Researching this randomized science-pack slot can send a location check when the generated mod assigns it to a technology.
COMMUNITY INTEGRATION
FactorioArchipelago randomizer mod
Automate a factory whose technologies arrive from other worlds. Archipelago 0.6.8 isolates the server data directory and fixes saved-research catch-up.

GAME MECHANICS
Explore game mechanics
Browse possible checks, rewards and settings. What appears in your game depends on your World options.
The 0.6.8 source maps 6,177 usable candidate checks: 5,994 science-pack research slots across Automation through Utility Science and 183 optional CraftSanity checks. The source table also reserves 999 Space Science slot IDs, but MaxSciencePack.get_allowed_packs() excludes that post-launch tier, so those IDs are not listed as playable checks. Default settings create 179 checks: one per useful technology; CraftSanity and all trap counts default to zero. A seed selects only a subset of candidate research slots, based on its options and generated technology set.

Playing with others
Solo or shared-factory co-op. Several engineers can progress one Archipelago slot; separate factories use separate slots and servers. The guide also discusses asynchronous rooms.
Known scope and limitations
- Use the per-seed, per-slot Factorio mod generated by Archipelago 0.6.8, not a universal mod ZIP. Its metadata requires Factorio 2.0/base 2.0.28 or newer and explicitly excludes Space Age.
- A dedicated Factorio server process is still required, even for solo play. The 0.6.8 code isolates its data/configuration so it can reuse an installation, but the shipped guide still instructs a separate standalone installation; follow that documented setup when starting.
- Keep backups of the generated mod, configuration and factory save. Version 0.6.8 corrects a research catch-up comparison, but a failed RCON item batch does not have a fully transactional retry path.
- Restart the bridge when changing factories, seeds or slots. Shared AP session state is reset on an identity change, but the Factorio-specific send cursor and timing of RCON catch-up are not fully covered by that reset.
- The RCON password is passed in the local game process arguments. Keep diagnostics/process information private, avoid exposing the RCON interface, and use a protected AP connection when available.
- Destructive trap options can damage or permanently alter a factory. Leave unwanted traps disabled when generating the seed; their presence is not a guarantee that all prior progress can be restored.
- The actual Linux APWorld matches all nine Python source modules structurally and 22 bundled non-code files byte-for-byte. The Windows release archive was hash-verified, but its internal files could not be compared with the available reader. No game session was performed.
