Factorio Game Server
Factorio is usually constrained less by slots than by factory entities, logistics networks, and map-wide update cost.

Resource selection
Choose Your Factorio Server Plan
Inserters, belts, bots, trains, and production machines require continuous simulation as the factory expands; UPS is more useful than idle CPU percentage.

Evaluate CPU, memory, and storage options against the expected game workload.
Player load
How player count affects resources
Separate production regions widen the active factory footprint, while a shared megabase concentrates work into one logistics network.
-
Single-core strength
Measure processor peaks and game-loop response during a busy session.
-
RAM
Track peak memory use together with growth headroom.
-
NVMe storage
Measure storage behaviour across saves, logs, and backups.
-
Mod and script density
Measure actual mod, plugin, and script workload separately from extension count.
-
World / map size
Track world size, active regions, and persistent-data growth together.
-
Player scenario
Evaluate concurrent-player distribution, activity, and content workload together.
Detailed planning notes
| Scenario | Resource effect | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Concurrent players | Separate production regions widen the active factory footprint, while a shared megabase concentrates work into one logistics network. | Measure a busy session |
| Game activity | Inserters, belts, bots, trains, and production machines require continuous simulation as the factory expands; UPS is more useful than idle CPU percentage. | Repeat the peak scenario |
| World / save growth | Exploration and factory entities increase save and update time; sustained UPS decline signals a need for optimization or more capacity. | Track save and restore duration |

Capacity summary
Estimated CPU, memory, storage, and a suitable resource profile appear here.
Mod / plugin level
Mods, plugins, and additional content
Large overhaul mods change recipes, entities, and save structure. Validate migrations and mod versions against a production-save copy.
Mod compatibility can vary by game and server-software release.
Administration
Administration and server settings
Control game speed, autosave, visibility, map generation, the mod list, and administrator permissions through change management.
Installation and management
After deployment, manage Factorio processes, version changes, and settings that require restarts in controlled maintenance windows.
Backups
Back up Factorio saves, configuration, and additional-content data as separate restore points before changes.
File access
Limit file access to Factorio configuration, logs, and managed content directories; stop the relevant process before replacing active files.
Frequently asked questions
Factorio
What should I compare when moving an existing factory?
Use the save size, mod list and UPS observed during busy production together. Base CPU, RAM and storage choices on your established factory, rather than the low load of a fresh map.
Does a small player group mean a megabase needs few resources?
Not necessarily. Production and logistics can remain busy independently of player count. Evaluate simulation behaviour in your developed save before choosing resources for the group.
How should I approach an overhaul mod update?
Keep the current save and mod versions first. Open a separate copy with the update, inspect migration logs and check that production still works. Renting resources does not guarantee a successful mod migration.
Should I upgrade immediately when UPS falls?
Check whether the drop is sustained and which production or mod activity has grown. After reducing unnecessary work, compare resources for any remaining CPU or memory constraint; more disk space alone does not fix every simulation slowdown.
What should a new administrator receive with the save?
Include the game and mod versions, map settings and access permissions. Document where autosaves are kept and how to return to a known working save, so the handover covers operation as well as files.
