Upload an existing factory

Move a Factorio save onto your server. Saves are single zip files, so this is quick, but do not unzip it.

Factorio saves are single zip files, which makes this one of the easier games to move. Don't unzip it: the server wants the zip exactly as it is.

  1. In the panel, stop the server from the Console tab.
  2. On your PC, find your save. On Windows it's in %appdata%\Factorio\saves, with a name like my-factory.zip.
  3. In Files, open the saves folder.
  4. Upload the .zip as it is.
  5. If the server loads a save by name, either rename your upload to match or change the name on the Startup tab.
  6. Start the server and watch the console. It prints the name of the save it loaded, which is the quickest way to check it took yours.
