Thanks for this its helped a lot.
A couple of points that didnt work for me.

1. the su lines just opened a shell of that user without running the commands as intended. - I ran them manually.
2. your mod.json includes screepsmod-features that you dont install in setup.sh
   But overall very helpful.

Thanks, this is great! Two problems though:

1. I'm not sure why, but when I install all the mods packages, it removes the screeps package itself, forcing me to have to reinstall the screeps package again.
2. The service won't actually start. The screeps.js start command is throwing an error saying that it can't call mkdir.
