Log In to Your Godlike.Host Account

Once you have your account, log in to the Godlike.Host platform using your email and password.

Configure Your Server

• Server Slots: Determine how many players you want to host on your server. You can often adjust this later if needed.
• Server Settings: Customize your server by setting a world name, adding password protection (if desired), and configuring gameplay options like whether you want PvP (Player vs. Player) mode enabled.

Access Your Server Information

Once your payment is processed, you'll receive an email or notification containing the login information for your Factorio server. This usually includes an IP address and any required login credentials.

Invite Friends and Start Playing

Troubleshooting Tips

• Server Unresponsive: If your server is not responding, double-check the IP address and login credentials. Ensure that the server is online in your Godlike.Host dashboard.
• Performance Issues: In case you encounter lag or performance problems, consider reducing the number of players, adjusting graphics settings, or upgrading your server plan with Godlike.Host.
• Mod Compatibility: If you're using mods and experience issues, ensure that all players have the same mods installed and that they are compatible with your Factorio version.
