Admins are essential to maintaining a well-functioning Factorio server. As moderators, they ensure fair play by monitoring player behavior, enforcing server rules, and taking appropriate action against rule violations. Their role helps create a balanced and enjoyable environment for all players. However, it's equally important to address situations where admins misuse their authority. Ensuring accountability at all levels helps preserve trust and fairness within the community. This guide outlines both how to empower responsible administrators and how to handle cases where admin power is abused.
Adding/Removing Admins from your Factorio Server
1. Log in to your Game Panel to start your server.
2. Before making any modifications, stop the server from running by clicking the Stop button.
3. Navigate to the Configuration Files section.
4. On the Configuration Files, look for server-adminlist.json file and click the Text Editor.
5. Add your preferred players to the Admin List to grant them administrator privileges. You can use their SteamID64 or Player Name.
6. After editing, click Save to apply the changes. The changes will take effect the next time the chosen player/s logs into the server.
