A simple factorio init script for linux

• Create a directory where you want to store this script along with configuration. (either copy-paste the files or clone from github):

$ cd '/opt'
$ git clone https://github.com/Bisa/factorio-init.git

• Rename config.example to config and modify the values within according to your setup.

• Symlink the init script:

$ ln -s /opt/factorio-init/factorio /etc/init.d/factorio

• Make the script executable:

$ chmod +x /opt/factorio-init/factorio

• Try it out!

$ service factorio help

• Symlink the systemd unit file and configuration (have a look at the files in case you need to modify them for your environment)

$ ln -s /opt/factorio-init/factorio.service /etc/systemd/system/
$ ln -s /opt/factorio-init/config /etc/default/factorio

• Symlink the init-script to allow controlling the server from the commandline (optionally, change the path to the script in the unit file)

$ ln -s /opt/factorio-init/factorio /usr/local/bin/

• Reload to allow systemd to pick up your new unit and start the service

$ systemctl daemon-reload
$ systemctl start factorio.service
