How do I update my Factorio Server?
With our panel, there are two methods of updating your server. Automatic and manual updates.
Automatic updates happen for our Source/Steam platform games such as Counter-Strike, and Team Fortress. To get the latest version of these games just reboot your server and on boot, it will update to the latest version.
Manual updates have to be done for games like Minecraft and Factorio. Please follow these steps to update your game servers.
- Go to the AleForge Panel
- Stop your server from the
Console
page - Open the
Backups
tab - Create a new backup and wait for it to complete
- Open the
Settings
tab - Click
Reinstall Server
and confirm the choice - Your server will be updated

Warning: Reinstalling will overwrite all the default files we download from the developer. In some cases, this may include configuration files. Make sure to backup your servers prior to running an update.
