Frequently asked questions
How many players at once?
The dedicated server comfortably holds a group of friends; you can adjust the number of slots in the server settings.
Is my game kept?
Yes, for free: your save is archived before every shutdown and restored in the next session.
Can I import an existing game?
Yes: when creating the server, import a .zip or .tar.gz archive containing a `saves/` folder with your save inside (`saves/my-factory.zip`). The form reminds you of the expected layout.
Factorio guides
How to set up a Factorio multiplayer server
Settings live in server-settings.json, not in the environment. The empty-map trap, why you need no factorio.com account, and CPU over RAM.
Playing on a private server with friends
Why a server beats an open game, the password game by game, console access you can give without losing your seat, and splitting the bill.
How much does a game server cost by the hour?
The real numbers: the rate per RAM tier, the monthly cost by playing rhythm, and the exact point where a subscription becomes cheaper than us.
How much RAM for your game server?
The tiers per game, but above all how to tell whether your lag really comes from RAM: why adding more can make it worse, and when the CPU is what you should target.
Moving your server from another host
What to bring and what to leave behind, how to upload everything BEFORE switching on (so you pay nothing), and the three checks for the first start.
Where to host your game server: Germany, France, the UK or Quebec?
What the country actually changes — latency, applicable law, price — and the constraint we write down plainly: our cheapest rate exists only in Germany. Changing country later does not cost you your world.
