Changing the version on a Factorio server covers various technical and gameplay requirements. Selecting a newer release applies recent bug fixes, performance improvements, and newly added game features. Conversely, rolling back to an older version is often necessary to maintain compatibility with specific mods or modpacks that do not support the latest release.

Note: Newer saves are incompatible with older Factorio versions.
