AWF OARC for Clusterio

clusterio-plugin-awf_oarc runs the AWF version of the OARC separated-spawn scenario as a Clusterio save-patched module.

Requirements

• Clusterio 2.x
• Node.js 22 or later
• Factorio 2.1.23 (tested with the base game only)

Other Factorio 2.1 releases may work, but have not been verified. Back up an existing save before enabling the plugin for the first time.

Install

Install the plugin in every Clusterio installation that runs a controller or host for this instance. Run the command that matches the Clusterio process in that installation directory:

npx clusteriocontroller plugin install clusterio-plugin-awf_oarc
npx clusteriohost plugin install clusterio-plugin-awf_oarc

If the controller and host share one Clusterio installation, install the package only once.

Enable the awf_oarc plugin on the controller, host, and target instance, then start the instance. Clusterio injects the scenario module into the save during startup.

If upgrading from a deployment that used the old oarc plugin name, disable or remove the old plugin first. Do not enable both copies for the same instance.

What it provides

• Separate starting areas for players and teams
• Player progression bonuses
• Markets, death markers, and item and energy sharing
• Offline base protection
• A Players-tab lifetime coin total

Players may disable Share my total coin earned with other players. Their total will then appear as “Private” to other players while remaining visible to themselves. Existing saves share totals until each player opts out.

Updating

Stop the affected Clusterio processes, install the new package version in each Clusterio installation, and start them again. Make a save backup before updating the plugin.
