Easily update factorio on windows server

Post by Elok »

Ok so I got this server with Windows on it and I use it to host a factorio server (with batch file).

Right now, if I want to update, here's the steps I do :

- Connect on the website and start the download of the lattest experimental for windows compressed (.zip)
- Extract the compressed files
- Move the Batch file and the ServerName.zip to the new factorio folder
- Update the batch files shortcut on the desktop and in the windows Startup option so the server restart incase windows crash
- Execute the Batch File to start the server.

It's a pretty long and painful process to be done remotely and I often end up moving my monitor on my server to help with the process.

Is there a better/easier/faster way to update a windows server?

EDIT : Just tried something, I can download the .EXE instead and directly install inside my old factorio folder. Seem to work fine and greatly redure the steps.
