Audio Formats?

Post by RalleYTN »

Just wanted to ask which audio formats for sound effects are valid. I looked at the base mod and could only see .OGG files. now I wanted to know if other formats are allowed too and if yes which formats
I'm currently working on a tool that will allow everyone to create mods for Factorio without having to learn any of the complicated stuff.

I recommend using OGG as audio format for modding purposes.
OGG has the big advantage that it can have the same quality as a high quality MP3 file while OGG uses a way smaller bitrate.

Seems like this shows up in some search results and I just documented this, so here is the answer:
Support sound file formats are .ogg, .wav and .voc.
