Clusterio is an open-source server framework for Factorio that links multiple game
servers together into a single "cluster". It adds shared storage and resource
transfer across server boundaries, so items you produce on one instance can be
deposited into a shared pool and withdrawn on any other instance. This enables
large-scale player cooperation that wouldn't be possible on a single server.
You can read more about it on the Clusterio GitHub
or the Clusterio Discord.
Join our Discord server first —
server addresses, and any helpful info will be there. You can also check the Event Details page
to learn more.
After that, just open Factorio, go to Multiplayer → Connect to address, and enter
lobby.eternitycluster.com to join the entrance lobby!
The required version will be announced before the event starts, and might update during the event.
Check the Discord #announcements channel or the Event Details
page to keep up to date on what version you need.
Generally using "Latest" on steam will keep to in line with the cluster but sometimes we might run a little behind!
Make sure your game client matches the server version exactly, or you won't be able to connect.
Yes. Clusterio requires a client-side mod to communicate with the cluster backend.
If you try to join the cluster it should prompt you to synchronise your mods to join,
this ought to automatically download the neccesary mods from the in-game mod portal.
If this doesn't work for whatever reason, a complete modpack will be provided before the event
— you can install it via the Factorio in-game mod portal or by manually placing the files in your mods folder.
Do not install any additional mods or you won't be able to join the server.
Dates are TBD and will be announced in the Discord. Join the server and enable
notifications in #announcements so you don't miss it.
The event will run for a fixed window; all progress resets after it ends.
Yes! The servers remain open for the full duration of the event. You can join at
any time, even days after the start, and immediately contribute to the shared
cluster goal. Coordinate with other players on Discord or in-game to see where help is most
needed.
This is a temporary event — all saves and cluster data are specific to this run.
When the event ends the servers close and no saves are carried forward. You are free to save the map from the servers
at any time before the event ends, or to save blueprints of any builds you want. A collection of maps may be made available
after the event however this is not guaranteed and may not be possible to run on a normal computer due to their size!
Announcements about end-of-event archival will be made in Discord.
Yes. Click the Join Discord button at the top right of any page,
or use this invite link.
The Discord is the primary place for announcements, team coordination, technical
support, and general chat.
The live map is available via the Map link
in the navigation bar. It updates periodically and shows player positions,
explored territory, and base footprints across all shards. A Grafana dashboard
is also available for detailed production and flow statistics.
Eternity Cluster is organised by a small team of community volunteers. You can
reach the admins directly in the Discord
server. If you'd like to help run future events, ask in the Discord.
