# Factorio Multiworld
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a very simple hack to allow Factorio vanilla servers to run with
|
|
|
|
|
multiple-world support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It enables the use of a `/ws` command which opens a GUI to switch between
|
|
|
|
|
worlds. If you already know the name of the world, then `/ws <WORLDNAME>` can
|
|
|
|
|
be used to quickly switch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Different worlds have separate research progress, and players have separate
|
|
|
|
|
inventories as they transition between worlds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Worlds can be created from a map exchange string with the `/createworld`
|
|
|
|
|
command by admins, and destroyed using `/destroyworld`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `/ws` - world switcher
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `/ws` is the bulk of the multiworld functionality, and the only command accessible by non-admins.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It has two forms:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `/ws` - opens a world selection GUI with a button per world
|
|
|
|
|
* `/ws <WORLD NAME>` - goes directly to the world
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `/createworld <WORLD NAME> <MAP EXCHANGE STRING>` - create a new world (admins only)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`/createworld` is one way of creating a new, empty world based on a given map
|
|
|
|
|
exchange string.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that only the parameters of the map exchange string that pertain to
|
|
|
|
|
generation settings will be respected: difficulty, and other settings that
|
|
|
|
|
Factorio retains per-map rather than per-surface will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `/destroyworld <WORLD NAME>` - destroy a world (admins only)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`/destroyworld` deletes a world by name, and deletes all the inventories
|
|
|
|
|
associated with it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `/debugeditor` - open the editor (admins only)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`/debugeditor` opens the map editor without tripping the "editor opened"
|
|
|
|
|
achievement disabling flag.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is intended for use for admins to import existing save files as new
|
|
|
|
|
surfaces.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Note that once you've done so, you'll need to use the `/debugrenameworld` or
|
|
|
|
|
`/debugresetworldstate` commands in order to properly set up the extra metadata
|
|
|
|
|
required by Multiworld.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `/debugrenameworld <OLD NAME> <NEW NAME>` - rename a surface (admins only)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is useful for renaming worlds imported by the `/debugeditor`.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `/debugresetworldstate <WORLD NAME>` - reset book-keeping metadata for a world (admins only)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This resets various internal metadata:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The per-world player force
|
|
|
|
|
* Any inventories held for players for that world
|
|
|
|
|
* Any locations held for players for that world
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It should usually be used only after importing an existing save file as a new
|
|
|
|
|
surface using the `/debugeditor`.
