This might sound not rly understandable but I will put it as basic as I can.

Now I started the server and it started the live logging inside of the terminal where you can send commands to and chat with players on the server. But I accidentally closed the terminal.. how do I get that "live logging" back without restarting the server?

TY in advance, love Nuggat

Hi DTGFactorio,

hmm ... I assume you entered something like this:

Code: Select all

/your/path/to/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --start-server-load-latest

If you close that terminal, your server should shut down immediately.
Do you have any further scripts which handle Factorio?

All of your Logs are saved here:

Code: Select all

/your/path/to/factorio/factorio-current.log

To "go back to logging" you could use this:

Code: Select all

tail -f /your/path/to/factorio/factorio-current.log

If you're familiar with screen, this is even better:

Code: Select all

screen -S factorio-log tail -f /your/path/to/factorio/factorio-current-log

For user communication, I would use the server.fifo file, but that's another story.

Was this helpful?
Give me some quick feedback and if you have any further questions, just let me know.

Best regards,
