  • Admins are exempt from player count limit.
• Bugfixes
  • Fixed that the server could be running even if it was supposed to be stopped.

The new server-settings.example.json I got with the headless 0.14.9 download contains the following extra lines:

Code: Select all

  "_comment_admins": "List of case sensitive usernames, that will be promoted immediately",
  "admins": []

Is there a way to configure the default server settings when hosting a game? Save frequency, autokick, which boxes are checked by default etc?

that would be nice, tho' i kinda doubt it.

or even better, having own "presets" which you can select

Bug reported before I went to bed, fixed and released before I woke up. Now, that's good product support.

If you run your headless server via docker, you can use docker-compose to have defaults for the command line parameters. That plus the built in support for map-gen-settings.json covers most options.

My docker-compose file looks like

Code: Select all

version: '2'
services:
    'factorio':
        image: 'rfvgyhn/factorio:latest'
        ports:
            - '12345:34197/udp'
        volumes:
            - '/home/rfvgyhn/factorio/config:/config'
            - '/home/rfvgyhn/factorio/saves:/saves'
            - '/home/rfvgyhn/factorio/mods:/mods'
        environment:
            - FACTORIO_SAVE_NAME=game2
            - FACTORIO_AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL=5
            - FACTORIO_AFK_AUTOKICK_INTERVAL=5

Then I can just run a single command to start my server

Code: Select all

docker-compose up -d

Hey,

If I want two users to automatically be admins, I can't figure out how without stopping the server from starting:

[Derp, Herp]
"Derp, Herp"
[Derp], [Herp]
"Derp", "Herp"
["Derp", "Herp"]

Nothing seems to let the server start.

Any ideas?

[posila]

Hi, change line

Code: Select all

"admins": []

to

Code: Select all

"admins": ["Derp", "Herp"]

and it should work
