Hi,

Is it possible to 'allow' a mod for multiple factorio versions?
Like if im testing my mod for 0.13 and 0.14.x (expiremental), i would like it to appear 'compatible' for both versions instead of only 1..

Thanks in advance

Until now: no.

It's an issue:

I'm sure there was a mod uploaded recently where the author mentioned that the same download would work on both 0.13 and 0.14. I'll see if I can find it (I never did get round to testing if or how it worked)....

EDIT: Hrm, couldn't find it. From vague memory he did something like remove the "factorio_version" line from the info.json, or maybe set its value something like ">= 0.13"

The absence of this line means compatibility with <=0.12.

• Mods need to have factorio_version value in their info which specifies major Factorio version they are suited for, default value is 0.12. Mods with non fitting version are not loaded.

This defeats the purpose of the factorio_version line, so it won't be implemented
