This is how you can change your Factorio dedicated server version. This is handy if you want to upload an old save that you'd like to continue on our servers, as newer Factorio versions most likely won't be compatible due to recipe changes and more.

Changing Your Factorio Server Version

We don't recommend using your current save or any current mods on an older version of Factorio. However, if you still want to try, you must first manually download a backup of your save before proceeding with the steps below.

Danger

If you're going back to a version before 2.0, you'll need to make sure the Space Age mods are disabled in the folder /mods/mod-list.json.

Change the following to false:

elevated-rails
quality
space-age

We intend to make this process automatic in the coming weeks.

1
Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
2
In the sidebar, go to Settings.
3
Make sure Automatic Updates are Enabled.
4
Edit Factorio Version and Save Name to something that isn't your current save.
5
Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

All versions, including the latest Factorio versions, can be found here.

Note

Certain versions may require additional setup. Please refer to the console output for more information or contact a bro.
