    Rent your own prepaid Factorio server now at nitrado.net

     

    The game Factorio offers the possibility to install modifications on both the client and the server. This page will guide you through the process of installing mods.

    Important Notes

    • The client and the server must always have identical modifications installed.
    • The modification must be compatible with the game version. Otherwise, the server/client may not start, or you might encounter issues.

    Some mods depend on other mods to function correctly. If all dependencies are not uploaded to the server, the mods will not load properly. You can check the dependencies for the mods in-game or in the mod description on the links provided at the end of this page.

    Installation Client-Side

    • Download the desired modification.
    • Copy the ZIP archive to the following directory:
    • For Windows: C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/Factorio/mods/
    • For Linux: ~/.factorio/mods/
    • For Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/factorio/mods/
    • Start the game.
    • Activate the modification if necessary in the menu.

    Installation on The Server

    • Download the desired modification.

    • Stop the game server.

    • Upload the ZIP archive to the /factorio/mods directory using an FTP program, the information on how to connect should be on your web interface, it will look like this and say FTP credentials.

    • When the mod is uploaded under the mods folder in your remote site (your server) it should look like this.

     

    • Start the game server.
    • You have successfully installed a mod on the server.
