Factorio Forums

Hi guys,

I know there is a teamspeak for factorio but my teamspeak is for all kind of games. If you want to have a specific channel in the server, send me a PM and if your request is serious, I'll make it for you.

Info about the server:

SERVER IP: netzone-solutions.com
NO PASSWORD

-Running on a dedicated server in Montréal/Québec/Canada.
-500Mbps/500Mbps bandwidth on optic fiber.
-Server runs on 192Go RAM ECC and Xeon 2x E5-2670 @ 3.3 GHz.
-Teamspeak is protected by a bot.

I'm programming a standalone version of factorio running on Windows and using MySQL. This project is about 20% done.
When it will be done, I'll offer factorio server hosting, stay tuned.

Hi,

What exactly do you call :

I'm programming in C#, in a console application to establish a link between players without them to HOST the game. The way I'm doing it for the map and player infos: The path of users and map files information is stored in DB and giving the information to the remote users.

I would like to be able to store all the informations in DB tables, but I didn't find a way yet..

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve... are you trying to re-create the entire Factorio engine? This sounds like a lot of work, and to be honest, I fail to see the usefulness of such an implementation...

Or am I misunderstanding? What is the purpose of your server? Is it just a meta-server to help you find active hosts?

No, it's just information routing. The goal would be to have like 50 factorio "server" started on the server. Player will connect to an IP with a specific port. A console application will route the request from the clients to the "factorio server".

In this way, the bandwidth and the resources to connect/save/sync all the player is used by the server, not by a player that host the game.

Its not recreating the factorio engine, I just reroute the requests, processing it by the server and return the informations to clients.

I want to remove the host ressource cost for people does not have a good computer to host the game.

Ah, that makes more sense, but it still sounds a bit complicated, so I will wish you good luck
