What game did I play - multiplayer memory

Yesterday morning I was browsing around in the public multiplayer games (searched for "Password: No" and "Mods: No") just to kill some time before I had to run some errands.

I had a couple of "false starts" on games where they were not accessible (0.0.0.0:3284 not accessible, etc.) but then hit on a game that happened to be at an early stage of the game (no blue science yet, etc.) and I joined in, and spent 45 minutes helping set things up, and it was a good game, with people cooperating nicely, and looked like it would have great potential.

I then had to bail and do some chores, but came back a couple of hours later, and I had no idea of what game I was playing..... I could not re-join.

So, question: Is there a way to find out what games you have (recently) played?

In single-player, your last save is automatically selected when you try to load a game, but there's nothing like that for multiplayer games.... or is there?

commenting to follow :)

I had a similar experience a few weeks ago, and I'd love to know how to prevent that!

There might be a better file to look in, but give this a go - it might only work for last session, doesn't look like a log with much history:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\factorio-previous.log

do Ctrl-F to find the word "joining" and you might get an IP address for last game you joined

Also found IPs in player-data.json but couldn't join them
