Overview

This module will install a Factorio headless server.

Setup

What factorio affects

  • Factorio user created
  • Headless tarball downloaded and extracted
  • New world created
  • Systemd unit created, started, and enabled

Beginning with factorio

Simply include factorio on the nodes and/or hierarchies you wish to have a server setup

The default world name will be generic. If you'd like to give your world a specific name, you can do so via hiera: factorio::world_name: 'yourcustomworldname'

Generating a new world / Changing worlds

Follow the steps below to change to a different save game:

  • Stop factorio (systemctl stop factorio)
  • Update factorio::world_name with the changed/new name you wish to use
  • Server will change maps and restart on next puppet run

Limitations

To create a new world, you must stop the running server, then manually delete the existing save file. The next puppet run will then setup a fresh world.
