Launching multiple Factorio servers from same interface

Hi With regards to #3 - That would be great!

I run now severeal instances of FSM - one for each factorio instance to "manage" them

I suggest that FSM can be started without the --dir and just add paths in the conf.json file instead. And also require separate factorio path - one for each server - Just to make things easier coding wise and avoid locked files problems

MineOS for mindcraft does this ( https://minecraft.codeemo.com/ )

@EvilIgor there are talks about this, but it requires almost a complete rewrite of the code. While this sounds easy in theory the code was not written with multiple instances in mind, thus takes a lot of changes to make it work (and a LOT more testing). Perhaps in some future release this will be added.

not only would this be very useful to add. it would allow for performance improvements while having a rewrite.
