FactorioMMO

FactorioMMO is a community and a team behind it, who run regular multiplayer public events with lot's of people in Factorio - hence the "mmo" part in the name.
We are mostly based in Europe and most of our events are runned in the European time zones. We are looking for active members to cover US time zones and Pacific regions.
Our scheduled events usually gather between 50 and 100 people, we also run unscheduled games in the evenings when there is enough interest - those can gather from 7-10 people up to 20-30 at times.
On occasion we also run competitive scenarios with 2 teams, each playing on their own server: "Alien Research Inc." vs "Tree Preservation Initiative".
We try to vary the types of games we run, think of different goals, do scenarios or go for hard mode achievements - for example, we launched a rocket in 3 hours 43 minutes.

Our rules are simple:
Basically: Don't be a dick, and communicate with people. Don't destroy other peoples creations unless you're improving them and explain to people WHY your method is better.
We keep a global ban list and we have admin tools (thank you 3RA for sharing!) to deal with greifers even if we don't catch them red handed in the act.

How to find us

Our main communications medium and voice communication is through our Discord server.

Great job on the server. Personally I had a lot of fun :)

The amount of good-will players on the server pushes the teamwork to the best possible.

Thanks, we try our best. And the single rule we have helps a lot, and we are enforcing it :)

Banned for AFK
Yesterday I was playing on FactorioMMO and I went to feed myself :D
When I returned I saw that i was kicked for AFK
I tried to reconnect and i was waiting about 10 minutes
I bombed. I closed factorio and opened it.
Again this sh*t
After 2 tries When i was entering the lobby it showed me that i was banned

Yeah, we had to do that because something went wrong and you trying to connect send everything into a desync loop. We had to restart the server eventually because it was a snowball effect.
Try now, I have removed the ban. But next time if you get a desync - disconnect and try from scratch, don't wait for Factorio to go through it's 3 cycles - on big maps that does take 15-20 minutes.
