Overview

Depending on your installation method and OS, you will have one or two directories that contain Factorio assets, and one that contains user data, such as saves and mods.

User data directory

Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies. Mac Catalina Disclaimer: i dont own a mac or any apple device, i am just courious. Will factorio stop supporting Mac Catalina because of the fact that they will need to pay apple just for the fact that they support their os? For Mac OS X: /Library/Application Support/factorio/mods If the mod is installed correctly, start Factorio, and it should show on the 'mods' page accessed from the game's main menu. Mods can also be enabled or disabled from this menu. Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies.

The user data directory is where personal files are stored:

• Save files ./saves
• Mods ./mods
• Script-output, e.g. from /screenshot ./script-output
• Local scenarios./scenarios
• Local settings ./config/config.ini
• log filesfactorio-*.log
• Crash dump files factorio-dump-*.dmp

Locations

Search your computer for the directory location, or type the path into your file manager address bar.

The %appdata% shorthand translates to your local version of C:Users[user name]AppDataRoaming

MacOSX:

Linux distributions:

When using Steam on Windows, the config.ini, achievements.dat, modded-achievements.dat and player-data.json can also be found in

Application directory

The application directory stores three things:

• Factorio executables ./bin
• Data for vanilla Factorio ./data
• API documentation ./doc-html

Changing the user data directory

You can create a file config-path.cfg to configure Factorio to any directory.

Please see this discussion (for MacOS, but should work on any other OS).

In order to change the user data directory, user must edit the location of the 'write-data' entry in the file (Game install directory)/config/config.ini. This affects the location of mods, scenario and temp.

Linux

Update __Game_Install_directory/config-path.cfg

Update __Game_Install_directory/config/config.ini

You could set the write-data value to .factorio if you prefer. Neverwinter nights: enhanced edition download.

Once you have done this, you can remove write permissions to the entire game installation directory except for config/config.ini, which must be writable by all people who wish to play the game.

Note that if someone changes any options, in-game, those option changes will apply to everyone who plays on the same computer.

Installation from Zip File

The unzipped Factorio directory.

A list of all things found here:

• Save games (as zip files)
• User-installed/created Mods.
• User-installed/created scenarios.
• User configuration and settings storage
• Log file (factorio-*.log)
• Player data (player-data.json)

Note: Deleting the configuration file will result in a default replacement being generated upon the next Factorio launch.

It is recommended to create backups from this directory (of saves, config, etc) before installing a new version.
