BEFORE FIRST SERVER LAUNCH:
You will need to create your save file before you start the server, as the dedicated server REQUIRES a save file to be provided. This can easily be done using the --create command-line argument. For example:
cd factorio-server; ./bin/x64/factorio --create ./saves/kether.zip # This creates a new save, as if by clicking the New Game button in the GUI
UDP Port 34197 must be opened
Update/installation script usage:
- Update to Latest Stable (Default):
~/update_factorio.sh- Update to Latest Experimental:
~/update_factorio.sh -e
# or
~/update_factorio.sh --experimental
