At Game Host Bros, we have automatic updates for Factorio servers by default. This can always be toggled on or off, and you'll also be able to change your server version if you'd like to use an older version.
Updating Your Factorio Server
By default, a server will install to the latest version, keeping your server up to date with Factorio's current patch. If you're looking to play an older version, follow this guide.
- 1Log in to Bropanel.
- 2In the sidebar, go to
Settings. - 3Enable
Automatic Updates. - 4Click
Save & Restartto apply your changes.
Your server will now automatically restart to perform an update whenever a new Factorio update is released. The update delay and chat message sent can also be configured to your preferences.
Note
Whenever your server performs an automatic update, it will create a backup of your save and place it into a save-backups folder, along with a version number it's being updated from and a timestamp. This is handy in case something goes wrong, as your save will be preserved and your server version can always be changed to the previous one if necessary.
If you get stuck at any time, you can reach out to a bro on Discord.
