Factorio Forums

I recently came across 'Broke For Free' by My Luck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESjJbNLcQhY. I think that it sounds like something straight from Factorio, would be cool if it could be included in the game? I feel as if it has that kind of 'productivity' feel to it.

You may add whatever song to the soundtrack by adding the corresponding ogg file in the \data\base\sound\ambient subdir in your Factorio directory
btw why post in "Outdated / won't implement ideas" ?

I think it's the right place...

All of the ambient music in the game was made by one composer and is designed to match with each other. I doubt the devs intend to add new music that doesn't quite have the same style and might be subject to licenses (in this case CC-BY which requires giving credit and a link to the license).
You also need to consider that once the devs do so then other players will make requests with their own taste in music, complicating the issue.

Only placing it there is not enough, you need to add it to data\base\prototypes\ambient-sounds.lua for Factorio to play it.

Editing base files is not recommended though (can mess with the updater and prevent multiplayer from working), instead add new songs or replace the soundtrack using mods, for example:

• Nine Inch Nails Ambient Music Tracks - 69 new tracks
• Tangerine Music Labs - Ambient Jams Mod
• Atmospheric Soundtrack - Moon
