Host a Factorio server for your friends
Free, on your PC, no port forwarding. Factorio is planned for our launch catalog. Join the waitlist and we'll tell you the moment it's live.
Wube ships a free headless server build, and it is tiny: a megabase is bound by CPU, not memory. Space Age keeps the community as active as ever. The kind of game a server should simply never go down for.

How hosting Factorio works
- 01
Install Multiplayer Rally
One Windows app. It installs and manages the Factorio dedicated server for you. No command line, no config files.
- 02
Pick Factorio
We set the ports, the settings, and the restart schedule. You pick the world name and who's allowed in.
- 03
Share your link
You get one address your friends paste into the game, and they're in. Nothing to install on their side, no port forwarding on yours.

Yes. Each player needs their own copy of Factorio to join your server. We host the server side; the game itself comes from the store like always.
