1. Download & Explanation of the number system I use on my downloads.
2. Modular modpack explanation & How to disable mods you don't like.
3. Requirements you need to run this modpack.
4. How to Install the modpack.



1. Download Latest Version: SP & MP compatible and tested :) !

Mirror 1: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/apnmnjrxk8qpe
Mirror 2: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q73frq1zwyx8 ... aoY-a?dl=0


The highest number is always the most updated!

Explanation of the version system

0-0-0

The first number so in this case 0 if THIS number changes it means ALL saves are INCOMPATIBLE with the older version of my modpack.

The second number 0 if this changes. It means your saves are compatible but might cause issues or remove entities.

The third number 0 if this changes. It means your saves are compatible and nothing will be removed :) Simply an update on the mods! No worries here!



2. It's a modular modpack!

What does that mean?

Mean's you can disable mostly ANY mod that's not a dependency of another mod. You can do this under the mods section:)

How do you do this?

Go to the main menu and click mods! In there you can click on the mods you don't want and hit disable! YES this is possible! Just make sure NO mods are red after you did this :)







3. [Requirements]

2 GB Video card or higher. (Yes this modpack does consume VRAM like google chrome does with your normal RAM) else it MIGHT fail! you can try but no guarantee's.
Decent CPU for late game: anywhere from 2,4 GH'z or up will do!
At least 1 to 3 GB's of free ram! preferably more! (Yes it eats more ram than google chrome does...)

Why so stupidly high and the normal game requires a low amount of specs?....

Trust me this modpack loads around 2x the game in the amount of items scripts and other things it might have. I'll try to make a lite-pack available in the future!

PS: Average Vram usage on Modpack = 700-900MB Vram for now! Make sure your card suffices otherwise it will simply not load and close with a sprite error!
====================================================================================================================================================================================


4. [Installation]

Read whats above? If not.. GO READ IT!

Step by Step guide.

1. Download the modpack from this page!
2. Doubleclick the modpack and open it! Now select all the contents that are in there and copy them
3. Navigate to C:\Users\*******\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\mods
4. Paste all the contents from my modpack to this folder! Make SURE this folder is EMPTY. even the mod-list.json!
5. Run the game ... It started? Good. Now close it! Why? This is regarding your mod-list.json
6. Run the game again! Loading takes long? Stuck at 10% loading mods? Good! means your mods are loading. Leave that for a while :)
7. You got past the loading screen without crashes/bugs? Good! you made it!
8. Play! or don't... :P
9. Dislike some of the mods? Go to the main menu and click mods! In there you can click on the mods you don't want and hit disable! YES this is possible! Just make sure NO mods are red after you did this :)

Very odd :O As it IS just a normal Mediafire download! ill make sure to include a virus total link :) Sorry for the inconvenience I do NOT spread any virusses/backdoors as that is never my intent. Nor is my system infected.

EDIT: seems you already ran it through virustotal :) I wonder what NANO-Antivirus picks up as a virus...
2ND-EDIT: Seems Nano-Antivirus is a russian free-ware antivirus... sounds shady lol oh well :P I don't think it should even be in the virustotal list.

Updated the subforum to make it a bit more clean and professional looking. Also a bit more oversight to what you can and cannot do with the modpack :)

Already 0.0.3 and no unfortunately not .-. I am working on setting up github so the changelogs get generated automatically :) However it's just adding more mods and setting up vram optimization :) Nothing gamebreaking! oh and updating mod versions like Ion Cannon since that seemed to bug out in MP :)

Very good suggestions will add today in release however rso will be disabled by default since just a handful of people like it. You can turn it on in the modsmenu:)

I tried Mega.. Only 10 GB of bandwith.. I'd go through it in probably a week :l So that won't work I am sorry. I will however find an alternative option and more mirrors to ensure a nice & fast dl :) Mediafire is temporary.
