Factorio Server Hosting

Factorio is a factory automation game where you gather resources, build production lines and grow massive industrial systems — alone or with friends. Playing on a dedicated Factorio server lets your whole group build together in a persistent world that stays online around the clock, instead of relying on one player's computer. With Lobby Maker you can rent a Factorio server in seconds and focus on scaling your factory, not managing infrastructure.

Why host your own Factorio server?

A dedicated Factorio server keeps your factory running 24/7, so friends can join cooperative multiplayer whenever they want — no host needed online. You get full control over world settings, save files, access permissions and mods, which makes co-op automation smoother and far more reliable than peer-to-peer hosting, even as your megabase grows.

What you get with Lobby Maker

Deploy your server instantly on high-performance EU hardware with low latency and stable uptime. Manage your Factorio world through a simple control panel, restart or update it with ease, install mods, and enjoy straightforward monthly pricing with no hidden fees. From a small co-op factory to a large-scale automated empire — including the Space Age expansion — there's an affordable plan to fit your needs.
