The mod directory in %AppData%/Factorio/mods should be a symlink to MMFs managed mod directory.
If that is not the case MMF failed to overwrite it. Try deleting the directory manually and start MMF as administrator.

When trying to start Factorio 0.18.1 with Bob's Logistics 0.18.0 I get the following error: Failed to load mods: __boblogistics__/data-updates.lua:2: ...blogistics__/prototypes/recipe/robots-recipe-updates.lua:427: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'bob' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...blogi...

A safety measure. As I described previously, in the beginning I got some reports of people losing their saves or corrupting their installations. I switched over to copying everything to be on the safe side, and the original will remain completely untouched.

The Steam version is controlled by Steam alone, the only place to change its version is through Steam. MMF starts it through Steam with command line "-applaunch 427520" and not directly. I don't really know what you mean by "copy over the files" but all versions listed in the Man...

The issue you're experiencing seems to be caused by ModMyFactory failing to link Factorios mod directory to its own.
Try deleting the Factorio mod directory and then start MMF as administrator.

Honestly I don't know, I don't own a Mac to test it.
The Linux build should in theory work on Mac, however as I'm not familiar with the platform there may be some things that don't work properly.
People will have to try and tell me about any issues.

Yes just a simple animation running at all times is fine. Thank you!

I was experimenting with the Turret.base_picture property just now (which is of type Animation4Way) and I noticed the game only ever displays the first frame of the animation. This is in my oppinion misleading, a property of type Animation4Way should support all features of the type Animation4Way. W...

As it currently stands no.
I am working on a whole new cross platform solution that will support Linux headless servers atm. However to use that you require full root terminal access so a rented game server will probably not do the trick, a virtual root server would be needed.

You need to log in with a Factorio.com account. That is a different account than the one for the forum!

You also need to have a valid game license linked to it. If you bought on steam you can link it using the key that came with it.

Is the installation you have added from the installer or the manual package?
If it's the installer it may be possible there is some configuration that causes Factorio to use the appdata save folder instead of the one in its directory.

Actually you're correct in both cases. It's just that when adding a Factorio installation all of the saves are automatically copied to the MMF directory so you can continue where you left off.

@Slothy4K Try deleting your settings file in %appdata%/ModMyFactory @morsk You want "compatible with 0.17" at the very top of the first post? @CapnCrinklepants I'm not sure if Steam allows starting of external games using command line. If it does it's not currently supported and would impo...

Fixed a hard crash on startup with certain mods installed.

First preview of the mod settings tools in ModMyFactory. Currently settings can be edited on a per-mod basis just like in Factorio, but they stay saved at all times. I also plan on storing settings on a per-modpack basis but still need to iron out some issues. Also there is still an open question ab...

Changelog:

• Added auto-updater
• Fixed possible crash when creating links.

Changelog:

• Fixed mods not properly (de-)activating in Factorio.
• Fixed drag & drop for mods not working in some cases.
• Fixed possible freeze when adding Factorio Steam version.

Alright so the freeze is actually caused by a really stupid bug. :D You already have both "Factorio-old" and "Factorio-old-1" directories inside your AppData and MMF fails to count forward because I forgot a ++ in the code. Remove either one or both of those directories from ther...

Confirmed, I'll take a look at it when I have time.
