https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=4831

Mods go into the mod folder not the data folder.

I try that already and no luck, and also when I load the game the mods I installed didn't show it.

I'm curious, did you try in C:\Program Files\Factorio\mods or %appdata%\Factorio\mods, because if you used the installer (and you probably did since it's in program files) the %appdata% folder is where Factorio will be looking for mods to load (saves would also be in %appdata%\Factorio\saves).

Ok, I've encountered it once where Factorio hadn't created the mods link and so the person had created the folder in Program Files\Factorio manually :)

hm, if I recall correctly 9.8 could load mods from zips and only bob's power is rar (which would need to be extracted)... The only thing I can think of right now (since application data is the correct folder) is that options\other->"automatically enable new mods" has been disabled, of course if they don't show up at all under the mods menu then I'm not sure what's going on, if you haven't tried to extract them then maybe do that.

yeah I did extract these mods in seperate folders by name of mod and it didn't work at all so yes the game doesn't see the mods are installed.
