Railworld Co-op

A vanilla Factorio dedicated-server preset for long-running co-op railworlds: stable public settings, regular autosaves, and a clear map preset to pair with a railworld save.

Settings to apply

Values to set in each file, one per line, grouped by the file they belong in. This is not the file's own format: copy the values across rather than pasting the block. Dotted names are nested, so visibility.public means a public key inside a visibility object.

[server-settings.json]
name=Railworld Co-op
description=Long-running railworld co-op server.
visibility.public=false
visibility.lan=true
require_user_verification=true
max_players=12
autosave_interval=10
autosave_slots=8
afk_autokick_interval=0
game_password=change-me
[map-gen-settings.json]

Install steps

  1. Download serverpack.json to keep the preset with your server notes.
  2. Create or upload a save generated with Factorio's rail world preset.
  3. Copy the server-settings.json values into your Factorio server settings file.
  4. Set game_password before going public, then restart the headless server with the selected save.

Notes

  • The rail-world layout is not a map-gen-settings.json key: create the save with Factorio's own flag, `factorio --create saves/world.zip --preset rail-world`, then apply the remaining map-gen values.
  • visibility.public=false is intentional for the first boot; switch it on after password and admin checks.
  • autosave_interval=10 and autosave_slots=8 keep recovery points without creating excessive churn.
  • The map-gen-settings entries document the intended save preset; generate the save before first server start.
