How we estimate and compare

We update prices and availability monthly. Plans without a confirmed current price or complete hardware details remain visible. We flag their open details on the offer. Historical configurations are not current performance guarantees and are not included in player recommendations. Specific price, term and capacity filters only consider matching known details. For the default configuration, the stated slot limit of the plan counts first, then an explicit host recommendation. If both are missing, we use a cautious RAM planning range and, for the filter, its lower end. Slot limits allow connections but do not prove hardware performance. We label recommendations and price tables with their respective origin. Mods have their own RAM assumptions. Mods, view distance, world size and shared CPU time can increase requirements. Fixed daily intervals are converted to an average calendar month for price ordering. Connection slots are not a performance promise. An independent load test on the offered servers is still pending.

More about the game

Rent a Factorio server: a shared factory without a fixed host

A dedicated Factorio server makes your factory reachable for the group without the previous host having to keep their game client open. Before comparing, decide whether you are starting a new save or taking over an existing factory. Your game version, expansions and shared mods are just as important. The host should explicitly support this combination.

Factorio can run as a dedicated or headless server, i.e. without a graphical interface. For your purchase decision, what matters is whether you can upload a save game, edit the settings and, if needed, return to the previous configuration. A simple interface helps when getting started. Freely accessible files remain useful for a factory that grows over the long term and for a later change of provider.

Judge the factory, not just the player count

A small group can already run a very large factory. So also tell the provider about your existing save game and planned mods, rather than only asking for a package for a specific player count. Ask for an assessment of this specific configuration and clarify what options there are for moving to more resources.

For comparison, clear details on CPU allocation and RAM are more helpful than an unlimited slots promise. If possible, test with your save game: how long does joining take, does the simulation run as expected, and are backups straightforward? A problem when loading or connecting doesn’t disappear just from more slots. Logs and support that can follow your configuration are then especially valuable.

Agree on mods, pauses and backups together

Server and players must work with a matching Factorio version and the same required mod set. So decide when you update and who approves changes. An automatically applied update only works well if the group and its mods are ready afterwards too. Before bigger changes, back up the save game and the mod and server settings.

Also agree on what should happen between your play sessions. The headless server can pause when nobody is connected. This behaviour is configurable. Check the actual setting with the host instead of assuming a long-term rented server runs a factory constantly. Finally, compare term, upfront payment due and renewal. For a long shared run, reliable data export and easy restoration often matter more than a short-term introductory discount.

Sources and technical basics

Frequently asked questions about Factorio Game Server

Does the Factorio factory keep running if everyone is offline?

A headless server pauses by default when no players are connected. The behaviour can be configured. Check with the host which setting is active. Permanent availability therefore doesn't automatically mean your factory keeps running during the group's break.

Do servers and players need the same Factorio mods?

For playing together, the game version and required mods must match. Coordinate updates with the group and also check each mod version. Mod support in a plan doesn't mean every combination works without errors.

Can I upload my existing Factorio factory?

A dedicated server can load an existing save game. Check the upload, the matching game version and your mod set with the provider. Keep the original file as a backup and test after the import whether the group can rejoin the factory.

Is a small plan enough if we only play as two?

The number of players alone is not a reliable basis. Describe your factory and planned mods to the host and ask about a test or a later upgrade. What matters is how your actual simulation runs, not just how many connections the plan allows.
