Hey guys, we're trying to build the next-gen gaming server host, where people would pay by-the-hour, instead of monthly, to save on costs.

We're in public beta, and we'd happily host your Factorio games, if you'd like to play with your friends, family and team, in exchange for feedback on reliability and service as a whole.

The website is https://warp.cool/

My Discord @adamwarp

Just let me know if you're interested, and I'll assign you your credits.

Your feedback would be invaluable to us!

(Factorio players welcome as well)

How do you plan to handle large worlds that are used infrequently?

​We’ve implemented Google Drive and OneDrive integrations so you can offload dormant servers to your own storage to save on hosting costs.

Performance-wise, we’ve tested worlds up to 20GB without issues. Spin-up times are slightly longer at that size, but in our European and North American test runs, start times stayed comfortably under 10 minutes.

​What's the plan for servers where multiple people may want to play but not at the same times?

​We have server collaborators, allowing you to add multiple admins who can start and stop the server whenever they want.

Currently, the hosting cost sits entirely with the server owner, but we are planning community server features where groups can split the bill.

​What's the story around importing existing worlds and exporting worlds?

​Already fully functional. Both importing and exporting are handled directly through Game Saves.

​Will you allow mods?

​We already do, as long as they are within guidelines. You can drag and drop your entire setup, and active testers have full access to edit and manage server files directly.

Do you have any other questions, or specific features you'd like to see added?

    Thanks for the question - a 3-hour session on a Medium plan (up to 5 players), at 8 credits/hr is 24 credits ≈ €1.2 at the planned credit price. A full evening of 5 hours is about €2.

    If it's a smaller server, then even less than that.

    Do you have anything else I could help with?

    That's cool, I do see you have mod support like getting bedrock players on java servers which is great

    Thank you, that took a while to build!

    What about auto stopping and auto starting support? Ahh, reading further I see the below. Could that be customized? I have mine set to when the last player leaves wait 5 min then shutdown.

    Auto-shuts down after 20 minutes with no players

    Yup, 20 mins as the default.

    Anything other you'd like to see as a feature?

    Hey, Uroš here, hijacking Adam's account. I'm on the tech side of things here. We actually use our own orchestration/backend rather than AMP. We provision the infrastructure through cloud providers directly and handle deployment, backups/restores and server lifecycle ourselves. The game servers themselves are containerized where appropriate.
