Factorio Server Host?

Post by NightmareInfinity »

So I did some googling and i couldn't find a server host for Factorio servers. Hosting as in company's that host Minecraft servers for example.
I was thinking.. I have some extra dedicated server boxes that I don't use for anything and I wanted to see what the community thought of starting a hosting company for Factorio. as of right now its a pain to set up a Factorio server but i could easily make it automated with some Linux stuff.

Do you think that would be feasible? If not explain why so I understand why i shouldn't try this.

Personally I don't think there is a big enough market for servers. Also factorio eats CPU fairly quickly.

i rent a server on (dunno if its allowed to mention them here?) Digitaloc*an ; ) around 10$/mo. Its quite simple to set the game up under linux if you are comfortable with things like wget to download and screen it in the background. :)
