How to Enable or Disable Space Age DLC on Your Factorio Server

Space Age is controlled through mod-list.json, not server-settings.json. It consists of three mod entries:

Enabling Space Age

In mods/mod-list.json:

{
  "mods": [
    {"name": "base", "enabled": true},
    {"name": "elevated-rails", "enabled": true},
    {"name": "quality", "enabled": true},
    {"name": "space-age", "enabled": true}
  ]
}

Disabling Space Age

Set all three to false:

{"name": "elevated-rails", "enabled": false},
{"name": "quality", "enabled": false},
{"name": "space-age", "enabled": false}

⚠️ Important: Modify mod-list.json BEFORE the first server launch. Saves created with Space Age cannot simply have it disabled later.

💡 Tip: If the server keeps re-enabling the mods, delete the space-age, quality, and elevated-rails directories from the server's data/ folder.
