Running 2.0.9 Server w/o Space Age

Hey everyone,

A couple of days ago, I set up a headless AWS server following this guide: https://github.com/m-chandler/factorio-spot-pricing. I managed to get everything up and running just fine, but with the release of Space Age, everything immediately shut down and I haven't been able to get it running since. The issue seems to stem from the fact that I do not own the DLC just yet as my friend and I want to play through the game at least once without it before restarting and moving over to a new Space Age world.

At this point, the server should be working fine. I've made sure the ImageTag is set to 2.0.9 (I'm unable to get it to revert to 1.1.110 in AWS), my game version is fully updated, no mods are installed, the instance is spun up and running fine, etc. As I join the server, I get hit with an error saying "Your active mods don't match the server's. Do you want to sync your mods with the server?" After clicking Synchronize, I get a box that shows I have 'base' installed but not 'elevated-rails', 'quality', and 'space-age. After clicking Next the game restarts and the same error message persists.

My mod-list.json folder only has the base game "mod" set to true. I've uploaded the same .json to the server also, so they should be communicating with each other just fine. I've also tried updating the mod-list.json so it includes 'base', 'elevated-rails', 'quality', and 'space-age' with 'base' set to true and everything else set to false. The same error occurs.

I'm at a loss at this point. I've been trying for the past two days to find a solution to no avail, so I'm hoping someone here has some sage advice for me on how to proceed from here.

Please create a a fresh save game without the Space Age mods and upload it to your server.

I've tried this as well :/ still gives the same error message.

Is there anything in the config I should be disabling to prevent DLC content?

It seems your setup is using the factoriotools docker image which added support for configuring space age support recently: https://github.com/factoriotools/factor ... -variables
