Factorio Forums

Hi,

I am trying to create my own mod just for fun, but it doesent work. We were trying to add a new inserter a fast-long-hand-inserter.

Look, here is the folder structure

I copied this from wiki for the info.json data

"name": "foo-mod",
"version": "0.1.0",
"title": "Foo Mod",
"author": "Factorio team",
"contact": "dev@factorio.com",
"homepage": "http://factorio.com",
"description": "Basic mod with all the default game data and standard campaign.",
"dependencies": ["base >= 0.4.1", "scenario-pack", "? bar = 0.3"]

When we tested the firs time, our mod contained only the info.json data, but the game didn't recognize our mod.

Later we had in the mod the info.jason file , graphics, prototype and ressources, but it also dont worked the game dont show our mod so what is wrong we have read the wiki to create a mod but it dosent work.

Thank you for your attention!

Are your files in their own folder inside of factorio's mod folder?

yes on

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\mods\ Modname

its a zip file others mods i downloaded worked all with the system i have copied i would understand if the mod dont would do what i plan but that the mod isnt showing up in the game is really strange for me.

Try putting just the files in the folder, sometimes with zip it doesn't work correctly.

Okay without the zip i get a error pop up when i start the game

this is actually my jason file hope its correct

{
"name": "GeileneueSachen",
"version": "0.11.8",
"title": "GeileneueSachen",
"author": "Pascal",
"contact": "",
"homepage": "",
"description": "Mod that adds a fast-longhand inserter to Factorio"
}

At least the game is recognizing the mod is there now.

The error message is clear The mod folder needs to be called GeileneueSachen_0.1.1

Omg thanks i just feel like a noob nice so the mod is showing up not working but that was clear for me just have too correct some files

No worries, good luck with your mod!
