With the upgrade to 0.15, I changed the default save file location and how it is set in /etc/conf.d/factorio (to match with the factorio-headless-experimental package) Before: SAVE_FILE=/var/lib/factorio/.factorio/saves/factorio-service-save.zip After: SAVE_NAME=factorio-service-save This will put the save file in /var/lib/factorio/factorio-service-save.zip The old factorio-service-save.zip file will be automatically copied to the new location upon upgrading (unless it already exists for some reason...). If you haven't changed /etc/conf.d/factorio, you shouldn't need to do anything. If you have modified /etc/conf.d/factorio, you'll have to set the SAVE_NAME correctly (the install script should give you a sensible value based on your previous SAVE_FILE value). In all cases, the old 0.14 default save will stay in .factorio/saves/factorio-service-save.zip Please also note that the factorio service will automatically be stopped when doing the upgrade to make sure it's copying an up-to-date save file.

There are problems when using `--peer-to-peer` and NAT. By default Factorio has peer-to-peer turned off, but the .service has it turned on explicitly. It might be a good idea to introduce FACTORIO_ARGS in conf.d and drop `--peer-to-peer` from the .service. factorio-init does the same thing: https://github.com/Bisa/factorio-init/blob/master/factorio.service.example#L11

Never seen the game crashs. Until then, having a mechanism that always load the last autosave seems useless. Thanks for this package! :)

Done :) The main thing to know is that the daemon will load the save in /var/lib/factorio/.factorio/saves/factorio-service-save.zip It creates an empty save upon installation, but you can replace it with your own save file. Also you may configure some options in /etc/conf.d/factorio. I'd love some feedback! Also, I heavily inspired from https://github.com/Bisa/factorio-init/, and they have a save-refreshing mechanism, basically loading the most recent save upon daemon restart. Do you think it would be useful? I suppose it is intended to load the autosaves, if the daemon crashes?

Is getting systemd service units within the scope of the package? They would add great value to it.

You no longer need to manually download the archive, it's available here: https://www.factorio.com/download-headless/stable
