$program is a helper tool for managing multiple Factorio instances.
 

	
 
Each instance is designated a dedicated directory, which contains all
 
of its configuration files, saves games, and mods, and is kept
 
separate from all other instances.
 

	
 
A single Factorio version installation (base files) can be used by
 
multiple instances, but each instance is bound to a specific version
 
of Factorio.
 
Each instance is bound to a specific game version, and the manager
 
fully supports working with multiple versions of Factorio. Base game
 
files are kept intact and can be shared by multiple instances.
 

	
 
Factorio Manager keeps instances in sub-directories under the
 
~/.factorio/ directory. Sub-directories are named after the
 
instances. The following instance names are reserved for special use
 
by the tool:
 
~/.factorio/ directory. Sub-directories correspond to instance
 
names.

    Sets the passed-in directory path as the base directory where
 
    different versions of Factorio will be looked-up. Each
 
    sub-directory within this directory should be named after the
 
    version of Factorio it represents, and should be the base
 
    directory under which the Factorio installation files can be
 
    found.

backup INSTANCE [DESCRIPTION]
 

	
 
    Creates backup of an instance. All backups will be stored as
 
    subdirectories under the .bak directory within the instance
 
    directory. An optional description can be passed-in to make it
 
    easier to distinguish between different backups. Hidden files

    arguments. Command will refuse to overwrite destination instance
 
    if it already exists. Command will prompt user to specify desired
