Making a Factorio server public involves configuring your server settings to allow external players to connect and play on it. To do this, you typically need to set your server's visibility to "Public" in the server settings and ensure your server is accessible via the internet with the necessary port forwarding. It's essential to be mindful of server security, as making it public can expose it to a broader audience, potentially requiring moderation and protection against unwanted intrusions or griefing.
Note: Ensure that the server matches the game version. A version mismatch will not allow the client to see or connect to the server.
