Factorio Forums

Hi,
I'm trying to update my headless server from 0.18.47 to 1.0.0 using narc0tiq's update script, but it says 'no updates available'.
After a bit of detective work I've found out, that it is because https://updater.factorio.com/get-available-versions returns no path from 0.18.47.
The only valid path to 1.0.0 is from 0.17.79 (which is the previous stable version).
Do you plan on adding 0.18.47 to 1.0.0 path to your API or should I just bite the bullet and update manually?

I couldn't wait and downloaded the latest headless 1.0.0 and just updated my old version with rsync This will copy all files from 1.0.0 and overwrite them in your existing version!
I did not check change-logs / configs for breaking changes!

So far it is running fine, I could connect and logs are clean.
Will play some more later tonight or tomorrow.

Code: Select all

# make sure all files have newer timestamp for rsync --update option
$ find factorio/ -type f -exec touch {} +
$ rsync -av --update factorio/ /opt/factorio

This will copy all files from 1.0.0 and overwrite them in your existing version!

You really do not want to ever do what you just did. *DELETE* the existing files and then place the new ones in. Otherwise you fail to delete files that should be deleted and will cause issues.

Yeah in hindsight i should have just saved my configs and removed my old version and used the new version as is... this was the quick and dirty lazy mans way

I am seeing the same issue, there is currently no path from 0.18.47 to 1.0.0 on https://updater.factorio.com/get-available-versions

So only manual full updates from 0.18 to 1.0 right now? For how long?

Hi, I apologize, the update from 0.18.47 should be available now.
