Factorio artwork
Factorio is a game about building and running automated factories. You mine by hand once, then build the machine that does it, then the machine that builds those, and it does not stop until the rocket goes up.
Its multiplayer scales with people better than almost any other builder. One lays rail while another untangles the smelting column and nobody is waiting, as long as the world is up when they are.

WHY MCHOSTS

Why host Factorio with us

Sized by the factory, not the players
A Factorio server's load comes from how many things are moving, not how many people are watching. That is an unusual sizing problem, and it only ever grows.
Support in your timezone
Your ticket goes to the people who run the hardware, and they read it in Australian hours rather than on another continent's next morning.
Mods change the entire run
Factorio's mod portal carries overhauls that replace the whole tech tree. A run's identity is its mod list, and the server is what holds it.
Paused, unless you say otherwise
A Factorio server pauses itself the moment the last player leaves. You can turn that off and let the factory run overnight, and then the biters get a go at it while nobody is watching.

WHY A SERVER

The factory must grow, continuously

Factorio saves get big and Factorio runs get long. Handing that around as a file, or leaning on whoever happens to have the best PC, is how a run quietly dies.
A permanent server means anyone with a spare hour can add to it.
One base everybody works on
Always at the same address
No save file to pass around
A sprawling Factorio factory
YOUR SETUP

Vanilla or Space Age, and the mods you pick

You choose vanilla or the Space Age expansion when you buy, and a switch on the Config tab changes it later without losing the world. The server follows the current Factorio version on its own, taking each new one at its daily restart or whenever you restart it, so your players are not locked out by an update for long.
Mods come from the official mod portal. Search it on the Mods tab, pick one, and your server downloads it along with anything it needs, using your own factorio.com account. Your players are offered the same mods when they join.
Switch between vanilla and Space Age any time
