What is Factorio?
Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories.
You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies. Use your imagination to design your factory, combine simple elements into ingenious structures, apply management skills to keep it working and finally protect it from the creatures who don't really like you.
The game is very stable and optimized for building massive factories. You can create your own maps, write mods in Lua or play with friends via Multiplayer.
NOTE: This is only the server. The game is available on factorio.com or Steam.
Usage
Quick Start
Run the server to create the necessary folder structure and configuration files. For this example data is stored in /tmp/factorio
.
docker run -d -P -v /tmp/factorio:/factorio --name factorio dtandersen/factorio
For those new to Docker, here is an explanation of the options:
-d
- Run as a daemon ("detached").-P
- Expose all ports.-v
- Mount/tmp/factorio
on the local file system to/factorio
in the container.--name
- Name the container "factorio" (otherwise it has a funny random name).
Check the logs to see what happened:
docker logs factorio
Stop the server:
docker stop factorio
Now there's a server-settings.json
file in the folder /tmp/factorio/config
. Modify this to your liking and restart the server:
docker start factorio
Try to connect to the server. Check the logs if it isn't working.
Saves
A new map named save.zip
is generated the first time the server is started. The map-gen-settings.json
file in /tmp/factorio/config
is used for the map settings. On subsequent runs the newest save is used.
To load an old save stop the server and run the command touch oldsave.zip
. This resets the date. Then restart the server.
To generate a new map stop the server, delete all of the saves and restart the server.
Mods
Copy mods into the mods folder and restart the server.
Remote Console
RCON is currently disabled.
