System Requirements
To run a dedicated Factorio server, you'll need a 64-bit AMD or Intel CPU, with a minimum of 8GB RAM, 1GB of free disk space, and a stable broadband internet connection. While multiple cores can help with general performance, single-core speed is crucial for running the game smoothly.
Installation
You can install the server through your Steam library or via SteamCMD.
For Linux:
steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/FactorioServer +login anonymous +app_update 427520 validate +quit
For Windows:
steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\GameServers\FactorioServer +login anonymous +app_update 427520 validate +quit
You'll need to forward UDP port 34197 for the server to function correctly.
Starting the server
Launch the dedicated server from Steam to open a terminal window where you can monitor logs in real-time.
Alternatively, to start the Dedicated Server via the command line, navigate to the installation directory and run the following command in Command Prompt or PowerShell (Windows) or Terminal (Linux):
Windows:
FactorioServer.exe -log
Linux:
./factorio-server
