Create a Factorio Account
Before you can make your server public, you will need a Factorio account and an authentication token.
To get started, make an account on https://factorio.com if you haven’t already. The account will be used to authenticate your server with Factorio. If you purchased your game from steam, it's very simple to link your account once logged into https://factorio.com/profile.
Finding Your Authentication Token

- Next to Token you’ll notice your token is hidden. Go ahead and reveal this and copy the token.
