## Installation:
### On ubuntu 14.04/16.04:

## Usage:
- factotum –help
This provides all Factory Factotum commands.
- factotum COMMAND –help
This provides help for each Factory Factotum command.
- factotum fulldeploy
Runs install, authenticate, newmap, setup.
- 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 newmap
Generates a new map from a config file in FACTORIOHOME/config/mapsettings.json
- factotum setup –servername “Server Name Here” –description “Server Description Here” –tag “Tag 1” –tag “Tag n”
Configures the settings.json file including setting a password of 4 diceware words.
- 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.

This reports on the status of the server.
- factotum rcon /help
This sends commands into an already running server started by factotum.
