Factorio server hosting

Q: How much RAM do I need for Factorio?

The headless server is extremely lightweight, so for a fresh map with a handful of players a small plan is enough. If your factory grows substantially, you can easily upgrade to more RAM — our tiers range from 2 to 20 GB.

Q: Why does my large base slow down and what helps?

With large factories, it mostly comes down to the CPU's single-thread speed, not more cores. That's why we host on fast AMD hardware with NVMe storage, so your UPS stays up as long as possible.

Q: Can I use mods on my server?

Yes, the official headless server supports mods. You put them on your server via the panel; just make sure the mods on the server match those of your players.

Q: What does update 2.1 mean for my server?

Update 2.1 (late summer 2026) is Factorio's last major update; after that, the focus is on stability. Good news for servers: less chance of breaking changes, and the community has been stable for years at around 17,000 average players on Steam.

Build your megafactory on fast AMD hardware with NVMe — your Factorio server is running within 1 minute.
