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 Steam.

Features

• Configurable via server-config.json.
• Automatically loads the last save.
• Volumes for saves and mods.
• Small size. Based on Alpine Linux.

How to use this image?

Quick Start

Start the server in interactive mode.

docker run --rm -it -P -v /tmp/factorio:/factorio dtandersen/factorio

Here is an explanation of the options:

• --rm - Remove container after stopping
• -it - Interactive mode, i.e. you can see the console
• -P - Expose all ports.
• -v - Volume to mount.

Press ^C to stop the server. There is now a server-settings.json in /tmp/factorio/config. Modify this to your liking.

Now start the server as a daemon.

docker run -d -P -v /tmp/factorio:/factorio --name factorio dtandersen/factorio

Try to connect to the server. Check the logs if it isn't working:

docker logs factorio

Saves

A new map (save.zip) is generated the first time the server is started. On subsequent runs the newest save is used. To load an old save touch save.zip and restart the server.

To generate a new map delete all of the saves and restart the server.

For custom map settings edit map-gen-settings.json in /tmp/factorio/config.

Mods

Copy the mods into the mods folder and restart the server.

Start/Stopping

Assuming the server is named factorio, to stop the server:

docker stop factorio

To restart the server:

docker start factorio

Volumes

The server has only one volume: /factorio. Under this folder there are folders for /saves, /mods, and /config.

• /factorio ** /config *** server-settings.json *** map-gen-settings.json ** /mods ** /saves

Ports

• 34197/udp - Client (required)
• 27015/tcp - Remote console (optional)
