Getting an error after updating:

Failed to open dedicated_srv.so (/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found (required by bin/libstdc++.so.6))

Any simple solution to this? I found a similar solution here (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=54654) but it looks like it would take me quite a bit of time/work to fix

@Jerbs

Sorry about that, I think I've fixed it. Try updating your server again and running it.

That's when you kill somebody and the Captain says some kind of taunt toward them. Those kill taunts happen like 20% of the time, but they're there.

The chest kill taunts are the same thing, but if you kill somebody by throwing a chest at them. I think these happen more often.
