Mod scenario vs Player scenario

[DRY411S]

What's the difference?

[Bilka]

Which two things do you mean?

[DRY411S]

1) Mod scenario
2) Player scenario

[Klonan]

Mod scenarios are added by mods, like base mod, and located in the mod folder, such as base/scenarios

User scenarios are created in the map editor or added to the user directory by hand, and are all located in %appdata%/factorio/scenarios

Why isn't mod_dir/scenarios implemented?

It would not work really, mods should add scenarios as part of the mod, for example:
https://github.com/Klonan/factory-floor

So can mod scenarios have data stages, but player scenarios cannot?

No, the mods can, but scenarios can contain only script, map data, locale and some other minor (runtime) things

There is effectively no difference between the two, only where they are located/installed from

Ok so last question. Do all players need to have the mod scenario installed before they can join a server? For player scenarios they don't.

As long as the mod does no data or prototype changes, and has no custom scripts outside the campaign/scenario files, only the server will need the scenario mod installed

This can be confirmed by checking the mod description:



If it says synchonisation is not needed, then people connecting to the server will not need to have the mod installed

Will downloadable scenarios become a part of the mod database?

They already are. That's what prompted my OP.

Factory Floor by Klonan is an example.
