Hey @midweekmouse505,

I saw your post and wanted to help troubleshoot your Factorio world creation issue in AMP Phobos v2.6.2.0. Since this issue occurs after updating to the BETA, here are some steps to try:

Steps to Fix:

  1. Check AMP Logs for Errors – Look at AMP/logs to see if there are any errors related to world generation.
  2. Verify Factorio Mod Compatibility – Some mods may interfere with world creation. Try temporarily removing mods and starting the server again.
  3. Ensure Correct World Generation Settings – Double-check that AMP is correctly configured to generate a new world file.
  4. Test Manual World Creation – Try manually generating a world outside AMP using Factorio’s built-in commands.
  5. Check for Known Issues – If upgrading doesn’t fix it, check AMP forums or GitHub issues for similar reports.

A Few Questions to Help Troubleshoot:

  • Does the server log show any errors when attempting to create a new world?
  • Have you tried starting the server without mods to see if the issue persists?
  • Does Factorio generate a world file manually outside AMP?

Let me know if any of these steps help or if you can provide more details—I’d be happy to troubleshoot further! :rocket:
