Obtain Server IP and Port

Once logged into your server dash you will need to press Start. Once the server is done initializing in the top ribbon click on the Network tab to access your server IP Address and Port. These will be crucial when connecting to your server in game. We recommend keeping this page open to easily access your IP address and port when launching the game.

!Important: Space Age Mods

Note: If you do not have the Space Age Expansion for Factorio, you'll need to remove the Elevated Rails, Quality, and Space Age mods that come pre-installed on your server. To do this, navigate to the Files tab, then open the data folder. From there, select all three mod folders (as shown in the image below), and click Delete at the bottom of the screen.

Once complete go back to your Console and restart your Server by pressing Restart.
