These three .sh files were created for Infern009's Factorio server, and use Byobu to run a Factorio server.

Usage

Clone this repository, then cd into it.
- git clone https://git.seaswimmer.cc/SeaswimmerTheFsh/Factorio-Scripts.git && cd Factorio-Scripts
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 Byobu with the install-byobu.sh script.
Run the start_server.sh script.
- If you haven't changed Byobu's configuration, you can detach from the terminal this spawns by pressing Ctrl + A, releasing those keys, then immediately pressing D.
Once the server is online, stop it with /quit from the Factorio server's console or by running the stop_server.sh script.
Copy the config.sh.example file.
- cp config.sh.example config.sh
Modify the parameters in config.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.
  - 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.
