Using Evolve with Headless?
Posted: Thu Nov 12, 2015 1:29 am
I like the idea of starting a private headless server for myself and a few friends. A server that "runs" on my computer constantly (starts automatically when the computer boots up) but with time stopped when nobody is logged on.
However, I use Evolve to play Factorio (and Civ 5 for that matter), as I've found that port forwarding often doesn't work. It seems to work, but no connection actually ever occurs.
Is that doable? Can I connect from my own computer to the server which runs on the same computer? If yes, how? I'm very new to Evolve. I found it super-easy to get to work with Factorio (and later Civ 5), but this also means that I basically don't understand how it works, so I'm worried there might be some complication that makes this headless usage impossible.
Also, what kick/ban options are currently available on headless? If any?
