it does
"ocal-multiplayer (server-client) 0.12.26 HowTo
local-multiplayer (server-client) 0.12.26 HowTo in 9 steps (win/dedicated)
copy your %appdata%\Factorio\config\config.ini to %appdata%\Factorio\config\config-server.ini (copy of it!)
edit in your client ini (config.ini) the port to '34198'
open config-server.ini and edit ' write-data=__PATH__system-write-data__' to 'write-data=__PATH__system-write-data__/server' and save it
create a directory in %appdata%\Factorio named \server and %appdata%\Factorio\server\saves\
copy a singleplayer created and saved map to f.e. MPTest from %appdata%\Factorio\saves to %appdata%\Factorio\server\saves\
create a txt file in ~\Steam\Steamapps\common\Factorio and insert with copy/paste ' start /wait Factorio.exe --start-server MPTest.zip -c %appdata%\Factorio\config\config-server.ini ' and save it as server.bat
forward your router to port '34197' (serverport) (UDP only)
go to whatismyip.com and let your friends connect to ip:34197
have fun (YOU can connect via Factorio -Multiplayer by typing 'localhost' )
Be sure that the server.bat contains the exact mapname -by hitting this, the server starts."

maybe you and op should look into the "multiplayer" subforum and the "multiplayer-faq"?
you linked the faq about factorio in general on steam and what to expect

[Mansen]

You never specified a particular FAQ though - I am merely pointing that out.

I know perfectly well that there IS an FAQ for this kind of thing - But it's hidden well away for anyone coming HERE to ask a question.

[Stealth]

so you expect the dev´s to expect people to ask multiplayer related things in the general forum? hidden is the wrong word here

[Mansen]

What ports a game use are entirely basic information to expect players to ask for any non-UPNP or lobbyless game.

So... yes. And as I pointed out telling people to go look at a non-descriptive FAQ is not the right answer. Pointing them to the location of said FAQ is...

the right thing - do you expect everyone to point 25k people a day to the right infos? there is such things as commonsense , at least where i come from

A simple google search "factorio default router port" gives you the result (the first one no less) without having to even open the page.

Then we could have avoided this thread entirely instead of devolving in to bickering over FAQ's made all the more pointless by the fact that the OP got their answer in the first response.
