#FACTORIO DOWNLOAD WINDOWS INSTALL#
If you install sudo swupd bundle-add python-extras, it contains Requests within the bundle by default (thanks for this one). This updater uses a non-standard library called Requests. Luckily, there is a community made guide HERE. Since I’m using the experiemental version of factorio, the game updates frequently. You should see that you are able to play the game now. If you set a password, here is where you’ll also enter that. bin/圆4/factorio -start-server //home/gamemaster/factorio/saves/my_saves.zip From here I can launch the Factorio game from my desktop, select Play, Connect to server, and type the IP of my server. For this guide, my IP is 192.168.85.135 which is needed once the game is running. Go ahead and find your IP by the following command: ip a. bin/圆4/factorio -create saves/my_save.zipĪt this point you can test your server. In Clear Linux that is disabled by default, so follow the guide HERE if you want to enable sftp.īefore you can start a game, you need to create a save file.
#FACTORIO DOWNLOAD WINDOWS MODS#
Once the factorio server starts, it’ll check that folder and if there are any mods inside it, add them automatically. One called saves and the other called mods with the following command: sudo mkdir -p saves mods Here is where I made two new directories. Go ahead and go up a directory by typing: cd. Once you hit end game, saving takes a while so it’s nice to not have your game paused for too long.
#FACTORIO DOWNLOAD WINDOWS PASSWORD#
game_password: the password used to enter the game You can find yours by logging into your factorio account and generating it from the profile page on their site. token: I use this instead of a plaintext password since it is more secure.
username: the username of your factorio account description: The description that will show up next to the name name: The name of the server instance that your friends will search when looking for the game
In this file, I only changed a few things. I use vim as my text editor, so at this point I installed it by typing: sudo swupd bundle-add vim then I edited the file by typing: sudo vim server-settigns.json` Next we are going to edit that newly copied file. If you ls you can see we have a file called, go ahead and make a new copy of it by typing: sudo cp server-settings.json. We are going to need to adjust some settings in the data folder so cd into that by typing: cd data. Jump into that directory by typing: cd factorio This will unpack everything into a newly made folder called factorio. Once downloaded, run this command to unzip the package: sudo tar xf factorio_. If you want to use any other version, make sure you follow the same syntax above and replace the link with the version you will be downloading. I’m installing the latest experiemental version of factorio (as of the time of writing this guide). Once there, run the following command to download the factorio software: sudo wget -O factorio_ Since we will be running this game under the gamemaster account, first get into gamemaster’s home directory by typing: cd /home/gamemaster Next we are going to get the tar package from factorio’s site HERE.
I logged in as my admin account (kyle).įirst install wget by doing the following command: sudo swupd bundle-add wget Once the system reboots I usually do everything via SSH from here on out. One named kyle with admin rights and another called gamemaster that does not have admin rights. The only thing I’d recommend is to create your user accounts here as well. If you want to set a static IP you can do it here.
#FACTORIO DOWNLOAD WINDOWS UPDATE#
One to start the factorio server and another to update factorio when neededįollow the guide HERE to install Clear Linux. Install a community made factorio updater Create two accounts, one with admin rights and another without that will be used to run factorio (separate accounts help with security) Some leftover hardware from other projects:
#FACTORIO DOWNLOAD WINDOWS HOW TO#
I’m also fairly average at linux so if there are any recommendations on how to make this easier please let me know! Originally I was doing this with Ubuntu, but once I heard that Clear Linux had a new installer (via Linux Unplugged), and after playing with it as my main OS on my laptop, I decided to also try and migrate over my server from Ubuntu to Clear Linux. As well, I like having excuses to try new things. My friends and I play factorio and having a dedicated server makes that easier for us to play together.
