I try to run a Factorio Server and a Factorio game on the same maschine and Yes it is possible
1. First make a Copy from your Factorio folder(I used the steam version: locatet in /Program fiels (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/factorio/)
2. open the copy and goto bin/x64/ and rename the Factorio.exe to FactorioServer.exe
3. open (root folder) with the editor the config-path.cfg
4. change the first line to config-path=config
5. start cmd and go into the copyed factorio folder (/bin/x64/) und run the FactorioServer.exe width the args --start-server
6. press STRG and C to close the server
7. open now the config.ini (is now located in bin/x64/config/)
8. change the first lines to
[path]
read-data=\[yourFactorioCopy]\data\
write-data=\[yourFactorioCopy]\data\
[general]
locale=\[yourFactorioCopy]\
(create a new map)
9. open cmd and run the server with --create saves/my-save.zip
10.start the server
with --start-server saves/my-save.zipStart the Factorio game in Steam and connect to server ->yourIP:34197 or on the same Computer 127.0.0.1:34197
