  1. Launch Factorio and choose Multiplayer from the main menu.
  2. Click Connect to address and enter the server address as IP:port (for example 192.0.2.10:19000).
  3. If the server has a password, you are prompted for it when connecting.

You can also find publicly listed servers under Browse public games. That list requires a factorio.com account login.

If you cannot connect

  • Version mismatch is the number one cause. Factorio requires your game and the server to run exactly the same version. Update your game (or ask the server owner to update the server) and try again.
  • Space Age worlds need the DLC. If the server runs a Space Age world, every joining player must own the Space Age expansion. Vanilla worlds work for all players.
  • Mods must match. If the server runs mods, the game prompts you to sync them automatically on join. Accept the prompt and it downloads them from the official mod portal.

Want a server of your own? Factorio server hosting from SurvivalServers is online in minutes with automatic version updates each time it starts, so it keeps up with new Factorio releases.
