When building fill percentage status indicator bars, it would be very useful if the color could be made visible on the map, optionally per lamp of course.

Here's a quick mockup of how it could look like:

It's not yet implemented.

I'm confused about something. None of the instructions for how to use FMM tell me how to get the "install using FMM" button on the Factorio Mods website. I have Java installed, I have FMM installed and running, but clicking "Install" on any mod on the website does nothing. What's up with that ...

Sorry guys I accidentally dragged the file without libraries. My build system makes 2 files and I got the wrong one.

Please go back to the release page and download it again.

Small bugfix release

I'm actually creating the directory.

This works on any OS except Windows 7. I'll have a look on what's wrong there.

EDIT: I see why it's happening now. I'm checking for directories but the service that listens for directory changes is launched before that happens. Simple fix.

EDIT EDIT: Also I'm ...

Maybe try running with cmd:


java -jar FactorioModManger-0.2.0.jar

Nope


I'm running Java 8 u60 on Windows 10 without any issues from the Batch file.

My Batch file is "java -jar "E:\Program Files\Factorio\ModManager\FactorioModManager-0.2.0.jar""

I think it's Windows 7 specific. I have a ...

I made a google drive spreadsheet outlining stuff I understand about the protocol. If anyone sees something they know what it means, feel free to add a comment about it

If you have valuable items on the belt, initialize it by putting worthless items on it until the dead ends of the splitters are filled with those. Collect all the residue at the end of the band and then you have your belt system ready for the valuable items.

I've been wondering how the network protocol works, because I want to offer a feature in my mod manager that detects mods needed to play on a multiplayer server so it is able to install those mods before launching factorio.

Anyway, I've used a network sniffer to get some of the handshake between ...

Having an issue if the mods aren't in a zip file.

I downloaded the 5DIM pack (contains all their mods in 1 zip) and because Factorio doesn't like mods packaged like that unzipped to the right location and the Mod Manager didn't copy them across.
Yup, it doesn't support anything unzipped right now ...

Kinda related, is it possible to modify behaviour / GUI outside of the game itself? That would be main menu and such.

I don't understand? I can push arguments to the executable in the MacOS folder with the --args flag. I can also directly launch the executable as if I used some command line tool.

Tried the command line arguments listed in the wiki (https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/index.php?title=GameClient) on OS X and none of them work.

Tested with factorio 0.11.22, 0.12, 0.12.1

Either with `open Factorio.app --args <startup args>` or with `Factorio.app/Content/MacOS/factorio <startup ...

Correct. The next version will have this.

Yeah we can do that. I'll PM you my details.

Hmm, people still use my launcher? Interesting.
But good luck to your mod manager, I am interested in how you do your downloads, the temporary manual method in mine was supposed to have been changed when somone I was talking to was going to make a huge mod site that would allow mod managers and ...

I intentionally didn't want to include automatic updates because that's super messy when there's no central repository.


well that is exactly the point I want to try to adress in my idea of a modmanager :)
I will have my new computer tomorrow if everything go according to plan and will then be ...

I can however make it easier to update mods. As I want to read mods from savegames soon to collect all the mods needed to play a save and then launch factorio with those mods ...
