Hey there,
any chance to get this running on Centos 7 with alternative glibc 2.18? (yum, systemD init)

Hello,

To quote Oxyd from the forum post:
RHEL is notorious for shipping ancient software. glibc 2.18 was released in 2013, there is no reason why it shouldn't be available everywhere by now. RHEL users will simply have to upgrade to a distro that ships non-ancient software. Even Debian Jessie (oldstable) ships with glibc 2.19.

Hey @psihius,
but as RHEL/CENTOS is the OS we got on our Servers - I unfortunately have to deal with it! ;-)
Factorio Headless is already running smoothly on this System (it's no Problem to build custom glibc 2.18 for it)
Factorio-Init Script added Support for alternative glibc Path - not sure how hard it would be to implement it in this Script too? (Bisa/factorio-init@9a2af54)
