Features

• Added auth server bans feature for multiplayer games. When enabled this will inform the Factorio.com authentication server of ban and unban commands issued in multiplayer sessions. Designed to combat griefers in multiplayer games, it will also query the authentication server for a ban recommendation when a user tries to connect.

If anybody has any questions about the Factorio Auth server bans, please leave a comment here or on the Forum.

The bans are based on the Factorio account of the user.

The Auth bans are only in effect if the server has user verification enabled. So if you join a server that doesn't verify user names, it cannot check ban status (as by definition, unauthenticated servers don't contact our servers for anything).

For now its just a true/false banned or not. In the future we may add some customization, like number of bans, or something. First we'll see how effective it is with the most rudimentry system.

There is a threshold of ban activity that needs to be met, 1 ban certainly isn't enough
