These three `.sh` files were created for Infern009's Factorio Server, and use [Byobu](https://www.byobu.org/) to run a Factorio server.

## Usage

- First, make sure you have `Byobu` installed.
  - Alpine
    - `sudo apk add -y byobu`
  - Arch
    - `sudo pacman -Sy byobu`
  - CentOS/RHEL
    - `sudo yum install -y byobu`
  - Debian/Mint/Ubuntu
    - `sudo apt-get install -y byobu`
  - Gentoo
    - `sudo emerge -y byobu`
  - MacOS **__(UNSUPPORTED)__**
    - `sudo brew install byobu`
  - If none of these commands work for your platform, you can compile `Bybou` with the `install-byobu.sh` script.
- Download the two shell scripts to an empty directory of your choice.
- Run the `start_server.sh` script.
- Once the server is online, stop it with `/quit` from the Factorio server's console or by running the `stop_server.sh` script.
- Modify the parameters in `start_server.sh`.
  - `save_name` - This parameter controls the name of the save file this script will use to start the server.
  - If you have modified any default config files except for the `config.ini`, you'll want to change the commands' parameters to match those files. I'll assume you're storing them in the `./data` directory. You can find more arguments on the [Factorio Wiki](https://wiki.factorio.com/Command_line_parameters).
    - `extra_params_create=""` - This parameter adds additional flags to the `--create` command the script runs if a save matching `save_name` is not found.
      - `--map-gen-settings ./data/map-gen-settings.json`
      - `--map-settings ./data/map-settings.json`
    - `extra_params_start_server=""` - This parameter adds additional flags to the `-server-start` command.
      - `--server-settings ./data/server-settings.json`
- Run the `start_server.sh` script.
  - To stop the server, either run the `stop_server.sh` script from a terminal or type `/quit` into the Factorio server's console.
