ABOUT FactorioAbout The Game

In the beginning, you will find yourself chopping trees, mining ores, crafting mechanical arms, and transport belts by hand. Still, in a short time, you can become an industrial powerhouse with huge solar fields, oil refining and cracking, manufacturing and deploying construction, and logistic robots, all for your resource needs.

However, this heavy exploitation of the planet's resources does not sit nicely with the locals, so you must be prepared to defend yourself and your machine empire.

In the World of Factorio, the your base is in your hands!
Harvest Materials

Gather, transform, and utilize raw materials as you explore an uncharted world and endlessly automate production.

Defend Against Biters

Fight the attacking biters trying to defend their home world from deforestation and rampant pollution.

Build a Mega Factory

Build and expand the factory forever while trying to satiate the hungry beast within the factory walls, ever-consuming and continuously growing.

MOD SUPPORTSupport For All Mods

Expand your factory with new resources, machines, and more. If that doesn't cure your Factorio addiction, add in some space exploration and manage factories across multiple planets.

FAQ

Have your own question? Ask us here »

What is the difference between Standard and Premium?

Standard was designed cost-effective for a small group of friends who want to play together. Premium is the best hardware we can source that runs at the fastest speeds, so your server will never lag or slow down. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

How do I know the best location to pick?

You can use the map on this page above to show your real-time pings to each of our locations. Just refresh the page to recalculate your live latency.

Can I use mods, workshop content, or other custom resources on my server?

Of course. For Factorio you will just need to upload the mods from your computer to the server. You can install whole mod packs with a click for other games, such as Minecraft.

Are the player slots adjustable?

Player slots will only be limited by the number of players a game supports and the resources you order.

When will my server be set up?

Once your order payment has been processed, the server will start installing and should be ready within a few minutes. If there are any unusual delays, don't hesitate to contact us with the details so we can correct any issues at once.

Do you provide DDoS protection?

Yes, of course! Our automated systems tackle the brunt of these attackers but if you find yourself under attack let our staff know and they will make sure additional mitigators are put in place for your server.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my server?

Yes. You can change your plan/resources at any time and your server will automatically have resources added or removed based on your choice.

Do you offer dedicated IPs?

Yes, we have dedicated IPs available at checkout. Dedicated IPs are now an additional cost due to the increasing cost due to the IPV4 address shortage.
