Factorio Forums

Hi,

I see that a lot of people speaking about their huge maps and factories, and showing images or videos, but I wonder if there is a repository on the web with some existing saved map.
I would likely have a "live" look at these "pro" maps, by loading them in my sown game and watch them running.
So :
- is it technically possible to exchange map with another user ?
- is there places on the web with such maps ? or tutorial maps already populated ?

thanks and have a nice day.

HI binbin,

You can exchange the save file, and load it.
To find the location of save files. Type in %appdata% in explorer, and go to Factorio -> saves.

I have not seen anything about a repository but a lot of maps are added as an attachment in these forums or a link to dropbox, where you can download the save file.
For example I uploaded my save file a few months ago. It still works in current version.
You can find mine here .

Or you can find another file here This one is pretty awesome. (and I think is used in the gameplay trailer)

Probably a lot of them scattered around the forum. But this is what I could find quickly.

Found two more. Both are used in the Factorio gameplay trailer.
The factory itself
Game of Life

There was factorio->google maps mod somewhere. I wonder if it's still updated...

Thanks for these infos. I found the Game Of Life very impressive, as the GIF animation. I'll study that closer !

It does have updated version: viewtopic.php?f=92&t=14582
PS Getting something like that

Here's mine that's nearly 1 rocket/minute and relatively well organized.

save: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fv5hx8q09b1q0mc/12.2.zip?dl=0
mods that you'll need to see everything correctly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/etvmm7c18qv3s ... 2.zip?dl=0

I think it will load okay without the other mods I have: RSO, module inserter, blueprint flipper, abandon train.

*note that when blue circuits back up, you have to replace the belt stubs that when missing weave green circuits onto the red circuit side of the belt.

woooo !

thanks for the sharing. It seems huge.

I put all the same mods as you, but after a few seconds, I have this message that i do not understand... (and the game quits the map)

well forget it, I suppress all other mods, and one of them was probably faulty because now it works !

as a newbie, I am impressed !!! the size of it !!!

i have a stupid question : but how do you manage such a map ? do you use god mode to travel quickly from one point to another ? especially when you have an attack alert at the other side of the map...

In the very rare occasion that I don't defend something correctly I just cheat and load an autosave and start heading to the scene of the attack. You can get anywhere in the base in about 5 minutes. I would recommend using a train and alt-tabbing.
