Easily update factorio on windows server
Posted: Tue Jan 23, 2018 3:55 pm
Ok so I got this server with Windows on it and I use it to host a factorio server (with batch file).
Right now, if I want to update, here's the steps I do :
- Connect on the website and start the download of the lattest experimental for windows compressed (.zip)
- Extract the compressed files
- Move the Batch file and the ServerName.zip to the new factorio folder
- Update the batch files shortcut on the desktop and in the windows Startup option so the server restart incase windows crash
- Execute the Batch File to start the server.
It's a pretty long and painful process to be done remotely and I often end up moving my monitor on my server to help with the process.
Is there a better/easier/faster way to update a windows server?
EDIT : Just tried something, I can download the .EXE instead and directly install inside my old factorio folder. Seem to work fine and greatly redure the steps.
