Rename file to match version (1.1.87 in this example) 

$ sudo mv linux64 factorio_headless_x64_1.1.107.tar.xz

Extract archived and zipped file 

$ sudo tar -xJf factorio_headless_x64_1.1.107.tar.xz
$ ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 57164752 Apr 11 13:40 factorio_headless_x64_1.1.107.tar.xz

Remove file (save space, you can always download the file again, if needed) 

robot01@apu01:/opt$ sudo rm factorio_headless_x64_1.1.107.tar.xz

Add a new user to run factorio and assign ownership of /opt/factorio directory to same user 

$ sudo useradd factorio
$ sudo chown -R factorio:factorio /opt/factorio/


Verify permissions show factorio for both user and group with ls -ld /opt/factorio 

$ ls -ld /opt/factorio/
drwxr-xr-x 4 factorio factorio 4096 May  4 17:07 /opt/factorio/


Test Factorio binary by switching to factorio user then start server 

robot01@apu01:/opt$ sudo su - factorio
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
$

As factorio user create /opt/factorio/ saves directory. I used saves directory. 

$ mkdir /opt/factorio/saves

Start server and look for something like "File /savename does not exist." 

$ /opt/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --start-server savename

At this point you can load up saved games or create some games.


Publish game on Factorio matching server

Copy /opt/factorio/data/server-settings.example.json to /opt/factorio/data/server-settings.json. 

$ sudo cp /opt/factorio/data/server-settings.example.json /opt/factorio/data/server-settings.json

Edit appropriate server-settings.json values.

I used _comment_token versus password value. The appropriate value is located in %appdata%\Factorio\player-data.json under the key name "service-token". The service-token is populated after you've browsed the multiplayer servers via your Factorio game client.

My player-data.json for user "anon" on Windows was located at C:\Users\anon\AppData\Roaming\Factorio.

Make any changes to config ini 

robot01@apu01:/opt/factorio$ sudo vi /opt/factorio/config/config.ini

Update headless server

download latest headless version

unzip and untar 

sudo tar -xJf linux64

change permissions to your dedicated factorio user 

sudo chown -R factorio:factorio factorio

launch game

Gaming
