[LINUX] Factorio Headless Server Guide

So, with credit to the Factorio wiki and cbednarski's helpful gist, I managed to eventually setup a Factorio headless server. Although, I thought the process could be nailed down/simplified to be a bit more 'tutorialised' and also to document how I got it all working for my future records.

The specific distro/version I'm using for this guide being Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 LTS. Although, that shouldn't matter, as long as your distro supports systemd (just for this guide, not a Factorio headless requirement, although most distros use it as standard now). The version of Factorio I shall be using is 0.14.20, although should work for any version of Factorio 0.14.12 and higher.

If you prefer a simple, automated setup, [Bisa has a really handy init script that will do most of the work for

    qApp->setStyle(QStyleFactory::create("Fusion"));

    QPalette darkPalette;
    darkPalette.setColor(QPalette::Window, QColor(53,53,53));
    darkPalette.setColor(QPalette::WindowText, Qt::white);
    darkPalette.setColor(QPalette::Base, QColor(25,25,25));
    darkPalette.setColor(QPalette::AlternateBase, QColor(53,53,53));
    darkPalette.setColor(QPalette::ToolTipBase, Qt::white);
    darkPalette.setColor(QPalette::ToolTipText, Qt::white);
    darkPalette.setColor(QPalette::Text, Qt::white);

Previous versions used homebrew to install the various versions. As suggested in the comments, it's better to use pyenv instead. If you are looking for the previous version of this document, see the revision history.

$ brew update
$ brew install pyenv
$ pyenv install 3.5.0
$ pyenv install 3.4.3
$ pyenv install 3.3.6
$ pyenv install 3.2.6
$ pyenv install 2.7.10

$ pyenv install 2.6.9

    let mut bytes_left = ((*src as i32) << 8) + 1;
