Changing Game Versions of Factorio

At Gameserverkings, we offer the ability to use a variety of different game versions. This way you can use mods that may only work for a certain version, or bypass a specific game patch by using an older version.

It is important to back up your files before you do this! We highly recommend that you do not downgrade Factorio versions unless you are running a freshly installed server. Downgrading can have unintended consequences due to version incompatibilities and is likely to cause errors or corruption.
