What are the "must have"-properties in the info.json?

Post by RalleYTN »

I know that version and name are a "must have". but are there other properties that the file has to contain?

Required fields are: version, title, author and you could say also factorio_version, because if you don't specify it, it will default to "0.12"

Off-topic, but could you also include image thumbnail and git repo URL in that mod details form? (Bonus points for git integration :) )
Better forum search for modders: Enclose your search term in quotes, eg. "font_color" or "custom-input" - it prevents the forum search from splitting on hypens and underscores, resulting in much more accurate results.

the software is still in development. I will create a repo once version 0.1.0 of it is out. I already have a dev-blog in the tools subforum. search for Factorio Mod Creator Studio
