Factorio has launched a brand new update today (September 24), so here’s the full list of changes and additions with today’s patch. For those who choose to browse the open servers available across the game, there’s a massive change today. It’s hard to understand in the team’s writing, but to put it in English, users banned from servers for things like griefing and issues of the like can now potentially be banned from other servers for the same reason. This is major in the effort of combating griefers but isn’t all that’s been changed. Without further adieu, here’s everything new with Factorio’s September 24 update!

Factorio September 24 Update Patch Notes

Features

  • Added auth server bans feature for multiplayer games. When enabled this will inform the Factorio.com authentication server of ban and unban commands issued in multiplayer sessions.
