Factorio Server Hosting

You can upload mods manually via SFTP to the 'mods' folder. Factorio automatically synchronizes mods with clients when they join the server. Make sure you also adjust the 'mod-list.json' or restart the server so it recognizes new mods.

UPS stands for 'Updates Per Second'. The game tries to calculate 60 updates per second. If your factory gets too big and the CPU can't keep up, the UPS drops, and the game runs in slow motion. Our servers are optimized for high UPS.

Yes, simply upload the `.zip` file of your save via SFTP to the 'saves' folder. Then you have to specify the name of the save in the panel or in the start parameters so the server loads it.

Factorio is surprisingly RAM efficient, but large maps and many mods (like Space Exploration) need more. For Vanilla, 4 GB is often enough. For large modpacks, we recommend 8 GB or more.

Yes, you can choose between 'Stable' and 'Experimental' (Latest) in the panel. A restart updates the server to the selected version.

You can make yourself admin via the console or create a `server-adminlist.json` file and enter your player name there. As admin, you have access to console commands in the game.

Yes, that is the default setting in Factorio. The game pauses when the last player leaves. This saves CPU load, but the server technically continues to run (and incurs costs). To save money, you must stop the server in the panel.

Yes, Space Exploration is one of the best mods. Since it is very extensive, we recommend a package with more RAM and CPU power to play smoothly even in the late game.

Simply restart the server in the panel. Our system checks for updates at startup and installs them automatically.

Yes, you can activate the whitelist in the `server-settings.json` and add players via the console (`/whitelist add PlayerName`).

The file `factorio-current.log` in the main directory contains all important information, errors, and chat logs.

Yes, we support RCON. You can set the RCON password in the settings and connect with tools to control the server remotely.

Yes, as long as you don't use mods and don't use console commands that deactivate achievements, you can also unlock Steam achievements on the server.

You can set the autosave interval in the `server-settings.json`. Standard is often every 5 or 10 minutes.

The map settings are determined when creating the map. If you want a new map with special settings (e.g., Rail World), it is best to create it locally in singleplayer and then upload it.

The server is stopped. Your factory (savegame) remains safely stored. After topping up, you can continue immediately.

Yes, our DDoS protection secures your server so you can build undisturbed.

Yes, in the `server-settings.json` you can set 'public': true and enter your login data (token) so the server appears in the public browser.

Yes, our servers run as dedicated headless servers under Linux, which offers the best performance.

We have servers in Germany and in USA (Salt Lake City).

Customers can set up manual or automatic backups for a minimal fee.
