice to block those.

But yeah some of them were saying that they just don't have a server for them and that it was why they were still player despite the lag.

So yeah a European server would be nice.

Yeah downloading the map is sometimes stupid slow for some reason. Idk how factorio handles it's download connection but when I can download the same map using FTP at 4x the speed it bothers me.

Regarding the EU players I'm currently looking into setting one up once I find a decent hosting provider. It will mirror this server settings wise.

As I've stated before I currently don't have access to a computer so I can't promise anything right away. If players are constantly connecting and doing so in a trolling matter please pm me their name. I head back home next week and I'll start work on a admin panel at that time. The EU server may or may not come before then I'm not sure. For now I apologize for the lag.

I'm in Montreal and it usually let me downloads the map super fast at 2.4 mb/sec so it's not much of an issue for me

I have reactivated my server: [Public/Europe] Dedicated Server [0.12.22/Vanilla]

The server was shut down for a few months because I didn't have the time to admin it. Let's just see how it goes this time. Should I not have enough time/commitment to the server, I will donate it to NoPantsMcDance so he can run a european server on it
It is actually a virtual server on a dedicated server of mine, but it automatically gets the full resources if it needs it. Right now there are just a few web pages and some web services / private projects on it and they don't need much resources, most of the time the server is idle anyway.

Well glad to see your server back up. If you can't manage it I can either buy a server or you can set me up a vps on your dedi. Either way works. For now glad to have the EU server back up should help out a lot.

So a few days ago on this map, with zero research done, dozens of biters were swarming the spawn, and we were being killed in seconds.

I had to scratch the ground with my bare hands to get enough ore to make a pick-axe.
Just now, I launched the first rocket.

Kudos to everyone that helped build it

What a trip it has been!

My god there is no balance with you guys lol. Set it hard and it's too hard set it to normal and you guys send out rockets in a day.

EDIT: I think I'm going to put the modded server back up soon with a edited version of marathon and see how that goes. Will be for you gents that are looking to take a month to launch a rocket.

Even on a "Vanilla" server I think I'd still prefer to see RSO added. It makes things more enjoyable and you need to expand and use trains more to get that rocket off the ground. Maybe try a Vanilla+ where RSO is the only mod?

The reason it's set up this way is because there is no current automatic mod downloading system. This server is designed in a way where a new player can just type in the ip and hop on no other setup required. It's not the point of what mods we use it's the point of having to set them up. I want all players to be able to enjoy factorio in a multiplayer environment.

Regardless the entire reason my server with mods was shut down was because of low interest. People don't like to have to always check the forum post and redownload an entire mod pack everytime there is an update. Now that there is starting to be a larger interest in multiplayer again I'll spark the mod server back up so we can get a community going.

I never intended the vanilla server to have a large playerbase but I do intend on it cycling thru players which is has done wonderfully. My main goal of the server network I'm trying to establish is for the vanilla server to teach players the basics of the game learning together with other players then if they're looking for something more check out one of the other servers I have available.

Factorio uses little to no resources so I could easily have multiple servers online. I'd be more than happy to do so but the demand for them has to be there. Every player wants a different mod setup which turns into a very niche playerbase.

Understood.

v13 I think will allow downloading of mods from the server you connect to, which will be cool.

I'm very much looking forward to 0.13 with automatic mod downloading and the server browser.

Pff!! it took several of us several days, and was a good experience =) 13 rockets launched to date.

Finite Water

if you do finite water I suggest you install either the terraforming mod or the barreling mod, or both.

https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... php?t=7887
The barrelling mod allow you to put liquid like water in barrel so you can carry water from far away in train when you deplete the water near the base.

https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 93&t=15038
The terraforming mod also add barrel, but only for water. They are compatible with each other.
It also allow you to build bridges and moat as sort of impassable wall around your base.

Better steel furnace
has 2 input so you can accept both iron and copper without them jamming. Allow you to be able to have both ore on the same conveyor and furnace setup. So you dont have to botter with separating trains and all.

Alright quite a large list there. So I realized that on my phone I can't actually download all these and zip them. Basicly if you want the mod server up you're going to have to either wait a week or download all the mods zip them then upload them somewhere I can wget them on my server or somewhere i can download the zip to my phone then upload it to the server. Man not having access to a computer sucks.

Do I join marathon mod to that list, what modification where you planing on doing to it?

Naw leave marathon out for now. We'll try this setup and see what happens.

Having trouble connecting right now... I can ping the server, but factorio doesn't appear to be running.
