Factorio Server Features

You can apply all server settings in the ./ansible/server-settings.json. The Ansible script will generate a random generated map. Savegames are currently not supported.

Prerequisites

• An Azure subscription
• A valid Factorio account
• Terraform
• Ansible

Getting started

1. Initialize terraform

$ terraform init

2. Apply the Terraform configuration

$ terraform apply

3. Copy the public IP returned from Terraform and append to ./ansible/hosts file.

$ echo -e x.x.x.x >> ./ansible/hosts

4. Modify the Factorio server settings in ./ansible/server-settings.json.

5. Run the Ansible playbook.

$ ansible-playbook ./ansible/configureFactorio.yml -i ./ansible/hosts
