Configuration

The daemon reads static configuration from the /etc/factoriod/ directory by default. Modifying /etc/factoriod/appsettings.json will adjust the daemon’s behavior at runtime.

Dynamic configuration, accessible through the REST API, is stored in /var/lib/factoriod/config/. Some notable files:

• Server settings, in ./factorio:
  • server-settings.json: configuration for the factorio server
  • server-whitelist.json: a list of allowed players for the server
  • server-banlist.json: a list of banned players for the server
  • server-adminlist.json: a list of admins for the server

If a configuration file is not found, the daemon will use the default configuration. Configuration can be customized through the REST API.

Saves

Saves are stored at /var/lib/factoriod/saves/ as *.zip files. The daemon will automatically load the most recent save on startup. To load a different save, use the PUT api/save/{name} endpoint. To create a new save, use the PUT api/save/create/{name} endpoint.
