Multiple player test environment

[sore68]

Hi
There is a constant multiplayer problem in my mod.
So I want to test when there are two or more players.
But the surrounding environment is not easy.

Is there any way to create a multiplayer state or mod??

The quickest and easiest way (these assume you have steam/exe version)

download the .zip version from factorio.com
Extract it to something like c:\factorio
Goto c:\factorio\bin\x64
Create a shortcut to factorio.exe
Right-click the shortcut -> properties
in the target box add this to the end

Code: Select all

--mod-directory %appdata%/factorio/mods

Run the steam version and the shortcut
In the steam version start a new multiplayer world and make sure to uncheck "verify user identity"
After the world loads go to the other factorio and pick either "play on lan" or connect to server using "localhost" for the server ip

Oh great!
Lan play does not need two accounts?
I'll try it! Thank you!

Without another account, just uncheck "verify user identity"
it's working! Thank you!!
