Planned hosting overview
Factorio supports detailed headless-server administration, but a dependable community still needs thoughtful save handling, version coordination, mod synchronization, access control, and restart planning. VideoGame.host is evaluating a workflow that keeps those controls understandable while preserving access for experienced administrators.
Planned tiers will account for player activity, map age, entity growth, simulation complexity, and mod selection rather than using player slots as the only sizing signal. Exact specifications and supported server versions will be published before launch.
