• factotum install

  • Installs factorio (default /opt/factorio, override with a new path in ~/.factorioPath)

• factotum authenticate –username <Username>

  • Gets your authentication token from factorio servers so your password isn’t stored in plaintext.

• factotum factorio start

  • This starts the factorio headless server in daemon mode with latest save.

• factotum factorio stop

  • This asks the headless server to stop. Politely. It will take some time and will likely report failed.

• factotum rcon /help

  • This sends commands into an already running server started by factotum.
