How to add png files on a Mac?

Post by Hootah »

Hello!

TLDR is the title.

For additional details - I've run into an issue where attempting to start my game gives this error:

Disabling the listed mods and trying to load my save gives this error:

After reading through the discussions on the Behemoth Enemies Mod homepage, both this [/https://mods.factorio.com/mod/behemoth- ... 281b5dcdbb] and this [https://mods.factorio.com/mod/behemoth- ... 3bff25dccd] discussion leads me to believe that the only way I'm able to get out of this catch-22 is by adding the necessary png files. That or hope the mod dev updates soon...

I'm certainly NOT the most technically savvy, and can't make it past the "main menu" as all the instructions I can find are written in PC...

Specifically I am trying to replicate the fix that Scrapper_101 used: adding two renamed copies of existing PNG's to data\space-age\graphics\icons

Any and all help would be appreciated, and thank you!

You are in the wrong Folder. I don't have a Mac but when you look at

https://wiki.factorio.com/Application_directory

you maybe find the right location.

Your Screenshot shows the User Data Directory but you want the Application Data Directory

Look at the wiki link there are diffrent folders for steam install or the install from the factorio site.

The fix is for one or more of the mods you're using to update and not reference the deleted image file.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

This did it! Thank you ro011110ot, I was able to find the files I was lookin for.


And Rseding91 - you're absolutely correct, but the last update was 7 months ago so who knows how long that may be...
