Factorio Init Script

A simple factorio init script for linux

Debugging

If you find yourself wondering why stuff is not working the way you expect:

• Enable debugging in the config and/or
• Try running the same commands as the factorio user

$ cd '/opt/factorio-init'
$ source ./config  # Grab the config variables
$ echo $INVOCATION # Does this look correct to you?
$ $INVOCATION #Start the server, watch the log output for any Errors

Install

• Create a directory where you want to store this script along with configuration. (either copy-paste the files or clone from github):

$ cd '/opt'
$ git clone https://github.com/Bisa/factorio-init.git

• Rename config.example to config and modify the values within according to your setup.

SysvInit

• Symlink the init script:

$ ln -s /opt/factorio-init/factorio /etc/init.d/factorio

• Make the script executable:

$ chmod +x /opt/factorio-init/factorio

• Try it out!

$ service factorio help
