Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/2252

User Story

When I try to update the server with an experimental branch (in the fctrserver.cfg branch="0.17.21" not branch="experimental" because the experimental gets the version number 0.17.23) the server fails to update with error 404 Imgur Image of the update failed.

Basic info

Distro: [Ubuntu 18.04]
Game: [Factorio]
Command: [Update] with an experimental branch that is not the newest version

Further Information

Doesn't get the correct url to download the server files. Which is "https://factorio.com/get-download/0.17.21/headless/linux64". Maybe get branch to edit the link (except if running stable or experimental) it tries to download the headless version from, as the only change in the link is .../0.17.21/... part

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

Go to 'fctrserver.cfg'
Add/edit branch to '0.17.21 or something other than stable/experimental'
Do './fctrserver update'
See error

Expected behaviour

Not get 404 error :)

I found a workaround that lets me start a version 0.17.21 server, which includes downloading the correct version directly from the link above, and pasting it over the already installed server.

Should be fixed with:
target: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/blob/master/lgsm/functions/update_factorio.sh
Line: #156
else
downloadbranch = "${branch}"
fi

Tested, working.
