Factorio.pid

I'm sorry that I have to create that new issue but googling didn't lead to a solution, therefor I'm guessing this is a bug. I get this error when trying service factorio start

# systemctl status factorio.service

in my factorio folder there is no Factorio.pid file! Is this file supposed to be generated? Or am I supposed to copy this file from somewhere else? System info: Debian headless server

Check the permissions of you /opt/factorio folder (ensure the user has write permissions there) Also have a look further down, the binary does not seem to be able to access any saves in /opt/factorio/saves

I'm sorry it doesn't work for me! Contents of the folders including permissions: /opt/factorio:

factorio in /opt has rwxrwxrwx

Don't you worry I changed the permissions of folders factorio saves and contents of saves to rwxrwxrwx only for testing purposes but it didn't work either! Is there anything else I can try?

I'm so very sorry for wasting your time! I actually overlooked the ownership of /opt, well that was the problem! Thanks a lot for this tool!
