Fresh install looks for package core in /usr/share/factorio on Ubuntu
Posted: Sun Sep 22, 2019 1:44 pm
Hi
I have downloaded this version: https://factorio.com/get-download/0.16.51/alpha/linux64 Generic Linux tar package
After download, I unpacked it into ~
But when I try to start it, I get this error:
I tried to create a config.ini file where I could set the paths. I tried to place it next to the binary. It did not work. I tried to look up an existing config.ini in ~./.local/factorio; ~/.factorio, but these directories do not exist.
Any idea how to fix it?
I do not want to install Steam.
