How to join a Factorio server
Learn how to join a Factorio server. Host a dedicated Factorio server on AxentHost and connect using the in-game Multiplayer and Connect to address option.
To play on your Factorio server, you need the server address from the AxentHost panel. You then connect from the game's main menu using the connect-by-address option.
Find your server address
Open your server's "manage" page in the AxentHost panel. The IP address (and port, if your server uses a non-default one) is shown there. Use this as the address when connecting. Factorio often uses a default port, but your "manage" page will show the correct address for your server. Ensure the server is running before you try to join.
Join your server
- Launch Factorio and stay on the main menu.
- Click Multiplayer.
- Choose Connect to address.
- Enter the server address from your "manage" page (for example
myserver.axenthost.me:45582). - Click Connect to join the server.
Once connected, you can build and manage your factory on your Factorio server with your friends.
