Factorio Server Hosting, Explained
New to Factorio?
What is Factorio?
Factorio is a game about building and running factories, from Wube Software. You land on an alien planet, chop trees and mine ore by hand, then place drills, furnaces, belts and assemblers until science packs make themselves. From there you research oil processing, trains and logistic robots, keep the power on, and defend the factory from the native biters, who attack as your pollution reaches their nests. The classic goal is launching a rocket, and the Space Age expansion takes the factory into space and on to other planets.
Automate Everything.
Spot the bottleneck, redesign the build, and watch the factory run on its own.
Build Together.
Share one factory with friends and split the work: power, trains, oil and defense.
Why rent a server?
What is Factorio Server Hosting?
When one player hosts from their own game, the factory only runs while they are online and their PC carries the whole simulation. A dedicated Factorio server keeps the save online on its own, so anyone in your group can join to fix a belt or expand the rail network on their own schedule. With Physgun it deploys in minutes, with the version, Space Age, password and map settings in the panel, and full file access over SFTP and SSH for your mods and saves.
Always-On Factory.
The save stays online when the host logs off, so the group can play whenever they like.
Full Control.
Set the version, Space Age, map and enemy settings, and add mods with full file access.
Questions, answered
Straight answers before you order. Still stuck? Real people are here around the clock.
Physgun
It depends on the factory more than the players. Factorio runs most of its simulation on one CPU thread, and memory grows with the size of your save and your mods, so size up as the factory grows.
As many as you like. You set the player limit yourself, and we never charge per slot.
Yes. Turn Space Age on or off from the panel. Every player needs to own the expansion while it is on.
Yes. Run stable, experimental or an exact version, and the server updates to it when it starts. Players need the same version to join.
Yes. Upload your mods to the server, and players download the matching mods when they join.
Yes. Upload your save to the server and your factory carries on where you left off.
Yes, if you want it to. The game pauses while nobody is online by default, and one switch in the panel keeps it running.
Yes. A new world can be peaceful, or have enemy expansion and evolution turned off.
Yes. A password or a whitelist keeps it to your group, and with your factorio.com account you can list it in the in-game server browser.
Yes. Players on Windows, macOS and Linux join the same server, as long as they have the same game version and mods.
Yes. Physgun backs up your whole server on a schedule, and you can restore any backup in one click. Factorio also autosaves on its own.
Yes, to another Gamebox game, as long as your server meets that game's minimum CPU, memory and storage. Switching wipes the old game's files, and the panel offers a backup first.
Yes. Every Physgun server sits behind our network's DDoS protection.
Chicago, USA and London, UK. Pick the one closest to most of your players when you order.
Yes. Every Physgun server comes with a 3 day refund guarantee, and billing is month to month with no setup fee.
