Sizing
Which plan fits your Factorio server?
Our estimate of the memory a Factorio server uses, and the smallest plan that covers it. Heavy modpacks can need double.
For small teams, the size of your factory matters far more than the number of players. Mini runs most co-op saves, Lite bigger ones; very large bases prefer dedicated cores.
| Players | Vanilla | Lightly modded |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | ≈ 1.6 GB · Mini | ≈ 2.4 GB · Lite |
| 4 | ≈ 1.7 GB · Mini | ≈ 2.5 GB · Lite |
| 8 | ≈ 1.9 GB · Mini | ≈ 2.8 GB · Lite |
| 16 | ≈ 2.3 GB · Lite | ≈ 3.4 GB · Lite |
Networking

| Default port | Protocol | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| 34197 | UDP | Game port |
| 27015 | TCP | RCON (optional) |
