[12.10] MP Dedicated Server not saving game
Posted: Sun Oct 11, 2015 4:15 pm
I run a 12.10 dedicated server (on windows 10) and when I shut down and restart the server, nothing has been saved. I have to go dig up an autosave to recover the server.
My startup file (start_dedicated_server.bat):
@Factorio.exe --start-server 2015_OCT_09_current.zip
@pause
I switch to the console and press Ctrl+C to shutdown the server and like 10 hours of playtime and the game is never saved back into "2015_OCT_09_current.zip".
For every relaunch, I have to manually go to the saves folder and move an _autosaveX.zip file over to that name (the 2015_OCT_09_current.zip) to pick up where we left off.
What am I doing wrong?
Right now, the best workaround is that I save the game on my client, and then copy that file over to the server the next time we launch so that there's no 1-2 minute rollback.
